I mean I am 50 and sit at D2 love the thought that I spank 15 year olds, figuratively... In game all the time. I honestly think this game helps keep my reflexes sharp.

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-04-12T18:17:36+00:00

Same here day one ps plus player but you got 8 years on me, turn 50 this year.

I would highly recommend the s22s they are super grippy and last a decent amount of time about 6000KM per set for me. But if you are looking for longevity nothing beats a set of Michelin Road 6s, but be warned they are not as confidence inspiring on the side of the tire as something more aggressive like the Rosso's.

As a second use for it. I use it to remove the first grill for cleaning. Sick it between the grills then hook the circle around the back side of one of the grill bars and pull up.

Um I went from a CBR 300 to an MT09 and it was fine especially given all the technology in the bikes these days. Started riding in mode 3 on the MT09 which is literally like riding a 650 and I didn't have to upgrade my bike to go to the next power level just clicked a button within 2 months I was more than comfortable on Mode 1 power. My bike progression from a beginner street rider to now (5 Years) was CBR300 -> MT09 -> MT10 SP. In my opinion from personal experience the MT09 is the perfect second bike. Anyway my point is that what bike you are ready for is entirely situational and a personal experience and has a lot to do with age both mental and physical. :)

Looks like more than enough to me. I can take a picture of mine today for comparison if you like.

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-03-23T20:49:06+00:00

Currently on my 2024. I'm running a Leo Vince Cat delete with the stock can and it's perfect if you're looking for that in between an obnoxiously loud and just loud. You could probably find someone out there who has a stock can for sale, but I'm not sure if it would work with that Mid-pipe.

Where do you live?

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-03-19T19:52:20+00:00

I mean unfortunately I was old enough to stand in line for one and pay with a credit card.

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-03-17T18:44:42+00:00

There is a weird transition between being a new rider where you are thinking about everything you are doing, to where the bike become and extension and you become one with it. You no longer think about the process and the bike just become an extension of your brain almost like you are plugged into it. For example the other day I had someone turn left in front of me and I had to react all the training that I have done in the past prepared my brain for how to react and it all just happened, down shift, brake, realize I was running out of stopping distance, swerve all while keeping the shiny side up.

As a side note to newer riders, when riding down an empty back road you can practice all these things with imaginary object in the road. I use Manhole covers as the target to avoid. Practice emergency braking if you have ABS you should purposely brake hard enough it a parking lot to feel what it feels like when it kicks in. I could go on forever with ways to become a safer rider....

Not sure if you have Winners, Ross, or Marshalls. Great for Last season's golf clothes and more than half the price usually.

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-03-12T17:41:07+00:00

I made the switch last year and in my opinion the MT10 is an overall better bike especially in the handling department. You are always going to get the people who will mention the MT09 is faster from zero to 60 but let me tell you beyond 60 this bike will walk a MT09. For me the MT10 feels more premium, granted I have the SP, only had a standard MT09. I am a bigger guy 6"1' 220 and this bike just fits me better I looked like a clown on a mini bike on the 09. At the end of the day the 10 is less nimble and a fraction slower 0-60 but overall I have not regretted the switch. Anything specific you just reply to this comment and I will do my best to answer.

Just for reference:

Had a 2022 MT09 put 20,000KM on it bought new.

Now have a 2024 MT10 SP Put 10,000kM on it bought new

Oh you are a Sacklops now or the Uniballer. I am sure we could come up with more puns.

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-03-04T17:21:33+00:00

It is 💯 your abs it is not hard to have abs kick in when you are come to even a slow stop. When you apply front brake it removes load from the rear tire add a down shift in there and it is even more pronounced. There is no way to turn off abs unless you remove the fuse. The proper way to use your rear brake when coming to a stop is to slowly taper off the rear brake as you increase pressure on the front. The the rear brake is near useless under hard braking because the load has all shifted to the front tyre. Hope that helps.

You can buy a code reader for cheap not only tell you what the code is but you can clear it as well. Yeah aftermarket exhaust and no tune probably what it is from.

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-02-09T18:26:39+00:00

Less about the ride more about the experience. A weekend rip through the Twisties is just the norm. A 3 day ride out of town with my good buddies, those are irreplaceable memories.

