I'm looking at getting a motorcycle. I've looked at the common bikes for beginners such as the Yamaha V Star 250 and the Honda Rebel 250. Though I've read that if you are tall, those bikes aren t a good choice. I'm looking for something relatively cheap and preferably around 250cc (I understand I may have to higher the cc amount since I'm tall). Please give me some suggestions!
I have a 2003 honda xr 100r and want to make it road legal mostly to ride around and get to trails and also as a fun cheap bike to ride around with friends. I understand it's small and I wouldent be rideing it on the highway or anything. I know I need a horn, high low beams, tailight and dot tires, but is it legal to d though it's only 100cc? Don't say I should just get another bike beacuse i'm stuck with this one and can't afford to buy another
I have an 86 Honda Rebel 450. Bike runs great however the choke switch does not engage at all. I can start the bike ifif I manually pull the choke up on the carbs, but the choke switch does nothing at all. Any idea what to do?
Recently, I bought a 900rr from craiglist. I bought it knowing it had a blown overhead gasket (because the seller reached out to his mechanic last minute) and because of this new problem, I haggled down the price.
After buying the bike I took it to my mechanic for a full inspection on the engine just to be sure about the problem.
Later, the mechanic reveals a whopping 2500k service quote charge. 300 for the gasket system replacement (as I expected), 600 for a new radiator (coolant and water slightly mixed together) and they want to replace the engine.
Honestly, the engine runs great, I've gone 100 with the bike just to see how it fairs with the blown gasket and there's no compression loss.
My question is, I know a blown gasket can be caused by another problem. I don't want to get a new one only for it to be blown again.
Should I just get a new gasket system, or should I replace the radiator as well.
I'm no gearhead, but my thoughts are, if I fix the gasket, I can then just flush the radiator clean and put new antifreeze in it?
Should I just go ahead with the solo overhead gasket fix and not worry about the rest?
Added (1). Update: Forgot to mention the bike runs about anywhere from 200 to 280 degrees Fahrenheit after about 20 minutes of riding! So a blown head gasket seems very likely

Added (1). I'm going to remove the mirrors on my bike, but i can't seem to find a cover to mount on after (so there's not 2 holes left). I have searched the internet in different languages, but i don't know what it's called. Can someone post a link or at least the name of these.

I don't own a motorcycle yet but plan to in the next few months.
While doing research I had a hard time looking for OEM performance parts for them. Like Honda, Kawasaki, Yamaha, etc.
I was able to find performance parts (exhaust, chasis, brakes) on the ducati website, but can't find any on other websites.
I have a 2005 Honda CBR125 and it's not starting, it ran perfectly when I bought it and its been sitting for 2 months (no licence). Now it won't start after I put in fresh petrol, new plug, charged the battery and changed the oil.
