I have a rear stand. That shouldn't be a problem. I've just not worked on the bike quite like this before though.
I changed the stock horn to something that is a little louder. I was barely getting notice from cagers on the road with the stock horn.
Not yet. I'm not sure what I need or how to do it :D.
I just installed a replacement electric horn for the bike to make it safer. I haven't made any time to look into the forks.
I really do like what the R3 has to offer, but I figured if I were to change bikes I might as well go with something that has ABS.
As I said in my post above this one, I have been riding more frequently since the weather has gotten nicer. I do enjoy the stability it offers. However, I can't...
What are you even talking about? How can you possibly make an assumption like that? I haven't even replied for 5 days now. I asked one follow up question. How exactly am I dragging this topic out for my entertainment?
I was giving you direct answers to your questions of me as well as the others...
It's not just turn in. It's just overall manipulation of the bike. I feel like I'm just a tad small for this bike, or maybe it's my overall strength. I'm not sure. Either way, I'm not comfortable.
I've been tossing the idea around to either get a dual sport or a smaller street bike. I believe I still want to stay with a street bike. I have an inclination that something smaller or rather that is lighter would be better suited for me. My guess was that I'd become a better rider if I could...
Hey all,
I was just testing the waters out. I've been riding my bike for about 3 years. I've only put about 3k miles on her. I've been contemplating getting a CBR250 or 500. It's not that I want more power, but I think a slightly lighter bike would give me some added confidence. I am sort of a...
Hey all, I'm wanting to sell my like new Dainese Racing C2 jacket. (The D1 is the newer version) It's a size 44 and it is in the color scheme black / white / red. It's only been worn about several times. It's in immaculate shape. I thought I was going to be able to use it in the cold, but I...
I've let friends and even the Yamaha dealer ride the bike. Nothing is wrong with it. It's just a sensation I get when I lean too hard. If I push the bars too far to one side I'm sure gravity will take over and it'll just fall over. That's basically the feeling I get when I'm already in a lean...
For me, 40 MPH, is a tough call on the ramp I showed you. I just don't lean/turn hard enough. I seriously feel like the bike is going to fall over when I turn hard at slow speeds. Anywhere under 50 MPH, I don't turn hard because I serious can feel the "balance" of the bike.
That's a nice video...
This is one of the on-ramps near my house that I absolutely hate going on because I have to slow down to about 20-25 mph. You're all saying that the bike can handle a turn like this at 55 mph? I guess I had to see it before I could truly believe it.
I always did well in the MSF course. I looked...
Okay, so I have a few questions in regards to how you all experienced riders take your sharp and moderately sharp corners.
I guess you could say I still have some corner fright even after riding for 4 years.
Sometimes sharp corners do come up rather suddenly on the highway. I'm wondering, what...
