Try some Dunlop Roadsmarts. They still have plenty of grip to get your knee down, still made in USA, and they'll last 3-4 times as long.

There have been a few Radial MC threads but I haven't seen one with the hand guards mounted, so I thought I'd share.
I bought a Radial MC from a 2008 CBR-600RR.
This is a 11/16" master cylinder,...
Cool video, thanks for sharing.
He's right, the seating position is really similar to a Hypermotard 1100.
They feel almost the same to ride except the Hyper has a much higher redline and smoother...
I just did a 4000+ mile trip to Wyoming and back a month or two ago.
I used my phone to navigate. What I do when it rains is put the phone in my tank bag and listen to directions on earbuds. Or...
Siverrider, I'd found that website but all the Race files are for the BUEGB hardware.
I have a USB to serial based cable for my laptop and an ECMspy license.
Maybe I wasted my money and should...
I checked the codes and the only stored code is O2 sensor inactive, which is annoying because I installed a new one this spring. Guess I'll recheck the connection.
Since there was nothing ECM...
So when you say map you're meaning more than just the fuel and spark tables, the whole firmware config.
The quick shifter settings are currently greyed out on my BUEIB ECM.
I'm not finding a...
2007 XB12Ss 31,000 miles.
I was going for a ride this morning and I made it about a block before the bike died. The gauges work and the bike turns over but I could hear that the fuel pump wasn't...
Just to clarify, when you say a 'race map' is needed, you mean a 'race ecm' right? A physical race ECM has to be installed to support the Quickshifter feature?
There's no way to write anything to my...
Is it only when you are braking?
Sounds like the rotor floating. Not a problem until the rotor exceeds runout tolerances or you feel pulsing in the lever.
Maybe I was steered wrong.
I do seem to recall the exposed metal on mine being darker though, and having sort of a speckled appearance with flecks of lighter and darker metal inside, not to...
Glad to hear you got the bike back.
Don't bother trying to get the seat rail welded.
Mine was cracked by some asshole riding it into a ditch (me) and I took it to several welders.
They all...
Oh yeah but remember, frame = VIN = title. Could be a pain depending on your DMV.
You can try bondopuckification, but I imagine there will always be an irregularity on that side because the aluminum is now stretched, and working at it too much will make it brittle.
If it was...
A 'worm' plug from the outside can pop back out, a flat patch on the inside will still let water and dirt get in and rust any belts exposed in the hole.
If it's a brand new tire you can't bear...
Mine did this at > 70mph, ended up being the exhaust valve sensor. I believe the high velocity of gas at that speed prevents the valve from opening or closing properly and triggers the alarm.
What...
I just installed the kit from American Sportbike.

It came with the inner part, the outer part, and 3 stainless fasteners. It...
I don't know what he likes, but if I ever go to the trouble of pulling to header off I'm going to send it somewhere to get ceramic coated.
That provides some insulation to keep the exhaust temps...
I'm anti-shinko based on experience. The Previous Owner put a Shinko Raven on the rear of my XB12Ss and it felt like it was made of hard plastic when the weather was cold or wet.
I've got Pirelli...
I've got an Ss as well.
Here's my rough process for dialing in a fork.
Get a large zip tie, zip it around the fork tube and slide it up against the seal.
Sit on the bike, lean it off the...
Let go of the brake lever.
That's like "I was drinking and cleaning my gun and it just spontaneously shot one of my balls off".
Unless you've got a warped rotor or something you probably just applied too much pressure too...
That's why I bought the kit on ASB which has the flexible heating elements that go under the grip.
I also bought a handlebar mounted high/low/off switch, an inline fuse, a 30A relay, and wired the...
I ride to work every day that it's above 34 degrees and not raining.
As for mileage, for the purposes of BUYING I would consider anything over 10k worthy of deeper than usual inspection and...
Yeah I think Stoner is the obvious favorite now, if he wasn't already.
Lorenzo was pretty happy with 2nd place.
If he keeps up that kind of performance he may defend his title against 'crashy'...
