Let's say a dealership has a brand new bike in stock and a recall is issued for it. When do they do that recall fix? Is it common to wait until after they sell it and doing pre-delivery steps? Or would some (most?) dealerships be more pro-active and fix it before a buyer comes along? I...

So that dealership in Vegas, always running dozens of ads, they have low advertised prices and crazy high fees ... just add a -doorstep in your craigslist search and no more of their ads! :) And I doubt some other great craigslist bike happens to have "doorstep" in their ad. The...

Just bought a new Suzuki V-Strom 1000 from them. What a total smooth, laid back, and pleasant experience! I had been looking at used vstroms and new ones. At other dealers, I would see some great advertised price, call up and find out they add tons of fees so that the deal is no longer a...

38mm forks, 10" travel, from a 1984 XR250R. I used these to upgrade an older drum brake dirt bike to a disk brake front. Very easy upgrade for any older bike with 38mm forks. The good: I had them set up by Aftershocks, he put in stiffer springs, added the RaceTech Cartridge emulators, and...

It seems the ride share sites are getting more usage ... so I was thinking of getting a bike and renting it out on those sites. Goal would be to get a bike I could have some fun on (when not rented out) and it could be a zero dollar bike, meaning I'd rent it enough to pay for the bike and...

For many years I've been buying used bikes and doing most work on them myself ... occasionally taking them to non-dealers, like SCC for tires or a suspension place for revalve/refresh of shock/fork. I've recently bought a few new motorcycles and have been reading about warranty work and the...

I'm trying to rebuild a Sachs shock and can't find some parts I need. The hardest to find is the reservoir end cap. (Different diameter from KYB and Showa) Anyone have an old Sachs collecting dust in your garage? :) Thanks

Any Sachs experts in the Bay Area? I could just start calling around, but figured you guys might know a shop to recommend. The bike is a Moto Guzzi Griso, so sort of an odd machine. But has a Showa fork and Sachs shock. Compression stack is too firm, and high speed comp is set up for I don't...

Hello all. I've owned/ridden motorcycles for ~40 years but have very rarely taken a bike to a large dealership for work (usually do the work myself or go to small independent repair shops). I have a situation I want to run by the barf'ers and get some opinions. - I bought a brand new street...

I never used this much. Batteries got to the point where they don't work anymore. So would need a new battery to get this going again.
