Q:I don't race or do track days, but rather commute to work on my 2002 GSXR 600. What kinds of brake pads would you recommend? Organic? Sintered? Carbon-Graphite? Any suggestions on where to buy pads from?

For the best answers, search on this site shorturl.im/awesf Respectfully, you are asking the wrong people. Why not ask the people at your state's DMV? They are the experts. We are not. Partially due to the fast A) I would never buy a bike without a title B) I know my state of residence and know how to visit my local DMV for a straight answer to my questions. Have to ask, why are you considering this purchase with so much risk? Also, is this your first motorcycle? I'll await your answer.

Q:I really hate engine braking because I lose a lot of speed, and it just sounds awful and it drags so much it makes me think I'm doing something wrong..so I was wondering can it be avoided? I've heard that if you rev match u can avoid it, true false?also, when shifting down what are the correct speeds for each gear on a regular 600 sportbike? I know they'r all diff, I'm just asking what are YOUR speeds.

Just coming from a racer and street rider: Yes, matching the engine's rpm with the clutch in so when the clutch is out in the next gear lower will help reduce the drag significantly. It will smooth it out. Most people call this blipping the throttle on downshifts. Also try waiting another second or two, and let the RPM drop more. Downshifting into 5000 rpm is going to be more violent than downshifting to 2500 RPM. As for blipping the throttle on upshifts: No. On a 600 the clutch and shifting motion is so fast anyways this isn't necessary, also, clutch-less upshifting won't allow for this if you're racing or riding aggressively.

Q:Simple question that i want to know answer to.

Anything mechanical can break. Nothing lasts forever. Valves wear, bend, brake. Reasons usually from over revving, or neglect. If you race you can crack a guide, bend a valve, have valve to valve contact. Valve to piston. That's usually timing off or over revving. Mechanical timing off. Skipped a tooth or two on timing chain. Just went to George Town two weeks ago. One of the guys I ride with had valve to piston on the intakes on his CRF 450. His timing chain skipped a tooth. Luckily it was on the way back to staging.

Q:I understand that as with anything you get what you pay for. But it blows my mind when I read something like the brakes on this bike aren‘t great but they‘ll stop you eventually in a motorcycle review. The brakes are a safety item and should be required to be of the highest quality and stopping power on ANY motorcycle. They may not need to be Brembos or whatever but budget brakes are unacceptable. No?

The brakes of a bike variety. in many circumstances the bigger the disc (and style of discs) and the better style of pistons in the calipers, mixed with various resources, recommend a more suitable brake performance. No new bike will be offered with brakes that are incapable of forestalling a bike from its suitable speed, they extremely move the most appropriate power on a bike, actually outperforming the engine. Braking is a ability, as major as the different at the same time as operating a vehicle, they are not switches, you are able to't take care of them gently – the obstacles on braking are dictated by utilizing highway situations and the area you are able to note. there's a holding, “in user-friendly words bypass as quick as you will see that”, in different words in case you will see that in user-friendly words a short distance then you surely ought to bypass slower supplying you with time and area to brake once you hit upon a tractor only around the nook.

Q:My bike is 2014 honda crf250l single cylinder fuel injected

Yes it's usually OK, although not to use to keep your speed down when going down hill, for example

Q:would spraying it with silocone lube help to unfreeze it?

Open the bleeder (with a hose to direct the brake fluid away from the bike) and try to pry the pads apart with a screwdriver. Careful not to scratch up the rotor.

Q:I have a 2001 Yamaha Vstar 650 custom. I'd like to adjust my brake and clutch handles so that they are not so far away from my fingertips.

Don't try to bend the levers, they'll break. You can buy levers with a different bend, but that will be trial and error. First you'll have to keep trying different ones that meet your needs. And second you'll have to find ones that work on your bike. These ideas are time consuming and costly - buy, try, buy, try, buy, try. Here's something you can try. It might not work, but it's inexpensive and worth a try. The part of the lever that bolts to the handle bars is called the pearch. Where the pearch bolts to the handle bars, wrap some electrical tape around the handle bars, so the pearch is half on the bars and half on the tape. The pearch will be ****** at a different angle. Experiment with more or less tape wrapped around the bars. I've never tried, or seen this, but it sounds feasible. Good luck.

Q:only when riding slow,the rear brakes squeak along with the rotation speed of the tire.there is plenty of pad left.how can i stop it and what is causing it? the squeak goes away when i apply the brakes.

The simplest and most common reason is that the material that the pads are made of might make it squeak. I know on my Harley, If I get my pads from any of the after market suppliers, I might get pads that squeak. (It's happened in the past).

Q:would like to know if my battery is working because motorcycle doesnt turn on at all

I own a shop, and it was my impression that the 96 Impala SS came from the factory with a performance exhaust system. You are going to be hard pressed to get much performance with a quiet system, but I do agree that Flowmaster makes the best sounding/performing mufflers. If you wish to go to a company that makes the whole system, then you would want to check out MagnaFlow, or SLP. Magnaflow has a system for yours for $389.99 and up. Glad to help out, good luck!!!
