Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

For me, we were in a parking lot. I basically had to start in 3rd to feel the same power. And the 300 is like riding a mini bike

 

i got the fz07 up to 116 once and started getting death wobbles hahaha

 

hahaha

 

Free.99 and I'll take it off your hands

My drz can go that fast, lol

 

...I cannot like this post....

 

I think ive had the 09 up to 120. I dont go that fast any more

 

i've already had the new bike up to 120 and i've ridden it once haha. when i had the cbr1000rr forget about it, i couldn't keep it under 100. not even meaning to speed either

 

haha, well long as the bike sounds likes its going fast does it really matter

 

Weird how some racers are on the way different spectrum. I've met some who say going they can't go "slow", where as others don't mind it. Myself included in the latter category, it's fun going fast but I didnt have an issue keeping it under 100 when I had my cbr

 

i'm not usually one to speed, but on a 1000 you feel like you're going in slow motion if you're going under 90. when i have a 600 i can keep it under 100 no problem.

 

Fair enough, I don't have the experience on a 1k to know

 

I think the transition is the hard part. A slower bike you can rip around and have fun going through the gears but on a faster bike you can't really do that without going too fast and its hard to notice until you look down at the dash

 

I'd like to be able to go faster just to do it once. But I very rarely get above 90 on a normal day.

 

My VTX is only a 1300, and it does just fine at 80 with a little power left to pass, but I guess at my weight, it would top out close to 95-100. I like to have something where I KNOW FOR SURE there's a lot more power available, even though I'll probably never need it.

....but that one time when there is no one else on the road....

 

how often are y'all changing your air filters? I've put about 5k miles on my bike since I got it. Changed the oil twice now (once when I first got it and again 3kish miles later). Only using OEM oil/air filters. I'm at around 7500 now, should I just swap it when I get to 10k?

 

I've yet to change one but it calls for every other oil change on the FZ

 

For the VTX: oil change every 8,000 and air filter every 12,000.

I have a K&N in mine, so I usually clean it every other oil change

 

Hmm, I haven't changed the air filter on my FZ yet and it has just over 7,000 miles on it. Should probably look into that....

 

8k iirc

 

Nice. I guess that would be nearly every other oil change. My last oil change was at 5,000 miles. Could just go look at the manual, but that's all the way in the garage...
