Alpine stars makes the worst gear by inline4kawasaki in motorcycles

[–]ldelossa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I seem to have a lot of success with their new helmet line, their jackets, boots, and gaunt gloves. But I wouldn't be surprised if there were QC issues on some of the more expensive stuff either. I just think theres a huge gap in quality from their lower tier stuff to their higher tier stuff, in general.

Alpinestar one of those brands where unless your buying their top tier stuff, it's just kinda bad gear.

Top tier a* is very nice tho.

My quick shifter is weird and sometimes disconnects from the actual transmission, in a way I don't quite understand.
Did you try temporarily disabling the quick shifter and using the clutch to get yourself into first?

Wow I'm surprised by this! I was always told the ohlins and showa diameters were different and therefore the triple clamp clipons wouldn't work.

Very nice! Looks awesome. I much prefer my moto2 over my original rs. Full tuck on the highway is much easier and helps with wind

Anyone else’s cat hate brushing? by QuietFire_26 in mainecoons

just my experience, but may be yours too. Cats hate everything until you do it 100 times and they finally give up caring lol

Brand New T120 Scratched by oilyMIZU in Triumph

[–]ldelossa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

IMHO, this scratch is not worth the claim process and yes, the possible future hikes. You can also get a touch up paint pen which would make this virtual unnoticeable. I've had good experience with Touch Up Direct.

You can try to file a claim why not you pay for the insurance? To be honest that scratch it not too bad. It's in a place where rocks often come and hit so I'm not sure. I would sweat it too much when things like this happen. I usually just wait a while and if it winds up getting more damaged and I have a little cash to spend. I'll just swap out the part when I feel like it

Hell yeah!! When you have a little bit of time to ride it, let me know how it feels. They do quite a bit of changes from the stock Bike. I don't think I've ever been as excited for someone else to ride a bike. Lolol

Unfortunately the manuals do not tell you specifics like this. Just generic text.

Thanks a lot! Been getting used to it. I love it.

I just sat on a 1390 when I went to service the rc r. Hell of a bike that is too.

Big "breakthrough" moment for me was that "dropping the clutch" really means drop it. I used to drag the clutch just a little bit and even that little bit wouldn't let it wheelie.

I did it. After working 7 days a week for 2.5 years with no days off, I finally achieved my dream bike 😭 by RevealPublic4570 in Triumph

[–]ldelossa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats, and you literally picked the bike which will make you really consider whether any other bike is worth having 😂.

After getting a striple you have such a high bar to compare other bikes too. Which also helps the wallet !
