It's possible that your heater core has an air bubble in it that will not allow it to completely fill up with warm engine coolant. When the engine is fully up to operating temperature, feel the hoses going into the heater core. They should both be warm to the touch. If they're not, take it...

First off... It's CATALYTIC CONVERTER. Not Cadillac. The oxygen sensor is a whole lot cheaper and easier to replace than a catalytic converter. Try having that replaced, and if your check engine light stays off, you're good.

Oil in the air cleaner box is because there is a crankcase vent routed up into the air cleaner. It's possible the engine may be overfull with oil. As far as the engine 'stuttering', there could be several reasons, but my first guess would be oil fouled spark plugs. I'd get the bike into a...

If you've got the money, go with Michelins. The last set I had on a light truck went 60K miles, and still had a bit of tread left.

Not enough information to even venture a guess at what insurance would cost for you. You need to talk to an insurance professional.

Neither is unsafe unless you crash the bike... Then BOTH will result in serious skin abrasions and lacerations. Some bikers call this 'pavement rash' and believe me... it hurts for a long time!

When is the last time this poor beast had a tune up? Sounds like it's due for one now. New air and fuel filters would be good too.

A 20 foot camper trailer can weigh 6000 lbs or more. By the time you load it up with gear and put Mom and the kids and the dogs in the truck, You're going to need a full size 3/4 ton crew-cab pickup, or a full size SUV like a Chevy Suburban. Anything smaller would be unsafe. Good news is that...

The A/C is used to help make the defroster more efficient by removing excess humidity/moisture from the interior of the car. You may not have noticed this on previous vehicles, but AC systems have been connected to defrosters for many years.

I owned a 1000cc V-Strom a few years ago. (The 650 has the same chassis, just a smaller engine) In my opinion, it was every bit as good as a BMW R1150GS for a dual-sport touring bike. Nice ride, with good on-road handling, but a little bit short on leg room for me. The question is though...
