Motorcycles - September 2006

Hi, I was wondering if I could get some help with my sons xr70. It seems to be running rich, it doesn't run good once it's warm, no power and sputter's a lot. When I take the plug out it is jet black. I have played with the air/fuel screws on the side of the carb. and it really doesn't make any difference. There is one screw on the other side of the carb. that is turned all the way in, if I back it out a little bit I start getting gas running out the overflow tube from the carb. Any info. would be appreciated, I am a long way from a dealer and I really want to get this fixed.
Thanks Nate

I'm thinking of getting a rebel and want to travel to Los Angeles at least once a year and I'll be mostly using it to go to school and work during the year. I also have no experience with bikes, is this an ok purchase or should i try to save some money to get a bigger bike?

The leather saddlebags on my husbands bike turned green. Would shoe polish stain it back to black or is there something else out there we could use?

BTW, Im not referring to Pit-Walk pass yar. I went paddock before only coz once, a friend of mine received her paddock pass (Sepang, Malaysia) from a co. she worked for. Last yr, I was juz inches away from Rossi, Hayden, Biaggi & Gibernau. The feeling was beyond description as I felt nothing in da world matters anymore when I met em! Hayden was da nicest dude! Hope Hayden tops tis time yar n Kudos to Pedrosa too!! (Ups for Honda Repsol)

Anyway...my friend couldnt get privileges anymore. Last week's race, I could only managed the Grand Stand, which really *sarks*. Now, Im preparing for next yr's. How can I get paddock VIP pass?

I found really cool helmets from lazer and schuberth - some have glossy graphics on them, some cool matt ones. What material is used for this (for matt and glossy), what kind of printing technology and how is it finally stretched onto the helmet?

He wants to pass a national helmet law. More personal freedom and the Constitution, in the form of State's Rights under attack.


BTW: I always wear a helmet.

I'm looking for a model or type of motorbike that is reasonable for insurance purposes for my 18yr old daughter who has just passed her bike test. She has a full car licence to and has had no claims but insurance seems VERY high for any motorbikes i've looked at. Any advise would be welcome.
