I've dealt with the public in various capacities myself so understand that what comes from people is definitely not necessarily how it is. In this case, I very much recognize my limitations. I hesitated to ask in the...

    Thanks for taking the time with me here. Those screenshots I sent are from the Kawasaki manual. I can attach that when I get home. It is possible that I missed something though I did go through it a few times. But it’s entirely possible. And I did ask the dealer when they delivered - they said...

    I want to do what's right. That's why I started the thread in the first place. Unfortunately some started suggesting I can't read so I shared what is from them. That's all that's here.

    Here it is.... Kawasaki FT730V-EFI-English-Spanish.pdf states "Change oil every 100 hours." That's it. I'm certainly not trying to fight a fight I'd lose but it's right there - twice....no matter how much experience one has, it's what it says. Is it right? Well I have no idea.

    All the oils & grease - beginner questions

    so, I'm prepared for the "how can he not know this stuff?" head-shaking....but I'm going to put it out there. I'm about 3 months in to a new Ferris ISX800 and a trailer to haul her around. there's a lot of talk about lubrication and grease for the ZTR and I'd like to take care of it but it's my...

    Another one of those...which way do I go? So many options....

    So, I live in north central Florida and about 1 year ago purchased my first single family home (I travel extensively for work so have lived in condos/townhomes). We're on just short of 4 acres and are considering a neighboring lot of 1.8 acres for a total of <6. I started looking and...holy...
