Those are the first equipment ContiRoad of a Street Triple R 2024, around 10k km on them. The rear are almost done, i can see the consumption mark is almost leveled, they are also squaring a little since the season is over and i only do city commuting now. But the front? I cant see the wear indicator anywhere and they dont seem to be squared, whats your opinion? Should i change both? If i pick another rear ContiRoad can i keep the front?

Recently had an accident. From the damage caused and the injuries I sustained I can safely say that it was a serious one.

The only thing is, I have no idea at all what happened. One minute I was there on my bike riding down the street, then all of a sudden I woke up unable to move trapped under a car.

I’m thinking maybe my brain blocking out the trauma, or I genuinely fell asleep on the bike and that’s why I crashed?

Been trying to trigger some memories of it lately but with no luck.

Interested to hear other peoples stories and experiences with this phenomenon and maybe even some tricks to help me remember.

Thanks

Want to buy limited edition Alpinestars supertech r boots x assc size 9 us

I was talking to a friend of mine about my plans for after i get my taxes back. My bike needs a little bit of work ( new stator, regulator/rectifier, fluid change and battery ) my plan was to get it running, then buy gear followed by getting my permit. My buddy said that i do not need to get my permit in order to get my license as long as i get my MSF cert. He said as long as i have that i can just walk in and get a full license. Is that true? :: for context im in Indiana

Hi all, I have been blessed with a large bonce. The trouble is, finding a helmet that fits! I currently have a HJC but its a pretty poor fit. So i'd ideally like a flip up/maybe one that converts to open face.

Head measures 62cm but the helmets I've tried barely go on and if they do get pain in my temples soon after.

So any suggestions in the UK for big lids and from where?

thanks thanks

Looking for size 8.5-9 preferably

Today i was cruising along when I realized I could perform a clutchless downshift while keeping my throttle neutral.

• The bike in question is a Honda NC750XA 2018.
• I was riding near the lower speed range for the gear I was in.
• The downshift felt smooth, just a slight clunk without grating or jerking.
• I reproduced it a few times to ensure it wasn't a fluke. Was able to go down sequentially, from 4th to 3rd to 2nd all while keeping my throttle neutral.

I thought clutchless downshift required you to blip the throttle, the opposite of clutchless upshift which required cutting the throttle momentarily. So is what I'm experiencing normal, or is it a sign that something is wrong with my transmission?

I've got about 3 years of riding experience under my belt, right now I ride sport bikes only but my next bike I want to change it up with a dual sport/supermoto/dirtbike. I don't know anything about them but I do live in the country and my girlfriends family all exclusively ride dirtbikes on dirt trails but not really mountains. Now I am looking for something that's big enough for me (190lbs 6ft) and is good on streets for town commuting. I probably won't hit the highway on it since I have my other bikes for that kind of commuting but if I can ride the highway a little bit that's even better. I'm not worried about maintenence too much as I work on all my own bikes with my uncle who runs a bike shop. My budget is very flexible as well. I've seen many videos of supermotards and endures recently and have been liking the idea of one more and more so any suggestions are welcome. I also already have dirtbike gear so budget is solely for bike. Thanks guys

Ps I love researching bikes so the more options the merrier

buongiorno a tutti, da tempo che sto riscontrando un problema con il mio kayo 125, come è scritto nel titolo se chiudo l'aria mentre è in funzione si abbassano i giri e poi si spegne. ho provato a pulire il carburatore (nibbi 19) ma niente da fare, pulito il filtro ma stesso esito, l'unico dubbio che mi viene è la carburazione... qualcuno può darmi qualche consiglio per questa situazione?

A few weeks ago I went to Honda for the regular maintenance of my Africa Twin 1100 (less than 4k km).

To pass the time they gave me the 2024 X-ADV and I loved it so much that I'm thinking of selling my AT and getting the 2025 XADV.

The AT is top heavy and feels cumbersome with the 21" front wheel, this is especially noticeable in the city. The X-ADV feels nimble, flickable, light... The exhaust sound is nice too and it's plenty fast for me.

Did anyone have a similar switch? How did it go?

