Wink Problem?

It seems the cold weather has effected the aiming of my 990's headlamp. During these cooler, shorter days, it's become most noticeable. Why is it I am better able to see the roadside tree tops illuminated rather than the roadway? Should I opt for the lower octane fuel, and run the appropriate map? Maybe add a tooth to the countershaft sprocket?

Your headlight is reflecting off the ice on the road and into the trees. It's natures way of saying, "Waddya, nuts?"

You probably need to rebuild your waterpump.

Adding your own tooth the counter shaft sprocket is brilliant. Looking forward to the write up.

BTW, does anyone have the anodization map for the Austrian oil?

Oh for all those who have taken off their canisters and SAS hoses, I'd like to buy them. The two extra I've put on have worked great. Solved the vibe issues associated with the training wheels. (I'm short).

TIA.

Depends on the type of oil you are using.

Smoke less crack, eat more cupcakes, check the tire pressure.
