How hard is it to change the back tire on this motorcycle? Would it be better to take it to a shop? They want to charge me $212.00 to change it for me. Any info appreciated:)

How does it work. I know one is on the bottom.
After first and you shift up does it become neutral or do you have to click it up two times for second. and does the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th have different position and stay there or it comes back down and you have click up once more to get in a higher gear.

Last night I was backing out of my friends driveway and as i was turning my wheel i bumped into a parked car parked on the opposite side of the street. It was a very bad place to be backing up, with low visibility all around. I did some damage to his his car nothing major. I was only going about 6mph. We made a police report and everything. He has Michigan no fault insurance. I have full coverage. He had an old 1989 jalopy. I have an 07 Acura Rdx. He basically told me he doesn't care about his car but he wants to get the most out of me he can get. He kept saying he bet he could get 4grand out of me. I know Michigan is a no fault state and that each person is liable for their own damages. But how exactly does this work with his car being parked and not having full coverage? Will my insurance pay? Would they only pay up to the amount his car is worth?

My sister as a 99 Taurus, and it drove great. The gears shifted smoothed, and no signs of problems. Well see goes to get gas, and when see gets back in nothing. The car wont move, and when you put it in drive/reverse its like its in neutral?

What i have done is hooked my scan tool, and check for codes. I wonted to make sure the trans computer did not go bad, and i got no codes back. The only thing i can think of is its just went up. I dont get how a trans with less then 140k, and never showed signs of going bad could...

Also had a trans flush about a month ago. This is what i think is the problem. I have pulled the pan, and now think it is something else. There is no metal shavings in the pan etc. Its clean, and lans also. Some one told me it could be the plug? I have no clue what there talking about.

Thanks

After I used tryed to charge my jump start battery in my car using a 12v plug, the car no longer charges my car battery.
Did my alternator died out?
When I used the battery on another car it worked fine.

Is it bad for a car to charge a jump start battery while driving?

36000 miles I've noticed it for about 1000 miles or so. Can I make this trip or should I rent a car? I shook the rear wheel it has very little play but, the other side is solid. Guessing by the slight rumble it is a wheel bearing. Any advice for a semi self taught mechanic?

I have a 2004 GMC 1500 PU. It is an automatic and seems to make a very slight"clunk" when it shifts from its first to second gear. It is very minor . It just seems not to be "smooth" All other gears seem fine and there is no slipping. Is this common?

The fuel injectors of my 90 trans am are shot and need to be replaced. Rather than buying the original factory injectors, I was considering installing performance injectors. But what are the advantages of putting in better injectors with a higher flow rate. The original injectors are 19 lb/hr. Whats a good size and resistance injector to use and can any size injectors be installed or do i also have to buy other parts to support it.

My Kawasaki Versys has an adjustable suspension and is set for an average rider build of 68 kg (150LB) with no passenger and no accessories.

The stock setting varies from front to back, but I am wanting to find out if I should adjust the suspension since I am at 300 lbs before I wear a backpack.

If the front and rear suspension is set for a 150lb guy, clearly it should be adjusted to hold a 300lb guy right?

I just bought a 2008 Kawasaki Versys.

The max recommended load in addition to vehicle weight is 397 lbs (180 kg), including rider, passenger, baggage and accessories.

I weigh around 300lbs and plan on installing a top box to carry not much more than a backpack and books for school plus laptop. I also plan on carrying a passenger, and would like to get side cases in the future as well. Am I putting too much of a burden on my bike? I guess I shouldve checked on this before hand.

Does this mean that I can only carry 97 lbs more weight on my motorcycle? Or is it safe but not ideal to carry what I desire? If I can only carry 97 more pounds, the passenger is a no go.

I should just lose 100 lbs and and not worry about it!

I have a 99 Honda Civic. Two oil changes ago my car was fine. Less than 2 weeks after that oil change my oil light turned on, took it the place where I got the oil change and they topped it off. At least 3 more times I had to put oil in it. Two weeks ago I got another scheduled oil changed and now my light is on again. It's not leaking because I don't see it. What could be the cause?
