Dallas and then Sedona Arizona. And up through Utah.

I'm doing a saddle sore 1000 between Dallas and az

>>17116261
That was the plan but couldn't.
Stretches of the 101 and 1 had been closed because of the land slides from record rain in many areas

because to go from one uncle's house in dallas and my other uncle's house in arizona is 998 miles, and I might as well do it while I am young and can withstand the discomfort of 1000 miles on a motorcycle in a day.

and I plan on cruising at about 90mph, with stops every hour and a half to two hours for gas and to stretch and to eat. I am getting a water bladder to route up to the helmet, as well as a seat bead thing and a really aerodynamic and good helmet (can't decide between shoei and arai

there is no "standard" anymore, what used to be standard is now retro and every new unfaired bike is a naked.

even the Bandit is a sport-tourer/naked so the SV surely is.

Why are upside down forks better than regular forks?

>>17116786
stiffer

>>17116786
Smaller tube at the bottom = less unsprung weight.

>>17116786
The less unsprung weight there is for the suspension to absorb and react to before the chassis, the more effective, precise and responsive it can be. The rising mass of the wheel and suspension needs to be absorbed before it transfers to the chassis, and THEN deal with the chassis.

Would you rather catch a bucket of water, or a bucket, etc poorly comparative analogy etc.

USD, just got it yesterday I don't have any pics yet and it's not quite dawn yet on the east coast. The 2017 comes standard with a slipper clutch that Yamaha sells for about 250$. That's the first big mod I'll probably do, can't beat an OEM slipper for 250$. The dealership had these stupid dualsport knobbies on it so I had them swap for a new set of street tires, guess they thought it was an adv bike.

I think the main reason most justify it is the wall thickness of the stanchion vs the female part. When in the non-inverted config the fulcrum point is higher at the thinner stanchion when inverted the fulcrum is at the much thicker and stronger shock body. They are in NO way necessary and on some bikes like ADVs might be a detriment as if the seal goes you will get fork oil all over your break components and gravity will force it out faster.

But they do look great, and there's a perception that anything without them is outdated shit.

>>17116830
Harley guys judge engines by sound and not much else.

If the bike has the power then great, but if I don't need to use it I won't. I would have thought that having a litre bike just means it can ride around easily and carry a passenger no problem all day.

Wheelies are effortless in 1st and 2nd

1st gear is absolutely brutal and I avoid it in traffic for safety because it just launches you.

No chance it's more wheelie happy than the 09 though.

after I was done I rode it round the block to see how it felt and I got almost no response from my rear brake

if a slider catches anything then most likely engine mount/frame would be bent or threads stripped.

chances that it will happen are very high if you go faster than I don't know 10-20mph?

everyone who saw that or experienced that aren't using frame sliders any more.

well, first of all the castle nut holding the spindle was corroded and tough as fuck to move
didn't want to use my impact gun because I couldn't find the right size socket, so that took a spanner, a hammer and elbow grease to undo
then the same shit for the rod that holds the brake drum in place, but I managed to find a socket that fit so thank god
then faffing around with those snail things on the notches, getting it as straight as I could then trying to tighten the nut with only one spanner
then realising I hadn't adjusted the brakes to compensate for the extra distance

If anyone's coming from the South on an even vaguely sporty bike, you absolutely must take the SS40. It's an absolutely beautiful road that I took 2 years ago after crossing Stelvio, huge sweeping bends climbing up a gentle gradient with smooth, sticky tarmac and not a speed camera in sight.
