Rode it around town until 200, then went on a long trip to 500 miles. Didn't go fast but maintained freeway speed. THEN I just read in the manual for the first 500 miles try to not maintain a constant speed for long periods. Now I am sad and worried my motor isn't primo! :\ am I being overly scared? ]]> VRSCDX jsum36 http://www.1130cc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=143110 Various newbee questions http://www.1130cc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=143106&goto=newpost Thu, 09 Sep 2010 00:38:31 GMT 1) I have the 3.7 gal. tank. Whats a reasonably safe range with mixed highway and city?
2) My bike didn't come with an owners manual and I haven't ordered one yet. So, when I cycle through the display I have an odometer, a trip odometer, and then a display that looks like a small letter "r" and then a number that ranges arounf 89 to 91. What's that?
3) A dealer last week was telling me to put 20/50 in my engine and some Harley tranny oil for the transmission. I told him I thought the engine and transmission oil were combined in this bike like some Japanese bikes. Who's right?

On this last question I must stress that I'm not a complete dumbass I just don't have an owners manual or a Clymers manual yet. This thing is a 2004 with only 1450 miles on it. I'd rather not just take off and find out later how bad I screwed up.

Thanks in advance. ]]> V-ROD General Flashdog http://www.1130cc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=143106 Killerglass installed...#$%@ in the coolant??? http://www.1130cc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=143104&goto=newpost Wed, 08 Sep 2010 22:34:26 GMT Okay, this is something that I was hoping might go away (like get trapped and stay in the radiator...forever), but I did a coolant drain and flush (with 2 gallons of distilled water to get all the orange out) before I added my Engine Ice.

Okay, this is something that I was hoping might go away (like get trapped and stay in the radiator...forever), but I did a coolant drain and flush (with 2 gallons of distilled water to get all the orange out) before I added my Engine Ice. I stopped for lunch after the bike was drained for about an hour before I started working on cutting the hose and when I was curiously feeling the inside of the hard coolant pipe that runs along the frame I had some small black flakes that came out on my finger. Well I wiped them out as best as I could and then did a little scraping in there with my finger nail looking for more and didn't get any. Well after I finished the install, I poured in my Engine Ice, fired her up, and after the bike warmed up and the thermostat opened there were all these black flakes floating through the glass :chainsaw: Really!!! Again, the only reason I'm bringing it up now is that I was hoping it would go away. Anyone else have this problem? The only resolution I can think of is to drain the Engine Ice, filtrate it of the damned flakes and re-fill the bike again.
I can put up a crappy video if any of you want to see it.

Gun drilling is hollowing out the length of a bolt. I have a set of axle shafts for a 2 1/2 ton Rockwell axle that I had gun drilled. It makes them lighter and I'm told stronger because there is now 2 shear planes. Any thoughts? Anyone on here capable of doing this? Would the bolts need to be heat treated afterwards? Thanks.
