KINDOY2

I saw the bike there in person a couple weeks ago while visiting a friend of 35 years who works there and has for as long as we have been friends. Its a consignment bike . Of course I didn't ride it but it looked nice...If they have it on their used bike floor you can feel pretty confident its good..they are particular and don't put junk in their showroom, and any bike they sell is never "cheap " and they aren't usually in any hurry to sell, new bikes are their thing.

2003-2005 Aprilia Tuono's use them as well....

The one that just failed me was Motion Pro..it lasted about 3 years of infrequent use. The one I had before that was Blue Point Digital..I think it held together 1.5 years.... Not like I abuse them..I don,t throw them around..I want them to last..but this last Motion pro has just decided last week to read 9-12 lbs high every time..:-(, The needle wont go back to zero anymore

Sadly, I havn't had much luck with any of the Blue-point stuff I have purchased over the past 10 years, I used to think it was very good.

Is there a consensus of opinion on what is the best quality tire pressure gauge. I have tried so many different ones over the years, and have always tried to buy the best quality..but so far I have never been able to find one that will last more than a couple years before it becomes inaccurate and worthless....very annoying! Has someone found an accurate and dependable one they like?

The Graphics can be found in this forum..the paint is very difficult to match, cost me $500 us..but it looked perfect.

side stand switch ? they can be finicky and cause weird problems.

This same scam is going on over on the AF1 Forum... I was looking for a part and put up a WTB..a new member to the forum contacted me thru PM he knew a guy who had it for sale and referred me to his e mail ...I e mailed the person he recommended and that supposed seller sent me a pictures of the parts supposedly on HIS bike. The thing he didn't realise it was one of MY old Aprilia's ( Ha Ha Ha) which I sold to a friend in Phoenix 5 years ago and still talk to all the time, so I called him and asked if he had sold the bike?..He said heck no...the guy had pulled the pictures off the internet!!..to use in his Scam..I didnt reply I just I reported them Both to the Moderator....

I had a similar situation after putting the Ram Clutch in the Scrua..The friction plate is slightly thicker..One of the things I did was to zip tie the clutch lever pulled to the bars and leave it while not riding it for the first several rides..I've done this with other bikes and it does help a little bit if their is any air bubbles in the line in clutch or brakes...over night they can slowly rise to the top. Another thing is , How many miles do you have on the new clutch? after I rode mine I noticed mine would just get slightly better and not drag as much and it began to find neutral a little easier.., I even intentionally slipped the clutch a little more than usual on occasion, It was suggested by an older and highly regarded mechanic friend of mine that it would get better after a couple of hundred miles..and it did...its about 80% better to the point it doesn't bother me at all anymore...... My 2 Cents

Thanks guys...It was a labor of love...( and $$$$)

Scura Love

Probably not ideal for the rear brake master either..imo

They were out of my normal budget as well , but now, over the past 2 years since I seem to prefer wear them the majority of the time when I ride I don't feel to bad about it ..I hate when I fork out the money and then they just sit in the closet.

The the Klim K42's have great armor in the knees and shins and removable hip armor as well and the jeans are kevlar.. And what I like is that they arent bulky and clunky looking like most armored jeans Klim K Forty 2 Straight Stretch Riding Jeans Blending road-ready protection with off-bike casual comfort, the K Forty 2 is a well balanced everyday riding jean.

I have owned most every major brand riding jeans...imo the best in fit and protection by FAR are KLIM K42.......

Great voice..and not difficult to watch with the sound off either!

Been for sale for 2 years..Very rough close up. Motor and transmission paint is gone...clutch original..etc,etc.

I thought V-100 is 115 HP..And nobody talks about how much it weighs? I havnt' been able to find that Spec anywhere?

Anything worthwhile just takes a little patience and thought right? Nice work!

I have arthritis in both thumbs from wrenching 55 years and doing martial arts for 30 of those and I have broken and re broken my left wrist 2-3 times ( cant remember) from back when I used to race scrambles and motocross.. My Scura with the RAM clutch is like a dream to pull..I can pull it with my little finger if I want to, I've tried it My 2022 Ducati is an extremely light pull as well, plus it came from the factory with a up and down Quick shifter, so about the only time I use the clutch it to put it in 1st from a stop, and sometimes from 1st to second, just to be more gentle to the gearbox. My MG California with the Cable clutch..will give you a workout though....1999 5 speed

Yup..I've had the Givi on a couple V-11's..If need be its not hard to shim them if your handy at all...its not like your hauling an automobile battery around in there ( I hope)

During the journey back to Spain, Marc Marquez began to experience discomfort with his vision and upon his arrival in Barcelona on Monday, he had an emergency visit to the Hospital Clinic de Barcelona with his trusted ophthalmologist, Dr. Sanchez Dalmau, who after an examination confirmed a relapse in the diplopia that the rider suffered last November.

I've owned both of the bikes you mention..I put tons of accessories on the Triumph..It was't bad looking and fun for a minute...but at the end of the day..It still felt cheaply made and a little boring...Resale sucks. If I had to choose ? I'll take any of the Major brand Italian bikes over any of the Major bikes made elsewhere..and I have pretty much had them all.
