So I want to get a new bike, currently I have a 2014 FZ6R which is a very upright and comfortable ride. I know I either want a Suzuki GSXR 600 or a Yamaha FZ-09 but I can't decide which to get. Money isn't really the problem I can find both within my budget the only thing that concerns me about...

Hi all, Maybe i'm just paranoid or i'm not used to mechanical vs hydraulic lifters, but when I hit the accelerator hard on my GS550ES around 4100ish rpm, the bike makes a fairly loud rapping/tapping sound that doesn't really sound like normal valve noise. This lasts all the way up to 6500ish...

I'll try to keep this short and to the point. I purchased a 2002 Suzuki VS800 Intruder with about 7500mi 3 weeks ago. I upgraded from a 2004 Honda Rebel.

I've been messing around on a 2004 kawasaki kx250f through some fields now for about 2 years. I do ride it on some back country roads with no cars on it from time to time but I am sure that isn't the same as driving in the city. I was thinking about getting a gsx r 750 next year once I am able...

A couple of days ago I tried changing the oil on my 79 gs850. It's a project bike that I recently got running and I wanted to make it in ridable condition as the oil inside was really old and worn. While taking out the bolt I learned that the oil pan had been stripped. I bought a tap which I've...
