It seems to break every quarter even after I've added a plastic shim to prevent misalignment with the brake lever. I replaced it again the other day and the spring was still fine, it just didn't have contact.

Kawasaki never has any in stock so I've been buying cheap replacements for less than 1 USD. Even if I buy those that cost 3 USD, they don't last either.

The widow's death was reported to GSIS ASAP and there are no records of such a sum being received from them. The widow's estate was settled at least 12 years ago. As far as I understand it, the sum should have been drawn from the widow's estate within the 2 year settlement period and that the heirs have no legal obligation to give any money to GSIS at this point. Their own policy mentions that recovery of overpayments is limited to the estate of the deceased.

Guided by the LSG opinions, the Operations Groups reviewed the existing policies on the recovery of pension overpayments (and outstanding receivables) of deceased p

They keep their distance when I'm driving a car. When I'm riding a motorcycle, they invade my space and come within inches. A few can barely control their bikes and are just idiotically brave enough to take massive risks.

The problem with riding at a faster than reasonable speed is it attracts the small engine racers who only see a big bike and want the bragging rights that they "beat" me. It becomes an arms race if I accelerate hard. Nevermind that there's no point accelerating hard when you're braking again in 50 meters. Sure I can beat their top speed but that's ill-advised when I'm in city streets and not on a highway.

Speaking of braking, I've lost count of the number of bikes behind

I'm on the lookout for shops that do so in the Parañaque or Las Piñas area but I'm willing to go to Caloocan if that's the only area that has decent tire shops. The ones I've asked so far don't do balancing.

I'm currently using 20W-50 API SP JASO MA2 mineral oil supplied by Kawasaki and manufactured by ENOC. According to the manual, this is suitable for ambient temperatures ranging from 0C to over 40C. I figured this is fine with average temperatures being 30C or more. I also thought it's a good idea in case it goes over 40C.

What I'm wondering about is, why does it smoothen out after 1000 km? I'd expect it to be smoother from the very beginning. This has been the case for all the oil changes we've done ever since we bought the bike used a year ago. There's nothing out of the ordinary observed with the old oil. No visible metal or anything.

I'm switching to 10W-40 Motul 7100 on the next oil ch
