Ah, his PM inbox is full

Hello, I posted recently about my friends bike, and with that problem out of the way, now I can focus at my own - I got a set of new tires and new oil filter. I need it all installed(I try to stay away from engine/drive part of the bike due to lack of experience). I have few places around me...

Gentelmen, she is up and running thanks to all of you. We decided that a new battery is a safer choice.

Just some updates, we managed to find the main fuse thanks to that link, it did have a spare one so we just replaced it, we were going to buy a new one asap but Family day...anyhow we are currently waiting on battery to charge to see if this will fix the problem. Question for you all - should he...

Thank you all for your replies. I have passed the information, but probably better off going there and helping him. From what I understood, we will need to purchase main fuse for his bike and new battery. Since I can't seem to find any batteries in local stores we will have to order it from...

Where can I find main fuse to check? Thank you

Hello, we had a nice warm day today in TO so me and some of my friends decided to go for a run...but! One of our friends bikes would not start(he didn't store it properly in winter, duh) so we decided to give it a go with what we had. Before anything , we checked the battery - 8V, so dead. We...

Thank you for the detailed answers, and I don't feel like you are coming down on me, if anything, if the questions are asked have lead you and others to believe that I should practice more before going on the roads (or taking a course again), I am happy to hear it now, rather than later. Also...

Never drove manual VM - I learned on chevy and drove fords, non of them stopped me from going into 1st. Perhaps the german cars are better though through?

Thank you for your concern! I was not trying to switch to 1st gear, I did it once when I just got the bike, and one time now to make sure It was not a mistake. I was making sure there is nothing with my bike that I have to fix, thats it! I understand it comes with practice, and yes, remembering...

CBR300R 2015 And I am always holding the clutch when shifting gears, I drove manual car my entire life, thats why the thing with 1st gear bugged me so much, I mean I can be doing 200 km/h on any manual car, and as long as I hold clutch and don't let go, I can put it in any gear(without...

I don't recall him shifting in the curve to be honest, but I might be wrong. They used CBR125, CBR250F and HONDA GROM(or something like that) - all honda bikes. Perhaps I worded that poorly, they advised us not to shift during the turn and while curving, but no one said that you "couldn't" do...

I never said "Honda Riding Training Course", I said at Honda. The school name is Learning Curves too, this is just one of the locations they use - 180 Honda BLVD. I don't know, maybe I got bad instructor?:confused: What, from questions that I asked here, did they teach you? And thank you for...

Hey Guys! Thank you for all your answers. I ended up figuring out that it was a fan running and will definitely practice my turns more. I did take rider training course at Honda and passed it with flying colours, but they never talk about questions I asked you, only thing they told us in regards...

Hello Guys, I am a new rider so don’t judge me if I am asking dumb or silly questions, I tried researching some of my questions, but I thought that perhaps in combination these questions will make more sense. Here it goes, I ride CBR300R 2015 (1 previous owner) 1)How do you guys slow down when...
