    I would rather have a cheap bike and ride than an expensive bike and not ride. i would put 20,000 miles a year on an old 400 kawi I had about 25 years ago at the same time my buddy had a gold wing and I would be suprised if he even put 20 miles a year on it. he didn't like the way the wind buffed his head when he rode but at least he could tell everyone he owned a gold wing. In the mean time he mocked my little kawi said it wasn't a real bike. But I rode He didn't:bang head:

    Clutch fluid as does brake fluid absorbs moisture over time. As this occures the fluid gets darker. Also though I have seen this occur rarely some people think brake fluid hydraulic fluid and trans mission fluid are the same thing, and will sometimes substitute one for the other. This is defifnitly a NO NO. Any fluid that is petrolium based will ruin (usually swell ) the rubber parts in the system. another thing that will darken the fluid is the natural wear of internal compnents in the system not usually something to worry about just change the fluid.

    The easist way I know of getting a feel for the friction zone and (and I use this when teaching people to drive standard caras as well ) is with the vehicle parked, in gear and brakes applied slowily let the clutch out until you feel the engine rpm drop or the engine about to stall then pull the clutch back in ( with a car push it back down) Do this over and over again and each time try to do it a little quicker. After awhile your mind and hand just seem to instinctivly know were to expect this transition to take place, and you dont even have to think about it.

    A little rich on the fuel but not too bad for a bike, check the condition of your air cleaner. Also that insulator is very white indicating that the plug itself may be just a little too hot try going down one heat range on the plug. the perfect colour of the insulator should be a light to medium tan. Use extreme caution on the water trick. Yes it does clean the carbon, but on a badly carboned engine it some times frees it up in chunks which in extreme cases can do valve damage. Sometime its safer to use one of the commercial cleaners because they soften the carbon up, rather than just kind of blast it of in pieces.

    Glad your Ok must be the weather . I had a car in the third lane but behind me want the ramp on the right . I nstead of lowing down and cutting across behind me to get over for which he had lots of room he had to speed up pass me and cut across right in front of me squeezing between me and the car in front of me as well as force me over to give him room. Wish I had the truck instead of the bike at that moment.

    There is nothing the matter with you, You are a MOTHER and what your feeling is right and natural. Prayers and best wishes sent your way, and as Boomer say's just be ready for that big smile when he steps back onto the ground and give him the biggest hug a mother ever gave a son.

    Good luck Carl and make sure you take your list of signatures with you. Small operators like yourself need to be heard.
