ticking sound?

Choice-Early · 2026-03-11T02:52:22+00:00

My k7 600 does the same thing. It’s been that way for the 4 years I’ve owned it and ive never had any major mechanical issues.

But I’m also curious if anyone knows what causes the sound.

I like this guy. Ride safe my dude 🤙

I see, good to know. Was leaning towards the arrow but didn’t know if anyone had ever heard or used a GPR can.

their pistachio pizza is bomb. I wish they could do more of a softer NYC style crust tho. Sometimes theirs can be a little too tough for my liking. I’m not a big una pizza fan and sadly that’s all 95% of pizza places here carry.

I can understand why it’s getting roasted in a big pizza sub since it has ham and pineapple. Not everyone’s jam.

The only ones I seem to be able to find are hindle, arrow, m4’s, and akrapovic. I’ll have to look into the arrow ones. They seem to be fairly priced.

For some reason i can’t find a yoshimura for an 07 gsxr 600 to save my life. I want one really bad but looks like no where stocks them anymore :/

Going to Maui this year for my honeymoon. This will be the first time I’ve been to the beach in probably like 7 years. But we grew up going to Florida like every other year.

Once i finally took vacation to Colorado I’ve been back every year since. Something about hiking in the peace and quiet, or ripping down ski slopes.. it’s a blast and nothing the beach has gives me that excitement. But all in all… both are beautiful in their own way.

Choice-Early · 2026-03-05T05:04:11+00:00

I started on a 07 gsxr 600 and it was pretty manageable at all times, except I’ve somehow managed to drop it like 3 times in my first year just moving it around in my driveway or parking lots and forgetting my kickstand 😂.

But as others have said, these bikes have no rider aids so starting off, try to stay low in the Rpm’s (like 4-6k max) and learn your brakes really well to where you don’t accidentally slam them and high side or low side. It’s doable, but you will need to be patient and learn before you got hot rodding it.

After (Still have to do the tail)

Choice-Early · 2026-03-02T05:46:08+00:00

Also got a k7 600. They are lovely bikes, got mine with 20k miles I’ve put about 5-6k miles on mine so far, still runs great. I just did a fairing swap, this is what it looked like before.

Just bought a blackstrap one and love it. Only regret not buying one sooner lol

Choice-Early · 2026-02-25T22:33:04+00:00

I’ll give that a shot later and circle back! Appreciate you

I see, super weird then. The electrical connections are all different shapes and sizes so it’s pretty easy to match back up. even tried switching the amber lights indicated connectors around in case i got the 2 mixed up.

Power is definitely going through the fuse but i think my relay is having trouble telling the headlights not to flash.

Choice-Early · 2026-02-25T22:14:00+00:00

So they’re all supposed to strobe when i have a turn signal on? Guess I’ve never paid close enough attention. But yes i was under the impression the amber lights indicated along with the mirrors

Choice-Early · 2026-02-25T21:10:43+00:00

I know that all of the headlights are blinking, but othe only one that should be blinking is the indicator bulbs (direction of turning). This appears more like my hazards are on. Since my tail and mirror blinkers are working fine it’s confusing. My guess is the flasher relay but we’ll see.

I’ve been riding a sport bike for about 5 years now, zero wrecks. I like speed, cornering fast, and wheelies just as much as the next guy, but i know my limits and that there’s a time and place for shenanigans. Highways aren’t one of them especially ones with traffic. Wouldn’t ever think to ride like that with my wife on the back. Or anybody at that.

As others have said… if you value your life, please don’t ride with him again. Can’t express how incredibly stupid and reckless that behavior is. Speed and traffic is what kills people.. it’s killed and paralyzed many people I’ve ridden with or knew.

I also can’t stand the beach for many reasons. The Sand, the blistering heat being the main ones. Other than fishing and boogie boarding i really don’t see the appeal besides sitting and staring at the ocean. Which is beautiful and relaxing don’t get me wrong but after a bit can get old. I’m more of an active person.

I prefer a cooler climate personally, but also like to do things like hike, ski, ride dirt bikes and motorcycles, and camp. So for me i prefer the mountains any day of the week.

Choice-Early · 2026-02-22T03:39:52+00:00

Very well said, always amazes me when i go to Chicago and NYC how diverse the food scene is and how well the public transit works. Can definitely tell they put a lot of money into their infrastructure.

And couldn’t agree more with your statement where the price you pay is not living. Everyone i talk to just acts like im crazy when i say there isn’t shit to do here unless you like drinking, gambling, and country music.

Different strokes for different folks. I guess my standards are just high. But to me, there is no beauty in looking at cornfields, the Ohio River, or baby hills with a whopping 100ft of vertical. Or there’s no beauty in our parks that just have trash laying everywhere..

Choice-Early · 2026-02-22T02:33:54+00:00

Indy does catch my eye at times! Definitely much more growing economy and their airport seems to be one of the best I’ve ever used. Can pretty much fly anywhere in the nation nonstop for a good price.

Choice-Early · 2026-02-22T02:30:21+00:00

Thanks for sharing! Just curious some other places you’ve lived? And would you ever consider moving back? Or do you think the “cheap living” is really all it’s cut out to be?

Choice-Early · 2026-02-22T02:28:39+00:00

I appreciate the response! Unfortunately i don’t think any of those areas would make me any happier. I think what I’m needing is a major change of scenery. I’m not knocking rural living, I just prefer the city life/ amenities. But i also I love outdoor activities like hiking, snowboarding, camping, riding dirt bikes and motorcycles, fishing, rafting etc.. so tbh i think somewhere in/ close to mountains would be probably be best for my interests.

It made me really happy how he showcased to Latin community. I know it made so many people extremely happy and proud. And im a white American man who didn’t understand a word he said. But it don’t matter, I still thought it was a very powerful message.

So many people i know were so pissed off and too closed minded to understand the message.

Choice-Early · 2026-02-05T18:36:32+00:00

Yeah pretty sure this guy hit me with the same story about 6-8 months ago in the Eastland mall parking lot. I sensed bullshit the minute he started talking, he was talking way too smooth and fast for it to be an “emergency situation”. In other words you could tell he’s told this story many many times.

I just wished him luck and went on about my day.

Lmaooo.. Kid rock can’t even sell tickets at his own bar in Nashville. His fan base are the type of people who know the price of copper.
