broke

Fixed

I was checking out Craigslist last night and found an absolutely AWESOME deal on a CR5. The bike looks like new, its 7 years younger than mine, its in great shape, and the price is more than reasonable. Only problem is I have no damn money :bang head::bang head: Arrrrrgh. Just needed to vent a...

I was pulling out of a bike night cruise and SNAP there went the throttle, after checking it out ( at midnight on the side of the road) I see there's a point where it splits into two lines, my question does it come apart there or do I need to buy the whole cable? Any help would be appreciated...

Filled up with gas and went to reset my gas gauge and the knob to reset it spun freely...the gear inside must be broken. Anyone else ever come across this? Not sure if I need a whole new speedo or what. Strange as the bike only has 12K on it. If I push on the knob I am able to get the numbers...

Broke a sweat trying to bust a nut.... Get your mind out of the gutter! I installed my engine guards on my 05 Vmax and the damn frame bolt on the right side was a bear to get off. It looks like they put blue loc-tight on the threads from the factory, so I broke a sweat trying to bust a nut...

So I got my forks all back together (progressive springs, 15wt. oil) and was pumped about getting everything back together, when I slammed myself right into the old proverbial "brick wall". I was re-installing the "air collars" back on, I didn't have the circlips back on the fork tubes and one...

Was reversing the bike out of a driveway and caught the rear header on the edge of the kerb. Lifted the bike with the handlebars and freed it up but while I was lifting my arm applied force to the brake lever and SNAP. The bastard broke clean off near where the lever meets the pivot...

:confused2:Yes, my swingarm broke completly in half on the left side. Well I installed my new Shinko tire last weekend and broke the tire in. Went riding over the weekend with my buddy on his ZRX1200. Well I was taking advantage of the tire and pulling wheelies starting at 20MPH sliding the...

Took the Max out for a ride today with a friend that just picked up his '85 with similar mods, and a friends sporty. We got on it and I've noticed since I put my dyna on that it doesn't seem to be pulling quite as hard and I'm not carrying the front tire when I snag 2nd or 3rd like I used to...

I broke a valve cover bolt while putting my front valve cover back on. So my question is? If I take that cam shaft cap off and take out the broken bolt? Do I need to loosen all the cam shaft cap bolts and re torque them is a criss cross pattern? Or is it ok to just re torque that one cam shaft...

Well crap!!! Broke my left hand last week and had to have surgery Monday. Titanium plates and screws installed :damn angry: Was tightening the rotor bolts on my new wheel when I snapped one off thus smashing my hand into the frame. 2nd worse break the surgeon had seen on the #5 metacarpal...

Out with a bunch of guys on a long ride today and I was riding the Max a little hard. Ran like a scalded cat most of the day and all of a sudden.....starting losing power and couldn't get it over 45mph no matter what gear I was in. I also heard some chattering from, what sounded like, the...
