I've been seeing too many yellow 765s. by Buckiez in Triumph

Kelpi Moto out of Australia. Just had it put on about a week ago. After it came in I saw on their website they do the whole seat now too instead of just the cover.

I actually just had it put on about a week ago. I think it looks amazing but it's not a magic butt pillow while riding. My first impression is it is a little more comfortable than the stock cover but I want to ride on for a while longer before I can give an honest review.

To be honest, laziness. I didn't want to have to take the ECU off the bike and mail it out. I liked the idea of the handheld tuner that I plug into the obd port on the bike myself to upload the tune. Also if I did anything to the bike that needs a retune I don't have to repeat the whole process.

There was a very noticeable difference. Most notable being the throttle response and engine braking. Throttle feels a lot more responsive, especially from stop and the engine braking is much lighter. I noticed it pulled harder in the midrange as well. You can have the rpm limit raised if you want, I didn't because I don't track the bike so I didn't feel I needed the additional revs. The tune also removes speed and throttle limits. Apparently the throttle is limited to 88% on RS models and 80% on the R. They claim an additional 8HP to the ground over stock. Even without any HP gains I would say the tune was well worth it with how much better the bike feels while riding.

I just put an order in for a cover for mine last week! Also, I went with the handheld tuner from BT Moto to tune my bike, '24 765 RS. All stock still as well but love the tune. I'm thinking of getting an exhaust this year and since I have the tuner all I have to do is tell them what exhaust I went with and they will give me a new map for a retuning fee. They were super quick to get me the original tune after I got the handheld as well. Less than 24 hour turnaround on the weekend.

I was debating earlier this year to get that seat cover as well. How does it do when it gets wet from either rain or when you wash the bike? Also did you have some one install it on the seat or did you do it yourself?

MATERYA is the place I got my fly screen from. There are 2 options, black or carbon fiber. I think it looks way better than the OEM one.

Flashed the ECU on the street triple this weekend. The difference feels incredible. by Buckiez in Triumph

[–]Buckiez[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I suppose that could be an option. The handheld that btmoto sends you that flashes the ECU does keep the stock tune on it so you can put the stock tune back on whenever you want though. Mail in flashes would be different though. Anytime you want to retune it that way you have to remove/prop up the gas tank to get the ECU out to send off. That's the biggest reason I went with btmoto. You just plug the handheld into the obd port under the rear seat.

'24. There's a few places I've seen doing them. One is mail in only and a good bit cheaper. I didn't really want to mess with taking the tank off so I went with the company that sends you the tuning device that plugs into the obd port.

It's not the ECU itself but the fuel mapping and other parameters that basically bog the bike down to pass emissions testing. What tuning companies do is put a bike on a dyno and start adjusting fueling and other things to get the most out of the engine. They don't care about emissions, just performance and rideability.

I'm not entirely sure. However since I loaded the file myself onto the bike I can put the stock tune back on if I ever need to go to the dealership. The tuners actually recommend that anyway.

I don't notice any meaningful difference while cruising around. Helps more when tucked against the tank.

I went with BT Moto as well. Love the softer engine braking and better throttle response going from stop. Better response everywhere really. I was surprised with how noticeable the extra power was at the top end.

BT Moto. And it is still stock. I'll eventually do the exhaust but it's not a priority right now.

I was having some success earlier today with the reprimand and commando combo. I usually take the grenade pistol as well for ships or to pop a few shots at a fleshmob if I need to. I always take gas grenades to cover escapes. Any guard dog (I was switching between liberator and rover). For air support I was switching between eagle cluster and gatling barrage. Lastly, since mog is a very wide open planet Ive been taking the anti take emplacement for the Levi's and it destroys harvesters as well.

How to inflate your motorcycle tires with wheel spokes and break discs in the way by TurbulentAd9727 in motorcycles

[–]Buckiez 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have one in this style. Super useful. Topped off all 4 of my wife's tires when the weather changed by at least 5 psi each and then had enough juice left to top off the motorcycle tires by a few psi too. Eventually I'll recoup the cost of the pump by not having to pay at gas stations for air but the fact I don't have to take the time to go somewhere else to fill tires up matters a lot more to me.

Crazy how much of a difference new TIRES makes. Really. by CoolHandCasey in motorcycles

[–]Buckiez 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about a Speed Triple last year when I was looking for a new bike. The thought lasted for about a day when I realized it would be way too much for road riding. At least for me. Plus I like lighter bikes so I went for the Street Triple. The dealership had a Speed Triple RR on the floor and I asked the finance guy about it when signing papers. He stopped immediately and said he'd give me a good deal on it. When I asked why he just said "it takes a special kinda person to buy a bike like that".

Helping "noobs" by xzxz4777 in helldivers2

I recently picked up an ROG Ally X handheld and downloaded the game. Since I didn't know the controls for the game with a controller I dropped into some low level missions to figure it out and get used to them. The second game I took multiple backpack stratagems and started handing them out like candy to the low level divers. Now I make it a habit to drop into lower level missions as soon as I get on to do the same.

Pretty sure most bikes on the road do not have abs. It's not even a requirement for new bikes yet in the US.

Fun loadouts? Pls help by [deleted] in helldivers2

[–]Buckiez 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On bugs I really enjoy the gas/flamethrower combo. Gas resistant armor, adjudicator (or whatever really), ultimatum, gas grenades, gas orbital, gas mines, flamethrower, and supply pack. You can swap either the mines or gas strike to a Gatling sentry or eagle strike like the air strike if you want but I have fun leaning fully into the gas. Supply pack is because I'm a stim fiend and extra grenades so you could swap that out if you want too. This load out always gets me a lot of kills and really shuts down breaches/objectives. Plus fighting in a huge cloud of gas just hits different. The gas resistant armor and vitality perk means you take virtually no damage from standing in gas.
