I Need some help with my Bike

[AHAMAYs2]

I'm fine with driving and can cage it if i have to, i'm not sure if the 150 will fit, the back tire that's on it now is an AVON 130/70-18

The front tire wich i just replaced is a 110/80-R17 AVON AZARO

[Target30]

wow, a 130? let me do some searching around and see if it will fit. i know that the smallest it will be is a 140, but i thought it was a 150, i'll get back to ya.

[markbvt]

I'd stick with an Avon on the rear, since that's what you put on the front. But the Azaro's been discontinued, and its replacement, the Storm, doesn't come in narrow-enough widths. I'd put an AM26 RoadRider on the back, which does come in 130/70-18 and is reasonably priced. I run RoadRiders on my Triumph and have been extremely happy with them.

i think i have a bridgestone BT56 150/60/18 at home, descent tread left. I will have to look when i get home tonight if it is what you need and you are interested in it. you are pretty far away from me though, not sure how you would get it before this weekend, unless you want to drive!

150 would be a tough fit, that'll fit on a 4.5" rim, a full inch narrower might be JUST a touch pinchy

Here, allow me to help fix your bike...



Ooops! All done, now you get to buy a new one!

[Target30]

yeah, it fits fine on the 90+ fzr rim, but is tight on the 89(which is a 3.5"), i was a half inch off of what i thought the rim was, 140 would be fine, but i;m pretty sure it is a 150. i'll check anyhow, cant hurt.

Bummer, must be back fire from your fellow ginger twins bike....

[Baggey22]

Hey, my bike doesn't backfire anymore.

[SVenpointsixtwo]

I think it'd more likely explode from catastrophic suspension failure from having a 250lb monkey constantly bounce on it...

[AHAMAYs2]

Thanks for the help guys...... and i'm 245lbs thank you very much!

[AHAMAYs2]

Hey guys, what liquid is leaking out when the header cap is leeking? how safe is my bike to bike if the header cap is leeking?

[Doc]

Header Cap?

[Dichotomous]

what part do you mean by header cap, and what does the liquid smell/look/taste/feel like?

Header cap?????

If you mean the head gasket, oil (hopefully). This should be transluscent brownish yellow if it is fresh, blackish if not. If it is grey or foamy then you may have blown a headgasket because that is what it looks like mixed with radiator fluid. Smells like oil.....

Radiator cap: Radiator fluid, alkylene glycol, glycerol, whatever you wanna call it. Usually green or orange. Smells sweet. DON'T TASTE IT. 1 Teaspoonfull is enough to shut down your kidneys and kill you slowly.

Brake fluid reservoir - brake fluid... duh... should be clear or yellowish. Very viscous (means it pours slow and resists movement more then oil or water). Smells like alcohol. Don't get it on your paint.

dont drink the brake fluid either.
I must peg forgiveness, I didnt think anyone would actually taste the fluids, kind of a tongue-in-cheek there

[Doc]

Glycol is sweet. Brake Fluid is bitter.

And gasoline is tingly.... And not in a good way.

but it stops bleeding pretty well in a pinch

[AHAMAYs2]

i think based on the description that it must be oil. i forget where i got the term headder cap from but i dunno. Thanks for the help though guys!

[Doc]

So I take it this is your Valve cover? Or your Head Gasket?

[markbvt]

Describe exactly where this mysterious fluid seems to be leaking from. That'll make it much easier to narrow this down.

[Baggey22]

[Stegosaurous]

[AHAMAYs2]
