Didn’t really do anything to the bike, but I picked up a service manual and a supplement from fleabay. Want to learn how to remove and clean the carb and don’t want to rely just the binja250 faq wiki.

Pride at workplace is overrated. It doesn't help pay rent nor buy groceries.

I'm fine with people having no pride as long as they get the job done and treat colleagues politely. To many workers,...

And why would you expect a trained monkey to have pride? Would you not be asking for too much for what you are willing to pay?

It almost seem like a KLX250 with some luggage racks would fit the...

I have no problem with a system like that. Growing up in a city where driver's tests are a lot more serious than the ones in the US, I used to think the states' tests are a joke. I changed my mind...

Made myself to stop double clutching and just blip before I move the stick. It’s so much faster lol (duh.) I found myself downshifting a lot more often than when I was double clutching since it’s...

From driving a stick shift, I know I’m...
