2013 cbr600rr
Every mechanics worst nightmare is happening, finishing reinstalling my ECU after tuning + velocity stack upgrade and I've got these 2 black colored Allen bolts leftover from something I can't locate. Tank bolts are in, every fairing bolt I can see looks in, seat bolts are in...
Anyone have any idea where these go? I do not want to be riding and thinking about this constantly 😞
2014 focus ST, Lowered on BC BR coilovers
Hit an absolutely massive pothole at about 35mph and went airbourne for a second. Steering wheel is crooked now and I'm getting a massive creaking from the passenger front when turning the wheel far to the right. Don't see anything hitting in the wheel well.
I'm I guess a shade tree level mechanic, I checked over everything, tie rods look straight + everything else seems ok at a glance but I'm not that experienced with steering/suspension. Could it be the inner tie rod? What's most likely?
Sorry to be another one of those guys but I'm new to sport bikes and I've chosen the 600RR after much research + deliberation.
Is there anything in particular to look out for when buying one of these bikes used that may be specific to them?
Here's the bike Im looking at - A 2011 600rr with 6600 miles, all stock besides exhaust, has some scuffs on the DS fairing. I negotiated to 5k flat but haven't gone out to see it yet (he's 2.5 hours away). Worth it?
Worth 30k?
I couldn't get an exact answer but from my understanding the car was stolen off a dealer lot when it was new & taken for a joyride. Current owner bought it from auction in 2018 and garaged it (elderly gentleman).
The paint has got a lot of little scratches and some big spots of sun fading + cloudy spots, there's also a line on PS pillar that looks like a crack or possibly just a bad touch up paint job.
Other than that the interior is immaculate, fires right up sounds amazing drives amazing.
I'd usually never touch a R title car with a 10 foot pole but this one's got me interested. What would be fair for this car?
I just picked this car up today, it's been in storage for years. I've got fresh gas in it (few gal of premium) and a new fuel pump.
It has an Offenhauser dual port manifold and what looks to be an Edelbrock Performance 1400 carb on it.
I have never owned anything carbureted before and need some guidance. The car fires up fine, idles high on cold start up at around 2000rpm until you hit the gas or go in gear. Then it idles around 600-900 rpm give or take. It feels pretty smooth when you are barely on the throttle but anything medium to hard throttle, or sudden stab of the go pedal, and the car falls flat on its face and hesitates.
There's a linkage on the side next to the actual throttle linkage that looks to control a separate set of blades that is totally lose.
Anything stand out as wrong in the video? Just want to get it dialed in and running smooth. Thanks for any advice!
