Ok, So we have a thread on "Good Advise" and "Near Death"
So Post Up! What Gear Do you Wear while Riding.
Me, In my many years of Involvement with Professional and Amateur Motorsports I'm Anal when it come to gear.
I have seen enough die or become Paralyzed, so if there's something new or better to protect myself I'm on it
On either My Blade or Scoot I wear a Arai XR-7 Helmut, Vanson Leather Jacket, Alpine Star Armored knuckle gloves, Gaerne GP Boots with Ti toes,
And from the good people at Leatt a Prototype Neck Brace.
The last two States I lived in have no helmut law so the Neck Brace usually gets the most smirks. Whatever.
The above combination was proven to keep me from great injury last June.
In 40+ years of riding I packed my StreetFighter (RIP) into the underside of a guard rail.
as She slid into and under the guard rail I went over the bars cleaning out the Instrument cluster and Bubble Shield, did some kind of Aerobatics with Acrobatics and landed
Almost on my feet. fractured two ribs on my right side and a fracture to my tail bone.
Didn't plan on being a Crash test Dummy for Leatt but i still walked away with only a couple fractures, Destroyed Bike and severely bruised pride.
Oh ya just in case I am a Organ Donor.
WEAR YOUR GEAR!!

I totally agree, Rocco is just being paranoid, oil may definitely smell like gas because both are a derivative of petroleum. im amazed how this thread has fished out tons of responses but the fact maybe no real problem yet occured.
come to think of it, is there a way gas can get into the oil reservoir ? i dont think so, you might all be thinking that gas tank is above the engine and u therefore concluded that the culprit is gravity... so stupet!
the first sign of a troubled fuel line is gas dripping on the floor, and NOT oil smelling like gas, gizzzz!!!!
dont let Rocco fool us, the next time rocco cry for help, nobody will listen,, i forgot but there was a story about that, its like a parable of a crying boy. lol[/quote]

Not sure to take this seriously its so ridiculous.
Are you axing if Gas can get into the crankcase? You don't think so as in you have no idea?
So actually you have "0" experience in what your talking about.
The Carb is above the motor. Have lots of experience with sticking needle valves, sticking floats, Old Brass soldered floats that sprung a leak etc.
all caused raw fuel to enter the cylinder, run past the rings and fill up the crank case.

Ya know, as bad as this all is it can be worse.
Like I stated I lost the dream job of 20.5 years, a Trophy wife, My home, most of my life savings BUT!
a long time friend got his Death Sentence today. Pancreatic Cancer, He's only 51.
It took my Mother in law in 6 months, was a round women and starved to Death Skin and Bones.
Horrible slow death.

I have only enjoyed them on my Street fighter. (RIP).
Tried several different bar bends until the Renthal Road bars became available in the States.
Vision was excellent with the Renthals, Had the folding harware on the mirrors for when parked or transport.
I don't think they will work at all on the new Fireblade.
I would like to see some pics on a Scoot?? anyone? anyone at all?

Pics of the Bar Ends please.
Had CRG's on my Street Fighter (RIP) and loved them.

I have a Plethora of Mothers and Meguires products.
I find the Best for the Scoot and Fireblade Plastic for UV and especially Bugs.
First is Protect-All, developed originally for RV's, Great UV protection and the Bugs fall right off with a water wet paper towel.
Next is Plexus does pret much the same thing as Protect-All, A Polish spray a little bit on and buff out, Easy, Easy, Easy.
Both are a bit pricey, most M/C dealers will stock both.
I'm fortunate enough to grab samples at the Trade shows.
Ride On!
