    Which 550 to buy?

    Night and day difference between the reed engine and the piston port engine, the reed engine is way more user friendly-reliable, Piston port engines had single ring pistons and Mikuni BN carbs that never stayed in tune, I spent way more time working on piston port engines than I ever did riding...

    Oh no!..The rod!.. It's broken!

    Blaster hull paint

    He is talking about epoxy primer sealer, it is usually used as a barrier coating to prevent bleed-through or separate two different components such as body filler and a topcoat https://www.spraymax.com/en-us/products/product/primer-primer-filler/2k-dts-sealer/

    Blaster hull paint

    I think I should elaborate here, the reason factory paint peels off in sheets is simple, first there is no primer, they shoot straight onto the Metton or SMC surface, no primer, no prep, no sanding, the paint has nothing to hold onto, also the Metton or SMC has mold release built into it so it...

I went and got it and drove off , I heard a...
