Bike: 2008 Yamaha FZ1 Miles: 23000 So after replacing a set of sprockets and chain, the rear caliper on my bike felt spongy after re-installing them. Before that, it was working properly and had excellent bite. I figured air must have gotten into the line somehow, so tonight I put in new...

I've always wondered, and most recently with the wave of stolen motorcycles posted here on BARF, where does the life of a stolen motorcycle finally derive at? From a car perspective, I can imagine it being chop-shopped, broken down for parts, joy-ridden until the registration is expired, or...

With recent posts about lane-sharing, I'd like to know how many Barfer's still like to discuss lane sharing more than once a week. For those of us who do it we know the benefits outweigh the cons. I am using this data to support emotional relief for myself and others. :ride

Some more summer cleaning leads to selling Dainese Knee & Shin Guard combos. Can fit riders from 5'5" to 5'10", adjustable velcro straps for thigh and calf fitment. I'm 5'7" and it fits perfectly. It extends all the way from ankle to knees. Never been down, used lightly. Great for over...

Doing some summer cleaning, NIB clutch cable replacement for 2008+ Kawasaki KLR650's. Still in bag, never used. $15 (normally $25). Meet in SF, PM for meetup arrangement.

Doing some summer cleaning, I have a used all season Dainese textile jacket from about 4 yrs ago. In decent condition, it has seen pavement before but fixed with a patch. Shoulder and elbow protection, will come with quilted inner if I can find it. It is waterproof. Size 48, all black...

So I'm perusing for another bike to add to my stable. Ever since I started riding, $8k was about my top dollar I would spend on a semi-used bike. I have a long list of bikes I'd love to own for a short time, most being under this financial roof of $8k. Lots of deals can be had, especially...

On the fence on selling your ZRX? Well, I have cash in hand, looking for the right one. Looking for 2001-2004 models, non-lawson green. Prefer less than 20k miles if possible. If you have one and are considering a sale, I'd be more than interested. I have a possible 2011 KLR650 with full...

Last night driving in the evening commute on 280 South, I rode up on a Consulate car with a small flashing LED on the top of it's roof, similar to a blinking xmas tree light (that small but still visible). At first I thought it was a reflection of police lights, as it had blue and red it in its...

Around 5:15pm today, heading up 101 North in SF, you were on a red XR650 or equivalent, mid 90's era. You merged on around Cesar Chavez and lane splitted right in front of me. You did two head turn-arounds acknowlding me as if you were dreaming and didn't realize such a big bike was behind...

After having learned how to ride after 5 years, one thought still goes through my head that was never taught in MSF, never shared in a track day or talked about at a latte break (yet). Hypothetically, you are riding at a good clip, 65mph and your brakes completely fail (both F&R). In this...

Finished a nice group ride and found out you're the only one who showed up in jeans? For sale, brand new with tags in all black is a Dainese Delta Pelle Pro Estivo. I purchased this two seasons ago but soon realized I fit a 52 in all of the Dainese pants. Slimming down to fit this is not an...

(Moderators, feel free to move to this accordingly to the right forum if applicable) I sold this guy an SV650s through CL about a month ago and now he's selling it for even more back on CL. If you or a friend is checking it out, please be sure to ask if a valve adjustment has been done, carbs...

Just a fun hypothetical question for those who go ATGATT . . . You're riding over the San Mateo bridge (or any other open water bridge for that matter) fully suited, all leathers, boots, etc. An incident occurs and you find yourself heading straight for the side railing, eventually doing a...

Pictures to be posted later today. Have too many bikes and would like to entertain interested parties. I know I will regret this later but all good things must come to an end. 2001 SV650s in Burgundy Approx. 33,000 miles Third Owner, Clean Title All maintenance has been done by me over the...

Still can't believe this just happened to me. I parked my bike on 21st and Bartlett in the Mission to get something to drink. I glance back at my bike to make sure it's ok and whaddya know, here comes this guy on in a wheelchair with his feet stuck out in front of him. I start walking over...

SOLD! SOLD! I have a used Shoei RF-1000 that I received from motorcycle bundle I received. He threw it into the deal and I have no use for it since I wear a large. It's a Gloss black with slight scratches. Also has nose guard to protect you from the elements. Great as a passenger helmet or...

Reason #112400232 why it's great to ride: Pfiltering through World Series Celebration traffic tonight after Game 4 Sweep! My left thumb is sore from all the honking in Civic Center, 4th St, and teh Mission!!! Go Giants! That is all.

Thought this might be a long shot but if anyone has a spare rectifier for a first gen SV650 and would like to help me out, I'd be willing to trade for a six-pack or equivalent just to use it for Sunday. I'm volunteering for an event with said bike and may have to opt out if I'm unable to get...

This might be a repost but this is the first time I've ever seen this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?NR=1&feature=endscreen&v=rbS8WGYAhMA Unfortunately it's located in Australia, we need one here in the bay.
