    Snow is bullshit

    ...the heck is the point of that? There's no snow on the ground.. I guess there's always the Dunlop Mutants, they are mud and snow rated.

    What's that old website where people submit their highest mileage motorcycles?

    Hell yes!! I've been looking for this for over an hour now. I even fired up my old "vfrworld.com" account to dig through their forums too...

    What's that old website where people submit their highest mileage motorcycles?

    I have no idea where it is now, but I used to know of a website I found in which people basically submitted their make/model/year of a motorcycle then how many miles they had and any issues they had. Does anyone know what it is? This was not that long ago, maybe a year. I logged my Interceptor...

    Drive train "crashing" when engaged on a cold engine

    Mine does it too. This bike's gearbox loves to just randomly sound like someone's chucking 10mm sockets at a metal toolbox. I worried too until I heard a brand new 2022 one do it lol

    Snow is bullshit

    Those tires would look absolutely comical on an FJR haha. It's way heavier and more fragile than something I'd like to try and muscle around in the snow anyways. I think I'll just stick with avoiding the snow until the aforementioned small ADV bike plan can happen

    Snow is bullshit

    First snowfall here. I can really tell these tires are bald now... Does literally anything with the throttle, bike responds with a burnout.

    Snow is bullshit

    Some people are fair weather riders, I openly lack any common sense, so we're going for this

    Snow is bullshit

    Yeah lol. I would not and cannot afford to buy a brand new bike, was going to find one a couple years old and put enough cages on it that I could just show up and lay er down like a kid getting off a bicycle. Awesome on those tires.... 100% bookmarking. Agree on studded tires and that's why I...

    Snow is bullshit

    I want like two feet of snow once or twice in December or January. That way I get to see it and feel like I bought my truck tires for a reason. Then it can thaw out and the 4 month period of everything being dead and brown and cold and dark can end.

    Snow is bullshit

    Next winter I am going to try and get a small ADV bike, like a KTM 390 or BMW G310GS, and I'm going to learn how to ride in the snow with it. Likely using snow skis like the swedish, or even studded tires

    2007 waits until water pump failure doesn't create a disaster

    Yeah... I'm sure the amount of vehicles damaged by people using incorrect fluids is like 25x less than vehicles damaged by "lifetime fluids" and just not being able to check the level of or quality of the fluids. OEMs don't give a shart about us using the wrong fluid, and heck, the wrong fluid...

    Incriments On The Fjr Temp Gauge

    Hey, let's revive this old as hell thread for a second time. I want to know a specific ballpark of what temperature my Gen 2 is running at. I've been riding below 30 the last few days and occasionally the bike does not hold the usual 4 out of 10 bars and sits at three. I've even seen it take...

    2007 waits until water pump failure doesn't create a disaster

    What coolant do you run? I just put the advance auto asian whatever in my bike. I knew about the no silicate thing before, so hopefully I made sure it didn't have it...

    Ebay special Kawai H2SXSE

    This is almost entirely unrelated to your post. But can somebody explain to me why oh why in the world do they call/advertise the H2 as sport touring bike? Same with the Ninja 1000. It's just a liter bike.

    2007 waits until water pump failure doesn't create a disaster

    Yeah. Bah. I only have enough time to be a barfly in one internet forum. I'll take care of it when I get to it. I don't expect real advice about that here

    2007 waits until water pump failure doesn't create a disaster

    It's a vehicle made after 2010 (2018 Tacoma) so it probably just says everything is lifetime just like every other vehicle. Transmission fluid, brake fluid, coolant, differentials, freaking motor oil lol. My transmission doesn't even have a dip stick.

    2007 waits until water pump failure doesn't create a disaster

    I see. I've heard it also becomes acidic after about 3-5 years and should be changed even if it's clean. My truck is about there now.

    2007 waits until water pump failure doesn't create a disaster

    When I purchased it, my bike had off brand coca cola for coolant. No, I'm not kidding

    2007 waits until water pump failure doesn't create a disaster

    I rode a brand new versys 650 at the demo day a couple weeks ago. Holy freaking hell, I've never been so eager to get back on my own old ass bike. I could whine about that 12,600$ bike for a while...
