I have a 1998 YZ400f i just recently got a few months ago. It runs awsome and is an all around great bike! but... about ever couple of rides (a hour or two each) i foul a plug! (iv'e gone through 3 now) the plugs are all carbon fouled. when it runs it runs awsome, but you'l go to start it up the next day, and it wont even fire. i have already leaned up the neetle jet a notch and the pilot jet a bit too, and i'm waiting to see what happens. is this all i need to do, or do i need to make furthur adjustments? Thanks, Michael

I would now like to join the “not rearing pigs” business. In your opinion, what is the best kind of farm not to rear pigs on, and which is the best breed of pigs not to rear?

"Yes, you see them and they make you cry." This infuriated his wife and daughter so the daughter said, "Mum, how many kinds of 'willies' are there?"

I just got a 2001 vstar 1100 classic. I didnt expect it to have the ghost flames. I do love them, however I noticed that they are NOT on the front fender. Does this seem right. They are on the tank and rear fender. I dont really trust what the dealer might tell me. PS howdy this is my first post.
