Q:motorcycles

Cheap is a relative term. They could all be cheap depending on whether or not the stone has been tumbled, cut, or remains unpolished. Also any of these could be cheap if you buy a small enough piece.

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:If they made bicycles so the front brake was on the right, it would be less hazardous and confusing when you rode a motorcycle. Are there other countries where the brakes are on the other side?

Traction is from the rear tires, as a result the bigger the greater traction. Brakes prefer greater desirable on the front simply by fact while combating, the vehicle dips on the front. enormous brakes on the rear will merely skid, as there is far less weight on the rear tires. 70% of braking is carried out from the front, on vehicles. On motorcycles the rear brake is the main important, and the front utilized intently, or you run the possibility of skidding the front tire. undesirable theory.

Q:Motorcycle brake brake it will not be something

Change the brake shoe

Q:I have an '03 Honda CB500 with a Brembo 2-pot caliper up front. It's stuck/seized, I'm not sure, but only half-way on. I have the caliper off the forks and can't push the pistons back in.Sorry for the vague description, but any help would be appreciated.Most importantly, is it even possible for me to fix it?Thanks.

according to what you have defined, i could use the previous caliper for a doorstop and get carry of a suitable rebuilt caliper or a good used one. regardless of each thing, the nicest finding bike isn't well worth to a lot if it won't end. And on condition that the bike has in ordinary terms been ridden sporadically considering that 1994, the rust buildup interior that caliper will, must you get the piston freed up, tear up the piston seal and be a relentless source of leaks. And once you're at it, i could look at or have a qualified bike mechanic look at the grasp cylinder and rubber brake hose. The hose could look effective from the exterior, yet hoses will swell up internally from loss of use or appropriate maintenance (typical fluid differences) and which will avert the brakes from working suitable. Brake fluid, extraordinarily DOT 3 spec'd fluid, has an inclination to take up moisture. greater beneficial than probably the fluid hasn't been replaced in 2 an prolonged time. it is your neck, so it truly is one section i would not do a million/2 way.

Q:Hi I‘m 14 and I have a friend that rides a motorcycle on the road. He is 15, but he says you can ride one from the age of 14 in Ohio. I‘m not sure if it‘s a motorcycle. it might be a moped that looks like one, but my mom thinks it‘s a good idea if I start riding one, but I don‘t have any idea how to start. help? Oh and I‘m a girl by the way (not that it matters).

Don't listen to your friend. Your friend is completely clueless and is breaking the law. In Ohio, you must have your TIPIC for at least 6 months before you can get your motorcycle learner's permit. Since you can not apply for your TIPIS until you are at least 15 1/2 years old, this means you must be 16 years old before you can apply for your motorcycle TIPIC. You must also attend an approved Driver's education course You must also attend an approved motorcycle basic rider's course The only thing you can ride before you are 16 is a 49cc moped or scooter that is less than 2 horsepower and is designed to go no faster than 30 MPH on a level surface.

Q:sometimes my husband‘s motorcycle gets hung up in curves and then only wants to go straight. it then cannot be controlled. the last time it happened, he had to slam on both brakes and skid to a stop. does anyone know why the bike does this? does anyone know how to prevent this from happening? he has a Harley Davidson 883

I have a couple questions. Were you or are you on the back when this happens? If so maybe you aren't leaning into the turn with him. This will definitely cause the bike to go straight. If this is happening sometimes and he is the only one on the bike when this happens then he could be doing something wrong sometimes. He may have a bad wheel bearing (I'm thinking front but raise the bike off the ground and check both) or loose wheel or the wheels aren't aligned. Check the front forks to make sure neither tube is loose in the triple tree clamps and the tubes are even height with each other. And check the swing arm too to make sure there is no slop side to side. Could be loose or a bad bearing again. Check to make sure the rear shocks are secure especially at the bottom where they attach to the swing arm. If you don't find a problem in either of these places I'd have to say your husband is doing something wrong. Ask yourself is this happening in left or right hand turns or both. When does it happen most often? Does it happen in hard tight turns or long sweepers? Does it happen with you on the back or when he's alone or both? Take your time , be cautious, think and look and you'll get it figured out. Good Luck

Q:i learned that u can brake w/o gear changes in emergencies but do ppl brake like that all the time or only for emergencies? and do u always press the clutch when u brake?

Yes, always pull in the clutch when braking...

Q:hi i am 17, have a motorcycle, and motorcycle temps. with temps you have restrictions of no night riding, no freewaysext. if i were to brake that law and did night riding or freeway riding and got pulled over for w/e reason( lets just say a tern signal or out and not given a ticket for that) will i loose my licence for driving a car? or will i just get a ticket for that? around where i live when u are under age of 18 and u get a ticket or in an accident, you loose you licence for some time. idk if any 1 will know. just a question. and if this will help i live in Ohio

heh, I know someone who found out. The bike was impounded $200 fee to retrieve and there was damage from the tow. Tickets were issued to the tune of $700 and license suspended. Not just the MC permit, the full license. All said and done, it took nearly $5000 and over a year with 5 court dates to get it resolved. Mind you, he couldn't drive for that year (well, legally he didn't stop driving). He's a letter of the law guy now, never speeds, not even 1mph over the posted limit. Might be from the year of doing everything possible to not be pulled over and tossed in jail for driving on a suspended license. It's Seriously NOT worth it.

Q:my 80cc engine is under 5 brake horsepower so i don‘t have to get it registered or get any insurance but i no i need a driver‘s license but i don‘t know if i need a motorcycle license but if you drive on the side of the road whats the need for a motorcycle license your suppose to drive on the road like every one else but it doesn‘t have any signal lights so i don‘t know if i use my hand to signal or what it‘s over 50cc so i need a driver‘s license if it‘s under 50cc you still need a driver‘s license maby i can get away with a driver‘s license i use pedals to start it so it‘s a bicycle with a helper motor so let me know if i need a motorcycle license

Screw the DMV, read the law: www.cga.ct /current/pub/chap24. Definitions: (52) Motor-driven cycle means any motorcycle, motor scooter, or bicycle with attached motor with a seat height of not less than twenty-six inches and a motor that produces five brake horsepower or less; (54) Motorcycle means a motor vehicle, with or without a side car, having not more than three wheels in contact with the ground and a saddle or seat on which the rider sits or a platform on which the rider stands, but does not include a motor-driven cycle, as defined in this section, or a vehicle having or designed to have a completely enclosed driver's seat and a motor which is not in the enclosed area; --- It doesn't care about the displacement, If you have 5 bhp or less it is a Motor-driven cycle, if it has more it is a Motorcycle. Damn I see why you have problems. www.ct /dmv/cwp/view.asp?a803. The DMV is out of date. Moped is not a legal term, and their links are broken. www.ct /dmv/cwp/view.asp?a810. . Ah! You need a driver's license for a Motor-driven cycle, for a Motorcycle you need a M-endorsement on your driver's license. As with most States, *any* motorized vehicle requires a driver's license of some sort to drive legally on the streets.
