The first bike I ever owned was a CB550K, Not a bad bike but crude by todays standards. I've prob had close to a dozen bikes since then... This is what I have now.

I was just looking at an 83 Nighthawk 650 that is a beaut. Bike looks perfect and has about 6500 miles. Makes me want to buy it just because it looks so good. Congrats on the new toy.

 

I have an 05 Honda VTX 1800F in the basement that has 3500 miles. I bought it brand new. Awesome bike I just never ride it.

What's a good cross bike? One where I can take off road (not super heavy duty) and one that is street legal as well?

KAW KLR650, Suz DR650 or DRZ400. The Honda is nice too but goesn't have a big enough fuel tank.

It's always fun to pick up little "projects" just to be creative with. I did that two years back with a Kawy 250 Ninja. Paint/pipes/carb kit/seat cover and I was blasting all around the hood. Sold it a few months later to one of my kids buddies, just for what I had in it of course. Now I have a Suzuki 800 Volusia....

Yamaha GTS1000, rare! Swingarm front end.... I have heard the steering is a little heavier than most bikes, but they ride nicer. Nice man! I think those were out in like early to mid nineties, and were a one year run in the US.

This is my lastest ride, 1999 Kawasaki Ninja ZX-6, I bought it this spring with less than 12,000 miles on it for VERY cheap. I have had a Honda Sabre, Harley Sporster, and a 09 Streetglide which had to go before the new baby came............ My favorite to ride so far is the Ninja

The KLR 650 looks like it would be a fun all purpose commuter bike.

 

I had a KLR650 for awhile as a 2nd bike and it was alot of fun. A great plus is that it has a huge tank and can be ridden a long ways on the road. On the minus side, it has a huge tank and can be a little top heavy on the 1st gear woods trails.

There were 500 red ones in 1993 and 500 blue ones in1994, so yep it is a pretty rare bike. This is the only bike I have ever ridden that doesn't get upset at full lean in the corner if you hit a bump or hole. Steering is heavy in the parking lot, but on the road it's not noticable.

 

This bike is in my collection now with my (3) early 70's Honda CT70's (2 of which are "H" models) and my 1986 Honda Z50RD "Chrome Special".

      Those can be high, as well as the big California cities. The ones that will pop your eyes out are the 395 corridor on the Eastern side of the Sierra Nevadas. Lee Vining, $7.19 for regular and $8.89 for diesel is what the Google said right now.

      Correct.  2019-2021 model years are serviced by a different p/n.  19420611.  Recall 2021s use 19420611.   The recall engines 2022-2024 model years are serviced with 12740076.     The difference between 19420611 and 12740076 is GM changed injector size for 2022.  The injectors are smaller on 12740076 with smaller injector bores in the cylinder heads to match the smaller injectors.  So you can't install a 19420611 in a 2022-2024, and you can't install a 12740076 in a 2019-2021.     Both engines are the replacement engine p/ns that are in the L87 recall.  So both of these are the updated engines.     Here's a version of the L87 recall with the p/ns for all the parts needed.    RCRIT-25V274-7075.pdf   Note it shows 19420611 and 12740076 with an asterisk to a footnote "Use the VIN and the GM Electronic Parts Catalog (EPC) to determine which part to order if two or more part numbers are listed for the same part, as it may vary by vehicle options."

      2020 Trailboss 6.2 replacement

      By 2017Z · Posted

      Looking for advice from this group. Took my flawless 2020 6.2 TB to an unnamed shop for routine rear brakes and oil change. Tech forgot to put oil back in after the full service and needles to say, destroyed my engine.  It’s all on their shop video so they are responsible.   I had my Chevy dealer do the analysis and they confirmed its compromised and said engine replacement. The manager said they only get GM reman engines from GM with full 3 yr warranty and the one they would put in is not same as what’s they are swapping out on 21-25 for recall.    I am looking for advice why that would be a different engine because obviously I had the good 6.2 year and replacing it has my concerns with that recall for 21-15   Also what’s the pros and cons of accepting the engine swap vs telling the shop that bricked the truck to pay up so I buy a new truck. I’m concerned about stigma resale eventually if I just decide to get rid of it after the swap or other issues showing up after the swap out.

      AFM Disabler Question

      By GN2018 · Posted

      Just looked up my records.  I've never gone over 5000 miles between oil changes.  At 46K miles, I have 10 oil changes.  I hope that will help.  I also installed the disabler last year.  I've still had a few times when it didn't seem to engage (which I can tell because the start stop feature kicks in), but for the most part, I think it's working.  For some reason, GM did not include the number of cylinders running in the information screen like I had on other models.  In my Cadillac, it shows me when it's running on 4 cylinders on the fuel milage screen.  I can't find that on my '21 Denali.
