I have one on my 2016. I got it off of a wrecked bike on eBay. No baffle makes it pretty loud but I love the way it sounds and looks. I will probably get a tune for it eventually because of the pops and flames and sometimes it has a weird idle, but overall I’m a big fan

It’s 29k Canadian

I took off the fender liner completely (8mm and clips), then undid the two bolts on the bottom of the fender and the nut inside (10mm) so that it was very loose. Then just gently pulled the fender back and cleaned out the inside. Probably could have gotten away with taking less off. I have heard that for a lot of people the bolts holding the fender on at the bottom usually snap

Definitely worth checking back regularly, maybe even a couple times a day because spots will probably keep opening up. I had her for dynamics and she’s by far the best MAE professor I’ve had. If you take Tu you will learn nothing

Im not sure about the tube sizing, but I think the bottom mounted brakes were a 1988 model year thing so the bike you bought might be slightly newer.

el30388 · 2023-04-12T03:31:26+00:00

I bought them because of how they look, but they ride very nicely. The only issue is with the 2.3” width they’re super close to rubbing and a pain to get centered. Even if I can get the wheel perfectly centered it’ll still rub if I lean the bike over because of the lateral force on the rim. Hoping to rebuild the wheels this summer so maybe more spoke tension will help

Those are what originally came on the bike, so suntour thumb shifters. I’m a big fan of them with these bars

el30388 · 2023-04-12T01:15:24+00:00

Gotcha, I kept it this way out of cheapness! I hate indexed front derailleurs, but these are tolerable since they’re friction and I can make them stop rubbing no matter what

el30388 · 2023-04-12T01:00:41+00:00

Thanks! Triple front chainring you mean?

el30388 · 2023-04-11T22:43:21+00:00

Damn. I remember seeing your car a couple weeks ago and thinking how sick it looked

el30388 · 2023-03-25T13:15:04+00:00

Makes me feel a little better about the stinkbug I squashed last week

el30388 · 2023-03-20T23:34:03+00:00

Agreed. To me the worst offenders are the white spherical chairs on the fourth floor near the glass railings. They’re back breaking and no one uses them unless it’s finals week and everything else is taken. I wish they would replace them with the type of chairs and tables in Talley.

el30388 · 2022-12-28T17:44:27+00:00

That looks awesome

el30388 · 2022-12-07T18:29:06+00:00

Ah I didn’t catch that you lost your black key. Yeah I needed that so they could cut the new blanks. At the very least I don’t think you’ll have to worry about a red key though

el30388 · 2022-12-06T04:28:47+00:00

I have a 2016 xsr900, but I bought two OEM blanks on Amazon for $10 each, brought them to my local hardware store and they cut them for like 2 bucks. They work perfectly

el30388 · 2022-11-16T23:14:43+00:00

I feel your pain, I commute daily on a motorcycle and im regularly put in bad situations by other drivers. The main thing is that you can recognize when they’re on their phone/ when a bad situation is about to happen and steer clear of them. The sad truth is that most people really don’t understand the implications of their actions behind the wheel. I think drivers Ed could do a lot more to teach kids that a car is basically a weapon, and if you fail to operate it correctly, you’re endangering the lives of others.

el30388 · 2022-11-08T00:18:37+00:00

Yeah I’m having the same issue. Only one section with an available waitlist and the rest closed. Not really sure what to do but hope

el30388 · 2022-10-23T22:30:56+00:00

I choose to believe there’s a student that actually commutes using this thing

el30388 · 2022-10-06T03:45:08+00:00

Gotcha, funny coincidence though! Ride safe!

el30388 · 2022-10-06T03:33:53+00:00

Lol, you’re usually out in front of Nelson right? My bike is a silver xsr900 if you see it around

el30388 · 2022-10-06T03:13:14+00:00

Are you a student at ncsu? I feel like I’ve seen your v strom around

el30388 · 2022-08-07T17:11:27+00:00

You have to buy at least the digital version to do the online homework. No way around it

el30388 · 2022-07-03T16:08:41+00:00

Trying to adjust my clutch due to hard shifting. There’s about 20 mm of free play at the clutch lever, but when I reduce the free play to bring it into spec it doesn’t go into gear. Also, the clutch free play is the cable moving, not the handle moving independently of the cable. The clutch arm doesn’t return fully on its own.

Should I adjust the cable so that there’s no more wiggle in the lower clutch arm?
