How much should I be asking for my 2003 kx250?

Bike is completely bone stock (aside from the air filter) and has around 20 original hours. I’m the second owner and the bike is essentially flawless and even comes with original paperwork. I have seen similar listings for upwards of $6k but am having a hard time selling at $4500 on marketplace.. is there a market for these things? Anyone have any advice on selling?

New Rider 3 Months In

As the title suggests, I recently picked up a 2024 Z650RS to begin my journey. This was one of the best decisions I’ve made in a long time, what an absolute blast.

The 650 platform has been great to learn on IMO. After a few cosmetic changes, I’m really liking how the bike looks. Here’s to many more miles!

2013 Ninja 300/EX300

2013 Ninja 300 Used 6k miles. Said oil was changed recently i highly doubt it cause he said coolant was done also and it was not. I just changed the oil today and just like normal old oil, little black but i smelled it and it smells like gas. when i start my bike in the garage with the garage halfway open, i still smell gas but no smoke out of exhaust, no running rich, quick startup. Not sure what’s wrong. Hopefully everything will be ok. Help. please not sure if yall get the same

Edit: i’m catless

Green Akrapovic sticker

Hi guys, I’m new here. I have a 2024 ZX-6R and I recently installed a full Akrapovič exhaust.

I’m looking for an Akrapovič sticker with a green logo. I already bought one on eBay from a UK shop that specializes in stickers and put it on my exhaust, but I noticed a grey outline that I don’t like. It looks like some kind of plastic material, and the problem is that this grey part expands with the heat from the exhaust.

I marked the one I’m looking for with a “V” and the one I currently have with an “X”.

I’m looking for one without this kind of outline, with a finish similar to the original.

Starter - update.

As per everyone's suggestions, checked voltages and changed plugs. Ended up taking the starter out, which was actually quite easy. it wouldn't crank with a charged battery, so stripped it and I think I found the reason for the weak/failure to start. See pics, but the magnets were cracked and worn and the housing was full of black dust. The brushes (to my untrained eye) don't seem too bad, but the coil looks in bad shape. I've ordered a new starter. just out of interest, is this just age, or is there something more sinister in play that caused this? Do I need to look at anything else.

Thank you all for your support.

74 G3SS 90 my newest project

Just picked up this beauty today for a steal, was digging around and saw it had a title old reg and insurance card all signed by previous owner, I got her running rough but still have some work like finding a way to keep the kickstart on, fixing the electrical since someone trail bike converted it so all the lights are disconnected, and I gotta piece together a full canrb that has a working choke and such from. The spares it came with, but it’s only got 3000 miles so it should be a fun project for a while

What is that clicking noise

Sometimes when I do a quick hard acceleration I hear a small clicking noise in my rear mostly on the right side. Sometimes it doesn’t click. Sometimes it does. Sometimes I hear it when I go over a bump or pothole. I looked up a bunch of of stuff and got suggestions on checking to see if it’s a bearing or maybe a lose chain or improperly maintained sprocket and chain. But I keep up with the maintenance on those religiously. And I did the test of swaying my rear tire back and forth to see if it’s a bearing. No sway. Only thing I could think is maybe the rear break? It used to make a squeaking noise. That stopped. I adjusted my chain and cleaned it. Then a week or two later this noise started. Should I ignore it? The bike still moves and runs to what feels almost perfectly(the engine is healthy I was sorta lugging it intentionally to get the clicking noise. Its not a super common noise I hear but I wanted to make the vid)
