Purchasing a used motorcycle can be very rewarding but it can also be a daunting task. This used motorcycle buyer's guide highlights 10 things to look for when purchasing a used motorcycle.
1. Has It Been Crashed?
One of the most important things to check first-and probably the most obvious-is to check if the motorcycle has been down or in an accident. Any sign of road rash or deep scratches on the fairings is a pretty good sign that the bike has been down. Be sure to ask for details.
Make sure that the brake and clutch levers are not bent as crashes can damage them. More severe crashes can also cause the forks to twist which affects handling. If you are able to test ride the bike, then make sure that the motorcycle is riding straight and is not swaying.
2. Brakes
Brakes are extremely vital to your safety as they help bring your bike to a stop. To test the front brakes, put the bike in neutral and roll it forward while gently engaging the brake lever. The brakes should engage smoothly. If you pull the lever and there is no resistance, then more then likely the calipers need work or the brake system needs new fluid. Do the same also for the rear brakes and make sure the brakes are engaging.
Check that there is at least 1/8" of brake pad material remaining. Warped rotors will cause the front end of the bike to vibrate. Brake fluid should be a light amber and needs replacing if it is a darker color. This is a good indication that the motorcycle has not had proper maintenance.
3. Tires
Tires are a pretty indication of how the motorcycle was ridden. Squaring of the rear tire usually means that the bike has mostly been on straight roads such as a highway. If the edges are roughed up, then it's a possibility that the bike has been through a canyon.
4. Battery/Electrical
When buying a used motorcycle, you need to keep in mind that often times motorcycles are sitting out in a warehouse so the battery may not be fully charged. If you can, make sure that the battery is holding its charge and that the voltage is around 12-14v. Also, make sure that the kill switch is working by starting the engine and switching the kill switch to its off position.
5. Chain & Sprockets
Check the chain and sprocket for any rusting. Chains are supposed to be lubed about every 200-300 miles or about every two tank refills. Check the slack of the chain by pulling on it. It should be no more then two inches both ways. Having a chain snap on you on the road can be extremely dangerous.
6. Engine Fluids
Make sure to ask the owner when the oil was last changed. Oil should be changed every 3,000-4,000 miles. If the oil is black, then it's time for a new oil change. If the oil is a dark honey color, then the oil was changed recently.
Check that the coolant levels are between the low and high and that the color is a neon green. If it is a murky green-brown, then the coolant needs to be changed.
7. Suspension
Ask the owner when the last time the fork seals have been changed and when the suspension oils have been replaced. Generally, they should be replaced every year or two. To test the front forks, hold the brakes and push down hard on the bars. The bike should spring back up but with little resistance. You will need to replace the rear shock if there is no resistance.
8. Clutch/Gears
Check the clutch by holding it down and putting the bike in first gear. It should feel smooth as you push the bike forward. Test the friction zone by slowly releasing the clutch. Clutch engagement should be fairly smooth.
9. Know what the bike is worth!
Make sure you know what your bike is worth before committing to a price. The last thing you want is overpaying for a used motorcycle.
10. Kickstand, horn, turn signals, headlights, etc.
Last but not least, check the small things on the motorcycle. Make sure the kickstand is pretty sturdy and is not shaky. Check that the horn, turn signals, and the headlights are also in working condition.
Read the fine print before signing anything! That low introductory interest rate might seem welcoming at first, but can be extremely frustrating to learn that the interest rate is only for a couple of months.
If everything is satisfactory and you are ready to make the purchase, check that the VIN on the motorcycle matches on the title and that there are no liens. Have a mechanic take a look at the used motorcycle after the purchase to double check that everything is in working order.
Happy riding!

Applications Of Gears
The infiltration of gears in this world is just unimaginable. Gears are components which transmits rotational force to another device. There a various types of gears each having a specific use. Gears find a major use in almost all kinds of industries. Agro industries use different varieties of gears like spur gears, helical gears, racks, pinion gears, worm gears, sprockets for specific purposes. Oxen and horses have been replaced by modern geared tractors.
Gears play a major role in automotive industry. They are used in cars, bikes, buses, trucks and even geared cycles. Ring and pinion, spiral, hypoid, hydraulic gears are some of the gears which are used in automotive industry which are used to control the speed.
Wind turbines also uses gears to increase the speed of the shaft as there wouldn't be enough force to turn the shaft with more number of revolutions per minute that can drive the generator.
Instrumentation gears are used in creating medical automation and other light duty instruments. They are produced with high accuracy gear cutting equipment. Gears are used in mill heads which are used to produce pulp from a coarse substance. Mining industry uses gears like helical, spiral and bevel gears to extract the ores from the earth's surface.
They are used to increase torque that is applied on the tool used for mining. Marine industry uses gears in yachts, boats, fishing boats and various other marine applications. Apart from these gears also find their use in power stations and conveyor systems which are used to transport materials from place to place. They find a major use in high end systems like aircraft designing, aerospace engineering, production of rockets and satellites, etc. Thus it can be seen that the invention gear has made a spark in our lives.

rear hub of my bike sprocket/gear removal?
how do i take the gear/sprocket thing off my rear hub on my bike? i cant put the spokes on w/o taking it off?
There are a large number of different methods of attaching sprockets to hubs. Go to the Parks site below to identify your type.
Because most need a special tool, you're better to get a local bike mechanic to remove it, and re-tighten it later.Shouldn't cost much and they often do it for folk. Note, if you have the old style threaded hub you can try it yourself, either by making a chain-lever or by putting the sprockets in a vice and turning the wheel. the thread is always normal right hand and usually very tight! So, undo it anticlockwise ( turn wheel clockwise if the sprocket's upside-down in a vise) and use a lot of leverage!
Tested: Yamaha FZ-1N
Buff but certainly not raw, the FZ1N is a versatile all rounder.
