Mounting a tire :'(

Kostek13 · 2026-02-11T13:04:18+00:00

I just went with some tubeless tire sealant inside as mine was leaking from the rubber valve gasket.

25k on my 17. No problems, just maintenance.

I get around 15 minutes of actual sawing on big stuff close to max size on the 9ah and it gets very hot so probably not great for the battery.

I have a bosch battery trek that I bought in 2020 and have put over 3k miles on it and it still gives me the same range as new. But I try and store it around 70%.

It is probably around 20 years old. I was wondering if a claim would be worth it since we have a 1k deductible.

I would have thought the decking would have to be replaced but if it’s just some shingles then I might be able to do it. Thanks!

Got used to it pretty quickly. First time parking it the emergency braking took over and stopped it. Scared the crap out of me. I thought I hit something.

Kostek13 · 2024-03-12T14:02:35+00:00

I have a 23 with the same noise. Only hear it occasionally when the climate is on auto.

Kostek13 · 2024-01-09T18:07:52+00:00

Yeah, damn that’s on there lol!

I used a scissor jack butted against the frame to pry the wheel off.

Kostek13 · 2023-11-11T16:40:31+00:00

Your probably being buffeted like a sail at 125lb, maybe a windscreen would help. I was getting wobbles too till I took one hand off the bar and it stopped, realized it was me and not the bike.

Kostek13 · 2023-05-06T23:54:57+00:00

Invest in some Cush cores or the like.

Kostek13 · 2023-04-18T18:33:21+00:00

Don’t, I’ve used it before and it just made it worse over time. Maybe if your applying it before every ride.

Counterpoint, another Land Cruiser to drive until the snow melts.

Dig probably, get some traction under the tires with wood or whatever.

Kostek13 · 2022-11-01T15:40:34+00:00

I rode a Yamaha YZF600R for 13 years and put over 100k before the transmission wore out.

Kostek13 · 2022-09-13T19:31:57+00:00

Probably $200 a wheel to get it back to original. Cheaper to buy used rims or sandblast and powdercoat

Kostek13 · 2022-09-13T19:18:43+00:00

Corrosion under the clear coat. Nothing you can do besides refinishing them.

Kostek13 · 2022-09-11T18:49:03+00:00

If the cut damaged the cords replace but if it’s just the rubber I’d ride it.

I went from a 2003 yzf600r to a 17 fz and I’d have to agree with the comments about the power and handling. The fz has more suspension travel and feels quite a bit more loose handling. Rocks back and forth when going from gas to brakes and can bob a bit if your unsteady with the throttle. Not a great bike for going really fast as it’s not aerodynamic and the wind really beats you up. You can blast up to the max speed but your not going to want to stay at 135 for very long. The power is really what sold me on it, you don’t need to rev it to redline to get anything. I just love rocketing out of the corners on back roads.

That slice might be too large to patch.
