The bolts for the bottom battery flip tray vibrated out causing the battery to drop on to the metal tray sides. This caused the battery post to melt 😳 now I have this to work with.Any suggestions on how I can reattach my cables to the posts?
I just bought a 2004 Honda shadow 750 aero as my first hike and the back right turn signal doesn’t work and the front right turn signal stays on constantly how do I fix it?
Oof, looks like Mexico squashed plans for Perfect Day Mexico. This destination looked like it was really going to be something.
Curious to see how the company stats unwinding all the press around it. Was looking forward to possibly visiting on Hero of the Seas in 2028.
Traded for a 2008 vstar 1100 classic but the seller has cobra dragster pipes on them I’m pretty sure, I don’t know the exact model but they look similar the the dragster ones on there website and it has there brand name on them. But there just to loud for residential area.( I get home late at night from work and don’t want to bother my neighbors). the bike does sound really good but was just wondering if I could just buy baffle inserts and it that would be enough to quiet them down
Just needs an oil change and I’m ready to hit the streets
I am looking at my first bike.
My mind is set on cruisers and the softail standard is by far the most beautiful piece of metal that I ever saw.
Luckily, within my budget.
I am 1m80 (no idea in Eagles, i guess 5'10?). And around 95kg.
Do you guys/girls have any other recommendations?
I will be doing highway a lot.
Thanks in advance.
Hey y'all, I'm thinking of buying my first bike and I don't know what to start on, i have never ridden a motorcycle before, Is the Honda Shadow 750 a great bike to start on?
I'm 174cm and weigh 58kg/128lbs
So I have a 01 vstar 1100 with a broken left hand mirror (clutch side) the bolt snapped and broke to the point it needs extracting. Problem is I don’t know if it’s standard or reverse thread, and Google has not helped..
Anyone had to remove/replace/extract mirrors? Any help is appreciated.
Pictures attached. Been at it for about an hour and what’s left of the bolt is just shearing.
*edit*
I have an extractor bit set but it’s supposedly standard thread only. Don’t want to drill and tap and make this worse.
Drives amazing
I recently cracked the bottom of the engine, destroyed the drain plug at the bottom of the engine
Applied epoxy but it still leakes a bit
Any ideas what best to do here?
Thanks!
Background: I’m 41 and I’ve been riding all my life. I’m not a diehard ATGATT but Ive always wore jeans when riding. In Texas today it hit mid 90’s and I said F it and wore shorts.
Issue: I’m hooked. If it’s going to be well into the 90’s this summer I’m going shorts. I’m sure one of y’all will post a picture of me soon on here but just know….Im happy. I may look like a dork but that’s ok. I think I earned this.
Im having a really hard time deciding between the Honda Shadow 750 and Yamaha Dragstar/Vstar 650 as my first bike. Overall i really prefer the look and feel of the Dragstar, as i got the chance to sit on one. But the power of the Shadow makes it hard to decide as im planning on doing longer trips and riding with my girlfriend from time to time. I also sat on a Shadow 600 (which i think is a bit shorter than the 750 if im not mistaken) and it felt a bit small for me. Im 185cm.
So i guess what im asking is: is the Dragstar good on longer trips with/without a passenger, and if not, is the Shadow so much better that i should go for it just based on its ability to do that?
Really need advise if anybody know. I Never had a cruiser before, becomin 30 this year dont want sport bike anymore. I want a cruiser, havin license for 8 years but only had 4 full seasons experience had 1999 gs500e for 2 seasons (great bike) then got 2004 cbr 600rr (was stolen) was really fun but after couple hours was not comfortable felt like im in egg shell shimp. Beein lookin around for one, got stuck on this one for now, gon see it on Saturday, will check vin upon arrival, i did check some info online about problems of these bikes but i wanna know more like what spots usually oil comin out for no reason (where it shouldn't) where to check for droplets after the ride and any info that will help me on decision to buy it. I see online people say this bikes have some recalls about like brake and clutch cables which is not a problem to switch but other recalls lhandlebars, tps causin to stall.,,,, and i have to look for vin number plate marks on the bike to check if recalls were fixed by the dealer or check online by vin, if not wouod i be able to fix em for free by the dealer? Seller claims its 4k miles on it. I see they changed the oem tank barrel exhaust to aftermarket one, anyone familiar with it, is it too loud? Seller doesnt have other included parts but the passenger suction cup seat and the passenger seat back bracket. I see aftermarket dual or solo seats onlike on pacificcoaststars. What amount this bike worth, Any important info about this bike is helpful like. This place is like a stock of knowledge, thank you all again very much.
Hello, I am shopping around for my first motorcycle. It’s a 99 HD Sportster 883 with some modifications. He has it listed for pretty cheap and says everything runs good with clean title and up to date tags. I was just wondering if this would be a good first motorcycle considering it’s pretty modified from what it was originally. Thank you
This is my bike I was talking about to the person wondering about buying a Warrior.
I have a Yamaha Dragster 650 and I’m experiencing an intermittent electrical/charging issue. The problem comes and goes in waves.
Sometimes the bike runs perfectly fine with no issues, but other times it refuses to start and I have to push-start it. The battery is brand new, so I don’t think it is the issue itself.
While riding, the bike sometimes suddenly cuts out and stalls. It also often dies when idling at a stop.
Based on the symptoms, it seems like an inconsistent charging problem. It feels like the system is sometimes charging properly and sometimes not, which causes the battery to drain while riding.
Any advice on where to start diagnosing this would be appreciated**.**
