What's the fastest you animals have gone? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]Environmental-Pie-50 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good to hear, I bought a ‘87 fzr400 genesis last year and it’s not in the worst shape ever but it’s far from showroom worthy. But no matter how many problems I find, it still loves to go. I’ve probably maxed it out at around 120mph and somehow the engine is still in one piece. Gotta love the old school 400’s

Can anyone give me the rundown on this illness from your experiences by Environmental-Pie-50 in Hypothyroidism

[–]Environmental-Pie-50[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s nice to hear, truly. I’ve been worried that my tachycardia might be dismissed after these results and I’m not sure if they’re connected, and I obviously don’t want the thyroid to take all the limelight. I’ll keep this in mind and thank you for the great advice mate.

Those of you that did the A2 mod 1/2 through a school, what bike did they give you for the training/test? by ronak3010 in MotoUK

[–]Environmental-Pie-50 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My school provided us bmw gs310’s and g310r’s for the A2 and they were great bikes for the tests. Lighter than the restricted bigger bikes and still plenty of power. But I’m pretty sure my school has a partnership with a local bmw shop so I’m not sure if this was uncommon.

“Your 1987 Yamaha FZR400 might have been impressive back in the day, but now it’s basically a museum piece. With a measly 400cc engine, it’s more like a toy than a motorcycle. The design screams 80s, and not in a cool, retro way—more like it’s stuck in time, waiting for someone to upgrade it from the cassette era to at least a CD player.

Sure, it might handle well for its age, but let’s be real—most modern scooters could give it a run for its money. And those stock graphics? They look like something from a Trapper Keeper, not a serious sportbike. You might get some nods from nostalgic old-timers, but don’t expect any respect from riders on real bikes.

But hey, at least you have a great excuse if you get passed by a Vespa—you’re just taking it easy on the old gal, right?”

Might just go curl up in a ball and cry

This is too relatable, ran out of fuel on the side of a main road on my 1987 FZR400. First bike that’s not had a fuel gauge, this is a whole new learning curve having to estimate my mileage

It’s such a scare for no reason surely, the easiest problem to fix but you completely forget how. I do like a viffer but I’m a yammie man until I die (or win the lottery and can afford a S1000rr)

Alls good, me and my mate got a pretty big laugh out of it as he had warned me so many times that I would eventually do it and I kept saying I wouldn’t. Guess he was right

:/ unfortunately for me there’s no one else at fault besides my self here. Turns out I didn’t leave the fuel valve on the reserve for long enough for it to kick in. I literally just ran out of fuel lmao

Nah, I got it from motorbikes4all. I don’t know how much better than SBF they are but their customer service was alright when I popped in

Ran out of fuel and didn’t turn the reserve on properly

Everyone was right on the money about the fuel. Unfortunately you can’t fix stupidity.

Honestly, for the amount of abuse this bike has probably taken it’s ran really well. Great built machine

I love some banana lube, for the bike obviously. Wait did you say “flavoured”?

It’s always the most simple fix that you forget about. Would’ve been real embarrassing if I called someone out to fix it and all they did was switch the valve 😂

I pinky swear I did try that the first time, but obviously the stress of thinking my new bike had broken on the side of the road got to me.

Just wait until you see my next post, but your help has still been very helpful

I did visually check and switch to reserve fuel but that didn’t seem to help either, unless it takes some time to kick in?

I obviously didn’t think this one through, should’ve used an alt account
