2017. Te300 For the Kickstart? I know they have a short bolt that has a tendency to break. When I get in there to inspect the clutch, I'll likely drill and tap it for a longer bolt. I almost never use the Kickstart. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

It was absolutely a WTF moment. I was prepared. I had earplugs in. My friend did not! I should have had the camera going. The two map gas torches going on that dent had it cherry red... I wonder what the pressure spiked to at the moment of ignition! Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

Shock disassembled, cleaned, bled with the vacuum pump, and shot full of 145lbs of nitrogen. Cool home made machine my friend built. Pipe heated and dents pulled out. That was...err... interesting. 2 expansion plugs, safety wired, one with a schraeder valve. Bicycle pumped up to 120lbs. Bled...

I kept a heat gun on low to toast up my fingers. Tools are still ice cold, even with a heater going. I've used a radiant oil heater when it was nearly unbearable, but if its that bad, bike maintenance can wait! I just took lots of breaks. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

Maybe. If I was in the market for a drz, I'd rather have the last year of production, than the first year of a "new model". The engine is essentially identical (- fuel injection). Let the problems get sorted out first. They're going to have to drop the price at some point. Sent from my...

Not so sure about the pod filters. Looks almost "flat-track" style. I do like those bikes. Playful. Torque-y. Suspension sucks. Not sure if its any different on the new ones. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

Fz/mt-07 feels like a big motard. I don't see why anyone would put supermoto wheels on a t7. Maybe, If the mt07 didn't exist??? 500 exc-f supermoto would be fun, just not for any kind of distance. Its pretty vibey. By the time you convert a new bike, you are knocking on $20 grand... Drz400sm...

Agreed. I'd hope the new drz4s drops the prices of the outgoing model. Good time to buy a tried and true 24 year run proven dualsport. If the new model was a 6 speed, Lighter, More power - not enough of a performance increase to justify the price. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

T7 is 460 lbs. Wet. Great gravel road bike, but not double and single track; at least not at a reasonable pace, and not when things get difficult. Ktm 390 enduro is going to weigh in at 351lbs. Bolt on some handguards and a skidplate, and you'll be around 360... pretty porky. Moreso than a bush...

Dirtbike maintenance. Removed my exhaust, shock, linkage, and swingarm. Re-grease and clean everything. A friend is helping me heat the dents out-of my pipe, and we're using his scavenging vacuum pump to replace my shock oil. -14° in my shed thismorning... not so nice. Sent from my SM-G960W...

That would make more sense. Message him, and find out! Post the response Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

Hes got 3 Aprilia rsv, and a tuono (all early to mid 2000's, Rotax engine v-twins). All crashed, but lots of parts. Likely enough to make a streetbike, and a trackbike with spares. Tempting... Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

https://www.facebook.com/share/1AHtRtNkob/ $5500 for an fj09 Can't say its an amazing price, but its reasonable. Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

Did that once, during the "Cafe racer" craze back in 2012 or so. 1978 cb750ss. My problem was, once it was fixed, I was trying to ride it like a modern bike... spaghetti frame. Thin tires. I was scraping the wolf 4-1 exhaust around corners. Bike had to go, before I wrecked it. Sent from my...

I'd argue the opposite. "Its the road that makes the riding fun". The twistier the better. I will agree that cutting through traffic on a small bike is fun. My wr250x is great for this. I'm lucky enough to live outside of the city... I hate heavily congested traffic. As for the Bonneville...

Tire #2 spooned on. Ac-10. Reviews aren't great, but it was a freebie. I'm running out of bike maintenance to keep me busy! Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk

Why didn't I think of that! Bikes can make local commuting more fun, don't get me wrong. But, in the summer, riding 3 hours north; Bala, Southwood, Kinmount, 507, 503, Glamorgan Rd, 118, 648, back through Algonquin, and home... its a good ride, but its an all day affair for a few excellent...

That's different. That's like me saying "I don't mind commuting in my truck; its the same old roads, but I like my truck..." Commuting isn't the same Sent from my SM-G960W using Tapatalk
