What are some areas where you can ride dirt bikes and ATVs in Massachusetts?

I just sold my 1983 Kawasaki KZ750 LTD yesterday. This is what I did for 24 years. First, put the bike on the center stand. Under the bike there is a drain plug. Put something to catch the old oil in beneath the drain plug. Once most of it has drained out you need to remove the oil filter. There is a bolt a little more to the center of the bike than the drain plug. The bolt head is part of a larger cover that drops down once you have it totally loosened. The oil filter sits on this cover. Remove the filter taking notice of the spring location. Put a new filter in and reverse the process. Put in the drain plug. Then unscrew the oil filler cap. It is on the right side of the bike. The cap on mine was imprinted with "Use 10w40 oil". Put a funnel in and add oil. It will take just shy of 4 quarts. Check the little window below. The oil needs to be between the two marks. Run the bike a little, turn it off and then check the level again. Add more oil if you need it. Your good to go. I used Castrol GTX oil for 24 years and I never had an engine problem. Good luck.

What kind of bikes does everyone ride i know most have more than 1?

a good 20/50 should do the trick, and you want to use it in your bike's oil pan

What would be the car equivalent of a Honda CBR600 or Kawasaki 650R?

First put the bike on the center stand ...you will need a drain pan to catch the old oil...Under the motor is a drain plug remove it...The oild will come out into the pan.On the front of the engine is the Oil filter..It is inside a cover. You may have to remove your pipes depend on whether they are stock or not. Make sure to watch what order the stuff is inside. There should be a couple of orings a filter and a spring.
Put the new filter on.replace the drain plug.refill with a good 20w/50 motor oil. Check for specs on how much to put in.

I need straight pipes for a 1984 Honda Shadow VT700. Can anyone help?

Only thing I can add to the above good answer is go with Amsoil. I use Amsoil 20-50 in my twin and only change it every 2,000 miles or so. Never had an oil related engine problem. Of course, it runs about $9 a quart, but it's good ****.

My best friend bob has a gsxr 600.What bike should I buy so I can smoke him?


P.S. I use it in Florida in a commuter bike. After about 2,000 miles it's about shot. But again, never any trouble with oil related problems.

Bike too loud!?

The answer above mine is right on the money. I use 20-50 in the summer and 10-40 in the spring or fall. Use a quality motorcycle oil as your clutch and tranny use the same oil also. I put over 40k on mine before I sold it. Happy riding!
