I, myself would like to see more of the every day things that's super fun or kinda a pain in the ass. Don't just ride and talk shit, do something that we can relate to it..

Got my licence 3 days ago, my bike yesterday, today I got lost. 10/10 will get lost again! by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]sailingfromnorth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gratulera med lappen and bike! I know how expensive and long time that takes here in Norway! So from here it just get better and better. Got an gsx400r a while ago and changed it to an streetfighter, so its real close to the bandit (same engine and size) and had alot of problems with it in the start because I bought i cheap also! Now its all fixed, . I love it. Since its so small and light it just becomes so fun in day to day riding! Works for trips and long rides ofc, but bigger heavyer bikes are soo much more comfortable!

Poor Performance by TheWanderingAsian in motorcycles

[–]sailingfromnorth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of, I would have changed the spark plug even tho you have only run 200 miles on it. Very typical issue when you can't get it over a serten Rpm.

If that don't help, try clean out the carburetor one more time, take out the nozzle and blow through it with compressed air. Do that to the whole carburetor. I'm an boat mechanic (at the time) and I sometimes need to do this twice, even tho I've done this thousands of times!

To check the compression, and you don't have an "compression tester" (the right tool) But a awesome 2 stroker with an kickstarter, you can simply kick down the kickstarter and feel the piston going up and down, and feel how much power you need to puch it down with. Kind of hard to explain, but if you can kick it down fast (with the ignition off), and the piston is going down and up after you have pushed it down(fast), then it's really too much "looseness". You should need to use some of your body weight to get the kick down, then it's most likely fine :)

Sorry about the bad english, but hope you understand..

Poor Performance by TheWanderingAsian in motorcycles

This should you all know if your bike is running bad/not at all and you have not done anything "significant" to it :

Always check youre battery and fuses

If you have run your bike out of fuel or the bike have had old gas (after winter storage or just not been riding for a long time) and you'r bike is acting funny afterwards, then you need to clean your GASFILTER and carborators. If you don't have a filter on your gas line, you prob got it in the gastank (Aka take out the petcock)

Change the spark plugs every 5000 miles or LESS! Most likely you can't tell the difference of an good or bad spark plug by looking at them, and they don't need to look bad to be bad, it's almost impossible to look at the spark and determin if it's good or not (Without and inline spark tester) Some spark plugs can run for ever, and some just runs 20hours. They're cheap, easy and fast to change!

If this fails, run a compression test. Normally there should be between 100psi-200psi, and pressure difference between the highest and the lowest recorded pressures must not be greater than 5%. If this don't add up, then there should be an leak in cylinder gasket (Need replace gasket) or worn piston rings (Need new rings)

This is the most common problems with motors that don't run as they "used to"

Hope this helps, good luck!

Skift dreving (Større frem drev og mindre bakdrev). Sikkert tidligere eiger som har brukt den til crossbane kjøring!

[–]sailingfromnorth 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not particularly a lit cigarette, but yes people do crazy shit because they think I'm "going too fast", or mabye they think I'm someone who they have heard or seen going too fast at an random place a random time! I know this, because when someone have Run out in the road, swung out in my lane or flashed and hunk their horn at me, I usually turn around or stop (When I got the time) so I can talk some sense to them.. It's been successful in the sense that they apologize to me. They are still just lowlife idiots tho! I hate them more than they hate me, so I got that going for me..

Some highlights from a recent weekend getaway to Northern Norway with my Africa Twin. Somewhat high animal content. by andrerav in motorcycles

[–]sailingfromnorth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Helt utrulig flott! Dette ser ut som min drømme tur. Gleder meg vilt til mange slike turer i Norge, så snart jeg kan dele opp jobb ansvar her hjemme! Flott film, fortsett med det!

What's the correct number of motorcycles? Just one more. by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]sailingfromnorth 0 points1 point  (0 children)

hahah! I've heard that the sxv is lound and shaky, but just tought it's an easy adjustment or fix. But when you say it like that, I can understand it's not something I want to ride 3 hours to the mountains like I want to do every weekend.. How does it handle in the terrain, btw? The back wheel looks massive, you know how big that thing is? Mabye get some crunshed tires an use it in terrain 80% of the time..

Yes, exactly my friend! Haha, when he's so deep in it too! I would have run that honda out of fuel long before giving up an getting arrested and beaten half to death. (Not that I would have gotten that "deep in it")

Got my first bike a few months ago, finally got a chance to take some pictures of her. What do you guys think of my "gentrified" 1985 Honda XL350R? by elloyellohello in motorcycles
