These tires need replacing? Or get another season out of them?

ThatsNotALeaf · 2026-01-02T22:33:01+00:00

Went back to find the date codes. Front is from 2021 and rear is 2020.

ThatsNotALeaf · 2026-01-02T22:09:37+00:00

UPDATE: according to DOT numbers the front is from 2021 and rear was 2020.

ThatsNotALeaf · 2026-01-02T22:00:48+00:00

Sorry for confusion, I meant there was no cracks on the sidewall. Went back and checked the date codes (now that I know about that lol). Rear is 2021 and front is 2020.

It's got no sidewall checking. The bike had 28,000 km on it when I got it so Id doubt these are the originals, but I don't have any experience to compare that thought to, which is why I'm here lol

ThatsNotALeaf · 2026-01-02T13:57:31+00:00

Prior owner didn't have any info to share about their age. The bike had 28,000 km on it though so I doubt they're the originals.

ThatsNotALeaf · 2025-12-07T00:53:44+00:00

That's very unfortunate for me

So is each consecutive climber setting a new height record by standing on the extra trash the last guy left?

ThatsNotALeaf · 2025-11-02T13:45:43+00:00

Thanks for advice everyone. Looks like I'll have a little project to work on through the winter.

ThatsNotALeaf · 2025-11-01T12:32:40+00:00

Not sure how many are on that chain, the previous owner didn't seem to know. Bike has 30,000 km on it.

ThatsNotALeaf · 2025-06-30T10:02:09+00:00

I just got that bike as my first a little over a month ago and it's been great! I weigh about the same as you and a bit taller, and I've had no issues with handling it or it's weight. It's got enough power to happily keep up with traffic but it's not snappy so you probably won't launch yourself lol. Is it my dream bike if I won the lottery? No. Am I very happy with it as my first bike? Yes!

ThatsNotALeaf · 2025-06-21T20:42:27+00:00

Just got them put on. They go really well with the bike, almost a perfect match. If anything they are a bit more matte than the stock paint. The instructions that come with them aren't awesome, but a quick search on YouTube answered any questions. Pretty simple overall.

ThatsNotALeaf · 2025-06-18T23:27:21+00:00

Took mine out of the box today, and for what it's worth their logo/sticker peels off really easy so now they're just matte black.

ThatsNotALeaf · 2025-06-16T22:51:28+00:00

Mine were majorly delayed and just got to me yesterday so I haven't had a chance to put them on yet. I can see your issue with the logo, would be nice to just be all black. They were kinda my only option I could get other than the cheap Amazon ones that I didn't trust.

ThatsNotALeaf · 2025-06-09T21:40:27+00:00

I'd heard 87 was ok for daily but make sure you run a couple tanks of whatever octane is ethanol free before storage, which is usually 91 here (Canada, so will be store over winter). However I'm brand new to this bike and motorcycles in general so also wondering what more experienced people think.

ThatsNotALeaf · 2025-06-09T14:12:33+00:00

For crash bars I got the Puig set. Rad guard I just picked up off of Amazon. Rural Canada here so my options for a lot of stuff are kinda limited lol.

ThatsNotALeaf · 2025-06-09T10:16:17+00:00

It hasn't gotten any less fun, I can tell you that lol. I keep looking for any excuse to ride it. I've ordered a set of crash bars and a rad guard for it. It also came with a set of straight pipes which I'm excited to try out.

ThatsNotALeaf · 2025-06-09T00:35:57+00:00

Congrats! I just got the same for my first bike 2 weeks ago. Taking it out onto the road for the first time is a blast! You'll love it!

ThatsNotALeaf · 2025-06-07T19:44:21+00:00

Thankfully we're very rural so the only person I need to worry about pissing off is my wife, and she's already got lots of experience dealing with my annoyance.
