    I'm thinking of upgrading to a bigger bike. Help?

    The Kat is your absolute best choice here: excellent performance, good handling, a very comfortable commuter and light tourer. You've gained experience with the 250, you can handle this 600. The GS500 is a nice enough bike, but its size and performance are sufficiently close to the Ninja 250...

    2007 Suzuki 1250 Bandit Motorcycle. $7200 Canadian. Your opinion please. Is it a...

    That's a decent price for a 2007. Even though I usually advise people against buying someone else's mods, the mods on this one seem to be pretty reasonable. The big Bandit is a lovable brute of a bike. If you like it, then go for it.

    How do you charge the battery on a '93 Yamaha Seca motorcycle?

    The guy who told you the bike has no alternator is an ignorant. Keep him away from your friend's bike.The bike DOES have an alternator. It is housed behind the engine and above the gearbox in a cylindrical housing accessible on the left side of the bike. This housing has a cover with the word...

    Should I buy a Harley Fatboy or a Yamaha V Star?

    It's a choice between buying the original or the copy. Yamahas are fine bikes, but who would style their customs if HD wasn't around for them to copy ? And if you want to keep it forever, there is absolutely no question: you can still buy any part for any HD ever made. Try buying parts for a 15...

    1978 yamaha xs650 chopper motor?

    The XS650 has always been a favourite chopper engine, but if you must have a bigger motor, then the XS650 can be bored and stroked all the way to over 1000cc. That would solve your problem.

    Carbs work just fine. There's absolutely nothing wrong with a carburetted bike, especially one as good as the zzr.

    what is this bit of my bike and should it be all bent and twisted?

    IWhat the first answerer said: it's a lock washer. As for the noise: an o-ring chain is not noisier than a regular chain, but it is wider. If the clearance is really tight, it migh rubbing against the sprocket guard. It is also possible, though not very likely, that the chain is not to the...

    Suzuki Gladius/sv650 or Kawasaki ER-6N?

    There is no safety issue associated with either of these bikes. The main difference between them is that the ER-6 has a good engine and the Gladius has a GREAT engine. It is one of the all-time great motorcycle engines with both low-end torque and decent horsepower. There's nothing...

    2000 Yamaha R6 Have to Give Throttle To Start?

    With carburetors it is not unusual to have to prime them by twisting the throttle a couple of times before starting the engine. Also, with carburetors it is not unusual to have to give the engine some gas when starting. There is nothing wrong with this. It's unclear from your question, but you...

    Honda Rebel VS Nightwalk?

    First of all it's "Nighthawk". "Nightwalk" sounds like some kind of prostitute. Secondly, Nighthawks exist as 250, 450, 550, 650, 700, and 750 and Rebels exists as a 250 or 450. So which one are you talking about ? The 700 and 750 Nighthawks are probably not ideal for a beginner, but any of...

    Will a 99 pontiac Grand Am be considered as a Cash for Clunkers program?

    No. This program targets gas-guzzlers that average less than 18mpg. A 99 Grand Am does better than that.

    Will Ford Fiesta be offered with diesel engine in Canada?

    European countries have made diesel cars part of their strategy for meeting their engagement under the Tokyo accord. As such, diesel fuel is less heavily taxed then gasoline (except in the UK) as an incentive for consumers to use diesel and emissions standards are set with an eye to promoting...

    Similar bikes like the ducati hypermotard?

    All motard-styled bikes have very tall seat heights by definition as they are based on off-road models. The KTM Duke and Super Duke models aren't quite motard models, but they certainly have the right character and looks. Some alternatives: BMW G650X Country and R1200R, both availbale with a...

    Any one own or know alot about Suzuki's GSX650F?

    It weights 216kg dry, that means without oil and gas. That's only 8kg more than the radically sporty gsxr750, but the GSX650F is a much more comfortable bike and yes, it handles extremely well.
