Ok we already established theres alot of OLD guys on list, so. I looking for answers to health symtoms. (Diarrhea) I have noticed, on longer riding days I get diarrhea, and also with out a Kedney belt, kedney pain. I have made trips AVOIDING ALL LOCAL WATER. (except in food or bottled, and we all know MOST bottled is just filtered tap water.) I started drinking (bottled) Power-aid zero instead of just water. (I tried Imodium pills, even daily on trips) Being Hypoglycemic (low blood sugar) it can RUIN a few day's, to a week. (the whole trip.) Mark (West Mi.)

Mark- I am not a dr. but feel your pain. If your system tips-over when you travel, then you are doing something 'wrong' or outside of routine. Make traveling-meals as clsoe to normal without loading up on junk food, etc. One thing I suspect, is you are not drinking enough WATER. At a minimum 1 gallon a day while riding long distance. Kidney pain is/can be associated with poor fluid flow as well as poor posture. I try to drink a gallon of water a day and build/load my luggage so it can provide back support as well. What may seem like kidney pain, can also be the onset of pneumonia in your lungs. When I travel, I carry 4 qt canteens or (sic) camel back for 1 gallon of water. I 'try' to drink only distilled water, available ~$1 +/- gallon; (a little more at a C store), filling the camel back/canteens with the cleanest water available. Distilled water contains no floride or chlorine. Having 4qts of capacity lets me buy a gallon of water and top off all the containers. If there is a little left over, clean your visor with it. You should NOT eat anything that routinely upsets your stomach, such as the hot howling pina's peppers at the Subway. shrug. Food such as bacon/processed lunch meats contain nitrates and that can make your kidneys, guts tip-over as well, expecially if you get behind on the water intake. I am a traveling fan of SUBWAY; chicken breast (no nitrates) loaded with all the vegtables (no hot peppers); this combination is the traveling dual sport riders friend. Easy on the stomach and keeps you regular. revmaaatin.

I'd write a letter to the doctor who has a column in Motorcycle Consumer News (which I recommend to all motorcyclists).

Jeff and Tam a'Rack have just given you the same advice: Clean the pilot jet. Mr. Rack specified one of a number of methods to do that.
