I'm in the market for another multimeter, hopefully around $50 bucks. Is there a model you'd recommend? Typical tasks include checking resistance, continuity and voltage. I've seen some automotive multimeters that'll check tach, dwell and even RPMs-- how useful are those features? thanks...

When you buy a set of ball bearings, do they come with all the races? I'm replacing my GSXR600 front end. I almost have all the parts to install it, but I'm missing a part of the upper bearing that goes between the top ball bearing and the dust seal. The outer seal is already in the stem...

It's in pretty good condition, a few nicks from tire changes. i bought it for my SV, but my old rear wheel worked fine. Comes with rotor, sprocket carrier, sprocket and cush drive rubber things. The wheel is in Mountain View Local buyer prefered.

I just got my pocketbike running. I really don't like the idea of terrorizing my neighbors too much, are there local meets somewhere? I read about what happened to the Sunnyvale spot... My first ride was cut short due to a lean fuel condition...but my second ride was a blast.

I've bought several sets of front forks on eBay, and i've been wondering why many of the listings there offer the forks and the lower triple and the stem -- but not the upper triple? Are people saving the top triple for some reason? Do parts stores separate the upper triple to make more money...

I need to repair the fiberglass tailsection from a GSXR 600. It uses a foam pad instead of the stock seat. I've left it out in the sun, and hit the padding with a hair dryer to weaken the adhesive, but it's stuck on there pretty good. Any suggestions?

Are both headlights on at the same time and use 55/65 watt bulbs? I'm trying to add twin headlights on my SV-- but I don't want to overload the electrical system. Thanks.

I was reminded by Harpo's ad for his Arclight GSXR about reading that several years ago people were swapping out their 6-pot brakes for 4-pot binders... Anyways, the Arclight bike has RF900/4-pot nissin dealies found on the 1988-1992 or so GSXRs-- instead of the tokiko brakes, (4-pot or 6-pot)...

I've been wanting to change tires at home for a while -- but the first obstacle seems to be breaking the bead -- this morning i found a link to a sweet home bead breaker

on Market street, that sells those mini bikes, gas-powered scooters and stuff. I think it was Green something. It was between 4th street and 6th street, and it recently moved.. I have a coworker at TechTV that wants to do a story on pocket bikes today. thanks

if you had about $1200 to spend would you blow it on a few track weekends or a 7-day trip to europe/asia. pros / cons? This is barf - so i'm guessing people would say rent a bike wherever you go, otherwise barfers would go with the tracktime. me, i'm torn

I just bought a 2000 gixxer 600 with no front end. I want a set of upside down forks for the poseur value, and i'm looking at 750 SRAD forks. did suzuki make many changes in the forks between 1996 - 1999, should should be interchangeable, but are there ones which are lighter, or offer more...

seriously, some people have bikes, they aren't all pleased with, while others have a hard time thinking of another bike they'd want. Sure each year, the new models look really great, but is your 2002 GSXR6BR..whatever enough of a bike to keep you busy, and happy? So if you're in a monogamous...

Hey i bought a oxy/Acetylene welding kit off a fellow barfer --- anybody have recommendations for welding supplies, or filling up the bottles? I live in alameda. I plan to use it mostly as a cutting torch and sticking to my mig welder. thanks

Have a track day tomorrow (Saturday) at thunderhill, but the dumbasses at the shop screwed removing the chain clip, and puttig on a rivet. I'm guessing either the sprocket got bent, when he mechanic hit the clip with a hammer to knock it out, or the rivit is off somehow. If you can help /...

I spent the weekend building a fairing stay for my SV to fit the r6 fairing. First i thought, I had to use the pre-drilled holes and cut/bend/weld the fairing stay to reach those holes. Then i realized why not just drill new holes in the fairing. I remember mackystingray doing the same...
