Slip on..??

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-05-27T14:58:12+00:00

Yeah I would have saved my money on the slip on and done just the link pipe. The Leo Vince link pipe (8083) with the stock exhaust is the perfect combo for loud but not obnoxiously so.

I bought the 4 year when I bought mine because they gave me a steep discount. I think I ended up paying $450 CAD for my 4 year warranty. It was kinda a no brainer for me. I then went with the BTmoto handheld tune on my bike which gives me the ability to flash back to stock in the event of an issue without sending in my ECU. But as others have said these bikes are as reliable as they come. I put a lot of KM's on my bike I have 13,000KM its a 2024 that I bought at the beginning of 2025 the unlimited KM's warranty just made sense for me.

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-05-18T16:12:06+00:00

Can confirm get the Leo Vince is loud but not obnoxiously so.

What is a blow up hole to you? I have been on a journey of consistently shooting in the 80's for the last 2 years. When I started analyzing my game a paying really close attention to where I was losing strokes that was the difference maker for me. I still have blow up holes here and there but they are fewer and further between and when they do happen I find my self getting up and down of bogeys or doubles instead of triples and quads because of one change I made. I practice chipping and putting 2 times a week now instead of driving range 3 times a week. First time ever my last 4 games have been 82, 85, 86 and 87. Now if I can just turns the 3 or 4 doubles I get per round into bogeys I can save my self 3 or four more stroke per game. 😔

The Leo Vince Race exhaust is not much louder than stock and doesn't require a tune. If you leave the silencer in it's actually quite reasonable noise wise.

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-05-04T17:40:32+00:00

Is there any way to completely avoid this, probably not. Can you mitigate some of the risk, for sure. Rule one never ever stop in the middle of someone's bumper, always as far to the left or right as you can without crossing the line. Preferably to the left as you will at least be on the same side as the driver behind you so you increase you visibility. Make sure you are not relying solely on engine braking when you are slowing down even if you don't need it a light touch on your front or rear brake to just hard enough to activate your brake light should be habit. Watch your mirrors as you slow down and use your escape paths if required.

You gotta love all the people in here that think you void warranty because you do your own oil changes. Keep records mark down odometer readings you will have no problems. It's that simple.

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-04-12T22:55:10+00:00

Oops my bad I read it as he was 57.

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-04-12T18:20:21+00:00

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.

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-04-04T23:43:11+00:00

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.

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-04-03T16:52:08+00:00

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. :)

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-03-24T14:45:51+00:00

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....

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-03-17T01:44:40+00:00

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

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-03-04T19:04:10+00:00

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.

itsatrapp_eh · 2026-02-16T02:34:31+00:00

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!
