What are the benefits to using Synthetic Oil?
Synthetic Oil, particularly SYN3® lubricant, is a multi-use oil, meaning that it can be used in the engine, primary chain case, and transmission. SYN3® lubricant is also designed to offer better wear protection at high temperatures, especially during out hot summers, and improved deposit control for a cleaner running engine, reduced oil consumption, high temperature detergency, and overall performance.

SYN3® lubricant is a full synthetic motor oil.
If there is a small puncture in one of my tires, can I patch the tire and still ride on it?
When a tire gets punctured, people are often tempted to plug or patch the hole rather than inserting a tube into the tire or replacing the tire outright. You may "plug" a tire as an emergency road repair but should replace it as soon as possible.
