Do T-bars really have a significant handling benefit over say Z-bars or Ape bars??

6 Upvotes

I understand the rationale behind T-bars, its one solid piece bolted onto the triple tree. On my triumph however it'd be easier and cheaper to just get Z-bars. Wondering if theres a tangible performance difference between the two

1995 Suzuki Intruder With Dyna 3000 cdi

I have a running problem with my bike, I installed a all balls carb kit and synced carburetors and the bike doesn’t want to stay running I tried the cdi with no settings on it and boost controller connected it back fires every few seconds then turns off then I plugged boost sensor it runs fine but still turn off after a minute then I tried turning on 2,4,5 on the dyna 3000 cdi without boost sensor it runs but dies after a few seconds. I can’t debate weather I supposed to keep the boost sensor or remove it or change my cdi settings. The bike is completely stock

Dealing with flat front tyre

5 Upvotes

I've had a midwinter look at my bike and it seems that at some point my front tyre has sprung a leak and is now flat. I have a servo maybe 400m up the road, but since it's the front tyre and tubed I don't think it's a smart move to even try to ride it.

How hard is it to remove a front tyre on a Vulcan, or should I try to partially inflate it with a bike pump or something?

What are some suggestions for getting rid of the first bike nervousness? I know how to ride, took the safety courses, have all the gear. Recently, there has been an uptick in motorcycle accidents in my city and had gotten in my head. My motorcycle is a stock Sportster 883. Has this ever happened to anyone else?

22 HD Nightster or 23 Nightster Special?

1 Upvotes

22 HD Nightster - CAD 10K
23 Nightster Special - CAD 13K

I do like the digital speedometer and the passenger pillion seat on the Nightster special. Is it worth the extra $3K?

Mostly want to use for office commute (5mins) and casual weekend rides.

Any thoughts?

Hello, as the title states, I'm a little lost tracking down this oil leak. It's in the left side of the bike, just behind the kickstand area. I have no idea what it is. Any help is appreciated. Thank you.

Is the Honda VTX 1300 a good bike?

15 Upvotes

My dream bike is the Honda VTX 1300 but a lot of people have been telling me it's not that good of a bike and I might be to heavy for the bike (I'm around 6 ft and weigh 235) so I'm like not sure if it's going to be a good bike for me

Upgrading a virago xv1100 to road star 1600

4 Upvotes

So I currently own a 1995 virago 1100 as my first bike. I got a crazy deal on it and didn't have any work to do to make it run so even tho it's nor my favorite visually I bought it and have been having a lot of fun on it. It's been clear to me from the beginning that I would upgrade but didn't have any specific model in mind. I love Harleys, but even second hand they are still above my limited budget.

I recently found a 2000 yamaha road star 1600 for 1900$, no work needed and it's got new pipes handlebars and seat. Visually I really prefer the roadstar, but I'm still wondering if it would be that much of an upgrade in terms of power and comfort compared to the virago.

Finding good looking aftermarket parts for the virago was kind of annoying too because of the measurements, would the roadstar be easier to mod?

Help needed - Tread from the oil drain came off with the drain plug on a Yamaha Bolt

Thumbnail gallery
10 Upvotes

I have a decent problem at hand with my Yamaha Bolt. I was changing my oil and the tread from the oil drain came off with the drain plug. You can see the silver layers on the first photo. Now the plug is not catching the tread on the drain when I try to put it back in. What can I do?

All ideas are welcome as I need the bike and currently it's toast. :(

I have a suzuki intruder, eight hundred nineteen ninety four

I just wanted to know if anyone had any information on the voltage regulator for it, it has three separate wires that are different lengths. And I wanna make sure that they're wired correctly. I can't find anything even in the manual. It just says connect the 3 wires, but it was disconnected when I got the bike. Everything else runs fine, but obviously the battery isn't charging, so i'm just curious if anyone has any information
