ideas[0] = "<b>Get Some Fresh Air!</b><p>One of the most commonly overlooked items is the air filter. A clean air filter ensures that the engine is getting the proper amount of air to run efficiently. A dirty air filter can cause high fuel consumption and foul spark plugs. Motorcycles use three different types of air filters: paper, foam and gauze.<p>Bring your bike by our store and we'll be sure you get the correct replacement.";
ideas[1] = "<b>Add Some Spark!</b><p>Looking at a spark plug tip is a good indication of what's happening inside an engine. A black plug means the engine is running rich and is getting more fuel than air. This could be caused by a dirty air filter or too much oil on the air filter. A white spark plug indicates a lean condition meaning that the bike is getting more air than fuel. This could be caused by a hole in the air filter. A spark plug that is brown in color indicates a good running condition. Using the proper gap is important when installing new spark plugs. Always follow the manufacturers specs for the proper gap.<p>Bring your bike in and our service department can replace your spark plugs in a snap. ";
ideas[2] = "<b>Be Safe On Your ATV</b><p>Today's modern ATV can provide a very comfortable ride and give you a false sense of security. Whenever you ride an ATV, there is gear you should always wear. You don't have to dress like you're in a race, but certain things will keep you safe. Always wear sturdy over the ankle boots, a pair of rugged jeans, a long sleeve shirt made from heavy material, a high quality helmet goes without saying, it's better to wear goggles - not sunglasses and a pair of heavy gloves will prevent a lot of scrapes and scratches.<p>We carry a full line of helmets and apparel that will keep you safe. ";
ideas[3] = "<b>Did You Forget?</b><p>Two of the most neglected fluids in motorcycles today are the hydraulic brake and clutch fluids. They should be changed every two years, regardless of mileage, because they collect moisture. The fluids that should be checked and changed regularly include: engine oil, differential fluid, hydraulic brake fluid, clutch fluid, and coolant if used. Don't forget to always replace the oil filter when changing your oil. <p>Our service department can save you the hassle and change fluids for you. ";
ideas[4] = "<b>Not On My Baby!</b><p>Common household cleaners, such as Windex, 409, Glass Plus, Soft Scrub and dishwashing soap, are great for cleaning around the house but aren't so good for cleaning your bike. Windex contains ammonia which will etch chrome. Lemon dishwashing soap contains citric acid which promotes rust. Soft Scrub contains fine abrasives which can scratch paint and finishes. A low cost cleaner alternative that can be found in any grocery store is children's soap, which contains no harsh additives. <p>If you really want your ride to look spectacular, get cleaners and polishes specifically formulated for the plastic, paint and chrome finishes of today's bikes.";
ideas[5] = "<b>Got Brakes?</b><p>Here are a few quick brake inspections you can do yourself. Inspect your brake pads often to see if they are wearing thin. You can usually see them with a flashlight without taking the calipers off the bike. If your bike starts shaking while braking or you can feel your brake lever pump when applying brakes, you may have warped discs. If your wheels don't spin easily when you push your bike, the brakes may be dragging. Dragging brakes will wear out pads or overheat the rotors. The fluids of the brake system must be clear, not muddy. If adding brake fluid, don't mix DOT types. They are not all compatible. <p>If you find problems with your brake system, contact our service department for necessary repairs.";
ideas[6] = "<b>Three Quick Checks</b><p>Your battery fluid level should be between the top and bottom fill lines on the front of the battery. If necessary, you can adjust this level by adding distilled water only. Never add battery acid to a serviced battery. Check front fork seals for leakage by looking for a black ring of oil on your fork tube. Other than causing poor handling, leaking fork oil can spray onto brake components. A properly adjusted chain should move up and down approximately one inch, measured while you are sitting on the bike. Too tight of a chain can cause problems with your transmission and wear out the chain and sprockets. Lube the chain every 200-300 miles using chain lube for maximum chain life. <p>Our service department can perform a complete safety check on your bike and make necessary adjustments.";
ideas[7] = "<b>Riding On The Edge?</b><p>When a tire becomes worn, it can be dangerous. Here are some indications a tire needs to be replaced. Any dry rotting on the sidewalls is a good reason to replace a tire. Holes or gashes in a tire, even though tire pressure isn't effected, are an accident waiting to happen. Most manufacturers have a minimum of tread depth that needs to be met in order for the tire to be safe. You can determine this by looking at the tread wear indicator. Arrows on the tire sidewalls show the location of the tread wear indicator. If the tread wears down and becomes flush with the tire wear indicator, it's time for a new tire. Tire pressure is another important item to watch. Always check the pressure while the tire is cold and follow the tire manufacture's specification for pressure. <p>Our staff can help you select the replacement tire that's right for your bike.
