    Do I need to re jet my carbs now that there's a sports exhaust on my bike?

    Possibly. But most bikes used to be tuned from the factory to run a bit rich, so the jets might be OK. It may just need tuning. The real problem may be that the viper exhaust is not optimal for the bike. The GPZ was never a highly tuned bike. The engine was mildly tuned for reliability and...

    How do become more tolerant to pain? or even like pain?(not emo lol)?

    Pain is a tool our brain uses to get us to stop doing things that damage us. It's a matter of attitude. Just accept the damage. You will still feel the sensations from your dying tissue, but by not allowing yourself to stop damaging your body you will learn to not interpret it the same way.

    bmw f650cs, looked at buying one locally, bike was worn, odometer read...

    Easy enough, but replacement is more likely. Also, don't forget that the f650cs is likely to be ridden hard. My advice would be to no get hung up on miles - it's only an indicator of condition. You already have an opinion of that. Pass on it.

    Are you considered Jewish if your parents were but raised you without religion?

    Judaism is inherited from your mother. But it sounds like your mother wasn't 'officially' Jewish - she would be only if her mother was Jewish. So you would have to join the religion - I don't know that I'd call it convert. But the best course of action would be to find a synagogue to join and...
