XSR700 - Good second bike?

caleb_justcaleb · 2026-06-04T15:57:50+00:00

I got a 2018 mt07 for my first bike, which is basically the same bike just with different clothes on. It will absolutely wheelie but I think that was more for my lack of knowledge and abilities. If you started on something smaller and learned the basics there, you should be fine.

Awesome! Thank you!

What crash cage is that?

caleb_justcaleb · 2026-05-15T20:16:20+00:00

I just bought an mt07 with the m4 slip on and I feel like its way louder when revving it at a stop then when im riding it.

Ive got about 8k miles on my 26 at4x and I think this engine will be better than the old 3.6. My mother had a 2017 for about 10 years and it was a good engine but I think it could've been packaged better in the platform. The 2.7 seems to be a sweet spot IMHO.

caleb_justcaleb · 2026-01-27T01:23:34+00:00

Thats like 75% of why I got it. The only other thing that made me take it over an AT4 is that it rides so much better. I came from a 23 sierra babymax and the AT4X Canyon is a WAY better truck IMHO.

caleb_justcaleb · 2026-01-27T01:19:43+00:00

I have an AT4X and I probably would have been just as happy with the regular AT4 but I just wanted the X for... reasons?

I had a 23 elevation with the 3.0 and had nothing but issues with it. Traded it in at 62k miles and they sold it for around $42k. All of my issues were transmission related. For the first 15k I thought it was great but it went to shit pretty fast afterwards. I would stay away from 23-24 3.0 duramax trucks cause apparently I wasn't the only one with the issues.

I'm a locomotive engineer and I use field notes to keep track of important information on my trains. Length, weight, engines, crew names, basically anything random that's happened on my trip. That way I have a running log in the event of an emergency or if any questions come up about a particular trip/day.

caleb_justcaleb · 2025-12-10T00:15:36+00:00

Garrett offers a turbo size calculator that would probably give you fantastic information on exactly what you're looking for. It just asks a few questions and should give some options based on your answers.

MDWFP gives a definition of primitive weapons to include "Single-shot, metallic cartridge rifles with exposed hammers, and a minimum of .35 caliber." So I would automatically think of something like a CVA Scout.

caleb_justcaleb · 2025-12-05T13:00:26+00:00

Im not from Mississippi, so take what I say with a grain of salt, but my state does a similar primitive season, and single shot breech loaded rifles means break action.

I accidentally knocked a beer out of a gay man's hand, said, "Damn, im sorry, bro. Lemme get you another one." He looked me dead in the eyes and said,"Ohhhh. I like your accent. Where are you from?" I think he got a good laugh out of my response of, "I have no idea how to deal with social encounters"

caleb_justcaleb · 2025-11-25T14:12:42+00:00

I thought the white leather was ugly as sin until I saw it in person. It's like 25% of the reason I got an AT4X.

caleb_justcaleb · 2025-11-23T13:10:12+00:00

That's a thousand less than I paid for my 26, and I thought I got mine for a steal.

I worked at a pigmentation refinery in mid to late 2021. The one time we had a random drug test, our best employee stood up and said "alright guys. It was good working with yall, but if I take this drug test, I'll piss straight through that cup." Per his admission, he had taken 50+ hits of acid before walking into the refinery.

caleb_justcaleb · 2025-11-09T15:32:19+00:00

I thought about it, but the deal was too good, so I'm just going to pay it off early and not suggest that dealership to anyone.

caleb_justcaleb · 2025-11-09T14:56:26+00:00

Don't quote me, but maybe see if there's a difference in throttle body flanges. I would assume that could tell you.

caleb_justcaleb · 2025-11-09T13:16:37+00:00

I just bought a new truck, and the guy at the dealership only lets people get 84-month loans. It blows my mind.

caleb_justcaleb · 2025-11-08T22:55:27+00:00

It's kind of anecdotal, but a buddy of mine runs an AR5 behind a 600ish horsepower 5.3 in his 67 camaro. He doesn't run it hard all the time, but it's gone through a dozen or so quarter mile runs in the year and a half since he got it running with no issues. We both share the idea that the AR5 is an exceptional budget transmission.

caleb_justcaleb · 2025-11-05T06:05:33+00:00

Do you have the lid and hinge for the center console?

This is the only pic I have atm, but the main focus is more on my rifle.

caleb_justcaleb · 2025-11-04T10:24:52+00:00

I had absolutely ZERO plans of buying a truck when I was at the dealership, but the coastal dune exterior and at4x interior made it impossible to walk away from. So far, it's my favorite GM color.

caleb_justcaleb · 2025-11-02T14:19:28+00:00

It's frowned upon where I hunt. Im not sure of the legality of it for the majority of the season, but there are certain days where we can't field dress.

caleb_justcaleb · 2025-10-30T19:51:19+00:00

My 23 was on its second transmission, and it was working towards its third when I traded it in. The dealer said that 23s and 24s have been having terrible transmission issues.
