  1. Check your carb bowl float height, could put a brick under front then back tires to see if either makes a difference first. With throttle held spray carb connections, choke boot with water and see if rpm changes for vacuum leak Does the fuel petcock open under vacuum and stop when off? I had a bad diaphram on my 650 with fuel going into the vac line. What's the voltage @ off/ lowest running rpm/higher rpm Also a bit of foam on that seat will make for easier sitting down after a ride.
  2. Sounds like it shares some parts with bmw f650. Looks like more of a tourer than a dual sport trail bike. 90/10 maybe Consider comparable bikes after you add the cost of maintenance, brakes and maybe new tires to the purchase price. At least it has FI, But fuel may have gummed up since last fall. A 50hp thumper can be fun with the right gearing. A dr650 could come in 60lbs lighter but then is carbureted.

  4. I hate working inside or outside. Would rather workout.
  5. Do you need to put something down to protect the wood floor from leaking oil?
  6. B trip meter for oil changes.
  7. An Orange 2010 Street Triple R. You and What and going to Prom (Spring Epic ride) in the same new dress http://ohioriders.net/index.php?/topic/107426-daytona-675/
  8. I'm using Bike Spirits wax spray now. It won a gear test after the previous favorite changed their formula http://www.webbikeworld.com/t2/motorcycle-chain-lube/original-bike-spirits-chain-lube/
  9. Spray the inside run of the chain as it'll work it's way out when spinning. I used to roll the bike then spray a section, roll again. Now I have a stand. Do not do it with the bike on and in gear if you like your fingers.
  10. Similar to their warning "tickets" i guess where they see you were warned once and get ticketed for real next time.. Though without knowing who was diving seems like it would only reflect on the registration not the licence.

    A lot of SV'er move on to S3's. Maybe If Suzuki updated the 12 yo SV instead of turning it into a woman's bike (gladius) people would trade up to newer ones.

    Superduke? Ever try pads on top the sv seat for less knee bend? (if you're going for the ass-up look anyway) There's also the buell footpeg mod for lower pegs but that also puts your feet out to the side more. I'd grab a repairable 675 for a streettona proper quick. It's a shame to tear apart a clean bike but they don't seem to hold their value as well as I 4's or even the street3's

  15. Women's hose are flammable too.
  16. How do so many car drivers not know how to drive one side between the middle of parking lot speed bumps for less of a bump?
  17. I was in a daze one morning parking at work and forgot to put the kickstand down . I leaned the bike over and it kept going. I was parked text to a curb that locked my foot in as the bike pushed my leg and the rest of me over... Into the hedges. They were too soft to push off of and too hard to let me reach the ground. The entire front of our building was 2 stories of glass windows. Everyone must have been at the watercooler making coffee because I wriggled out before anyone saw. I mount and dismount both from the left even when riding in left drive countries.
  18. I hate people doing that with their lawn clippings. I caught a neighbor using her leaf blower to blow leaves in her drive way from HER tree into our yard once. The wind usually did it anyway but kind of inconsiderate to think blowing them in our yard solved the problem. It doesn't, it just shift's it to someone else.
  19. It's a good night to snipe ebay auctions #fightofthecentury
  20. I'm welding up a front wheel drive recumbent right now, Even the spanx wearing cyclists laugh at recumbent riders. Makes it more fun dropping them in a sprint though. representin' Ride long enough to get chafing in your crotch once in normal clothes and you'll be willing to wear a tutu if it reduced friction.
  21. Watch out for free mail in tests @ home depot, just an excuse for rainsoft to trojan horse a sales rep inside for 2 hours
  22. I wonder how we'd do with Charles Barkley as president. http://time.com/3615832/ferguson-charles-barkley-scumbags/
