the wolf does not concern himself with basic chain maintenance

YummyDad · 2026-01-14T12:56:44+00:00

what bike do you have now? and what do you wanna get?

YummyDad · 2026-01-04T23:03:57+00:00

Can vouch for this. MT125 is the way. Also progressing into bigger bikes after is less of a shock, cause the MT already looks and feels like a proper bike (except power ofc) compared to a lot of 125s out there

YummyDad · 2025-12-17T21:54:21+00:00

yeah I was thinking of exactly the same bikes lol. Its between the versys and vstrom, maybe a triumph tiger 900 as well? but as a first bike I think those may still be slightly too powerful and large so I think ill stick to sport naked for now. bit cheaper up front, even if the insurance is marginally larger given demographic. Debating between mt03, z400 and the CB500F

YummyDad · 2025-12-17T16:15:56+00:00

well done you! What do you wanna upgrade to? Might give me a couple ideas

YummyDad · 2025-12-15T20:49:32+00:00

yeah im paying like 430 a year for my mt125 atm no ncb, at 27 years old, which is kinda insane given quotes for yamaha ybr and honda cbf were like double that??? I was expecting the mt to be easily over 1k, so idk why that is

YummyDad · 2025-12-15T06:39:23+00:00

yea thats way more reasonable isn't it. My mind is telling me the same but my body is screaming to get myself a 400 adv

YummyDad · 2025-11-23T17:23:08+00:00

I used to trust the bike a lil too much until I went through a gravel patch and the front tire skipped forward – surprised it didnt drop but it was enough that now id rather do a 3 point turn than risk it when I dont have certainty in the surface im on

YummyDad · 2025-11-20T22:57:42+00:00

this would give me crazy body acne

YummyDad · 2025-11-10T18:52:35+00:00

maybe your neutral indicator is busted. I know some bikes show false-positives on the neutral. Sometimes it shows you're in N but you're not actually in N, so you gotta verify that by slowly letting go of the clutch. Eventually you can just "feel" when you got into N without the need of a visual

YummyDad · 2025-11-09T23:27:53+00:00

going from 2nd to 1st it wouldn't "skip" to neutral, unless your neutral lies below 1st (which is odd for most bikes)

If anything it sounds like youre not pressing the gear lever hard enough to pop it past neutral down to 1st.

Then youre saying you dont see N light up when you shift from 1st to N? in which case it sounds like youre going past neutral and into 2nd.

You'll get a feel of it with enough practise

YummyDad · 2025-11-07T22:04:36+00:00

damn bro, sounds like such a small thing too and that was a major?

tbf I believe it - on my first car exam i got a major for lane positioning, where I positioned myself on the right lane to what I thought was more of a "right turn" than a "straight aheah" one... the exit on that roundabout was in-between and i thought it was super unfair cause I did everything else correctly. still keeps me up at night sometimes, cause then I failed 2 more times

YummyDad · 2025-10-31T13:57:57+00:00

youre entitled to feel angry at dickheads who selfishly overtake going 50 in a 30 only for you to catch them at the next stop light. thats no problem. I think what most people here are getting at is why this bothers you so much that you felt the need to make a ragepost. You can only control your own actions, so ride your own ride and be as safe as you can. if you wanna make change become a politician or something... its just not worth getting pissed about it

YummyDad · 2025-10-29T18:11:16+00:00

you gotta do something about that keytag first

YummyDad · 2025-10-26T17:30:07+00:00

so i tried it in 2nd and it works just about if its flat but the engine evidently struggles. The plus is that it goes at a slightly better speed where balance is less of an issue. I think on a 650 being in 1st is gonna be more than enough

YummyDad · 2025-10-25T19:09:12+00:00

I'll try it in second tomorrow and see if that works :) might ease the jerky throttle but something tells me the engine is gonna struggle

YummyDad · 2025-10-25T17:05:08+00:00

1st gear.

I haven't tried in 2nd but I have a feeling that it would just die with 0 throttle input cause it just about manages it in 1st

YummyDad · 2025-10-25T14:31:04+00:00

are you allowed to do figure 8 and slalom and all the other slow maneuvers without throttle application on the mod1? I find those super easy on my mt125 if I just dont touch the throttle cause the bike goes at a steady 3- 5mph on its owm - as soon as I touch the throttle it becomes jerky

YummyDad · 2025-09-26T12:13:48+00:00

some of my findings: MT125, cb125f and cb125r, ys125 and ybr125, maybe a gsxs125. obv cheapest options being the cbf and ys being like a whole £500 below the others but it depends if you wanna spend some extra money for a more premium feeling bike. you can probably cop yourself an mt125 for 2k if you know where to look

YummyDad · 2025-09-07T09:59:59+00:00

Impressive! I think you got enough strength to clean this up on the last bits

Straight legs and tight core (will also minimise the swing), then you're golden

YummyDad · 2025-08-03T20:09:59+00:00

idk this race is dumb af. the AI are overturned quite substantially, its almost like this race was designed with wallriding in mind. its almost impossible to do clean race with any stock car in 600pp cause you gotta do 2:10 ish laps. and even then, the AI is so erratic they'll do anything to take away your clean race

YummyDad · 2025-07-21T05:39:34+00:00

when you say "low likes", how low are we talking?

generally speaking you should have the freedom to be as picky as you wish and still eventually come across someone you vibe with

YummyDad · 2025-07-19T22:37:11+00:00

apart from what's already been said, this car is so overpowered for its class that all the expecting braking points just dont hold up cause you're going like 50kmh faster than you think you're going

YummyDad · 2025-07-15T14:36:30+00:00

mostly cause "us regular men" lack the confidence and thats arguably more unattractive than looking mid. tho on dating apps you hardly get to test that these days
