Motorcycles - June 2007

Ok, lets say your mechanic fills your car/bike with oil?
And then one day, your oil is running oil , and you want to top it up, will it do any damage to your car/bike if you top up with a different brand/type oil??

btw, this is for a motorbike (Zzr250). But answers welcome about cars, shouldn't differ much between the two.

My fiancee just bought a new Harley so I bought him a "guardian bell". It's supposed to ward off those evil road spirits. I just don't know if there is a certain place it is supposed to go.

If hard core Harley riders live a simple life, i.e. they live to ride and ride to live.....why do they chose the most expensive motor cycle? It would seem if you truly only lived to ride it would be much simpler to live your life on a Honda or something equally reliable, but much less expensive. Think of the oil changes that cost $89, every part costs $100 etc.

I have a feeling the answer will be "If you have to ask, you wouldn't understand". So other than that answer, why else? Don't get me wrong, I love Harley's, I just don't like the fact the company knows they are a cult phenomenon and take advantage of thier biggest supporters, thier riders.

I recently had my driver's license suspended and have been looking for alternate modes of transportation. I have been looking at motor scooters and have heard from several people about the laws regarding their legality and the qualifications to operate them. To my understanding it is legal to drive a motor scooter that is approved by the GADOT as long as it is 49CC or under without a license. I need to find out exactly what the laws are because an arrest would be my life! Thanks for all responses in advance

I've been looking at bike helmet statistics and reading motorcycling books.

Do you think electric cyclists (ebikers - usually don't pedal, and don't get sweaty) would be safer overall by using a DOT-approved helmet for ebiking?

Is a full-face motorcycle helmet too restrictive for bicycle use in the city, in your opinion?

I've heard from downhill cyclists that the Giro full-face "foam" helmet's chin guard breaks on impact, and broke their jaws. Would a motorcycle helmet have prevented those injuries? Or, simply transfer the impact-force into another part of the head, such as the brain?

The motorcycle helmet seem to have more cushy material inside, and thus makes me wonder if electric bikers (top speed 32KPH) should be using more protection.

Stats seem to indicate that bike helmets are no more than 40% effective on impact, imho. What about motorbike helmet -- they any better?

Thanks for all suggestions.

That oil, i guess , is still good as lubricant. Does it have any use with no aditional fancy recovery process? It just looks kind of dark.

I purchased this bike mainly for travelling to work, I've had it about 6 months and I'm very pleased, I would like to buy some accessories for it but they are difficult to find (UK), any ideas?
If you have this model bike what are your experiences riding, servicing or just having fun 'what do think' of the bike?

On the bottom of my ZXR 400 L9 there are two brackets that lock the bottom two fairings together (like a thin strip of aluminium/metal with two holes in it where screws go into the left and right fairing. Mine have frayed and need to get new ones to stop excess stress on the bike.
