I know the Yamm won't be popular here but there is a good point here that lane filtering reduces traffic and improves safety. If you are in Texas maybe this is something you might want to join in.

Took a short (400 miles) jaunt to get away from the world for a bit after not getting out as much as I wanted last year. Replacing a cracked oil pan last year turned into then welding a new muffler flange into the mid-pipe (collector) because the right side snapped off, which is apparently a common enough issue on these.

I’m pretty sure I would like to go with cfmoto for my first bike. Their features and price are very attractive. Plus many local dealers carry them. Anyways, I’m struggling to decide between a sport bike or a naked style bike. I’m thinking the 675 model would be great to grow into as I learn.

I like the styling and design of the sport but I’ve seen in videos that sometimes they can be uncomfortable. To me it seems the naked would be less comfortable but I have no real experience with moto just mountain biking.

Any thoughts from more experienced riders? Or maybe anyone that owns one of them? Thanks in advance.

A buddy of mine let me borrow his XT250 (I don't have a car right now) which was a godsend. It was fun getting the wheels and tires to the shop. I had to make two trips!

It's not mine (sadly), but look at this god damn BEAST. It was on the list when I was choosing my new ride, but just decoratively due to the price point honestly. Maybe in 10 years, my beloved

I love this thing.

I recently bought a '90 Yamaha XV535. I cleaned the carbs and was able to start it. I then decided to pull the tank and flush it out, replace the fuel filter etc. While the tank was out I took the opportunity to weld a little tab that holds one of the side covers back on with a little flux core welder. At the time of welding the battery was out and all the connectors around the fuel tank were disconnected. Now I've put it back together with a new battery and everything works - except spark!

I'm here kicking myself really hard for being so stupid - welding with the ignition module still connected. But then I did some reading and most stuff suggests that just disconnecting the battery is enough.

I'm going over it again today cleaning and reconnecting all the connectors but I'd welcome any input. Have I fried my ignition or is there a chance it's just a dirty connection?

Maybe I ought to buy him a coloring book to practice on.

Hi all. Noob here back again. I got the screws out of the front master cylinder, but I have been having a different problem.

When under higher RPMs, the bike gives off a VERY strong fuel smell. It's still noticeable at lower RPMs, but not as bad. It didn't do this initially when I got it a few months ago, but I didn't ride it much initially.

Bike is a 2017 Honda Rebel 300. Fuel injected. No carb.

I noticed that the gasket to the gas cap was a bit cracked and distorted so I got a new gas cap. Didn't resolve the issue.

There are no visible leaks anywhere that I can tell.

The smell is very strong around the gas cap and engine, not so much the tailpipe. The bike seems to run great otherwise.

Unfortunately, googling seems to show this as a very nonspecific issue, so I'm a bit lost as to where to begin. I'm a huge noob when it comes to mechanical things.

Thanks!

22,000 miles. Recently serviced. Great little bike.

Slipped a chain, luckly its vietnam so I only had to push the bike down 200 feet of highway and 1 intersection before I found a Honda shop. I'm lucky I wasn't stranded in some mountains or offf-road.

Short trip to west Tokyo.
