LOL *******, This is not about others and what they think. This is between you and I. So the fact based that I do give good advise as per the amount of likes as well noted in my posts. I give use full information based on my knowledge and not from copying as you, I have no worries. Now for me to give information on something I have experienced in my long career as a tech can be valuable advise and this is something you in your early years have not experienced yet.

Most of us give advise based on prior experiences and share that info. We look at the info and make our own decisions based on what we take in, I for one do not like the fact that you believe your word is gods and do not like the fact others have opinions. It might look as if I was forcing it down your throat as we were both giving advise on the same threat. Just because you didn't like the cheap comment that I noted. Now that's not my way and I like to share my advises and experiences, but for you to tell me to never post on a thread that you are on? This shows me that you think your word is holly and let me tell you something youngster, you got allot to learn. I will post and continue to give advise based on my experiences. What I believe is good for others is my opinion and if you have a problem with this then I say OH WELL.

Now for facts. I change my oil every few hours and every third change gets a filter and with the best quality oil and parts. Some might think this is a waste and stupid but others might follow and have good experiences such as I. I have never had an engine failure or major issues with a bike. This goes for everything from my Harley right through my Husa. I have a 05 Honda 250x that everyone rides and this machine just had its first valve adjustment in 2014 and still runs as new. What does this say? I am having great success with the techniques I use. And yes I use the recommended oils the manufacture states.

Some will take advise and some will not, but the fact is: giving advise is a good thing as it gives others who do not know allot of help. So call me what you like but those who I have actually helped will say different.

Also the fact you pulled a thread up that was long gone about something that has been at bay for quite a while shows something and with this being a subject you had no experience with at that time. It was your first few posts and you went off on me and a subject you did not know nothing about as you were such a new user, I did not care at that time, but now for you to think you are the word?? We all make this forum.

I have never jumped in and went off on someone who has not attacked prior, I do not jump into battles unless I was involved. So what's your excuse could it be your lonely? Oh and I don't have to paste huge emo's to prove points lmao maybe keep those to your video game pals as this is not a emo war lol.

Anyways This will be my last post on this thread and hoping it can go to bay as I don't think a post from way back on an issue that has been resolved is fair to the other member.

YUP YOU HAD THAT SHOWN TO YOU WHEN YOU STARTED THIS THREAD.

This is between you and I.

ILL AGREE WITH THAT. I DONT HAVE A PROBLEM WITH THE OTHER USERS SEEING WHAT IS BETWEEN US THOUGH I CAN SEE WHERE YOU MIGHT NOT.

So the fact based that I do give good advise as per the amount of likes and noted in my posts and use full information I gave based on my knowledge and not from copying as you do I have no worries.

YOU LIKE THE WORD FACT A LOT DONT YOU? YOUR IDEA OF FACTS ARE NOT BASED ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT YOU THINK. EXAMPLE: SHOW ME THE ABOVE FACT. BAD WORD CHOICE BECAUSE THAT IS AN OPINION.

Now for me to give information on something I have experienced in my long career as a tech is and can be valuable advise and something you in you early years have not experienced yet.

IM GLAD YOU SHARE YOUR EXPERIENCE WITH US, BELIEVE IT OR NOT. IM SURE YOU KNOW A LOT ABOUT A LOT OF THINGS. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THAT YOU DONT SEEM TO HAVE ANY TOLERANCE FOR OTHER IDEAS. YOU HAVE CLOSED YOUR MIND ON CERTAIN SUBJECTS AND DO A LOT OF JUDGING ALSO. WILL I SHOCK YOU IF I HAPPEN TO BE OLDER THAN YOU?



Most of us give advise based on prior experiences and share that info. We look at the info and make our own decisions based on what we take in, I for one do not like the fact that you believe your word is gods and do not like the fact others have opinions.

