Ever since I can remember, in our garage there was always this thing that amazed me. It was different from all the other vehicles we had or that I had been in. It was tucked up against the far wall and was being used as almost like a shelf. Finally mid-fall last year I decided to see what I could do with it. It was my dad’s 1988 Kawasaki Ninja 600r. It's a sleek black with hints of grey and red graphics. The problem with it was that it hadn't ran in 20+ years and needed to be overhauled. I needed a hobby to do at home outside of football and this was the perfect project to keep me busy and stay away from trouble. With no experience at all in restoring motorcycles, the internet I went and read and researched. I spent a long time reading about what to do with …show more content…
There it was in all her finished glory. I threw a leg over it, turned the ignition on, and pushed the starter. It cranked a couple of times, but nothing. I tried again, still nothing. I tried over and over until the battery needed to be recharged. I was so upset and so perplexed as to what to do next. I wasn’t sure whether the bike was pumped too much and it was flooded, or if it was something more internal. I got a great idea then to call our family friend Alex who’s very good with motorcycles what I should do. He told me to try starter fluid, charge the battery, and to check the petcock. Starter fluid didn’t work, the battery made no difference, but, I found that the petcock wasn’t flowing fuel properly. I disassembled it and tried again. When I put it back on the gas tank the petcock started leaking fuel. I was so angry and frustrated I just wanted to take a hammer to the bike. It was one thing after another. Once I took care of the leak I tried to start the bike again and nothing. So I called my friend up and he said he would be over in a couple of
Also, I do not know if the issue is with either not being able to turn on the board or something to do with a function of the board (touch/display/video/ sound/etc). Per manufacturer's website, we should do the classic turn it on/off and remove any devices that had been recently plugged into the board. If that doesn’t resolve the issue, we should check to make sure the UPC/surge protector is working by plugging in another known working device (cell phone charger) just to make sure it’s not a power

Owning exercise equipment is a good way to stay motivated and ensure you work out every day. While you may be tempted to buy the biggest and best exercise bike, you will need to consider your living space. If you don’t have enough room, the bike won’t fit properly, and you won’t be able to use it. There are compact bikes available that fit in smaller rooms, and allow you to get proper exercise. If you’re unsure about where to start looking for a compact exercise bike, this review should help get you started. After all, not having enough space is a terrible excuse for not exercising.
I love riding four wheelers. I also love to adventure so I guess you could say my character trait is being adventurous. I’ve been riding my whole life, you think I’m kidding but my mom even rode four wheelers when she was pregnant with me so yeah. I got my very first four wheeler when I was three and I rode it till I was nine, but then I wanted to ride with the big boys or girls or whatever. When I was ten I got Yamaha blaster two hundred. It was my first manual transmission four wheeler. It was also a fixer upper, so I restored it to original condition and learned valuable knowledge along the way. So now I know a lot about four wheelers. When I got done fixing it it was a lot better than before. So I figured I was ready to learn how ride a
When we look at the classic Car image, it reminds us of the experiences that surround our daily lives. The Classic Car image is in black and white which reminds us of the picture realities that held sway some decades ago. I do not readily understand all that transpired in the wreck of this car. However, some points are quite easy to note. It shows that the beauty of every vehicle is not just in its outward design but in its safety features. This shot was taken from one of the vehicles parked in the Alaska Car Museum. There are so many stories that surround the cars in this iconic location.

If the starter motor doesn’t turn at all when the ignition switch is operated, make sure the shift lever is in neutral or park. The automatic transmission T-Birds of this model year comes equipped with a neutral start switch in the starter control circuit. This prevents operation of the starter motor unless the vehicle is in neutral or park. If your ride is equipped with a manual transmission, make sure the clutch pedal is completely depressed when starting. Next make sure that the battery is charged and all the battery and starter relay wires are secure. Now if the starter motor spins but the engine doesn’t turn over, then the bendix or drive assembly is slipping and the starter motor needs to be replaced.
Bicycling was an exciting experience for two reasons. First, it has allowed me to travel around the city. Second, it gives me a chance to hang out with my friends. I love bicycling, I think it is fabulous! I can now observe my city, the people that lived there, the architecture, and the trees and animals, etc. Sometimes in our life, we just need to slow down our pace. We're so used to rushing through life that we don't even know what we have missed, but It's hard to blame ourselves because we're busy about our jobs especially when we were living in the city. I was once like that; I head right straight to school when it's time for school. As I walk I would only stare at my watch instead if looking to my left and/ or right.
To start off with some facts and information on a official 2stroke 125cc and 250cc race bike. The 2stroke dirt bike is a bike where the motor runs of a gas and oil mix where the gas and oil are mixed together in the gas tank. The dirt bike is also cooled by a radiator and coolant in the radiator. The coolant being antifreeze. The 2 stroke motor is a 2 cycle engine which means every 2 cycle of the engine there is 1 power stroke. The 2 stroke has a cylinder in which It has a two holes in the bottom of the cylinder when the piston comes down and the holes are opened the gases that were just burnt and exploded are pushed out of one hole by new air and new gases coming in through the other whole. Then the piston goes back up and closes the holes then compresses the air and the gas together then there is a spark from the sparkplug igniting the fuel and air mixer pushing the piston back down and restarting the cycle. Now this happened at and unbelievable rate. At 12,000 rpms the motor is spinning at 200 revolutions a second. So the motor is doing 200 of the cycles that I described to you above in 1 second. This ...
I've been four wheeling since I was about three. Id say its pretty fun when you're not busy crashing. My favorite thing about four wheeling is having the wind blow in my face, it makes me feel free in a way. When i'm with my family four wheeling nothing can stop us so you better watch out. My best experience while riding a four wheeler was when I was about nine my grandpa and my four year old sister were together on one four wheeler and I was on my own we were riding down the road when my grandpa said “ Aryona do you want to go down there?” i was a little scared at first, but he told me it would be okay, so i said “yes.” Once we got down there I was happy I decided to go because It was awesome! One of my favorite things about

Through much of my brothers perseverance, and a whole bunch of luck, the bike began to runfirst on one cylinder, then on both. I remember when Mike first got it running my dad and I looked on as he took the first ride around the yard; Im not sure if Mike knew it ahead of time or not, but the bike didnt have a functioning clutch. We soon discovered that rolling the motorcycle down a hill and then dropping it into gear wasnt too violent and was certainly good enough for the time being. Soon after, my dad and I were both allowed to ride; I think we both realized that if Mikes bike had been such a success on such little money (free, plus a few necessary parts) there were motorcycles in both of our futures.
