In the effort of bringin' it back, I snapped my throttle cable today. This was after fitting a crash bar and some measurements to add highway pegs to the near-bottom of it (I also twisted the throttle a bunch for sh*ts which may have broken an already loose cable). It's unfortunate, because many...

Finished dialing in the carbs for my xs400 today. Took it out for a spin around the block to make sure I was getting a reasonable amount of power from idle to WOT. In the dwindling hours of daylight today I finally got it to run perfectly without the choke. I say I've done pretty well for doing...

I understand about the accident. The price isn't my problem as I am willing to pay Jevco $2300 for the year. My concern is that they don't give a crap if I've taken a rider training course and that I've essentially spent $500 learning how to ride for nothing in return. I mean I could have had a...

I've had my G for a year and a bit. Took my time getting from my G2 to my G. Oh, I completely forgot to mention that I had an at-fault accident 2 years ago (no charges).

Turns out over the winter I got super attached to Piglet's shape and decided I was going to leave it relatively stock (so no bobber project for this one). I may go into upgrading hardware on it when the...

Hey guys. I'm new to the motorbike scene and picked up an inexpensive XS 400 Heritage. I'm eventually hoping to turn it into a bobber but want to start small. First I want to toss on a new air filter and free up a bit of space under the seat. I'm wondering what kind of work I have to put in to...