DITTO EXCEPT FOR THE PART ABOUT WHAT YOU THINK I THINK AND WHAT I THINK ABOUT OTHERS OPINIONS. I NEVER SAID THAT. MY ONE AND ONLY BEEF WITH YOU IS HOW YOU BANDY ABOUT YOUR OPINION THAT ANYONE WHO DOESNT SHARE YOUR OPINION IS 'CHEAP AND THATS A FACT'. THOSE WERE YOUR WORDS. SO WHERE IS THAT FACT? SHOW ME AND THE WORD YOUR PROOF. OR ADMIT THAT YOU HAVE A POOR CHOICE OF WORDS AND THAT YOU MEANT OPINION NOT FACT.

It might look as if I was forcing it down your throat as you were on the same threat as I was and the fact you believe that cheaping out is the way, but that's not my way and I like to share my advises and experiences,

SEE THERE YOU GO AGAIN. 'THE FACT THAT YOU BELIEVE CHEAPING OUT IS THE WAY'. WTF, THATS YOUR OPINION OF WHY ANYONE WOULD USE DIESEL. IF YOU HAD BOTHERED TO READ YOU WOULD HAVE NOTICED THAT I SAID I LIKE IT BECAUSE IT IS HEAVY DUTY. IT HAS BETTER HEAT RESISTANCE. IT HAS BETTER SHEAR RESISTANCE. I LIKE THE FACT THAT IT HAS MORE DETERGENTS TO SUSPEND THE DIRT. I COULD GIVE A **** ABOUT PRICE, I THINK THE OIL IS BETTER, THAT IS MY OPINION, I DIDNT EVER SAY YOU WERE WRONG, BUT YOU DID ME AND CALLED ME CHEAP, GAVE WARNING THAT A WHOLE LIST OF BAD EFFECTS WOULD RESULT, AND CLAIMED ALL THAT OPINION OF YOURS IS FACT. SO I CALLED YOU ON YOUR BS AND ASKED YOU TO SHOW ME YOUR FACTS. YOU COULDNT BECAUSE ITS ALL YOUR OPINION.

but for you to tell me to never post on a thread that you are on? This shows me that you think your word is holly and let me tell you something youngster, you got allot to learn. I will post and continue to give advise based on my experiences and what I believe is good for others and if you have a problem with this then I say OH WELL.

IASKED YOU TO AGREE TO DISAGREE BY SHOWING RESPECT BY NOT QUOTING EACH OTHER. YOU CAN POST WHEREVER YOU WANT I COULD CARE LESS. I JUST DONT NEED YOU TO GIVE ME ANYMORE OF YOUR BRAND OF 'FACT' THAT IS OPINION. GUESS WHAT, IM ENTITLED TO NOT ACCEPT YOUR 'FACTS' THAT ARE OPINION JUST AS YOU DONT HAVE TO ACCEPT MINE.



Now for facts. I change my oil every few hours and every third change gets a filter and with the best quality oil and parts. Some might think this is a waste and stupid but others might follow and have good experiences such as I. I have never had an engine failure or major issues with a bike. This goes for everything from my Harley right through my Husa. I have a 05 Honda 250x that everyone rides and this machine just had its first valve adjustment in 2014 and still runs as new. What does this say? I am having great success with the techniques I use. And yes I use the recommended oils the manufacture states.

GOOD FOR YOU, IM HAVING GREAT RESULTS WITH MY BIKES ALSO. THE '96 BMW R1100RS I BOUGHT USED WITH 12K MILES I HAD UNTIL '14 I PUT ALMOST 50K MILES ON IT, CHANGED OIL AT EITHER ONE YEAR OR 6K MILES. NEVER HAD A SINGLE THING GO WRONG WITH IT IN 13 YEARS. THAT BIKE WILL PROBABLY BE GOOD FOR 100K+ MILES, I KUST WANTED TO UPGRADE OR I WOULD STILL HAVE IT. IT GOT ROTELLA T6 BECAUSE I LIKED HOW THAT WORKED IN MY '95 F800 FLATBED. POR THING GETS OUL CHANGED ABOUT EVERY 10-12K. THE DONKEY FORKLIFT ON THE BACK IS ALSO DIESEL. GETS SERVICED EVERY 50 HOURS WHICH IS 20 MORE THAN RECOMMENDED. THIS STUFF HAS A JOB TO DO AND IT GETS SERVICED WHEN THERE IS TIME. THE ROTELLA HELPS KEEP IT ALL GOOD DESPITE MY LACK OF SETVICING IT AS IT SHOULD BE. I DONT NEED A LECTURE ON THAT EITHER, IM A BIG BOY AND I MAKE BIG BOY DECISIONS LIKE ALL BUSINESS OWNERS MUST.



