Leaking Suspension Fluid - HD

Hi,

I have noticed my suspension fluid leaking the bike is parked outside. Covered in one of those plastic covers.

It is a smallest HD on the market as far as I know a street 750, I would like to take it to a mechanic, who do you suggest that's affordable and won't cost me a arm and leg.

How to try dirt biking in the UAE without buying a bike? Looking for rentals/trial sessions

Hey everyone,

I’ve been watching a lot of dirt bike content lately and I’m really interested in getting into it. However, I don’t want to drop a ton of cash on a bike and gear only to find out I don’t actually enjoy it in person.

I want to have a proper go at it before committing to the hobby. I’m looking for advice on the best way to "taste test" dirt biking here in the UAE.

Specifically, I need help with:

  1. Rental spots: Where can I rent a proper dirt bike (not just a quad) for a day or a few hours? I’m thinking places like Al Qua, Hatta, or the desert areas near Sharjah.
  2. Guided sessions: Are there any schools or guides that take beginners out? I’d feel safer with someone showing me the ropes rather than just sending it into the dunes alone.
  3. Gear: Do rental places usually include a helmet and boots, or do I need to buy those upfront? (If so, any cheap shops in Deira or Al Ain?)
  4. Budget: What should I expect to pay for a rental + guide for a morning session?

I’m not looking to race, just want to see if the feeling of riding on sand is as fun as it looks on YouTube.

Any advice on where to start would be awesome. Thanks!

cosmetic modifications advice

Hey guys, so I just bought my gsx s750 2019 and there’s some corrosion/rust around and on many areas. Bike is healthy just doesn’t look in its cleanest.

Would love some advice on all purpose garage where to go and get some wheels repaint, body work, advice and etc…

I’m a beginner, don’t want to go to a really cheap but bad spot, and also don’t want to get scammed with ridiculously high labor/fees.

Also just a side question if anyone knows, are rear fender deletes allowed in UAE ? Or do they specifically need rear blinkers to both be there along with rear license plate ?

Abu Dhabi motorcycle parking fine

Hi y’all. I am in a very sad state. This year alone I’ve paid a lot in fines and yesterday night I got another one amounting to 500 aed.

I had paid for my motorcycle parking on mawaqif for Saturday which would go upto Monday early morning as I had to travel by car to Ajman. When I was back on Sunday that is yesterday I removed it from car parking and decided to park in a place delivery riders park on a curb.

There is this electric charging station that Abu Dhabi is tryna implement in residential areas and there isn’t enough space for people to walk too thanks to them. Even with a valid payment on my parking ticket I unfortunately decided to remove my motorcycle from car parking and put it on top k my in ٣٠ 30 mins to got a fine. The fine details were: “Drivers failure to abide by signals and instructions”. I put up a vid and there pedestrians can’t walk on the area where they put up electricity chargers unless someone wants to get possible electrocuted…

The motorcycle that is covered is mine however I have a transparent window for cops to check numberplate which I specifically imported from abroad just so the parking people can check my number plate without opening up the whole cover. And give me another fine for concealing plate info. Idk now what to do I honestly don’t wanna go to court to dispute this. Pleased help I have an active parking payment too incase that helps😭.
I can’t attach a vid and photo together but I do have an active parking ticket paid till Monday .

Also today morning I asked another motorcycle owner who parked there whether he received a fine and he too received a fine on his motorcycle he wasn’t a delivery rider😭. What’s happening in Abu Dhabi aren’t private vehicles allowed to park in motorcycles spaces??

Good Bike garage

Had to share this cuz i was really satisfied with this garage (Revline Performance) in UAQ and anyone else who owns a bike and lives in the north would love to hear this. So i live in ajman and i own a Zx6r and im literally DONE with kawasaki doing my bike services for 3 reasons :

  1. Their service station is in Al quoz which is crazy crazy far for this heat + INSANEEE TRAFFICCC!!!!!

  2. My last 2 services they took 5+ hrs to finish the job which feels like hell. Literally hell. And they dont have a good customer service where they assure you or let you know at all about anything. Its you who has to always get up and go ask for updates. And they always have the same lame answer "yes sir just wait abit it will be done"

  3. Their waiting area is extremely boring. But i gotta admit the free coffee machine is nice cuz you can have unlimited hot chocolate.

Anyways back to the point. I found Revline performance through their reels on insta and i saw that in their waiting room (mezzanine floor right above where they fix ur bike) has a billiard table, foosball table, lounge and proper table and bar chairs for where you can sit and work on your laptop + free Wifi + free soft drinks and Water. The people are also amazing and they finished my bikes service in less than 3 hours which was relieving and as someone who loves billiards i just kept playing and time flew and overall it was just amazing. And mainly the journey was traffic free and nearby since i live up in the north.

Dubai to AlUla (Saudi Arabia)

Hey biker brothers!

I'm planning another crazy adventure: Dubai to AlUla**!** 🏍️
The plan is to ride from Dubai to Riyadh, then from Riyadh to AlUla, and then ride back. It should be around 5,500 km in 6–7 days.

I'm thinking of doing it around the end of October or beginning of November.

If anyone wants to join, it would be great to have some fellow riders along for the adventure!

Who's crazy enough? 😄

Can I pick up riding skills at a driving institute in 4–6 weeks?

I’m traveling to India next month and plan to rent a motorcycle for a road trip. I already hold an Indian motorcycle license on paper, but my actual riding skills and confidence are quite rusty.

If I enroll in a local driving school now, is it realistic to build solid, safe riding competence within 4 to 6 weeks?

I don't need a Dubai license for now. Once I come back, I'll finish the final tests.

RTA Checks

Finally converted my UK Full Motorcycle license to the UAE. Planning to buy the Yamaha R7 but had a question regarding RTA… with aftermarket exhausts, will this cause a fail?

Will it be a case where I have to keep both exhausts and change it when I go renewal?

Any tips appreciated 🤙🏽

Finally made it!!!

Well. My first post in this forum since I was anxiously waiting for this big boy to arrive!

Long story short, this guy was packed way back in Feb to be shipped to UAE along side the rest of my stuff and like all else, got stuck due to the ongoing conflict. Months later it finally made it last week!!

Can’t wait to take it for spin..but it’s a long wait still since I need to get the license, get it registered before i can do anything :(

Buying my first ever bike today !

GSX-S750

I tried to test ride it but I won’t lie, I’m not confident at all (as of yet) 😅

My only question is how do I power down the bike, Can I head to a Suzuki tuner to make 3 power maps or something for the bike to lower throttle response,torque and etc?
