How to find the right bike for me.?
a' aa. you are kid. you must ride bike without engine..
Reply:well i think what the right thing for you to do is to talk to your parents about it then ask them to take you to any sports store or even wal-mart to try to find the right bike for you. good luck.

Reply:If you're just looking for an easy ride, then get a 21-speed from Academy. They range in price from $60-150, so make sure you're getting what you want when you buy one. If you're looking for a bike to exercise on, then get a bike with no gears. There are tons of bike with no gears and those are the PERFECT type of bike to have for exercise. This will make you do more work and get you into shape fast. Otherwise, just take a trip to Academy.

Good Luck!
Reply:wow...all you people are 'tarded the kid is asking about bikes with 4 and 2 strokes in the motorcycle section and you all assume he's talking about a huffy, just cause he's 12...whats wrong with riding something dangerous if your parents approve and you have the ability and knowledge that you can get hurt?








Dude, Yamaha will set you up. best thing to do is to call up their people and give them a little info. They will have alot more experience on the handling qualities and power of all their vehicles and can give you an idea of what you can shoot for in your riding range.


Motorcycle advice?

I am looking into buying a 1989 suzuki GSX 500 with 18k miles. its in great condition, near mint. I am a new rider, with little to no experience. I am also 5`11" and just under 140lbs. (im a girl, lol) The sellers wants $1650 for it. is this a good deal like i think or should i look for something else?





thanks
Motorcycle advice?
look around and find a better deal not that great
Motorcycle advice?
Not that bad of a deal. However, I have a few suggestions.





First, actually inspect the bike with your own eyes. It is not a good idea to buy a used motorcycle over the Internet sight unseen.





Bring a friend. If you do not have your motorcycle license yet, bring a friend with a motorcycle license. Bring two helmets.





First, check some of the obvious items. It will give you an idea of how the bike was maintained.





Look at the chain. Is it rusty? Is it adjusted to near its limit?





If it has adjustable brakes, are they adjusted to their limit? If it has disk brakes, are the disks rusty, pitted or grooved?





If the bike has a center stand, put it on the center stand. Have your friend hold the bike steady. Pull on the rear wheel from side to side. Is there any play in the swing arm?





Look at the tires. Is there good tread? Is there any weather checking?





Look at the oil. Does it look black and neglected or does it look like it had a recent change?





Look at the overall appearance. Is there lots of rust? Are pieces missing or broken? Are there any bad scratches or dents that you are unwilling to accept? Is the seat ripped?





Start the engine. Did the owner warm it up before you got there or was the engine cold? Was it easy to start? Did it turn over well or did the battery sound weak? Did it smoke when it started? Any unusual sounds? Is there excessive valve clatter?





Take it for a ride. How does the engine run? Does it smoke? Does the transmission shift smoothly? Does the clutch slip? Are the brakes firm? Do the brakes squeal? Are there any unusual rattles? Does the suspension work well or easily bottom out?





Any defects you find are something that you may need to deal with in the future. Some items can be inexpensive to repair. However, some motorcycle parts can be surprisingly expensive. If it is an older bike, spare parts may not be readily available. Once you buy it, any repairs required to keep it on the road will be your responsibility.





It helps to know at what price bikes of similar size and age sell for in your local area. This will help you judge if the bike is priced correctly. Watch the classifieds.





If you decide to buy it, get yourself a maintenance manual. I got a Clymer manual for my bike on eBay for about $25. It will pay for itself the first time you use it.
Reply:Price : Mileage : Years = Good deal.





However, I would find a local motorcycle repair shop. Offer to pay the mechanic there $50 to come check out the bike before you buy. He can tell you if it's really a good deal. The seller should let the mechanic test drive it.
Reply:It's not that bad of a deal, especially if it is in great shape mechanically as well as body wise. Bring someone familiar with bike along with you to look for problems/concerns and help you with the fit.

What is the difference between a mini quad and a quad?

I am looking to purchase a quad for a first time rider. It's for a child and I am wondering if the mini quad is just smaller hense the mini title? Or is it like those mini dirt bikes that look like tiny ninja bikes? The engine sizes are the same I think (on the quads) so Im just wondering exactly why the mini in front of it?
What is the difference between a mini quad and a quad?
i assume a mini quad is like a mini moto.a bit to small even for a child realy.if your child is only young go for an auto with restrictable throttle.some quads for children even have a cord that raps round your wrist so if your child takes off it pulls out and cuts off the engine.
What is the difference between a mini quad and a quad?
a mini quad is the 4 wheel ver of a pocket bike from 50cc to 110cc ish top speeds are about 35 screeming, Yes its the 4wheeler ver of the "tiny ninja bikes"

bike batterys wont have much charge in them.i even had to put the acid in the cells myself last time i bought one.dont worry its not hard and every things supplied plus instructions
Reply:Bike batteries only last 2-3 years if yours is older ,time for a new one.





Call ahead to the shop and ask them to put your new battery on the charger so it's juiced up when you get it.
Reply:probobly need a new battery ,also check its charging ok on the bike as the regulator rect aint the best on these bikes when they get old
Reply:your new battery will need charged before fitting but that may not be the fault...its etither the stator coils or more likely the voltage gregulator/rectifier..


DMV laws for 150 cc Moped in VA?

I was thinking about getting a moped with 60+ MPH. Do I need to get a motorcycle liscense and how much is usually insurance a month for one of these things?
DMV laws for 150 cc Moped in VA?
In Va a moped is defined as having a motor less than 50cc and having a maximum speed of 30mph. Anything bigger/faster than that is considered to be a motorcycle. Therefore, you would need a motorcycle endorsement in order to operate it. I'm not sure of the insurance. You would probably get different answers from different insurance companies. I would suggest taking MSF basic riders course. This will help you get you endorsment and may get you a discount on you insurance.
