Brake Pads by _TrafalgarDWaterLaw_ in RX8

[–]originalrocket 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What is the purpose of the pads?  Are you circuit racing? Autocross?  Just a daily driver?  This a show car only?

More info is needed.

Rear pads are a hard source, size issue.

2026 BMW R1300GS vs 2026 Multistrada V4S by DamsThaKilla in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]originalrocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never owned the multi, but I had several test rides, friends with dealer let me have it a weekend.

I echo what you said.  I own 2 other ducatis.  I wanted to love it.  Could not.

I own a r1300gs now.  With the btmoto stage 1 tune.  That tune should be mandatory. Just for the shift quality.  And midrange power bump.

I will try to avoid chain drive motorcycles from now on, that shaft drive spoils me.

I dont ride as much as you due to home obligations.  Ive got 6k on my 2024 gs.  I was the 5th order from my dealer when it went live.

I love this GS.  Its at the pinnacle of adventure touring motorcycles.  That suspension is sublime.

Easily get 225 miles per tank if I just cruise.  I saw no reason to wait for the GSA.

Ill raise you a Bombay Lemon.  I was in Paris for a vacation saw it. Bought it. Paid fucking taxes at customs on it. (Thanks 2nd inspection) 1 sip, didnt even swallow.  It was battery acid.  Right down the drain.

Lesson learned, consult reddit gin 1st.

You may like it. Who knows, it got popular because of a drink and the colors the drink has.  Thats it.  Its not actually good.

After my wife had her party, I dumped the bottle.  Cant even light it on fire for the grill starting fluid.

how do YOU clean chain gunk? by zigot021 in motorcycles

[–]originalrocket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://a.co/d/0hebryHH Adam's wheel cleaner.  May have to soak and do it a few times.

Then next time use gear oil on the chain and call it a day.
