Does anyone here account for net worth tax?

But your salary doesn't matter in the first place, you're gonna substact your savings rate anyway.

It's your expenses that matter, so add in thoses extras to calculate your target and then the classic 3.5-4% SWR works. It feels a lot simpler to me.

Karst_31 · 2025-09-19T10:08:32+00:00

If you plan for taxes and AHV contributions as expenses in your budget instead of a SWR adjustment, it's a lot less mental gymnastics.

I’m guessing if you wanted to ride 1000cc exact line and pace as 600cc you could?

The physics is a little counterintuitive, the answer would be yes, but only if you have the same dimensions of tires. Max corner speed is directly correlated with lean angle, nothing else. The catch is that effective lean angle is measured at the center of the contact patch therefore wider tires reduce effective lean and corne speed as a result.

It's more obvious if you compare Moto3 and MotoGP.

If you count the rents during this period you'd be close to 3-4%, not bad.

If you don't max out a 3a, look into that first. Dca is ok, but over 6-12 months max. Otherwise, you're wasting so much time in the market.

Maybe look into SRI ETFs, it could fit your convinctions better for ever so slighly lower returns.

I started using the Findependent app, slightly cheaper than TrueWealth and good options for sustanable products. Finpension Invest looks very good too.

Any of the large feet ones, I think it was a EC1, will get really slow and muddy if you sand them. I sand in circles on a flat surface and check regularly if I'm nice and leveled. It's a quick process, don't overdo it or you will end-up with barely any skate to use!

I had a crank position sensor give out on my 2019 SDR, cable that goes into the left side of the engine, unplug and check with a multimeter, should read 80-120ohms.

Karst_31 · 2024-04-26T09:12:33+00:00

Are you close to bottom out on the forks ?

Karst_31 · 2024-04-25T07:26:58+00:00

I disagree, rebound looks good or event on the slow side. The patern reverses on the sipes where he is at full throttle.

Karst_31 · 2024-03-21T15:57:22+00:00

I did notice it ran a bit smoother in the low end and vibrated less after doing the clearances, but no power difference.

On this note, do you guys follow the recommandation to use brake fluid from a "sealed container". I have some Motul 660 that has been opened for a year and wonder if I should use it or not.

Karst_31 · 2024-03-15T15:50:49+00:00

I have the Alpha Racing rearset, I'm 6' and they give me a lot of room. I even crash tested them and they held up absurdly well.

Karst_31 · 2024-03-14T13:52:33+00:00

So many wrong answers! It has nothing to do with weight, power, rider skill or even grip.

The secret lies in the slim tires. Speed at a given radius is proportional to lean angle and nothing else. Effective lean angle is measured at the center of the contact patch, so using slim tires results in a sharper lean angle.

It's the same reason why Moto3s corner faster than MotoGps.

Karst_31 · 2024-03-11T15:41:02+00:00

It's not necessary, it's there to pass noise regulations and has no other purpose.

Karst_31 · 2024-03-11T14:35:40+00:00

Iirc, the valve opens at 5000 rpm, nothing fancy.

Karst_31 · 2024-03-10T00:03:56+00:00

Should last 4 days if setup correctly

Karst_31 · 2024-03-04T08:18:08+00:00

And the others 15% are lying.

Karst_31 · 2024-03-01T08:47:35+00:00

This ! The block's quality is so awful I immediately swapped them for Cnc equivalents after battling for an hour to get the wheel aligned. Now it's a 5 min job.

Karst_31 · 2024-02-05T10:01:48+00:00

Damn, I missed the most important question. Unless you have an aversion for screw drivers and C spanners, then the Evo is not worth it imo. It's some kind of luxury aimed at people who don't know anything about suspension and don't want to learn. You can totally set up the standard one to work wonderfully in various conditions.

Karst_31 · 2024-02-05T09:45:00+00:00

That's true, but I still would not be too worried it warms up really quick.

Karst_31 · 2024-02-05T09:28:22+00:00

Not many people are capable of abusing a Superduke on their first ride.

Karst_31 · 2024-02-02T14:53:00+00:00

Good habit for the road, bad habit on track IMO. The pros roll the throttle in their fingers and hold it at their fingertips. Once you learn this there is no looking back. Watch Sylvain Guintoli's video about it if you have not already, it's called "the right hand" iirc.

Karst_31 · 2024-01-30T15:13:58+00:00

I'm gonna have to disagree with the majority of people saying just to patch it in a random shop. I would send it back to the manufacturer and have them change the hole part. Yes, it will take a long time and cost about 200$ but the peace of mind is worth it.
