When riding my bike last weekend I noticed handling was absolute crap. Wasn't sure why. So it hit me. I used to check my tire pressure regularly before each ride but started to get lazy and skipped it a couple times. Decided to check it just now, the front was at 23.5 psi, rear was 29...holy...

Put a deposit down today, picking her up next weekend! Got a great trade in value on my FZ, even though it was slightly dropped. I'll be nervous driving it home next week but I should be ok, they're installing a lowering link as well. '11 GSXR 600 ~5k miles Yoshimura CF exhaust

So apparently the previous owner of my bike installed her own flush mounts and now after taking them apart, i'm seeing custom wiring and plugs and unsure of how to install the protons. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance and sorry for the crappy pics...

And he's willing to sell it to me at a good price supposedly. It's a 2008 GSXR 750 with 2800 miles in sparkling graphite (dark grey) for $4500, which he claims is a good deal. It's got a slip-on exhaust on it right now. Two problems however. 1) it was dropped twice at a standstill, one...

I decided to go to a nearby motorcycle shop today which was having an open house as well as a dozen of apparel/part specials. After having to wait ~30 min. for the Alpinestar (A*) rep. to arrive, he was able to find me a pair of leather A* pants in his catalogue which would fit me well (I'm...

Check this video out...friggin' amazing. Good to know that the other dog was saved and is doing well, but sad that she is going to adoption :( The loyalty of a black Labrador retriever - YouTube Video shows dog braving traffic on Southern CA road to stay by fatally struck canine pal - The...

Some background - I received a ticket on 3/27/09 but was convicted in May of the same year resulting in two points on my license. My motorcycle insurance expired last week. If I wait until it has been 3 years or more since I last received any tickets with points, I qualify for the 25% safe...

Anyone playing this? Let's post up gamer tags and try to get a game going! I'm up for anything and everything! Gamer tag: Fzara

Im thinking about getting T-rex spool adapters: 09on TRex Yamaha FZ6R Spool Adapters No Modifica my only issue is being able to replace the black spools which come with the adapters, with red spools. A T-Rex representative said he could send me the red ones for free but I just want to...

I was looking at some track / cornering tips when I stumbled across a review for Suzuki's new GSR750 naked tourer. Has anyone heard of this bike? Looks like a good FZ8 competitor. http://m.motorcyclistonline.com/firstrides/122_1106_suzuki_gsr750_first_ride/index.html

I've been debating riding to work on my bike for months now (im ~25 miles each way) and packing my suit pants in a book bag and leaving the suit jacket at work the night before. Now, I work at a Bank and professionalism is key, but unless I'm going out to meet a client I don't see anything wrong...

If any of you haven't seen this, I recommend that you go out and buy this movie now! I bought it on iTunes and watched it coming home from Vegas. Almost brought a tear to my eye. Probably one of Mark Wahlberg's best movies IMO.

Anyone have this before? I'm debating whether I should send it into Microsoft for $100 (my xbox is out of warranty) or buy these cheesy repair guide kits online which promise full satisfaction. The only advantage to sending it into Microsoft is that I'll get a free prepaid label, 1 free month is...

Since I couldn't really sleep this morning, I woke up early (5am) and decided to go for a real quick ride at 6am when there was light outside before having to suit up for work. Decided to save a bunch of time so I skipped the jacket and boots and went out in a t-shirt, jeans, sneakers...

I was looking at my bike carefully today and even started her up considering I was in Boston last week and couldnt ride and have been sick ever since. A couple weeks ago I was doing an oil change but I messed with the kickstand sensor somehow and I had it towed to a local motorcycle shop, and...

I did a search on but couldn't find anything comprehensive. I'm thinking of doing a 6 hour trip to Montreal on my bike and possibly a friend on my back but not sure what the best solution would be to carry two duffle bags worth of clothes. I was thinking a tank bag and two bags to the left...

Did an oil change but I may have either over tightened the oil drain bolt and oil filter, and now the rear brake pedal is bent! Is there any other explanation for this? See pic below.

I went to a biker night/meet at hooters tonight, very good turnout with ~100 bikes throughout the night. As I was pulling out and rolling forward slowly from my parked spot (lots of bikes very very close to me) I see a bike coming to the left of me in the parking lot 10+ feet away behind a pack...

Since I'm still pretty inexperienced, is it bad/hurtful to my tranny to roll backward in first gear on uphills? I should be using my footbrake but instead I'm braking with the front and using the clutch and throttle to get me going when I accelerate.

So I was on the highway this afternoon, 70-80mph, and my head was getting thrown around in the wind, which was around 15-20mph, 56 degree weather in New Jersey. I have a Shoei full face rf-1100, a rear hump on my leather vented jacket, and a smoked (stock? I think) windscreen. I had to...
