[Akilldema]

Where can I get one of those things?

motostrano.com

EVERYTHING supermoto can be had there...

It may also be a good idea to spend some time over at supermotojunkie, especially in their street tarders section. Lots of good info.

You're on crack. I've owned both Honda and Yamaha and there is no difference in reliability. I've owned Honda Dirtbiks for 25+ years and never had a non wear item go out.

Yeah I've been on SMJ since 04 or so. I posted there before here. Tye: you have any experience with larger gas tanks?

Nope, you can ask several attendees at Elite Trackdays about that...


If you're going to ride street though, I'd HIGHLY recommend it. As they do run out quick.

*BTW this as close to 03 as I can find for a chain slider

I think I found a guy with some used stuff I'll get one from. He also has a GPR stabilizer with top and bottom triples/steering stem for 450. Good deal? I'll prob get the tank after that stuff. 200$ for one is about the best deal I'll get, it looks like.

Ya a damper is a great idea on these bikes also if it sees high speeds(like above 80mph ) And if you don't like it, that's worth at least $250 used.

He just wants 200 for the damper, 250 for the triples/stem. Seems pretty fair. What's the best coolant to use? Trying to make sure it doesn't overheat if I get stuck in traffic.

See if he'll do $400 for both, simply because he can't sell one without the other I don't think.

No idea... I'd go with whatever manufacturer recommends plus a little extra water in the mix. Ideally though, you don't want to sit in traffic. It will overheat with a quickness if it's 90+ out.

The idea here is you use your newfound ride and skip around traffic. Lane split, grassy shoulder, curb hop, sidewalk, down stairs, up stairs... Hell supermoto's have an almost unlimited amount of options. Just no mud. They don't tend to fair so well in that unless you have the chunky 17" tires on.
