No question both those bikes are boring as, but also no question 49hp is plenty for a noob if not the top limit. My 230+ pound son-in-law has a CBR500R as his second ride, it's plenty for him still after 5 years experience he still does not even want to try my MV Agusta yet, he's a smart lad.

I'm talking about the so called underpowered CB500 twin, if you can't make that get up and go there is something wrong with it.

So you say you are raking in the money hand over fist and can't take it in fast enough. I can picture that, how come they were not prepared for it :unsure:

Ya man, he's saying there is no ownership and no original bill of sale. In the eyes of the law it is about the same as owning a chainsaw. I think you need to start with a title search of the VIN through DMV and if nobody ever reported it stolen I think you can proceed with paying all the...

The one I sold to Ron last year looks like it has been crashed to death and left outside. Should be fine once he buys new fender plastics at about 400 bucks for the set with stickers. and new tires ~400 bucks maybe new springs at both ends for another 400 bucks :sneaky: do you see a price...

"CB500x is overweight and waaay underpowered. Even for a noob." :unsure: was something wrong with your bike or did you just need to twist the throttle more.

When was the valve clearance checked, one symptom of over tight valve clearance is difficulty with cold starting.

By the way, did you inspect the air filter and make sure it is not completely stuffed full of mouse nest.

1000 is the minimum, put that (y) none of their darn business anyway.

Own a motorcycle with carburetors? Time to learn how to service carburetors. Don't want to learn how to service carburetors? Might want to consider a motorcycle that has fuel injection.

:LOL: what, you think I have to make **** up or something. It's a beautiful day, go ride something (y)

21 tire changes in one CSBK race season. That's what Jordan said he went through just a couple of years ago.

Do you store your motorcycle in a heated or freezing cold environment over the winter months? "I will order up four carb kits" Highly recommend you service the carbs using the original parts first. All of your problems will be it the lowest part (bottom half) of the carbs. The...

Amazing how many people get all bent out of shape over the word Trials appearing in every one of my posts :LOL: People, it's my Login name, kinda hard not to.

Compound :I it's hard or soft rubber compound, the tire carcass is either radial or bias ply and the number of layers of ply material in the sidewall and tread portion is what determines the tires load carry characteristics. The rubber compound can vary so much with time and from one...

at treating the symptoms. That was the wording they used.

There's the problem, if you told them money she is no object you could get it.

lol That would be stupid fast on the lake but you would never be able to ride it back off my lake afterwards, the hills are too steep and snow is still too deep. Most of the lake surface snow melted and turned to ice, there's better then 18 inches of ice here now. Lake riding is a lot of fun...

That looks like you might have a Norway Maple there, check the leaves out later in the year.

Depends on the year, I have too much left over from last year to boil off this season, I tap about 100 trees normally, yields 8 or so gallons typically but I make it far thicker then legal so it's actually called maple candy. It's awesome in home made buttertarts