Some will take advise and some will not, but the fact is that it is giving advise is a good thing as it gives others who do not know help. So call me what you like but those who I have actually helped will say different.

THATS AN ARGUMENT BETWEEN YOU AND YOURSELF. I AM CALLING YOU A TROLL BECAUSE EVEN WHEN GIVEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO MAKE AMENDS YOU WONT OR CANT.



Also the fact you pulled a thread up that was long gone about something that has been at bay for quite a while and a subject you did not know nothing about as you were a new user at that time you had to give your 2 cents and going off on me and not knowing anything about what was happening shows a little.

I READ YOUR TROLL POLL WHEN I GOT BS FROM TAFFY. I KNOW WHAT ITS ABOUT IM NOT STUPID. AND I GAVE TAFFY **** WHEN HE RETURNED TO GIVE ME MORE BUT IM NOT STARTING ANY THREADS ABOUT IT. I DECIDED THAT THIS WAS THE PERFECT THREAD TO CALL YOU ON YOUR **** BECAUSE THIS IS A SHOWCASE OF YOUR ****. I DIDNT COMMENT HERE UNTIL AFTER YOU GAVE ME REASON TO. NOW IM RUBBING YOUR NOSE IN YIUR OWN ****. REALLY EASY.



I have never jumped in and went off on someone who has not attacked prior, I do not jump into battles unless I was involved.

YOU STARTED THIS BY CALLING ME CHEAP. WHETHER THAY IS TRUE OR NOT YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO SAY THAT OPINION AND NOT GET CALLED TO THE MAT FOR IT. YOU KNOW NOTHING ABOUT ME AND I KNOW YOU WOULD THINK TWICE ABOUT THROWING AROUND NEGATIVE LABELS ON PEOPLE IF YOU WERENT HIDING BEHIND A KEYBOARD. IF SPENT 40 YEARS IN A CONSTRUCTION TRADE. YOU MIGHT NOT WANT TO PISS ME OFF IF I WAS STANDING IN FRONT OF YOU, IM NOT EXACTLY SMALL IN SIZE AND IM NOT A PUSHOVER. I DONT START FIGHTS BUT I WILL FINISH THEM WHEN PROVOKED INTO IT.

So what's your excuse could it be your lonely? Oh and I don't have to paste huge emo's to prove points lmao maybe keep those to you video game pals as this is not a emo war lol.

MY IMPRESSION IS THAT YOU CANT BE BOTHERED OR DONT KNOW HOW TO FIND INFORMATION ON THE INTERNET AND REPOST IT BASED ON YOUR TYPING WORD FOR WORD THAT INFO ON CASTROL OIL IN POLSKAS OIL THREAD WHEN YOU COULD JUST PROVIDE A LINK. DONT KNOW HOW? THEN I WOULD SUGGEST THAT AS YOU POST HERE THERE AND EVERYWHERE YOU MIGHT WANT TO AVOID WORDS LIKE FACT, ALWAYS,NEVER, PERFECT AND THE LIKE FOR THE SIMPLE REASON THAT ALMOST NOTHING IS ALWAYS OR NEVER OR PERFECT, AND IF YOU SAY 'THATS A FACT' SOMEONE MAY CALL YOU ON SHOWING YOUR 'FACT' LIKE I DID AND THEN YOU WILL JUST LOOK STUPID WHEN YOU CANT.



Anyways This will be my last post on this thread and hoping it can go to bay as I don't think a post from way back on an issue that has been resolved is fair to the other member.

And this issue isn't resolved. Maybe the one about Taffy who I won't argue with you about being a bully and a troll.

