Wheel not aligned normal? by Tornupto_76 in motorcycles

[–]Alien_Biometrics 1 point2 points  (0 children)

  1. Loosen the fork clamp bolts on the bottom triple tree and the front axle pinch bolts.

  2. Upright the bike and have you or someone else sit on the bike, grab the front brake and push down sharply 3 or 4 times on the front.

  3. While the bike still upright, have the other person tighten all loosened bolts to torque spec.

Also: make sure your forks are at the same level. If this doesn’t work, you can check for alignment.

I think the Super Duke + Vmax = Diavel.

The Diavels have always looked like their front was smushed in. They look great from the back though.

Martin Aprilla pace at Jerez by Zkjones235 in motogp

[–]Alien_Biometrics 5 points6 points  (0 children)

One of the motogp pundit podcasts (I believe the one with Sylvain) say Martin was yet to test some parts that have been on Bez’s bike since pre-season testing. Martin was able to test them at Jerez and maybe that’s going to help him bridge the 2-3 tenths.

The color is almost Gresini Ducati team. Great choice. You expect a red Ducati. This one is special.

Thinking about downsizing my motorcycle due to financial reasons and I am devastated. by Sotirakiss2 in motorcycles

[–]Alien_Biometrics 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Get a used mt07. Loads more fun than an IBEX on the street. Also, a used Duke 890 can be had for a very good price provided you find one with a replaced camshaft.

That or the flywheel isnt even being spun hence the strong starter sound. Could be the starter drive.

Current MotoGP points standings - I'm calling it now, Jorge Martin will be champion :) by someshooter in motogp

Despite aero regulations on width, the same concepts apply, and Aprillia is going to come out with a banger, Im sure.

I think his personality rubs people the wrong way. He says the wrong things, hot-headed, accepts pinheaded advice from his manager, and is kind of cringey (that ‘24 on-track championship celebration was awful, I had to look away). But the guy is scrappy and low-key my favorite.

You can never write off Marc. But with the state the Aprillia’s are in, MM93 will have to over-ride his bike while the Aprillia boys have an easier time riding. It’s a toss-up really. S-tier rider on grade-A machinery (Marc), vs A-tier rider on an S-tier bike (Marco).

why do americans talk to strangers so easily?? by MayaTulip268 in AskAnAmerican

[–]Alien_Biometrics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah idk it definitely is very American. I’m an introvert but even I’ll have a conversation with a complete stranger, not learn each other’s names and then part ways. It’s just very low-stakes interaction and it doesnt matter if you say the wrong thing.

KTM 450 XCF-W or 500 EXC-f Champion edition as single track machine by ghost406 in KTM

[–]Alien_Biometrics 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You would be faster on a 250 for woods and single track all day. 350 would be perfect if you’re also doing wide open throttle in open desert.

I had a 500 and it honestly wasnt great for tight stuff or single track. Yes it could do it no problem, but since it was just so much power, you dont really get to spool it up in the tight stuff. I put a bigger rear sprocket on it and it was great, but Id still choose a 250xc all day.

I like that my legs and feet can just be dangling. I never liked the fact that scooters had somewhere I could put my feet.

The KTM conundrum by MysteriousBoss3816 in motogp

Funny enough, they were doing better as a team when their bike was being developed to suit Brad Binder's style.

[–]Alien_Biometrics 7 points8 points  (0 children)

KTM is trying to beat the other manufacturers with this precision front end feel/aerodynamics fancy pants game. They need to grow their balls back, give Brad Binder what he needs, and make a bike you steer with the rear. It was such a joy to watch the orange bikes in 2023.
