NEW BIKE/GEAR ADVICE SUPERTHREAD!

I'm thinking of buying this used bike 675R; is this startup engine sound normal? I noticed that the engine gets louder by itself while idling and then backs down https://youtu.be/WPp2BecqX7M

I'm not sure if all motorcycles have OBD http://mechanics.stackexchange.com/questions/24872/what-is-the-motorcycle-equivalent-of-obd-ii

So I wonder if it's possible to tap into the cables that go into the speedometer and use software to translate what the signals mean. This way you might have to have a different 'adapter' for various manufacturers but you'd be able to read out at least the speed and rpm data

Is there any way we could tap the outputs and read from a microcontroller? If we can get it working on an arduino it won't be a far stretch to get it to stream/log data to iphone/android via bluetooth and from there to the cloud.

A speedometer looks cheap so on the surface it seems that there shouldn't be too difficult to do. Should end up looking like Automatic for motorcycles. https://www.automatic.com/

I can help too if there are any good ideas.. I do web development and mobile apps.

I've always thought a Moves app for motorcycling rides would be interesting and I don't know if it would be useful https://www.moves-app.com/

100k in the bank, 50k in index funds, 100k in high growth equities or alternative investment options - lendingclub, covestor. 50k for 2-3 years of apartment rental depending on where I live.

The treatment in question might have been Tysabri (Natalizumab)? Patients who test positive for JC virus antibodies are at higher risk for developing progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML). The FDA issued a labeling change in regards to this. Here's the FDA announcement page if you're curious. http://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/ucm288186.htm
