@Legend57. Жыл бұрын
Im new to these but if im being honest, If my goal is seat time, I'd rather buy a used bike with proper brakes and suspension from the get go and upgrade components as I get better coz messing about with this will not only take alot of time to put together and setup, it'll probably cost just as much or more than buying one not to mention when you crash, you have to start the process of sourcing, buying and setting up allover again... Depending on your budget, used bikes like KTM 690R, 790, 890s and 890 Rs, pre facelift MT09 and MT09 SPs, GSX-S750s and 1000s, Street Triples, TONNES of supermotos etc come with decent enough suspension and brakes for 99.9% of riders. And If Im on a tight budget or a beginner, I'd rather get a cheap bike leave it stock and or do the catridge and rear shock upgrade, pads, lines, rotors, tyres, exhaust and ride the bike for what it is. Im not saying im right, this is just how I would go about doing things...
@wombatmoto1938 Жыл бұрын
This definitely isn't the smart or practical thing to do. If you want more performance you'd be better off with tuning the stock components. This isn't my only bike so I'm not super worried about seat time. It would be a lot easier to find a comparable size bike for at if not below what I paid for this

Yeah. If it was for the track it would have been some clip-ons, some springs, and a really nice rear shock. Really I just blast around the countryside by my folks house and back and forth to work
