Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Thanks I'll definitely make sure I keep an eye on them. I read that some people use RC8 throttles on their dukes for a more progressive and responses setup. Any comments or info about that?

 

No idea about the RC8 mods for it.

 

Signed the paperwork on a 2016 KTM 690 Enduro R last night! Cant wait until lunch time to pick this sucker up!

Anyone have any seat time on one? Im switching over from a YZ450F

 

I had a 2012 690 Enduro for 2 year and 20,000 miles. I created the 690 Wiki back in the day and turned it over to someone else when I sold the bike.

The seatconcepts seat is a lifesaver. I'd recommend at least the lower Rally Raid tank bolt upgrade. The rear shock spring is really soft stock and jumping the bike is not recommended on the stock rear spring imo; the front forks are really harsh stock. While not required getting the suspension resprung (easy to do yourself, I wrote a guide) helps a ton and getting the forks revalved does wonders. The shock valving is good stock.

I have extensive experience with them, ask me anything almost.

 

Motorcycle super store has a limited time offer of free shipping with orders of $30 or more.

 

Thanks for the great info. I just took my first ride and Im in love! If only I didn't have to go back to work tonight haha

 

Just paid off the fz07. Good feeling

 

Im paying off the fz09 in a few days

 

Heh...
You know what I thought when I paid off my Suzuki?

"Great! Now I can sell it if I find another one I like!"

 

I want

Nice! I need to start paying down my drz before it blows up again, haha

 

Haha I've only had this one a couple months. I'm bad but not that bad. Trying to buy a z4m though

 

Pretty much exactly what I'm doing haha

 

I love my drz now. Wheelies are so fun with the extra power.

 

But there is still that underlying uncertainty.

 

This weather is annoying me. Going to be awesome for the next few days, then as soon as I go on my weekend it's supposed to storm the whole time...

 

Nope. It's been doing great so far. I'm over worrying and just going to continue beating on it.

This weekend? It's sunny in KC, we are doing a ride sunday

 

I rode to work tonight. But I hate night shift.. 8pm-8am
I sent in my final payment on the FZ. Just waiting now for the payment to clear. Then buying some case covers as a gift for myself. And maybe a detail day with @CanisLupus ?

 

Yeah. That's why I said it's going to be awesome weather for the next few days. Then when I go on my weekend on Monday it's supposed to start raining for the next 4 days...

I'm on mids right now.

 

I am going to thoroughly wear my chain and sprockets out this weekend. Then i'll order them next week and put on the brake lines, pads, check the valves, and put in the new spark plug.
