I've used motion pro cables for years and they always work great. On a side note I had something similar but it was my clutch lever that snapped

Looks like that bike needs a ton of TLC. Just remember project bikes can get expensive and most likely you won't get the money back out of it that you put into it. Unless you get insanely lucky and find someone who has a lot of parts for cheap. Fairings and plastics can get expensive alone. If you a...

Dare I ask for a ballpark on the Lifepo4? Has anyone tried a MotoBatt MB12U? About $71 on amazon, listed as a YB12ALA replacement (my current batt with term adapters). Also listed for the FZR600 on the motobatt site. I'm leaning toward trying one... I use a Motobatt MB12U and have so since last yea...

I did use rust olem and I got mine at menard's which is like home depot or lowe's. I believe walmart also carries it also.

I just did a 400 grit wet sand on the frame and then used a grease and wax remover to clean it , used a tack cloth to get all the stuff I couldn't get wiping it down. Then I sprayed it with self etching primer which also has a bonding agent in it to make the paint stick better. I did 2 coats of prim...

Here is a couple pictures of my first attempt at priming and painting. I just practiced sanding , priming , painting and prep of a extra fairing piece I had laying around. I'm not a professional but it made me want to go and buy the spray guns and paint to attempt to paint it using spray guns and no...

I'm not expert when it comes to painting but I been doing some lately. I guess the best thing to is if you have a old plastic for the bike practice on it first and see what kind of results you get , cause this is what I did at first. Painting is 95% prep and 5% painting. If your prep work is not goo...

No way I'd buy it without a title. If it's so easy why hasn't he done it ? I dunno who was saying 200-300 to make it nice toy You will spend way more than that for sure.

Uh , couldn't someone just re-stamp the numbers ? Pretty sure I've heard of people doing that before when they swap frames and such.

That's one thing I never have to worry about is my girl getting jealous of me riding my bike. My GF rides also on her own bike *03 R6* and she can hang tough with the guys who think they know how to ride. lol We ride a lot together and it's probably the most time we get to actually chill and spend t...

Good Luck and hopefully she fires up

It's really hard to say without being there to see the condition on the cables , the routing and if they have dried out and just need lubed or the grips or bar end are causing a confilict. You could have to much slack in the cables also which is cause the two cables not to push pull properly. Easy w...

If you have a dremel tool you can cut a cross pattern on the screw head and then use a bigger flat head to take it off. This is how I usually get those pesky suckers out. You have to take the throttle housing apart to lube the throttle cables but that won't be the best way to lube. I take mine off a...

I use the liquid wrench chain lube as it also says cable lube also. " Apply to any chain or wire cable. Stays put on moving parts to reduce friction. Prevents corrosion. Use on bicycles, throttle cables and garage door chains. Reduces wear. Prevents oxidization. Anti-sling formula. Safe for O-ring &...

Did you try lubing the cable ? also did you checked to make sure both cables are adjusted correctly? I dunno if you have bar ends and grips on yet but that can actually cause it also if the bar end isn't right or the grip isn't far enough on the throttle tube. Hope that made sense
