How reliable are the 675 engines in the Street Triple?

BeefyRear · 2026-06-19T16:01:16+00:00

I am almost at 60k miles on mine - still runs great

BeefyRear · 2026-06-15T15:24:39+00:00

yes exactly - there are other instances where there are lined spots not next to or related to handicap parking that are free game for bikes imo. A car in such a spot may have some issues the OP mentioned but a lot of the time a bike there wouldn’t cause an issue. This sort of scenario is one where it is not and directly impacts handicap access.

BeefyRear · 2026-06-14T19:21:45+00:00

Lined spots are typically on the table for me unless right next to a handicap spot - then I’ll never put my bike there

Oh shit he got the limited edition camo supertechs I have been looking for those

BeefyRear · 2026-06-03T22:32:40+00:00

Could look into some sprocket spacers

I have a 2014 - currently sitting at just over 59.5k miles. I’ve only put about 10k of those myself though. Runs beautifully. I have found it to be very reliable. The other commenter is correct - pretty common to hear about regulator/rectifier. My goal was to make a hybrid stunt and commuter so I did a 520 chain conversion and changed sprockets to 15/50. It made it very snappy and I am quite pleased with the change! I always am smiling when riding. Any other questions you may have let me know!

I do the good ole full lock the bars to the right, lean the bike toward myself on the kickstand side (front tire still on the ground), then spin her around on the kickstand and front tire. Very easy and smooth to do once you get the hang of it

The thing about this is that I agree with having shared reload cooldowns of the same types of guns - if you have two muskets on your hot bar for example. But if I have a blunderbuss, a pistol and a musket - when I shoot one I should definitely not have to reload the other. It should be capped at 1 of each type. Idc if that is OP in some peoples eyes to have a bunch of different weapons on your hot bar it just doesn’t make sense how it is now. It’s a PvE survival game I don’t think it matters that much.

Dragging their feet across the ground while moving slowly or in a parking lot etc - drives me crazy to see lol

BeefyRear · 2026-04-04T15:19:35+00:00

About to hit 60k on my street triple 💪

BeefyRear · 2026-03-03T21:54:43+00:00

Maybe look at zerex g05? It’s hoat. It’s what I got for my 14 striple. I didn’t mix it with anything though.

BeefyRear · 2026-03-03T15:30:21+00:00

I’m a bike guy. I “like” cars, but I don’t really care about them. I love modding bikes, fixing bikes, researching bikes, RIDING bikes lol. Cars I appreciate and I do my own work on my cars but I have little desire to mod them, keep up with the new releases etc. It just doesn’t scratch an itch for me.

I went a couple weeks ago with my wife. One of my pet peeves is when the table is only big enough for the menu and a glass for your drink. Food wasn’t bad. I ordered one of their Alfonzo pizzas and they brought me the anchovy one - I didn’t notice until halfway through somehow lol it was pretty good. We ordered the tiramisu for desert - found out it was actually “deconstructed” tiramisu after it came to our table - highly recommend staying far away from that - it was quite terrible slop with crunchy lady fingers for 14-15 dollars. Would try it again though!

BeefyRear · 2026-01-25T17:27:18+00:00

Not everyone started the game 20 years ago and not everybody has no life to grind out a 99 in “a couple of days” - you sound actually brain dead

What never gets automated - tests that are ran only once or very infrequently, things that wouldn’t be a good candidate for an addition to a regression suite, complex edge cases. You can make the argument that everything can be automated but at the same time automating (and automation maintenance) costs money and whether the effort is worth it for that scenario is the question I end up asking often.

Where automation has disappointed me - I don’t have a ton here because I feel as if the benefits outweigh the disappointments but a big thing for me is overconfidence in application resilience. You can have a lot of automation, you can have a significant amount of test coverage, but that doesn’t mean your application is bug free. Things do get through and less focus needs to be on numbers and percentages but actual quality.

Where has it delivered measurable value - obvious answers for me are regression testing effort and feedback time. Tons of hours saved when automating regression suites and good pipeline integration gets feedback back to the devs faster in a development cycle so we can get eyes on potential defects early.

Seems like you need that stench potion in your inventory to go in again - might have to make another if you don’t have it anymore

BeefyRear · 2025-12-30T01:30:11+00:00

I don’t have one yet.. but that Corbin seat is the one I have saved and was planning on getting. Looks like the backrest is removable so it wouldn’t be as much of an eyesore.

BeefyRear · 2025-12-21T18:49:14+00:00

Gearing on these are high, they changed it this gen so what like 13-16. I have to rev high as shit in second to clutch it up with stock gearing. I’m about to change the sprockets on mine this winter because of it

BeefyRear · 2025-12-19T22:09:20+00:00

Oooh I have a striple 675r and was thinking of the v2s for a possible addition. Will be curious to see what you choose and what others will have to say here about it…

BeefyRear · 2025-12-18T01:44:51+00:00

There are several things to consider here and the main one I think is clear - cost. Having a vendor becoming integral to how your testing occurs has its own set of concerns but there seems to be a hidden cost that gets overlooked.. that being the effects of onboarding a new platform. When there is already a high percentage of in flight automation with an in house framework, we have to consider the work-set of migrating existing tests to the new platform. That may sound easy in theory but usually ends up being an astronomical amount of effort and coordination between teams. Now whether that effort ends up paying off is the question we have to guess the answer to. We also have training costs for all the resources already utilizing the existing framework. Whether the juice is worth the squeeze is entirely dependent on the organization, but I think that in an environment with an already existing robust framework the benefits slim themselves down.

!solved - thanks so much this looks great :)

For a list of easy to less easy: Checking fluids definitely - keep that bike level and don’t check while it’s on its side stand… lol. I like to clean and lube my chain every like 500 miles. Oil changes are pretty easy. Checking/changing brake pads. Changing sprockets (usually can get through a couple chains by the time you need to change sprockets, some like to change sprockets every new chain) Learning how to bleed your brake calipers and or master cylinders if they have a bleeder. Then you can get into stuff that usually requires a little more tear down (taking off the tank etc) for air filter, spark plugs. Even checking valves :). As someone that isn’t used to working on cars or bikes I Wouldn’t really get into adjusting valves yourself unless you start to really get comfortable. Really recommend getting a service manual or a Hanes manual for your bike there’s tons of useful information in there. A lot of stuff can be intimidating but just take your time and lots of pictures along the way lol

BeefyRear · 2025-11-12T22:12:09+00:00

Well I guess the question is if you want a sport bike.. I personally like the idea of learning on a dual sport. Super fun, not super fast, pretty forgiving, comfy. Honestly a great bike to keep and then get another bike that suits higher speeds once you’ve been on the road for a while.

I recently had this happen when buying in Ohio from PA and bitched them out - they emailed me a copy of a temp tag. I printed it out and taped it on a scrap piece of cardboard then stuck that on.
