Hi all. I've had my '87 CBR 600 for a few months now and have noticed that it consumes oil alarmingly fast, semi-blind guess is 1/2 qt. every one to two weeks. I've ruled out a leak-I've never seen oil under it and there are no obvious leaks, so I assume that means it's burning it. My question is, short of replacing my O-rings and/or the valves, what can I do to slow the rate at which it burns? I've read that using a synthetic oil with a higher flash point can help reduce it, can anyone second that advice? Not gonna lie to myself, I'm pretty sure I'm headed straight for an O-ring or valve change, but I'm looking for some inexpensive ways to put this off for a while. Thanks!

I just took my Shadow to get service, at a Honda dealer. Turns out I need a carb overhaul, which will cost around $200. I don't know much about bikes except how to ride them, so I don't know what to think about this. I've never noticed anything strange about how the bike rides. They say it's affecting the idle speed and how the bike starts, but I've never had these problems. I'll admit it could be something I'm not aware of, but I don't want to pay for this if I'm being misled.

Is it normal for a Yamaha to have a gas smell after the engine is turned off and parked. It is a carbed engine. It seems to run fine

The previous owners always had the BMW shop service this bike. I plan on doing my own maintainance and I know that there are good quality oils on the market that are 3 times cheaper than the BMW brand name stuff that will work just as good. I ran Castrol in my Suzuki for 10 years with no problems, except for the ones I got from the Suzuki mechanics about how I would ruin my bike if I ran anything other than Suzuki brand motor oil in it. I am getting the same speil from BMW. I do want to take care of this bike and I will spring for BMW oil if I have to, I just need to know what a good oil is so as not to cause any damage to my ride. Thanks for the help.

2928 South State Street, SLC, UT 84115 Phone:801-487-4647. Just received a nice glossy brochure from Joe Timmons, the owner. He invites me to join in the 2007 FALL RIDE.. O.K. fine, sounds great until you you read the fine FINE print. "Riders must pay in advance by Sept. 26 with release forms. Only Harley-Davidson, Buell or SuckerPunch Sallys motorcycles are invited, no other makes or models can register! Is this a way to bring bikers together as a solid group? I have bought 3 Harleys from Joe and this irritates me beyond words. I also own a Yamaha. My question is this. Is the way that Joe Timmons, the owner and operater of a LARGE Harley dealership network correct in restricting other riders from participating in any rides? What would happen if I pulled up on my Yammy during Timmons group ride? Just curious. Contact Joe @ www.utahharley.com

Ok battery went dead. New battery fitted not long ago. New rectifier also. Checked the output from the alternator and seems fine with 13.5 - 14.5 volts AC.(Before the connector block,so getting feed from the Alternator) When I connect the connector block from the alternator to the rectifier back up it only reads around 4.5 AC. Is this normal? Had this problem a few months ago and it was a lose connection at the connector block. Ive checked them and they seem fine as when I check output voltage at the block(disconnected) the voltage is as above.Its only when I connect it al back up that I get this reading.
Anybody?????????

Got a Honda CG125 and got practical test tomorrow - I'm sorted for safe driving, its just I know they ask you some basic operations and maintainence questions which I have no idea

Can anyone tell me how to check the brake fluid levels? What points have they got to be between?

Also can't find the engine cut out switch - maybe my bike doesn't have one?

P.S. Don't say look at the manual as am still turning the house upside down to find it.

Mucho thanks

today i went out riding my scooter on a country road for about 40 miles (scarborough to whitby then back) at first i was going about 35mph on my way to whitby, i wasnt comfortable doing anything over since i am new to scooting. on the way back i was going at about 40mph, is this too slow. Loads of cars where piling up behind me and overtaking me on the way back and when they overtook me i got a few funny looks. Is 40mph too slow on a country road, bearing in mind that i have an old 1986, 125cc honda scooter??? or is 50mph acceptable and is it worth riding at 50mph on a scoot without loosing control of the scoot

I'm 18 years old and am in love w/ the 600R. I'm currently riding a 500cc cruiser but was planning on getting the YZF after I finished college in under 3 years. I went to the site and for 2008, its not among the models. Honda doesn't list the 600F4I anymore either? Does this mean anyone who wants a performance 600 without back problems is going to be out of luck from here on out?
