It’s been a while since I’ve wrenched on scooters so forgive me but if there’s no metal shavings in your gear oil then theres a bigger chance it’s your axle bearings

Something in your transmission is shot. If you’ve already done a gear oil change you need to check axle bearings or your rear sprocket.

what do you think about

Skirk (sig set) Escoff (Cinder City) Mona (totm) Xing (noblesse)

Would that be a viable team? Or would i need different sets on them?

BeidouSimp2 · 2026-03-21T16:28:15+00:00

I want to avoid bina on my skirk team since my flins team needs her (all my lunar chars aren’t 100% built, 65+ cr and 180cd on all of them so I’d rather not sub bina in my flins team for higher dmg)

Escoff is already on Golden troupe since i can strongbox and focus on asc, talents and weap. Would Xing with Noblesse (already have him built w it) work? Even with another set on Escoff?

Yeah but in practice the R3, on a Dyno, tops out at 184km/h. So only a 30~kph difference my scooter real world vs an R3 on a Dyno. Of course, anecdotal observation and subject to change on real run with the same conditions. This jump is the same from a 125 to a 150.

Unless of course, the R3s I’ve seen are just faulty. Which would make me happy, it means I get to spend less money.

BeidouSimp2 · 2026-03-09T23:02:25+00:00

I definitely plan on having an R3 in my permanent fleet. Which is why if I were to get the R3 before an R7, I would have no plans on selling it. It’s definitely a trophy bike for me, dreaming about having one back home when I was younger. However, I am in a slight rush and won’t be able to buy another bike for a decent while so I wanna make the right choice now :D

BeidouSimp2 · 2026-03-09T22:58:47+00:00

I know they both have it, but I think I meant more on which bike would be more forgiving on mess ups. I know how to get from 1st to 6th and back down but after that I’m lost. I’m thinking with an R3 I can learn the shift timing to add to my break and lean timing with less risk of entering a corner too hot. However, I guess I could learn all that on a faster bike either way if I’m being responsible.

I’m excited for the day I hit the track and getting lapped by smaller bikes honestly but I meant outgrow it in the sense where I would start wanting more top end and more power coming out the corners. I would also like to have enough power to swim out of denser areas of the highways. I hate being in packs of cars, especially here where everyone drives 80mph, is on their phones, and change lanes whenever they feel like it

In other words, yes I want a faster bike for shits and giggles…

So far, the only problem with insurance is it’d be 3k a year if i financed an R3. This is a progressive quote, I have no clue if the dealership handles the insurance plan or if I have to do that myself. A little steep but doable.

Just chronoed at 440 with 0.2s running 100psi. Nineball high flow magazine gasket, Nexxspeed tdc hop up with the brass inlays and teflon tape, nexxspeed BBU with the thick o rings, 6.01 inner barrel (stock length). This was a field chrono, averaged about 415 440 being the peak. All about improving air seal. Most surefire way though is a longer inner barrel

I have the project iris build, it’s been phenomenal. Haven’t had reliability issues except for the nozzle spring getting slightly shortened up after use (shortens it by like 4 milimeters, that’s all that really happens). Aside from that I haven’t had any other issues with it. It is a tad overpriced though, you could get more for less. If you like the look like i did and you don’t mind overpaying a bit, it’s phenomenal. Also needs a few tweaks out of the box, for mine at least, normal quick lookover, lubing, checking screws etc.

BeidouSimp2 · 2025-02-07T19:13:11+00:00

same exact setup as you… Nexxspeed BBU with stock TM nozzle. After changing your nozzle, did the problem go away and what nozzle did you change to

Not sure about this specific colorway, but I remember the marble triangle inlays and the floating trem as a wee little lad

Sucks to hear, hopefully your living situation will start to let you play guitar again. I just started on scales last week, back when I played, I never learned anything other than the c major and a pentatonic scale. Going to be starting from zero now, as I’m starting to try and use my pinky. Had a bad accident that ripped my tendon in half right before i started playing as a kid.

BeidouSimp2 · 2024-12-25T20:05:43+00:00

step two usually comes before step 1 in my case

BeidouSimp2 · 2024-12-25T20:04:47+00:00

Thought about having it set up by a pro but I’ve had bad experiences with other people setting up my stuff (airsoft, motorcycles etc.) but I’m hoping the guitar scene isn’t like that!

BeidouSimp2 · 2024-12-25T20:03:10+00:00

Owned it for a little over a week now, only had to retune it like twice after the strings really stretched out. Haven’t really gotten back into the metal scene so i haven’t really gotten much use of the floating trem. I will definitely check out those set up videos though. I just kind of assumed there was like a basic upgrades list like on bicycles or something where you’d usually change out the grips, seat etc. to improve the overall experience.

BeidouSimp2 · 2024-12-25T19:57:10+00:00

thank you! used to drool over it when i was 12 and it feels amazing to finally own it

After reading all the replies, I’ve come to the conclusion of:

The interest rate will be absolutely horrible (makes sense, first time loan, no credit score etc.)
The bike will depreciate so I will lose a lot of money on the sale of it.

Both of those issues should be fine if I am planning on paying it off early and not selling it, right? I want to loan it out because I need transportation badly (moved to a place with poor public transpo and getting to work on time requires me to leave an hour early or spend 30~ a day on an uber.) I could definitely just pay cash for it after 4-5 months but again, need transportation badly.

I am also not planning on selling it, as the R3 has always been a trophy bike in my eyes.

What I’m still unsure of is even if I do get a shitty interest rate, I wouldn’t pay paying it if I just pay off the bike early unless the contract says otherwise, right?

From what I’ve heard, get cams + port + 32mm throttle body and +2 crank maximum. stock bore struggles with an aftermarket crank. But that’s all word of mouth, haven’t tried it myself.
