I saw this video on Instagram and the crash was completely caused by her own stupid mistake. Yet somehow a bunch of people on her profile are blaming the car instead of admitting what actually happened.
She then restricted the comments so only positive comments are allowed, basically shutting down anyone who points out her mistake.
This is exactly the kind of attitude that has no place on a motorcycle. If you can’t take responsibility for your own mistakes, learn from them, and accept criticism, you have no business riding.
People like this should never own a motorcycle.

You can ride perfectly and still get hit by someone staring at their phone. Watch your mirrors and always leave yourself an escape path. Stay safe out there.

Found in yamaha CCU firmware code 😂

I mean... If it works for you, Yamaha...

Just sharing a quick shot of my Honda RVF400 here in Korea. Nice to meet you

Finally finished this scrambler build, AI used for colour enhancement, picture is original, taken in Bol, Brač, Croatia.

my boss is selling me a 2005 Suzuki GXSR 1000 with 10,480 miles for 6k. He does maintenance even without riding. I feel like it’s a good deal but I’ve only ridden 300cc bikes would it be a dumb choice to make?

2005 Kawasaki Vulcan 1600 classic.

I got a 2012 fz6r as my first bike and need some advice about the condition of the sprockets. The bike has 18000 miles on it. I was told it sat for a year before being sold. When I got it. I changed the oil, flushed the coolant, new brake pads and brake fluid flush, new battery, new spark plugs, cleaned the after market filler that was in the air box and cleaned and lined the chain. The chain was rusted and super dirty. It definitely needs replacing but I’m not sure if it is just from sitting. The chain is did x ring chain so it’s not the stock chain idk about the sprockets. Do these look like they need to be replaced.

So I grew up on dirt bikes, had my first 700cc Sport bike at 17 ripping around Los Angeles traffic, rode more dirt bikes, and eventually built a Custom Harley in my late 20s riding around Boston. Then I sold everything, went back to school got married, had kids, kids are now older. No bikes for 25 years.

I’ve never had a motorcycle endorsement so for giggles I just took the MSF course as a bucket list item and aced it so I did the next natural thing.

I’m picking up new Sportster S that is 900 miles away. I can have it shipped or for the same cash as shipping, ride it home over the course of 2-3 days. Am I crazy?

I’m honestly a little nervous about rigs on two lane highways now but probably just because it’s been years since I’ve done it. My route is very site seeing friendly with options to jump on state highways if i wanted or avoid them with near paralleling routes for large portions.

Should i just have it shipped and get re acquainted with motorcycles and a new bike at a easy pace or rip it off and go all easy rider with nothing but a set of racing leathers a helmet and a backpack for 2-3 days?

Oh, and I’ve never ridden a Sportster S so I have no idea how taxing a day on it will be.

Thoughts?

Got offered a 2009 GS500 as a trade on FBM for a $700 PC I was selling. Has 13k miles, clean title and matching VIN. I have some small engine experiance (I own a 1998 Seadoo SPX jetski, been working on that with a friend helping me), and have basic tools (a good socket set, and hand tools like pliers, vice grips, some box wrenches, plastic razors, etc). I could borrow a more powerful tool from a friend if I really need to, or buy it myself.

Some info he sent me: The previous owner more than likely has dropped it as a scratches on both sides, the carbs would have to be synced, and it would need a new rear tire, I plan on doing both, but I’m really either trying to get a PC or a different bike. The bars are good, I'm the one who put them on, and it does not steer uneven.

I asked about the carb sync and he said "you can hear it", and "Idles smooth and and there isn’t too much vibration besides the type you get from having a combustion engine between your legs, but nothing excessive". Based on a quick search it does not seem hard to do a carb sync, but it is possible the carbs need to be rebuilt/cleaned."

I attached one video of the bike running, will comment with some photos, and will update when he sends over the close ups of the "scratches on both sides".

I'm mainly wondering about value, can i rip it around for a bit, then sell in the spring/summer for $1000+? What would be the value on it? How much $$ do you think I'd have to put into it? Id have to bring it to a shop for the tire to be installed and balanced.

Thanks so much in advance.

The exhaust note of the RVF400 is absolutely amazing 🙂‍↕️🙂‍↕️

Absolutely Terrible company to deal with. I spent $740 on products that showed they were in stock. Website states 1-7 buisness days to ship, they offer the fastest shipping times. I reached out via email several times and was told on two seperate occasions My order would be shipping within the next few days. It never did. A MONTH later I get a call saying they thought my order was a previous order and they were shipping it out but it wasnt a previous order....etc. Thats not my issue. They then proceed to tell me they dont have the cage in stock but have the subcage and will send that out but I will have to pay another 30 dollars to have the rest shipped. An american company at that. Will never do buisness with Impaktech again. Or try I should say

Just looking for some advice on this specific bike.

Just cross posting here in case y’all have any ideas.

I know they are very different bikes, but the price points are close enough for me to consider the comparison. I've had a KLX250 dual sport which I loved, my only complaint was a lack of power. I also owned a hoopty CBR600 which I wasn't a fan of, I hate the sport bike position and didn't like the weight or sharp headtube angle. I love the standard riding position, and only plan on riding a short suburban commute to work and riding to family's house 45 minutes away taking backroads only. I may want to add a rack for small packages, but that's it. No mods planned, I just want a cheap reliable bike that handles great and will be a little fun on country backroads. I know I love the dual sport/super moto's, but I have also been curious about the SV650 for years. Please share your opinion, especially from those that have had/ridden both.

Anyone who can help me wire this up gets bonus points in the next life, but also need to know if it should be installed before or after the oil cooler? also installing an inline oil filter and basically need to know best way to assemble it all.

Hi everyone

After changing the chain and both sprockets, I started noticing this noise coming from what sounds like the transmission/front sprocket area.

It happens when accelerating or decelerating. The bike was not making this noise before the chain and sprocket replacement. The front sprocket has a rubber noise reduction.

So far, I have checked:

* Chain slack — tested both ends of the manufacturer’s recommended range (2.5–3.5 cm)

* Rear wheel alignment

* Chain guide looks ok

* Chain lubrication done

* Torque specifications for all relevant bolts/nuts, including both sprockets

What else should I check?

Has anyone had the same problem? Any ideas would be appreciated!
