The metal cage on mine broke a long time ago although I think that even with a cage there may be some drops that are hard enough to break the bulb regardless of the metal cage.

For me the problem wasn't how long the bulbs last, its the durability of the bulb. I (like you) use the light in the garage. Its going to get dropped, stepped on, etc. In my experience, everything I dropped the light the bulb would break. I was using the standard incondecent for teh most part. I think I used the type you have on there once and it broke as well. After a while I got tired of buying bulbs and replacing them twice a day when I was working so I bought the halogen. The bulb never broke. It broke after a year, but the halogen bulb was alright.

Retractable or not, I will never buy a drop/shop light that uses a standard bulb. I was going through bulbs like water when I used to used to use the standard one. I have the halogen or whatever now. It uses a long straight bulb and doesn't have a filament. I never had a problem with it.

i have no clue where to begin on changing my chain.

The only part I really don't understand is how to install the new chain (riveting it) and how do you know when to take off links. The rest isn't really that bad I don't think. You have to remove the rear wheel to swap the sprocket. Front sprocket is held on by a bolt. The chain adjuster is pretty easy to work as well.

+1 I used to drive the city just to go to Betty's and Nicks. Then eat at Great Seas afterwards.

They have a couple of locations now. I used to go to the one in the city when I was younger since it was near my Sunday school. I go to the one in Skokie now (near Oakton and Crawford).

Sportbikes »Mao, we all saw it, how was the 749? »Go to message
At first I thought that the 749 headlights where hideous, but it grew on me and I like them. I too am curious to see how a 749 rides. Its on the short list for my next bike in like 4 years (it is at the bottom). I would have thought that the V-Twin would provide plenty of power in the low RPMs. The one gripe I have with the 600RR is the lack of power in the lower RPMs.

Only issue was the clutch bleeder bolt was letting air in through the screw threads, so I drained it, pulled it out and put on some plumbers tape to seal it up.

Its rewarding to do your own shit.

I tried to use a MityVac once, it drove me insane and I returned it. I bleed old school, with a cup and a rubber hose. Hasn't failed me yet.

I emailed Maxon. You have to have a FOID license AND be 21 to shoot a BB gun at their range. I think thats bogus, so back to the woods it is. I hate bugs
 
Maintenance »Be sure to bleed your brakes »Go to message
I need to change my brake fluid. It is brown. I'm not sure what kind of fluid to use. I want to use ATE super blue, but it will cost me $20 to order it from Amazon. Anyone know where I can get ATE locally? Or should I just use regular fluid? I put regular DOT4 in my Ninja 250 b/c I don't really care about that bike.

Just shutting up would have sufficed. Its not like she was going to give you a 10 questions quiz later.

They allow BB guns at the range. You may get laughed at though. You still need ear and eye protection.

I don't have a FOID card. I'm also 19 (turning 20 tommorow, w00t) and according to their website I'm not allowed to shoot without a parent/guardian if you are under 21 and my dad doesn't shoot. My friend is coming on Thursday, so I might go then. Do you have to bring your own targets?

Anybody know what the policy for BB guns is? My buddy bought a .177 BB gun, shoots copper BBs and runs of a CO2 cartridge. That range in DP is really close to my house, like 10 min. If we could go shoot there it would be pretty sweet.

What about Purolator filters? I've heard that they have very good filtration.
