Q:Is it expensive ?

I dont think of every person can be able to respond to that question for youABS is comparatively new to the bike marketplace. ninety 9% of persons that journey now grew up without ABS on a motorbikeand maximum nevertheless have not got it. in case you dont get ABS i will assist you to know, you could have that OH NO 2d and lock up the rear tireit happens to every physique. the percentages of going on from it are extraordinarily narrow although this is going to scare you. That being suggested, it additionally rather relies upon on what kind of using you're doing. persons that journey aggressively (sportbikes) do in contrast to abs in any respect, being able to kick the rear end out installation going right into a nook is exciting and is integrated right into a marvelous form of riders varieties. yet once you're basically going for cruising and not plan on being that aggresive rider, ABS could probably be a stable investment.

Q:Hi, the front brake on my seca II has been a bit spongy and today after a ride I noticed some oily stuff, which I'm assuming is brake fluid, on the hose near the front tire. I dont know anything about motorcycle brakes so I thought I'd look here for some assistance. The brake lines were bled about a week ago and even before that seemed a little spongy, although I never noticed any brake fluid on the lines. Do I just need to tighten something, replace the lines, or do I have a bigger problem? Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

I would definitely change the lines. If any fluid got on the pads then they need to be cleaned or replaced.

Q:i just took the MSF course and ive been practicing in an empty parking lot near my house. At the MSF course i was taught the B-C-D (Brake-Clutch-Downshift) for braking. However a lot of people have told me to pull in the clutch first THEN brake. Which is correct?

brake first,, clutch second,, down shift third,,, when slowing down normally you use the engine braking to help slow you. in an emergency stop. grab a hand-full of front brake the clutch down shift all at once don't worry about the rear brake when you grab the hand-full of front all the weight shifts to the front wheel if the back is not on the ground ( or only just touching) hitting the rear brake only stops the wheel turning. will not slow the bike.

Q:Excuse me if im wrong, but from my previous studies in physics and riding a bicycle(since i am only 15), applying front brakes may provide some efficiency in stop the object faster but in reality its very dangerous as the motorcycle could lock up and flip over, thus leaving you in a bad situation. Why not just use the rear brake all the time? It seems much more naturale oui?

Because at speed, the front brakes being applied compress' the front forks (giving leverage to the front wheel) whilst lifting the rear. Sort of digging into the road. This gives more pressure and grip to the front wheel. Along with two big rotors and two calipers on the front wheel gives it more stopping power. Brakes should always be applied smoothly and the more pressure you apply, the tighter the brakes will be. If you grab the front brake, you will either A- lock the wheel causing the front wheel to lose traction and take a spill or B- lock the wheel while maintaining traction, and flip the bike over the handlebars. This applies to the rear wheel as well. Obviously you won't fly backwards but you will lose traction, potentially causing a fish tale and crash. Generally when I'm coming to a stop. I apply a bit of rear brake ( again, giving leverage to the front) then apply the front until the stop is complete. There are infinite scenarios on which brake to use and when, but that's the absolute basics of it.

Q:I wear dresses frequently. Is it unsafe if I rode my motorcycle side saddle and avoided using the rear brake?

A machine is not much different from a horse. Totally! I always tell my bike to get up or walk on when I want it to move, and I tell it whoa or easy to slow down. On the horse, I like to twist the right ear to make the horse go faster, and the left stirrup changes gaits. When a horse stops, you always need to put a foot down to hold it up or it will fall over which is why there are virtually no horses left anywhere in the world. Like a motorcycle, horses have no ability to stand themselves up after they lie down. Basically a horse stops moving or loses it's balance once and then it dies. It really is exactly the same, and you should have no problems whatsoever.

Q:bike only has 1000 miles on it and it hasnt been completely broken in. Would this problem go away in time as the brakes wear? Is there a way to adjust brakes? Bike is a harley davidson sportster hugger 883

Most likely cause would be a slightly warped rotor.

Q:Please don‘t advise me to take the MSF or anything like that. I am planning on taking it as soon as possible (in the next 2-3 months or so), but excrutiating circumstances require me to get my class M license before I do so. I already know that if I complete the MSF, then I can waive the driving portion of my test to get my class M.What should I expect for this driving test? I have read around and noticed that most people who have taken their test take it right there at the DMV, on a small course they have in the back.However, when I was told what I needed to perform the test, I was told that I needed to bring (along with my motorcycle) a car that was insured and registered, so the instructor could follow me. Now why would they need to follow me if I were merely driving around in the back of their parking lot?Does anyone know what I should be expecting for this test? Will it be a combination of driving on the street AND driving their little test course?Thanks!

I live in Tx. I have been at 3 motorcycle driving tests in Tx. Mine, my wifes, and my best friends. All three tests were held on city streets and highways, and in all three tests, the instructor said to bring a licensed, inspected, and insured car and a licensed driver for the car. The instructor will then advise the rider being tested of the route to follow, or will tell the rider to watch the rearview mirrors for blinker signals from the following car. The instructor will then ride in the car which will be driven by the person you bring with you and follow the rider over the test route. They will be looking for proper use of turn signals, brakes, and general ability to operate the motorcycle. It is very important to use head checks, or swivel your head at intersections to look left and right. They can fail you if they don't see your head turn to look for traffic at an intersection. They can also fail you if you stall the bike on take off form any stop. Hope this helps. Good luck, and see ya on the road.

Q:Someone offered me a bike like that,but i never heard of them before.Thank you.

This is the first time I've heard about those motorcycles but when I checked their website I saw that they are small displacement cruizers of 300cc. They are liquid cooled which is good, have dual brakes and steel brake lines. All nice stock features. They look pretty good but I personally prefer a bigger (800-1000cc) engines because of the . I DO love the in-line dual cylinder engine though. So it's a matter of if you like them or not - they are not very famous so their retail value will be low so make sure that you don't pay too much for them. I see that brand new they run about $4,000-5,000 Good luck!!!

Q:I‘m 16 years old and am going to get my car and motorcycle license in about half a year. Although I don‘t have experience on the road by myself. I feel confident in my abilities and am eager to start on a 2008 Honda CBR600rr. I‘m not looking for people to tell me Oh you shouldn‘t start on a 600cc bike. Rather I‘m looking for tips and advice to improve my knowledge of what and what not to do. I have never driven a motorcycle yet but will definitely take the safety courses and be responsible in learning to ride the CBR600rr. Any advice from starting up the bike, to riding it on a main highway wIll be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Are you F*cking insane? A CBR600RR is a high-powered sportsbike intended for experienced riders on tracks, not newbies on the road. You may take as many courses as you like, but without practical experience and several years building your skills YOU WILL PROBABLY KILL YOURSELF. To put it in perspective, it will out-accelerate a Dodge Viper to 100mph with about a quarter-inch throttle movement between off and full-on batsh1t acceleration. Read up on the number of New riders, say the first year, who kill themselves on sportsbike and think again before you hand more.ammo to the #x27;ban deadly motorcycles#x27; lobbyists. Start with something forgiving, e.g. a 250, there are reasons why most of the world limits New riders to 125cc and newly tested riders to low hp (33 vs the CBR#x27;s 100+) for a few years after they pass the test.

Q:I have a bicycle, and both brake levers are used to stop the wheels. Why do the motorcycles behave differently ???

I'd think that taking a rider education course should be your first step. They'll also tell you what's the best way to continue learning when it's over. You'll probably get a lot of stupid answers on here, so go with the teachers in your class.
