Yes, they do. Not as often, but they definitely do.

I do like technical discussion. Not hectoring and infomercials about
Berrymans. Why said I didn't like tech discussions? Who said I don't
like helpful tips? Only you.

Bwaaahahahaha! Talking to the mirror?

Thousands? Liar. If you think otherwise, please post no fewer than one
thousand Google references here.

No, it isn't. Just tell 'em to search rmt for the solution.

Of course there are. And there are good dealers, too.

There's a XJ750 Seca????
I have a 650 and know there were 900 or 950's but never heard of a
750. 4 or Vee twin? I wanted a Vee twin in that size real bad but had
to settle for a 4.

I tryed your chemtool B-12 today in my 90 CBR1000 (on topic?) and it worked
great! I used the recommended 4oz's and went for a ride. i could tell it was
idling better in no time! The bike sits in the garage a lot and i'm sure the
gas gets old and gummy. And I just paid $2.65 for a 15oz can at Advance
Auto. :-P
