Why Should You Change Your Motorcycle's Gearing?
Generally speaking, the first thing people look for when modifying their motorcycle is more power. It’s been so ingrained in our psyche to change the exhaust, let the bike breathe easier, and adjust the machine’s fueling (whether mechanically with a carburetor or digitally via electronic fuel injection) to gain a couple ponies. Next probably comes suspension, because power is nothing without control.
What's the Range of an Electric Motorcycle?
Trying to figure out the range of an electric motorcycle is like competing in an eating contest: You think you know the limits, but you’re never quite sure until you’ve gone too far. Nonetheless, we at Motorcycle.com are fortunate enough to have ridden many of the electric motorcycle offerings out there, and at the very least, this gives us a starting point when discussing the range you can expect from an electric.
How Do I Carry Extra Fuel on My Motorcycle?
Riders who have cut their teeth in the urban jungle don’t understand the fear that can grip a traveling rider when the fuel light comes on while deep in the American Southwest. I’ve seen stretches of road with no fuel for over 100 miles, and on the Dalton Highway in Alaska, I undertook a section of road that I knew was too much for either my Harley-Davidson Electra Glide Ultra or the hardy Kawasaki Ninja 600 my companion was riding on the final gravel stretch to Prudhoe Bay. In most instances, a little common sense can go a long way towards making sure you aren’t stranded by simply filling your tank when it gets less than half-full while riding remote, unfamiliar roads.
