Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Yeah, haven't gotten any backorder emails. Everything in the status has just been on "Picking" for a few days. Ugh.

 

Bmw stressing me out today...shifting N-1-2 has some weird clunking, both heard and felt. not present when idling or revving in neutral, so would guess it's transmission related. Otherwise seems to be running fine, and no slipping of gears or loss of power. Can't notice it in the other gears but not sure if it's actually gone, or just can't hear/feel over the exhaust/vibrations.

Gonna be going to the track this weekend so won't be able to take it in until next week.

 

How old is your oil? Mine gets noticeably clunkier when I'm nearing an OCI.

 

My typical vendors, although these tend to lean to dirtbike more than road going machines (701)

Aomc
motosport
Slavens racing

Might check:
Ktm twins
Rottweiler

Yeah this. They aren't always the fastest and definitely have that particular issue ^.

 

I just had the oil changed September 17th when I had a new front put on as well

 

Great info. Thanks. I'll list it for sale next spring.

 

I got nothing then haha sorry!

 

I've used RMATV and Rottweiler before, this was my first time (and probably last time) using AOMC. I'll give Slavens a look.

 

What are you looking for?

I wouldn't write them off, they do carry some stuff the others dont.

 

Exactly…..

I dunno, could still be fun off road. Although the SM could a lotta fun hootin’ around.

 

You should post it for sale on one of the FJR forums. More likely to get a hit from someone already familiar with the platform. Where are you located? If I here anyone looking maybe I can send them your direction.

 

dont get me wrong i loved my sm it was a blast around town and had great power for it and the weight tbh in city and on the road honestly was fine....

so im sure the sm model will be great for around town and id be interested in one but there is other supermotos out there that are loads better as well.

 

What!?

 

Japanese SMs not so much ha


DRZ4SM and KLX300SM are it for new models anyway.


If Suzuki updates the DR650 they’d have to really screw the pooch for me to not get one eventually.

 

Oddly enough the FJR is still being offered in Canada and Australia for now. Likely overstock and the same Cobalt Blue they've used over several years. Rumors on FJR forums think that they may return but those are unsubstantiated at this point. Some owners speculate a possible redesign might be in the works.

 

i wasnt stating only japanese models now was i??

 

I have heard good things about that site. I wouldnt put too much thought into it. But maybe follow up before its too late


Ordered a Kriega Tool roll. Revzilla had them on sale for $80, original price $95. I like their design over others, especially Amazon's offerings. Also remember Im too poor for anything that Mosko has anymore.

 

New one would be intriguing, albeit a decent chance they’d botch it as well ha.

This is the first I’ve heard of it! Such legends!

 

Oh, no you weren’t! Just for those of us who are lame and wish for things that don’t exist, some reliable Japanese middleweight contenders in the SM market would be awesome!

The husky’s are amazing but super race oriented. The KLX is a little beginner oriented. I got excited at the prospect of the DRZ being a nice in between. I, for one, am super happy with the new DRs. Other than the pig of a tractor KLR not many companies are willing to update their 80s/90s dinosaurs.

 

I ordered OEM heated grips, oil change kit, and OEM countershaft seal repair kit. I did message their support and they said their last KTM order got shipped freight instead of normal shipping so it was slow, but it'll go out today. So support was good at least and understandable reason, I just wish they'd freaking communicate y'know.

I've eyed that a few times. I have a cheapo Amazon one currently that does fine but is slots only, with no zip pockets, and also liked that the kriega has a socket rail built into it.
