Hello all,
I recently purchased my first motorcycle, an 06 650r. When i purchased it the owner let me know that a few things would need to be done. He said the forks are leaking and provided me with new fork seals and fork fluid, also gave me oil for an oil change. He mentioned that the bike makes a backfiring noise when you let off the throttle, upon riding it myself its like a popping when you let off, is this something i should be concerned about, or could it just be the 2 brothers exhaust on it? Also he had a lowering link installed but i took it out so its riding stiff. I am wondering the average prices to have all these things done before i go to the shop and get shammed. All in all, im thinking i need an oil/ oil filter change, change fork seals/fluid, suspension adjustment, possible tuneup/dyno for "backfiring" (which may be off gas to air ratio). Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. Also, i will need a new rear tire soon and i will be doing a lot of city driving so reccomendations would be nice as well.
Thanks!!!!
