There is mod parts common to the sport bike scene to relocate rear brake to the handle bars. Stunters do this so they can control rear brakes. Know the feeling though. When I race mountain bikes, the left handle is front brake. I have to always refocus getting on bike. That front and rear...

What you describe is common to any manual trans. Simply when not moving, there is a chance that the syncro is aligned in such a way as to prevent meshing. It also can help to click the gear to second hen back to first to move the gears a bit

Only drop for me was ignition coil issue died my CB while riding neutraled to stop and dropped while pushing

Honda fury I think is pretty bad. Though I really am not a fan of that style in general.

Well, scripted review a bit. Just ignore that the nc has the factory cases as well. I see what they were trying to get at, and from sole fun, versys is the more sporty bike. I always ponder about the need to wind up bikes being manditory as well. I prefer bottom end torque myself. Sure...

On that topic tangent, That has been brought up before our safety legistators who are looking at implementing laws against devices that directly interfere with vision before it comes out. But to GPS, is there enough space when turning to have a mount built to nest underneath the speedo?

Also add to the fact that a tapered roller bearing can take a much higher axial load without needing thrust bearings. I think bearing is not the issue so much to cause wobble. My guess is checking wheel balance and alignments since it seems hit and miss for people. As for a dampener, they are...

Or something simple and new. I was thinking NC 67, or just 67X. That does sound a bit like a Kawi name though. And no other bike has an awesome Frunk! The storage with full cases, tank bag, backpack and a frunk can have one self sustaining (sorta) for weeks! Frunk is what is going to have...

Well, of point in suspension components, thr problem is flex. The impqct always causes slight deflection qnd will slowly form cracks and pores in the paint. Plus heat, chips etc.

The one that gets me is all the reviewers etc that call it a 700cc engine. Uhh... It is a 670... "but it says 700...*

DAah. This is an old story for honda and bikes. It is the same thing when they introduced the precursor to ye modern sport bike back in late sixties. The 450 supersport wasnt being bought in the US so they had to make a bigger CB750. The 450 was the superior bike in terms of performance and...

New rider, no 1400. It is a heavy, high speed, high power. Plus you would be surprized at how it sucks fuel.

Good call. Never thought about reduced heat buildup. I use lots of engine braking so never thought of that.

One big thing about brakes is the difference between good and good feeling brakes. Reliable and solid braking will be boring. Only need enough full lock braking to just be able to lock the front on ideal road surface. Any more braking powef is waste and cost. Massive double rotors is more...

Ooh. Nother goodun that I did when I got my first bike. Reversed which way the choke went. So starting it no choke and then put it to full choke to ride... Thought I had been fanagled by the seller. Ran good when I picked it up.

Side learning experience in regards to maintenance on my cb. Was messing around to get my right cylinder in proper tune without luck. (side story) Anyways, after messing around for a while, I got frustrated. I reqched up to shut off the bike and went to stand up. After sitting on the floor, I...

Also, when at low, first gear speeds, a tip I learned is to use just rear brake for slow rate braking. Dunno the exact physics as to why, but using front brake at idle speeds seems to reduce stability. As for mastering the downshift, is all about the rev matching. Shift by ear and not by tach...

In terms of the lighting, that I am not sure on. I am waiting for snow to melt up here in Canada before I buy mine. Want to test ride, with options being part of my decision. Currently the factory lights seem to be an expensive option, but with proper switching, and factory integrated wiring...

Hiya! Handguards, the barkbuster handguards seem to be well recommended and work with honda's heated grips. Guards, the Hepco ones are a bit more beefy and connect between eachother above the radiator I believe the Givi guards, while two piece can work with the factory light bar, or at...

I think you hit it right on the head about efficiency with the lfour valve cylinders. My 450 is a DOHC but two valve per cylinder and still high revving for the era. For the large bore, four small valves would fit efficiently fine. It might only be 5 or 10% gain over a two valve setup, but if...
