I have the same helmet and had a similar problem. I had to order through a dealer in California, who got them shipped from Shark France. Took forever to get here, and wasn't really worth the effort. If you're interested, I have a spare set of xl cheek pads that are just sitting on a shelf.

I had an 07 650r, and it was my first bike. Like the others have said, it's a reliable, simple bike and a great choice for your first bike. My experience was that the sv is very comparable, but slightly more aggressive in seating position. It also seems to command a slightly higher price for a...

One unexpected cost that I ran into was the amount of junk food consumed while on the road. That was followed by gym memberships for weight loss. My own weight loss counts as an upgrade to the ride, right?

If the price is much cheaper in the US and you are willing to drive or ride down, you could try getting it shipped to an address in buffalo and picking it up there. There's a few places that will hang on to your stuff for you at a minimal cost. CBI USA is one for example. How you plan on...

My bike already has the sportbars on them - the previous owner had installed them. They're great! OK now that I have all of this information - I just need to prioritize. It's very tempting to just buy up everything. As for the forums, it's cool to see the manufacturer specific communities...

Thanks for all of the replies. As has been said, after doing a quick wash last night, I have definitely found a few quirks with the bike already. After cleaning and lubing the chain, realized a few things: 1. I should have bought a rear stand. Moving the bike over and over to get access to the...

Thanks for the responses! This is great info. I got a Ninja 650r. There's no center stand, so I will have to get myself a rear stand to make my life a bit easier. The reason I wanted to understand cleaning a bit more is because it seems like after cleaning the bike, I'd want to do all of the...

Just picked up my first bike - picked up a used bike and want to get it cleaned up. From what I've read, this seems like a good time to throw in a chain clean&lube as well. I've tried searching but couldn't find anything around places that could do this for me? It sounds like this is something...
