I'm in Canada, 8 year old son is playing little league ball. It's his first year of baseball so he's still learning how to throw and the rules of the game.

I'm looking for a bat. From what I've read, he needs a 26" and perhaps between a 2.25" and 2.75" diameter.

They are using a machine to pitch (at 37 mph) and using Little League #5 balls which are about at hard as a real baseball from what I can tell.

Does anyone have any suggestions on a brand/model of bat that isn't $200? Most of the ones I see are in that price range. I see Tee ball bats for less money but I suspect they could get dents from a hard baseball.

Thanks James

2014 V7 i oil change tomorrow. Owners manual suggests 12nm (8.8 lb ft) for the 2 oil drain plugs (even though they are not the same size) and no specs for the oil filter cover screw.

The engine service manual suggests is should be 40nm for the oil drain plug.

40nm seems very high to me.

is 12nm the right spec for the front and rear drain plug? Any thoughts on the filter cover spec?

We know the V7-I generation had crappy spark plug caps that would loosen very easily and cause ignition issues.

Looks like the replacement wires are expensive from Moto Guzzi and not that easy to find.

Has anyone made their own spark plug wires/caps ? If so, which caps did you use as it looks like the NGK parts are not easy to find.
