So recently a car knocked my new to me 2017 FZ09 onto its right side, scuffing the clutch cover. After I picked it up and tried to put it in gear, the clutch wasn't fully disengaging and would lurch forward even when the lever was engaged. I have since tried to adjust the clutch cable both at...

With a week's rain in the forecast, I've found it interesting there is never any water classification motorcycles have in terms of being resistant to water (our jackets have more categorization than bikes!). Often, if there are any issues with bikes being temperamental, one of the basic...

Daily commuter and weekend warrior. 2008 FZ1, just broke 60k miles. Valve checks at 26k interval, last was done at 52k. About a week ago, my FZ1 will just die randomly, usually at freeway speeds at 60mph+. I recently replaced all spark plugs, all new OEM ignition coils. Have done it...

Thanks to the rider on the red SV this evening who pulled over after my bike died on 101N near Burlingame Ave. My bike fired right up after resetting the ignition and had no issues on the journey home. If you're on here, thank you for the gesture.

With the varying threads here recently on commuter bikes, I was wondering what BARFs take is on basic commuting bike philosophy. Growing up as a Gen Xer, it was the philosophy to buy a cheap, reliable car to eat up the miles for one's work commute. Have a used Honda Civic or Toyota Corolla and...

I have a '08 Yamaha FZ1, now at 58k. When I release the clutch lever in 1st from a slow stop and go, I will get a two-step click sound. It happens the majority of the time from stop and go and can only be replicated from stop and go. If I were to go from 2nd to 1st and come to a crawl, but...

If there's a more fitting place to put this, mods feel free to move. Looking for an experienced BMW owner to help me with my first valve adjustment on a BMW R1200RT ('08) here in the bay. It's coming up on 12k service and already had it's 6k from it's previous owner. Ideally, I'd ride to your...

I always wondered if this would ever happen . . and today it did by lordy. I was at the front of a very long light with about 10 cars deep. The light took forever. When it was close to our turn, I put the bike in gear and revved a little (not even 3k RPM blip). Instantly, a car two lanes...

Although it's "legal", what is the opinion of BARF to sell a motorcycle to a rider who only has a Motorcycle Permit? They are over 18 yrs old and it's a supersport motorcycle. Any hesitation or is it just like any private party sale? Is there anything I am missing if someone does not have...

Have USD forks that are way overdue for new fluids. I've read others recommending to use mineral spirits to clean out the internals. Is there any harm in taking a pressure washer to the tubes and springs with some degreaser? Obviously would leave overnight to hang dry.

Just curious, for those that have multiple bikes and sell used, do you ever tag along on the test ride with a potential buyer on another bike? I've never been in a situation where I can do this but now I have an opportunity. I would think 1) it helps the potential buyer with any questions...

So you have a bike that has taken you on all kinds of trips, been utterly reliable and has provided you many smiles for the miles. You have cranked the snot out of it and pissed on other bikes from the light. You know every niggle about it, from the replaced phillips screw with an allen bolt...
