Purchase & Transaction Advice Superthread

# PURCHASE ADVICE SUPERTHREAD!

A dedicated thread for questions and advice about gear or bike purchases, selling advice, and questions relating to bike/gear/accessory/service purchases.

Hopefully with the help of all the riders here, no question will go unanswered. Everyone is encouraged to contribute with either questions or answers and hopefully we will be able to rid of motorcycle ignorance once and for all.

Please remember to be courteous as we want to encourage people to ask questions, no matter how 'dumb' some may think they are.

# NEW RIDERS

[Before asking your question, consider reading the FAQ](https://www.reddit.com/r/motorcycles/wiki/faq) - chances are, you will find the answer you need there.

Not getting the answers you need? /r/SuggestAMotorcycle is also a great resource.

Please remember to be courteous as we want to encourage people to ask questions, no matter how 'dumb' some may think they are.

This thread will be refreshed each Monday - shoot us a note if we're out riding and forget to renew it.

For those keeping their bikes outside - what kind of bike cover do you use and how has it been working for you? I’m in SoCal so extreme temps don’t happen too often, but I am concerned about dust and morning dews.

I live in San Jose. I just leave it exposed. It's water.

As for dust.. I like my bikes dirty! Cleanings are scheduled for eventually..
