    I picked up a new chain and sprocket last Thursday and put them right on, (now at 17/43). Then it rained for three days. Stopped long enough that the road was dry so I just took a test ride. Probably got less than five miles before the road was all wet again. I only rode the bike once after...

    Sorry to burn a slot here, but I need some help and cannot access the online shop manual right now (in addition to being on dial backup). Can anyone who can access it (or knows) tell me the torque specs for the bolts attaching the front calipers to the forks for a 2001 TLS? The standard...

    Ok not really, its more like 500% more, but there is a catch. I need to get this out of my brain before i forget, since i did this along time ago.

    Hi All, There is a guy on a local forum with the following question, I though you guys would be able to give a greater insight into the differences. Question: Whenever I have come across a V-Twin rider, they always proclaim how wonderful the pull of a V-Twin is compared to a inline-4. I...

    Is torque a correctable measure? Can the same formula be used for hp and tq corrections? My bike made an uncorrected 113hp. Someone posted that corrects to 129. 129 is 115% of 113. My bike made 68lb tq. Using the same formula that corrects to 78lbs. Is that fairly accurate?
