I don't think it's the chain since I cleane and lubed it before recording this, I think its the brake but not 100% sure what to do. any help would be greatly appreciated
I should have got a painted chain..
As the title says... I bought through credit so i dont want to go through the refund process. This chain will fit my bike but since i already have it... can i just use a rattle can and coat it with paint or will i do harm to chain?
So I have a bike and need to make more power but can not just tune the bike electronically so I have a theory to have a pressurized system that injects fuel and air into the intake.
Is this possible?
With paperwork? I think I want a custom bike
Ok boys, chime in.
Do I get…
2025: RSV4 1100 Factory or S1000RR M package or Panigale V4 (can’t afford the V4S)
And why?
Hey guys. I got a 1997 honda bb 1100xx. The carb inlet boots are leaking. Anyone know if there are alternative ones that will fit? I'm in the UK, they are very rare boots. The 900rr are well priced and readily available. Thanks guys
Picked them up for 40 today. Just wondering how the break in feels.
I’m planning to buy this, it’s posted for a great price, so before buying I want to make sure it’s original and if you got any advice on what to check on this kind of second hand gear.
I am quite new to the community I live in London I wanted to find something like car meets for motorcycles I wanted to meet more people who share my interests its just I don't have a bike I can afford it on paper but insurance here is 3x the amount of the bike.

Early 90s Yamaha Seca is I saw at the grocery store today. Cold blooded but sounded nice once kid got it started. Hope they treat each other well.
I think I’m pretty set on the ninja 650, I found this one used at a Honda dealer. 2022 ,1400 miles. Asking 7500. Like is it just me or is that a rip off? I was gonna go back tmrw and see what price I can actually get it down to but I’m curious how much you guys this it’s worth. I asked the sales dude why it’s almost same as msrp and he said bc I won’t have to pay a destination charge lol. Has lots of paint scratches on gas tank. Completely stock. What kind of out the door number should I go for. And only reason I’m at a dealer is I’m a new rider and just makes me feel a bit more comfortable. I have enough to buy it outright, I’m thinking just “finance it” and pay it off in a week. Any help or suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!
Where to find rubber carb boot caps? I have a vacuum leak on the carb boot and on the rubber hoses and boot caps. The hoses that go to the air valve seem easier to source but i have no idea how to find the little nipples that cover the vacuum ports that arent hooked to the air valve system. My bike is a 1980 KZ550
So, to keep this short, I wanted to buy a motorcycle, but I'm under the legal age (21 in my country). The bike would have to be registered in my dad's name. He was against motorcycles, saying I'd get myself killed, and wouldn't let me buy a used one. Finally, I found a motorcycle riding school and, after some arguing, convinced him to take me. We signed up for the standard plan, which uses a 125cc bike (in my country, we can only ride bikes under 250cc for the first lesson). The first class covered clutch, brake, throttle, and gears while the bike was on a stand. I did so well that my coach was amazed and let me ride in the pit. My dad watched the whole time. I loved it! It was way better than driving a car; the adrenaline rush was incredible. Now my dad trusts me. On the way home, he admitted he didn't expect me to learn so quickly and joked that the training class backfired on his wallet because now he has to buy me a bike. Got 7 classes left
So, I want to become a motorcycle rider and I've been looking for a cheap new or used sport bike that I could buy as a starter. What exactly are the things I should be looking for? Again, I'm new, so I'm not familiar with a ton of terminology and specifics with the engines and parts and stuff, but I'm looking to learn.
I found a bike that's $3000 for a brand new one and looks super sick, but I'm not sure how good it would be as a starter, and I also dont know if that's a fair price or if it's too good to be true? Its 250cc and has an automatic transmission. I can provide the link if you want.
Had a local shop hook up some Denali D7 pros with a DialDim. I don’t think they gave the wire (which provides signals to the high beams) enough slack and it went kaput. Any tips on how to reattach? Seems relatively straightforward, but figured I’d ask before taking a crack.
Hey guys,
I have a question. If had to choose between an R NineT Scrambler from 2019 in second hand with less than 12 000 miles and a brand new Triumph Scrambler 900, which one would you chose and why?
Thanks in advance
I have a 06 CBR that is not priming after putting on the rear fairing. Doesn’t seem like I’ve knocked anything loose, but I just need some tips on what it might be.
I have a video but obviously cannot post.
Recently my gas tank has started leaked very slowly out of the fuel gage wire passthrough (not sure what the proper name is) on the rear of the gas tank. I got a new gasket, but it just leaks out of the center, so the gasket didn't fix the issue. For those familiar with the ninja 250, you know there is a little tray that clips on to the bottom of this fuel gage unit connected to a tube that runs to the carburetor. I believe this is a vent hose for the carburetor. My question is, if gas leaks into the hose, will it go down into the bowls? Where does this vent lead within the carb? It leaks maybe a drop every 5 minutes at most, I'm going to fix it eventually, but I would like to know how emergent it is. Any advice is appreciated. I ride this bike every day, so a leak that is that slow is not emergent to my as it wouldn't even overflow by the time I rode the bike again, but if there is the possibility of fuel getting into the cylinder I will be fixing it immediately.
