I just used for the first time my new vaccum pump oil changer. There is a set of markers on the side of the container that is supposed to indicate how much oil is in it. I can't read it, so I just ran through the process 4 times. I dumped the oil into an empty 5 quart Mobile 1 container, looks like I got almost 5 quarts out. I don't think you can ever get all the oil out anyway, whether you drain from the bottom either.
Now, I have plenty of oil in the garage, but none of the weight I wanna use. So my car is empty of oil, but I can't drive it to the store to get more. GF won't be here till later. Just warmed up the motorcycle, and gonna head to Auto Barn, fill my backpack with oil and ride it home. __________________

I have 5W30 and 15W50 I don't wanna put in 15W50 yet, but 5W30 seems to thin, with the weather getting warmer. I'm gonna get some 10W40. Quote: Originally Posted by DustenT What pump are you using? Note to self: Have oil on hand before removing from vehicle. | __________________

I still need to polish the wheels though. I love the retro bikes.  edit; here's the 1150(it's in pieces right now, so I just took a pic of the original sales brochure):  | | | | | 03-03-2007, 09:51 PM | #8 | | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2004 Location: Manassas, VA Posts: 4,129 |
Just got back from Auto Barn. I haven't ridden the bike since last November, so she needs a good cleaning. Only took like 6 kicks to get it started....haha. I have much better pics of the bike, this is just a pic made today.  __________________

Man I bet that thing sounds great. Beautiful bike, I like the helmet too. If you ride a retro bike, you gotta rock the retro helmet. It's not too cold out today, I might just take mine out for a little spin.  | | | | |