Maybe if you went back and actually read what was said in Polska's oil thread maybe you would see that I wasn't saying your advice was wrong, it is the "safe" way to go. Also expensive. Maybe an expense that doesn't pay back, maybe it does. You approached your argument like YOU are the last word on the subject, I didn't ever portray that like you did. So why don't you show a little tolerance for others FE350. Because if you look over your post before you commit it to the universe looking for some of those words that beg to be disputed, you just might discover that others will take less offense to you.

Last time: friends? Can you possibly see that you "stepped on my toes" on this one? That you started it? If you can't there isn't much hope for you to not get in more confrontations here besides me and Taffy. Rainerio, who BTW has met me, summed it up pretty well. I won't stop defending myself and there won't be a winner. Not if you can't apologize. I will if you can. You'll never get that offer from Taffy.

Or I can go on making you look like a one-armed blind guy in a slap fight. Your call, but this is the last time I offer the olive branch. I'm sure you know a lot about engines. Can you learn something about how to make friendly discussion on the Internet with EVERYBODY INCLUDING THE PEOPLE WHO DONT ACCEPT YOUR OPINION, or do you already know everything there is about that too?

LMAO, Well the fourty years in the construction trade sure didn't serve you well. Had to post pictures of a old 5k truck and forklift. This tells me nothing other than you are proud and trying to prove something lol. Well my friend lol, I retired my trucking business that I had while also retiring my personal career and yes I had trucks also, actually we owned one of the largest trucking companies in Canada but I downsized when my DAD retired as I wanted to do other things, So we used a ton of oil lol, but they were more on the lines of real heavy trucks "Equipment haulers" so yes I also as you are a big truck driver lol but real big :) As for you putting your size at me lmao what are you trying to prove? Bulling me into an apology? Get real my friend this is not a bar fight. This is a discussion based on a opinion and as I said prior. My opinion is mine and some might use it and others might not and that is fact. Also the fact I have received a ton of pm's about topics and advise is also fact, but I don't need to copy and paste these as I have nothing to prove to you.

Now should you like to continue this and follow me around this forum than that's your right, should you want to try and make me look like a fool then no problem as well as WE BOTH ARE LOOKING LIKE FOOLS and I don't care as I am not proud just another human who is the same as everyone else lol. Should your feelings be hurt that I wont apologize than have them hurt. Just so you know as per your comment "Friends?" Buddy I aint your friend or have no interest in being such as I got enough. I aint on this forum to friend you that's for sure.
I do however appreciate the advise on this forum, The fact that I can help and the idea that help should it be required is a click away, I also like the threads and chatting within them to the users I meet. I also like to sit back and read for my downtime in the evening and this is why I am here, so it don't matter what you think. So I am sorry your feelings are hurt that I wont bow down to you and your "EXACTLY SMALL IN SIZE AND IM NOT A PUSHOVER" as this means **** to me and I don't care. Now speaking of internet lol, do you really think it is smart to post a picture of your **** trucks plate on the internet when having a pissing match lol Not that I give a **** about it, but what if another user who might work at DOT or have a friend who works at the scales not like our rant and send a message out? It isn't wise to post a plate number so you might want to use that advise lol. Or we can have a pissing match about credit cards and you can post that lmao. Anyways have a great night and hope your blood vessels don't break in that exactly small in size head of yours.
I am retired and can keep this up should you want to or we can leave this old thread alone and let it go away on respect of others who don't want it around. Your call Brutus lmfao
 
Pls make it stop. You dont have to like eachother. Wer talking about motorcycles here,Trips and fun stuff.
If you wanna argue, do it in private, Or get Guns to make headlines.
 
About using diesel oil in your bikes I actually contacted DELO and one of their oil technicians about using diesel oil in our bikes and he said he'd heard about Harley riders using it etc but said he wasn't so sure about us using it in smaller cc bikes bcause of ash problems but said it was certainly interesting that people do use it. I can get the email up if need be he explains the pros and cons better then I can and maybe we can put that issue to bed.
 
