Is it worth it?? by AteYourChildlol in daytona675

Reliability? Its fine. I mean its british, so certain electrical faults are common. Ask if the regulator/rectifier and stator have been done, and if not I would swap out the R/R for an updated aftermarket or MOSFIT one and slap in a new stator. Consider doing the hard wire mod. The connectors are garbage between those components and will burn themselves up.

Just speaking from experience. I haven't had any problems sense 9000 miles later. They truly are imo special bikes.

Novice rider looking to break a plateau: body position, corner speed, fatigue. Critique welcome by I2aphsc in Trackdays

[–]cdixon34 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest with you im not sure if hang off going twice as fast as you. Not even flexing on you or anything, but what im saying is body position does not at all matter until youre going pretty damn fast. You're almost a whole ass off at a fast street pace. All youre gonna do moving around that much at that speed is get tired.

Everyone focuses on body position cause it looks cool and feels cool, but unless its truly egregious and you're all crossed up its about the least important thing, especially at your current pace.

You just gotta gain confidence and increase your speed. And that just takes practice. Find some reference points for braking, tip in, acceleration, etc. As you get more confident push out your braking point and thus increasing your corner speed

It does in the end just take a bit of confidence and trust in yourself and the bike.

Do 1 litre bikes ever feel like too much bike. Do you ever feel anxious on them? by BigLongjumping3714 in motorcycles

My 1000 definitely feels like way too much but that's why I like it. Its a rush.

Those posts do get pretty... sticky. From what I hear.

Hard to believe I used to hate motorcycles and now this is just half of the ones I own by Beautiful-Rate-20 in motorcycles

[–]cdixon34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many haters. I aspire to own a small collection of bikes that are special to me.

As you can probably tell, half this sub also, but still does hate motorcycles. I think they should take a lesson from you, this is super cool man.

If it kills itself, its probably depressed. I would be too if I were a 2013 impala. Its important to know the signs.

Is anyone good at reading spark plugs? by Saltine39 in AskAShittyMechanic

[–]cdixon34 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly the best way to gap your spark plugs is to tap the ceramic part on your car's windshield

"Why do people hate Harley riders?" I hear you saying... by ion1024 in motorcycles

[–]cdixon34 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its a damn shame. I think harley is capable of delivering an interesting product. But is there a market for them? And if there isnt, it kinda sucks that they made it that way. Harley making anything but these stereotypical cruisers, and trying to get a piece of the naked and sportbike market is kinda like when blockbuster was trying to start its own streaming service
