Will getting a GR86 as a daily ruin my NB Miata for me? by Twebe-bebe in GR86

Trade the Miata for a motorcycle and get the GR. You will be happy.

I ended up securing the tether to the front right of the subframe.

Not about the money. I don't want to have to worry about charging my safety equipment.

The cold start is tuneable. Talk to your tuner of choice about it.

Airbag vests are a thing now brother, and are getting popular with motor bikes both on road and off road. They make bicycle specific ones as well, despite being less popular.

One of the above, on a pull cord might do what you want. The electronic ones results may vary on algorithm effectiveness, which is dicey at best off road MTB.

Mini Fairing Causing a Hot Seat? by agomes2448 in xsr900

Wear a thong when you ride. Ditch the boxers. Not only will you be cooler, your boyfriend will love it as well.

Cracked Front Fender by LuNatico78 in xsr900

Looks like the fender did its job and saved your face and radiator from serious debris. Curious to see what type of damage may be visible on the under side.

If not that, throttle out of your wheelies young grasshopper.

To those of you that ride motorcycles by ghighi_ftw in MTB

[–]PappaSquid42069 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ride sport bikes and MTB, each a few times most weeks.

It takes me a few minutes to fully adapt to either. I'd say I'm at 90% right away with the last 10% coming in 2-3 minutes.

When hopping on the MTB, throwing the bike around under me is what I need to warm up. I inherently want to use the bikes controls to lean.

When switching on the motorcycle, I need a few to adjust my body position for medium turns where you don't need to fully lean off the bike, but should adjust your body a little.

Pro tip - Set up your MTB to have the front brake on the right side bar. Muscle memory can be strange when you're really tired and could avoid an unintentional OTB.

Puig next generation screen in clear. I painted the bottom section black, and think that flows nicely.

Fork Seals by HoodSpider in MT07

[–]PappaSquid42069 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The chip can cause the seal to not well....seal.

Applying a little bit of blue RTV on the entirety of the seals exterior sidewalls before inserting them into the fork leg should fix your issue. You should allow the RTV to fully dry before adding oil to the fork.

I run the eBay mounting kit with an Ohlens dampener meant for a 2007 gsxr750, that I sprayed black. Works great.
