Very thorough how-to's - I found a nice how to page
I am sure most of you are aware of these basic how to techniques but I thought I would post this for those like me who are new to the sportbike http://www.motorcyclistonline.com/howto/
Thanks for the confidence boost. I just rode the bike its 55 degrees. It felt soooo good. I have only rode it about 6 times. Fun little thing. Have a happy new year everyone
Dude never let anyone put you down for driving a 250, although the acceleration is lacking, you couldnt ask for a better bike for just twistin around and having fun.
Hi, i'm in the process of buying a 1989 ninja 600. It has low miles and the owner said that it has been in the garage for awhile. He said that the only problem with the bike is that when you ride the bike, you have to ride it with the idle fast, meaning using the choke, he said that his friend told him, that this may be due to the carbs needing cleaning, does that sound right ? and how much do you think it will cost me to do that?
Would it be better to take my ZX10 to the dealer to have this service done? i don't really have anywhere to do all of this, or the tools. It seems expensive though. The dealer I bought from said $120 + parts...!!!
Does the bike have any mods to the exhaust, if it does, this is a classic symptom of someone who has modified the exhaust without adjusting the jetting. If the jetting isn't modified and the bike is ran at high speeds and the exhaust gets very hot the values will melt. Even if there isn't any mods, the fact that the bike must be ran with the choke is an indication that the carberator must be looked at-and for your wallets sake-before you ride it fast or long. Get it looked at.
Awesome site. The perfect site for those you like to stay up all night in our garages and take stuff apart...Thanx
