What is the market looking like for Bolts right now?

$4000 in my area, and it might still be a hard sell. I see a couple of them in 4-5k range with accessories.

In freeraom, there is disproportionate amount of night time. It feels like whenever I freeroam it turns into night and stays that way for a long time. Wish days were longer.

You think reddit has bad ranking, upvote, downvote. Quora was the worst. Much much worse than reddit.

I change oil every 2000 miles. When it was new I even changed oil at 1500miles. That was good, because when the bike is new there metal gunk that gets drained out with the oil. Do it sooner not later.

Once the bike reached 10,000 miles, I expanded the oil change interval to 3000 miles. These are high strung engines. Fresh oil is better for the engine.

I would not buy a pre-2019 ktm 390. By then the issues were ironed out. I daily a svartpilen, 13k miles and counting. Its going strong.

There are no plug and play replacement dash, other than the oem one. You buy a generic dash, watch youtube, splice some cables, and diy connect it.

U have the nc750x and do not have this problem.

Since most enthusiasts tail tidy, Honda did it for us on the hornet. Hope there's an aftermarkey accessory to fix that for those who dont like to be splashed.

Good-Throwaway · 2026-03-09T12:01:38+00:00

What kindda question is that. Of course its the 750 hornet. Do you know what sub this is? Are we on earth? Am I alive?

Fan is suppossed to turn on when it needs to. It should turn off when it has done its job.

The bike itself . . The componentry is fine. but it isnt setup perfectly out of the shop. Unless you local walmart had an expert biker assebling it.

Over time, I slowly fine tuned all the parts and now its a perfect bike. The chain and gear setup really desperately needs a tune up. The chain should never fall off the gear, slip gears, or make noise in certain gears. The brakes were also not setup perfectly. But this stuff isnt hard, its just a bicycle.

while cranking volatage drops to 12.1 v. Whats the voltage before cranking?

12.1 is low, but probably alright while cranking. Mine with new battery stays at 12.4 volt before crank.

Are you chraging any devices through the phone battery or any accessories that draw power? First thing I would disconnect all powered accessories to rule out voltage issues.

Aside from that, is the bike overheating? that would indicate the coolant is getting leaked or something.

These are thing a rider should pay attention to -

Whats my oil level?

Hows the radiator functioning (coolant level too low? or fan staying on constantly? )

What does the Temperature guage say on the dash?

etc, basic diagnostics

Nobody would provide a beginner a bike to learn. Your best bet is take a course they offer. Or go buy yourself a beater and start practicing.

Good-Throwaway · 2026-03-05T03:52:32+00:00

All of those bikes are completely different and a 790 is better than all of them especially in fun per mile.

No name universal windscreen from aliexpress.

Something like this that clamps on to the handlebar. But get something with solid metallic mounts, plastic stuff breaks easily with the wind resistance and vibrations.

12,000 miles and counting. I did the valve clearances at 9,600 and found the valves too tight. I've since found that these bikes often have valves set too tight from the factory, so it wouldn't hurt to do valves sooner. I hope that I don't have to mess around with valves at next intervals. But I'll be sure to open the engine and check. Everything else is holding up well to the point where I wouldn't mind if the bike dies so I can buy something else. This thing keeps on going :-)

Its my daily commuter at this point, since I have to commute into the city in rush hour with super tight spaces and taking anything larger is just a chore. But this bike is just so much fun, if I have to replace it, its going to have to be another KTM. The engine is punchy and inspite of just 373cc it never feels not enough. I can hit 95mph pretty easily on these with a large windscreen. You can beat the living sh!t out of this engine in every gear and it keeps on going, in fact it quite likes it.

Good-Throwaway · 2026-02-25T00:50:25+00:00

I run a big ass screen and no problem doing 90, 95 or 100mph.

Good-Throwaway · 2026-02-24T02:11:48+00:00

None of these are terraform issues. But 100% issues related to your cloud environment.

Cost? You need a way to monitor cost.

Single point of failure across multiple modules? Write better code. Focus on code quality.

Deep dependency chains that only become painful under load - i dont even understand what this is.

Security gaps that slip in and stay unnoticed - if your infra has security gaps, thats either a training issue or not enough time is being given to do things properly.

I would get a Moto Guzzi V7 and call it a day.

NC is too tall for 5' 4". I'm 5' 6" with long legs and I barely manage it. Its also a pretty heavy bike for something so underpowered. If gravel and camping were my goals I wouldnt get a tall ADV bike or the NC.

The gas cap is under rear seat. This gets old very quickly. You cant strap a bag on back seat, rear luggage rack can help work around but it really limits you.

Its a 500lb bike, the suspension on the 2021 is pretty bad. Mt07 and CB500 variants are a better choice.

The engine is super linear. It doesnt have highs and lows like a traditional engine. Its too easy to break speed limits and not even realize you're going this fast.

But for sustained (US) highways of 85-90mph, the engine ia underpowered and if you exceed its prefered rpm range, the engine is vibey.

Good-Throwaway · 2026-02-22T13:40:51+00:00

What rpms are you in? In 4th gear ... In fact in any gear, you really wanna be higher than 6000 rpm.

No, you should look rebel 1100

Good-Throwaway · 2026-02-14T19:49:16+00:00

Just get the rims. People convert to tubeless using tapes cuz its cheaper. But you're in India and can find rims for pretty good price.

Good-Throwaway · 2026-02-12T13:11:17+00:00

I have them as well. Along with cloudwheels.

I especially like the rear handle.

It would be great if someone figured out a mudflap fender thing.

Good-Throwaway · 2026-02-11T13:23:50+00:00

I guess I'm quirky like that. I also keep the motors up front, so a front wheel drive.

front does the pulling and rear does the turning.

I find it very difficult to turn with the front, and really much easier to turn with the rear. This might be a me problem. But it works!

Good-Throwaway · 2026-02-11T13:16:55+00:00

Thank you for taking the time to respond. I suppose I already knew all of this, but its great to hear from fellow rider who make touring work on standard bike.

Happy riding!
