Trying to remove the swingarm pivot bolt. Using an extension, I started hammering, which was sliding the bolt out. But now, the tool is wedged between the bolt and the frame. So everything is stuck.

hello everyone!

i was hoping to get some tips from short riders & passing mod 1/2. i'm 5ft and ride a grom. i'm hoping to do my mod 1 soon but i'm extremely nervous due to my height. i tried riding my bfs mt07 but i am right on my tippytoes and i'm super worried about stopping on hills and stopping with bumps on the road etc. i'm also not very strong! if any short riders could give me some tips on how they passed their tests that would be amazing as atm i feel like i've got no hope but i'm ITCHING to get off my grom 😭

Just wondering if anyone knows weather a 2000 Suzuki gsx750f katana stores the miles in the gauge cluster or on the bikes ecu?

i’m swapping clusters cause the one i have it wrecked and would like to know if it’s gonna be my bikes miles or a different bikes. it’s a digital odometer so im not sure.

thanks

I tried searching this but got nothing more than "what's faster" but that is not my question. What is the difference in feeling/sensations in acceleration between a bike and a car?

I got the pleasure of driving a Tesla model s plaid and the feeling of wide open throttle was literally breathtaking. It almost hurt my insides. I was pushed back into the seat, it felt like all my insides were thrown to the back of my torso and my mind kind of froze for a second going what the hell was that?

I've never ridden a motorbike but I will get one next year, and I'm having a hard time trying to translate that experience to a bike. Are you just holding on to the handlebars for dear life?

Currently I got 132k miles on it, I heard from the previous owner said that at 200k the drive shaft need to be replaced piston rings need to be checked. He change oil every 6000 miles

Just wondering cuz I’m looking for a long road trip on it to Alaska next summer and I don’t want it to break down

So I got insurance quotes for two specific bikes of interest I'm just using them for commuting, since it would take me like an hour to get to work on bus when it's a 15 min drive. Also for other stuff.

The first bike is the 2019 CB300R I got a quote on that one for $401 for liability insurane and the bike itself used is around between 3.5-4.2k as well.

The second bike is the 2024/2023 Honda Grom and I got a quote on that one for $389 for libility + comprehensive because it's so small it's probably going to be stolen. The bike itself new is 4k but I would probably look for a used option.

I only have my M1 rn so there is that and I'm 5'7 so I think these bikes would work for me.

I could probably get both bikes for a lot cheaper but like that's what I've seen so farrr

I bought an HJC i-10 the day I brought my first bike home, and it’s been great. Fit, comfort, feel, features, everything. But it’s loud as hell. Yes I wear earplugs so it’s not dangerous levels but it’s still annoying and drowns out music.

Budget is flexible but It’d be best to stay under $450, Carbon is a plus

Recently bought this bike with hid conversion ballast bulbs the high beam went out but have no idea how to get to the bulb, any help?

I got pulled over and was told I only have a permit and can't drive off. I took the motorcycle test and passed and received a learner permit with a class m on it I thought I was clear to ride am I in the wrong?

It’s time for my 600 mile maintenance (a few hundred miles over tbh) and I plan to do this myself to gain the experience. I have the oil, chain lube, degreaser, and an oil filter.

I’m unsure on if the oil filter I have is compatible. I went to ORileys and their system only has the mt-07 compatibility search up until the 2022 model. I went with the K&N 204-1 as it’s compatible with the 2022 model and I’d assume the 2024 model. But I don’t want to absolutely fuck up the threads in my bike over an assumption and I can’t seem to find anything online.

Anyone happen to know if the KN-204-1 is compatible for the 2024 model?

Should I wait for Black Friday/Christmas to get gear or do they not usually have discounts? Not in a rush to buy right now but when would be the best time?

I am gonna drive on it for 17 miles to the shop tho 😬

What are your thoughts on MT Jarama vs HJC C10? Which is better or are they equal? I plan to replace my current helmet which I find inconvenient at times especially when it rains. Keeps me cool on hot days tho but then rips my ears with wind noise once I hit 60 KMPH.

Right now I lean more towards the MT Jarama for that classic look since I own a cafe racer.

What is the problem with the new motorcycle videos on YouTube?

I am waiting for the presentation of a new motorcycle, which should take place any moment, and that's why I check YouTube almost every day.

And almost every day I find countless new stupid AI videos with nothing but fake news. What is this new trend all about?

I was wondering if there is a bike which is very known to be reliable, tough, used in a variety of environments, a bit like the aforementioned truck (although less likely to be paramilitary with a machine gun mounted on the back)

Context I was looking at a more standard starting bike like the ninja 400 but I saw someone ride by on the KTM 990… I love that bike now but it’s wayyy bigger than a ninja 400. Is it a really bad idea to start on a 1000cc bike or can I get away with it after some practice.

Also the KTM 990 I was talking about if anyone doesn’t know it

I’ve been debating about some better lower extremity protection for rides to/from work. I have some bullit jeans with level 1 knee/hip protection, but they aren’t particularly comfortable. Also, I have to plan out work pants in the office, get down to undies, etc to change, so I only wear those jeans on casual rides… it’s one thing to hang up my jacket, airbag and helmet, but I can just wear my work shirt under my gear and don’t have to bring a change of clothes. I’ve been thinking about some over the pants protection but am not sure I really want to spend the couple hundred today for a decent pair of pants (I will at some point but recently bought a new jacket and gloves). That in mind, it would be nice to have some rain protection and a little more warmth for those morning commutes in the 50’s. Also looked at the Revit Dean pants but I’m not sure how well those will look in the office with the knee pads and all. I’ve been thinking about getting some knee/shin pads to get that extra protection. They look like they could fit over my work pants and offer that extra layer of leg protection and potentially a little extra wind protection. Would the knee pads be a viable option, or is it better to just invest in a nice set of over pants or adv pants and change in the office?

I ride a desert X and have some highway commuting to work. Otherwise, live in the country with mostly twisties and 45-55mph speed limits. Do some light trails, but plan to do more.

Three years ago I sold my Yamaha Stryker 1300 for tuition thinking I’ll just get another when I graduate college. I didn’t realize at the time that they stopped making them. It’s my favorite bike I’ve ever rode and now I want it back but I can’t find any that aren’t super old/ridden to death. Is there a new bike model out there that has the same look/feel as the Stryker? Doesn’t have to be Yamaha. I’d really prefer to stay in the 1300 cc range.
