Q:Guys i recently gave my motorcycle to fit the hella single horn. Horn is working fine. But after i came back from the autoelectrician I found the front brake one of the two front brake cables was cutoff It is missing. Old horn was not giving sound and it was an old one. So i asked them to fit a relay. They have done that. The cable in the front brake lever was some kind of tube which was going to the cowling. How can i replace this cable. I wonder if they have changed the connection for fiting the relay for the horn. or did they deactivate the front brake switch alone. for the horn relay. I dont know what to do Please help me I want the front brake to show the stop light when applied?

You need to stop riding this bike without the front brake. About 60% of your braking comes from the front brake. This mechanic has turned this bike into a death trap. From your description, this mechanic cut a hydraulic brake line and possibly the wiring to the brake light switch. Bring the bike back to the mechanic who did this work. Demand they repair this brake line that they damaged during this work. You should not pay for this repair cause by this mechanic. If the mechanic refuses to repair this bike for free, just leave and never return. Finally, you need to find a new motorcycle mechanic. The one you are using now is completely incompetent. Tell all of your friends who own a motorcycle about your experience. Make sure that they do not use this incompetent mechanic.

Q:I just got a brand new Triumph Scrambler a few weeks ago, and the rear brakes have begun squealing like crazy every time I roll to a stop; It‘s starting to happen on the front brake now too. The squealing starts at about 10 mph, and goes all the way to 0 mph. What‘s going on here? I am a novice rider, so I will accept the likelihood that I‘m at fault here. However, I have been taking it pretty easy with this bike since it is still in its brake-in period. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

which ever u prefer all the same except in the sound its all in what u want

Q:Bicycle brake system: V brake or a good brakes?

V brake is the advantage of light weight, high reliability, easy maintenance, the price is cheap and expensive, optional, brake power second only to the hydraulic disc brake.

Q:For sport bikes

the best clutch is BARNET!

Q:What kind of bike is the instructor using in this video?

Looks like a Suzuki Gladius, 650 vtwin.

Q:and would it look weird if i advertise for a girl to teach me to ride (im a girl) i think i‘d be more comfortable with that

It doesnt take long at all! im a 15 yr old girl and i started learning at the start of the year (but i ride dirtbikes) and it took me the second or third time we went to the motorbike park until i was confident with changing gears. You just have to get used to the bike, its power and changing gears, and also to find neutral (which is inbetween 1st and 2nd gear). Im not sure if yours is a dirtbike or a road bike, but i know for sure with a dirtbike you need to learn how to kickstart it, and what i mean by that is if you stall the bike and youre in gear, then you need to pull the clutch in and kickstart it, and kick down to 1st gear to get going again. Otherwise kickstart it in neutral as you dont need to pull the clutch in. Its just basic stuff like that that you need to learn, but a lot of it is common sense! Im pretty sure road bikes would be very similar to all of this! Its really fun once youre confident and no its fine about a girl teaching you! Its absolutely fine! Hope this helps :)

Q:I was wondering if its possible to make turns on a motorcycle while braking? One time I tried to use the front brake to turn when I was first starting out, and the bike locked up on me. I laid the bike down and fell down. Luckly it was an old beat up ride so no harm no foul but I have a nice one now and I can‘t take chances with it. And I have not tried it again. I don‘t think that using the back brake while turning would be possible either. Because it would easily lay the bike down with the back tire sliding out from under me. I really don‘t like using the back break at all actually and people have told me not to use it. I am just wondering if anyone out there does it and can pull it off with the front brake? Thanx

Probably a 245/70/16 would be right for a full sized p'up or SUV. Good Luck!

Q:My motorcycle (a 1998 Kawasaki Ninja 250R EX250-F is running rich after it was laid down at a low speed (tire tucked under heavy braking on gravel, less than 3 mph.) The Kill switch was hit relatively quickly and the bike was picked up within 5 minutes and started. Afterward I lost interest in riding and left it for a few hours. Then I took it out for a ride (about 15 miles) and the entire time (particularly at lights) I smelled gas from the exhaust.The choke appears working properly (the linked slide is actuating within what appears to be its full range) and the bike is idling slightly high (just under 2k rpm.)There are no other problems of note. It took about a minute and a half to start at partial throttle to start (probably flooded the carbs.)I am not an expert by any means and was unable to find the answer online. There have been no idle or rich condition problems prior to the bike being laid on its right side.

First check your oil, a bike that is laying down can get gas into the crank case. If the oil has no signs of gas then its a carb issue. You may have disturbed settled contaminants in the carb that now are keeping your inlet valve from sealing causing carbs to over fill.

Q:When im on my motorcycle i was taught to brake before entering a turn, which is what ive always done. i was also taught that if you try to slow down in the middle of a turn, your rear wheel will slide out from under you and cause a slide (ive seen it happen to a student).are there any techniques i can use to overcome my fear of sliding and brake during a turn carefully?

I believe most riders go through times when they become apprehensive about sliding out in a turn. It takes practice to develop confidence in the bike and your driving skills. Just braking in a turn won't slide out the rear tire: it depends on how hard you are braking, the angle of the turn, etc. What I've learned in years of riding and teaching rookies how to corner is to start with slow riding skills in a parking lot to get a feel for how far you can lean your bike before it falls. Then ride on open roads with sweeping curves to build confidence, finally going to tighter curves as confidence builds. As much as possible, slow before the curve, and accelerate (or hold a steady throttle) in the curve. The worst thing you can do it vary throttle and brake input up and down in a curve. That throws the bike's dynamics off. I've always felt is was better to have someone ridicule me for a slow rider in curves than feel badly for me as I lay broken at the edge of a curve.
