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?
I agree 100%. Thats why you now see most manufacturers making the change over to ABS braking systems, even on sportbikes. The new CBR's have ABS, but that system added 40 lbs. to the bike. Honda engineers decided to keep the system because it was safe, instead of worrying about making the bike lighter. Brakes are the most crucial part of your bike. No brakes, or poor brakes result in you risking your life.
Q: I have a old 86 Honda Rebel and my dad has a much newer Honda, and I never really noticed it before until i worked on the disc brakes for my Bronco then i noticed that both of the bike's disc brakes had holes in them
The holes do a few different tasks. Less weight for starters. The holes have a cheese grater effect on the pads, signifigantly increasing the grab or friction of the brake caliper pads. They are also there to displace water, as the front end is quite exposed to wet, unlike a car. Early japanese bikes had solid discs, and they did not work at all for the first few squeezes after the bike was rolling when wet. Scary. In fact they were so bad, that a warning sticker could often be found on the fork leg attesting to proper break in procedures when first taking off in rainy conditions. Hot rodders on these early bikes would often have holes drilled in the solid rotors for these reasons. It is of course now standard, all the bike companies do this. The holes also aid in cooling as well, helping to vent air to more of the metal that comprises the disc.
Q: I bought a used 2007 Honda Shadow vt600cd VLX a few weeks ago. This is my first bike, I want to make sure I keep it maintained properly. However, I did not get an owners manual or service manual with it. What kind of engine oil should I put in it? And my front brake fluid is very low. What kind of brake fluid do I use? thanks.
DO NOT put DOT5 in your Honda! Use a fresh bottle of DOT 4 or DOT 3, it is written on the cap on top of the brake master cylinder mounted to the bars. Silicone based DOT5 is used on Harleys and other antique vehicles. DOT 5 will ruin the internal seals inside the braking system on your Honda. It has a higher boiling point, but for the application here, it is more than suitable. DOT 4 is used on most GP race bikes, so it will work just fine in your VLX. 10W40 semi synthetic in the engine. Not full synthetic, it sometimes wrecks havoc on the clutch friction plates. 20W50 sometimes in extemeley hot conditions, although 10W40 will suffice. 10W30 is too thin. Reccomended oil should be written around the oil filler hole on your Shadow.
Q: I was wonder what you guys think are the most important features to have on a motorcycle to ensure a safe ride. Everyone probably has slightly different opinions, but in general I want to know the most practical and essential elements.
find something to suction it out, whatever you do, don't drive it. the power steering fluid will damage seals in the brake system
Q: What is the meaning of a motorcycle?

Q: is a scooter as dangerous as a motorcycle?and i dont want any answers saying that a motorcycle/scooter isnt dangerousits the person on it thats makes it dangerouswhat i want is statistics on how many people get hurt or die on a scooter Vs. people on a motorcycle
Any bike with 50cc or more is (legally anyway) a motorcycle, but regardless of engine displacement, you can be killed on any two wheeled vehicle be it a Vespa, Honda, Harley, or Schwinn. Perhaps you feel that you are not ready for the Honda CB350s and just have not made that connection in your head yet. My opinion is don't let fear limit your options. Take a motorcycle safety class and then you can make a better decision of what to ride. If it's just a displacement thing and you have already stated that you like Vespas check out the Vespa GTS 250. Honda and Yamaha also have 250cc scooters. If 250cc are not enough, there are larger displacement scooters on the market as well. Yamaha Majesty 400 Honda Silverwing 600 Suzuki Burgman 650 I use a Honda Reflex scooter to commute to work. Is the Reflex better or cooler then the above bikes? I Do Not Know, but the Reflex is my choice of scooter, and I am happy with that choice. It is my hope that you will be as happy with the bike you choose to ride as I am with the one I choose to ride. Ride Safe
Q: Is it like a stick car? that it will roll back on hills and i need to be shifting and all that stuff?
Motorcycles are harder to ride on then to drive a car. Other factors are involved such as balance, steering lean, and front/rear brake control. There is an American made motorcycle that takes the clutch and shifting part of the equation and removes it though. Take a look at the Ridley Automatic Motorcycles link.
Q: What brand of motorcycle fuel economy to save money
YAMAHA car fuel-efficient? I feel very fueled it
Q: A motorcycle‘s brake is designed to absorb 35 KJ/s. The motorcycle and rider have a mass of 280 KG and are travelling at 100km/h. How fast will they be going after 3 seconds of braking?[Solution plus Answer please]
Best to cut out and re-solder. You can buy connectors that will easily connect the section cut out adjacent to the hole. It is very important you buy the connector first so you will know the slip distance and from that you will know how wide a cut to make in your leaking pipe. Carefully prepare for the soldering - it is easy if you prepare properly. Be careful of fire while soldering - many buildings burn to the ground as a result of soldering/welding.
Q: I'm thinking about riding one in vancouver, and god knows it rains a lot there. Is it safe though? and what other gears should i wear/use/put on aside from raincoat to keep me dry? Thank you
Like everyone else said, if you have the right gear you will be okay. However, driving a motorcycle is dangerous enough. Riding in the rain is just adding to that danger. The reality is the roads can get slippery. I remember I was driving by the mall and it was starting to rain so it really wasn't anything too bad. But the guy on the motorcycle in front of me almost had an accident. And to top it off he was being an idiot and not wearing a helmet.Even though it was on his head. He had it so that it was fitting him like a baseball cap.
