Nitromethane is an additive that is used for RC planes. Alot of people use RC fuel because the Nitromethane makes the gasoline more explosive and a very noticable difference in performance and MPG.

You can get different fuels where the Nitromethane varies from 10 to 40 percent. I burned the valve guides/valves a little on my Honda Civic but just curious if anyone used it on their bike and in what concentration so not to wreck anything.

I've been riding for over 20 years and I still think that many 4 wheelers' lack knowledge.

i have a 99 gsxr 600. i have had bad luck with getting this thing running right. i took it to a mechanic, and he just made it worse...definatly will not be going back to him, but anyways, i found a good friend who works on these bikes. had him clean and resynchronize the carbs. the bike has yoshi pipe and headers, and k&n filter. so we rejetted it to what the recommended jets are for these custom items. now i am having a problem with the bike running extremely rich, (shooting flames out the exhaust). also when i start it, the rpms stay at around 4-5k for atleast 30 seconds, and then when i mess around with the idle adjustment, it goes down. everytime i rev the bike up, the rpms stick at around 4-5k until i let out clutch. but then when coming to a stop, it will die. we replaced the needles in the carbs, and made sure it was jetted right. what could be causing this problem? any help would be great, thanks!!!

20,000 mi
Good tires
Chain drive
fair condition

Asking price: $500.00

I've never had a bike before. I want a starter for $500 or less. I can do wood work all day long, but never touched mechanics.

Would this be a good starter? Thanks in advance! :-)

To begin with, I'm 17 and have had my license for half a year. I have ridden dirt bikes since I was 5, enduros since I was 13, and a 2002 Suzuki Intruder 800 for the entire 6 months, as well as a 2007 Ninja 650r for a week, amassing almost 400 miles on it. I was also the passenger on a gsx-r 750 for more than two years. Giving my experience, or lack thereof, I was wondering which motorcycle I should get; a Honda Cbr 600rr or a Kawasaki Zx-6r? The Ninja 650r felt rather slow, and within the week I outgrew it(thankfully it wasnt mine). Can anyone help me? I will use the bike mostly for day to day city driving, but my father and uncle both own Gsx-r's (a 2003 750 and a 2007 1000 respectively), and occasionally we go riding, if you know what I mean. Which bike would be better suited to my needs?

I just bought this a Yamaha Virago 920, it is my first bike, I have no manual and need help with some simple maintenance questions. It has an oil leak, starter sounds bad, has no dipstick (how do you check oil level?) what type of oil do I use, does it require a higher octane fuel, location of oil plug? Are there any other quirks or problems with this model I should know about or be wary of?

Can anyone please tell me what the tappet clearances are and which are the correct spark plugs (in UK) and what their gap should be on a 1996 Honda CD250 U Hornet? I know the tappet clearance for earlier models was 0.08mm but suspect it changed on the model I am interested in. Also where you obtained the info? Thanks for any help.

When cleaning and lubing your chain do you use chain wax or chain lube(oil)?

Which do you think is better and why?
