yes, I used it last Fall on my 84 Nighthawk. It worked well to clean things up. Is it the greatest cleaner around? ...I don't know if I'd go that far...but it worked very well in cleaning up a lot of areas where I couldn't get a cleaning tool in (cooling fins on motor, etc.). I'd sure recommend it. What really blew me away was the S100 engine brightener...it turns faded black painted parts glossy and shiny again. I'll see if I can find the pics I posted previously..

excellent idea for a topic to discuss.. ...I don't' have any towing insurance for my bike...need to look into it. On the AMA site I recall it saying they would provide towing up to 30 miles or so?  My concern is being farther away from home than that...and also riding a 40 year old bike (Nighthawk) or 28 year old scoot (Helix) that likely no shop will touch.

Any thoughts on riding an older bike far from home? I've never had a problem with any of my bikes (out on the road, at least!). I suppose I need to check with my auto insurance to see about towing options. That $500 of Stig's for a blown tire hurts.

nothing wrong with iridium....the 'best' anything is subjective...price, longevity, performance, etc... I had to think about it for a second but none of my 3 bikes currently run iridiums (my People S200 did)...all regular NGK plugs. I think the main benefit to iridium in an automobile is the much longer life span...in bikes/scoots with easy to change plugs it's not as big of a deal. They do claim less fouling and potentially better performance.
I seriously doubt the 'butt-dynamometer' test would note a real difference...but iridiums are excellent plugs and if you've had good luck previously, go for it!

so sorry for you and your family.

Was just looking online at my local full line motorcycle (and Kymco) dealer. They have had 2 2023 silver scoots for a while. Both are listed on the website for a sale price of $8799 compared to list of $10,399. No idea about all the ‘add on’ fees, but found it interesting to see large discounts on anything with 2 wheels!

OK, now that the forum is back up and running I can vent...and I'm sure some here will relate. I tried starting my Nighthawk 650 last week...drained the battery trying to get it to start. Recharged battery and tried again later that day....same thing...battery drained, no start.

Recharged battery overnight. Tried again next day. No start. I thought it must be fuel related...so opened drain screws on float bowls..nothing coming out. Ah ha! must be petcock related! Removed (full) fuel tank...set on ground. Sucked on little vacuum hose going to petcock...no fuel came out..looked silly doing it, too... then thought, why don't I check the petcock in all positions?

Turned petcock to what I thought was 'off', sucked on vacuum hose and fuel came right out...Defective petcock? Nope...dumb me confused the 'on' and 'off' positions.  Aaarrrrggggghhhhh!

Reinstalled fuel tank, turned 'on' petcock, bike fired right up. Damn petcock.

yes, a little disconcerting to have the site down for days!
