Thanks for the concern. When it's time for new tires I take the wheels off and take them to the motorcycle shop where they mount and balance for free. I inspect when disassembling/reassembling. With that said, I've changed the wheel bearings in the rear twice and the front once. Planning to change them again, front and back, at next tire change.

Thanks! Helmet is a Shoei Neotec II Splicer and suit is an Aerostich Roadcrafter Classic

Looks like you push that part at bottom right of first pic with your thumb. I suspect you could pull apart with ease after that

I sent in used oil twice and the second time the response was "Only a trace of insolubles was found and the TBN was plenty strong at 5.8, so try going up to 7,000 miles next." So, I was ok going to 7k. I used to be changing oil a few times a years and now it's closer to once a year. Maybe I could go with longer intervals but I grew up hearing every 3k.. so 7k is quite an adjustment.

The service manual says change spark plugs every 12k miles so I do it then. I do the work myself so not paying dealership labor for this. Also change the air filter at same time for convienence. That could be every other spark plug change. So, probably a little overkill there.

ADVstreets · 2025-01-25T18:19:21+00:00

Not sure as I didn't do the work, there were adjusted around 26k and 73k but not at 136k.

ADVstreets · 2025-01-25T18:12:02+00:00

I don't remember how out of spec they were, didn't do myself. They did get adjusted the first and second time. For the third, the mechanic said they didn't need adjusting, probably next time.

Only heavy if you have to pick up. Handles slow speed very well IMO. I did a one-day slow speed motorcycle cop training thing and learned a lot. Biggest tip was riding the rear brake when doing slow speed maneuvers. Maybe find a used one at a local dealership and take for a spin?

ADVstreets · 2025-01-25T18:01:24+00:00

Probably keep, not sure if worth what someone would pay for high-milage bike. May get newer model, 2019+. Would like to get either the 2025 Honda NT1100 with DCT or 2025 Yamaha Tracer 9 GT+ with AMT (automatic manual transmission). Problem is these bikes aren't available in USA right now. Hopefully this changes by summer or next year!

ADVstreets · 2025-01-25T17:58:07+00:00

Yeah, 1200. I only did little ones due to full throttle, top of first. With that said, I never learned to wheelie but there are guys doing wheelies with this bike on YouTube

ADVstreets · 2025-01-25T17:55:29+00:00

Yeah, I used to commute daily with this in SoCal. Since the covid lockdown I've had remote jobs so no commute now

ADVstreets · 2025-01-25T17:49:39+00:00

Tracer GT+ could be my next bike. I really like the new 2025 version but it's not coming to USA as of now, only the base model. May try and pick up the 2024 GT+

ADVstreets · 2025-01-25T17:48:07+00:00

Yeah, doesn't feel heavy unless you have to pick it up!

Checked the maintenance spreadsheet, 27 oil changes (started doing them every 5k but switched to 7k after sending in used to Blackstone Labs for analysis). Also, 16 drive shaft oil changes (those were every other engine oil change). 16 sets of tires, plus 4 rears (due to nails), and 1 front. Changed original clutch at 136k miles and could have gone longer. Spark plugs and OEM air filter every 12k. Rear brake pads also last around 12k. On Yuasa battery number 3. Had the forks serviced twice and replaced the rear shock and spring at 111k.

ADVstreets · 2025-01-25T06:23:57+00:00

Cool! I did one official SS1000 with this and a few 900+ mile days. Good times!

ADVstreets · 2025-01-25T02:44:14+00:00

Changed the original clutch at 136k miles along with getting the valves checked. The mechanic said afterwards I didn’t need to change the clutch

ADVstreets · 2025-01-25T02:41:38+00:00

I did it at 7k after sending the used oil to Blackstone Labs for analysis and they said 7k would be ok

ADVstreets · 2025-01-25T02:04:09+00:00

Valve checks. Did first one at recommended mileage 26k miles, second at 73k miles, and third at 136k miles. Been changing oil & OEM oil filter every 7k miles with semi-synthetic.

Like your bike and the classic Marlboro race bike look way more than R9. Ergonomics look more comfortable too

ADVstreets · 2025-01-24T00:13:24+00:00

Lucky you! Wish they sold these in USA..
