    2009 SV650sf - Race Tech

    Next time I talk with Paul I'll let him know that he's highly thought of. Another person who is much closer to you than Race Tech is John Sharrard. He's also highly thought of. And by the way, running thick fork oil is a bandaid for a bad damping setup. In My Humble Opinion.... You'll have...

    What kinda boots do you wear?

    Sidi, Oxtar (TCX), Gaerne, Spidi. Depends on which bike I'm riding that day. Used to have Alpinestars but I've found their quality to be lacking. Also tried Puma 2000 but they weigh about as much as a concrete block. Similar comfort, too. :D

    Cracks in side of tires. How unsafe?

    Johnny5, To be honest, I can't believe you're asking this question. Replace now or stop riding your bike.

    Whose riding tomorrow?

    My guess is that anyone who has a bike that's worth more than 500 bucks will probably stay off the road.

    The change in damping characteristics due to temp changes you'll encounter using 20 wt would be significant. However, you seem intent on taking hearsay advice instead of consulting professionals so I'll simply wish you luck.

    Looking for advice on going to INDIANAPOLIS GP Sunday, August 19, 2012

    There are too many good seating choices to name however you might want to get one which affords you some shade. Turn One Penthouse is about the best place, IMHO. I've had a suite on Pit Row but my feeling is that its really not a great palce to watch the race. Keep in mind that you can go pretty...

    2009 SV650sf - Race Tech

    Personally, I would change the springs first and stick with the same grade fork oil as recommended by Suzuki. If you then find that your damping adjustment range is unable to properly control your fork, you might move to a 10 weight oil - unless that's what is originally specified. If you need...

    21 y/o insurance

    Out of curiosity, for a 39 year old with 1 speeding ticket per year for the past 6 but no accidents, what would a new Ducati Panigale 1199 cost to insure? PL/PD, 2 million liability, collision, fire, theft, loss of use - the works. $25,000 replacement value. $500 deductible.

    21 y/o insurance

    Some of these insurance rates are mortifying. I can see why sportbike sales might be impacted.

    Rear tire age question

    I would be very leary about mounting up 5 year old tires. They likely aren't age cracked but they may very well be age hardened. Initially they'll probably give you the same kind of traction you'd get from a bowling ball. With the reduced price of tires these days, I'm not sure the risk/reward...

    battery fluid

    From experience, it'll do a whole lot more than that.

    Does anyone pre-purchase parts known to break?

    Ditto on the above. Further, buying things which may never break seems like a waste of money.
