  1. Usually 17 or higher. Still, the fact is the wheel did creep.
  2. How do you prevent tires from rotating in low pressures?
  3. So, the front tire on my xr400 has slowly been slipping over time, last time it properly pulled the tube valve into the wheel and now I need to order some tire levers to take the tire off and see about fixing it. I am going to order a tire lock to replace the existing one that is clearly not working ok even though it is tight. Can anyone tell me the size I should order? It's the stock front wheel on a 2003 XR400. Any recommendation or are they all more or less all the same? My local shop sells MotionPro. While I'm at it, I have been carrying O2 cannisters with my puncture repair kit on the GS when on trips. Can anyone recommend a small electric tire pump that can be run with alligator clips from the battery? I want something tiny for an emergency but at the same time don't want to buy something too crap that will burn out after 1 minute and leave me stranded.
  4. Does this air system just dilute polution from the engine with clean air from the intake?

  7. Here it’s getting colder again but the sky is blue so I don’t complain.
  8. That’s really creepy and gloomy, great looking road though
  9. It's a lovely feeling when a boat starts to go from digging the propeller to plane
  10. No, but my mum went to have her hair done a few days ago, and her hairdresser called to warn he has been tested positive today. I'll be really pissed off if I get it on account of hair dressing when I'm fucking bald!
  11. I had a covid test done before lunch, I think the dude tried to swab my brain

    What's the thing with owning two of the same bike, @Renegade? I have been close to doing it once, that's why I ask
  13. Should we create a background resistance network?
  14. I love this. On one side they made a bike with an out of the dealer lower power output than the old version to comply with emissions requirements. On the other side they built a motor specifically prepared to endure being highly tuned and raced
  15. I do appreciate they have grip. They are fine in the wet and I've ridden extensively in rain on them, they are fine when leaning over too, they are smooth and quiet and comfortable, it's just a feeling of unsafeness I feel when entering some corners, for example after a stretch on the motorway and you're just starting to lean on an exit for a moment it feels like there might be oil or something on the road. I never did really slide though, it's just a weird feeling. Our bikes are very different and we ourselves are too, I wouldn't go as far as saying those tires are bad for everyone when I doubt myself enough when I complain about them. I even have this nigling sensation it might be a suspension setup thing.
  16. And the quad lock also has a vibration dampener now, to help with the possible camera damage. It's expensive but I think it's worth it.
  17. I am very happy with the quad lock I have on my bike. Attaching the phone on and off is very quick, super secure, and to top it it is really tiny and doesn't become a nuisance when the phone isn't there. I would have no other system.
  18. I have taken off tires to fit more 50/50 ones for going to Morocco, but eventually I never bring myself to fit back a tire with 2 or 3 thousand kms left in it.
  19. As old as you I think He's ok now, looks younger than he did 10 years ago while getting more annoying with each passing year! The thing with epilepsy appearing as an adult is that it is a lot more difficult to diagnose, and the only real way to confirm a diagnosis is to have the medication work, which in itself is a trial and error method since the smallest of dosage change or even the drug's lab affects how it works, for about a year or so he went through a tough time, and then while the dosage was being adjusted to the current level he went through a very intense side effect in mood, with fits of rage and depression in a very short period, I mean minutes or hours not days. But now it's like nothing is wrong as long as the pills are taken. In the words of his doctor: "deal with it, whatever is wrong with him now is not treatable " Thing is, the heart attack made him stop smoking, and the epilepsy drugs mean he is ok but can't drink because alcohol affects the treatment, so his health problems have forced him to be healthier.
  20. I didn’t buy them to skimp, was excited to try some more sporty tires but turns out they don’t fit me.
  21. There are plenty of things more soul destroying than lack of trust in tires. Wasting tires, I hate wasting tires!
