I am rolling a BMW r1100s with Abs and servo assist. When I first drove the bike it was fine with normal braking. after driving for say 20minutes, I touch front brakes and they are super grabby almost locking the front wheel! Later after more driving they were super soft requiring extreme...

mine is a 2000 umm what reader are you using ? standard OBD II monitor can read "monitors" too?

That advice would apply to old E-test , but i'm curious about the new E-test where they don't even do tailpipe test, just OBDII scan... hmm so unclear what they test actually tests - does it matter if the check engine light was ON recently (but was reset)?? how many KMs do I have to drive...

audi a4 1.8turbo just picked it up. car running rich for sure. check engine was on 1st thing i fixed was broken wires to sensor on blow-off valve . check engine back on - car misfiring Replaced all plugs today - runs amazing!! NOW - my question re: this new E-test and...

2500km is a lot of test drives! i wouldn't worry about that... salesman probably used it as his daily driver for a month or so while tying to sell it. good call on the googling - I already found the ad from 3 years ago when car was for sale.. but nothing bad yet

i've done it before - even hopping a median is no problem with a dual sport or motard. adds some spice to the daily commute :) ninja 250 0-60 time is around 5seconds? which is to say faster than most cars.. so I think you will be okay. high revving engine though, so don't be shy to...

"Should I eat an Apple or an orange?" hmmm tough comparo haha what do you use the bike for? Do you take your klx and do all the fun stuff like riding up stairs, hoping curbs and cutting through parks to beat traffic - then you will miss it. If you do normal driving - then the ninja...

i know they are half-worthless.. but i want to run an ex-american car just to see if any redflags....

i have an 80s suzuki v4 cruiser, 1200cc. would start immediately last fall. I put stabilizer in it before storing, and battery kept indoors and fresh. cranking .. it wants to catch b-b-b--b-b-b- tiny puffs of smoke from the exhausts. Today with warmer weather , it backfired a...

i generally go by the "Divide by 10" rule haha but seriously be careful - if amount too low, and if spot-audit, they will make you pay the proper amount

first off - I wouldn't post this stuff online on a public forum... secondly.. you got off on the M1 infraction.. i would pay up and hope this goes away. as for your insurance you can always "play dumb" and not mention it. if they dont pull your driver abstract regularly they may never see...

replacing a 520-110 chain.. have googled it blah blah blah.. but wanted to get your advice guys in terms of a chain breaker - what would your recommend? saw the Tusk ones on ebay for very cheap.. vs bike shops who want $70-130 range for Chain removal kits... or angle grinder...

Super fun, all black (de-badged) Suzuki DRZ-400sm. 21,000km, in great condition. Love the Super Motards (this is my second one), but its a new season and time for something... crazy fast :) Looking for a 636, R6, CBR... or...?
