  1. Dont you guys have to start out on 250(or something in the sub 250cc range) and work your way up? i thought the UK had some kind of licence/cc limit on new riders....
  2. do yourself a favor, and get a new chain with those new sprockets...new sprockets+old chain= bad combo
  3. crashfire, nice Yota!....have the same one myself, color and all(down to that damn stripe...haha)....Where'd ya pick up that glass from??? I'm runnin a set of Big O's MT(265x75x16) on the Toyota...not the best tire out there, but for free ninety free....i'm not gonna complain... and on my 2nd set of BFG AT's(33x12.5x15)...on my dodge. I love 'em. I'm not a hard core off-roader, but they've never failed me good luck, lots of good choices out there...
  4. Thanks nater. Getting it up was easy ...... trying to find the balance point and keep it up, took some time.... I've had my share of "stoppies"(endoes) w/ heavy equipt as well..... Grade-All(boom fork), boom extended, with a couple bundles of rebar on it...
  5. I tried a search and even looked in each forum, but couldn't find it...... I was looking for it because my riding pants melted on to the pipe, and now the pipe looks like crap... ... If anyone can find the post or tell me what will take it off, i will gladly buy them a beer (I.D. required)..... Thanks...
  6. In a nut shell, bigger rear sprocket(or smaller front) = better bottom end...but for this better bottom end you will lose top speed. smaller rear(or bigger front) will give the opposite effect....
  7. 50 some bucks for a set of plastics is cheap, but not all that crazy..... If he included the grill i'd expect to pay a lot more, but.....
  8. I use the Motion Pro brake bleeder. basically it's just a one way check valve. Put it on, crack the bleeder screw and pump away till there's no more air, Close the screw, and toss 'er back in the tool box till next time. or there's the SPEED BLEEDER . it replaces the bleeder screw altogether.
  9. right on!... The only pic i have .. (blue R1 in front)
  10. I had the twist w/ out the screws (before i knew anything about them) anyway.... Yeah you can get it to idle, but it'll run like crap(at least mine did)....i had no top end
  11. So you used 2 gromits for each silencer? both on the very back(long) bolt, or one on the back bolt and one on the front? Did you use the thick sleeve type washer? if so, where did you put it? you dont happen to have a picture, do you? i just cant believe i havnt figured it out already......
  12. I'd check w/ Honda themself..Your gonna pay a little more, but the quality and fit, is gonna be 10 times better then say lockhart phillips..... btw anyone else hungry??? lotsa chicken strips in here..... ...just Now that i see the pics of tats and checkster, i miss the hell out of my bike... track days were the best! 99 R1, taken out in the prime of her life, by a carless driver......
  13. Whats the deal w/ all the wahsers/gromits and sleeves that come w/ theses silencers? Are they all going to be used(if so where), or are some extra or for another type of bike??? I know it's not rocket science, but i couldnt figure out what goes where... any help...of pics would be nice thanks
  14. #1 i believe it's every 15-20 hrs of ride time..... #2 yeah the "lower" on the master cylinder means low.. #3 click this link...you'll have to register to the site on line shop manual
  15. at least they didnt charge ya for it........ .....
  16. give the carbs a couple taps w/ a screwdriver handle...if that doesnt work, take them apart and make sure the float height is right..i believe its supposed to 21mm...
  17. read this....best damn tech advice ever
  18. and doubles as a can crusher........
  19. It was at a middle school addition ...so maybe they were new to it...working their way up to bigger things.... ... hey where's the flame thrower?????????
  20. I usually just break out the ol Cali mini car duster, and give it a once over if it isn't all that dirty..works really good.... If you do hose her down, make sure you dry it off completely. Rust and water spots suck.....
  21. My work truck recently got "tagged" on the job site...It's not all that bad, but looks silly (a big silver number 2 on the driver side door, and some overspray on the door handle) Question...Is there anything i can use to remove the spray paint from the door, with out damaging the OE paint, or will it have to be sanded off, and the door repainted? Most of the paint on the door handle i was able to get off w/ my finger nail, and doent really look all that bad. I'm mainly concerned about the door itself. ANY help is appreciated...
  22. this info may not help u tonight, but it just might tomorrow.....800mg IBU, water and sleep...... unless u have a friend thats a paramedic........(god bless normal saline, and other "hang over helpers"...)...
  23. 3rd setting (middle)
  24. Tire pressure.......... I've never heard that one before, now i'm curious.
