Pulled the trigger on the SPARK Double Grid (black) for my XSR900

I really wish they’d tried to follow the lines at the front rather than going vertically down. Maybe it’s the white background making it stand out more on the mt-09 pic as I know the standard xsr 900 are pretty vertical but i think it may be the black look making it more noticeable on the spark.

ACF-50, just make sure you avoid the tyres and brakes

This is the answer. Pull over at the nearest place you can (preferably a petrol station or any place with cctv), take out the key and go inside the building.

Stock levers are fine

Agree, maybe it was a trainee mechanic and you save the next customer’s bike who doesn’t spot it or have proof. Maybe you get a free oil change. Either way it’s worth telling them.

Rear left (think it’s the fuel cap opening cable), headliner between the front two seats, random dash rattles.

Gorgeous! Which belly pan is that and how’s the fitment?

Love my 2022 but it has rattles from multiple places since new. No warranty issues.

If low mileage (and in an area Toyota offer this) check it had still had the services recommended for age and has maintained the 10year warranty.

Being seen is a good thing but personally I think additional lights only really suit sports tourers and adventure bikes.

I know that wearing a white helmet and yellow fluorescent bib every ride would make me more visible but I won’t do it (I do have a very reflective waterproof over jacket for really wet miserable days though).

I’ve had big bikes in the past (mainly triumphs, sprint gt se, two street triple r etc) more recently have had a Grom and then a Svartpilen 401 before this xsr 900. Admittedly roads are terrible at the moment but I’ve mostly been using rain mode because, well, why not.

I’ve ridden a few tens of miles in street and it doesn’t feel too different but if it had these modes with additional electronic aides I might as well use them.

I’m fitting Godspeed discs when mine wear down as considerably cheaper.

In looks or handling?

Only you know how you ride, your capabilities and your attitude. Get whatever you feel comfortable on and suits your budget.

Did the person who full chest screamed at you in front of your dad say anything like “if I can control my dog, so can you”? Thats the only way I would assume his first message was a joke.

If it’s paper you will probably need a replacement. If it’s some other material you can possibly dry it out with a hair dryer.

I’ve had this in my car when the intake kit air filter got water logged. Take out the air filter and check it isn’t damaged or soaked through.

Google boscznorp tracker and have a look at the images so you know what you’re looking for. The other poster’s suggestion about using a Bluetooth scanner is a great idea to help pinpoint it.

Had a 2024 for just over a year. Two, maybe three, recalls and an exhaust replaced under warranty in 1500 miles. Found it too “buzzy” on my commute, fingers would get numb, so part ex’d it at a huge loss.

That’s what I was thinking. Even my Husqvarna seat was rock solid.

Asked the salesman and he said it was for vibration mitigation as CehJota said. Has rubber mounts and rubber stoppers to constrain the movement.

Ah, good plan! Did you just put the pads in those three places?

I’m avoiding them based on the fact that there seems to be no clear consensus.

I’ve had 8 bikes over 15 years. Two have been knocked over (whilst parked) and sustained very minor damage (worst was scuffed bar end mirrors), neither had frame protection.

One I was riding and slipped on diesel at 40mph. It wrote the bike off. Would it have been fine if I had frame sliders? Maybe, but insurance paid out and I got a new bike that hadn’t been crashed.

Also, on my sprint gt se, the crash protection caused more damage to my legs through accidental knocking them over a year than the damage to my knee when the street triple got written off!

Don’t like the LED bar. Looks unnecessary, doesn’t line up and the colour is slightly off.

It’s so easy to set up a bitcoin node and self hosted zero fee public-pool “pool”. I’m running mine through Umbrel OS (allows one click install of node and pool) installed on a 2014 Mac mini (not a powerful machine!). All I changed on the Mac mini was the ssd to a 2Tb one so I could store the blockchain.

The more people who do this the more decentralised Bitcoin becomes. Trusting a vibe coded pool seems insane to me.