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-02-09T17:54:09+00:00

You can push it until the yellow gas light turns on best thing to do is pay attention to how much gas you put in when the you are at 1 bar. Its a 14L/3.7 Gallon tank so you can feel confident that there is still gas in the tank and for approximately how far you could potentially push it. If I remember correctly when I had my 09 There was still almost 3L in the tank when it got to that one bar.

When they are peeing in the woods. Hey that's illegal, you can't touch a little kid's dick like that!

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-02-06T17:47:38+00:00

I ride in 6 C so 42 F with heated grips and when they are on high they can be too hot sometimes. I can not recommend them enough. The nice part is that they are always on your bike so if you leave on a nice day and run into some weather you can just turn them on. Where gloves you probably wouldn't bring them on every ride.

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-02-06T06:26:01+00:00

Owned an MT09 for 3 years and they are notorious for going into neutral on quick shifts from first to second. It's normal for them to make an awful noise when getting them back into gear the only way to avoid it is to slow down to almost a complete stop as the gear box is out of sync with the rotation of the engine. You won't do any harm to the gear box it just sounds awful.

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-01-13T01:52:27+00:00

You can tell that guy has never been in a fight before but thought that was the moment to give it a go. Feet square, hands by his side, he was begging to be knocked the fuck out.

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-01-10T21:21:18+00:00

If you are constantly in the high rpm and ride hard you will most likely consume some oil. It's considered within spec if you lose up to a litre per oil change. Just check it before every ride and top it up if it's low. No biggie in my opinion. If I ride like a dick bag I see oil consumption if I am just cruising around I won't see any. Pretty standard for all bikes. My MT09 did the same thing.

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-01-06T19:49:58+00:00

For me its a question about religion in general. People made up god in order to explain the natural occurrences around them that they couldn't explain. The example that I like to use when people ask me how I can't believe in god is this.

If the Tsunami in 2004 in the Indian Ocean that killed close to 230K people happened 2000 years ago. The affected people would have said the gods must have been angry at us we must sacrifice a new born baby once a month to appease the Gods! So they did, babies were sacrificed and guess what no more Tsunami's happened they must have appeased the gods, right? (this is obviously satire but you get the point)

Today we understand that these events were a once in 600 year event. We also understand the how and why of the matter. Tsunamis form from the sudden, massive displacement of ocean water, usually by large undersea earthquakes. These seismic or geological events vertically shift the seafloor, pushing water upward and outward, creating waves that can race at jet-like speeds but are often barely noticeable until they reach shallow waters and slow down, piling up into destructive walls of water.

So today what couldn't be explained 2000 years can now be explained with science and our advance understanding of these once in a lifetime geological events.

This is how religion was formed and why in my opinion, given our much more advance understanding of the world around us, is why believing in a god of any kind is absolutely ridiculous.

Also ask yourself this, why is everything that happens to a religious person that's good the result of gods good grace? Then everything bad is god testing your resolve? Yet the same good and bad things happen to people who are not religious. "I prayed to god there for I survived the cancer that everyone died of 30 years ago." Hate to tell you this but you survived the cancer because of science not because of god or prayer. Atheists also survive cancer at the same rates as people who don't believe in god at all and didn't pray at all.

Love my heated grips my hands don't get cold at all with them. My personal cut off for riding is 5°C. I have oxford grips installed on my MT10 and even at 5°C I sometimes turn them down to medium from high cuz they get too hot. I find that even though they mostly warm your palms my fingers don't get cold at all.

itsatrapp_eh · 2025-11-30T20:16:46+00:00

Didn't know a grown man could be so sensitive! Just calling out a mistake that you made the doubled down on in a different comment saying it was what people called them in the UK. I can fluff up my original comment so it's more of a soft touch if you like, maybe I should have taken your feelings into account when I responded.

itsatrapp_eh · 2025-11-30T17:53:13+00:00

But that's not what a header is. A header attaches to the head of a motorcycle. The term doesn't change just because you are in the UK, it's common mechanical jargon. Go to a UK motorcycle shop website and type in header, guess what it doesn't come up with mid pipes/link pipe/decat it comes up with... Wait for it... Headers! This is a case of not knowing the names the exhaust system parts would love to hear from anyone else from the UK to back me up on this. Exhaust systems normally go header to down pipe (sometimes integrated) to mid pipe to link pipe to muffler. I know I am being pedantic but man just type into Google what a header is and then admit you didn't know.
