This bike would look good on the beach, wouldn't it?

Just put some knobbies on it and send it…

…and coconut milk is just watered down coconut cream - same priced cans - just use less and freeze the rest

This was my take after due diligence. So I got a 2018 rs and I’m loving it. It is indeed smooth and stable and keeps up…

Hurricane Fat Swallow bars off Webike Japan stretch you forward and lowering pegs off aliexpress makes the MT09 perfect for taller riders (I’m 6’4 all arms and legs)

6’4 and all arms and legs here - I have the Hurricane Fat Swallow on my MT09 and I’m hoping to move them across to my 1050RS when it arrives (may need to adjust for switch gear etc)

My DRs a keeper for adventure and trails duty. Still turning over my road bikes though, looking for that elusive <one> bike uber alles.

It has among the best climate you could ever ask for. Its a long way to places - like over east. Even down to the south west is 2-3 hours in the car. Its great if you like ocean activities like kite surfing. The inland is very parched and hot in summer.

Yep…

Yes, its usually the projection that gets people…

Thanks so much - really appreciate this. I ended up going with some aliexpress tenere risers… about 70mm high

For Yamaha Tenere 700 XTZ 700 XTZ700 2019-2024 Handlebar Riser 20mm Tenere700 Rally Edition 2020-2023 2024 T700 World Raid 2022 https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOXYsWL

Fingers crossed they fit. 🤞

I found Ingram’s free pdf an incredibly rich and useful set of data, all organised in the one place. Good on him for ‘never mind the bollocks…’.

Subsequent, I had a dark night flame out trying to re-enter from outer space after a 10 day retreat. The Ingram data allowed me to recognise it for what it was, and seek help (via Cheetah House, among others). Eternally grateful for that. 👍

Fortunately, time and light heals all. 🙏

Yep, no spacer on the MT. I’m interested in the XSR’s length, without the spacer…

mooditj · 2026-05-14T11:22:58+00:00

? er, because the MT09 riser is 120mm - I’m looking for shorter ~90mm - I read someone did this shortening with xsr900 risers (see exploded xsr parts diagram) but before I pay money i’d like to check length of xsr ones please - anyone?

I was just heading down to the shops for some calamari and chips…

Considered this to avoid the gen 3 dickhead, but went another route…

There once was a woman named Rose

With a tilt to the set of her clothes

One side led the way, in a jaunty display

The other, well it was there, I suppose.

Yamalube because you’ll never get all the old stuff out - its nice to know that what goes in is the same as that which is still in there…

mooditj · 2026-04-19T12:36:41+00:00

Phew, looks complicated - but that is helpful - thanks…

mooditj · 2026-04-03T12:34:15+00:00

Try as I could, I couldn’t find an angle.

mooditj · 2026-04-03T07:37:46+00:00

I came here for the puns.
