      Yeah, but you have the most with absolutely ZERO oil pressure!

      Try your hardest to be the kind of person your dog thinks you are.

      You can live to be 100, as long as you give up everything that would make you want to live to be 100!

        This is TRUE!!!

        I'd ask if there was an award for that...
        but not blowing up the motor, and still being able to ride it like nothing ever happened is award enough!

        So now, I've prepared a little speech...

        "I'd like to take this opportunity to thank my friends... who stood with me in the hour of my greatest need....

        And lastly, I'd like to thank, all the little people @ Yamaha... who designed & engineered an unbelievably tough motorcycle when they built the 11...who had the ability to see down the future, and could see there'd be a man who'd own one of these great bikes one day, but would trust there friend to tear it apart for repairs, and that same man would bolt the oil pump back together again w/o Locktite... So they said...'We gotta make this engine just a bit tougher... just to help him out, or he'll blow it up and make us look bad'..."
        Thank you Yamaha!

          oil, gas... what's the difference.

          Hmm, No oil pressure?

          I had more gas then oil in the crankcase for 200-400 miles..

          anyway...

          2400 miles on the XS11
          0950 miles on ninja
          0350 miles on S1
          Total
          3700 miles (that's pathetic... for me)

          too many repair hours and not enough parts money last summer.
          this coming summer is going to be fun

          Keep'er between the ditches.

              There’s something about going riding with your friends, a feeling of freedom, a feeling of joy that really can’t be put into words.
              It can only be fully shared by someone who’s done it.......... on any sunday
