I always put regular 95 octane gas, when i tried premium 100 octane the bike felt a bit more agressive but the milleage seemed shorter.
Allthough the 09's triple is a high combustion engine that allows the higher-octane fuel use..
For me it's not worth the extra cost and from my Subaru's...
Feel sorry and so sad from "bad news"...
Wish you a full recovery as soon as possible !
Keep in mind that maybe you just escape from something worst..
Time for relax and enjoy your children for now Richie.
Hi Richie !
For light weight riders 68-70kg as me the font's sag is OK (less than or about 40mm) and because of the fact that the fork is not preloaded it doesn't have "forced" rebound's reaction.
Believe me, this work's fine when there isn't a heavy rider on seat and provides faster entry in...
Welcome to the forum and happy new year!
As i'm the same weight as you (68-70kg/150-154lbs) i suggest you until you find time to visit a specialist, to set the front springs preload at 6 rings showing (soft) and set the right leg's rebound reduced enough to avoid "pogo-stick" phenomenon after...
Wish you to enjoy your new MT and to discover its "supermotard" manners !!!
Snatchines of my bike is reduced after installation of a hi-flow air filter, after reducing throtle's free play and get used to bike's character..
I don't think that is a serious matter for a rider experienced on CB1000R !
Conti Attack's wear is faster than... smoke a cig:cool: try to find ratings compare to PR4..
Your "pack-rack" is for many uses... hope that was for easier stand-up wheelies. Thanks for the info.
Air filter is a cheap "must". if you like it as it is you don't need to reflashit..:eek:
Most of us allready know how good are the Michelin Pilot Road 4...
Allthough i have to say that is the most "hi-mileage" tyre i've ever use.
I'd change the OEM D214 at 9696km for PR4s which i kept them on bike till today.
My odometer was at 24.751km when i was visit tyre-shop in the afternoon...
Because of the bike is so light when were on dual riding the front has a lot less weight to press the wheel downforce.
If there is a side wind then the wobbling starts earlier, after 170-180km (110mph)
I've felt what you wrote many times...
The opposite symptom is when accelerating and the...
Add Tracer and the new XSR900... (i don't even mention MWT-9 leaning threewheeler..)
Take a look at Yami's site, allthough all the bikes are similar except... some "clothes" for nakeds.
welcome Janluke !
The 09 triple engine is magnificent.. i run it for more than 24.000 beautyfull kms
You just have to find what version of the bike covers your needs..
I've got Ohlins linear springs 9kg/mm in my fork. I use Denicol fork-oil sae5 400cc in each leg.. If i have more quantity of oil the more suffer for the o-rings after hard touchdowns when wheeling. After winter i'll change the fork oil and try something thicker as sae 7,5 Ohlins or WP. For the...
