Is 34.5K regarded as high mileage? The bike is in nice shape and
regularly maintained ... thanks!

I have a V Star 1100 Silverado.
I have a small issue . . . The helmet lock is under the saddle bag so it
makes it use - well useless.
So, I bought an add on one and now I'm trying to find a place to install

I would like to know how to remove the seat on a 1998 Yamaha VMax. I
need to access the battery. I popped open the lid to the gas tank and

remove it. It felt like I was going to break something if I pulled any

Recently I had a collapsed thrust bearing in my XJ600N.
Mileage at the time was just below 30k, naturally I had to clean a lot

Got a 91 VR and ever since I bought it new the foot brake just is to weak. I
know about the anti dive feature etc. but I think I could drag my feet and

the master cyclindar, any advice?

When I had my Virago, I was so disgusted with the dull & dim stock
bulb that I bought the first/recommended brighter bulb at my dealer.
I don't remember, but it may have been a PIAA.
The stock bulb in my V Star is okay (i.e. nothing special), but I

Howdy, i have an 83 XT 550 and love it but id like to squeeze more
power out of it. According to bikez.com (maybe not that reliable) it
makes 38hp at 8.5:1 compression. So i was thinking of bumping up the
compression and changing the cams. Any thoughts on this or other
