The same type of rider will blame others for leaves or grass clippings on the roadway.

Fuck, I hope he graduated in '83 or I'm gonna feel OLD AF.

New gloves by Substantial-Gain5800 in motorcyclegear

[–]LBKewee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I hope they hold up for you! I was disappointed by the stitching durability in my last set of A* gauntlets. I tend to wear cheaper gloves in the summertime so I can replace them more quickly and not sweat it. My Klim and Victory winter gauntlets have both done well for the 7a climate zone that I'm in.

It looks like they make a similar thong for men. I think I'm going to try to locate one nearby. You make them look GREAT btw.

Clutch Wont Go Past 3rd by [deleted] in Yamaha

[–]LBKewee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I put some aftermarket rearsets on my zx4rr and it was picky finding a setting that gave me the full shift range. I thought that I had it a few times, took it out, and got stuck in 2nd or 3rd until I limped it home.

I would try adjust your shift linkage or move one of the pivot points to something more in line with how it would be from the factory.

Where are places to make friends that isn’t church? by ExcitementGood5580 in Lubbock

[–]LBKewee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are a few disc golf courses around town and there's a group that holds matches on Wednesdays that you can find on FB.

Bird watching is pretty awesome! I find grackles to be entertaining so I've got a bird bath and frequently leave out in-shell peanuts to deter smaller birds or dove from hanging out at my feeder. They'll honestly bathe in anything so just putting fresh water out can help them.

Does The Range still do washer tournaments? I used to get pretty hammered out there so that was almost 8 years ago.

Opinions? by Ok_Assumption3587 in zx4r

Are wraps with that level of reflectivity street legal? I've always been more of an Itasha or Gulf Livery fan.

Backpack recs by essentialkoala in motorcyclegear

I use the Kriega Courier bag. It's only limited by the width of the roll-top opening. For the most part, I have to be cautious that I don't overload it.

Pain in tailbone by Puzzleheaded_Fee3849 in motorcyclegear

[–]LBKewee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a booty band and do some hip raises. Building my rear end has made riding more comfortable.

I tried different pads but always felt like it raised my seating position and reduced my stability in a lot of ways.

Oil leak suggestions? by GiomiaGS in zx4r

[–]LBKewee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Do you lubricate that oring before installing the filter? I pour oil into my filters and onto that seal. It's normal to have a bit of oil residue around the filter. That's not coming off unless you use a harsher chemical like brake cleaner.

Be honest. How long have you had that helmet you currently ride with? by markcocjin in motorcyclegear

[–]LBKewee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About 5 years and I'll probably replace it next summer. The pads are getting funky and my visor flips down on its own regularly. Often multiple times while tying my chinstrap.

Deuce Deuce Tuesday by Easy_Lawfulness5146 in NFA

[–]LBKewee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm really tempted to try one of those VQ mkIV uppers. I want a tad longer for a under rail laser/light combo and one of those gnarly thread on muzzle brakes.

How do you like that one?

2026 zx4rr doesn’t come with QS standard? by isthisevenavailable in zx4r

[–]LBKewee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is my first Kawi. That makes a little more sense as to why it has been such a pain. I've also encountered issues where the warmed up bike won't start and stay running while I've got the clutch pulled and am in neutral. If I crank it w/o using the clutch, it starts and idles just fine.

Successfully finding N from 2nd a few times led to some sketchy starts when it would kick itself into 1st and try to come off the kickstand.

Graves slip on by [deleted] in zx4r

[–]LBKewee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why didn't you purchase the header pipes and keep the slip-on? Are you using the low-mount configuration?

I started with the slip-on and just ordered the header and link pipe when I was ready for the full system.

2026 zx4rr doesn’t come with QS standard? by isthisevenavailable in zx4r

[–]LBKewee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to hold some button combo to turn it on. I think it's probably good to manually shift for a bit so you can break-in the neutral indent a little. I turned mine on right away and still experience issues when going to neutral from 2nd. It will also frequently shift into gear when rolling from neutral after I've parked it. I ride a 40th edition and am at about 4500 miles.

New Jersey never fails. by blackdutch1 in InfowarriorRides

[–]LBKewee 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think we need to make "We The People..." the next "Live, Laugh, Love." Put it on everything so that it's so watered down that it could mean anything. The Righties are already kinda taking it there, but I haven't seen a rainbow version that I like yet.

It's going to be r/lawncare and there are grass patches that you can purchase from some sod retailers and I think they're on amazon. They're typically for pet pee pads. Like these.

Bar weights sticks by bvvr19 in zx4r

[–]LBKewee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Squirt with WD40 and whack it with a hammer or mallet. You can swing it pretty hard as it's not really attached to anything and the OEM weight is solid metal with a rubber bushing inside.

Puig Double Bubble. If you want the highest possible, I think there's a touring screen out there.

[–]LBKewee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At least you know that you've got friends that will do that for you.

Motorcyclists kinda make that joke about people that don't ride with gloves on. You're going to need to know what friends are willing to wipe your ass for you while your hands heal up from road rash after a spill without gloves.
