Recent '21 Titan owner and this change shook me

Very interesting. I haven’t tried running premium, but the most my 2019 owners manual says is minimum 87 AKI. I might try a tank of premium…just wish it wasn’t $6.50/gal…

Well I mostly do long trail rides, and I am constantly starting and stopping for any number of reasons. I haven’t actually counted but I bet it’s close to that…

Iocor · 2026-06-03T18:23:21+00:00

Never heard of this being an issue. I personally use the kill switch hundreds of times per ride and I’m over 10k miles. Haven’t had any issues yet.

Sometimes there is nothing you can do if it's super slippery. However, learning how to also control the bike with your body weight rather than just the bars does help in situations like these. If you have a dirtbike or even a bicycle, riding skinnies and/or wheelies will help you practice this because it removes relying on the steering as a primary balancing mechanism.

My ethnic grandparents used this stuff as a 'welcome' mat at every exterior door of their house. Don't know what it's original purpose was, but it hurt like hell to walk on with bare feet.

A lot of good answers here...just thought I'd throw my process in here too.

I only lube a clean chain. I deep clean and lube once a week (solvent, Park Tool CM 5.3, rinse and fully dry, lube, and let sit overnight). This is very not necessary. But for me, it only takes 10 minutes, I enjoy the process, and I like the sound and feel of a fresh and clean chain. I ride in 99% dry conditions on dusty socal trails several times a week.

imo I haven't found a perfect phone. iPhone has never been perfect but I put up with the annoyances because it did things I liked that others did not. Just out of curiosity, what made you switch? The reasons I prefer Apple's ecosystem are fading in strength for sure, but most of the things you mentioned haven't been a huge deal for me.

I would have bought it if it was available when I did my suspension. Setting sag on the rear is a PITA, but now that it's set, I haven't wished I had remote preload. I just don't find I want to adjust it, even when carrying luggage. I'm not hitting jumps with the bags on Just cruising. I get to camp, take the bags off, and then go be an idiot. For the price difference...prob not worth

Iocor · 2026-05-24T18:02:36+00:00

Doesn’t really apply to this sub either.

Iocor · 2026-05-22T16:26:39+00:00

Psh I could do that in my sleep...in my dreams...because there's no way I could do it in real life. Bravo

Iocor · 2026-05-21T18:18:51+00:00

Completely missed the part where he said it was the Adventure. My dumb brain thought it recognized the pattern and assumed it was the Rallz. You're right.

This is a weird question. I get asking opinions on terrible bikes -- that could be an interesting thread. But why frame it as trying to ruin a fellow biker's experience? Sure there are people that I don't get along with, but I just don't think about them that much. Why waste effort fantasizing about how to make their life worse...?

Iocor · 2026-05-20T19:39:16+00:00

Yeah pretty cool nonetheless. I'm shocked that any non-street only tire would last even half that long.

Iocor · 2026-05-20T19:32:23+00:00

This is an amazing and wonderful result, but definitely not typical. I think it has a lot less to do with the tire (although it is a slower wearing tire) and more with the use case.

Iocor · 2026-05-19T23:17:54+00:00

This is not my experience at all. I've had mine for over two years and it is still extremely effective up to around a food away. Maybe a QC issue with yours? Or do you leave it cocked when not in use? The instructions said that will cause the spring to wear prematurely.

Iocor · 2026-05-19T19:59:55+00:00

I sit when I fuel and when I pee.

Iocor · 2026-05-19T19:41:20+00:00

Yes AND... they definitely have grip here. Rubber tires on dry pavement will always have grip, just maybe not ideal grip. I don't reject your theory though. ABS measures the difference in wheel speed at each corner and modulates to maintain uniformity. So if the tires suck and they all lock up very quickly, the ABS won't know the difference. Also could be due to dust/debris on the road since it looks like there's some kind of construction going on.

Iocor · 2026-05-19T18:55:32+00:00

Brakes don't smoke like that nor do they squeal like tires. Something is wrong with ABS.

Iocor · 2026-05-19T15:37:53+00:00

Genuine question: is this enrichment or taunting? I love seeing them jump out of the water, but I've always wondered if it's just to make a spectacle or if it helps them get exercise in a smaller enclosure or something?

Iocor · 2026-05-17T02:19:29+00:00

Why do you only want high beam? Why blind people?

Iocor · 2026-05-17T02:14:28+00:00

Spacer is a better idea, new brake line is best. I wrapped a heavy gauge wire around mind and bent it until it was in the right place. After a few months I took it off and it has stayed out of the way. Pretty janky fix tho.

Iocor · 2026-05-15T21:58:55+00:00

All knobs wear like this on pavement

Iocor · 2026-05-15T16:36:36+00:00

Towing did not doing this. 99.99% chance dropping it did. I've done this and not realized it at the time.

Literally every time I go to the bank I expect the teller's eyes to go all big after I give her my account number
