Havent really noticed anything until today after fueling up with some 91 from a World Gas station. First time it has ever died on me was immediately after fueling at that gas station and it keeps happening to me today. First thought: shitty gas from a shitty station that probably doesn't sell...

My buddies gray/blue FJ-09 was stolen some time Sunday or Monday out of his parking garage at his housing complex near Almaden Expressway and Blossom Hill Road. I know it's a long shot but keep an eye out. It has metallic givi hard cases and that's it for distinguishing features unfortunately...

Bought a chain and sprocket set for my ninja 1000 and have been wanting to throw it on for weeks, but can never find the time to get to it. The more I look at my sprocket though, and the longer I go without changing them due to being too busy ... i am considering just doing the chain. I've...

On wednesday I was hit by a work truck on Mission blvd in Hayward, which damaged the left side of my bike and caused me to lose balance and fall. I managed to hop off of my bike as it fell and stayed on my feet suffering no injuries. My bike, however, has a hole in its stator cover and...

I am looking for preferably a klr650 or drz400 (or dr650?) in decent working condition, but can be the ugliest damn bike on the planet as long as it runs, has a non-bent frame. My goal is something in the ballpark of or under 2k. I am using my ninja 1000 as a courier bike right now and racking...

Looking for a tank bag, preferably the swmotec ones. Anybody have one kicking around?

Last night I hit a rather deep pothole on the westbound golflings offramp on 580 and got a lovely bend in my rim now. I was able to ride it to work this morning, but ai know that's a mediocre idea at best. I work down the road from Wheelworks though, so hoping to drop by after work. I've heard...

There was a rather deep pothole that I hit this evening on the Golf Links Rd exit on westbound 580 tonight. All of the asphalt at the start of that offramp is chewed up in general so I didn't see the pothole until it was too late. There is a SIGNIFICANT bend in my front wheel from hitting that...

I'm interested in trying to pick up an FZ-09 for my next bike. I'm kind of torn as to whether to go new (and get the coverage that a warranty brings) or go used and save a few grand up front. If anybody knows of any FZ-09's for sale, let me know. I'm looking to grab something in the...

I've heard a lot of negative comments about the fz-09 having a bouncy-castle like suspension that makes it feel somewhere less than solid in a tight corner. While I heal I keep waffling back and forth as to whether to get an fz-09 or spend more and get the XSR-900 or the GSX-S1000F from Suzuki...

So sadly my beautiful blue chariot has vroomed her last vroom according to the insurance company. The damage is too extensive to make repair or salvage much worth it. I was seriously hoping that I would get away with damage that was worth getting the salvage and turn her into a project bike but...

Here I sit with my toe bent back like a velociraptor and a swollen ankle waiting for my x-ray glad as hell that I had my helmet cam running. A police officer barely missed witnessing the whole thing but verified that my story matched the damage better than the other guy. I was riding at about...

Suddenly my speedometer is going kind of weird on me. It acts normal for a bit but lagging a tad behind in reporting my speed (so if I accelerate it doesn't read the speed increase for about a half second or less) which doesn't seem too terrible, but when I slow down it suddenly jumps all over...

So, I got some new SW-Motech frame sliders for my 2013 ninja 650 and fucked up my install a tad. There are two screws utilized by the frame sliders to install the brackets with each one being held in place by a nut that fits into a little section on the engine preventing the nut from turning so...

I feel as though I've heard that some oils can make your engine rattle louder somewhere before so not particularly worried, just wanting to check in with more experienced folks. Just did a full change on my ninja 650 with mobil 1 full synthetic 10w40 oil and noticing a good deal more rattle in...

I have a 2013 ninja 650 and starting about a week ago it's been making a kind of high pitched humming noise that seems to come from right under the gas tank toward the front. I feel like I notice it more when the bike is cold and warming up or even when it's been ridden for a while on...

The last few weeks I've noticed my gas tank is lasting less and less time out on the road, and decided to try riding like a grandpa to see if it's just me riding it too hard. Riding it hard (85mph avg on freeway) I was getting around 38mpg. Now around town on this tank I've been averaging about...

Long shot here but I split with some dude on some form of street fighter wearing a white helmet from sj up to berkeley before he split off. Just wanted to say good riding with you! Every time I thought you split off to exit or got bogged down between cars, you'd just show up again. I was on a...

http://i.imgur.com/N1QyOM8h.gif So this is a quick gif of what's going on. My chain seems to deviate side to side in one section or the chain, but it doesn't seem like the alignment or sprocket. When I was installing this chain I overtightened the face plate of my master link and had to give it...

After changing out my front brake pads I've been having a pretty irritating buzzing noise, and I can't tell if it's in my brakes or somewhere else and just happened to occur after I did my brakes. At first I was thinking it was one of the cotter pins in the bolt that holds my brake pads in...
