Thanks, I think this would have been my approach too. For the tire pressure, what do you guys run? I think I do about 30psi for street. Not sure how different for track. I would say I'm pretty new to track. I've only ever done 2 track days. I got Ace Moto Tech to recommend me a tire that would...

What if they're not racing slicks? I have a pair of brand new Dunlop roadsport 2 and don't have warmers. I haven't started to track my own bike yet, I've only ever rented.

If I may also ask another question in this thread... Do manufacturers still put some compound on the tires to release it from a mold? How do track riders with freshly installed tires scrub the slick compound off?

YASSSS They still have my picture as their poster boy for advanced riding. But I suck, still happy tho. Hi Maheen :)

+1 Pretty much true in any area.

Generally, you move your arms out of the way to see what's behind you. When you're coming up on an intersection, check your mirrors again. Always know what's beside you, behind you and infront. This should all be second nature. Situational awareness can save your life.

still weird behaviour I took it apart Piston wasn't too gunky or anything but I cleaned everything again anyway. Seal on the piston looked fine visually. I made sure the paths were clear. I added liquid to the reservoir and liquid drained right through (without the piston) I reassembled...

ok update. I took the lever off and disassembled the caliper. The brake pads are wearing evenly. The pistons had a small bit of crud on them, looked like pitting but I was able to remove 90% of it. That part of the piston protrudes out of the caliper because the pads had worn down and that...

is it just me or did anyone else fixate on and replay the part where he went ... "oh **** oh **** oh **** oh **** oh **** ...... oh **** AEUUGGHGHGHHHH"

wow no kidding, thats legit pricey.

http://www.kijiji.ca/v-sport-bikes/city-of-toronto/honda-cbx/1071501398?enableSearchNavigationFlag=true $12,000 for a1979 CBX. I don't know if it is THAT much of a collectors bike to warrant that high a price

Hey frekey, I can't ride it until I know it is safe. I don't want to risk another incident like what happened that day. If I was something else, I would drop by. I'm assuming the air and liquid both would expand so it might not have to spill over to be too pressurized. There was no spillage...

Hey fiaz its a 2004 cb600f i believe they are stock brakes, I'll have to check what brand but looks to be same as any other super sport, dual caliper twin piston setup. I don't think they're nissin, but I'll check ok so I haven't had a chance to remove the calipers yet but I rode it again and...

ok thanks, I'll take it apart and check. I did service the forks about 2 months back and I didn't notice any build up or anything when holding the calipers. Maybe something seized it momentarily... anyway I'll take it apart regardless.

So I was riding home today for a quick stop before heading out again. I stopped by at home to grab my backpack and roughly 3 minutes later I came back to the bike, started her up and began to back pedal out of the parking spot I forwarded into. I noticed it was strangely difficult to back out...

I have a real spool stand I can sell you. 1 piece (not 2 pieces bolted together) and a front fork stand. I just bought a front triple stand so I cant sell that. PM me if interested.

Prevent your bike from being stolen. That would solve your issue.

I think a typical full charge is more like around 14V

Interesting that the researcher said that the botfly produces painkillers to make the botfly unnoticeable. Would be interesting if they studied the mechanisms of those painkillers for perhaps human uses.

Yeah if I'm gonna take the forks off I might as well replace all the oil back up to spec
