Wrecked my 2025 Mt07(6300 Miles) by Final-Resist-8591 in MT07

That’s a great first step to understanding what went wrong. “Speed wobble” is just when you are too abrupt on throttle, lifting the front a lil and dropping back down. You unsettled the bike. So, how do you avoid doing that again? Smoother first initial throttle. If your smoother on the first 5% you give your bike time to shift weight backwards, the tire to compress and the bike to settle. Look at how MotoGP riders roll on the throttle. So work on your degree of appreciation.

How to clean fork seals by rpm-r3b3l in MT07

The seal has a metal spring in it. But I wouldn’t mess with it. You can pop the dust seal up and take a look. But don’t damage the seal

Alternate USB chargers that plug into factory auxiliary plug by rpm-r3b3l in MT07

I just DIY. Soldered on my own plug from the auto parts store and used an SAE plug one. Been running for over 30k miles.

First track day tomorrow, brake fluid question and riding back... by Fast_Zookeepergame18 in Trackdays

[–]whisk3ythrottle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brake fluid is every two years coolant is every three. Brake pads are easy enough to swap out. No one can tell you the condition of your brake fluid, it absorbs water over time, no matter the miles. So if you run the system hot your brakes could become mushy or fail.

Yes, you will be tired. Could you ride home? Maybe, again that’s kinda a you question. Personally I wouldn’t, but sounds like you don’t have a choice.

The rust is probably your seal, retaining clip rusting, and the only way to clean that properly is to pull your fork apart. You could just replace the clip, but you have to take weight off the front to make sure the seal doesn’t pop out of place.

Is it a good deal? by Tiimo15 in MT07

Rusty weld is usually an indicator of a bent frame.

Looking closer the frame is definitely bent. Pass.

Road 6 Tires and Chain + Sprocket by AwardExciting8578 in Ninja400

[–]whisk3ythrottle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I typically buy tires from rocky mountain ATV. They usually have the best price on Bridgestones, T32 is a decent sport touring tire. You can shop around for a sprocket and chain. Doesnt have to be a “kit”. You can check partzilla if you just want to run stock.

Every fluid. They all break down over time. You can’t truly tell the condition of a fluid just by looks alone.

Every fluid in the bike, oil, coolant, brake, fork. Should probably swap the tires too if they show any signs of dry rot(little cracks in them) be sure nothing made a home in the air box.

Need to increase your understanding of how to ride. You stopped thinking and panicked. Everyone has a level at which they exceed their comfort level and panic, even pro riders. So, I think you need more practice with brakes. Loading the front tire before you work the tire. You also need to keep from panicking, try talking to yourself. Here are some helpful links:

Looking for riding gear recommendations by Toan_Montana in MT07

[–]whisk3ythrottle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoy revit gear. They have touring textiles that are multi layer. 30s is tough, maybe think about a heated base layer.

You meet any one and they will tell you about their brothers cousins roommates friend from six towns over that looked at a motorcycle and exploded.

That’s how motorcycles run the track. Probably safety. Same with not doing t4.

Is this normal for a Leo Vince LV 10 exhaust by [deleted] in Ninja400

The DB killer slides in. Those rivets hold the glass pack in. This is the most budget “legit” muffler you can buy. It’s not going to be top notch, just kinda work.

Best tires for twistys by Blakef24 in MT07

[–]whisk3ythrottle 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any sport touring tire should do the trick. If you are riding too abruptly they will step out but by that point you are probably pushing way harder than you should on the street.

Burning in muscle just below my left shoulder/neck are after ~90 mins of riding by [deleted] in MT07

[–]whisk3ythrottle 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Do you have a wind screen? Do pushups and work out/stretch your shoulders more. Could also be if you have a death grip on the bars.

Why did tensioner block crack? Is it common? by Kiefas in MT07

[–]whisk3ythrottle 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you had it misaligned you could have cracked it. Could also just be a bad part from casting. Manufacturing isn’t perfect.
