    What do you do in this situation?

    After reading the thread in general asking what the most common rider errors, I came across a post about going into a turn too fast for your own comfort level. It mentioned rolling off the throttle or braking mid corner as a mistake, but didn't mention any alternatives. My only error in my MSF...

    Bike wouldn't turn over this morning

    It sure tried, but the battery just couldn't muster the energy. Looks like I need a new battery, this one is ~6 years old. I would prefer a smaller one because of the gsxr shock swap, but not necessary. What kind should I get? Don't really want to have to deal with putting my own acid in and...

    Setting tire pressures

    I had a quick question about it, I usually check mine while on stands because it's easier to get to the valves. But recently I thought afterward when the bike is dropped off the stand, and the tires are in contact withthe ground that might increase pressure? Does the weight of the bike add...

Bike was setup with an off brand aftermarket exhaust (Hard rock motor sports - not recommended), flush mount signals and a fender eliminator (right above the rear wheel). Also had a led brake light that did some...

    wiring questions

    I'm replacing the license plate assembly and blinkers for my bike, it's a 2008 ninja 250. For the blinkers I'm planning to use male/female wire adapters to splice between the main harness and the actual blinkers, so when i take off the fairings i can just unplug them. The only ones I've been...
