I learned how to ride a street bike last summer and fell in love with them. I Just bought my first bike 01 CBR929 after never even being on a dirtbike. so far i am loving riding around on the bike but im starting to feel like an idiot because i dont have the common knowledge that someone who owns a streetbike should have. for example how often for oil changes and any other basic maintenance? is it the same as a car or what? Please help

 

yeah oil every 3, you can be **** and do it b4 then, when i first got my r6 i did it every 1000 but i went through too much oil so im going to start doing it every 2300 or soo

 

When I got my F-3 I did it every thousand also but that kills you on oil so now I'm about every 2000 now. Just don't go over 3. So have you scared the sh*t out of yourself on that bike yet? lol

 

I havent gotten enough ***** to to get the bike up to top speed yet but im building up to it. I got the bike up to 115 when i backed off. Other than that i havent had any close calls to scare me yet.

 

Haha, be careful when you hit the triple digits, almost going too fast to notice the cop on the side of the road

 

Yeah EVERYTHING'S more "meaningful" at triple digits - I took a huge bug in the face shield at 105 - 'bout took my head off. ( maybe it was a bird.......)

 

Yea tell me about it your lucky if take it in the face shield!! I got one right on my neck just above my jacket and below my helmet. I felt like some one shot me in the neck with a paintball gun. Had a great welt for about 2 weeks!!

 

yea, bugs really suck but what pisses me off even more is when you are behind a car and the decide to wash their windshield. Those bastards soak me every freekin time!

 

See weeble, that's why you carry a pipe with ya.. just like in rat race.. out of nowhere a gang of 929ers will roll up with chains and pipes and destroy the car . wishful thinking.. but it would be cool.. The outlaws...

 

haha, I like the way you think!
