Giving this a bump. Willing to negotiate some on the price. Thanks.

People complain about this from time to time. I don't notice a difference between bikes to be honest. Lots of people don't wave. Except - yeah those dudes a little too obsessed with looking like outlaws, but most of them waive too. As a cruiser rider I wave when I can, I prefer the "two fingers...

I found the old thread. Could have used you unL33T :) http://www.gtamotorcycle.com/vbforum/showthread.php?145063-Tire-pressure-question&highlight=metzler+tire+pressure

You're kidding? I was googling and I asked on this forum and was left with the opposite impression. Ive been doing it wrong now for 5 years then. I did not come across any clear instruction on this either in the manual or from Metzler. That is very concerning. Plus blew a tire inexplicably then...

Those pictures are horrifying. My scariest moment was also a blown rear - two up + gear in 2010 going 120. The reason mine blew, I believe, is that I was using the psi outlined in my bikes manual (32 psi) rather than what the tire was rated at (40 psi). So with all the weight that particular day...

That's quite a story.

I would also like to piggyback something onto this thread. What do you recommend for Matte touch ups. My boots have caused some wear and otherwise the finish seems fragile. What's a good technique to restore it?

Hi all. Never mind. I spoke to my regular mechanic who said not to use it. I then called them back and the mechanic there said he agreed and would not have used it had he seen the bike. They would have warned against it. So just a miscommunication. Thanks.

I'm sorry, I know this has probably been done to death but in about 2 hours I'm getting an "Interim" oil change at the shop by my work. My bike is only 350k into it's break in, but I'm doing it now because I have a 1000k trek coming up next week and thought better safe than sorry. The shop...

Thanks guys. Yeah, the yellow is growing on me but I prefer monochromatic usually on bikes (and I wouldn't go for yellow). With everything else black though the colouring gives it a really unique look. Plus I saved a good chunk of change over the 2015 model which wasnt that great either. Its...

Thanks both of you. I'll be honest the bike doesn't feel that much bigger than my last one. Same bike cover fits it actually. But, yeah the motor is a whole other story. Serious power. Chhai I got the 2014 yellow and black one. Not my first choice in colour, but I do like the look of it -...

Hi all. I am selling a hardly used Corbin seat "young guns" model. Seat is in "almost new" condition. It is very comfortable. I bought it following a tailbone injury and thought I would never ride again. The Corbin fixed everything instantly. Its a great seat. I'm only selling it because I...

LOL, yeah. All the more reason not to take any chances :)

Thanks all for the reassurance. I assumed as much. I was really one with my old bike - very comfortable and confident. The new one is great, i really like the handling and the ergonomics, but all that extra will take some getting used to. Cheers.

Oh is that right? So the bike will run smoother as I go along you think? That's encouraging, thanks.,

The oil is 3 days old, have about 180 km on the bike. Its brand new. Got it from the dealer on Saturday. Its still in break in.

Thanks for the replies. Yeah Sargent doesnt seem to have one of the m109r. Although I suppose I could call them. I got it and the stock seat is not that bad. I think I will just order from Corbin. Cheers.

Hi all. A few questions I guess. I recently upgraded from a Vulcan 900c I became very used to and loved dearly, to a new M109r. I like the new bike, but some aspects of riding it seem off to me. For instance the throttle seems jerky. I cant tell if its just the different and more powerful...

Shane, thanks so much for offering. I might take you up on that if I cant work anything else out.

I have another question. Please bare with me. Is there like a jerry rig I can use to improve my seat prior to getting the Corbin? I have a tailbone injury and cant last long on a stock seat, and I really want to go on a run for the upcoming weekend on my new bike. Any tricks, cheap gel pads...
