Cars & Transportation - 10 July 2006

I've just bought a used 88 Virago 250 and need to know the ins and outs of the bike. As a new rider, I'd like to know all the features and nooks and crannies on the bike. Can anyone help?

A motorcycle helmet significantly improves the chance that the rider will survive an accident with a serious body injury that could leave him requiring assistance the rest of his life, thereby taxing health care.

Without a helmet on, there is a much greater chance that a crash that causes serious bodily harm will be fatal. A corpse doesn't cost the health care system much.

Isn't the argument for helmet laws really the best argument against them?

Whats the best way to clean the engine out of this mixture without taking it apart. Last time oil drained it looked like a light tan milkshake. Are there any good cleaners I can add to the oil to get all this sludge out or any other suggestions or insight are appreciatted. Also what is best to add to the oil once sludge is removed to relubricate all the internal parts well.

Does anybody know whether you can be stopped and fined $150.00 for not wearing a N.Z standard safty motorbike helmet,and where I can check my rights on this.
My partner and I were stopped buy a cop one Sunday, with the usual license and rego check, fined my man $150.00, over his helmet.The cop would not allow him to ride the rest of the distance on the bike. I gavemy man my helmet and had to go the rest of the distant in the cop car, not impressed,anyone got any ideas on this.

There is no Sales Tax in Oregon, potentially i can save $5000 to $6000 by not paying the sales tax. I even have a friend who i can put down as the local resident address in Oregon. However, my home is in San Francisco.

I was told my car needs work done on the fuel injector. The mechanic said that since it jerks sometimes when i press the gas, the fuel injector is having problems. Is this true?

The car is an 89 ford escort with 45k miles. New spark plugs, recent oil change, and recent trans fluid change. I don't think there are any trans problems, as the jerking happens even when it doesnt shift.

Prefer V4 rather V6, since I am not really concerned with bigger horse power.

My dash computer tells me when to change my oil. Like all BMWs. The thing is it tells me to change it only at about 9 thousand miles. The oil still looks great at that many miles and my engine doesnt burn or leak any oil. One of my mechanics says to just put what BMW says to put in it. Non-synthetic, and just go by what the computer says to. He is an intependent BMW master mechanic. Another mechanic says to put synthetic in it every 4 to 5 thousand miles at the most. HE is just a europian auto mech. not a BMW mech. The car has 95,000 miles on it and purrz like it should. What about additives?
