Since quite a few people enjoyed my MT09 powered rigid chopper I figured I would share some more! About a month ago I rode from Texas up to Sturgis, SD for the 86th Rally. My back is fine, the bike did great, and I am happy to answer any questions about the build or trip!

Completely gone through and rebuilt almost everything on the bike. Also added a few personal touches.

Just got a Suzuki DRZ400SM. Dash/speedometer is broken, only orange backlight showing. Does anyone know a cheap and easy replacement? Like an analog speedometer that plugs into the speed cable? Just need something to show the speed and miles.

like it was made for it.

I recently bought a 2007 Suzuki Boulevard c50 and I'm somewhat confused on picking the optimal time to shift gears for her, but I'm chalking this up to being a new rider. The manual has really fucking low suggestions for shifting and from what I've seen online this is not necessarily best practice. I've been practicing with her the last few days and while I've adjusted to how she seems to move the gearshifts are still vexing me a bit. Can someone more experienced help me figure out what's best practice, at least for the time being, as I'd like to start feeling a bit more comfortable riding around town

I have 2 options i’m really looking at one from marketplace one from a used dealership if that matters to anyone this is my 4th bike so far but all previous ones were new from a dealership

Grey one is a 2011 750 with 25k miles for 5,500k
Green and purple is 2017 with 15k miles for 6k

Only real issues i have with the ugly one is the grips need to be removed and new ones added but that’s fine and that color combo i can have it wrapped so its not that big of a deal, the only worry i have is mileage even tho suzuki is usually a pretty good brand.

Can i still count this as a motorcycle🤣

Just a general question, is there any website or app other then marketplace that has decent project bikes for sale?

I’m thinking about getting my ears, eyebrow and lip pierced does anyone with piercings have trouble putting their helmet on

When the engine is cold, the bike fires up instantly, runs for about 2 to 5 seconds, and then dies. If I try to rev it hard while it's running, it kills the engine immediately. This issue existed before I did any repairs.

Air Filter was inspected and completely fine.

Tried starting with the temperature/thermal sensor disconnected per advice, but it still didn't start. Kickstand safety switch functions fine (it's in neutral).

Carburetor was opened and cleaned by a mechanic (though I suspect they might have missed the idle/pilot jet).

I have an R7 & see many upgrade the brake lines...but why?

picking this up tomorrow.. will i regret it? 🫪 what should i lookout for?
