Yes, a proper look with the beak. Nice.

My wife doesn't accuse me of leaning and using the racing line, but I certainly do it.

Glad I didn't make it that first year.

This!

I don't have a dog in this fight but I'd think a lowered bike would need it even more.

I'm jealous

I had 15,000 miles on my FJ09 that I traded. Stock chain with a lot of hard pulls out of a lot of curves. And lots of cleaning with a grunge brush.

Yeah, but its not an 889 cc engine. Add the bore job and new pistons and everything and the labor. I said if you're going to 890 cc. Its only a thought exercise anyway.

Not too many less shekels if you're going up to 890 cc.

How much for the hand guards? Oops, see earlier post that they're sold. Thanks anyway

True. I could start it with my hand.

I usually use Std mode. The engine is fine on this bike, the stock tires and stock suspension need to go. I can ride it fine in A mode but again, it ain't power that's the problem.

And kickstart only. I loved my RDs though.

Thanks

Please elaborate. I've never heard of this.

Nick does go into that a lot actually but instead of calling it neutral throttle he calls it maintenance throttle.

The Pace is now the Pace 2.0. Really pushing the whole trail braking thing. I can trail brake but often I find I'm going the ideal speed and don't need the brakes then. After all, I'm not racing. Also, sometimes it might be nice to give the following rider a momentary brake light even if you don't need to slow down much. Especially when riding with someone new to riding or at least new to you.

Really. You think there could be bad gas in there from new after 8,000 miles?

I've ridden Push Mountains twice, in different years. I've never gotten the thrill out of it that others have.

Heck of a deal. I have a spare set of wheels and they pay for themselves in a tire change or two. Someone ought to jump on these.

That is a big jump.

Basically I just ride my Tracer in the twisties. I haul it south in my truck and ride it hard for 4-5 days. I've yet to get 2K out of a set of tires. I have a spare set of wheels with fresh rubber on and this helps me get the maximum mileage I can get out of a set of tires.

Hope I can say this without hurting the OP's feelings but with the mileage he's getting with the original tires, I don't think he's wearing one side out before the other. JMHO
