I have a rear stand. That shouldn't be a problem. I've just not worked on the bike quite like this before though. I changed the stock horn to something that is a little louder. I was barely getting notice from cagers on the road with the stock horn.

Not yet. I'm not sure what I need or how to do it :D. I just installed a replacement electric horn for the bike to make it safer. I haven't made any time to look into the forks.

I really do like what the R3 has to offer, but I figured if I were to change bikes I might as well go with something that has ABS. As I said in my post above this one, I have been riding more frequently since the weather has gotten nicer. I do enjoy the stability it offers. However, I can't...

What are you even talking about? How can you possibly make an assumption like that? I haven't even replied for 5 days now. I asked one follow up question. How exactly am I dragging this topic out for my entertainment? I was giving you direct answers to your questions of me as well as the others...

How do I raise the forks? Wouldn't raising the forks make the bike even more upright?

It's not just turn in. It's just overall manipulation of the bike. I feel like I'm just a tad small for this bike, or maybe it's my overall strength. I'm not sure. Either way, I'm not comfortable.

I don't believe I can manipulate the bike easily/fast enough. Either at highway speeds or in the city.

I've been tossing the idea around to either get a dual sport or a smaller street bike. I believe I still want to stay with a street bike. I have an inclination that something smaller or rather that is lighter would be better suited for me. My guess was that I'd become a better rider if I could...

The Ninja 650 looks like a wonderful bike. It's slightly out of budget right now though! It might have to be something I save for.

Hey all, I was just testing the waters out. I've been riding my bike for about 3 years. I've only put about 3k miles on her. I've been contemplating getting a CBR250 or 500. It's not that I want more power, but I think a slightly lighter bike would give me some added confidence. I am sort of a...

Bump! I'd be willing to trade for a perforated one as well :).

Hey all, I'm wanting to sell my like new Dainese Racing C2 jacket. (The D1 is the newer version) It's a size 44 and it is in the color scheme black / white / red. It's only been worn about several times. It's in immaculate shape. I thought I was going to be able to use it in the cold, but I...

No longer available.

I've let friends and even the Yamaha dealer ride the bike. Nothing is wrong with it. It's just a sensation I get when I lean too hard. If I push the bars too far to one side I'm sure gravity will take over and it'll just fall over. That's basically the feeling I get when I'm already in a lean...

sold!!!!!!!!!!!
