Hi BARF, I just got a new-to-me FJ-09 and am fixing it up. Love the bike, hate the rim color. I have the blue, but would like the black. Let me know if you have the black and would like the blue. It's a longshot, I know. I'll throw in a six pack and can help with the removal. Bike is a 2016...

Fellow Racers, my truck wouldn't start at Buttonwillow late on Sunday after round 1. While fixing to get towed out of the park (they were closing the gates) I handed my transponder to someone who tried to help me start it, and he said he would return it. I just got notice from the AFM that my...

Anyone know Matt's handle on BARF? He needed some help but I don't have his contact info. Wanted to make sure he is squared away fro R1. I think his race number is 611. Thanks! Charles

Dear Garage, just got another 08+ R6 engine for the racebike from ebay. 12k miles claimed, seemed in decent shape from pics and description. 30 day guarantee. After cleaning, first thing I checked was valve clearance: all intakes perfect, all exhaust valves interfering: not great. Re-shimmed to...

Dear garage, just introduced the new-to-me R6/4.5 to Sears yesterday with Z2. The bike is awesome, had a great time. But I’d like to slip more in 7 and 11: rear wheel squeal, hop and stutter. Can’t get the bike settled in time to make the turn well. I’ve already done following clutch spring...

Fellow racers, I have a friend who is doing his first trackdays next tuesday and wednesday with Keigwins (novice school). One used to be able to rent leathers at Helimot, but he no longer does. Insurrection used to at T-Hill, but I heard they moved out. So where can someone rent leathers these...

WTF Yamaha, a dipstick? I just changed my oil and filter for the second time on my new-to-me racebike. Pro: oil filter not located over headers. Con: you have to use a dipstick to measure level. I didn't know the sight window on most bikes was such a luxury. I'm sure there's a good reason for...

I did this this morning and the guy I passed got next to me at the next light and told me it was illegal. So I did some research and couldn't find a definitive thread/answer for this specific situation, which I face several times a day. Here is the deal: in Berkeley we have a lot of...

SOLD Its posted in the regular classifieds, but it is an AFM racebike: http://www.bayarearidersforum.com/forums/showthread.php?t=483268 Charles

SOLD! Up for sale is my beloved gsxr450 racebike. She's AFM prepped and ready to go. I did the 450 conversion myself, this is the kind with ground cams and air-spring cylinder. If you don't know about this, it’s a sweet mod you can do to your 600 to make it a 450 so as to run in the 450...

Hi LEOs, got a speeding ticket today. Can I go to court, plead guilty, pay fine and do community service instead of traffic school to remove the point? Traffic school is a waste of time that could be used more positively for the community. I'm not asking to do CS to reduce the costs or get away...

Hi Garage, looks like the tranny on my 93 F-350 is dead. I did some basic troubleshooting, and she still slips in all gears. Additionally, one of the heads leaks oil and could use an overhaul. Specs: 1993 Ford F-350, crew cab, long bed, 4x4, with a non-factory-turbo 7.3 IDI, E4OD and...

Dear General, I'm riding up and over to see the races this September and meeting up with FIL (who's riding up from Texas) to see the air races. Any recommendations for good moto/tent camping near Reno Stead? 40-50 mile radius, prefer something with water, don't mind paying for it. Also, rolling...
