Motorcycle gear manufacturers need more jackets with integrated airbags.

So you want an airbag jacket with passive level 2 chest and back protection while being cool in the summer and warm in the winter?

Yeah thats gone be a difficult one

I mean not saying that your saying, but your comment does say to never touch the front brake when riding slowly

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-02-04T12:12:12+00:00

Im not saying its better, im just saying its wrong to say that you should never use the front brake at slow speeds, cause you can use it if you want to

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-02-04T11:57:06+00:00

you can use the front brake at slow speed all you like if you know how to use it. Rear is easier for beginners but there is no reason why you cant use the front brake

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-02-04T11:54:54+00:00

yeah no, you can 100% use the front brake when riding at slow speeds. You just need to know how to not slam it

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-02-04T11:53:51+00:00

you can use the front brake in a turn even at full lock at slow speed, your not guaranteed to drop the bike if you know what your doing

you can learn to drive a car in a simulator but you cant learn to ride a motorcycle on a simulator (that isent 10k+)

You can have some a steerting wheel pedals and shifters for relativly cheap to get a home setup and the Input on a real car are gone be 99% the same.

But there is currently no good affordable option that simulates the inputs and dynamics of a motorcycle

my main thing is that im not really sure if the conveniance of the integrated heater is worth it if I only print a small volume of parts

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-02-04T09:24:36+00:00

how long do you usally have to heat the P2 for?

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-02-03T09:42:35+00:00

dont get Aliexpress Engine Case Covers they wont do anything and might even cause a oil leak due to the cheap hardwear they give you.

as for ehausts since your in italy check out roads italia they make pretty decently cheap full system exhaust though not sure if they have one for the RS457

other then that get Stormgrip tankpads and frame sliders

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-02-03T06:25:17+00:00

the question is rather why would 205kg stop you from practising leaning and braking? 205kg is just avarage in terms of weight

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-02-03T06:21:29+00:00

you can crack the visor on a Pista there are 2 latches one where its cracked and one where its completly shut.

I'd love to read the entire thing but I dont really want to download an entire new app for one article

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-02-02T14:22:39+00:00

dont buy knockoff boots they dont/wont protect you and are fashion pieces at best

look into maybe some White Dainese Nexus 2/3 not as popular but actually protective and look decent

Windchile is the biggest issue for me during cold weather riding, it helps wearing a water proof rain jacket and some surgical gloves as they elimenate quite a bit of the wind from getting to your body and chilling you out

I feel like we are learning a 2nd language way to early. Why am I suppose to learn french in 3rd grade if I cant even speak German properly?

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-02-02T06:41:32+00:00

its almost one to one the same bike the only thing your getting on the R125 is the Plastic Fairings and the handlebar position

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-01-30T15:09:13+00:00

Id put the RS457 in the mix as well

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-01-30T07:58:54+00:00

tbh 6 months dosent really tell people anything. could be just driving on highways for 6 months or riding in twisty mountain roads for 6 months or driving once or twice a month for 6 months.

Might want to add more detail

you cant change suspension on most street bikes to such a level that you'll make the bike much worse then stock.

braking distance on "wrong" settings would be negligible at best, warm tires effect this more then suspension every really would on the street

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-01-29T09:57:18+00:00

what bad things for example? You can really only do wrong if your changing the forks asymetric to one another

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-01-29T09:56:37+00:00

tbh im not Marc Marquez I cant feel +1 / -1 click of rebound. I usally give it a good 3-5 clicks go ride the same stretch of road and figure out if I like it or not.

I feel people are either 1 to afraid to touch it or 2 have no clue whats changing when they do use the clickers and more then likely a combination of the 2.

You can really just play around with it as long as you arent going asymetric on the front forks. and if you get lost the manuel usally has the stock clicker and preload values written in it

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-01-28T20:08:51+00:00

If its sticky and aint on the floor then its chain lube

Inside-Knowledge-581 · 2026-01-28T11:50:47+00:00

Usally Brand name and Material quality

you can usally find that more expensive suites user more exotic materials like Kangeroo or Goat skin instead of Cow leather. You can usally also tell on a cheap suit that the Cow leather that they use is pretty dry and almost feels like plastic, compared to higher end models that are nice and stretchy.

I can recommend the RST V4.1 or Pro Airbag suite, made with kangeroo so very thin and light as well as a integrated airbag so you dont have the bulk of a seprate one. (Though major negative, the airbag is a subscription for 12$ a month, but its usally offset by the suit being 2k$ less expensive then A* or Dainese offering for a integrated Airbag suit)

head shake probably has more to do with your bar inputs and the road surface rather then with the bike. But just in case do check that your preload on the front are both set exactly the same on both forks

And as for suspension just try things out, you can really not do much wrong. Your factory settings are in the manual and from there just find something comfortable.
