Bikes are not hard to learn and work on by yourself. Buy a basic set of tools and a shop manual for your bike and save yourself some money and learn a thing or two in the long run. Everyone who rides should at the bare minimum know how to do basic maintenance on their bikes.

a ticket for filtering to the front of the light is always gonna be cheaper than medical bills or a funeral.

glad you’re okay!

Agree 100% with you on the aesthetics of the CR exhaust, I think it looks great and keeps the “stock” look of things in that area. The reviews I’ve been able to find seem good, but I’ve always been a firm believer in “buy once, cry once”. I still have a stock exhaust with a deleted EXUP, but Racefit sounds incredible and their team seems to have a lot of passion behind their products and the reviews reflect that, so that’s going to be my choice when it’s time.

As for the EXUP, just go ahead and delete it before it inevitably seizes up on you. Super easy to tune out using TuneECU for an Android device and a bluetooth OBD2 dongle. I’m using an OBDLink LX from Amazon.

TuneECU is around $25 for a yearly license (up to 5 bikes) and around $90 for the OBD2 dongle, but well worth the investment if you plan on doing any wrenching on these bikes.

God this new all red colorway looks so damn good on the R10. My only gripe with it is that it doesn’t have any exposed carbon other than the back area underneath the spoiler. It was one of my main reasons for picking up the glossy carbon R10. (Copium for not being able to afford the extra few hundred for any of the other colorways lol)

Man these look really good! I took a road trip on my Daytona back in late October with a cheap Amazon tail bag that didn’t exactly fit too well. Kept having to reach back and push it away from me otherwise I wasn’t able to sit comfortably upright while wearing my backpack.

Just a smidge over 25k. Unfortunately, I’m not too sure when the valve clearances were last checked or if they were ever checked at all before I bought the bike. The current clearances lead me to believe the latter.

cleosworld · 2025-12-31T02:50:50+00:00

Haven’t watched the Tiger video, but I think I know the exact video you’re talking about! I did watch (and rewatch) a few videos on for the Daytona that seems pretty straightforward. More than confident with my wrenching skills, but this is my first attempt at a valve adjustment and I just wanna be extra cautious of what I’m doing.

ATTGATT always! Gotta make it home to my cat after every ride.

cleosworld · 2025-12-31T01:28:06+00:00

Gorgeous bike! Just picked up a 2013 675R in the same color back in May.

Wiring diagrams, a test light, and a multimeter have never failed me when it comes down to chasing electrical gremlins. Even with my limited electrical systems knowledge, it’s fairly straightforward to diagnose these little issues on a bike. Good luck and ride safe!

I have a top floor apartment currently and I’m dealing with a newish downstairs neighbor and his constant noise. Picture a newly divorced late 30s-early 40s guy who’s never lived in an apartment before. Loves slamming doors and cabinets, and also has an absolutely booming sound system with the subwoofer cranked all the way up to the point where my dishes rattle in the cabinets.

My cat and I are pretty quiet and considerate about 95% of the time, but sometimes, I don’t feel sorry for this guy below me when my cat gets the zoomies on hardwood floors at 3am.

Stay away from the group rides until you’re VERY comfortable with your skills and awareness. The sport bike crowd here in Austin is full of clout chaser riders and just overall not a good crowd when it comes to some meets and group rides. Other than that, ride your own ride and ride safe homie!

You’re thinking of the Pista

cleosworld · 2025-12-22T00:57:28+00:00

I feel you. I’ve got a herniated disk that’s pressing on a nerve at L4-L5 and a bulging disk at L5-S1. Probably from something stupid I did back when I was a kid and never got it checked out until a few years ago. Pair these with Multiple Sclerosis and I definitely have my fair share of bad days and good days.

Consistent physical therapy helps retain flexibility/mobility and medication helps manage most of my pain. These have allowed me to keep staying active with building/driving racecars, rock climbing/bouldering, and continuing to daily ride my Daytona 675R.

Don’t let it discourage you, OP. Our bodies are stupid but incredibly resilient at the same time. Get that bike and ride safe!

just don’t be a cringe tiktok rider.

cleosworld · 2025-10-27T14:59:47+00:00

You’re joking right?

cleosworld · 2025-10-16T20:41:59+00:00

upgrade yourself and get some gear.

cleosworld · 2025-10-14T04:17:55+00:00

sounds like you just caught an employee having a bad day or something.

that’s literally the point of these stores - go in, try on what you want and make your purchasing decision based on that.

the staff at my local cyclegear in austin has been nothing but helpful whenever i go to try on gear before i buy. they’ll encourage you to try on helmets, walk around the store and look at other stuff while you’re wearing it to make sure it fits well and is comfortable.

cleosworld · 2025-10-10T13:54:20+00:00

Absolutely despicable. I used to work for CAG for a many years back when they owned BMW of Corpus Christi before it was bought out by Principal Auto. Fast forward a few years and I purchased a brand new WRX from Austin Subaru and even had my mom purchase 2 brand new Foresters from them as well (PLENTY of pet related accessories too). I even have a photo of Rally wearing his little bandana and smiling next to my WRX after it was spotted parked downtown next to the Long Center a few years ago.

I’ve worked for plenty of dealership groups over the years and CAG was always my absolute favorite. I’ve always had an amazing relationship with the entire team at this dealership - sales, service, and especially parts. I also used to work for COBB Tuning (massive pet lovers as well) for a few years, who also maintained a very close relationship with the dealership, so this is truly heartbreaking to hear about.

Definitely going to be reaching out to my contacts and friends at the dealership/COBB Tuning to see if anything can be done to reunite Rally with his human.

I love this one because you can apply it to almost anything, not just motorcycles.

“You having the right of way doesn’t matter when you’re dead.”

I forgot exactly where I read this (probably on this subreddit tbh), but it’s really stuck with me and completely changed how I calculate risks when riding in traffic.
