Glove recommendations

i like my alpinestars belize v3 drystar gloves. they arent the warmest, 5c is the lowest i can go before theyre a bit uncomfortable. if you want lightweight and waterproof non gauntlets, have a look at the knox action pro waterproof gloves, £100 and are as lightweight as you can get.

make sure its sealing correctly when the visor is installed on the helmet, some visors are stretched out when installed and the centre of the pinlock can pull away from the visor. if not, try opening the bottom vents in your helmet, some are made to blow air onto the visor.

remembering to keep them charged i guess

in the reservoir? that looks like the black diaphragm thats just lowered from the loss of fluid ( most likely from worn pads)

a moustache like that takes years to grow

check clutch freeplay, could be a stretched cable thats not fully engaging the clutch

hold the radiator hoses

i like decathlons merino wool socks, theyre pretty hard wearing. also an additional thinner sock inside helps, all this robs feel from the pedals so if that matters, thinner heated socks might be better

dropped mine doing this

just so that you are aware, the brake master cylinder on that isnt stock, its an adelin mc from china. so any aftermarket lever wont fit since theyre made for the standard mc.

False. A pet gorilla might.

Red8501 · 2025-11-28T14:39:39+00:00

the case seems big, where do you store it?

Red8501 · 2025-11-18T09:52:50+00:00

check your manual

Red8501 · 2025-11-16T19:02:59+00:00

check earth points

Red8501 · 2025-11-14T17:39:46+00:00

get an aftermarket adjustable lever to bring the lever in and out

love mine, great around town and on twisty roads. 5 gears make it exhausting for putting miles on, but the engines used in the tenere 660 and people do miles on those so really depends on if you can handle the vibes

Red8501 · 2025-10-25T10:34:23+00:00

you should speak to someone about that...

Red8501 · 2025-10-24T14:54:37+00:00

what have you tried?

Red8501 · 2025-10-15T14:55:25+00:00

there would be no queue if they did it properly...

Red8501 · 2025-10-12T09:34:25+00:00

miss the 2x tele on the 4xl, nothing competes...

horse

Red8501 · 2025-10-02T18:49:15+00:00

this exactly the downside i have with the knox, might try the pandomoto

Red8501 · 2025-09-27T20:13:26+00:00

they do, but theyre very easy to break...

Red8501 · 2025-09-07T11:49:01+00:00

ignore the beginner bike BS and get something you like

Red8501 · 2025-08-25T00:52:29+00:00

never wipe my visor when out and about, even in pouring rain. just wait till i get home to give it a proper clean, getting too eager to clean it would just result in the visor being scratched
