My blinkers were a little dim so I changed my blinker fluid today.

I got a good deal only $8.99 +S&H.

I think it depends on if your capacitors are broken in or not. I like to switch to full synthetic around 5,000 miles.

Blinks harder, faster, and longer!

Just the way the mrs loves it.

btw, where's the SSS video tutorial on blinker fluid flush and fill?

if your changing your blinker fluid you might as well check your muffler bearings while your at it.

I already lubed mine when I put on my slip on's. Should be good for a while now.

Did you use the regular stuff or synthetic muffler bearing grease :?:

Synthetic is the way to go AFTER initial break-in following manufacturer recomended procedures w/ your blinker fluid and your muffler bearings. The most neglected item I find is the Kinitiner valve. I think the 919's have two. :wink:

OK, I'm guessing this is supposed to be a spoof somehow?? But I'm just not "getting it."

Would someone please explain this thread to me?? Is it just for humor?

Pretty much. Just go to the link Steve posted up top and you'll find they have spoofs for all sorts of automotive products. Personally, i love the descriptions. Sounds like some ebay auctions i've seen...like some computer fans that are billed as 'electric superchargers' for your car. :roll:

Dang. I hope it's not a spoof. I already ordered some of that synthetic blinker fluid. :? The cross-drilled brake lines look like a hot upgrade as well. I just wish they were available in stainless.

Think you are correct. The 599 only has one AND the ’04 is different than the ’05 (a USD design to save weight)

Mine has almost 4000 miles on it so it got to be replaced. I'm looking for a good place to get a USD carbon fiber Kineker Valve (should shave off like 0.25mg!!!)... Have heard rumors of a place in Brazil that sometimes can be found on eBay but....

did you use a left handed screw driver to replace the blinker fluid as well while eating your leafless lettace and drinking your powedered water?

Don't buy anything from them. I've ordered 3 of those clear lenses and every time I just got an empty box! :wink:

Whoa, Guys!!! :yell

Blinker fluid is a DEALER ONLY item. If you don't have the tools, do NOT attempt it.

They gave me the coupon price of $149! Don't waste your money on synthetic!

Make sure you keep this stuff away from pets. My dog licked some while I was checking my cross-valve lube in my headlight... the stupid thing wouldn't shut up for 500 miles.

be sure to change that blinker fluid in a well ventilated area, it's notorious for killing brain cells :shock:

Since I'm left handed, I found this helpful (http://kalecoauto.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=5&products_id=21) too.
Those boys at KaleCoAuto really have their thinking caps on!
