    Put'r down :( - Need opinion

    Even if the insurance wants to total the bike out you can still keep it. What they will do is total it out and tell you how much you are going to get for it...don't let them low ball you cause they will try. Show them how much bikes like yours are going for in your area and that is the amount...

    Balancing a budget

    This method is really good. I do the same thing with just a few adjustments. I use a zero based budget. What that means is that when all is said and done I can account for all of the money I earn...this includes spending saving and paying bills. I learned this from Dave Ramsey. You can get...

    Throttle Signal Position

    Two options First, would be to use a transistor to control the circuit...this will not draw any power off of the originial circuit but will just act as your on off switch. When power engages through the throttle circuit it will tell the other circuit to run power as well. Now to get the...

    Attempted theft

    Ok so next time something goes wrong with my bike I will try the simplest thing to fix it. I finally got the new ignition in from the shop which cost me $160 bucks and I had already pulled the all the plastics off so I could get the the bolts and decided that I would try and see if I could get...

    Looking at a FZ6R tomorrow, need advice.

    I would check to see what regular maintenance has been performed on the bike. Make sure he has service records and find out where the work was completed at. Also find out what the next couple of maintenance needs are. Does it need a valve adjustment? Are there parts that are going to need to be...

    Sound when you turn the key to "on"?

    Actually if there is enough pressure in the lines the pump will not run. If you ever notice an extended start time then what you want to do is cycle the key on for 3 seconds then of then on again. Do this 3 or 4 times and see if the starting issue continues. If it is corrected then your fuel...

    Sound when you turn the key to "on"?

    It is your fuel pump priming. In all vehicles using an electric fuel pump it will run for roughly 3 seconds when you first cycle the key to ensure that there is enough pressure for the injectors to work. It is completely normal. Your car will do the same thing if it has an electric fuel pump...

    Attempted theft

    So someone tried to steal my bike a couple days ago. I had the bike parked in my carport next to my roommate's bike when it happened. They jammed something into the lock cylinder and tried to break it. All the did was screw that up and break the tip off of whatever they were using. Then they...

    Getting a handle on the throttle

    Break in time Another thing to factor in is how new your bike is. If you just rolled off the show room floor everything is going to be tight and brand new. Just like anything the throttle needs time to break in and smooth out.
