looks like we have a few new members who follow the sport so perhaps we bring back this annual thread? Looks like we missed a few years. I am pretty dang excited for COTA this weekend. I really want Rins to win it like he did last year - but Marc is going to be hard to beat now that he is...

I just noticed this: I do not see a way to change it and I have no idea why it says I am a Wizard.

To me the MT-10 is the third Generation of the FZ1, street fighter with a de-tuned R1 motor. Lego announced they are making a Technic version of it and it looks amazing.

Hi there, I moderate on mtbr.com and would be happy to help out a bit on this site if you need more mods. I am familiar with this forums reporting and moderation system.

Happened to me yesterday on my way to work on my FZ1. Never seen anything like this in my life. The thread looking stuff is the inside of the tire blown outward, this was after getting the tire off the bike: Video of the event:

This is a fairly new video by Arie at Revzilla and does a great job explaining the differences between Automotive Oil and Motorcycle Oil

I recorded this back in April, but finally had time to edit it and upload it to the toobs. This rider is the perfect example of why riders can be their own worst enemies. Not sure why he decided to flop over to the shoulder, rip on the gas and cut back into traffic.... I see this sort of...

Over the last year I noticed my rear brake was becoming "soft". what I mean by that is I had to push the brake pedal all the way down for full engagement. I thought maybe I needed to flush the fluid out, so I did that. I am pretty sure I bled all the air our of the bleed nipples, but the end...

This is a great article about an impressive achievement: https://www.thedrive.com/news/38035/russian-off-roaders-crossed-2000-miles-of-siberia-to-reach-one-of-the-most-isolated-cities-on-earth You may recall in the Awesome series "long way round", Ewan McGregor and Charlie Boorman road GS1300's...

I noticed a small leak that traced back to my thermostat housing and the seal between it and the plastic part the connects the radiator cap to the cooling system. I pulled it apart of the weekend and did not see anything glaring about it. I was surprized that it is just a rubber o-ring style...

If I recall correctly I had to pull my radiator off to get my plugs changed last time I did it. It is time again and I am considering just having the shop do it cause I recall it being a pain..... am I remembering this correctly? I just did the plugs on my V-Star and it was a 10 min job.....

So, with all the craziness this last year we forgot to start a 2020 MotoGP Discussion thread. Maybe we can get one going for 2021 and recap any thoughts we had on 2020? First, Marc Marquez. His need to win at all costs finally bit him, and it bit him hard. His display of ability to race...

Another forum where I am a moderator just changed over to the same platform at 998cc.org and because I moderator over there I have been digging in deeper to learn more about the software. The previous version of that other site (mtbr.com) had a reputation system that was important to a number of...

I noticed the site theme is set to "blue", would it be possible to enable the option for Dark Mode? I know this forum software will support it.

So I feel sorta dumb, but also not dumb. Lemme Explain. a month ago or so I noticed one of my tail lights was burnt out (not bad considering I have 120k miles on the bike) so I pulled it out and took it to my local shop. I handed the parts guy the bulb and asked for 2 new ones. He brought...

Hey everyone. i have owned my 2003 Gen 1 since 2012/2013 and with 120k miles one of the tail light bulbs just failed.... Pretty dang long life. I expect the other one is probably close to being done as well so I need to get some new ones. Visibility is very important to me since I daily commute...

Yes I know, replacement is the better option, but my grips are heated and cost $80 when I bought them on sale. I am not in the market to spend $100 installing new Heated Grips. The rubber is solid, just starting to get tacky, I am not sure if it is due to the heat cycles or age, but the left...

The 2019 Season is upon us! Round 1 was awesome to see a repeat of last year. Round 2 - holy cow, awesome to see Rossi back in top form and what in the world marquez was on fire, no one could touch him. I really want to see someone besides Marquez win in Austin, but the changes of that...

This is a great video linked in this article: https://jalopnik.com/dot-ratings-for-motorcycle-helmets-are-egregiously-outd-1823684018

Just a regular commute home and traffic is always slow in this spot due to the loss of a lane. When it slowed a lot up ahead I figured it was an accident and could see a man out of his car. Then I saw the Ford Escape, go up on 2 wheels and tip over. You can even hear the little SUV hitting the...
