... I was able to get out for a longer test ride last night after changing the oil and reattaching my windshield. After that experience and today's ride in to...
... Fwiw, adding Sea Foam to the gas does give the bike a bit more punch. I've not seen any negative affect from using the product, so may using it all the...
... I believe Dirtguy performed the "sidecar ken carb swap" and gained some performance. You can always add mothballs to your gas... :-) (not really...
I discovered yesterday that dealers who have their own training programs for motorcycle riding have first call for any Hondas coming out of the training fleet....
... One tooth in the rear is only about 3% or 2 mph difference; On the trail bikes we used to drop or raise 2 teeth on the front sprocket depending on the...
... Aka MSF returns. Rather than play Suzuki's game with their tiny unobtanium TU250, Dick, you might look closer at the 250 Nighthawk. In many ways it's a...
Yesterday as I was riding, I kept hearing a slight *clang* every time I would hit a bump. When I got to where I was going, I was checking the bike out and...
My guess would be a slight case of paranoia. The fender would make the forks more rigid. But, I don't think it would be enough for you to be able to tell the...
... I wrote them about their horsepower claim in that article and never saw a correction. CW said 17.3hp @ 8100 rpm but Honda's Certificate of Origin states...
... I saw that episode of Mythbusters! If my wife catches me Googling Kari Byron pictures again I'll never get to see another episode tho... Be that as it...
Brian: Typical Cycle World craziness and illustrates why I won't subscribe even at $8 per year. They list the Ninja 250R at 60mpg while my friends wife...

... They are definitely off if they are referring to the average rider who goes over 35 mph and accelerates in a noticeable manner. However, since installing...
Mike: No one can tell you what to do with your equipment but the idea with full synthetics is that the oil does not break down at the operating temperatures of...
... 6000 is a bit long, I think. I try to keep maintenance in 5000-miles increments so it's easy to remember. If you rack up miles quickly you can do 5000....
