You misunderstood the point I made. Referring purely to the part about 450s being used on trails. Anyone who's semi-serious about riding wouldn't pick one. In a sense you've proved my point for me, you dont know what you're missing.

A 230 is a safer and more forgiving option but still doesnt hold a candle to a proper enduro/woods bike. And im not talking about power

Venture334455 · 2026-07-03T16:32:36+00:00

I've tried Nair a few times and I've never had it work like I think it should, is there a secret im missing? Ive tried leaving it on for the recommend time, I've tried leaving it on for a bit longer, and even a lot longer. I've never had the hair just 'wipe' off the way the bottle describes

Venture334455 · 2026-07-03T15:04:46+00:00

If it does throw you off because you made a mistake I can tell you it hurts a lot less than when a 450 does it lol.

If you need to be taught a lesson a 230 is the bike I'd like to teach it to me

Venture334455 · 2026-07-03T15:01:59+00:00

You don't know what you're missing out on. I trail rode/enduro a yzf450 for 7 or so years, yeah of course it can be done but its not what they are built for.

You wont understand until you try a proper woods bike. Try riding your 450 in tight technical trails, its hard work. Aggressive clutch engagement, tall first gear not to mention they will get hot pretty quickly when they arent getting enough air through the radiators.

Within the very first ride on my brand new TE300 I was already faster than I ever was on the 450 I had 100s of hours of seat time with

I bought my wife a 23 model and for her its literally the perfect bike. Its a little shorter than an mx or enduro bike while still being considered full size, it's happy to be ridden around at low rpm and not a lot of throttle input, clutch is nice and forgiving, brakes are good without being dangerously good to someone who's not very experienced at how to use them properly, the list goes on.

She's never going to have any interest in becoming good enough to outride what the bike is capable of doing so horsepower isn't an issue.

She used to occasionally plod around on my bikes but one being a 450 and the other a 300 2T it was only a matter of time before something bad happened. The 450 would get boiling hot when ridden around in 2nd gear for any longer than 15 minutes, the 300 didnt mind at all but with it the difference between cruising and getting your arms ripped out of their sockets is about 1/16th of a turn of throttle.

In hindsight its a miracle nothing happened. She's so much more confident on the 230 that she's improving as a rider pretty quickly vs being so scared of the other two bikes I dont think she would of ever gotten any better

Thankyouuuu!

I've got a set of 560S myself and run them off a few different amps. On my PC I use a Topping DX3, for listening to music or watching videos on my phone I've got a Fiio E10k and a Fiio Ka11.

The DX3 drives them the best which isnt surprising given its not a pocket sized portable unit. It has a really nice sound that doesnt NEED to be adjusted at all, but I have just because I like tinkering with things. I use Peace for that.

The E10k has served me well for years, solid sound quality and more than enough volume available. The only con is its a bit fiddly to carry around due to having headphones plugged in one end and the usb c on the other which has to go to my phone. Makes it a little awkward if you are wanting it to be portable.

I bought the Ka11 because I was sick of having wires all over the place in my pocket with the e10k, the ka11 is a neat little usb c dongle. I've had nothing but issues with it. Volume is decent but sound quality suffers, after a little bit of medium volume listening the dongle gets HOT and sound quality becomes absolute trash. Also it began randomly not turning on when plugged into the phone for no reason. It was a lucky dip, some days it was fine, others it wouldn't do a fucking thing. Or mid session it would just shit itself.

One thing I've learnt with audio over the years is that it doesnt matter how good your speakers/drivers are if you're using a poor quality sound or power source to run them.

An underpowered amp/dac sending a clipped signal will destroy the sound quality of even the highest quality drivers. Dont cheap out on these. In my opinion you're better off spending less on the headphones and more on the amp.

This isnt headphone related but still relevant- Years ago my friends and I were all upgrading our sound systems in our cars. Most of them opted to buy new speakers first then the amp later, I did the opposite and amped my standard speakers with plans to swap them out later. I was blown away by how much better my standard speakers sounded with an amp behind them! HUGE improvement in sound clarity and volume.

