Just got my new bike!

Hello everyone! A while back i got a 2007 Shadow Spirit 750, and i kind of wanted something bigger after driving it a while. (although it is a great/fun bike, don't get me wrong) More then that, i wanted better seats, highway bars, a windshield, etc... The works. So instead of spending a couple thou...

Re: Looking for help with Tune-Up questions. (oils, lubes, filters, etc)

haha, yeah good point. I figured that was the case but the marketing has got so crazy now days. When i went to get oil, i was looking at one brand that had "Motorcycle cruiser oil", "motorcycle speed bike oil", and "jetski oil". But when i looked closer, they all had th...

Re: Looking for help with Tune-Up questions. (oils, lubes, filters, etc)

Thanks for the reply. I do have the service manual. The service manual doesn't say what kind of lube to use for things like the kickstand, choke cable, or peg hinges. I'm assuming prob not wd40 =), but i'm not sure what kind. Also the service manual doesn't specify synthetic oil or not. I've been to...

Looking for help with Tune-Up questions. (oils, lubes, filters, etc)

Hello again! I recently got a new bike, i only had my old one for a couple months, but it seemed to small. Anyways, i just got a 2004 Honda VTX 1300c. I'll put some pictures up in a couple days. So far, i love it, it runs good, but seems like it could use a tune up. It backfires some when releasing ...

Re: Is this a good bike to buy? I'm thinking about it and would love a second opinion. =)

Thanks again for all the great advise, after more thought i think i'm going to go with a local bike for sale at a shop where i live. I'm kind of feel some regret, because that 1100 with the salvage is so much cheaper and has all the upgrades. But i don't want to be SOL when i want to sell it later, ...
