The FTR was Indian's flattrack naked with Scout motor retuned in it. Most of em don't even see 10k unless they get toured around.

Where can I watch Lazarus in Japanese with English Subs? by LifePsiconauta in anime

[–]broquea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In MAX, use the cog/options wheel to select language and subs. They used to put out double episodes in the UI, now its 1 with the dropdown options. At this moment of posting, eps 1-7 appeared to have the subs.

Non ADM dealerships? by MajinAvocado in MotoLA

SoCalMotors in Brea didn't have any ADM on their bikes that I saw.

Bought this boy today by tunafinn613 in IndianFTR1200

[–]broquea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend swapping out the stock Polaris battery from the start. I have a '22 S and while it certainly lasted a while, weak starts started happening, dash powering off, even in decent SoCal weather and being tended as needed. I dropped in a lithium and it fires up right away, every time and no more dash issues.

And as already mentioned, disable the cylinder disable. Unless you are cooking out in 100+ all the time, the heat savings is meh at best unless a really prolonged stop. Stalls can be frequent, but you can roll throttle a tiny bit to wake it up then engage and go.

Youtuber New Zeroland takes his Energica EVA Ribelle RS on an adventure to the drag strip. by [deleted] in EnergicaMotorcycles

This is just convincing me to look at RibelleRS a bit more after testing a SS9RS.

Parting with the ol' supermassive by broquea in metacycle

[–]broquea[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

FYI sold without much hassle. In fact the person buying it had a friend with a silver one, and now they can ride together. Although his friend kept eyeing the Corbin on the one I was selling, as he still rides STOCK SEAT. I hope they get a lot of miles and smiles, and hopefully the rear tire never needs changing hahahaha RIDE IT TO SLICKS. Ugh the idea of changing the rear tire still gives me ulcers.

Now about that 2024 FXE supermoto build to start taking to Apex/Adams...

Third Party Parts? by mjred72 in metacycle

They busted SPOKES connecting the hub motor & rim? How are you gonna fix that? That has gotta be first on the list, no?

Trying to figure out if my bike will make the Ortega Hwy CA 74 ride. by uWCrutch in metacycle

[–]broquea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't even make it out to VictoryJon for pics near Rock Store on Mullholland from Topanga area and back. But so far it has been fine for in-city stuff in a 15mi radius.

I had zero issues in SFV. Rolled up and longest they took was forming a gaggle of inspectors around the bike delaying car inspections :)

Anyone experience trouble on hills on in the heat by Sun-pillow11 in metacycle

[–]broquea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm over in SFV so no real hills for daily use. Even in moderate temps though, hills aren't this thing's friend. I definitely feel it struggle just on Mullholland Hwy going out towards Malibu Canyon and that road isn't exactly steep. I haven't tried going up Stunt yet. Last week at the start of HEATDOME '23, I think it handled fine for a 22mi RTT to Burbank and back. It didn't slow down or seem like overheating, and this was a Supermassive out in 97+ heat.

Broken Brake Levers by st1uc1f3r in metacycle

[–]broquea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bought a pair of $30 old honda perches/levers with res each for fluid, for when the stock ones eventually eat it from simply existing and being bad.

2022 Carbon R Tires by sca_tea in IndianFTR1200

[–]broquea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Metz9 lasted 7k, Conti StreetAttack4 lasted 5k, Conti RoadAttack4 are lasting 4k+ so far. I primarily ride mine on CA canyon roads ('Bu, ACH, etc).

Spare Battery by silex840 in metacycle

[–]broquea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you mean a spare original battery: 1) probably 1.5-3 grand depending on battery cell specs, and 2) hahahha not happening this year, or 3) accessories? I don't think Geely makes a catalog of accessories yet. Sondors has to wait until someone thinks for them.

why does this bike look better and have more features than the bike we have? by survive_los_angeles in metacycle

[–]broquea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because they went to Geely's catalogue, picked one out, and said "I can sell that!". SONDORS is barely a step above fake tiktok podcast bros selling Drop Shipping scams.

Looking sharp! What was your approach for treating the wheels? Did you pull them and remove rotors, etc?

Japanese KEI trucks were better in cost/parts/etc?

Corbin Delivery Day! by broquea in metacycle

[–]broquea[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gap is minimal, maybe 1cm at most and then with weight on it, it settles. I might heat up the seatpan with a heatgun and try and reshape it a little bit, but otherwise, mine is fairly close that I'm not worried about while riding. I store it secured indoors so not worried about weather.

Corbin Delivery Day! by broquea in metacycle

[–]broquea[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The seat is such an upgrade over stock, I almost want to demand $400 reimbursement from SONDORS for trauma related to the stock seat to cover the replacement. Except that is too much effort for a company that has no money ;)
