Admin Please Close Thread! Thanks.

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you skilled and knowledgeable riders would possibly do a write up (labeling) about everything a new rider would need to know like for example; where frame sliders would go to where the oil filter is located and what not is. I and every other newbie on here would be very grateful to you guys. I've downloaded the pictures you can use to label on. Thanks!

are you serious??? All that info is already here for any newbie to find...

Just search around.. There is an oil change video thread and a several thready with images on frame sliders..

harsh... but yeah thats a LOT to type... and it would get lost in the stacks of threads in the future anyways... =/

Best thing for our sanity is to work the search feature. lol

I've done some lengthy write ups already in other posts, and I really would rather not spend my day retyping them, and organizing everything.

Most questions from newbies are singular, or a set of one topic, not a matter of "I need to know everything now" So searching threads gives them a chance to find new things they didnt know before, and find it in their own way. Everyone's interest is sparked in different ways.

Sorry bro! ;d

I was not trying to be harsh at all, just such a off the wall question it almost seems like something a "troll" would do..

 

[unrest]

Search there's heaps of stuff with links to vids

If you have a specific question feel free to ask away, rather than a just a give me everything you know about the bike, because that is a bit much.. no harm though, its the joys of being a noobie

 

[ghost3772]

plus its kinda intimidating for new people with a heap on info.. they can take it in small portions.. butnot in large amounts, learning is meant to be a slow process.

Its like leaping into a novel to get one or 2 pieces of info, when you could read a short article and get what you need. same concept. lazyness at its best says your gonna read less to get what you want.

 

[ayosebz]

yeah of course guys, i'll ask if i need any info or help. everyone on heres been great help so far. oh, i was just wondering about buying a helmet, where did u guys get urs n what do u have? i was thinking the shoei rf-1100 from revzilla or possibly a shoei qwest (i got a somewhat intermediate oval to round shaped head :/. saw their site from youtube videos n also checked out the store when i was in PA. great people n very kind n friendly n helpful.

I got mine from Cycle Gear, not sure if you have one in your area but they have a great return policy if you end up not liking it after wearing it a few times

I dont like ordering helmets online for some reason, its just something I would rather look over in person before I buy it..

i was just wondering about buying a helmet, where did u guys get urs n what do u have?

I have two.. A shoei X-12 and a HJC Cl-16. and as strange as it may sound for everyday riding i prefer the HJC. It just seems to fit better..and for the money its a great deal. I would definitely recommend buying at a retail store for the simple fact that online helmets are 50/50 on sizes. Its always better to try it on.

 

[ghost3772]

I got mine from revzilla as well. Was VERY pleased with the service with them. had to exchange it for a smaller size, was no problem, etc etc all around, a good business! lol

I have a nolan n43 trilogy in mat grey
I also bought a bell revolver off another forum member, its in the mail, but from what I hear thats a good helmet.

Shoe would be be my first choice if I had the money lol they are way comfy'r

Agree with helmets always try them on certain brands feel better than others depending on head shape, personally I have a Shoei head and just got a new neotec, plus the shop changed the cheek pads by 2mm for nothing, somethings can't be done online unless it is an exact replacement

 

[ghost3772]

revzilla will take any return, or exchange.. if it doesnt fit, return it.. lol idk I'm advocating them because I had a very pleasant experience with them haha

 

[ayosebz]

Hana, I can vouch for revzilla as well. Good experience going there n looking around n trying things on. What I would recommend is try the helmets on at a local shop n get the size n everything n then order it from revzilla. Lol they also got reward points $5 for every $100 spent.
