does lowering the front with out using clip-ons improve the turn in? or is the more aggressive position that the clip-ons offer what is improving the turn in. and once lowered, is the bike still stable for flat slab cruising? .
Nice start!
So for anyone that wants to play, your goal is to get any kind of boat in the frame. It doesn't have to be a battle ship. and according to the tag it doesn't even have to be in water "A bike and a boat"
Hey all,
On another forum that I visit they play " The riding game". Basically its an excuse to take you bike out some where off your normal route in search of a specific object or destination. Ill quote the rules
I have found covered bridges, water mills, water towers, state parks...
not so much what I did " to" my bike but rather what I did " with" my bike...
commuted to work today. put some miles on it for the first time in what feels like for ever. The weather has been so spotty here that I don't want to risk driving home with a suit on in the raid. I think an...
I was able to get everything back once I popped the back seat off. . the pouch is tied off and strapped down this time. nothing loose! I set my seat to the low position to try it out for a bit so I wouldn't be able to take the seat off that way again if I wanted to.
so I solved the problem...
Short version : the tool pouch opened up and the screwdriver fell forward and lodged in-between the mechanism . ITs fixed!
Long version: First bolts I removed were 31 from the seat parts page and 16 from the tank page. that gave me clearance to access to the...
check to see if they have any motocross race tracks in the area. find the person / persons in charge and talk to them. more often than not they will have extra bikes at race / practice days that you may be able to rent. also check out mini-moto tracks too with a similar aim
I went to go race in a mini motor league for a day . stock XR 100 class with street tires. you can only lean so much before you are just grinding your pegs to nothing. I learned so much about body positioning that day . by the end I was taking turns much faster than when I started and had less...
gotta send the horn idea. Those drivers didn't respond to the revving at all. the white bmw kept creeping out as you approached and revved. lots of close calls.
I was thinking 26 because that's what's connecting 21 to the seat its self. I guess I don't need the seat off before I would take it to the dealer anyway( I was just looking to add a battery tender USB charger)
probably going to call the dealer at this point unless I can find a better diagram of the locking mechanism. from the right side of the bike I can see the metal "loop" thats from the passenger seat and when I turn the key I see the latch but it looks like it keeps getting stuck on something. I...
Hey all. I have a brand new '13 fz06 thats got a little over 300 miles on it. I went to go take the seat off to put it back to the low setting and measure to see how much cable I would need to install a USB charger but the passenger seat wouldn't budge! Ive taken it off plenty of times before so...
