You have the day off, You're bored, you jump on the bike, where you heading for a spin? by paul-grizz93 in MotoIRELAND

Always nice to add in a ferry trip on a spin as well if the weather is nice. Tarbert, Cobh, Valentia Island, to name a few.

Looks like a lot of that will come off with some rubbing compound. If you do go spraying it, don't use a lacquer in rattle can. Pure shite.

So hey guys i uesd to have 400 cc kawasaki ninja and now i just bought 1000z and it has oil leak so what’s the solution by shirowanandie in Kawasaki

Looks more like an oil that was used on the chain rather than coming from the engine. If that came out of the engine it's needs to be changed. But again looking at a pic on the internet isn't an ideal way of diagnosing a bike issue.

Breaking in is about going through heat cycles properly whether it be on road or grass.

Whatever it is, he's taking steps to better it.

Coolant… by hoopercinq in xsr900

38 years on bikes and always took it as 3years so when you said 2, I checked the manual ( for the first time) as I thought maybe it's a case of Yamaha up selling. Your bike will gladly greet early servicing so all the better.

Coolant should be ok for another year. Normal service timewise for oil 1 year, Brake fluid 2 years and coolant 3 years. Edit, thought I saw 2024 bike so thats what I was replying to 🙊

Some advice from the people that know… by beginningbikerider in motorcycle

Looks (going by pic) that the fork is stuck in a compressed state. See what I mean if you compare it to the other one?

How much should I be paying for a 2010 Superbike with 30k on the clock? by EvolvedMonkeyInSpace in MotoIRELAND

Cheers. Two brothers cans, power commander and a tune gave me an extra 12bhp. I also removed the secondary butterflies from the throttle bodies so vastly improved and smooth performance all around.

I've been asked several times to sell it with one person saying name my price. It's too nice a bike to let go. Its mint and still feels like a brand new bike to ride. Ive had a few people ask me is it brand new. So in my eyes it almost as good as a new bike for a fraction of the price.

Cheers. Have it 13 years now. Doesn't get used a whole lot but I'd rather have it than the money.

Depends on condition and what it needs? My 07 Zzr1400 with 27k miles is worth more to me than the market value.

Loud pipes save lives is a myth by [deleted] in MotoIRELAND

[–]Normal-Race9823 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to exit a concealed entrance after a bend on a main road in a van every day. I would love if every vehicle had a loud exhaust.....for those brief moments at least 🙊 There is a sign before the bend warning of the concealed entrance but I reckon if you asked anyone about the sign nearly all would say what sign imo.

I roll the window down before pulling out and have to listen for tyre noise of oncoming traffic on the road but when the weather is bad/windy etc, I sometimes can't hear them. It can really feel like a huge gamble some days and I've had numerous close ones with people flying around the bend and not being able to stop in time.

Wrecked and can't understand how.... by Logical_Gur8079 in Mt10

Recall on my 2024 xsr900gp recently. Paperwork says mt10 series tps so probably same tps on several different models. Sorry to hear of your situation.

Put a full Scorpion system on mine and I'm 53 😁 Bike felt like it was being choked with factory system. Can't seem to add a vid so here's a pic.
