Whether you are beginner in motorcycling or new in exhausting a new terrain with your favorite toy, you should find some information about what type of tires suits best to your motorcycle in order to take the maximum performance.

Here are some suggestions for off-road rides:

• Fan of rocky terrains, extreme rides? You should definitively find suitable tires with massive blocks.

• Love to play in mud and soft terrains? Tire with scoop-like blocks is just for you.
• Are you sandman? No problem, here is solution just for you: Knob shape tire specifically designed for traction in deep sand while keeping sand from packing in between the knobs.

• All-terrain cross guy?  Tire with high equally organized blocks is just for you. The tread design provides better self-cleaning.

• Are you a rider who is equally at home on tarmac and off-road? Then you found the tire for you: All-round compound for a wide spectrum of weather and street conditions.

I’m sure that all of you when you were children had a dream of owning one Suzuki ATV and rocking with it in front of your neighbors! The child in you grew up and maybe the big childhood wishes had changed, but definitely you still wish of owning Suzuki ATV! Combine the childhood wishes with the adult’s practicality.

You will probably ask your mature mind: “Why should I buy Suzuki ATV?” Here are some of the answers that I propose:

1. four wheeler gives you more stability because of the two wheels out front.

During the years your risky attitude from your teenage days transformed in to starving for stability now, when you are grown up person. If you never needed stability as today, go out buy your first ATV right away!

2. four wheeler easy catch corners or ride over packed snow, mud or ice.

Having trouble with your current transportation vehicle during heavy snow and other extreme weather conditions? The 4^th wheeler is your transportation substitute!

3. four wheeler physically is easier to ride than a motorcycle or 3wheeler.

No need to know riding a bicycle or a motorcycle if you want to try this 4^th wheeler.

4. The four wheel soaks up the bumps for superior comfort.

You had a though day. In the same time you would like to relax and to level up your adrenaline. The answer is Suzuki ATV. 

5. It also lets you carry a lot more gear, because you have the benefit of an optional Suzuki apparel and accessories.
6. And the most important, this baby is the ultimate fun machine!

Perhaps Suzuki ATV is the right choice for you as a grown up person? Don’t you think?

If you are fan of Kawasaki Street bikes or you would like to purchase new one, here are thoughts on some enhanced comfort and safety elements of our new gorgeous Concours 14 Kawasaki Street bike:

• Reflectors are reshaped and they are 40mm higher than the previous Concour 14 model   hence provides better back view.

• Windshield is 70mm taller and wider therefore provides better wind protection than the previous version.  Also has new operating system as well, still electronic, but it has new memory feature that remembers the last position of your windscreen last time you’ve turned off.

• The glove box is moved to the left hand side unlike in the previous model when it was on the top of the tank

• Grip warm up feature - the rider can choose between different levels of warming the grip in colder weather riding

• KTRC button – Kawasaki traction control button that works with wheel rotation sensors used to detect differences in front and rear wheel speed (ABS version only)

• New exceptionally safe braking system where the last year new voyager technology is incorporated

• New safety system – Your new Kawasaki Street Bike will be safe if you leave the key on the motorcycle and take only the transponder with you

Now you have read about Concours 14 enhancements and if you are financially equipped you can buy one for around $14.500. For those with old Concours, you can always replace old motorcycle parts with new ones.

Most of the motorcycle lovers feel reluctant to wearing helmets. However, the Law in most countries requires motorcyclists to wear helmets, whether they like it or not.

The history of wearing a helmet in USA began in 1967 when the federal government decided to award states for highway construction funds if they enact motorcycle helmet use laws. This strategy resulted in universal helmet use laws in forty states that went into effect by the end of 1969. Through the years some of the States weakened their helmet use laws to apply only to young riders, usually those younger than 18. In states that weakened their universal helmet laws, helmet use declined sharply, and motorcyclist deaths and injuries rose. Besides this fact, the trend for weakening the law for wearing helmet is unstoppable. Why is this so, we can only guess and speculate as much as we want to, but no one will answer it. At the bottom line, now 20 states have helmet laws covering all riders, and 27 states have laws covering some riders, usually people younger than 18 while Illinois, Iowa, and New Hampshire do not have helmet laws.

Some of the motorcyclist doesn’t need helmet wearing law to use their favorite motorcycle accessory. Interesting fact that shows that there are many conscious motorcyclists - helmet   use approached 50 percent when there was no helmet law or a law applying only to some riders, compared with 100 percent when all motorcyclists were required to wear helmets.

Some facts why to wear helmet:

• Helmets are the principal countermeasure for reducing crash-related head injuries, the leading cause of death among unhelmeted riders.
• Helmets don’t obstruct vision! Only full-coverage helmets provide minor restrictions in horizontal peripheral vision.
• Helmets don’t restrict motorcyclists to hear horn signals - There is no difference in hearing thresholds under three helmet conditions: no helmet, partial coverage, and full coverage.
• Helmets reduce head injuries without an increased occurrence of spinal injuries in motorcycle trauma.

Not persuasive enough to those 50% not wearing helmets?   If not so persuasive, you can always look at your helmet as a fashion accessory to your long-build motorcycle style.

The bike could become jumpy and difficult to hold, if you gass the bike on 5 gear on a straight. What settings can you change on the bike?

It’s recommended that you make sure that all the suspension components are performing as they should. It is highly likely, given the age of the bike, that the suspension-shocks rear, suspension-front fork, suspension-rear swingarm pivot or linkage bearings need attention. In particular, the shocks rear bladder, shocks rubber-stopper and nitrogen pressure will all be suspect unless the shocks rear has been upgraded. The same is true of the front fork. It could need bush ($5.00-12.42) , a cartridge rod seal ($4.15-18.45) or other parts, and this is assuming that the front fork and shocks rear oil has been kept fresh. If not, before you worry about settings, you need to have the front fork and shocks rear serviced, and at minimum clean and grease all the pivots.

Then you can start to worry about settings. Once the bike is up to spec and you are sure the suspension is functioning properly, this is the range of suspension settings our riders liked when the bike was new:

-Fork compression: between 13 and 18 clicks out (turn the adjuster in all the way, but don't force it, then turn the adjuster out to the setting) 
-Fork rebound: 15 
-Shock low-speed compression: 3 to 6 clicks out 
-Shock Hi-speed compression: 1 & 5/8ths turns out to 2 turns out 
-Shock rebound: 7 to 9 clicks out.

A setting within these ranges are working. Start with the softest settings (the highest numbers) and work in.
