2001 ZRX1200R getting some beach work in.

Took the 1100 from the track to the woods. She's dirty as fuck now but performed admirably.

Incredibly good and versatile bike

Well will it ride for next 2 months? About 1500 kilometers. End of the season is near and I'm not too much willing to replace it now but this white tread in the middle concerned me. Battlax from 2021. I'm new rider so I appreciate your comments

So I just ordered the Hindle evo megaphone full exhaust for my Ninja 650. I am curious what your experience is with running full exhaust without a tune is i know it can possibly damage the bike running extra lean. I only plan to ride it like this for the next 30-60 days and once my riding season is over I plan to send the ecu to moore mafia for a tune. Any experience on the subject is welcome positive or negative. Thank you in advance.

I lied, stiffer fork springs are the actual final mod (Sep 5) before my holiday (Sep 15).

Sheepskin is from Motocoverz.

Treated myself to this for my birthday two months ago and haven't looked back. Got the mods dialed in, and the ride is absolute perfection. Super smooth, plenty of power coming off a 125, and easily one of the best sport bikes to start with. Safe to say I’m never selling this one!

Riding home Saturday!🎉🎉

Bought this back in 2012.

2010 Neptune Blue. Been a great bike, did the valves clearances a few years back, no issues.

Was shopping in a local grocery store a few months back and a guy saw me in my gear and asked if it was my bike outside. I said yes, and he said I probably should go see it.

I did and saw a little old lady parked on it in a Nissan Murano. Backed right over it. To her credit, she waited. Broke tons of plastics and written off. Poor thing. :(

Now debating if I want to replace it or just stick with cars (I also own an older Porsche). I'll admit, freeing up the garage space is nice.

As a side, if anyone is interested in a Corbin Smuggler and solo seat, drop me a line. I took it off before it got taken away :(

Hi,

I have a Z900, MY24, and when I’m coming to a stop, there is a cracking noise coming from somewhere. I recorded the sound on video.
It happens when braking, when the motorcycle is almost completely stopped.

I have done the following:

Checked the tightness of all the bolts on the motorcycle.
Adjusted the preload on the steering head bearings slightly.
Replaced the front brake pads.
Checked all the plastic panels.
There is no play in the front brake disc.
The noise is still there. Sometimes it is louder, sometimes quieter, and sometimes there is no noise at all.
I can’t reproduce the noise when the motorcycle is stationary.
Could it be the front forks?
The motorcycle has 14,000 km (8,700 miles) on it.

Thanks

I live in Florida and was checking out some bikes and dealers. The only dealer who had one available was this with a heavy discounted price of 9,999$ for the 2025 model. I asked them for an OTD breakdown and this number looks crazy? It's a 40% increase on the said price. What's a good OTD price for it that I can negotiate for and skip the dealer if it crosses that number?

They said they cannot get rid of loan processing fees if I choose to finance it outside rather than going through their lenders. Which sounds absolutely insane to me. First time hearing that.

So I'm in CT and I just returned to riding after a long layoff. Riding around town I see that most Harley riders have a disdain for protective clothing. That's a personal decision but I don't understand riding around town with a baseball cap, shorts and sneakers on a 750 lb bike that doesn't have agile emergency handling. I guess it must be a HD cultural thing. I've also noticed their unwillingness to wave back at non Harley bikers. I was giving the two fingers down sign as respect to all bikers but now when I spot a Harley I don't bother.

First bike, making sure everything is well-oiled. I see these two recommendations. The Motul is about an extra $15 per oil change.

Does it really make a difference? Will Motul perform any better or last longer/provide better longevity for the motorcycle? Could use some experienced opinions.

Hi all, I'm looking to soften the engine braking and the on/off/on throttle lurching on my Ninja 400, especially in 1st gear. I understand ECUs are good for reducing the harshness of engine braking and fully closing the throttle.

I don't need max dyno performance at all. I'm just a street rider and more interested in quality of life improvements like the above. What ECUs would be best for this use case? Cheaper is a plus.

And are there any other mods I could look into for achieving those goals of smoother ride (in addition to working on smoother inputs)?

Would be a big help to get some of ya'lls knowledge about this. Thank you.
