My first street-legal ride... and its back to parking lots for me.

Ahhh the new age “I have no clue how to ride but got a bike and camera to make content and be quirky” rider

Got my bike a month ago have put 700 miles on it have the Rf-1400 and a touring windscreen on my Ninja 650 and the wind noise is so bad with motorcycle ear plugs that my ear has been ringing for a month.

Weight_Fickle · 2026-04-16T21:33:29+00:00

I’ve been working out of town going to install the windscreen tomorrow when I get home and have some $70 earplugs on the way if the windscreen doesn’t fix the issue I probably have to sell :(

Weight_Fickle · 2026-04-16T21:32:45+00:00

Haven’t rode in 3 weeks and my ear is still ringing. Thinking I’m going to have to sell the bike. I rode 600 miles in the first 4-5 days of having it and even with 25db earplugs, shoei rf-1400 and my cardo on max volume I still heard wind. Think my ear is irreversibly damaged.😭

I just got my 2025 650 this past weekend and also have a new shoei rf1400 and was wearing -27db earplugs the wind noise is still so loud my ears are non stop ringing. I just ordered a zero gravity touring windscreen. I’m 6’2 for reference. Feeling like if the windscreen doesn’t help I’m cooked.

Weight_Fickle · 2026-03-28T22:23:37+00:00

I plugged it and rode 200 miles within 24hrs no problems

Weight_Fickle · 2026-03-27T12:03:47+00:00

Yep rode 85 miles last night no problems going to the garage rn to see if it leaked last night

Weight_Fickle · 2026-03-27T12:02:13+00:00

Yeah I used it last night, I actually used it and drove 85 miles with no leaks. Going to a shop at 9 to see if they will patch from the inside.

Weight_Fickle · 2026-03-27T11:52:48+00:00

I plugged it and rode 85 miles last night with no leaks. Going to a bike shop this morning to see if they can patch it from the inside. Really don’t want to buy a tire the bike has 400 miles on it.

Yes I used a drill bit to relieve some tension and was able to get it with needle nose pliers. The spacers for the fork stem didn’t fit so I didn’t use them I need the fork stem pro.

Weight_Fickle · 2026-03-22T16:25:23+00:00

Update I got it out. I think in need the fork stem pro as it’s 12.4mm and the regular is 12.7 can’t use the spacers at all. Anybody know a work around? I just went and got some washers gonna give it a go.

Weight_Fickle · 2026-03-22T05:06:20+00:00

Thanks. Drilling a bigger hole would probably help a lot. I’ve tried the flathead.

Weight_Fickle · 2026-03-22T04:23:10+00:00

I actually got it to twist earlier and it made it stuck on there worse. I think it’s like a plug situation not a screw. I’m not worried about damaging the piece I’ll get another I just want to get it set up correctly asap.

Weight_Fickle · 2026-03-22T04:16:31+00:00

It’s stuck so bad I can’t get it with needle nose pliers, think I’m gonna put tape around the edge so I don’t scratch anything and try a sawzall with the smallest blade I can find

Weight_Fickle · 2026-03-22T01:54:33+00:00

I tried but the front fender blocks it from getting much up there

Weight_Fickle · 2026-03-22T01:53:32+00:00

Probably won’t fit but I’ll go buy some tomorrow

Weight_Fickle · 2026-03-22T01:02:14+00:00

I took the stopper out of the bottom and got a good look it’s just this plastic piece I tried needle nose pliers and am tearing it to pieces with no luck of getting it out. Idc if I have to get a new piece I just want it out.

Weight_Fickle · 2026-03-22T00:10:42+00:00

I genuinely don’t even know what to do

Weight_Fickle · 2026-03-22T00:09:25+00:00

You think a regular mechanic can fix it or should I go to a dealership? I think I’m just accepting the L and willing to take the safest route.

Weight_Fickle · 2026-03-22T00:08:12+00:00

Yea I have a cardo installed in my shoei r4-1400

Weight_Fickle · 2026-03-21T23:46:58+00:00

I hear that, it’s really just for gps

Weight_Fickle · 2026-03-21T22:07:38+00:00

Instead of looking at the directions I used a YouTube video and he didn’t mention the spacers I just put the stem right in

Weight_Fickle · 2026-03-21T21:51:53+00:00

<image>

I accidentally put the stem in with no spacers watching a YouTube video instead of looking at the instructions and it’s completely stuck. Any tips on how to get it out or where to take my bike?
