What are the laws for dirt bike riding? If any?
That is not too low for a beginner. Have you been riding at all? Do you know the basics? I am a beginner also; I took a basic course. (I don't know where you are, but these are usually offered through your community or technical colleges for a nominal fee.) and bough a Honda Rebel. You can get good deals on these bikes on E-Bay or in your local paper. You should get a bike that you feel comfortable with to start on and when you " master" that you can move up. If you get something too large or powerful to start with, you may scare yourself out of riding.Hi,any one out there know where i can get a replacement screen for a 98 model yamaha fazer 400.?
Also, please make sure you wear a helmet and proper gear. It is so very easy to be seriously injured or killed on a motorcycle. Other drivers just don't see you.

If you crank a motorcycle for only a couple of minutes and turn it off,will it foul the plugs?
Yeah, You Would Regret It Later On. Once You Actually Learn How To Ride It And Get Comfortable With It, (Which It Doesn't Take Long) You'll Want To Go Faster. Cuz A 250 Only Tops Out At Like 80 Or 85 Miles A Hour. So Yeah, Your Best Bet Is A 600, Which That's What I Have. And That's My Very First Bike Ever. So You'll Be Good With A 600.Engine cuts out on bmw motor cycle when wet?

Buy a big bike and ride it.They are all easy and the bigger they are the easier they ride.Buying a small bike and moving up is nonsence.Almost everyone who has gotten into motorcycling has learned on a smaller bike and moved onto bigger ones. You'll also probably want to take someone for a ride, too when you get better at riding. Small bikes are best to learn on, but you do outgrow them quickly. If you are going to ride a sportbike, buy something in the 500-600cc range. If you're going to ride a cruiser go a little bigger... 650-750cc range. I really feel the 250cc bike will be a waste of money.

Trouble shooting motorcycle side lights?
A ninja 250 can go 100mph at its top end. If you dont feel comfortable with a bigger bike buy the small one there is always someone else to sell it to once you learn, stay away from the chinese bikes as they are junk. Buy one of the big 4 brands of japanese bikes as they are the most reliable.Yeah what moolie wfo says. I'd recommend the Kawasaki 250 Ninja. I ride one 'cause it's fun, gets great mileage and I don't have to tear up my R1 or my Harley. A 250 Ninja will pull a grade at 90 with ease. Once they are "on the pipe" they barely notice a hill. And they will go in excess of 100MPH. I don't get bored at all even though I also ride a 185mph, 180hp 1000 R1 also.They'll beat a stock 883 sportster in handling, speed and economy. 70 MPG. The current 600's have better suspension but until you are really comfortable riding the EX250 is a more economic route. You can buy a lot of performance goodies for a 250 Ninja. You can find parts easy. And easy to maintain. The people on here that bad mouth them obviously don't own one. Nor do they appreciate the joy and fun that riding a small displacement bike can bring. A 600-1000 could cost you a couple thousand bucks cosmetics to repair if you lay it down and a whole EX250 is only 3. The more experience you get... the more you'll appreciate all bikes.
Here in PA they offer free motorcycle safety course and provide motorcycles for the course, They are 250's and most of them are Honda Shadows. These are good training cycles and are not very expensive. They start out teaching you the trip precheck through to avoiding hazzards on the road. We had 5 people in our class who have never driven a motorcycle, one of which never even been on a motorcycle before. Everybody passed the four day class and received their license. Try a smaller bike and work your way up until you become more experienced. However, if this will be your first bike buy used and pay cash, get the experience of riding before moving up to bigger and more expensive bikes. I have had friends who bought big bikes like Goldwings and rode only a few times then selling them at a loss because they weren't ready for a big bike. Nothing wrong with starting small and working up to bigger later on. In fact the smaller bike will normally sell quicker when you are ready to move up, then use the money for your next bike.
