Actually, the local shop by me sells tires at cost, and actually undercuts the internet. They make money on mounting and balancing only. Apparently business is pretty good because now they get all the tires in for mounting and balancing that people bought online, plus the ones they sell at the store.

All of the flat metallic colors that kawi did in that era are gorgeous, I'm honestly surprised no other companies copied that.

slidebite posted:Same here. Couple of pics just for interests sake: If you look that small bottom bolt is actually a pivot for some sort of anti-dive system that is applied with the force of the caliper being pushed forward when you apply the brakes.

On my B12 you could get the rack of carbs out of the engine before you had to take the throttle cables off, if you took them out of the right side of the bike. Is that not the case with the 600?

Mods namechange to Olde Weird Pro Tip, please As long as you didnt order the Edge 2, the Edge should bolt right up to the stock DRZ mount points. Did you order it from wheeling cycle?

Resource posted:I got it from Thumpertalk, since I wanted some other stuff from them as well. Is that good? Thats fine, I was just wondering. The original Edge has mounting points to mount right up to all the non-E DRZ's. The Edge 2 is universal and the one that works on the E's

Our riding game is not nearly that specific, and the challenges are mostly things you can do while out riding.

Gnaghi posted:Yeah there are a bunch of things people have done, from duct tape to bedliner to dynamat. I just have to pick one. Every few weeks a thread pops up in the DRZ section of thumpertalk along the lines of "HELP I INSTALLED A SKID PLATE AND MY ENGINE IS NOW MAKING THIS HORRIBLE SCREAMING NOISE". Apparently its both the engine noise being reflected off the plate, and the vibration of the plate itself. The DRZ dudes recommend dynamat, but I cant see why bedliner wouldnt work.

LOL @ that steering damper mount. Look how far that threaded piece sticks out from the skinny little mount. The first good twist of the forks is going to bend the poo poo out of that mount.

The scoring on the top of the piston suggests that something rattled around in there for a bit at least. I dont think thats valves since the hole is basically in the center of the piston, and you can see the reliefs towards the front and back of the piston, where the valves actually are, in the head. Thats not synonymous with a lean burn through either, as those tend to look like someone sandblasted a hole in the piston. My guess is you either sucked something in, or lost a chunk of sparkplug maybe?

I mean, it displays the speed in big chunky numbers, temp and various distances, along with errors in smaller numbers, what more do you want? It also has an analog tach in 1k rpm increments as God intended. Also in sv650 speedo news, I sort of want one of these: https://youtu.be/H76nNSTEA2c

HotCanadianChick posted:Got a source for cheap fenders? The lovely tiny turn signals on the rear hardly peek around the license plate (and are smashed up regardless), I'm definitely interested in getting a stock SV fender and lights setup to return it to functionality. Mine came with the stocker, so I've never looked, but I have to imagine you could get one cheap on eBay, or even for shipping on svrider.
