well a 120 goes on a 3.5 rim i was saying 120 on a whatever it is 3.0 or 2.5 the bandit comes stock with and a 160 on a 4.5 i have a 160 or 165 mounted to a 5.5 is some one want to see that lol

Bandit comes stock with a 3.0 front rim and a 4.0 rear rim. Running 110/70-Z17 and 150/70-Z17.

A 160 on a 5.5 rim? On your car you mean???

Has to be as flat as a dead man's heartbeat

For some reason, I have no problem picturing a harley guy trying that one out...

Thanks for all the info guys!

Oh...heres a good question...what kinda gas should I be using? Since its a high compression engine, should I just use 91-94 octane?

And stormi--where did you get that Seafoam stuff in Canada (or where did you order it in the US)?

[If you should try to roll the bike with the disklock on, it can end very badly

I'm guilty of this, just rolling the bike slowly, though, so no damage. Kind of embarrasing, nevertheless.

What are these "chicken strips" referred to earlier in the thread?

Groovy ;)

Hey...maybe I'll have to come visit you in Toronto one of these days. My g/f is from there, so I'm in TO usually once a month.

The smallest hole (not on the rotor/braking surface) is 10.5mm, everything else is larger.

165/17 i was wrong but still on a 5.5"

another 165 tire

You remember the CDI flower right well this is my tire tree seems to be growing real well this year maybe due to the fact that i've not been plucking the fruit from it this year yet lol.

Napa carries it,.. and I bet even crappy tire does too.

GooseMan · « **Reply #87 on:** April 28, 2007, 11:28:29 PM »

hmm...none at crappy tire...but I'll keep looking!

Oh...heres another question. According to the manual, it says to change the o-ring when changing the oil filter (I guess the o-ring gasket on the oil filter cover). Is this necassary? If so...is that o-ring gasket easy to find?

gsxr400 racer · « **Reply #88 on:** April 28, 2007, 11:44:41 PM »

usually comes with the aftermarket oil filter i think factory oil filter you have to order the gasket seperate

Com'on down... If you bring the bike that would be a riot. I've only ever seen one other one on the road. Even if you bring the car I'm always up for pints.

Same offer goes to anyone else visiting T.O.
