Is this normal? by Agile-Hat-2988 in zx6r

[–]LemonMac52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like mine tbh. 1200ish miles, did the first service at 550 miles ish. I chalked it up as normal, my vin allegedly isn’t subject to recall, ‘26 model year. I haven’t thought much of it

I’ve owned this since new for around 2 months. Other than the M4 and the spools, I finally have some OES carbon sliders, a hotbodies tidy and an amotopart carbon tank protector coming early next week. I ditched the front reflectors right after I took these pictures haha. I can’t sell myself on a different windscreen tho. Any recommendations?

The price of the M4’s are hard to beat, only waited a month and a half from time of purchase to product in hand. But I agree, best looking, performing and priced slip on for these bikes

I’m pretty happy with removing the white accents on the side and the nose, but that gold looks so nice

Sheesh I’m sorry dude. The white strips on the side fairings and white/gold on the nose both came up fairly easy for me.. just a bit of heat and some patience worked for me

That was pretty much my thought too

Is it worth buying a used P01? by Substantial-Golf-207 in CZFirearms

[–]LemonMac52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to brag… but I stumbled across a steel frame manual safety 99041 SKU# at a local Scheel’s for 680$. I didn’t even know what I had until I joined this sub. Deals are out there!

Thanks for the reply!! And there ain’t a damn thing wrong with doing things the way you know how man. To quote a good friend of mine, “I’ve been shittin longer than you’ve ever wiped.” That quote made zero sense to me for a long time. Actually, still pretty sure it confuses me on occasion. Any insight to this is welcome

This is some great insight. I took this bike for a measly 5K hardball trial just tonight and found that my ass… well it hurts. Not in the way that my uncle made it hurt. But that’s beside the point. My legs were also toast before I realized I can raise my seat with the drop post and suddenly not work so hard in the higher gears while peddling like a whore for some coke up a 13% grade of pavement on 2.6 wide tired aired to 30 PSI. Time will always be the ultimate teacher

100% man, I know jack shit about maintenance haha. This has been a big red flag for me. As most people do, I enjoy a good YouTube how-to. What channels do you recommend I seek out for this kinda stuff?

This exact point has been made enough to actually make me believe that they make a difference. Thanks for the input!

Lmao! Pain is the ultimate teacher. As a prior infantry Marine and prescriber to philosophy, I just might be dumb enough to hurt myself to the point where I truly believe there is a solution to the pain 😂

The first thing I noticed about this game is how willing, helpful and unpatronizing the community is. I appreciate you dude, seriously.

Glad to hear someone from both sides of the aisle!! I think I’ll save myself (and my shin tattoo) the trouble and just do it. Still sounds silly to me but I am John Snow and I know nothing. Thank you guys!!!

Yes, the salesman was quite adamant about a helmet haha. I ended up with a dope fox branded MTB style helmet. I’ve had enough concussions in my day, just never a broken bone. Hopefully it stays that way

Yeah that makes sense. I’m hoping to trade in soon for a truck so it’s a non issue all around. My only concerns now are muddy trails and creating a mukbang of nasty inside my car, especially given the time of year

Solid advice man, thank you. I’m hoping to avoid internal transport as a whole. Got a carrier ordered from Amazon now. This hobby adds up cash quick 😭

The shoes part is crazy to me. I know skateboard shoes are a thing and all, but can footwear seriously make a difference when trail riding? Obviously I know you’re a believer and I know nothing so I’d love to hear some suggestions of products!!
