Norcal Boy, thanks for the idea. I didn't see your post before my last one. That's what I should have done, I guess. I bought the CBR used, and...
Hi, thanks for the input. I think you may assume I only care about straight line comfort. I'm specifically concerned about the twisties, though....
Thanks! Yeah, I WANT to feel the higher center of gravity. I think that's why my VFR's felt like they drop into corners rather than just...
The 3rd gen was my first big motorcycle, after previous experience with smaller 2 wheeled vehicles and motorcycles. It took me several months to...
I was just hitting 70 on an on-ramp when I hit a mean crosswind. I had previously wired and epoxied a large crack in my left fairing about a year...
I've done it twice. I used shipping masters both times. They don't even ship bikes. They just give you a list of shippers, with details about...
Not for everyone! Every passenger car I've owned and maintained has taken more or less 3.5-3.75 quarts of oil. First time I changed the oil on my...
Interesting how many people go clutchless except for 1st to 2nd. I rarely do it, but when I do, it's often for upshift to 2nd when I'm flogging it...
Well, I must be the biggest dumbass. Cuz I actually have a $150.00 master link installation tool, but I installed a cheap-o clip-on chain I bought...
A fair number of machine shops should be able to straighten fork tubes (as long as there are no creases). It's not something that only a bike...
Yeah, I always figured chain lube was more for preventing cosmetic rust on the outside of the links, than anything else. And I'm getting mad...
Back pain is a bad thing. My left shoulder is starting to hurt about a year and a half after my accident, just a couple months after my...
Well, normally I agree that horsing around is dumb. But part of me thinks I don't really know how to stop my bike unless I can comfortably do (or...
Mine is also intermittently dropping down to "12V+change" at idle. But if I twist the throttle obnoxiously a few times, it sometimes kicks back...
Grats on the bike. That's a beauty. Now where can I get those decals? Those look so much better than the purple crap on the US '92 in black.
^^ yeah, that's one of the things I have experienced. But the aluminum nub on the lever can and will wear down, too. I had an immediate (but...
If glazed rotors are really the problem, then some light sanding should fix it. But just because they're blue doesn't mean they're glazed. Glazed...
I'm also not convinced it's just the battery. You rode many miles to the gas station. You emptied the tank, so it wasn't a 2 minute trip. So there...
I'll probably get flamed for this... On long rides, I'll take off a heavy backpack and set it on the tank. It makes a comfy place to rest your...
Mine are "Pyramid Parts" off Ebay. (Hangs head in shame). They're dirt cheap, and I get plenty of stopping power. I also bought a brand new R/R...
