Hello guys, just wondering if anyone has had this issue, everything is working well on my bike but a while ago the license plate light went out, I ordered a new on and it's in the mail so I don't know if it's the light or something else. Recently though, my high beam and my horn went at the...
Hello guys, I tried searching for this but couldn't find anything. Any help is much appreciated. I tried starting the bike, didn't start. Starter works, can hear the fuel pump going, but it wouldn't start. Then after a few tries it started briefly. I received an error 19 code and it hasn't...
So what's the deal with quite a few of you fellows switching out the forks for the r1 ones? Are they shorter thus giving you a more aggressive position?
To change a tire. Do you guys have special tools you guys like? Certain magical tire irons perhaps? Just changed my tire and man just the removing of the tire from the rim was a nightmare, there's got to be an easier way! Saw the videos on youtube but still, it seems as though the damn tires...
My new tire is in the freaking mail, it's gorgeous here and I just can’t wait to ride so I will repair the tire myself. Now, I do have a question for you guys. Why is it that I read everywhere “plug/patch” Is it a plug and a patch that I should perform? Should I remove the tire, plug it like...
So I'm in search of the perfect tire iron. I have tried the rim protectors only to see them disintegrate on me to find scratches on my rim :mad: So has any of you tried these? They look interesting and since they're plastic, I'm thinking they shouldn't damage the rims.

So for the second time, I go to fill up grab the hose and give my bike a gas bath. Man that is just so freaking frustrating, I keep forgetting that yes there might be some gas just waiting to pour out of the hose. Luckly it just drains right off and not into the seat etc but still frustrating :)
So now I'm bummed about my tire and the freaking screw that got in there. I'm wondering though, what you guys think. I am thinking of spending the extra 32 bucks and buying the PR3 but I feel as though I'd be doing a disservice to the Conti's that I was going to review with regards to mileage...
So I'm sitting at our meeting spot where I and 2 others will go for a really nice Friday 2 hour run. I hear this little hiss and think "hm, I've never heard that before" I was thinking that perhaps it was noises from cooling off or something. Put the bike on the center stand and check my 10...
without the wife finding out...
So let's have it guys come on, do enlighten me in the art of spending money on the bike without the Mrs. finding out, how do I embezzle some dough? A penny at a time is going to take way too long for my shock!:sinister:
Hey fellows. So let me give you guys a bit of background. When I first bought my bike I did an oil change. I always check the oil pan and am very careful not to just pour out the old oil without scrutinizing it first. What I found were small particles of metal definitely showing engine wear...
Check this thing out. Anyone using it? I wonder how it works...

So after 5 months of ridding (yes, that is all) I am getting a bit frustrated with my bike now, I think that it is what you guys call the lack of torque in the midrange. So, I'm starting to think about doing the fly mod. Really what I'm wondering is why it is that when I'm at 70 or 80 and I...
SO, I've been looking at what some people have done on here with regards to powder coating etc. and I'm wondering about something. I was thinking what would be something durable (scratch resistant if not proof) I could use on my bike and I came up with Rhinolining. Do you guys think that would...
Hey fellows, just a quick question. SO I'm getting ready to purchase a new rear tire (Conti Road attack II) and it really is the first time I take a look at what I had.

Now, the manual says use 180/55 Here is the question. I have never ridden with sock tires so I do not...
