I am going to buy some new mirrors for my ZZR600 and I was wondering if these mirrors will fit on my bike. I had dropped it a couple of times and the mirror broke and fell off so I have to buy some new ones. I am not looking to spend a whole lot of money but I still want it to look halfway decent. If anyone knows of any other mirrors that look better and are cheaper then please let me know. I was just wondering these will fit. thanks

The car would start sometimes and then other times not, I have a feeling that its the alarm that came with the car. I would like to know how to bypass it and eliminate the system all together. Any help would be greatly appreciated...Thanks

Hey guys I am trying to figure out why fuel is being dumped into my cylinders? I am not sure if it just running wwaaayyyyy rich or what. I have changed the Fuel Pressure Regulator, and took a multimeter an tested the TPS an O2 sensor and Coolant temp sensor all which tested fine. If you change to dry plugs it will fire back up, drive fine, you can turn it off and back on no problem. Twice it has died while pulling into the drive but starts right back up. However if you let it sit for a day or two it wont start and the plugs are soaked what gives?

Strictly in terms of insuring the vehicle, which new vehicle would be the cheapest? Preferably an SUV, but a sedan would do as well.

i have a ford mustang v6 and it has 85,000 miles on it. he said that i need my break pads changed and it will be 170 dollars with labor. does that sound right? but he said it might be more if i needed my rotors changed or something

the reason i'm asking is because i saw at Midas its only 89.99 but i don't know if that includes labor.

I would have to go to the Secretary of State and register the vehice and get my plates established with a Michigan tag but that the title was optional. I took his word for it afterall he was giving me all the details of the transaction as we went along. At the time of the purchase I thought my transaction included tax costs for Ohio, it wasn't until I returned home and tried to register the vehicle with the SOS that I had to pay the Michigan tax and register the van including the title which came to 1500.00. Ofcourse I didn't have the funds to pay the SOS that day. I told the representative that I made the transaction in Ohio and thought taxes were paid thru the transaction of the loan. She informed me that I wasn't charged a Ohio tax because on the title it had NR typed in for non resident. I didn't know that nor would I have guessed that NR stood for non resident. I had to leave and tell her that I would have to come up with the funds. I called the dealership and asked why I wasn't made aware of the NR and the whole tax thing. Why I even bothered I don't know because they said they told me at the time of... I'm sorry but they didn't and my son is my witness he was with me throughout the whole ordeal. In April I had to have eye surgery something I didn't expect and I had out of pocket costs plus I lost a whole week of work. I contacted CPS and told them in advance that I had surgery and I would be late in making the April payment. The representative sounded fair and understanding and said ok, however shortly after that the phone calls started on my phone, and I overly explained the circumstances and who I spoke with, at work - early morning and I work for a religious community that should not have to be subject to rude and invasive telephone calls. They would not stop until I sent in some form of payment which was my first pay check after I returned to work. That left me with nothing for the remainder of the week and as soon as they received the payment they began to call about the next. Because of the time frame when I was off the next payment for May came due shortly after that. I had to pay my rent which is 900 and again I explained the circumstances I was under and would fulfill my obligation to them asap. I was only one payment behind and you would have thought I was six payments behind and choosing not to do anything about it. The car payment itself is 600.00 - so between my rent due the first and the car payment due the 12th - I need at least 1500 on hand to cover both costs. My budget was okay until I was hit with Michigan taxes and surgery. As it stands the car still is not registered in Michigan because the 1,000.00 dollars I was saving to accomplish that was used to make a payment in a half on the van or else they were going to send a driver to pick it up. I have never been in such demanding circumstances as I am now with this finance company. Before this purchase I never heard of CPS and I did go to their website and look it over after I knew they would be doing the financing but it wasn't until today that I discoverd all the input and reports that your website has. I feel like it was meant to be because I was on the phone with CPS giving them the tracking numbers of the money gram I sent them for payment that I started clicking away and soon before my eyes I read all the reviews. Before I go any further I want to say that I took what measures I thought I could within my reach to ask the Michigan SOS treasury in Lansing if I could set up a payment for the taxes and was turned down. I emailed Terry Lind the head of the SOS and she also turned me down for installment payments. I went back to the SOS to see if they would accept some type of payment plan and again no was the answer. I am really stuck now and feel like I was taken for the biggest ride ever by both the dealership and CPS. I don't know what I can do if anything and I would be very grateful if anyone could help or suggest something that will address these issues - what happened to me probably happens to someone everyday somewhere and it is unfortunate.

Just want some feedback. I always notice how big cars and trucks are now. They keep getting bigger. I saw a guy today driving some ford truck that was so big it took him 5 min to park it.

I am trying to run this in a racing car (low power requirements). At 8000 rpm (revs of alternator) the alternator produces 6 volts. With car alternators the gearing is usually around 2 or 3 times engine speed.
To get 12 volts I will have to run at 16000 rpm (alternator) is this normal?
Surely 12 volts should be produced at bike engine tick over?

Back in 2000 when I was 21 years old after just I blew my entire savings of $11,000, I knew I made a horrible mistake.

If I had to go through that time and so forth all over again physically being 21 again but knowing everything I know now at 28 and as my family around me advised that I should get that 1998 white Camaro with 24K miles because it's reliable, I would DEFINTIELY laugh in their faces now and tell them they've gotta be out of their God-damn minds and must think I'm an indiot if I'm gonna just blow my enitre savings of $11,000 away. I would ask them what the hell I'm doing on these new car lots and have them take me to a private seller and get a car for as cheap as $3000, keep $1,000 for tools and repairs, have fun with $1,000 on beer, strip clubs, EBAY, etc., and keep $6,000 in my bank and not even touch it.




That's what I would've done had I known what I know now.
What would you think of my decision had I done that?

I have a 1999 Suzuki Bandit 1200s. I took my motorcycle to the shop to have some very minor work done on it. The guy their told me I should get a jet kit put in it. I have no idea what that is or what it does. Could someone please explain what a jet kit is and if I should get it or are they just trying to make me spend money?

Just asking as I got a new vauxhall and the paint marks really easily compared to other cars I have had in the past.
I was told that waterbased paints are being used now and I am not sure if this could be my problem.
