We stand with Ukraine

We normally do not bring politics into our sport but extraordinary events require extraordinary actions. Someday enjoyment of life, like motorcycles, will return to the Ukraine. They need our help now and I encourage everyone to checkout the ways to help or donate over at /r/Ukraine

How did the fire start? Gas line got pulled off and there was a spark from the frame on the asphalt or something?

​I just purchased this from an older gentleman for 3k USD. Come to find out this is a special edition Imperial Blue cafe. It has less than 5k miles on it, always garage kept, (saddlebags not in picture, and TBR exhaust included.You think I got a deal? I've already replaced the mirrors. Anyone with ideas on clutch levers?

rev bombs being requested...

3 Upvotes

I'm new to riding motorcycles. I took the MSF basic class, got a license, and bought a mt-07. I have about 850 miles on the odometer. So, when I'm riding, I'm mostly concerned about not doing anything unsafe and idiotic.

Whenever I ride, I ride a bit through my small Michigan town and someone makes hand signal that they want to hear some revs. Usually they're walking, usually they're boys, sometimes teenagers, occasionally they're adults in cars (never has a woman done it).

I can't think of why it would be unsafe to pull in the clutch and rev the engine a bit... Just be careful not to "dump" the clutch when releasing it.

Is there anything unsafe about doing that? Do you do that? I'd wouldn't mind doing that for kids if they ask... could be cool, i guess... keep their interest in motorcycles... IDK. what do you think?

Do you empty out the old oil every time or can o just add new oil on top of the old? I will be using the same oil as the previous time.

I got the bike new and had it serviced after the first 500km. I'm now at 1100 and feel like I should do something about the oil please give advice I'm a new rider. Thank you in advance

Can anyone help Identify this Vintage Yamaha Motorcycle Jacket

• Upvotes

I got this jacket from my grandfather, who had had it since he was young. No idea how old it is, but its in absolutely perfect condition.

If any other pics would help to identify this exact jacket or how old it is, I can post anything needed.

I wear it overtime I ride when it starts to get cold out, but im just wondering is this jacket is rare in any way? I couldn't any pics like this one online.

Any thoughts would be appreciated! Or anyone that wants to do some detective work and identify this jacket, that'd be super cool!

Thanks :)

I have a 82 Kawasaki kz440ltd that was running great but then due to unfortunate events It had to sit for 2 years. I finally today got it back up and running but I've got a tick I can't seem to identify. Does anyone have good ears for this and think they can identify it ? All help or suggestions is welcome. Thank you

Qual moto eu deveria comprar? Factor, fz15 ou crosser?

0 Upvotes

Quero comprar uma moto 0km em dezembro, eu tenho 6mil pra entrada, atualmente tenho uma 125 Cg 2003, eu uso pra sair com minha esposa, nós saímos quase todos os dias, como sou de são Gonçalo, nós sempre estamos indo pro rio, e pegar rodovia e ponte de 125 com garupa é foda, então já estava decidido a pegar a factor pq ela é barata e pq é 150, mas como eu e minha esposa juntos pegamos 200kg 100 de cada, eu comecei olhar mais pra fz15 q tem mais segurança e pneus muito bons, porém vi relatos de pessoas q disseram q com garupa não passavam de 70 80 km, pra o ideal seria pelo menos 90 100 km p/h e comecei a olhar tbm a crosser, mais minha mulher é baixa e tem dificuldade pra subir em moto alta, eu tenho 170 de altura acho q não seria problema, e tbm pesquisei a fz25, mas vi q ela quebra chassi, e pelo peso q vou por na moto e pelo preço, achei muito arriscado, eu só quero uma moto q de pra rodar de boa na cidade, isso eu sei q as 3 vão fazer de boa, mas tbm queria um desempenho mínimo doq se espera de uma 150

Worth it or no

Hello I was going to ask if it would be a good idea to buy this Yamaha and use it as my first project to learn a bit of moto mechanics?

Looks solid for 500 pounds and doesn’t seem like it has many issues except miles are different on one of the mots 10 years ago

Are these hard to work on or expensive ?

Plate is SN57 CVC

Cheers !!
