Maybe you learn to coutersteer from bicycles, I don't know about the balancing thing.

I want to know if a person who didn't ride a bicycle as a child learned to ride a motorcycle.
Did you smash into alot of things? Or did you catch on to counter-steering easily?
C'mon if you did'nt have a bike, what did you ride, a pony?

I recently bought my first bike and have noticed that after riding for about 15-20 minutes, when I come to a stop (stop sign) and have clutch lever pulled in (engaged) the bike idles 2,000 - 2,500 rpms and seems jumpy. If I ease out the clutch and let the bike roll about 6 inches, then re-engage the clutch the idle will drop down to about 1,000.

Assuming this isnt normal - but could this be carberators needing cleaned? or a tune up needed? I called my local Yamaha dealer and was told that they will not service this bike because it is over 10 yrs old....(great....not)

Only idles high like this when engine is warm (after 15-20 minutes riding) and when stopped with clutch engaged waiting to take off.

The bike is my buddies and i am hoping to buy it from him for my boyfrind for christmas. The peice where you put the key in to sart was ripped off, so we put the red and black wires on a toggle* switch. sorry for the spelling* Are those the only wires needed on the switch? there are other loose wires. the lights turn on and the engine tries to turn over, but i just wont crank! any help or suggestions would be helpful, thanx.

I am the sole employee of the parts dept in the motorcycle dealership I work at.
I have been running the dept for months. The dealership is in the process of changing hands and the new owners want me to train a new guy, starting tomorrow, that has no experience in the bike biz and knows nothing about motorcycles.
Then they want to make him the dept. mgr. My boss! I have been wanting that job since it became available but the current owner, the one that's selling out, has been trying to sell out and hasn't really given a crap about the dept. since he decided to sell. So he hasn't bothered giving me the official title of Dept Mgr.
I know I'm getting screwed, but my question is: should I train him? If not, then what should I do about it?

I've just had my Shadow fork seals replaced (Honda dealer), and I notice faint oil rings after every time I ride. Should I expect this, and if so, is it enough to just wipe them clean regularly? Anything else I should be doing? Thanks.

My son has recently bought a Honda NS125F (liquid cooled) and the head gasket has gone. He bought another, but on trying to fit it he found that the engine had been re-bored at some point and the standard gasket won't fit.

What's the best way to overcome this problem please?

So i posted a question saying i want a v-rod and everyone says its too hard to handle for a new rider. So what kind of harley should I get? It HAS to be a Harley, NOTHING ELSE!!! I want a nice one, and one with a loud engine. I crave that sound!! I'm 15 years old, female. And I DO have enough money, of my own, to buy a sportster right now, or something else, used. But I'm still going to save up.

So what type would be good for a girl beginner? I DON'T WANT ANYTHING SISSY/GIRLY, I want something tough, something that looks tough also.

Thanks!!

Imagine it's 7º Celcius outside, and you got a cheap jacket. Now you're riding the bike to work. Roads are not wet or icy. You can reach it in 10 mins if you speed. You can take 20 mins if you go regular speed. But if you speed...you get more wind, and more cold. But if you slow down, its less cold incomming, but for a bigger period of time. What is better ? Or is it the same ? ( Not fair answering: Get a better jacket/equipment/transport )

when you start it is kinda boggy , but then soon as you hit around 60 it all comes together and is really fast. the carbs have been cleaned and rejetted by a local shop, but maybe still to big?
