He bought a Bolt-on aftermarket Takegawa 110 kit against my wishes.
It included the Cylinder, Piston, Rings, Cam, Kehin PD carb w/Air
Filter and Manifold ect..

Man, I gotta tell ya, God's on my side. I was pulling out onto RT4 from the

Have a work-friend selling a 2000 Yamaha XT225L Serow.
Only web info I can find on the bike is that it says bike is solid with 4.5
out of 5 stars.

I have a 2006 VMax with about 1900 miles. Recently, I've noticed a problem

Through the generous efforts of a local citizen, I was forced to lay my
2006 v-star 1100 down at moderate speed about 2 weeks ago. I walked away
with road rash only, but the bike was a tow job just cause I wasn't up
to chancing it.

I have a pair of xj650 forks from a 1980 machine I need to up rate the
springs but I cant find how to get the cap out of the top on my virago
there's a allan key recess to un screw it but on this xj650 there is just a
blank plug recessed in about 2 mm and no way of gripping it ...

Anyone know for sure of a yfm raptor flywheel puller in oregon usa that
someone might have for sale or want to give away?

Why is it harder to start a cold engine vs starting an already warmed-
up engine, special on older bikes.  Based on the three primary

What is the black plastic thing in the reservoir with the hole in it
