    It's a bloody Christmas miracle!

    Not surprised that your bike took 3 mins to crank over...Carb float bowls were probably bone dry. Next time turn your petcock on prime before you start cranking.

    Awaken and Wash Your Beasts....

    Personally I'd wait until Street sweepers are out and clean up the debris that's accumulated. The rain that we've had certainly wasn't enough to wash most of it away.

    2012 zx14

    You said that it's more of an "aggressive sport touring bike". How tall are you Greg and how is the reach to the bars compared to your 2007? I'm just curious.

    Advice for a bike upgrade

    A Supersport 600/750 is a lot of bike compared to what you are currently riding. These bikes will get you in trouble very quickly if you aren't careful with the throttle. To be honest with you 6000 km/s of riding is not very much. Have you ridden in all types of weather and road/traffic...

    January 23rd???

    @ MacDoc: My last post was in regards to distance ridden in charging the battery during a ride. You may have misunderstood what I posted. I find it hard to believe that you can charge a battery fully from a half hour ride. A Battery needs to be above idle speed for charging purposes. That is...

    Perfect + Cheap Tire Pressure Gauge for Motorcycle.

    I have a digital "stick type" that I use. With the Gixxer, its just a little challenging to work around the front rotors and spokes. That one looks a lot more maneuverable with that hose thing built in.

    wind/cold effects.

    Fully faired bike? Lean into the wind next time. Dopping down a gear is a good idea as well. Just take it one step further. This worked for me today.

    Spark plug change interval

    Re: Spark plug Question and upcoming cold weather. @RockerGuy It was all good. I quickly shut the bike off with the kill switch and reversed the plug leads. Bike was fine. Scared the crap outta me at first !!

    Spark plug change interval

    Re: Spark plug Question and upcoming cold weather. Make SURE you observe and replace the spark plug leads in their correct firing order; otherwise loud popping may occur. I made this mistake while wrenching on mine. Label them when you pull them out eg: inside and outside. Also make sure the...
