I noticed this hole when I got to work in the morning. It lets out enough air that I can hear it when I try to inflate the tire. What are my options here, aside from buying and mounting a new tire? Is this fixable with liquid sealant? A rubber rope kit?...
I have to head to work at 3:30 in the morning. Anybody have any thoughts about how to make my bike quieter on start up and fast idle? It’s a KLR 650 with an aftermarket muffler. It’s not straight pipe loud, but a thumper is going to thump....
The clutch on my bike has been feeling rather tight. I did some searches for mechanic tutorials and found one that suggested loosening a nut near the handle bars. That did work for a bit but seems to tighten up after a while....
I was looking around for some GPS equipment for my motorcycle and came across some dirt cheap (in comparison) cycling computers with GPS tracking. This got me wondering, has anyone tried it? Since I don’t need nor want all that fancy stuff like tracking, consumption, points of interest, etc, and just want a map, a route and...
I bought a 1969ish Yamaha L5T a year ago. It hasn’t run in over ten years probably much more than that. Life, work, depression, and my other motorcycles have gotten in the way of me spending much time with it. I always knew it would run but it is so nice to hear it. I have a good bit more work to do on it but now I know it’s...
Did some dirt road riding. It was more of a set of tracks next to a field to be honest. It’s sooo hard to take it easy, since it’s still in the breaking in period, but I’m careful. Only ridden like 400km since I brought it home, due to the weather. Ain’t she perdy? 😃...
Over the past couple months I’ve had the pleasure to help develop and iterate this bike. 3 swingarms, 3 subframes, 2 forks & leading links, 2 seats, and a few different shock lengths to get to this point. It’s going on a 1000 mile journey this weekend to check suspension geometry and highway cruising behavior. Hopefully only...
So on my ride home today I’m in the left lane in moderate traffic on a 40mph 4-lane road with a center turn lane. As usual I’m trying to stay just left of the SUV in front of me so I can see the traffic ahead and give myself an escape route in case someone comes flying up from behind. The SUV however, I’m assuming thought...
What a way to start the day. Had a spare, so it added a few minutes to my morning. Carefully cleaned the dust from around the plug, swapped, started and rode....
New rider looking for an entry level dual sport. XR 150 seems perfect. I knew it would cost more to have a new bike but an extra $900 in delivery/setup? Ive got no intention of paying. Im just bitchin. See what yall think?
Rode my brand new Moto Guzzi V85TT Travel '22 home from the dealer yesterday. It was around 0°C. I’m very glad my new bike has heated grips 😃. The visor got so cold that my breath caused perspiration on the pinlock. But now it’s home, finally! Bought it in November.
So it looks like I get to go watch the TT this year. Something that I never actually expected to happen. I just found out I would have the time off a week ago so I am a little worried I might be late in finding camping and what not. Has anyone gone who can give me some advice?
Hi guys! I’ve been a kinda long term user of Freedconn camera/bluetooth/intercom combos, and I’ve been more or less happy with them. I’ve had up until now the more basic R1, then upgraded to two R1-Plus for me and my partner. These have been working very reliably for the last few years, but the weather hasn’t been kind...
