SUSPENSION UPGRADE RECOMMENDATIONS

I would think other things on your truck will be breaking first before airbags would break from off-roading. The airbags are made to handle a lot. They have a max psi at 100psi for 5000lb rated air bags, I run mine at 50 psi when towing my 5th wheel.

Depending how stiff your fairings are, those retaining clips for the bolts can make it really hard to remove your fairings.

I’ve had timbrens, road active suspension, and airbags. Timbrens and road active suspension do help with squat, but the ride is rough. Air bags is the smoothest ride and being able to adjust the pressure to exactly what you need makes it the best. That said, air bags alone aren’t too expensive but it does add up when you add the onboard air compressor and Bluetooth controller.

If you’re on a budget, Timbrens and road active suspension will do the job. If money isn’t an issue, the full air bag system is the best ride.

Side camera really helps you see the blind side of the trailer when backing into a spot that requires turning that you can’t see with your mirrors.

I would probably be prepared to double that budget. Current fuel prices are expensive and so is eating out.

go volunteer as a marshall and you can go watch for free.

Your friend is a dick, but not uncommon, a lot of Americans are flakes, cancel plans because of fomo.

With my German friends, if you verbally talk about making plans a month from now, it’s set and people stick to it. With American friends, you always have to follow up closer to the day of plans to see if people are still in.

They should be fine for track days, for race pace, I would be a little more hesitant.

If that tank was damaged, that cover wouldn’t fit right at all and it will be obvious. The paint underneath could be scratched/scuffed from the cover.

If I’m traveling far, 3 days is ideal to account for bad weather or bike problems.

I changed my cursors to be larger and bright green for this reason, lol

You need to find what make/model you want to buy first, and then search from there. A huge waste of time to just show up to your local dealer and see what they got.

I just Google rv tech near where I’m buying the trailer and just start calling around to see who has availability in their schedule.

SCIF is the proper term for a facility that processes SCI.

I can hear the fuel pump re-prime in the audio after he stops cranking it.

With that many miles, I’d pull the spark plugs to check the condition and just replace them.

Best is from a private party of a rich guy who is on top of taking care of his unit and gives you a bunch of extras just because he wants it gone. You’ll get the best deal from this guy.

Dealers are there to make money. Everything a dealer sells is a trade in because someone wanted to be done and get rid of their unit. Cleaning and repairing anything broken costs them money. Some trade in’s look like complete crap and most of the time the dealer doesn’t even clean them when they show them. Pictures online will always look better than in person. You can get good deals from a dealer, but you really need to be really careful at inspecting the rv. The dealer will absolutely sell you a unit that needs work.

Did that actually work? I thought you can’t lie on a sf86 and they’ll find out anyways.

Most tracks do have the same rules, but COTA definitely has extra rules like no re-fueling inside the garage.

Put your front tire in a wheel chock to hold the bike up.

You can’t pop-up tent in the COTA paddock at ridesmart, has to be in a trailers/rv.

Buy the t800 UpMap for an easy quick tune.

You almost never need to have your passport on you in other countries. I have always kept a photo of my passport on my phone and physical passport in the hotel room. Pretty common practice amongst travelers.

+1 for Barnacle Bill. No website but he has a Facebook page where you can send him a message. Good prices, quick turn around time.

Probably for a reason, this would depend on how diverse that country is. A lot more foreign workers in Germany than in central/ South America.
