    How do you keep from putting weight on your inside wrist?

    I'm talking about from shortly after turn in until somewhere close to max lean. I notice myself needing to put weight on that inside wrist to support myself.

    HID/blue headlights on 99 R1

    Just bought a 99 R1 and the previous put different headlights in it I guess. When you look at the lights in the daytime, with the bike off, no lights on, the lenses look like they have some kind of blueish tint inside them somehow. Anybody have an idea of what this guy did? Seems like something...

    Peninsula Motorsports thumbs up!

    I called them last Friday around 5 pm and a guy named Keith answered the phone. I asked him if they could change a tire for me and he said sure, if you drop it off today I'll have it ready for you first thing in the morning. Sure enough, I dropped it off close to 6 and the next morning promptly...

    Overtightened rivet master link and split the ends

    Man, it did not take much at all, but as I was trying to splay/mushroom the end of the pin out over the outside link, I just clamped down on the ratchet a little bit too much, felt the tension ease off a bit, and after I loosened and removed the tool I find that the end of the pin is mushroomed...

    Is it "legal" to give chase here?

    i.e. do the departments, like chp, have a "no high speed pursuit" policy?

    Funny marks on rear tire

    I just got a used bike that's been sitting for quite some time. The suspension feels a little tired, like the first inch or two of travel is quickly taken up with little resistance and you're immediately on the "harder" end of it. Basically, it's not very plush. (It's a 99 R1 with 25K miles.)...

    Rusted/Corroded lower fork stanchions

    I just picked up a used bike and the bottom inch or so of lower fork tubes (USD forks) are badly corroded, with some rust on them. Can you polish that off, or remove it somehow? Seems like it would be hard on the fork seals the few times you compressed it down that far. (And one of the seals is...

    Banana in your tailpipe?

    Going to Laguna with Z2 Monday, but I don't have a stock pipe to mount. I bought a couple of strainers at the kitchen store today, and I'm thinking about putting a couple of rags in them and safety wiring them around the lip of the canister, so basically the outlet of the canister is covered...

    Which Dunlop compound at Sears?

    I have 6680 on front and rear right now. These are from last year. I think that's med front and hard rear? Have the numbers changed for this year? I've never heard of 6838 rear. I do remember 7704 med from last year. Isn't that what you want to run at Sears and BW? And so would you run a soft...

    brake hose question

    So I lost the original reservoir and hose to the master cylinder in a crash, and replaced the hose with some hose I bought that was labeled as "fuel hose," figuring if it can withstand gasoline it can withstand brake fluid. I think maybe I was wrong about that. I bled the whole system, got a...

    Replacing caliper seals

    In order to remove the pistons from the caliper, the few service manuals I've seen recommend squirting some compressed air into the hole where the line bolts in, with a block of wood against the opposite side pistons. Is there another way, say, if you don't have air? Can you just pump the lever...

    Spies 2011 World Champion?

    What's the dealio? As soon as he signs for the factory ride for the following year they give him all the really trick parts and he promptly puts the thing on the pole, leads half the race, and takes 2nd? Poor Colin, but what a career. Jorgay will be crying on his twitter page next year. And did...

    transponder question

    i bought a used amb TranX 260, the rechargeable kind. I think it must be a bit older, it doesn't look like the kind the AFM rents you, with the little R clip through the hole. The guy said this one has to be mounted upright, and it has a hole in the casing at the top and a little protrusion in...

    Paypal question

    Sorry to post this here but I know a lot of guys don't read any other forums, plus we buy more used parts than most probably. Anyway, bought $1300 worth of parts from some dude in NY - forks, triples, swingarm, subframe, etc. The goods all came fine (haven't actually unboxed the forks though)...
