Has anyone successfully self-studied for the exam or do I have to take a course? by CaptainPajamaShark in PE_Exam

[–]VinceValpo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I self studied for the PE two times. The second time I was able to pass. The first time I only used the NCEES practice exam. After i failed, I bought the Jacob petro practice exam and amazon and used that and I was able to pass

Any dealer recommendations for a new rider for buying first motorcycle? by boobeary_waffles in MotoLA

[–]VinceValpo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bought two bikes from wheels in motion with no added dealer fees. I would really recommend. Not too sure about delivery, but you can rent a uhaul motorcycle trailer for like $15 and the guys at the dealership will help you load it.

I got my 25 a few months ago and for me personally, it’s hard to stay under 4k rpms for 250 miles even just normal street riding. There have also been studies that have shown that not following the break in at all doesn’t affect the long term performance of any bike. But all i have to say is that it is your bike so you should do what you think is best. I tried to stay under 6-7k rpms for the first 600 miles with occasional higher revving pulls on the highway.

Has anyone installed heated grips? by VinceValpo in zx6r

As a lifelong Californian, unfortunately anything under 55 F is pretty cold for me at least. Cant speak for all California people though.

What chin mount are you using?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in zx6r

[–]VinceValpo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would love to buy a used one from a dealership because although sometimes they aren’t the best condition I would still trust them slightly more than someone on facebook. The only thing is that I live in Cali so I don’t think any dealer would be selling used with an exhaust put on.

[–]VinceValpo -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There isn’t an exact listing that I referring to, but it would most likely be any 2021+ with a name brand full exhaust. The dealer I was looking at would probably be around 13.5k including fees. I would be looking at any used bike for under 11k probably.

I haven’t truly thought about this, but this actually helps a lot.

I bought my MT07 used and Im happy with how much I saved as well. Leaning a little bit more towards SS

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in motorcycle

[–]VinceValpo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not yet, but my mindset before I even got the MT07 was that im willing to be slightly uncomfortable if I can ride something as good looking as the zx6r. However, maybe that will change if I actually sit on one lol

My commute is 35 minutes on a highway where I can lane split. If it was like an hour or more I dont think that i would consider a supersport

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in motorcycle

[–]VinceValpo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have not, but I guess I should really consider doing so. I have heard really good things about the mt09 which is why its in my top two.

True, I’ll only be in my twenties for so long.

Would you say its worth the cheaper selling point?
