Could probably due with a few fueling tweaks, and maybe some aftermarket stuff to alleviate clutch issues, and you'd probably be good to go! Any time I've done a demo ride, I'd pop the bike in neutral, throw my visor up, and undo my jacket a bit. Soon as we start rolling "Oh! Silly me!" I'd have...

Yup - I've still got 'em! If you wouldn't mind shooting me a PM after reading this, that would be great. We can discuss things further! (and I've cleaned up my inbox; a lot)

Your description of what exactly is happening is a bit...Vague. It started the first day, but not the second? What happens the second day? You turn the key, the pump primes, you hit the stater and then - nothing? Does it crank over? What does it do? You could try giving it a bit of throttle...

Fixed! Sorry about that!

I could sell you my footpegs as a set for $40+ shipping. PM if that interests you.

The throttle assembly made a huge difference for me. I popped it off and found a whole whack of rust underneath. Cleaned it with some sand paper and steel wool, then applied waterproof grease fairly liberally and threw everything back together. Gorilla grip - gone!

Compared to a purebred super... Yeah. The Gixxers I've ridden were like a whole other beast, and the power just kept coming and coming.

I got a local cycle magazine recently and they reviews the GSXS 1000, and were very impressed. It's on the 07/08 GSXR1000 mill, but they reworked a bunch of the inner parts for low end grunt - and it was apparently very capable. Plus, for the difference in price, you could get a bunch of mods...

Assuming the teensy bolt on the front fork is loosened, get yourself a drive socket set. I got one on sale for like $20 at a local hardware store! I used my torque wrench on a high setting and it came off without a hitch.

Thank you, thank you! Just going to die slowly waiting for March to roll around! Figured if I'd be getting another bike, I may as well get something else just to broaden my horizons. I liked, but didn't quite love (not the reason I killed it, honestly!) my FZ as much as I wanted to. Was...

Hey folks! Figured I'd share the good news in that I found a wicked deal on a bike - and will be back on the road next year. Got a local 2002 CBR600 F4i with 30,500 miles for $3000! It's had a full service done, including valves, oil/filter, plugs, etc. Comes with a new chain, sprocket (steel...

Running on Windows 7 with Firefox. I've got ABP which is disabled on here, and NoScript which I also disable for the site. Something in the recent advertisements, or part of the website design (although I'm thinking the former) has been causing my browser to lock up completely. It only stopped...

My sides! Great catch! Little did we know, Kawasaki decided to sneak their way in and try to steal the show!

I feel bad for all the sellers I've been finding as of late, because I'm in the know and regularly ask that. To most people, the thought of a valve adjustment seems super intensive, scary, and costly. I've got the feeler gauges and a bit of mechanical aptitude, and will just do it myself, but I...

With the money saved from the GSXS, you could tune that biatch and work out any of the kinks!

I've found a lot of metric (mm) type bolt heads on this bike in my deconstruction process. Make sure you've got the right tools for the job, in that case. If you're able to cut a slit in the head of the bolt (dremel or a small saw that works on metal), you might be able to use a slot screw...

The handlebar clamp has sold already, sorry. That's why it's not on the numbered text list. As for the O2 sensor, I've got that ready to go. I'll package it up as best I can and get you an estimate! Shouldn't be more than a couple of bucks, due to the small size and weight. There's an...

They've sold already, sorry my man.

Got a few parts left! Comon folks!

Old guy claimed a bee stung him in the crotch and he swerved without meaning to; wishes he could go back in time and do things differently. This video sums up why trying to be a vigilante doesn't really work so well. Trying to 'punish' a minor infraction led to a lot of injury and hassle...
