oil question.

so i am on the borderline of needing to change my oil.  i am planning on racing on sunday at rock falls.  would it be better to change it before or after the day is run?

another option i have come across is to just drain all the oil out and run it like that.  weight savings right?  oil is optional right?

Re: oil question.

All that oil in there does add to the weight of the bike and slows you down, draining it out completely would be the best choice.

As much as i would like to agree with aaron, i must say you do need to have something in it to help the parts slide freely.... 1.5 tubes of the warming ky jelly will do the trick, and yet taking off the unwanted weight.

Re: oil question.

I would personally go with the KY non-warming...seems to be more slippery, less friction, and the extra heat of "warming" could rob horsies!

I want to give my reasoning for picking the warming vs the non warming.. The cool downs between the runs at the raceway as well as the fall like conditions we are experiencing here in Wisconsin.

Although we differ in in type of lubricant... im sure we all are in agreement one is needed. Based on experience, i prefer the factory recommended  (natural) over any others... but in certain circumstances a synthetic or petroleum based product is used to get the desired results.

Re: oil question.

I understand now. I remember that old movie too now that you pointed that out. I take Silkwood showers almost every time I fart these days.

Wow....I didn't realize that was a verb.

Actually, I thought of "The Crying Game" shower....

Ironic that us BIR crew returning home this evening came up with new twists on old alternatives.  What was the one? A jelly sanchez?

Ah....I finally got a chance to read through this whole post and wanted to thank you all. I haven't laughed that hard since Tommy tried to beat up an inflatable lawn ornament.  And lost.

That takes on new meaning in the bathroom.
