Ahhh, that's hard to believe, but it looks like the guy really did screw up. Amazing. I've heard of people screwing up with diesel/gas, but this is like going way out of your way to **** up.

I had a buddy who was on a ride with a bunch of guys & they made a gas stop & he filled up with diesel. One of the best riders I've ever seen too.

Obviously he still get razzed for that one.

It would lube up the rings and valve stems good. Kinda like an engine flush.

This is way better than the guy on the K@@#saki forum that let his friend drill a hole through the rear guard and the ecu.

Holy crap that guy must feel stupid. I'd feel completely idiotic if I did it with actual fuel additive, but that, that's just... wow.

Well on the way home today the rear tire seemed a little flat so I stopped off at the airport and filled up with some jet fuel. It seemed to hesitate around 3000rpm so I kept it in first gear for the next 120 miles in first while going 110mph. <<< does that make sense ...well either does that guys troubleshooting steps WTF

don't forget to add the second transmission for extra MPG, oh- while you're filling the blinker fluids, don't forget the halogen fluid as well. UNLESS you have HID lighting, do NOT pour halogen fluid in a HID. 6000k Xenon fluid is the way to go... just sayin...

Power steering fluid in the master cylinder is the big one with cages. I saw it several times in my years teaching Vocational Automotives. At least $2,000 in parts alone if it has ABS.

It could be a joke, but there are alot of people that are just clueless.

I was selling a RGV 250 once & this guy came to have a look, he said he didnt want to buy it because he thought the frame had been welded together because of a crash ! The bike was in perfect condition, he was just refering to the standard frame welds.

Also there are lots of people that dont do any work on there bikes & always take it to the bike shop for all work. An oil change may be basic for some of us, but lots of people just dont know how to do it.
