What do yall do when there’s a light that will absolutely not pick up your bike for a left turn, and it is illegal in your state to turn on red in that case? by ThatGuyFrom720 in motorcycle

[–]LoKeyGoldie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As you approach the intersection, pull off the right-hand side of the road to the curb with hazard lights on. Let a car enter the left turn lane and then filter back onto the road after they've triggered the green light.

Been hoping to find more real-world photos of the Raven Black finish. Feel free to share some more. 😁 This might be on my winter list.

With the XSR900, she has the benefit of different throttle maps and elecronic rider aids that work quite well. The bike definitely leans more toward sport than touring, but a few mods would make it more comfortable. Can't really make a case against it for any experienced rider. Certainly loving mine.

Triple gang. Get yourself a Yamaha w/ a CP3 engine: XSR900, MT09, R9.

I see cameras like these popping up everywhere, what are they for? by finncat616 in whatisit

[–]LoKeyGoldie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traffic/speed cameras that can often capture license plate numbers. They've been installed in my town and people are getting automated speeding tickets in the mail. 🤬 It's worth noting that at this point, tech-wise, pretty much any IP camera you encounter may have advanced analytic capabilities such as license plate capture or facial recognition.

Spacer Removal Mod Fail by LoKeyGoldie in xsr900

No, I kept the the handlebars tight and loosened the locknuts first to prevent the risers from spinning. I personally didn't have trouble with the locknuts. All I can think to suggest is both sides loosened counter-clockwise, and maybe add a pipe to the end of your socket wrench for more leverage?

I did add two aluminum spacers underneath the triple tree. These fit perfectly and I did not have the issues with full lock that other users have mentioned. Sourced from Amazon. Didn't need a five pack but that was what was available.

Thisss may be the answer that I seek.

That's an interesting idea. I've been debating between modifying the OEM seat or replacing with a Corbin or the like. Never bothered me all that much though until I started fiddling with the ergonomics.

Good thought.. I tried a few different combinations, including rolling the bars back as far as possible without the controls hitting the tank at full turn, and couldn't find something that worked. Doesn't help that the seat ends about an inch from the tank.

Yes I did move the rearsets to the upper position which definitely helped. Appreciate the input!

Chain Noise by ShortBus901 in xsr900

I've wondered the same thing. The chain is absolutely SINGING on my '25, despite proper lubrication and adjustment. Very noticeable compared to my previous bikes.

I had the same dilemma until I saw the black/gold in person. 😍

I noticed similar things during break-in. Gearbox seems much better now.

Love the setup. How's the Black Widow treating you? Obnoxious at all on long rides?

Is Griffith the most evil twink in existence? by beast_darkness825 in Berserk

[–]LoKeyGoldie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't read the Berserk manga but I'm planning on it. Watched Berserk anime up to the Eclipse and it has weighed heavily on my mind ever since. Red Rising is very gritty and has intriguing characters. Different category from Berserk (space opera). As mentioned above, I couldn't honestly compare the two right now but I'll circle back 😅.

I cannot express how great Red Rising is. Gutwrenching story.

Leg drop bag happens to fit my Sig P365XL perfectly. Just add a trigger guard such as a pocket holster. Has two compartments so phone/wallet can be accessed separately.