I wanted to warn you all that the products designed by this company are not recommended. My experience can be summed up by this letter to them:

Hi,

Although I was initially very excited and optimistic about the 2024 ZX6R total protection package, I'd like to express my disappointment.  There were many things from the get-go that seemed unideal to me, but I brushed them aside as minor complaints.  Recently, however, my left slider began to droop, and despite my best efforts on the way back, fell off onto the road, despite being torqued to exactly the recommended specs.

On day 1 of receiving the package, I noticed a couple of things.

1. One of the red stickers for the fork slider was torn, removed, and reapplied, lopsided, on a separate sheet of paper.
2. There was dirty residue all over both handlebar ends.
3. The handlebar ends locked the throttle when screwed into the bar.  This was not due to overtightening.  It was the design of the bar end.  
4. The video showing installation of the sliders recommends only removing two screws from the fairings.  I followed the video and cracked my fairing.   It is absolutely not possible to do this with a torque wrench as they show on the video without cracking your fairings, unless you remove the entire side panel.
5. Both the bobbins (spools) screws and the engine mounting bolts were too short.  This is dangerous because if not fully threaded to OEM specced length, it decreases the amount of load that the bolts can hold.  This can result in both the engine drooping, and the bike falling off a rear paddock stand.

After airing these grievances, I'd like to ask for the length and diameter of the screws used to hold the left slider in place.  One of them I lost, because the vibrations of the bike unscrewed them (despite them being torqued to spec),  the other fell out on the highway and damaged the threads.  I now have to find a replacement for these bolts.  I am very disappointed in the quality of TST products and will not recommend or buy them again in the future.

Regards,

Hello,

I've been riding for 3 years without wearing a balaclava, no acne at all, the inner padding in most helmets along with the interior foam cleaners are filled with anti-bacterial stuff, so as soon as I started wearing balaclava, acne started to appear, even though I only use them like socks(one use and then wash).

most balaclavas are made out of polyester, and are low quality, are there any good ones that prevent bacterial growth?

Edit: Replace “degree” with “extent”.

Long story short, due to my motorcycle having an alarm that you cant turn off, the battery drains really fast. So I decided to put in a battery disconnect switch because I sometimes dont ride for a really long thing. And now everytime I reconnect the battery (via the switch), insert the key and start ignition, it struggles to do so. But quickly turning the key from on to off and then back on and then start ignition, the motorcycle start normally..

Is this normal when disconnecting the battery?

Own a '23 Yamaha MT03 with around 4500 miles on it. I replaced the rear stock Dunlop Sportmax gpr300 at around 3400 miles with a Bridgestone S22 because I punctured it and didn't trust it with a plug.

The bike feels its is going to slip out under me. The front tire seems like it has plenty of tread left the wear markers doesn't seem like its too worn out but I have little confidence going into corners anymore.

Ive been riding primarily highway since replacing it just due to commuting but, whenever I go through twisties I haven't gotten close to cornering like I used to.

Should I just replace the stock front? (Is the mileage enough for replacing anyways?)
And will replacing the front tire now that the rear has about 1000 miles on it affect anything for the worse?

I have two options Honda CB350 Hness or CB350. I am gonna anyone from these two options for me. I am gonna have 80% City ride and 20% highway ride. Suggest anyone of the bikes according to your own experience?

I currently have a Hawaii drivers license and am living in Texas I am a military dependent and am also going to college here. I was wondering if I would need to update my license to a Texas one in order to get a motorcycle license here. I know there is an exception for needing to update your license for military members and their dependents but I don’t know if that also applies to going out and getting a motorcycle license.

I don’t really get mail so it would be annoying to prove my residency if I do need to update so I really don’t want to.😭

Hi everyone, I’d like to start with moto vlogging , but I’m not quite sure how to properly connect my Insta360 X3 with my Sena 30K so that I can record audio in open mesh mode along with the video on the camera.

One option would be to record the audio through my phone. However, this causes issues during rendering because sometimes a few frames are lost in a new clip from the Insta camera. As a result, the audio and video wouldn’t align properly and would be out of sync.

I’ve spent the past few weeks trying to find answers in forums and on YouTube, but haven’t found anything solid yet, except for the Sena Meshport Red.

Switching to Cardo is definitely not an option for me. But if there’s no other solution, I might have to buy the Sena Meshport Red.

Does anyone has a good solution for this?

Hey guys, just changed my bike oil… I think I may have overfilled it and now my clutch is heaps heavier. Anyone know why or how to fix???
