Brrrr. Cold start issue

[gringo]

A Shark Vision R ?
I bought one the other week , there's a little wind noise (particularly if you turn your head) but not too bad.
Wish I hadn't gone for the mat black one , have already scratched the paint.
Was going to buy a Reeview but it didn't fit me properly.

I found the cheek pads agrivating at the end of a 200k ride but I'm sure they will bed in. It's quieter than my last helmet which is nice but like you say a little wind noise up at 100km/h.

The tinted internal visor os ok, not as nice as my polarized sunglasses but the ability to leave it up when the sun goes behind you or is hidden in clouds for an extended period more than makes up for that. The best thing about the helmet for me though is the extended vision angles. I don't have to turn my head as much when checking over my sholder and I get a better feel for the traffic around me as I ride along. It's light as a feather too.

I have recently done the same on my 99 it had cold start problems and now it seems to be cranking fine and idles smoother.
Keep an eye on your oil because you may have increased deposits in there that will require an oil change, mine does!
What did you use? I used Redline Si-1, you get 3-4 tanks from a bottle

I just used some cheap NULON injector cleaner I had laying around, I don't buy into the whole brand name thing myself. Shell Helix or valvoline XLD premium is a good enough oil if I change it every 5000.

I have used car oil for yonks and my last bike at 100,000km had perfect cam lobes and didn't blow an ounce of smoke or use hardly any oil between changes. I just wait until the oil is on special at places like autobarn and stock up on 5 or 6 packs. The guy that runs suspention improvements here in briso (used to be head mech at honda in moss st) told me he puts any old oil in his. Even deisel oil. That was enough to break my fetish for $60 oil.

Of course if I regularly redlined my bike I might need the extra protection the botique stuff purportedly gives.
