Very nice

 

daaaamn how did i miss this! congrats man its one hell of a nice looking bike!

 

Thank you I saw an 890 Duke R there too that is a sweet bike

Thanks! Supposed to be cold this weekend but I’m gonna take it for a ride

 

hells ya man! i prob wont ride for a bit we got some snow and ice recently so salt is all over the roads so mine sits in the garage leaking oil again.....

 

Salt is the worst I don’t blame you

 

yuuuup its no fun i use to park my si that i had in the garage when salt was on the roads and take the tacoma to keep that car as clean as possible lol didnt always work thou!

 

That’s funny I hide my truck in the garage and takes the wife’s WRX everywhere

 

haha i never cared to much with the tacoma since it was old and i beat on it pretty good my si was brand new and lowered so it went in while the truck went out lol now both are gone and all i got is the ranger and a broke 90s civic lol

 

@uurx and @spencermarkd

 

So the stock speakers connect with an Aux cord style hookup, so I bought these and they are a direct fit, I tucked the excess cable in the top of the helmet Liner and leave about 8” hanging out to be able to hold the helmet next to my head, install the monitors, and drop the helmet on, after I cinch the chin strap I just push the excess between the liner and my head so it doesn’t catch on my jacket.



I would hazard a guess and say that people see how much fun ADV bikes are and want to try it. I think ADV is a quickly growing segment of the market, I just got my bike in July and went the Adv route and my next bike will be an ADV/touring bike (Africa twin) as the KLR is not the most comfortable for road rides longer than 30-40 minutes.

 

might ride a bit its gonna be 50-55 this weekend hmmmm

 

I saw, I just felt bad with how much I've bastardized my '67 compared to that one and didn't want to mention my blasphemous ct90

 

Got any details on the class/school, Zac? I might be interested for no other reason than the experience. I plan on buying a monkey this year and that’s kinda like a mini-supermoto, no? I feel like the hooning skills would directly translate there more than on the Harley.

I need to replace the brake fluid on my bike but some say that it requires a special tool or procedure because I have ABS on both wheels. Anyone have any insight into that? Is it worth taking to a shop or can I work around it on my own?

 

for the bmw boys

It depends on what bike you're working on. I'm on a Yamaha FJR1300 and it has linked ABS. When flushing/changing brake fluid you need to actuate the ABS to push old fluid out of the ABS block and shuttle valves. The process is built in to the on board diagnostics but you need to make a jumper wire to do it. It is important to do it so that you get the old fluid out of the ABS module. Check a forum for your bike and see what other owners have done.

 

@FreshOldTaco yea I've been enjoying the 890R too cold for me to ride tho..

 

Fun watch. Interesting to see the process differences the ‘other guys’ use at their manufacturing facilities.
