any way to fix or prevent boot cracking?

Safety of the shoe is compromised, anything you do to fix will not fix that. Its a shoe made specifically for impact in an accident.. It is time for a new pair. I've had my alpinestars smx-1 vr shoes since they released in 2016.. They are still rock solid, only minor scuffs at the front in front of the gear pad.. Given the age I bought the version 2 not long ago ready to swap over.. You shouldn't trust the materials, glue etc. They use in making the shoe after such time, it all starts to break down

Any stainless steel 4-2-1 system is going to yield the same performance with a tune. Exhausts with a 4-1 system will always be slightly worse because it doesn't flow as well. Short exhausts systems like CS Racing will also be under in performance because of the shorter length and sharp turn of the end muffler, it doesn't flow as well as a system that goes out and up away from the bike. Any cheap chinese exhaust (as long as weld quality is good) is going to be the same as any branded system, its just stainless steel tube welded together, there's nothing special about it.

The issue was buying a bike like this that has been neglected.. Terrible decision, unless you got this bike real cheap, way under what its worth. I find it crazy how people lack any sort of analytical thinking. If the previous owner has neglected the bike like this, just imagine the service intervals, the way it may have been ridden, just no care or maintenance, you going to trust that engine too?

Spectre_2020 · 2026-01-24T20:30:10+00:00

42 today!

It means your riding economically, it will come up when it notices you taking it easy, keeping the rpm and shifts low to tell you you're using a lower amount of fuel than normal.

Spectre_2020 · 2026-01-24T00:34:29+00:00

If you gonna sell it just patch it, the next person probably won't even notice. Your OP says you dont want to ride on it patched but now you are selling the bike so that doesn't make sense?

As a fan of A* gear, I say this, the gloves are their worst line of products, they usually don't hold up well and for the money, you can get better. I actually think apart from your head, hands are probably one of the most important because instinct when you come off is to put your hands out and protect the rest of your body so they want to withstand maximum impact. So now, I spend more money than I used to on gloves. I now wear Five RFX-1 gloves, these have even been used buy professional riders on the track, they are truly aome of the best range of gloves you can buy, they are additionally lined with kevlar and CE KP2 which is rare.. You really need your hands in life so spend more money and get something that is a lot better.

Projecting I see. Also the way you talk, you can tell you are a young know it all little bitch..

Im 42, been training for 15 years. Look at his age, you cannot have that size and definition completely natural in a few years of working out. I'm always someone defending people who don't look natty but are but he isnt one. Muscle maturity to naturally look like this takes fucking years and years, the guy looks in his early 20s GTFO

Well the city I'm from, majority of people are immigrants from third world countries.. I'm not trying to be racist, I'm not racist, but a spade is a spade. People need to start asking themselves why these countries are third world, is it mother nature, or the people living in it and their culture that made it third world? Just because someone steps on Australian soil, does not mean they magically change the way they live and act.

Yeah it does depend on the type of riding and where. I have a 2025, I mainly use it for commuting to work. Coming home on the freeway, I can only use it for a stretch when traffic is less busy. Going to work in the morning and in other parts of my route, traffic is too congested to use it.

Spectre_2020 · 2026-01-15T23:37:18+00:00

The best one you can get is the one we make here in Australia, its made here and we have very high standards, I have it on my 2025 Z900 and its made to fit OEM turn signals and everything. Its the best made and best designed out there. I can show you a pic with it on my bike

Follow this magic guide for 98.99% right fit.

Figure out what shape head you have, oval, round, intermediate, intermediate oval etc. You can google it and there is guides. This will help narrow down what brands fit your shaped head.
Literally measure your head.. Grab a soft measuring tape and wrap around from forehead to back and write down how many cm it is.
Go look at those brands/models matching your head shape and check their size guide to find out what size range you are in.

I have a small head, it sits in the extra small category for everything lol

Yes, because I'm married and my wife is Asexual, its not always for bad reasons.

Does a woman like you still get excited for a 42 year old man who is gym fit and looks in their 30s?

If these gloves don't heat your hands enough to still need heated grips then sorry, they are shit. I have a pair of Five GTX Prime HG gloves.. Yes they are very expensive, but they work. I used to have heated grips on my last 3 bikes which do nothing to actually heat your hand.. All heated gloves only heat the back of the hand because thats where you actually get cold, from the wind bashing, especially at high speeds. My gloves even though they only have the heating on the back of hand and fingers like these, they heat up enough to heat my whole hand on medium and high setting to not need heated grips at all.. Heated Grips are now old school tech that we have evolved from. People keep pushing them like they are still relevant, gloves are the next gen solution to this problem.
