  |  I have a few questions!
Okay, I've been thinking about a few questions I've been meaning to ask lately, so I figure I'll just put them all in one thread. Question 1: How safe is it to park a bike on a steep driveway? Of course, I wouldn't park it downhill, but what about across the slope, where the kickstand side is downhill? Question 2: About how long can I expect my new bike to last as far as miles? I live nearly 20 miles from work (90% highway), so I put a few miles on my vehicles. I don't want my engine blowing up anytime soon! I have also noticed that I never see high mileage bikes. I rarely see anything over 20k miles. Do they break down before? Or do they go down (as in get crashed)? Question 3: How long do tires generally last? The rear is new, but the front is worn down pretty good. The previous owner said it should last until I need to replace the rear, but it's pretty worn already. Question 4: Where are some good websites for buying parts/accessories? Question 5: Is it true that the Gixxer's have automatic reserves? If so, doesn't it kind of defeat the purpose of a reserve? Why not just make a bigger tank instead of a primary/reserve tank? Okay, I think that's it for now. I'll add more later if I think of any. Thanks! -Chris |
