    Tire removal

    The last time I had tires shod by my local guy, his machine was down and he broke out a set of spoons. At first I cringed and told him to forget about it but he assured me that they would be fine. I will say that it was super hard for him to mount that rear onto the rim. After that experience...

    Throttle Body Sync DIY

    So it's been a couple of days since I have last posted here, shame on me. Thank God this post was still available to look at! This past weekend I decided that it was time to adjust my throttle bodies since the 09' now has 29,000 plus on it and it has never been done. The bike has been running...

    Any recent tire upgrade opinions? / brands / models to stay away from?

    Stay away from, I don't know, but I just installed a set of Bridgestone S-22's and they are excellent. I just came off a set of T-31's and decided to step up and get the S-model tires for this season. For the price, in my honest opinion, you can't go wrong with the S-22's.

    2021 Moto2 races

    With all these series starting to stream everything, it's just getting crazy. World Superbike is streaming now as well. I may pay for that and leave the Moto GP for the stick and just wake up early. I see there's a DVR System for the Firestik now which I may invest in at around 135 bucks.

    2021 Moto2 races

    Sorry Greeno, have you been watching at all? I found them but I watch on my Firestick via a streaming app. The only problem is that it's a live feed and I don't have any way to record it to watch later. So that means I'm usually up at 3:00am on race weekends to catch Moto3 and Moto2

    2021 MotoGP Discussion Thread *SPOILERS*

    I think he may be my "go to" guy once the Doctor has left the sport. Jack Miller is really maturing since this last season and may be a force to reckon with this coming season. And with Mir taking the championship, it's a whole new ballgame now. Lots of good riders and bikes coming in the...

    2021 MotoGP Discussion Thread *SPOILERS*

    I'm excited to see what Franco is going to do this coming year. He's really acclimated well to the Moto GP bike and has been super consistent. It's going to be an exciting year if this virus doesn't screw things up again.

    Anyone else use the site reputation?

    Shame on me! As a moderator here, I've probably looked at that section of the forum. I'll have to take a closer look. Thanks for pointing that out bud. Merry Christmas to you and your family!

    CanonFuji, RIP

    Many of the original members here surely remember by dear friend and riding partner, Ray (CanonFuji), here on the forum. It's with a heavy, heavy heart, that I must tell you that he suddenly and unexpectedly passed away this past Wednesday. He was my dearest buddy and genuinely most honorable...

    Run without exup?

    No, it's cable operated. If you look at the mid pipe you'll see the pivot with the two cables coming from it. Turn it one way, the valve is open, turn it the other way, it's closed.
