and yea since it is a 110 cc yes i do need an endosement but.and as far as clubs go they have one in oregon.but its for the liler bikes like the acctuly pocket bikes mines a mid bike.but yea

110cc, yea I bet that lil thing cooks. I' wanna get out on Pacific Raceways course. Neither of my bikes are for that really. If you are joined with certain groups, they have open rides where you can take your street bike to the track with the group, but I'd like to have one specifically designated for that.

Her is their main page - http://pacificraceways.com/

Yea, thats a cool little bike. But even with the lights a turn signals, I dont think you can register it for the road to get the license plate. But Im not an expert on that. My son saw it and wants one now....

[TheOne]

you can get it regesiterd and a license plate if you have mirrors on it.its fast enough to keep up with cars.but your so low to the ground it would be hard for a car to see you.so id ride it in the bike lane or sidewalk.but since its a 110 cc you must have a ("license") to ride it on public road ways.witch i dont so i ride it on our private property.and even wen im on back roads cops dont seem to mind.but i think cause itsnot a full size bike.but yea

[VHMLLC]

went to the links you put up. cool bikes looks like fun. but your right dont think id get next to a car or truck.

How much have you spent on maintenance for your bike?

I just paid $170 for 2 air filters, 2 oil filters and 2 gallons of synthetc oil. (2 bikes)

Then, on the way to work my 1 and only headlight bunt our, Kawasaki wants $54 for a new one. Glad aftermarket ones are much cheaper ($6 to $25)

What do you drive? Have you thought about a street bike?

Sunny day, motorcycle, Mt Ranier...

[iPodrodder]

Glad things are all right for your family.

Smart move keeping it off the streets too. A small bike like that in the middle of Seattle could turn into a big problem.

Ever take it off any sweet jumps?

I bet that little Kawi is a great commuter. Nice and light too...probably 350lbs?? Sounds like you might have worked on your bikes a bit RaMcVey. Ever do any work on/replace the ignition control unit in either of your bikes?? I just pulled out my Honda cb650 and found the ignition control melted. I did a quick DIY fix with epoxy (to replace the permatex that melted away) and now it starts, but only runs for 10 sec. or so. Any thoughts??

Gland to hear you're into two wheels TheOne. Respect that bike of yours, sounds like it has some power!!! what kinda MPG do you get?

[TheOne]

well so far ive spent just about. 3-4 bucks on this bike.so far,,but thats only cause i needed to change out the factory oil and put better oil in the bike..well as far as a street bike goes.yea i would like to get one.but i wish i had the money for one.cause street bikes are sweet...but yea i have never taken it off any jumps.that would be a dumb thing to do on this bike or any pocket really.cause i just dont think they are made to be rough with.i thinki nice dirt bike would be good for jumps.but doing jump on this bike would more than likely crack the frame.and plus it has a lol plastic gas tank..adn i wouldnt want that to crack cause gas on a hot engine and yea lol

I was kidding, just stole a line from Napoleon Dynamite.

that movie was awesome.i should watch it right now.

The one I ride the most, 2002 Concours.. 685 lbs, its a moose around town but on the hwy its great. My inseam is a lil bit short for this bike so Im on my toes at lights and such but I still love this bike and its getting about 48 mpg.

Bike 2 is my fiance's bike, 2003 Ninja 500, yea about 350 lbs. It has a much lower seat, feet flat on the ground with room to flex the knees, which makes for a much more confident ride around town and has been averaging 60 mpg on the hwy.

No, I have not done any ignition work on any of my bikes. Never having seen/heard you bike or whatnot so this is just guess work on my part. Im in electronics not mechanics but I do 90% of the work on all of my vehicles. It kinda sounds like a vacume or fuel issue to me. Did it behavior change start with the repair or before the repair?

I would be interested if the epoxy you used is specific for electrical use. Some materials, will build up an static charge even though they dont conduct electricity. Take a balloon for example. Rubber/latex are insulators, but if you rub a balloon on your head... static. Could your ignition be experiencing an issue like this. 10 seconds to build up a charge high enough to make the ignition shut off... Poke the epoxy with a multimeter and if you get any numbers at all, that could be a problem. You want infinite resistance between the connectors.

[Rich McVey]

well as far as a street bike goes.yea i would like to get one.but i wish i had the money for one.cause street bikes are sweet...

If you get the chance to get one, here are my thoughts...

From your other posts, your concerned with gas prices. I would suggest keeping the engine size under 500cc and keep it to a single or dual piston. While more cylinder and displacement get you the power, they are also less efficient.

One of the "Dual Sport" bikes, Honda CRF230L I think, is getting 90+ mpg. Ninja 250 has nice pop and there saying 60+ mpg. There are a couple cruiser modles that are in the 70+ range as well, Harley 883 Sportster ~55 mpg. The Sept issue of Cycle World has an article about the better milage bikes.

Then again the 4 cylinder bikes are much smoother and have the "Fun Factor" amplified.

Used Bikes, great way to start out. All of mine have been used. Look for lower miles and smooth sounding when running. Dry engine case. Small scrapes and dings are ok for the most part, but long scratches indicate laying it down at speed which typically causes more issues then tipping it over, bent frame and such.

RentonMotorcycles (dot com) is the shop you'll find me at, all 4 of the big Japan bike makers, Swift Customs... and now Harley. All at one place. Hundreds of bikes on display.

Last and most important, I REALLY encourage taking a certified riding class, even for people that have riden before (like me, I rode for years before taking the class and Im glad I did). Lots of good info, new techniques, and you get a break on your insurance for having a cert.

Were looking into gear for taking the bikes camping and touring around instead of the truck. This should be fun.

[TheOne]

there is no problems with my bike.then only thing thats worng with it is the shifter got a lil bit bent on the way here from cali.but outher than that.it works great.so far i have only spent about $3-$4.and that was on motorcycle oil.but i might be getting a new air filter witch should only be like mabey $20-$30

[Rich McVey]

I got a stock replacement air filter for this tune up but I think Im going with the reusable high performance one next time.
