Bre asked:

My owner’s manual says to adjust the valves at 25,000 miles and my local mechanic said it was ok to go longer if the bike was running well and sounded ok.
It’s now at 39,000 and is getting a lot of valve noise. The bike still runs strong despite the overhead valve noise. I will be adjusting the valves myself. What
problems should I expect from a 14,000 miles overdue valve adjustment?

Lacey F asked:

I am originally from Florida, there it is a crime to drive any vehicle off a lot without insurance. My boyfriend bought a motorcycle here in California and they never mentioned anything to him about it. He was involved in an accident shortly after purchasing the bike and he did not have insurance, can we go after the dealership for not making it a requirement? If of course it’s the law in California?

asked:

Our motorcycle club sometimes gets faced with the question “We ride with you anyway so why do we need to join the motorcycle club?”
We feel the club is about a lot more than JUST riding, but some people just don’t get it.

Andrew H asked:

I was just wondering how bad it is to buy a motorcycle that was rebuilt in terms of everything, insurance, performance, registration. I’m going for a cheap bike either way around 1500$ and I just figured that if it has been rebuilt a lot of the pieces are good right? You can probably tell I don’t know much about bikes.

What are the most common damages to a dropped motorcycle?

Rugie asked:

I’m considering buying a motorcycle that needs a lot of work. I want to really get it into pristine condition. I’m very much a beginner and dropping my bike a few times is probably inevitable. What should I hold off on fixing up as it will most likely get damaged with dropping until I get out of the “beginner” category? Thanks :)

Jeff P asked:

I’m going to be getting a motorcycle in the next week and I would like to know which bike would be the best for me to get. I have to drive on the highway and the speed limit is 65 and a lot of the people go atleast 70-75 so I just want to make sure that the bike would be able to handle that. I haven’t had a bike before so I would like to get something that looks nice and is both beginner friendly and can still hold it’s own. Thanks!

How fast can a 125cc motorcycle go, and how economical are they?

dezza asked:


I am wondering whether to use a 125cc scooter for commuting 8 miles each way, mainly on a 50mph road with an incline, and on a national speed limit dual carriageway for around quarter of a mile.
Would a 125cc motorcycle be suited for this? I also live in quite a hilly area, but all the hills are 30mph limits – would a scooter be able to handle this?
Also, would using this sort of scooter use up a lot of fuel?

Thanks in advance.

Mike D asked:


I’m finding some used motorcycles that have about 4k-6k miles on them and then occasionally I’ll see one with 14k miles on them. From the looks of it, most people are getting rid of theirs at only a couple thousand miles. How many miles, would you say, is a lot for a motorcycle?
