Maybe it's because I live in the midwest that the riders only have a few months every year to ride and get excited, but with no exceptions, EVERY idiot on (crotch rockets mostly) a motorcycle has to hold in the clutch and rev up their bike. Do they think people think that's cool? Definitley NOT cool when they pull in to my neighbors house at 3AM!

to 3rd, 2nd and 1st..(with the clutch in of course). Or do you just move the stick from 4th directly to 1st. Or does it really matter since you have the clutch in. thanks...i've always wondered if one way is better than the other.

Everytime i turn the car off i have to jump-start is to get it started again, but when i actually get it started it will run until i turn it off so that tells me that it possibly couldnt be the alternator because if the alternator was bad then the car wouldnt run, but this is why im asking to the world, is it possible for the alternator to be bad enough to not keep the battery charged but still run the car??? The battery is about a year old give or take a little, any and all help will be greatly appreciated!!!

I got these rotors about 3 weeks ago, and I just noticed that all four rotors have rust on them. What could be the problem? Is it something I should get fixed immediately?

The landlord asked me to move the old car or it would be towed. I was gonna just junk it but then my boyfriend asked could he use it to drive a cab part time. I said yes,We parked it on the street and he promissed he would have it towed to a shop in a few days. Its been sitting there for about 2-3 weeks now. I noticed that it had some tickets on it the other day. I went online to check it out and seen that the tickets racked up to $1,600 they have been ticketing the plates for my current car. How is this possible? It has the old cars vin# but my current plate# on all of the tickets. I am concerned about this because My insurance is in someone elses name. I was trying to see if I could probably get some of these tickets thrown out or reduced before I let the person know? Does anyone have any idea what I Should say in court? The tickets are for exp registration (eventhough I transferred the reg. to the new car) exp. inspection and rear plate missing. Anyone have ticket beating advice?

Does Downshifting with the engine gear use more gas than just using your brakes instead? I ask this because when I do downshift, it runs the RPM's up, but it's not like im accelerating..

I have a gas tank has been cleaned out but gas will not run from the tank to the carburetor. How do I get the valve under the tank to get the gas to run out? There is an on and a reserve tab. Is is possible to take the valve off the tank? It appears to be pressed into the tank.

Thanks for your help!

On an 2007 250cc Kawasaki ninja it says to do 500 miles staying under 4000rpm (35mph) the from 500 - 1000 miles staying under 6000 rpm
How important is this? I'm not thinking of running it at full speed or anything but is it bad to do the speed limit of say 45 or 55 when 35 is the rpm limit?

I have tried everything i have read...cycling the key 4 times, 8 times and even 10 times with no luck. the remotes I am trying to program have been used before with other vehicles but not my explorer. Is there something I am not doing right, or do these remotes need to be de-programmed first? From all I have read the programming process wipes the memory from the remotes initially anyhow. My explorer does have the keypad on the door if this makes a difference. Any help would be much appreciated since the dealership would be charging upwards of $60.00 per remote to program. Thanks!
