Hey guys -
Been down in Sydney for the last 5 months - loving it, great place to have a bike for sure. Had an 06 CRF450 Supermoto for a while, but it got stolen last month, which meant it was time to replace with something nicer.
I picked up my new ride on Friday with 8km on the clock. If...
Moving out of the country in two weeks and getting rid of the parts I've had lying around for the last few years. Everything is in great condition, and was pulled off either for a naked conversion or for upgrades.
Front fairings and headlight assembly - Red - $250 for all Will consider parting...
Hey guys,
My company may be sending me to our Sydney office for the next 2+ years, which is really awesome news. It's not official yet, so don't try and sell me your bike for gobs over the asking price just yet!
I've got a handful of questions related to riding and living - since those...
Nothing spices up a morning commute like some guy coming into your lane. Today that guy had a big set of antlers.
The Events:
35-40mph -
Deer jumps into my lane
Deer are big and solid and heavy
Kept the bike up
Pulled a U-Turn and laid down on the sidewalk
Deer collapsed in the median...
I know there are a ton of posts out there about various R6, R6S and R6R headers being fitted onto the FZ.
After hours of looking through the history for any sort of specifics and dimensions about which header each of you used, I've been unable to determine what the exact differences are...
Anyone else doing movember this year? My Mospace
For those who don't know, Movember is a charity that focuses on raising awareness for and combatting common mens health issues, this year it's expanded from prostate and testicular cancer to also include mental health issues, which I'm glad to...
Any of you guys race ChumpCar? (For those who don't know, it's a $500 car value endurance racing league.) My brother's been building his '88 E30 BMW for the last year and topped the podium in his second race in the car at MIS this past weekend.
The win was not without a fair amount of scary...
Finally looking to replace my mountain bike that was stolen years ago.
Requirements:
Mid-level components (derailleurs, forks, crank)
Mid-sized frame
Probably 26'' wheels (I prefer flickable things to rolling over everything, so the 29er craze hasn't caught me yet).
Disc brakes...
My friend is selling an 06 ZX10R for a great price (right around $5k), it has a full titanium akrapovic carbon exhaust, ohlins rear suspension, powercommander, speedo healer, scotts dampner and 15k miles. It looks great (aside from not being Kawasaki Green), and good god does it have power. It...
Yep - my FZ has some new features!
Now when I pull in the clutch, my neutral light goes on. It stays on when the clutch is out in Neutral, but yeah - it's a bit odd, rather annoying, and makes me glad I have a good feel for where neutral is on this bike.
Yes - washed my bike last...
Got a speeding ticket a month or so back in my car - I felt the circumstances around it (merge zone with a large truck in the way) made speeding more admissible, and the alternative - as my math would prove - showed that it was the safer option (enter roadway ahead of truck above speed limit, or...
Last night I spent three heavily interrupted hours putting my bike back together! It's all done, there's only a few bolts left over and they're all related to the damned under seat storage case, but it seems secure so I'm okay leaving it as is. Now the good part!
Sitting in my...
I've got a question - looking for someone who knows at least slightly more about servos than I do!
Application:
12V DC (my bike) (probably would need resistors or something to bring it down to 6v I'd assum)
I want a servo (or rotary solenoid/actuator) to run off of a 2 way switch that...
So - my subframe bolts (you know, those tricky torx ones) don't want to work with me and I'm worried I'll strip them out. (very shallow).
Two questions:
1 - any good tips on removing them (in rather cold weather) would be greatly appreciated
2 - Once I get them out, I'll probably swap...
So, just like everyone here, I hate spending 30-50 bucks per wheel having your tires swapped out.
My roommate and I have four bikes in our garage right now and are at the point where we've decided to buy/make a bead breaker and balancing stand. Looking at the breakers sold online (in the...
Yesterday I got a text from a friend I've been trying to get into riding, he found this baby an hour outside of the city, and when I realized it was an old Yamaha triple I couldn't contain myself. We went out there last night and put a deposit on it, knowing it would go fast - went back today...
