If there's a problem, can I fix it myself?<...

Hard start (no start) when wet

I left my bike outside and there was some serious rain this afternoon. I've tried to start, no luck. I left it for about 1-2 hours in the sun, it's ok now. <br>Is this normal or should I check something?<br><br>Thanks guys! <p></p><i></i>

Re: '88 FZR 1000 rear shock noise

"The rear shock is connected to a rising rate linkage. This should be disassembled, cleaned, inspected, refurbished and greased around every 20k"<br><br>This is the solution to your problem. I did it myself, not too difficult. <p></p><i></i>
