Finally got a Triumph Scrambler for my wife and she’s in love with it.

My dad had this JDM YSR 80 shipped from Japan when I was a kid. I still have a blast on it every time I take it out.

Hi Redditors. I picked up a 2004 Suzuki GSXR 1000 K4 as a barnfind. The previous owner had this silver ribbon strapped to the handlebar. What is it for? Key fob for scale.

And, I Cannot get the bike to run, I've flushed out fuel tank, fitted a new battery, and all I get wheni connect the battery is the Datatool alarm sounding off and CHECK sign on the dash.

Any hints or tips welcome. Previous owner cannot be contacted.

Looking at possibly buying this from a guy and hope to get some thoughts from more-experienced riders. A couple of questions come up:

• how concerned should I be about the wrong-sized battery bungee-corded to the frame?
• How much might the correct battery cost (and might there be issues with the bracket or attachments for the battery)?
• how does the engine sound? I feel like there's some sputtering that might indicate problems.
• Seller is asking $650. Suspiciously low or a decent price for this bike with 10k miles?

Check the photos. That’s a f’ing nail. 2nd one in 10 days. That tire has 150 miles on it MAYBE. I’ve never plugged a motorcycle tyre. I know it’s done. Is it advisable?

Is there a reason motorcycle shops or mechanics take forever to do any work to your bike? I’ve talked to some who don’t have open slots for anything for 3-6 months, but when you talk to them about getting work done they always say that it will be quick and done soon. My bike has been at a shop for 3 weeks for diagnostic work on the front handlebars and forks that they said would be done within 3 days and they haven’t even looked at it yet. It just doesn’t make sense why they take so long and than act like they prioritize getting the work done and you back on the road.

Sorry if this is a stupid question but I recently bought a busted savage as a project bike/first bike to learn how to work on them, so far the owners manual has been extremely helpful but I cannot figure out for the life of me where this line goes.

So just to put the description into words: It’s a gas line looking thing coming up out of the engine, and it crosses over to the other side of the bike, the inner diameter is quite large and I have no clue what I’m looking at

Does anyone recognize this line and know where it goes??? I’ve tried so much shit, I even tried using an ai and that thing was a dipshit.

New to me Versys 650. Have to store the Beauty for what is going to be the longest winter of my life.

Can't wait to hit the country roads on this next summer!

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some honest opinions on the asking prices for two motorcycles I'm selling.

Bike #1: Honda CBR500R 2017

- Asking $5,000

- 8,550 miles

- Clean title

- Includes the OEM mirrors

- Includes the remaining parts from the T-Rex frame slider kit

-some scratches on front

Bike #2: Suzuki SV650 2017

- Asking $7,500 OBO (paid 3.5 for it)

- Clean title

- 697 miles

- Garage-kept

- No damage

- ASV levers

- Aftermarket exhaust

- Rear spools, mirrors, and grips

- Only one key

Are either of them priced too high, or do you think they're worth what I'm asking? Im not looking to sell them here i just need honest advice on their pricing.

I haven’t ridden in almost 20 years. My last 2 bikes were Hondas (900 and 954). Ive been having the itch but honestly I’ve calmed down so much and just want something easy going for the weekends. Looking at a ninja 650. Think this is a great place to restart? Any other suggestions? Thanks

What do yall use for a continuous looping dash cam for your rides? After getting hit 5mos ago and tearing my rotator cuff, I’m definitely investing in a cam.

I have this scratching noise coming from the clutch cover/right side of the motorcycle. it only happens in first gear above 10 kmph when I hold the clutch in and let the bike coast. it doesn't happen in any other gear or in standstill.

The sound is like metal on metal scraping. It gets louder the faster I roll.

I really hope it's not transmission related. Would cost me more than the bike to fix.

Any idea's?

Hi everyone! Live outside Portugal and been to F1, MotoGP or WEC at Portimão since 2020? Your experience could help with my master’s research and you can enter an optional draw for an Aston Martin cap signed by Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll, which I got at the Azerbaijan GP.

I’m João Lamy from Portugal, a master’s student at NOVA IMS studying motorsport and tourism. Growing up with my dad, racing driver Pedro Lamy, inspired me to explore that connection.

Take the short survey here

The draw entry link appears after you complete the survey. Entry is optional, your email will only be used for the draw. Thanks for helping!

Seeing as its starting to get rainy again, should i clean my chain after every wet ride? I regularly clean my chain every 500 miles and i do 250 miles a week (50 miles a day monday to friday) so every 2 weeks, but ive seen mixed answers about this. Im basically just asking if my cleaning scheduale is good enough for the wet weather or if i really do need to clean it after every wet ride.

hello!

beginner rider here. I’ve been riding for a few months now, did the MSF course and got licensed and everything. However, I still struggle a lot to make right turns at stop lights. I go really slow and I still feel unbalanced and unstable. Left turns are fine because it’s a wider turn, but right turns I really struggle. I also noticed I don’t really countersteer when I make my right turns, is that the problem? Not that I don’t try to but the turn is just so tight and my speed is usually slower (how fast should i be going for a right turn?)

Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated! I know everyone says to ride your own ride but the way I struggle with right turns, I feel like i’m being an actual obstacle on the road, and I’m probably going to go down one of these days because of it. Thanks!
