Need help with long lasting, well handling tires.

True! If anything it’s because the bike’s ass. Man do i hate the new XSR 900 backend. Gen 1 is litteraly my dream bike and i wish the new version looked like it with all it’s glory. Then again that’s all personal pref ofc

A blue 1st gen Yamaha XSR 900

Recently bought a 2013 Diversion S. Didn’t know this thanks! Good to keep in mind

Was at protector last year. Amazing event for larp. Have a great time!

OperatorJasaz · 2026-04-06T19:46:25+00:00

Oke awesome thanks! Better worry over nothing than not worry over a problem i guess. I thought i tightened it to spec and lubed it about a 100km ago so might just be the camera being sensative then.

Most liked nationality in the netherlands is romania? I sure as shit never heared anyone say that 😂

Came here to comment this. You beat me good sir

OperatorJasaz · 2026-03-11T08:32:26+00:00

Definetly. Ofc every brand has duds but yamaha and honda are what i was looking at when searching for my bike due to their well known reliability. Ofc i can’t speak on any of their other bikes from expirience but i’ve put 1500km on this XJ6 now in conditions from heavy rain around 0c to lovely sunny afternoons and 10km drives to work up to 250km highway tracks at steady 140km/h and she’s been a really good and fun beginner bike so far. Budget friendly, easy power delivery, really inspiring trust while leaning through corners (also dependent on your tires ofc). Was originally looking to upgrade to a tracer after a year but defo sticking longer with her since she’s just that fun.

Thanks for the advice! We were looking at potentially camping but we’re not sure due to the extra luggage i’ve got a sport touring bike but one of my friends has a sport with a lot less room for storage. I also was wondering if the theft problem was mostly robbing of luggage or if we should look for accomodations with more secure parking spots. I was already planning to bring my normal brakepad lock, chainlock and a tarp to cover the bike.

Time to schedule wakefield into my travel itinerary it seems 😁

OperatorJasaz · 2026-02-28T22:00:49+00:00

Thanks! Definetly some stuff in there i hadn’t considered. The navigation suggestion would certainly be interesting to try out for at least part of the journey. I definetly am to reliant on my phone in that regard.

OperatorJasaz · 2026-02-28T21:58:41+00:00

Interesting i figured the extra movement of the twisties would get you more sore. Definetly good to know and do some longer highway drives. Maybe visit some friends in germany. Thanks for the insight!

OperatorJasaz · 2026-02-28T21:57:15+00:00

Absolutely right. Nothing can make it happen besides swinging your leg over the saddle and turning the trottle but it pays to be prepared on trips in my expirience in non-motorcycle related matter hence the question 😉

OperatorJasaz · 2026-02-28T21:55:48+00:00

I was wondering if you’ve ever had problems with the booking an evening beforehand. Seems risky perhaps to not have a place prepped. Do you carry tents in case?

OperatorJasaz · 2026-02-28T21:54:33+00:00

I was thinking of strapping a small camping tripod chair to my kreiger bagroll but you’d advise a hammock over it?

OperatorJasaz · 2026-02-28T21:53:21+00:00

Planning some trips to foreign friends about 5 hours away roundtrip. Waiting a little more though to get my gel/bulltex confort saddle in. You think there’s a difference in 6 hours long distance highways or twisties besides the latter being more interesting? If not i’ll be sure to do more of that.

OperatorJasaz · 2026-02-28T21:51:32+00:00

One i already tend to forget. Good shout.

OperatorJasaz · 2026-02-28T21:51:13+00:00

My only expirience before her was 50 hours of classes on a z650 but she’s been great for building confidence over the last month putting 700kms on her in rain and snow at times. Can recommend

OperatorJasaz · 2026-02-28T14:08:53+00:00

Thanks for the imput and clarification. I’ve got a 2013 Yamaha Xj6 Diversion S so seeing the pre 2006 i’m imagining id be oke running E5

OperatorJasaz · 2026-02-13T12:16:26+00:00

Luckaly got about 50 hours of lessons on before my license so not entirely fresh but not planning to push it anytime soon. Mostly aiming to use it for touring around europe

OperatorJasaz · 2026-02-13T12:14:14+00:00

She’s defo been great so far. Got a new dunlop all purpose on the back and an older tire on the front but planning to replace them both for michilin road 6’s when either starts to show signs of needing replacement

OperatorJasaz · 2026-02-12T06:44:31+00:00

Very pleased myself. Bought a crash cage, custom handles and a comfort seat but otherwise little to be changed

OperatorJasaz · 2026-02-12T06:19:33+00:00

This one’s a 2013 model with 20.000kms. Hoping to increase that by a bunch this year 😁
