  • How much can the wrong oil affect a motor?

    I have a 1999 dodge Dakota. Manual calls for 10-30. Searching around it seems like people use that or heavier oil in it. I got an oil change at Walmart the other day and they put in 5-20. I'm driving from Florida to va today and the truck starts getting real hot and losing power. I got off an exit and got to a shop right off the road. Oil was about 3.5 quarts too low and coolant was steaming and bubbling in the reserve tank. It's been 500 miles since the oil change. I know on motorcycles you can deviate slightly on oil depending on climate but usually not much. Could 5-20 be too thin for my trucks oil pump and burned off as the motor got hot. There's no visible oil leaks. Mechanic here says he thinks there's a spun bearing now.

  • Does a Landlord have to list fines in the lease?

    Our apartment complex allows up to 3 pets. We have one dog and paid all the pet fees for him. We are watching my sisters 3 cats for a few days and our landlord was in our apartment today for some inspection. We got a notice on our door today that we are in violation of the lease and are fined $250 per cat. Nowhere in the lease does it list fine amounts. We did not get a warning or a notice. We live in florida. Is this legal? We see dogs off leashes all the time without the landlord doing anything.

  • Aprilia RSV4 or BMW S1000RR?

    I'm narrowing down my search and any forum I look into always has biased answers. I know the s1000rr is solid and i'll have no problems using it as my daily. I can get any oem parts at just over cost from work. Anything aftermarket i can get at just over cost for either bike. I'm just wondering how the rsv4 would work as a daily driver. I've heard some horror stories about the aprilia and also heard of people that tour with them without a problem. the rsv4 i'm looking at is a 2012 which I think has most of the problems sorted out, and shorter 1st and 2nd gear. dealer sale price i think the aprilia would be just a tad cheaper. the s1000 would be a '13 but i'm really not sure how cheap i'll be able to get it from work. I'd like the rsv4 but don't wanna wait weeks for warranty work if anything comes up. any opinions?

  • Does the Soldier Sailor Act cover Reserve Drill?

    The soldier sailor act helps protect reservists or anyone called up for duty from being laid off work, not being hired, etc..

    Is there any sort of protection for reserve drill?

    The school I'm going to now has a grade for attendance because it looks good for potential employers, But If I can't be there for a couple days of school because of a military obligation (drill), can they still have repercussions of me not being there, or do they have to allow me time to make those days up?

    If I was being deployed or going to military training or any sort of active duty, I would be covered under the soldier sailor act. And any employer would also have to start you off as if you never left 90 days after you return from service.

    I have a long drill coming up and was wondering if I had any sort of protection.

    I'm pretty sure there are laws that prevent an employer from reprimanding (or at least firing) someone for having to leave for military drill. Is there anything that covers schooling from dropping my grade down from not being there even though it was for a military obligation?

  • Why does Drake rap the way he raps?

    I keep hearing that motto song and a few weeks ago learned that its the same guy from the sprite commercials. now the image really doesnt match the voice in the song.

    then i watch a youtube video where drake has an interview with cnn.

    I'm not really into rap music. I do like some rap (not mainstream stuff) all types of rock. and lots of metal.

    when i heard this interview i realized that drake is very educated and speaks very well.

    why the hell does he have to sound like such a ******* lowlife douschebag in his songs?

    its pronounced "ev-ery-day".

    why can't he just sound educated like he does when he speaks?

  • Is it necessary to go down to 1st gear on the track?

    I have a cbr600rr and even on slow corners I'll keep it in 2nd. Usually the bike won't go under 4k rpm during the whole corner. I'll be taking it to the track this weekend and wondering if besides starting from a stop, will I ever need to shift all the way back down to 1st?

  • How to do this wiring?

    I'm redoing the wiring of a bike. I have the stock wiring and all connectors. the bike has no turn signals or indicator lights. i tore the whole wiring harness out because it was messy and things like the speedometer lights were not hooked up and there were probably 10 loose wires in the headlight. so my question is for things like the indicator lights, where you have wires coming off the engine to the clutch switch diode, do I have to i guess "complete the loop" and run the wire straight to its finishing point from positive to the negative with no bulb. or can i just cut the wire and tape up the end? this goes for the indicator lights mostly because of going through things like the clutch switch diode and other sensors. its a 81 cb750 so i don't think it relies on the electrical too much to make the engine run. Please be specific in answers, trying to get this done in time for biketoberfest.
