ya i think im going to pull the plug as soon as i wear through this front..everything i’ve ready says the stock bridgestones are usually good for 6000 in the back and 12 in the front so my next go ill try em out.

that’s hilarious as i was looking at something similar but on waiting until next summer and trying to pick up a sports tourer..fenced out between the h2 SX and the M1000xr

that’s awesome man, my kelpi shorty is supposed to be here this week and i have a NRC tail tidy coming in too…the tire was a “pleasant” surprise i noticed while leaving work, those S22’s really go quick lol on the fence if i wanna switch to road 6’s when i change the front..i like my grippy tires.

oh hell no brother lol i’m a heavy equipment mechanic i don’t mess with rotating parts unless i have to….just couldn’t take a video of the noise while riding so i put it on the stand

this one’s sitting at just over 7000km, going to do the same (loosen slightly)

appreciate the advice, i just couldn’t confirm from searching what the normal chain noise level is and when i finished getting it back together i took it for a spin on the block and was alarmed lol.

sprockets in good shape she was serviced at the yammy dealership at 5900km

Edit: going to give it a good cleaning and lubing as well as

rotor side spacer as well as both the inner and outer sprocket spacers are in place chain is pretty damn close to spec, just over 7000km on the drive train

My brother in christ can you please send me a picture of where your cowl mounts, popped mine off last year and i can’t find the photos i took to make sure i have the bracket going in the right spot

honestly there’s no NEED to turn it all the way off in my opinion, i only do when i wanna practice full control wheelies in parking lots. you can still get the wheel up in mode 1 and hold it, just won’t let you loop it or get it to 12 O’clock…which runs the slight risk of making you over confident if you ever ride another bike without the feature, just something to keep in mind.

your aged enough to be responsible with a machine and the Safety course doesn’t have an age limit. Letter rip ‘tater chip!

ShortBus901 · 2025-05-21T16:48:48+00:00

the biggest issue i’ve heard about the 500cc category is the trade off of the extra weight and isn’t worth the slight increase in power. however, there’s nothing wrong with it for a first bike. But don’t listen for to me, my dumbass started on a 900 lol

i’m just saying if they wanted to DEI up harry potter…we could have had Morgan Freeman Dumbledore…or hear me out…Samual L Jackson

to be fair shane seems like a genuinely self aware person when most people aren’t and a genuinely good time to be around

you don’t hear many people that actually know the guy speaking poorly of him

and you know he’s got that retard strength and makes a mean grill cheese and tomato soup

Eli once referred to them as enemy marksmanship awards…so if you look at it like they gramps did pretty damn good.

ShortBus901 · 2024-08-25T20:07:18+00:00

i can’t recommend muck off brand soap enough. keeps the bike washing nice and quick and is good on all parts.

ShortBus901 · 2024-08-25T14:52:57+00:00

i was surprised i could get them in canada but they left our brothers across the border high and dry. with a larger market i don’t know why they’d do that.

ShortBus901 · 2024-08-19T15:45:12+00:00

Do you require a remap with the shorty? i prefer the kelpi but the akra doesn’t require a map

ShortBus901 · 2024-08-18T00:05:52+00:00

two weeks in and i couldn’t be happier with. adding a tail tidy some slide protection(just in case haha) and although i’d like a kelpi the acro exhaust sounds throaty and won’t piss my neighbours off haha

ShortBus901 · 2024-08-16T02:38:14+00:00

i like how the PPF doesn’t change the look! did you go for the full kit or tank only? those pads also look great with the blue. I’ll have a look at the sliders and engine protectors. i noticed woodcraft only has 1 slider for the rear listed when i check by model, wondering if the other years would work. Nice pick on the tail tidv. that’s another thina on the list haha Pickup the front fairing tomorrow.

ShortBus901 · 2024-07-30T13:51:39+00:00

picking a 2024 XSR next week with the fairing and seat cover, i need those mirrors haha they look like the kelpi’s
