You dont give many details. Look under your seat for your battery. You may have to remove the seat. Typically, motorcycles come with a 'tool kit' that has the tools required to remove the seat to get to the battery.
Get on the web and start researching anything you wonder about.
"how to adjust bicycle seat" for example.
If your seatpost is so low it touches the other parts of the bike maybe it's too low or your bike is too big for you. You're not supposed to be able to touch the ground with your feet while seated.
A reputable Bicycle Shop would have fit the bike to you before you took it home.
Seek out local bike shops and clubs if you think you'll get serious about riding. Many members readily adopt novices for mentoring.
Very common problem. The white plastic gear in the tilt mechanism gets old and brittle and breaks.
BMW will want to sell you a whole gear box with motor. Aside from the outrageous cost, removing that gearbox is a pain.
Odometergears.com will sell you just the plastic gear for $40, and their website has wonderful instructions that show you how to replace it quickly and easily.
You will have to remove the seat from the car. Put some old socks over the tips of the seat rails that unbolt from the floor because the seat is rather heavy and awkward to handle, and the tips of those seat rails are very sharp and will cut up the interior and exterior of your car if they touch anything as you wrestle with the seat DAMHIK.
The other tip is to be careful not to over-tighten the screws that hold the cover on the gear box, They are not very strong and will twist in two easily. Again.. Don't ask...
Unrelated, but if the leather on your driver seat is shot, you can use the leather from a junk yard passenger seat to freshen up your driver seat. The seat bottom is replaced foam and all. Don't bother trying to save the plastic snaps, just pry the seat bottom up and put in new snaps. The leather on the seat back has to be removed from the seat and transferred, but it is not difficult.
never exceed safety line on seat post. flip the seat post bracket pointing forward then insert post ...tighten both seat clamp bolts evenly exposing close to equal exposed threads on both sides these seat bolts will snap if over torqued. now make sure the seat post clamp is not riding above the top of the split..you never get it properly tight. again dont over torque these bolts you might crush the tube. Now see if it secure and doesnt have any play. to get proper height have the person set on the seat and have pedal at the full bottom position their knee show not be fully extended you should have the knees slight bent.
hihihi, ur funny...dont wanna trade in ur wife or bike... Anyways a solution could be that you take the rear seat to an upholstery, let them rifit the seat with wider padding(biker seat foam) and over the foam comes a new layer of leather.
hope this helps, greetings Gilbert.
and yesterday was the first time i ever went on a bike. After a couple of hours of riding it around my neighborhood my clutch cable snapped. Im guessing the cable itself is not very expensive but i was wondering if anyone could give me some tips on how to replace it. ALso i can't figure out how to take off the seat. haha thanksSugestion 1: Get a service manual and owners manual, they would answer your questions.
Now, to get the seat off, check in the trunk. The little door on the rear of the bike, I believer the xjs have wingnuts in there that hold the seat down.
In terms of the clutch cable, you may need to remove the clutch lever to get the cable off that side, on the other side you probably need to remove the clutch cover on the engine (near where the chain goes into the engine) and remove the cable from there.,,,