Ok, at least I have enough class to have tried to have this come out in the win column for both of us, long shot that it was. Oh well.

I'm done with this, I won't be wasting any more time on this. Once a troll always a troll. This thread is your troll masterpiece, something you can be proud of for eternity.

So I'm trying a Golden tyre fatty on the front of my Berg, it's freakin huge! After 1 quick ride I like it. Anybody else try one?

My sister uses them and thinks they are the best. I am using the Mitas but thinking of changing up. I also have been looking into trials tires as allot here are on that kick. Have you been on pavement with it and if so, how does it feel?

I did ride it on the road to the trail, but just putted as it doesn't have a plate. It is a nice twisty road and it felt okay with about 13lbs in it.

I like the MT43 on the rear of less powerful bikes. You can see the KTM on the trailer has one. They just don't hook up on more powerful bikes IMO, especially in all the sand we ride out here.

Thanks for the info on the MT43 as that was something I was looking at. I still might try it as we don't have the sand issue and allot of rocky stuff. So thinking this might work well climbing the hills on the shale?

I love the MT43 on tight slower paced technical stuff. I run one on my KDX200 and my GF on her KTM 250rfs and it grabs onto rocks and loose terrain surprisingly well. I'll likely try one on the 300 next. IMO the only negative on tight ST is that in looses traction braking down steep loose hills sooner than a knobby, but it works so well everywhere else, including climbing, it's not a deal breaker for me. It's great that it's DOT legal, and also wears like iron.

Not surprisingly as a trials type tire it isn't my choice for the open desert. It doesn't hook up well in the sand or in fast corners when pushed hard at higher speeds-where I like to run higher pressures. It does well when ridden with finesse, like a trials rider, not a ham fisted MX or desert goon, (which I am getting too old to be).
 
i run one on my 650, but i don't ride as hard as i used to. it gets a fair amount of road use and i can't say it feels a lot different that a regular knobby if inflated to 12-15 psi. i try to avoid the sugary sand which is easy to do around here as it is high desert. works great in loose rocks which we seem to have a lot of.
 
I always wantedto try one of the 20 inch front tires because of the large sidewalls to see if they are better in rocks, colorado is all rock. If the golden tyre was cheaper and easier to find for me i might try one.
 
I don't think a 20" has a 'larger' sidewall? a 20" tyre has no benefit at all. you have a cvhoice of two tyres and there are 50 to choose from in 21". they are 90/90 as are the 21" but the advantage that the 20" has is that they run them on a 2.15 rim.

I don't get that one at all......

Would that not give a wider profile at lower tire pressure a better surface to grab the rocks? I don't think any advantage to the 20 over 21? Anyone on this topic? What does a front tire really do but track and follow where it is placed? As long as it tracks and does a good job of that is really all we need? Just thoughts.
 
as you know, I'm heavily involved in the sidecar-cross scene and sponsor a team. we only have two 20" tyres to choose from: a Pirelli and a Maxxis. Maxxis have recently made about 1,000 tyres and then destroyed mould. Maxxis have said that. so soon, ScX will have to get by with one tyre. apparently, 1,000 tyres was a mornings work for one machine and barely worth the effort.

the wider the tyre, the less penetration you get. if you were to load the front end with weight, make it handle, make it grip etc with no loss whatsoever (and it is always a compromise) then it might be better. but the steering would be heavier, the grip levels would throw the bars around, the bike would be heavy to steer and the settings compromised because of it.

on the Sc, Rob found that with a 2.15 front rim, the grip level was the same with a 21" and it was better over rough ground than the 20", that 21" absorbed the bumps better due to the diameter. he felt he needed more time for testing. the actual difference was just 10-15mm in height and the steering and suspension were totally altered. it took three sessions to make it handle with a change of front loop position and front shock change to keep the original ride height on the front.

Honda pushed the 23" front wheel for a couple years. It sucked. The 20" was all the rage for a very short time, then like the 23, it went the way of the dodo. Based on tire availability alone, I'll stick with the 21.
