Too funny

 

Well it's been a while since we all had our panties all knotted up about this thread so I thought I would resurrect it. I know how much some of you love it when an old thread pops back up.

I got to thinking, why not give this little widget a try, I've wasted more than $80 in an hour at the strip club so $80 bucks on the bike and I get to keep the little aluminum hockey puck as a trophy. Seemed like a good idea to me. I switched brands of oil so I figured this would be as good of time as any to flush the system.

According to the manufacture, Rogue Choppers, bikes with oil coolers that have a thermostat should be warmed up to operating temperature so the bi-metal spring stays open when flushing the system. I went for an hour or so ride in the morning came home and checked my temp with the digital temp/dipstick gauge it was in the 220 range where it normally is after a long ride. Did my normal oil change and then installed the "puck", pulled my return line and hooked up their hose and ran it in one of those graduated cups that you mix paint in. Ran a quart out of it, topped off the oil tank and and run another quart through it. Finished my service and went for a ride.

The old saying goes something like "don't knock it until you try it" so I figured I had better give it a try. Although after going back and reading my posts in this thread I can't say that I was as critical of the product as I was about some of the claims being made about the product.

So here it is:

100% oil change? Probably as close to 100% as you can get. I will add that the oil in the cooler doesn't get drained normally, so yes it's more complete.

Clean oil runs cooler? Took a couple of hour ride after the service. It was still in the 220*F range as it usually is after a long ride. Did not experience that benefit.

Engine will last longer? To be determined..... but here is my question: longer than what? since I don't have the funds for a controlled test (compare it to another engine where the scavenger wasn't used) how long was my engine supposed to last in the first place?

Will I continue to use it? Probably, I have it now and as long as I have the extra time that it takes to use it. I wouldn't feel as if I was in danger of blowing up my engine if I didn't use it though

 

LOL, why on earth would anyone spend 80 bucks per hour at the strip club? On a gal who's little more than a professional tease, of all things? There's plenty of good lookin' women around who will take off their clothes for free.

 

My bike got flooded in sandy. Since the drain plug was on the oil tank I could not get all the water out. After 15 gallons of oil still milky. Before tearing down the motor I tried the scavenger. 4 gallons latter no more milk. Since I own it I use it, a extra quart of oil and it makes oil changes easy and neat.

 

All the good decisions made while I was drinking, thank god I retired

 

It's called Saturday Night in the forums, everyone cutting up and havin a lil fun. I know I was only because I was lookin for the Tylenol this morning...heheh

 

I didn't want to read through all of the posts so sorry if its been asked. On the bottom of my engine on the right side near the right frame rail there is a pipe plug in the block. Can that be removed drain additional oil in addition to the main drain? I've never changed it myself yet and was trying to find all the info I can before I start. Thanks for the info.!

 

What year and model is your bike?

 

If you're referring to the plug under the flywheels at the lowest point, the answer is no. That's a tapered plug that if re installed too tight can actually crack the block, so leave it alone.

 

12 Fatboy. This is the plug.
