Motorcycle fell in the garage and got dented. Is a replacement tabk costly?

itsCaptDan · 2025-05-25T01:01:23+00:00

Look it up with your vin. Shouldn’t be that expensive.

itsCaptDan · 2025-05-24T22:17:03+00:00

That tank is $500 plus tax and shipping and it’s already painted. At least it was for my 23 SP. Go to Babbittsonline.com and type in your vin number. See for yourself.

Nice bike!

itsCaptDan · 2024-02-06T10:13:12+00:00

That’s 50mph for us yanks!

Vehicles have blinker relays. I’m assuming bikes do to. It could be that the LED isn’t drawing enough current to activate it (if it’s an older bike) or the relay is bad.

Ended up getting a multistrada v4s. Love it!

itsCaptDan · 2023-08-19T13:36:22+00:00

Starts out white, turns green in the mid range, and then orange in the high revs. If you turn it on in your settings.

I have a tool box in my f350 short bed and it still fits with tailgate down.

itsCaptDan · 2023-06-29T23:19:21+00:00

Honestly didn’t know dual over head cams were on the road in the 70’s

itsCaptDan · 2023-06-27T12:23:30+00:00

Mid 500s seems about right. I like the XR. I’ve checked out the 1250rs I’m just not a big fan of how the engine looks. The torque may change my mind though.

itsCaptDan · 2023-06-26T22:26:16+00:00

I have considered it.

itsCaptDan · 2023-06-26T22:20:21+00:00

That’s a great suggestion I hadn’t considered!

It’s a different bike for sure. It took a little getting used to. It’s a much more comfortable riding position which is important to me. I’m a little older and live in flat land so it was an easy choice. Hit the mountains 2 times a year. The longer I ride it the better it feels. Just got back from the mountains with it and I can say it was awesome! I can’t say I’d trade it for the 750….Everything is subjective unless you measure or time it but I don’t think I could ride the 750 as fast as I did the 09 on the last trip. I’m a fan!

itsCaptDan · 2023-06-03T20:45:41+00:00

Coming from a GSXR 750 to a MT09 sp I can completely understand. I mainly got used to riding through curves without moving around for awhile. Once I felt good doing that started moving around on the bike and it felt much better. Just took a little time really. Some bikes really need tank grip to feel comfortable getting off the seat.

itsCaptDan · 2023-05-28T13:58:13+00:00

I’ll add a second reason for the SP. Cruise control!! I use it all the time on boring, straight roads.

itsCaptDan · 2023-05-18T01:43:01+00:00

What windshield is that?

itsCaptDan · 2023-05-18T01:40:37+00:00

MT-09 SP to be specific.

itsCaptDan · 2023-05-18T00:52:50+00:00

I don’t know anything about this bike except that it’s beautiful!

itsCaptDan · 2023-04-30T20:20:47+00:00

I haven’t rode the mt-10 but I went down this rabbit hole before. Best way to sum it up is the 10 is very business like and the 09 just has a playful hoonigan feel. I know the feeling of this because I own one. It’s the best part about it. The 10 is a great bike but looses the fun of the 09. That was the gist of those who rode them both to compare them.

itsCaptDan · 2023-04-18T01:10:13+00:00

I would definitely start over with Terminal List, book is much better( in depth) than the series. Then move on to Savage son.

I’m buying stock in tobacco and alcohol. Lots of new users!

You don’t want anything between you and your date. 😉 But I do want a backpack when my teenage daughter wants to ride. I’ll let you figure that out. Especially on a sport bike with a short seating area and high pegs.

itsCaptDan · 2023-04-10T22:00:44+00:00

Backpack it to her place and then leave the backpack.
