Did not know this, assuming it's cause they're ten lap tyres?
If you watch one of the races, when they show the slo-mo replay you can just see bits coming off 'em.

It's like a very short Moto3 race but quieter!

Anyone heard about the new Michelin Road 6? Apparently it's the Road 5 with better wet performance and longer tread life.

Boxer? I hardly know ‘er



(Thanks)
Hehe. And there technically is a distinction between a true boxer and a horizontally opposed setup, it depends on if they share a crankpin or not. If they share you could say it's a 180 degree V.

What exactly are these "Accessories 2.1" plugs hanging off the side of my Svartpilen 401 and can they be turned into heated grips or a USB charging port?
If you can see these, the accessories fell off.

In southern Ontario at least, Shell premium is ethanol-free, so I use it as the last fill up before winter storage.

I haven't had time to go in cold/wet weather yet, but the Road 5s are pretty much designed for it from what their product page sez. I was petty happy with the Pilot Road 3s I had on the Bandit for a couple highway/rain trips.

Stabilizer in the tank and run for a minute. Maybe slosh it around a bit.

Then just close the petcock, drain the bowls into a jar, and pour it back in the tank.

Anything I can do to repair some chips in my Suzuki's fairing? I thought about getting one of those colorite kits to fill in the paint at least, but sounds like it may not match well enough.

Around town I'm usually using as much of the tank up as I can, which basically means I'm always filling up on the way out of town lol.

Hey guys quick question. There's a part on my bike, silvery coloured. Might be metal? Anyway the silvery (metal?) part doesn't seem to be working, I think. Do you think that's something I can fix or replace myself, or should I just take it to a dealer? I'm OK with tools and stuff, just don't want to break it. Thanks!

The lowest I can get is E5. E10 is the norm. The first time I winterized my learner bike I filled it with E5 to the brim, the second time I just parked it with whatever was in the tank (i.e. E10, about half full)in cold storage, and it ran a bit rough come spring and even stalled once until I topped it up with fresh gas. Ethanol has all sorts of nasty side effects.
That's why stabilizer exists

The DOT standard just needs to go away. I'm not sure why Canada uses it besides :capitalism: It hasn't been updated in almost 50 years.
Because America. Why re-invent the wheel when your biggest trading partner has a perfectly useless standard you can adopt for free?
