what do you mean "make sure the front and rear match"? they don't wear out the same so you always end up replacing the rear first right?
already got some leather Honda gloves, guy gave them to me with the bike. But i'm thinking of picking up a pair of these for summer riding...
carbon fiber knuckles
what's a good bike lock to get?
oh and how to you lube your chain? ... heh heh... is it as simple as it sounds?

The best way to lube the change is when it is warm, right after a ride. If you have a rear stand then that will help out but if not then you will have to just keep moving the bike backward and forward. Spray the chain down with WD-40 and whip off the dirt and greese with a shop rag. After that spray on the lube. The best one to get is the "Bel Ray Chain Lube" It sprays on white but it will not fling off all over the bike when you go ride, like other lubes.
edit: Nice gloves

oh, ok cool. I think I'll be good to go cause the BT010 is actually one of 3 tires recommended in the owners manual.
lubing the chain does seem like it will be as easy as it sounds. I just didn't want to overlook something. Thanks!

got my oil squirter put on yesterday. Didn't really feel any difference so i guess that's good. I got on it pretty hard up to about 60 on the way home and it pulled just as strong as ever.

I hope I keeop my original also Still shifting fine @ 54k miles

sucks about the oil leak though. Take it to someone else besides the ass raping dealer and see what they'd charge.

Which one should I take it to?
Goodson Acura
Mac Churchill Acura
Vandergriff Acura
I'm thinking Goodson.
#9912
How come I've never heard of the dealer installing an "oil jet"? Are they just starting to do this?
Bill Westerledge at Vandergriff was a real dick to me one time I went in, and another time he was pretty helpful. I actually prefer Goodson for getting work done -- it's a much nicer service department IMO.

Aahhh... I assumed it was some notice saying "your transmission sucks and you should bring it in to be checked". My knee-jerk reaction was, "it's already been replaced -- but thanks!"
Guess I oughta bring it in then. Guess I'll do a little browse of the Tranny Section now.
