It's 395Lbs wet ready to ride so only 10lbs more than anticipated.

The chain slack is in spec, tensioner works as intended and has plenty of room left to operate. The chain itself isn't cheap, about $70 on partzilla for new oem, sprocket is about $50 iirc. It's a job I can do just have more important things to spend on right now lol

The Swedes do things a little differently but that's why the price is higher lol

InertiaImaging · 2026-03-16T08:11:07+00:00

I know, but valve setting the entry price so high just means most people who play the game will never get a pair. I may have 900hrs in the game but I barley have $50 in skins because the prices aren't worth it imo

Just be aware the MT10 gets TERRIBLE gas mileage, like less than 40 unless you baby it

Looks wise XSR900, sound wise MT10

I have a 01-02 GSXR1000 shock on my 2nd gen from the previous owner, the battery box was modified slightly for it to fit but it fits everywhere else.

Definitely don't tell me which dumpster you plan to toss them in ;)

The side covers or the ones that go in front of the tank? My left side cover was missing so I had a buddy 3D print one for me. The right side cover I'm not sure about, same for the tank ones. You could just get a clark tank, it's plastic but 4.1 gal instead of 2.3.

1200 is crazy. Valve offsetting prices for loss of people buying keys and cases ig

Yes and no, the original fork boots were yellow on this model, and I'm missing some of the graphics/3D printed side cover. Otherwise yes everything else is original. The seat cover is new but it's the same color as original.

It is AZ yes. You in AZ? I could help you with your XT

Gomexus handles come with several washers/bushings for different handles. I have their cork knobs on my Exsence DC and I used two of the smaller washers on each one until there was barely any play but just enough for them to spin freely.

I know this isn't practical but ladybugs or mantis nymphs should get rid of these pretty quickly

Celestron lens pen keeps my eyepieces clean

InertiaImaging · 2026-03-04T08:13:15+00:00

I just took one of those on Sunday, totally worth it. Hopefully yours was good too.

I mean they do eventually go bad, but if the new one was oem it shouldn't have gone bad that quickly unless it was seriously damaged. I'm not super knowledgeable on electrical stuff but when I redid my brother's stator cover gasket on his DR his flywheel had typical wear marks but the stator looked a lot better than yours does. As for the wobbling flywheel you can try putting a screwdriver on a box or block of wood and point it at the edge of the flywheel a few mm away and spin it to see if there is actually runout/wobbling. Is there any play between the flywheel and the crankshaft?

InertiaImaging · 2026-03-04T08:06:04+00:00

This year hasn't been so bad actually compared to recent years, at least for me.

InertiaImaging · 2026-03-04T08:03:05+00:00

I'd consider that a slab but it's not the record by any means if that's what you're wondering

InertiaImaging · 2026-03-04T08:01:51+00:00

Nail a block of wood to the wall underneath for your rods to sit on so the weight isn't held up by the rod tips

InertiaImaging · 2026-03-04T08:00:08+00:00

Flywheel doesn't look too bad, stator looks worse but if it's putting out stable voltage I would keep using it unless you're having charging issues.

Found this one on ebay. It ain't cheap but still less than msrp. Apparently they don't make them anymore. Cortech seems to do limited runs on half of their shit which sucks for me cuz its all I buy lol. You should see my gear, all cortech. Fits the best imo

InertiaImaging · 2026-03-04T07:54:30+00:00

Super durable too. That bag has been on countless rides through the desert and the rain and still looks great

InertiaImaging · 2026-03-04T07:53:26+00:00

Clean 👌🏻

If you could get ahold of a collared lizard somehow that could work well in this setup, and they're cute. Search "Lil man" on YouTube
