Q:I'm a motorcycle newbie and I just want to know if I didn't change my motorcycle braking fluid what it's effect to motorycle breaking system

Change it. While changing, flush the system. Brown isn't good. Often, brown means rust, which means water in the system. The effect? Damage/corrosion to calipers and master cylinder. Lowered boiling point - causes soft brakes, loss of effectiveness.

Q:How can I ride my motorcycle with a dress on? Can I just ride sidesaddle and skip using the rear brake?

Ninja 250 is the one to go with. There a lot of fun, not too fast, handle great, and if I was 17, I'd be all over it. You will get tired of it though, and will be ready to step up to a 600 in less than 3 months, guaranteed. But yes, for a very first bike, go with the Ninja 250. Don't lay it down, so when it comes time to sell, you'll get practically what you paid for itsince they're (I was told) hard to get these days.

Q:i have a motorcycle which i accidentally left the keys on and the battery went dead anyway started it with the kickstart and its started fine when i got back i switched it off the break light no longer work everything else does what could it be

Take the bulb out and look at it. If it is clear and the filament is in place it is probably good. If the filament is broken/missing, or the bulb is burnt/black, it's bad.

Q:motorcycle,such as YAMAHA;Kawasaki; can i ride it in USA freeway?

To be legal, you need a motorcycle driver's license or endorsement, mere permit is restricted from freeways. Most States restrict freeways from use of pedestrians, bicycles, animals, and motor-driven cycles. The definition of motor-driven cycle varies. The Federal definition of a motor-driven cycle is a motorcycle with a motor that produces 5-brake horsepower or less. -- www.nhtsa /cars/rules/import/F. Some States do not define a motor-driven cycle, and there is no low limit on motorcycles -- as long as they can do the minimum speed, usually 45 mph. Some States agree with the Federal's 5 bhp limit. If you have an old 1964 Honda 50 Sport rated at 5 bhp it is legal on the freeway, or any motorcycle that has 5 bhp or more. The rest of the States agree with California's definition, a “motor-driven cycle” is any motorcycle with a motor that displaces less than 150 cubic centimeters. -- leginfo.legislature.ca /faces/. My Vespa has 150.46cc and is 50-State freeway legal. I am legal, safe, but insane with a 65 mph top speed.

Q:Changing motorcycle rubber brake lines to Stainless steel brake lines do they perform better then rubber brake lines. Is that change worth the money?

I've put the stainless lines on both of my touring bikes and they are definately worth it. I hate to disagree with jek, but apparently he hasn't put as many miles on as I have and hasn't ridden for as many years as I have. As the hoses age, they get soft and balloon out ever so slightly. As a result, you can mash the brake lever all the way to the throttle grip and still not get good braking. The stainless likes are actually braided stainless over a teflon liner and were orginally developed for use as hydraulic hoses in aircraft. Take a look inside of a helicopter and you'll see them everywhere. My experience has been that depending upon use, the OEM hoses will last for maybe 5-7 years before getting spongy. The stainless hoses will last forever. My oldest set is over 20 years old and the brake lever is still solid as a rock. They aren't cheap, but the $150-200 you spend could save you being in an accident.

Q:i just had my first motorcycle accident a few hours ago due to me losing confidence during a turn. i was doing everything right until i got to close to the shoulder then i panicked i straightened up the bike. so i went of the road onto dirt. i kept it Straight for like 10-20 feet i didn‘t hit brakes to hard because it would‘ve locked up but went in between a electricity pole and the wire that holds it up then it hit like a dirt mound, then the bike caught like 2 feet of air and when it slammed down i bounced of the seat and over the front of the bike. i broke the fall a little bit by rolling. i got up cleaned my self up and looked at my beautiful bike she was hurt broke a couple fairings and rearset but was still rideable i looked at my buudy who was hella woried then i started laughing and then requested a hi 5. but now im really sad my bike is hurt but im glad i was able to walk it off

I was riding some twistys with a buddy and we came up to the sharpest left hand turn that happened to be a little blind and dropped down to 40mph. At the apex of the turn, I saw a massive lawn mower going about 4 miles an hour cutting six inches of grass and taking up the whole lane. The road in front of him immediately veered to the right and I couldn't see if there was oncoming traffic. I stood it up and braked as hard as I could without loosing traction and the plan was to break to the left right before I touched that white line but my hands said **** That and I went right into a ditch. Got off lucky -that road has killed many motorcyclist.

Q:I am a new motorcyclist and was just wondering if there were any emergency procedures for this. Our first reaction is to press on the brakes but on a motorcycle that is a terrible idea. I got to realize what that felt like firsthand at the motorcycle safety course. I want to finetune my skills so that I can survive on the city streets. Thanks

When you're hot you're hot (lol). And using your brakes properly is your best choice. Try to chill your jets long before you need a parachute, think ahead. At 60mph you're traveling at 81 fps, your body has approximately 15 sf. of surface area so it only takes 4.7 seconds to totally skin you. Hopefully you are wearing a helmet as the skin on your face and skull is 20% thinner and 50% richer in blood capacity. ALWAYS keep an exit-way open. Added: When in doubt 'gas it' , when doubt fails, lay it down and in a hurry!

Q:motorcycles brakes are designed to absorb 35kJ/s, the motorcycle and rider have a mass of 280kg and are traveling at 100km/h.how fast will they be going after 3 seconds of braking?thanks

V1 100 Km/h 100000 m / 3600 s 27.78 m/s the absorbed energy after 3 s 35000 x 3 105000 J so 105000 KE1 - KE2 1/2 m (V1^2 - V2^2) 105000 27.78^2 - V2^2 105000 / 140 750 V2^2 21.73 hence V2 4.66 m/s

Q:For a motorcycle traveling at speed v (in mph) when the brakes are applied, the distance d (in feet) required to stop the motorcycle may be approximated by the formula d 0.05v^2 + v. Find the instantaneous rate of change of distance with respect to velocity when the speed is 42 mph.

No, thats a lie, and the law: the max pressure must be listed ON THE TIRE. You just aren't looking for it in the right place, but its on there. You really need to RTFOM This is not rocket science, if you cannot figure this out then give your bike to someone that can for chrissakes.

Q:because of rising gas prices i think it would be smart to get a motorcycle.

TRY MAPP GAS. IT'S HOTTER THAN PROPANE.
