All 10- Is this normal for a spark plug? Agreed. It must be the additive. Since it happened on all four plugs it would be HIGHLY unlikely to be from something else like a gasket issue or coolant leak. I have also experienced the vibration. But it was on one of…
- Chain stretching excessively and quickly - need help 14 minutes ago, Duc2V4 You can try one of these Motion Pro Chain Alignment Tool Although it doesn't appear to be the retaining bolt the torque on that is 54 ft.lbs. I believe. No, it is not the front sprocket. The bolt…
- 6th Gen Coolant Leak I have 80k on my 6th gen, no leaks yet. Could just be a one-off thing with your bike. Sounds like you have it under control with what you plan to do, let us know how it turns out.

- Rear Suspension & Broken Chains The link I used on the first chain was a rivet. The second chain had a clip style link, and the one I just put on is a rivet again. I normally use rivets, not clips due to the negative press about the clip coming off.…
- Rear Suspension & Broken Chains I have a 2002 VFR without ABS, it has 60k and I use it daily for commuting to work. About 1,000 miles ago I changed the chain and sprockets. Within about 700 miles I broke the chain while riding home from work. It broke…
