Hey guys, I just walked out to my bike and found another rider (non barfer) trying to start his bike but someone cut the ignition wires so obviously it won't start. Would someone be able to get his bike back home? He's at Jessie and 2nd in the financial district and lives in potrero hill, so...

I've been really tempted for the past month to get a new exhaust for my motorcycle. However, I'm kind of worried about the potential theft of the bike since it sit on a street in SF all day while I'm at work. I am often one of the last to leave at night (around 9 pm most days) so it'd be ripe...

This weekend I decided to adjust the chain on my FJ for the first time (950 miles or so). The chain seemed fine before adjusting (about 1" of slack, which is about what I'm used to from my last bike), but the Yamaha manual says chain slack should be 5-15 mm (.2-.59"). I've never seen any bike...

***GONE*** I'm selling my Orient Rainbow Disk automatic watch. This is a cool watch that has a disk with a cutout instead of an hour hand, so the hour hand changes color every hour. It has a green-tinted exhibition back as well, which looks pretty cool. Overall it's a pretty unique watch, and...

I don't follow MotoGP that much, but apparently there's a rule that disallows VVT on MotoGP bikes. Suzuki has found a way around that rule and is bringing VVT to their MotoGP and GSXR1000 bikes. I thought this article that explains all of it was very interesting...

Today I rode the FJ-09 on some real twisty roads for the first time, just up and down Page Mill and was just wondering how to properly turn on a touring/upright motorcycle. I'm used to the more forward position of my F4i, and on that bike I'd lean off the bike to keep it more upright in the...

***SOLD*** ***Will consider trade for a 5 speed Subaru wagon*** Didn't think I'd be posting this up for sale so quickly, but I've just bought another bike and need to part with this one. The bike currently has ~23k on it and will keep going up as I commute on it. I bought it in June with 8k...

My chain seems to be getting at the end of its adjustable range (the little picture on the swingarm says it's almost time to replace it and shouldn't be adjusted out much further), so I want to get a chain and sprocket kit. Which would be the best option? I've been reading that aluminum...

Selling my JVC KW-R910BT headunit and stock speakers out of an NC Miata without Bose. The JVC was bought in February of this year and works flawlessly. General features: CD receiver with built-in MOSFET amplifier (22 watts RMS/50 peak x 4 channels) built-in Bluetooth for hands-free calling...

Hey guys, My '06 F4i isn't starting this morning. It was functioning fine up till today morning (no warning signs and it's my daily commuter), but today when I went to start it to go to work, it wouldn't catch. It just kept on cranking. I can hear the fuel pump turn on when I press the kill...

I'm selling the OEM plastic off my F4i. I decided to change the color and bought some China fairings, so these have been sitting in my garage. They are in decent shape but have some rash, and the tail section has a crack that I expertly fixed with duct tape on the inside of the fairing. I don't...

During my ride to Hawthorne, I found out just how uncomfortable my F4i was for long distance riding. I was dead set on selling it as soon as I got back home, but was talked into keeping it and putting some work into it to make it more comfortable. I decided to get rid of the clip ons and get...

Today on the way to work my clutch started to feel weird. It's much softer than normal and while the amount of free play seems OK (maybe a bit looser), when I release the lever, it doesn't go back all the way out. It seems to stop a bit before it's fully out, and I have to push it the rest of...

For sale: Momo Mod08 (85 mm dish) and Mod78 (36 mm dish). Selling two 350mm Momo wheels. Both in great condition, no rips, tears, scratches, etc on the leather and only have minor marks from mounting. $140/each

Well, I finally did it. Dropped my bike like a dumb fucking idiot, one week after getting my China fairings I waited 2 months for. :thumbdown It was all because I couldn't hold my fucking piss back and damn near peed myself on the way home. Finally got home, tried to throw the kickstand down to...

Just wondering if I need new tires now. The Hawthorne Rally is in two weeks and I want to make sure I don't have to worry about tires during the ride. I don't mind buying new tires but at the same time if the tires I have on now are good, I don't want to throw them away for no reason. They are...

Selling my Kosei K4R wheels and tires. Wheels are 17x8. Wheels are very lightweight, only 14.8 lb! No bends or cracks on any wheels, only very minor paint imperfection/curb rash on two wheels (tried to take pics). One tire has been plugged but doesn't leak and still have a lot of tread left...

Selling my Icon Overlord textile jacket. I used it for about a month, but it was way too big, so I ended up buying another jacket that actually fit me. It's in good condition with no rips or tears. Comes with the liner and all the armor (no back protector). $100 OBO, or trade for a front...

Is there any place that can stitch a zipper onto the backside of my Revit Axis textile overpants so I can zip it to my jacket? I don't want the jacket to slide up in a crash. The jacket is a Dainese jacket so I'd need to find a compatible zipper as well (or, ideally, the shop could just source...

I'm looking for new tires and have settled on these two (though I am open to other suggestions). I'm looking for a high mileage sport touring tire for my F4i. Most of my riding is freeway or city, with occasional twisties (I'm still a relatively new rider so no knee dragging yet, and I'm not...
