Urge
Congress
to
hold
hearings
regarding
the
CPSIA
lead
ban
affecting
youth-model
off-highway
motorcycles
and
ATVs
|
The
AMA
strongly
urges
all
motorcyclists
and
ATV
riders
to
contact
their
U.S.
Senators
and
Representatives
today
and
demand
that
they
conduct
hearings
regarding
the
Consumer
Product
Safety
Improvement
Act
(CPSIA)
lead
ban
affecting
youth-model
off-highway
motorcycles
and
all-terrain
vehicles
(ATVs).
Last
year
at
this
time,
the
Consumer
Product
Safety
Commission
(CPSC)
ran
seriously
afoul
of
the
motorcycle
and
ATV
communities
when
it
included
youth-model
off-highway
motorcycles
and
ATVs
in
the
agency's
sweeping
ban
of
children's
products
containing
lead.
This
action
caused
a
perilous,
unintended
consequence
for
children
ages
12
and
under,
forcing
them
onto
dirtbikes
and
ATVs
too
large
for
them
to
operate
safely.
In
addition,
the
law
has
resulted
in
a
severe
disruption
to
families
who
recreate
together,
has
had
a
deleterious
effect
on
youth
amateur
racing,
and
has
devastated
many
small
businesses
that
sell
off-highway
vehicles
(OHVs).
Congress
acknowledged
the
problems
surrounding
the
implementation
of
certain
aspects
of
the
CPSIA
in
legislation
that
was
passed
in
December
2009.
The
AMA
appreciates
this
admission,
and
will
continue
to
work
with
the
CPSC
and
lawmakers
to
permanently
exclude
youth-model
motorcycles
and
ATVs
from
the
lead-content
limits
of
the
CPSIA.
The
best
way
to
do
this
is
to
support
Representative
Denny
Rehberg's
H.R.
1587,
The
quickest
way
to
reach
your
Senators
and
Representative
is
to
call
them.

| Not

Chain
Lube
is
Created
Equal |
| What's
the
deal? |
|
So
you
walk
into
the
parts
department
looking
for
chain
lube,
but
what
you
find
is
a
big
stack
of
different
cans
labels
and
promises.
When
it
comes
to
lubricating
your
chain,
what
is
the
right
stuff?
Thankfully
the
guys
at
Motorcyclist.com
asked
P.J.
Harvey,
president
and
founder
of
PJ1
Products.
He's
been
in
the
business
for
almost
four
decades,
and
although
he
did
not
actually
invent
chain
lube,
he
has
certainly
influenced
its
formulation
for
both
plain
roller
and
O-ring
Chains.
|
*REMEMBER*
Always
clean
and
lubricate
your
chain
on
a
regular
basis,
every
300
miles
on
a
street-bike
in
normal
conditions.
Motorcyclist:If
an
O-ring
chain
lube
doesn't
need
to
get
lubricant
past
the
O-rings
and
inside
the
chain,
what
does
it
do
for
the
chain
then?
PJH:It
keeps
the
chain
from
rusting,
it
lubricates
the
O-ring
itself
and
it
does
provide
some
cushion
effect
between
the
chain
roller
and
the
sprocket,
which
reduces
wear
on
the
sprockets
and
increases
the
chain's
life.
Motorcyclist:Any
thoughts
on
moly-based
or
wax-based
chain
lubes?
PJH:I
don't
know.
I
think
the
use
of
wax
is
misleading.
Wax
in
general
does
not
have
a
memory.
And
by
that
I
mean
once
it's
compacted,
it
doesn't
pop
back
to
where
it
needs
to
be
the
next
time
around
the
sprockets.
You
need
something
that's
got
memory,
something
that
has
some
viscosity,
that'll
stay
on
the
chain.
And
there's
a
significant
difference
there.
Motorcyclist:Any
thoughts
on
the
use
of
WD-40
as
a
chain
lube
for
O-ring
chains?
PJH:Whether
it's
WD-40
or
LPS3,
a
motorcycle
chain
has
such
demands
on
it,
and
one
of
them
is
absorbing
shock,
whether
it's
between
the
sprockets
and
the
chain,
or
whether
it's
between
the
internal
parts
of
the
chain.
And
WD-40
doesn't
have
that,
it's
not
designed
for
that
purpose,
it's
not
formulated
for
that.
Motorcyclist:What
about
cleaning
the
chain?
Almost
all
the
OEMs
and
chain
manufacturers
recommend
cleaning
the
chain
with
kerosene.
PJH:First,
some
kerosenes
can,
I
think,
affect
the
O-ring
itself.
Secondly,
kerosene
can
leave
a
film,
and
that
makes
it
more
difficult
for
the
chain
lubricant
to
attach
itself
to
the
chain's
surface.
Naphtha
[used
in
some
spray
chain-cleaners]
can
also
leave
a
film.
Motorcyclist:
So
how's
an
owner
supposed
to
clean
their
bike's
chain?
|
PJH:
Well,
if
there
are
some
commercial
products
out
there--and
a
lot
of
people
use
our
Super
Cleaner
for
that--that
can
remove
the
dirt
but
not
leave
a
residue,
that's
the
key
to
the
whole
cleaning
process
without
damaging
the
O-rings
or
undermining
its
seal.
|
The
important
thing
is
just
to
maintain
the
chain,
and
you'll
get
an
incredibly
long
life
out
of
it.
And
frankly,
it's
something
everybody
can
do.
Spray
on
the
lubricant
and
wipe
it
off
with
an
old
rag,
and
you've
got
a
chain
ready
to
go.
It's
not
a
big
deal.
Anybody
can
do
it.

Suzuki
GSXR-600 |

This
time
around
Suzuki
has
come
up
with
a
rejuvenated
model
containing
some
new
design
upgrades.

Suzuki
GSX-R
600
has
been
designed
to
give
better
performance
at
all
levels.
The
shape
of
the
headlight
is
a
bit
different
from
the
last
model
and
it
has
a
stylish
|
looking
exhaust.
The
frontal
cockpit
is
aerodynamic
with
headlights
that
are
integrated
with
the
body.
Its
fairing
gives
better
mirror
support
while
driving
through
the
signals.
The
gas
tank
of
this
model
is
narrow
but
the
seats
are
not
inclined,
giving
extra
comfort
to
the
rider.
The
GSX-R
600
also
has
ergonomic
pads
to
help
the
rider
sit
comfortably.
