That sounds like a difference in air pressure. Also, a new tire will be stickier than an old one. At 23000km those stock skins were probably wearing pretty thin which would decrease resistance. I'm assuming that you had the Dunlops as OEM, which would be a single compound tire. The PR series...
Pics. Because it happened
Oh yeah and we got a free tailer to haul the dirtbikes. So currently there are 9 bikes, 6 cars, and 1 trailer..... we really need to get rid of a few things.... or build a barn/shed (in the works). The garage is a mess right now from cleaning and fixing stuff on my new...
I'm gonna start by saying holy crap it has been a while since I've been on the site:ban:
Anyway there are quite a few updates to the stable (and we are still on team blue):
- 2 New 2013 YZ450F motocross bikes (mine & dad's)
- 1978 Old Wing (dad's)
- 2012 Victory Boardwalk (dad's Pirate...
Fly makes really good products. they came on the scene about 8 years ago, and offered really kick @$$ products for killer prices to build a reputation. their prices have since gone up to match the competition since they are now an established company, but the products are still good quality. if...
hold up a second. red is the sexy color. blue = FAST(EST) color
black = boring
silver = old
and yeah it still looks a bit budget, but at least it has a centerstand.
id really like a 750 version of the fz6. about 115-120hp, and the same ergos, size, wheelbase, and weight. the 750 has...
then just get some nice soft sidecases. if you dont need big, then there is no reason to have a topcase. save yourself the money and hassle of buying the rack and other crap and get some of these i have them and i can get 4 days worth of clothes for 2 people in them. that plus a little bit more...
for highway/distance riding add a few PSI, but otherwise its better to run to spec. for better grip. your wear and mileage wont suffer if youre hitting the backroads.
as far as air flow goes. its meant for a more upright position than a race helmet. in the video he refers to it as a "race fit" which is just how tight the cheek pads are. this means its safer but your mouth will hurt if you try to talk to much with the helmet on, or you might bite your cheeks a...
as far as room goes, i wouldnt be worried about the forks and wheel so much as the radiator. but im assuming you looked into that.
and for the swing i would try to run the R1 swing to get that wider 190 section under the bike.
have you thought about butterfly dumps for the exhaust? then...

I would make a New Jersey joke but that would be a bit much at this point. Did they at least tie a helmet on? (TLDR)
touchy or choppy would be the words i would use to describe the FZ's throttle. honestly i feel that it is pretty loose and that it needs tightening, even after taking the slack out. really its just makes you that much better. even though we did have one member on here who apparently was some...
or you could get a used volvo S60R with the 6-speed. they have a haldex diff which usually mean's that its tuneable to a point. not to mention that Volvos are extremely underrated in the handling dept. Good chassis and soaks up bumps pretty well. leave it to the Sensible Swedes to make something...
unless they look perfect or obsessively taken car of, i dont buy street bikes used. dirt bikes can be stripped/fixed/whathaveyou pretty cheap, and most of the time life is not on the line whilst rinding one. however a street machine is quite the opposite in all of these ways. Also since SS bikes...
i know this car is a little more expensive than your 25k mark but have you looked into the Acura TSX wagon. It has the same 201hp 4cyl as the civic Si, but it is exponentially nicer, it is much bigger, and best of all IT'S A WAGON. but the TSX that exists in the US is the same as the Accord that...
