Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

I actually don’t know, I’ll have to look that up. If it is 7500 then your motor will be screaming at those RPMs. I know at like 5k it’s already telling me it’s working overtime.

 

Went and looked at the bikes for @Zeke588. The Harley was in really good condition. The sv650 was crap. Dented tank with half of a slider ground down.

 

I got new riding shoes. Black/black vans mid tops.

 

The rev limiter should kick in around 6000 rpm for a "stock" bike.

Hammer Performance recommended I go with a 6500 rev limit for mine, but I've got high performance heads, cams, and ignition along with the 1275 kit.

 

The tech sheet from my Dynatek ignition:

 

Here is another vote for the Shoe RF-1200. I have the graffiti version. Picked it up from motorcyclecloseouts.com for $285. I prefer using the dark smoke lens over transition because it seems to block out the sun just a tad better. I also have a Shoei Qwest. It is very quiet, but is a little bigger than the RF series.

 

Mufflers on! They sound good!

 

Just wait until you ride a 600cc Sportbike when they are absolutely gutless under 8k rpms.

 

Just took the bike for a quick scoot in between rain showers. Boy does she sound good! The saddleman seat is also really comfy for the short ride I took

 

That's probably why i shift higher

 

The grom is just gutless to redline

 

NHs. Not a great pic, but y’all get the idea

 

How you liking them so far

 

Awesome! I got what I wanted out of them, that little rumble. Money well spent I say.

 

All this talk about exhausts! I want one but don’t need one right now.

 

Leaning towards this tyga exhaust. At least it will make the grom sound fast even though it’s so freaking slow.

The Grom exhaust is like $18. Unless you get a full, when its $47

 

I really want myself a honda grom

after my xr50 project is complete its going to be a toss up between an xr650l and a grom

 

When i had mine.. $0 down, $60/month payment

 

I didn’t NEED it either, I just wanted it.
