I just found out that a new law limiting lead content of products intended for use by children 12 and under is being applied by the CPSC to youth ATV's and Dirt Bikes resulting in them no longer being legal for sale. If you think this is a wrong application of a child safety law and want...

I finally did the dual headlight mod. Thanks to all prior poster's and Biker Dude for their insights. I think it came out very nice and clean looking. I did my mod where I have two high beams and two low beams. I was wondering if anyone has suggestions or method for focusing the beams? I...

My son bought his first motorcycle today. It is a UM V2S 250R that is 3 and 1/2 months old with 2,350 miles. It is really a sweet ride and a great beginner bike. I know some may say "What's a UM"? It's a Korean bike with a V twin motor. I checked it out and found that they are pretty...

I changed my brake fluid when I bought my bike cause it was brown not amber color. But because of the caliper design I know I did not get all the old fluid out of the calipers. So now five months later the fluid in the mastercylinder is brown again. So I figure I have to disassemble the...

If the USA members of this site have not contacted their Congressmen or Sentors regarding the current crisis please do so now, it is critical that they hear from everyone. I personally have contacted mine and told them "NO BAILOUT" for these bums who collectively paid themselves Billions of...

I changed my coolant back when I first bought my 06 to establish baseline for future maintenance. I used 50/50 distilled water and anti-freeze. I was in Cycle Gear the other day buying a new tire to replace my puncture rear tire and I noticed these other coolant additives that supposedly...

Yesterday I was driving home in my cage. Ya, I know it means it already did not start out as a good day, but I had to get to work and the weather was bad. Anyway, all of a sudden my eye catches something in the rearview and when I looked their was a sportbiker literally right on my right...

Just a quick note from my experience today changing my oil. NEVER-EVER put a bottle of oil on the garage floor without the cap on. Even for a minute because you will kick it over like I did.:eek: This isn't the first time but is for along time. This is my rule and as soon as I violated it...

Hello Fellow FZ'rs: I found this issue on the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) website. It appears that a loophole exists in the HIPAA where your health insurance company can legally deny you benefits if you are injured on your motorcycle? Ya, that's right, potentially you could...
