Considering who's winning these days (17-year-old Milandre in 250GP), you may have to revise that date. Perhaps 2016 the things are going. By 2021, the kid could be retired!

Wheel Corrosion and Pitting
Have any of you GTS owners experienced corrosion of the wheels exhibited as pitting on the polished portions of the wheels? I live in South Florida right near the ocean and am afraid that the salty humid air is beginning to take its toll. Are there any products out there that will remove the pitting (which is getting pretty severe) or am I better off taking the wheels to a specialist to have the pitting removed and the wheels re-coated? If thats the case, any reccomendations for a shop in S. Florida would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Hugh

I don't think you can remove it easily 'cause it's under the clear coat (how it got there no-one knows???) Some of my buds swear by powder-coating--colors and clear--seems to last and look good on their rides (they may occasionally get off and wash their bikes though...).

Oil
I have just finished closely reading the article in the October issue of Motorcycle Consumer News regarding oil, and there were some very interesting points, which I though I'd share for those of you who don't get this mag (why don't you? It is the BEST one out there) or who missed the article. One of the items declared the following: "The evaporative loss data was an eye opener for us." I'm wondering how many of us that have reported significant losses of oil volume at high speed are actually seeing large evaporative losses?...that is some part of the oil is evaporating due to high internal operating temperatures of the engine. Also interesting was a sidebar entitled "The Synthetic Question": "The most glaring difference in synthetic-versus-petroleum oils can be seen in Chart F, Evaporative Losses. Because synthetic uses a manufactured base stock, its molecules tend to be more consistent in configuration. As a result, it is less inclined to lose mass when exposed to extreme heat. Of the top 8 oils in this test, the ones that lost the least to heating were all full synthetic. The 9 oils that lost the most were either petroleum based or a blend. THERE COULD NOT BE A MORE CLEAR DISTINCTION IN PERFORMANCE." (italics mine). And under CONCLUSIONS: "there are some trends worth highlighting. Both of the Mobil 1 oils (Tri-synthetic (auto) and MX4T) and the Amsoil (standard 10w-40) performed well in most of our tests and deserve your consideration. Redline oil also turned in strong results. At the, UM (italics, theirs), other end of the scale, we were surprised by the low results of the Honda oils." I think I am on safe ground here saying that if you are losing large volumes of oil during high speed riding, you pretty much owe it to yourself to try a synthetic. Personally I prefer Amsoil, but that is partly because I'm a dealer, and partly because I like dealing with the "little guy" as opposed to some faceless conglomerate like Mobil. It would also appear from the article that whether the oil is motorcycle specific or not is of little importance. Enjoy, and Regards, Henry S.

Re: Oil
I read the same article with much interest. Out of all the rally's I did this year, that is the biggest complaint I have about the GTS. In the Utah 1088 (28 hr) in June I ran Quaker State 10-40 blend and went thru a little more than 2 quarts in ~3400 miles. For the Northwest Passage (3 days/ 3000 mi) I used Quaker State 20-50 blend. With the vacation ride with Sandy on the way home all told was about 6400 miles and over 3 quarts. For the Rattlesnake 2000 (36 hr) I tried Golden Spectro 20-50 blend and used about 1 1/2 qts in 2800 mi. a slight improvement in consumption and the bike shifted much better. So now its on to one of the Synthetics, however rally season is over until next spring, so won't know till then to really test it. -- Dave Biasotti // Fremont, CA "Henry S.
