I'm interested in how the majority of folks on our forum tighten spark plugs. Do you use a torque wrench or do you seat the plug finger tight, and then give it 1/2 turn?

I searched the Internet and Ebay looking for a deal on a Pirelli Angel ST 180/55ZR17. About the best I could find was $160. So I went down to my local dealer (M&M Motor Sports in Kalamazoo, Michigan) and bought it for $136.96 total including tax. I had always "assumed" a better price on the...

Help! I was trying to order a Morgan Carbtune from the UK. When I went to checkout and pay something came up about "Sage" then a list of cards. I have never ordered anything from the UK before, and don't know what "sage" is. What is "Sage" and is it safe?
If you have the RoadSmarts or ContiMotion on your bike, I would very much appreciate it if you could check the sidewalls to see where they are made, and reply to this post.
Thankyou

It suggests you can remove the air filter without disconnecting the fuel lines.
On page 6-17 (2005 Manual) it says:
1. Remove seat.

3. Lift fuel tank to position it away from the air filter case. (Do not disconnect the fuel...
1. Radiator and coolant reservoir were checked and both full.
2. Drained coolant and siphoned out reservoir measured at 2 quarts + 2 ½ cups total.
3. Filled radiator and reservoir with 2 quarts + 1 1/3 cups measured.
Could there be air bubbles in the system equivalent to 1 1/6 cups?
