Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

Can we get a good profile shot of your bike. Like one with the whole thing in it? I don't really know what it actually looks like as a whole.

 

For any crush washers on motos this is my go-to. Sizes for M8/10/12/14, I lold the same at the price of the 4 crush washers needed for oil changing (2x) and gear oil (2x) on the super tenere. Got this kit and have used it multiple times.

 

One more reason to get a Fumoto valve.

 

Lol. Gotta take the skid off anyways on my tenere.

2x fumotos = 10 of those kits.... Which is many many many oil changes (with zero worry of shit leaking or getting ripped off).

Only thing a fumoto makes sense (imo) is on a vehicle that gets driven tons of miles every day needing oil changes like once a month.

 

Nice! I sealed the stock rims for the DRZ. Pretty easy mod if you have two people. Not sure why anyone messes with tubes anymore.



Spent the day getting the front tire, frame sliders, axle spools, and tail bag all sorted out. Was able to go for nice, twisty 30 mile ride before the latest in a fukin' month of thunderstorms hit. (Old Man rant incoming) In all my 56 years, I don't remember ever getting this much rain over a month period. I think we've had close to 5 inches and it's the same forecast, i.e. high chance of t-storms, every day for the next week or so. My sump pump has been busy!

 

You sound like somebody who hasn't had the the wrench slip off the drain bolt and then headbutted his crash bars hard enough to split his eyebrow and see stars.

 

Those are better, but still not a profile pic.

 

Well our trip up north was canceled I guess nobody wanted to go to the family reunion... Oh well...

I went to register the bike since I finally got my damn title... And guess what the dealer messed up my damn title so now I have to get a notorized bill of sale so gotta wait on that now


ahhhhhhhhhhhh that is all.

 

Because I'm lazy lol.

 

My rims have tubliss installed on them but has tubed tires. I didnt know until I put the second set of tubed tires.

Honestly I don't trust it and tubes are simple on light offroad bikes.

I'd run mousse inserts before trusting the tubliss in my wheels.

 

Well just got back from a rip on the klxSm. Damn this bike is fun. Chased a RSV4 up high bridge road. That was fun. He gave me a fist bump at the end in clearview. We were not riding slow Lol. He obviously got me on the straights but I easily caught up in the corners. I am getting more confident in the bike. Supermoto is where it’s at!!!

 

You went up in the front. Throttle should be less jerky if anything.

1 tooth down is the same as the up ~3 in the rear as a quick reference. S

Tubeless tires just mean they are capable of sealing without tubes. Ive run both both ways. Including tubed tires without tubes.

Wouldnt worry at all

 

Very sleek and sharp

 

Not an old man and have the same complaints lol. Just got a motorcycle, truck needs work + no garage space, every friend ever wants to do stuff ........and it's been the rainiest year i've ever experienced

 

So, I actually looked (rather than making a half @assed guess) and found my area got almost 10 inches of rain in May and 3.5 inches so far this month. Annual 30 year avg. is less than half that. Where the hell is my summer? I want to be complaining about heat, humidity, and not enough rain!

 

Looks so much better. Was the same with mine when I changed it up. Love looks and the sound now. Like to give it a little rev lol. Really shows the great motor in the bike off so much too. Old exhaust like yours wasn’t flattering all.

 

Yeah I hear that, the other week we had 6.5 inches in a day. Lots of rain last month and a half here too.
