Welcome!

Love it! Looking to add the big brother to my stable soon.

Saturday

Try bypassing the tip over sensor, inertia switch, or whatever Kawasaki calls it. Maybe it is going bad, although this would be a first for me.

I am ready, 1000 miles this week and ready for more! Glad the fall ride is going on, always fun. Are we making a stop in Coshocton with the really NE riders as in the past? If so 7:00 meet in Wooster and 7:30 KSU to hit Coshocton by 8:30 or we will be pushing time.

Check the brake side wheel bearing.

Operator error! all kidding aside, Ray is correct that the bike specific cleaners including Simple Green can stain black plastic. Simple Green will attack aluminum and damage the surface in a very short time. It is always best to spray water on the area to be cleaned fist then apply cleaner of choice and start scrubbing right away. This allows some dilution and eliminates spotting in most cases. ALWAYS clean small areas at a time and rinse immediately.

It's my favorite and it's made in Cleveland!

Simple green attacks aluminum and can be hard on some finishes. If motor is painted I would stay away from brake clean. Simple dish soap is mild and will clean as good as any bike specific cleaner. If you want to buy something S100 or Bike Brite work great.

No mysterious about what group you will ride...

Welcome!

How are the wheel bearings? Have seen bikes on a stand show little to know drag but when set down drag badly.

Sorry to hear, this is the best riding weather Ohio has to offer.

Welcome to the forum and welcome back to riding. Your previous bikes tell the story of how long you've been out. Enjoy and be safe!

I think you may be on to something.

Party Plates!

No over moderation and didn't even hit for the grammar mistake! What the hell happened to you?

You only need "click bait" if your content or video or music in said video sucks. @Tonik add a poll as to weather people want music or to hear the bike!

Do you even ride street any more?

You are a solid medium. And could easily do medium fast.

My kids go to Buckeye, Medina sucks. The numbers you posted are base numbers and I will not argue, but when taking total "all capital" school budgets into account and dividing by enrollment the numbers go up considerably. My point is, urban schools are spending more money and getting nothing in return. Throwing money is not the answer. More education is the answer, that does not equate to more money. I never hear anyone pushing revamping the urban schools and going a different approach, it's always more cash. The other big problem is, what is good for one district is not good for other districts. We end up implementing across the board and then the schools and families who were excelling get brought down. It ends up being a race to the lowest common denominator. Disband the Federal Department of education let the states handle were how and who. The demographics and needs of students vary widely throughout the country and boiler plate does not work. Total agreement that it starts at home! More failed lets throw money at it social programs. The system was designed to keep you down. We see that it has kept a whole demographic down and is now expanding to new demographics. At what point do you stop defending it and realize there is a reason welfare was created, the party that created it, and the party the recipients vote for? Once everyone realizes, then understands that nobody want to stop helping kids or the parents, we can actually start having real conversations of how we can have a safety net but not support cradle to grave and actually lower poverty. You will also have to except that some people choose to be poor and nothing can change this mentality.

Certainly won't deny we have over spent in the Middle East militarily and socially. That money needs to stay home, but increasing and doubling down on failed social programs is certainly not the answer. We keep paying more and more to social problems and the social problems keep getting bigger and deeper. We are to a point now where illegal immigrants take welfare and also work illegally under the table and never pay into a system that is breaking the country. This takes jobs from legal welfare recipients and the system just keeps spiraling out of control. We have thrown tons of money at education and it changes nothing. Akron city schools is at 20k+ per student per year compared to the 8k per student per year for the local school my kids attend and Akron test scores, graduation rate, and college rate keeps dropping. This goes for all urban school districts. The whole welfare and education system as designed is not working and no amount of money will fix it. You are ignorant or lying to yourselves if you think more social money will change anything other than a votes.

Jealousy and social justice. People like to forget this country promises equal opportunity not equal results.

Yes

Thanks...it's a mess...to many bikes and mopeds!
