What gear were you in? I would try bump starting in at least 4th gear to ensure you can still roll forward. Another thought though - is the kickstand kill switch being activated? That could cause you to get nothing when pressing the starter button.

Are you certain the Battery is in good shape? Can you bump start it?

Nice! I have a collection of over 200 Board Games and also read the same Genres.

I feel like the tire just failed and exploded from the inside and because of this being the second Shinko Raven to fail early I have changed over to to Michelin tires. I did not hit anything that I saw or felt - does not mean I did not hit something..... I just did not see or feel anything until...

well, the FZ1 is technically a "Sport Standard" when referring to the half fairing Gen 1 and Gen 2 bikes. Sport Bike motor in a more touring seating arrangement.

Dork's don't ride Sport Bikes... lol. We are NERDS.... very different.

I can do you one better - I run my GoPro when commuting and caught the entire thing on film:

This place was jamming when I joined back in like 2010 or 2011....

welcome both of you!

Funny I have been on this site for a long time and this is the first time I have see this thread. 1987 Suzuki LT250 Quadracer was my first "bike" I was 14 I think... around 1993 or 1994. 1988 Suzuki RM250 - 1995 1989 Yamaha YZ250 - 1996 Sold my dirt bikes when my wife and I moved in 1999- got...

I take the time to film my own personal hall of shame moments

Welcome!!! do you still ride MTB? I have been big into MTB since 2000 and also rode dirt bikes as a teen before I started pedaling.

Welcome Deek!

Not sure I have ever noticed. I rode my Vstar to work today but will try and remember to check my FZ1 when I get home.

Yep, and losing the rear at 75-80mph on that last one was enough for me to say no to them. When I was young I went with cheap tires on everything I owned to save money... not anymore. When the Suburban we bought back in 2018 needed new tires I got Michelin on all 4 corners.

So I have decided to move away from the Shinko's - the last few rears I have had including this one above have been a problem. The last 3 gave me the following mileage: 11,345 5,839 7,152 7152 being the mileage when the one above blew out in August 2022. I put a Michelin Road 4 on the rear...
