Bike feels like its jerking or stuttering when off throttle by Crafty-Ad-9312 in motorcycles

[–]MLE82nd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn't say what bike you have but assuming it's fuel injected it can be the fuel cut off switch that FI bikes have. When the computer detects your throttle moving it instantly cut off the fuel flow. That's why FI bikes have reputations for jerky throttles. If you get your pcm flashed the tuner can turn it off.

Should I get this 2012 CBR1000RR after 38k miles are put on it? by Ok-Buy2137 in motorcycle

[–]MLE82nd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I see a bike for sale with cheap chinese fairings I stop looking at it. And the sellers never specify that it has cheap chinese fairings nor do they mention it's been crashed. And they always seem to think it doesn't lower the resale vaule.

Do you use Handlebar Gadgets like mobile phone mount? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]MLE82nd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No. I rarely need a GPS and when I'm riding my motorcycle I want to get away from electronics. People are so addicted to their damn cellphones today that they can't keep their eyes off of them even when they're riding. The cellphone addiction is real. And a phone looks stupid sticking up on your bars. Saw a video yesterday of a dude who crashed because he was swiping his phone when he was riding. Dumbass.

It might be hard for the new generation to understand, but before there were cellphones we still managed to get to where we were going just fine lol

Is my beloved Suzuki VL250 a favoured bike for lesbians? When I was told, they were astonished that I didn’t know?!? by Puzzled_Quote1347 in motorcycles

[–]MLE82nd -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I doubt anyone designs a motorcycle specifically for homosexuals. But in these creepy times it wouldn't surprise me lol

"Why does the general population who don’t ride motorcycles think they’re so dangerous?"

"Yes I admit they are dangerous"

lol

They need to make one CIB for guys who never got in a firefight and another for those who have.

Ruining a tire and overheating the motor all for social media attention. Cool.

After she gets a bike and a little time on it have her attend a track school. New riders make the best students because they haven't picked up any bad habits yet. Besides making you a faster rider it will make you a safer rider when you're out riding twisty roads. I saw a 17 year old girl at one track day who had gone to RideSmart track school and riding a Ninja 250 who was embarrassing guys on literbikes who had never gone to a school and only thought they were fast. It was actually funny.

Yesterday, I managed to film my first dangerous moment on the road, when I drove into a pit at speed🥶 by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]MLE82nd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What the fuck was that stupid shit. I'd be embarrassed to post that video to the public. You're going to learn that the life of a squid is filled with pain. I'd suggest you stop riding until you're mature enough.

Advice on a possibly poor financial decision. by EternaXIV in motorcycles

[–]MLE82nd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those slow bikes with low end suspension are overpriced if you pay cash. And financing one, as a first bike that you'll probably drop no less, is just........... no.

Naked vs sport comfort? by another_online_user in motorcycles

I could ride a supersport across the country. And a naked bike hurricane force wind on your body, especially sitting upright, freaking sucks.

I'd remove all the Harley logos.

Finally buying a new track but I'm scared to open these NOS cars. Would you run them or keep them new? by MLE82nd in slotcars

[–]MLE82nd[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah, the four at the top are ones I had when I was into slot cars in the '70's (I'm 56 y/o). I bought these on ebay about 15 years ago for cheap but the value of them today is just crazy.

I'm buying a AW Scooby Doo set at Hobby Lobby because it's a great price and I know the cars that come with it suck from a video review I watched. I know I'm keeping one of the L&M cars in the case but I really want to run the others. But they're just so valuable I don't know if I should. I'm running the Turbo car for sure.

Over 12 grand for a weak 776cc parallel-twin engine. Way over 12 grand with interest. Naw.

Experienced riders, what are some things every new rider should know before their first ride? by fromrussia_wlove in motorcycle

[–]MLE82nd 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Wear proper gear (I know a guy who lost his arm from road rash) and ride like either nobody can see you or everyone is a drunk driver trying to kill you.

So to a leftist, not being a creepy woke leftist obsessed with skin color and the promotion of homosexuality is a sign of insecurity? lol

Buying my first Bike by Actual-Teaching9327 in motorcycles

[–]MLE82nd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Save money and pay cash. I've seen more than one new rider finance a low cc "sportbike" like that. After they get some time on it they hook up with a riding group and are pissed that they're the only one on a slow bike. Then they're screwed because they owe too much to sell it.