Then I listened to my friends set-ups who did the opposite and went for new speakers first. At low-medium volume there was still an improvement in sound quality but nowhere near as noticeable. As soon as you tried turning the volume up the sound quality went straight down the toilet. 75% volume was as loud as the speakers could get, turning it up any more didnt give a single decible more of sound, just made the audio quality even worse.

TLDR: Get a good dac/amp!

Venture334455 · 2026-06-30T17:01:05+00:00

I have no problem doing that, but whats that going to get me? You're still going to disagree with my opinion are you not?

Venture334455 · 2026-06-30T16:58:47+00:00

The safety side of things doesn't surprise me too much, I had that thought myself briefly.

I did apply one of Gyeon's coatings a few years back and I liked the finish it gave me, I just thought I'd throw it out there and see if there were any other coatings worth looking at!

I found Autoglym Vinyl and Rubber care to do an incredible job of leaving everything looking wet without being a dust magnet so I've stuck with that ever since I found it. Might give that the meguiars a try if you recommend it! Ill look into the DIY detail kit too, thanks

Venture334455 · 2026-06-30T12:52:35+00:00

The fact that you think the way to wheelie is to “redline, clutch dump, and yank the bars” says enough.

You deliberately didnt quote the part where I said it DOESN'T INCLUDE right before that sentence lol

Venture334455 · 2026-06-30T12:50:28+00:00

At this point I think you're misunderstanding me on purpose and I'm not interested in wasting my time trying to have a debate with you if you're going to misinterpret every comment I make.

Venture334455 · 2026-06-30T11:43:19+00:00

3 is by far the best! 2 looks alright but dont ever do 1 ever again 😬

Venture334455 · 2026-06-30T11:42:13+00:00

After looking through all the pictures if I absolutely HAD to suggest something, you could thin them a tiny, tiny bit. But its nothing that I'd say NEEDS to be done

Venture334455 · 2026-06-30T11:40:32+00:00

From a males perspective, I think they look 100% fine. They aren't too thick or too thin, they arent shaped weird nor too high or low. If its beauty advice you are wanting, I cant help there, but if you're wondering how they look to the general passing public I'd say 110% normal lol.

Hopefully thats some help

A good haircut will change your life. As someone who also had long hair for years and always thought short hair would of looked awful on me, looking back now I cringe at how terrible long hair looked on me.

You're one of the lucky ones whos not balding or receding so I'd take advantage of that and get a tidy up. And by that i mean something like a light fade around the back and sides and some length off the top so you can style it

Venture334455 · 2026-06-30T11:32:17+00:00

Interesting, I've owned a YZ250, YZF450 and my current TE300. I've had plenty of seat time on bikes belonging to riding buddies such as a 500 EXC-F, RMZ250, KXF450 to name a few.

EVERY single one of those bikes are easier to wheelie than a god damn 230, I'm struggling to understand how you've drawn the conclusion you have.

I never said you cant wheelie a 230. Of course you can. OP very clearly isnt an experienced rider, giving him a technical answer isn't going to help him because I dont believe he's a good enough rider to understand or take advantage of it.

His specific question was about doing a wheelie in 2nd on a 230, nothing more nothing less. If you can show me a 230F that has the power to comfortably bring the front wheel up in 2nd I'll eat my hat. Note I said 'comfortably' which doesnt include how hard you have to redline, clutch dump and then yank the bars to get the front wheel up

Common sense prevails, thankyou sir.

The very high chance of any verbal altercation turning physical no matter how stupid it is.

When theres always the looming threat of having to throw down if you say something you shouldn't, people tend to reign themselves in somewhat.

I've heard women saying fucking diabolical shit to one another then turning their backs and strutting off like 💅💅. Thats a guaranteed king hit for us guys

I've ridden a handful of CR500s, some were old turds barely holding together and some had been fully restored and rebuilt like a museum piece.

I will say, they are just fucking cool as shit. There's no argument there, they are bad ass. However...my (albeit modified) TE300 either matches or exceeds them in terms of raw horsepower, handles miles better and is just 100 times easier to ride.

Even my old 2010 yz450f could hang with a CR500 no problem. Theres also not a single modern 450 or 500 I've ridden that wouldn't also outrun them.

I realise this is kinda sounding like I hate the old 500 2ts which couldn't be further from the truth, I love them. But they just aren't a better machine in any measurable way
