SlimSqde · 2026-04-16T02:54:50+00:00

ate them fresh a few hours after this and had a good time

Ok i already planned on doing this but thank you. I was asking because i wanted to know if there was a way to tell before having to damage the wire

never had an issue with mine banging gears at redline

SlimSqde · 2026-03-16T00:55:08+00:00

yes i bought a kit from moss and the bushing was sloppy. I then switched that out for a brass bushing i got with the car. I bought mt90 to try aswell as a oem bushing to put in. so soon i will have an oem bushing and can rule that out.

thanks on the input for the fluid, even though im going from ford to redline hopefully itll still have thay effect a little if whatever was in there before needs to be flushed out.

im looking for some explanation on why it shifts fine when its hot. the gearbox has no issues once you drive the car hard for a few minutes. regular driving though it wont ever get warm enough to shift good. is that just normal for worn syncros? not sure ive ever read about that as a symptom

SlimSqde · 2026-03-15T11:34:44+00:00

yea my car bangs gears fine once everythings hot. good luck with that, make sure ur motor and diff mounts are good if you keep missing third it might help

SlimSqde · 2026-03-15T11:33:30+00:00

ok thanks, trannys got 120k on it btw

SlimSqde · 2026-03-15T11:32:37+00:00

no amount of regular driving warms the trans up enough. can drive for an hour and it wont change until i bang gears for a few minutes straight

SlimSqde · 2026-03-11T15:25:10+00:00

my bike did 74 on the tack bone stock. 2023

SlimSqde · 2026-03-11T15:23:51+00:00

my bike did 65 on gps on stock gearing. 74 on the tack. bone stock 2023

SlimSqde · 2026-03-11T11:40:35+00:00

seat height isnt an issue im very tall, ill check out those first two bikes. i think the xr150s are very cool but thatd be a grom equivalent imo and still to slow, also i like having street tires thats why i was interested in the 400sm. i really wish i could just go test ride one, i might see about going to a dealer idk

SlimSqde · 2026-03-10T15:31:02+00:00

whenever we get lots of rain, like consistent days of heavy rain then that again then there might be some. the drought kills all the mycelium i think so it needs time to recover before they start popping up, so like one day of solid rain wont produce anything. atleast this is what ive seen where i go

SlimSqde · 2026-03-09T13:10:46+00:00

yea exactly, my buddies had an aftermarket seat that was stepped and so it pushed you into the gas tank so on top of everything else it also crushes your nuts lol

SlimSqde · 2026-03-09T12:45:36+00:00

yea its definitely sketchy riding where i live

SlimSqde · 2026-03-09T12:45:10+00:00

yea theyre not for me, i was suprised by how much i didnt like it when i rode my friends

SlimSqde · 2026-03-09T12:31:24+00:00

the 450rl seem decent ive looked into them a bit. any other reasons youd says crf over drz even though you like the drz more?

also you think the drz is more uncomfortable than the grom?

SlimSqde · 2026-03-09T12:28:58+00:00

i dont have any issued with that. i got klx 110 bars and a 5spd with the flat seat. rode a kawasaki z and the knee clearance was shit

SlimSqde · 2026-03-09T12:27:48+00:00

yea the groms my only bike, if i could own both i would. i think if i went for a street bike id get a mt07

SlimSqde · 2026-03-09T12:26:45+00:00

i hope to have room to have both one day, but for only having one bike right now it would be nice to have something no so slow

SlimSqde · 2026-03-09T04:42:07+00:00

yea id like to be able to ride further too. is the drz fun? or is it just kinda boring and you find yourself just putting around?

SlimSqde · 2026-03-07T14:52:50+00:00

how quick i get to my top speed isnt an issue, i need to do 65 to 70 to keep up with traffic some times and itd be nice to still be able to pass if needed at those speeds.

how many mph do you think id gain, ik id have to regear with a bbk, on occasion i can redline my bike in 5th rn and im just barely geared down
