Now that would be a challenge, who can resurrect the oldest thread.

So many of us click to the new posts that we almost never see the OP unless the question being answered is unclear.

I suspect that it mostly happens when you search for a topic and then not paying attention to the OP date and not wanting to start a thread of your own, you post a current response and instantly an old post is once again at the top of the current activity.

Newer bikes 4 quarts, 38 ounces in the primary to make sure your compensator is wet. 88T, well mine took a short 4 once started.

Added, I suspect that Feb, 2007 may be as old as we can go. Prove me wrong.

Easy. This thread was started in 06. But to your point of not reading carefully...
