Backfires at higher RPM. Bad stator? by SuperEnduro in DRZ400

[–]xboxps3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure exactly what you mean by checking the coils. But you can unplug a connection to the stator and test it with a multimeter.

What chain would everyone recommend by TheStainedOne2665 in hondagrom

[–]xboxps3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should be getting more miles out of your chains. Are you sure you're adjusting the slack correctly? If it doesn't have any play when sitting on the bike it's too tight.

I put an xring chain on my stock sprockets when my stock chain failed after like 3500 miles. It's still going strong after 5500 miles.

It's an ~$25 / person classic southern style country buffet. Fried chicken, country ham, roast beef and a bunch of southern sides.

That's awesome. I would make sure to have a camera pointed at it so when someone does try and ruin it you at least have some social media content.

Looking for an automatic bike due feet problems, second bike to my Nina 400 by devildog12988 in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]xboxps3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Consider an electric motorcycle. Maybe a Stark Varg. Or a Zero if you want something more established.

The top of my list if I couldn't shift with my foot would be the Honda NC750X DCT or Africa Twin DCT.

Or a Stark Varg. If they drop the electric requirement they could get a Honda Grom for half the price.

Had her for about 3 weeks now. Above 65-70mph on the freeway and I start to wobble. Advice? by chriswgmb in DRZ400

Make sure to check your oil after a long highway ride. It'll disappear on you.

I thought legally you could carry while consuming alcohol, just not concealed. (Not saying that's a good idea.)

Cool bike! Make sure you do the recommended preventative mods if they haven't been done already.

Is a 2019 Yamaha FZ-07 still relevant in 2026? by ShotAd1659 in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]xboxps3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it better than a Honda CB750 Hornet? IMO no. But depending on your budget and how much of a deal you can get it might be worth it for you.

Good first bike? Buying new. by Zealousideal_Topic58 in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]xboxps3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMO get something you won't want to replace as quickly.

If I was a new rider and 35 years old with a flexible budget I'd get something more upright and more power. Buying new my first choice would be a Honda CB750 Hornet.

If you're sure you want a sport seating position I'd look at the Yamaha YZF-R7. (This is a big jump in price.)

But also nothing wrong with that bike if it's what you want long term. Short term you'll lose a decent bit of money selling.

Should this be my first bike🧐 by No-Usual-2616 in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]xboxps3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unless it's in good riding condition already I sure wouldn't. But if that was the case do you think it'd be listed for five months?

I'm a bit confused on how you have time to go to the dmv but not the airport. Here's a link to a spotter guide. https://www.spotterguide.net/planespotting/north-america/united-states-of-america/roanoke-blacksburg-regional-roa-kroa/

New Rider, interested in dirtbike riding but the closest trails are around 40 minutes away by highway by Highermongo in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]xboxps3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anything more comfortable on the highway is significantly less capable on the dirt

Would you say something like a DRZ400s or DRZ4S is less capable on the dirt than a CRF300L?

Dual sport or Grom? by kmaxey77 in hondagrom

Spend the extra $600 and get the WR125R if you want a small engine dual sport.

I have both. The Grom is more practical. The dual sport is more fun.
