Welcome to ownership of a Tiger 900. Regard your mirrors - recommend you stay with the present set up and take some time learning the new location. If you do an off road course you will spend time standing up and having the mirrors high is beneficial. I am also in the process of going to after market mirrors - getting the Doubletake mirrors adventure kit. More robust if you lay the bike down plus can fold out of the way if you need. I also prefer the coverage over the stock which are not bad. I rode to Alaska from Colorado and back last summer and was getting over 250 miles between tank fills and never put in more than 18 liters (4.75 US gal)- capacity is 20 liters (5.28 US gallons for my bike). Enjoy the ride.

I decided to keep current mirrors and leave them the way they are. This is different riding than a Harley. And for me, more fun.

is there a microphone inside the helmet whose output is being piped to the chin mounted POV camera (GoPro ?). If so- is it covered via some kind of 'dead cat' noise suppressor etc?
@frankmoralesiii690818 күн бұрын
Yes I have a microphone inside the helmet. I taped it in place to the front inside and just a bit to the right side of my mouth. I also put a Dead Cat over the mic to reduce wind noise. I then ran the mic cable to the outside of the the helmet and plugged it into a GoPro Mic adapter. Then the adapter plugs into the go pro. NOTE: I am thinking of changing to DJI action 5 cameras because the GoPros have been unreliable. They freeze or turn off and in some cases just won't turn on. They are not old cameras either.

I know everyone on here is going to tell you how silly it was to put tyre shine on, but hey, we are all human. I do want to warn you that simply washing your tyres won't fully fix it. Unfortunately, tyre shine is silicone, and the silicone will soak into the rubber. Your only fix is new tyres. Sorry to tell you that, but I would rather you were safe. There are quite a few people that have done this and found out the hard way. There are videos on KZbin of others warning about it, and those videos have all said the same. The tyres need to go. Stay safe, buddy.
@frankmoralesiii6908 Жыл бұрын
Thanks for the input. I scrubbed the heck out of the tires with a stiff brush, very hot water mixed with dawn soap and vinegar. I did this twice. Once the tires were dry I put on all my safety gear and I took the bike to a large empty parking lot so I could make some hard right and left turns. Looks like my cleaning worked because the bike did not slip out from under me. The tires gripped the tarmac.
