gas

Hello everyone, My name is Louis, the proud owner of a 2014 Kawasaki Ninja 300. I am 25 years old and live in California, which means year-round riding. :wink2: I'm new here, so I hope to join the community, meet other riders nearby, and learn as much as I can since I am a complete novice when...

Hi! I am fairly new to riding. Got my license in September and my bike in January. My car crapped out on me, so I rely on my motorcycle as my main mode of transportation everywhere (thankfully, everything I need is within a 5 mile radius). I ride a Yamaha V-Star 250. Unfortunately, I don't know...

I recently repainted my candy red '85 Rebel 250 matte black with plasti dip. This involved removing the front and rear fenders along with the gas tank and repainted them. After painting and reassembling, the bike just wouldn't start! As soon as I tipped it over to put it back into the garage...

I recently bought a 2002 Honda Shadow 600 VLX DLX. I bought it used on Craigslist with only 8,8XX miles on it. It runs amazing, no problems with anything. After taking it on the highway, going faster than I normally go (55+), I felt gas droplets on my leg, but not enough gas to actually make my...

I have been hearing about E15 pump gas, from all that I have read it is murder on an engine and actually not to be run in anything older than mid 2000's. I know that there have been some inquires from the AMA as to why we need E15. Anyone have any thoughts on or ethanol in general. Do any of...

I recently purchased a 1997 Triumph Thunderbird. I've been tracking the mileage with every fill up of the tank. I've gone from 47 mpg, to 42, and yesterday was at 39 mpg. I know mileage can vary, but this seems like a bit much. What should I check and/or be aware of that would make the...

I dumped my bike, now the only thing I need for it to be completely restored is a fuel tank and a rear fender. The fender I could care less about but if I find one I'd buy it. I REALLY NEED A TANK! PLEASE HELP! The bike is my only vehicle and without it I can't even get to a job

On my motorcycle there is a gas stain on the tank of the bike and it was there when i bought it. I can't post links yet but Now the stain goes down the side about another 5 inches. What should i do to try and get rid of it to make it match with the rest of the bike and to get back its shiny...

You don't need any fancy pump to drain your tank, only a hose and a rag. Stick the hose in the tank all the way to the bottom. Wrap the rag around the hose at the tank to "seal" the opening. It doesn't have to seal well at all. Blow hard into the hose to put some pressure in the tank...

Ok...I'm sick of these gass prices. I got a van to be practical because I work and have worked for dog kennels where I needed to tote dogs around all the time. WIll my van eats up a lot of gas. I have always wanted a motorcycle and I have a few questions about the Honda Rebel. How is it on...

I have a 1973 honda CB 450, the tank is very rusted and I have tried repeatedly to clean out the tank, every time the rust seems to return, and it's gotten to the point where it cloged the fuel line and the petcock. I read some about people recommending abrasives others recommending chemical...
