oil leak or oil sucker?

The Fly 4mm tube was pretty damn stiff, which worked out for me, less chance to pinch when it stays up in the tire, since I put 2 small holes in the Moose HD tube I put in the front last night. Maybe its the new tires (K-270's) or the heavier tube but steering did seem a bit slower, well make that more stable. Not really sure on how much air I should be running so I am at 34f and 40r and the tires seem to flex pretty well for being that tight. I see what people mean about the 270 lean wiggley thingy, but im sure that will smooth out with a few miles on them. Dooden A15 Green Ape

Bearings greased a little, bolts all dry and glad I did'nt wait another year. Only one required the tap tap of a rubber mallet to move out. Happy to report all covered in grease and new tires installed. Dooden A5 Green Ape (Sporting new tires)

I have the Bridgestone Heavy Duty tube up front - it is about twice the weight and thickness of the Moose tube, which is in its own right much heavier than a stock tube. The wheel has a lot more inertia when I spin it by hand, so I expect that the laws of physics would be felt. I noticed it, but I need the security when riding off-road, so it is staying on. I wonder how the Bridgestone tube I am using up front compares to Fred's Fly Racing IV model... I would guess that they may be similar. Mike Torst Las Vegas

since you oil finishes /gets burnt so fast... when you rev the engine , is there any smoke out of the pipe? any smoke anywhere? i suspect the valve seals have hardened. to change them you will need: 4 valve rubber seals 1 cyclinder head gasket to do a grind valve since you're already there clean some of the carbon on the piston 2.5 liters of oil and since u opened the covers, do the valve clearence thingy? ( if your valves are too tight, it can cause the valve to be burnt, drinking up oil) good luck clint
