It doesn't for this bike. The motor is derived from an R6 but is DETUNED so its fuel requirements differ from those of its race-oriented donor bike. 87 AKI for me!

+1 (or rather +2?) Recently lubed my clutch cable for the first time and I couldn't believe how much resistance I tolerated lol. Lucky my friend and I swapped bikes and he told me from a fresh perspective or I would have never really noticed it needing it. Also my cable is adjusted out loose so...

Sounds like a good reason to add more torque over power then!! Enjoy the new wheels!

Was it his first bike? I know I'd love an FJ09 but I still haven't regularly maxed out first gear with my FZ6 in the almost three years owning it so I know I should not move up until I'm 110% not afraid of that power...because anything bigger would likely be that feeling all the time. I...

It's interesting you said that, my friend's first bike is a brand new FZ09 and he was complaining about how high his insurance premium is because everyone crashes them and then he went down last night on it while I was riding with him (he's more than fine, the bike however busted the bottom of...

It's tough to say...I guess do you want stupid instant torque or the most well rounded bike ever made lol

Congratulations...I think? lol What made you go with the Vstrom (650 I'm guessing?). Did you grow tired of having to rev up for more power?

First of all, hello everyone again! I haven't posted or even lurked here in a while but I hope to do more so now that riding season is slowly making its way back. It's almost June which means my annual re-up of insurance so here's one of my famous(?) threads on rate premium comparisons. ENJOY...

Looks awesome and just like my '07! Enjoy it!

Glad you're ok!! Now rest up to 100%!

My winterization is to ride on the rare nice days ;)

Well the a-hole went and cancelled my order after waiting forever for the cover, so I had to hit up Home Depot again (which feels better since I got it from there last time) Paid $39.97+Tax so $42.77. I'm not sure if it's just the others fading but these are really black and are more flexible...

Nice, if that lasts over 2 years I'd definitely consider it. It looks like a nice one. Unfortunately that seems to be only a European product, but I have my doubts they'd last any longer than all my "motorcycle" covers so far. Didn't think of that but yeah, that's another perk haha.

Ok so my cover has just started to rip the past month or so for roundness I'll say it lasted two years or just over that but that's far better luck than I've had with any "motorcycle" covers. I'm going to what looks to be the next generation of the same model number off Ebay for $36.20, a bit...

Updated, also changed the BT-023s to S20 EVOs
