    Should I replace my rear brake?

    When I switch position with the camera that was so I could put my foot on the brake, wheel didn't budge an inch when that happened

    Should I replace my rear brake?

    It's just strange that it started right after that though. Not really comfortable with that idea, not really mechanically inclined. Ninja 250. Took some doing but I got the bike out of the laundry room and into the kitchen instead and was able to take this video...

    Should I replace my rear brake?

    Last summer I had a very close encounter of the dumb kind, group of people decided that they just could not be bothered to walk to the corner and wait for the light to turn green before crossing the street and there were enough of them that swerving was not an option. This was on a 60km/h street...

    This wear Normal or am I doing something horribly wrong?

    Don't really care about the look of it all, I wouldn't have noticed it at all if my foot hadn't started slipping off sometimes as I was shifting down but like I said in another reply I turned it on its side and it's fine now. I was more worried about whether or not I was doing something...

    This wear Normal or am I doing something horribly wrong?

    I did that after I left work and found the underside was just as worn so now I have it on it's side until I buy a new one. I did not know you could change the height of those, I will look into it in the future. Thanks for the info. Least I'm not posting whiny comments about the "quality"...

    This wear Normal or am I doing something horribly wrong?

    I know it'll wear, just concerned at the speed of the wear. It's like when you're a kid and all your left shoes always die within a few months because part of the sole is all eroded, sure it's wear but it's wear that indicates something may be wrong with your walk.

    This wear Normal or am I doing something horribly wrong?

    For reference bike is a 2012 and this is my second season with it. I'm guessing I'm going to have to replace it very soon since my foot slips a bit when I downshift if I am not careful but I'd like to know if there something I can do to reduce the rate at which it's wearing out. (I'm also kinda...

    Newb just bent pedal shifter on Ninja 250R! Please help!

    Buy frame sliders and get them installed. You won't have to worry about bending the pedal again. Will also protect other pieces from scratching or snapping off.

    How many years of riding exp did you have before you learned how to wheelie?

    I learned how to wheelie on my 5th day of riding. I also learned how to lowside a bike across an intersection for the amusement (and possible horror) of many onlookers 2 seconds later. For the record the wheelie was not intentional, I'm really not interested in stunting. I stalled twice at the...

    ear plug headphones?!

    Beats by Dre are overpriced for what they do. I use this LG HBS-730 It's Bluetooth, pairs with any phone that has Bluetooth, can be double paired if you use one device for music and pone for phone calls, has about 10 hour active battery life and a couple of days idle. it comes with a couple...

    Ducati Monster 1200!!!!

    I don't understand why people pay to be a billboard -_- I mean if a company went "yeah have our logo on your bike, ride it around and we'll pay you X amount per 100 kilometers or something then fine" but here it's the company slapping a logo on a bike and people just go batshit because "HEY...

    Can someone Identify this exhaust?

    Don't really care about what's FAR in front of me, my concern is the sides and rear sides since those are the ******** that seem to want to run me over the most. But then I'd have to grow a beard and those itch. Also, $100 < $5-6K and again, not changing bikes for at least 4-5 years.

    Can someone Identify this exhaust?

    I'm not changing bikes for another 3-4 years, insurance would kill me if I did, it's already raping my wallet as it is. Anyway it's not like I'm going to go out and buy it right now, I'm simply considering it because the stock one is really quiet so cars don't hear it. Everybody's a...

    Can someone Identify this exhaust?

    Didn't sound like a fart can though just sounded louder, deeper and far less whiny than the stock exhaust. Checked out a few vids on youtube and looks/sound like it might be the dan moto one.

    Can someone Identify this exhaust?

    While making my way to work I encountered a fellow Kawi but his sounded a lot better than my lawnmower. :lmao: Seeing as I had a camera strapped to my head and I don't really like bothering people I did not ask what make/model the exhaust was but I am hoping one of you might be able to figure...

    Riding without a helmet

    Riding without a helmet would cause me to eat a lot of bugs, therefore I stand by the law.

    Having difficulty changing gears?

    I have to say I don't really know, like it said it doesn't happen very frequently but I don't think I ever really go wide open throttle unless I'm already in 6th on the highway.
