I drive in TCS mode 1 and drive mode 1 on the most aggressive settings and for the life of me I can’t get the bike up from power wheelies. Any advice? I don’t want to practice clutch ups until I’m comfortable controlling the bike from a power wheelie

@tankslapmoto999917 күн бұрын
I just fancied a change at the time more than anything, I had owned a few v twins prior to the Monster and was looking for a bit more refinement, something that was still fast but maybe a bit less "big V twin" at slow speeds (not that it is that bad at low rpm, it is fairly smooth compared to some v twins). I actually couldn't bring myself to properly sell it, my father now has it, I rode it just the other week and I couldn't believe how nice it was to ride.

Any regrets now that it is gone?
@tankslapmoto9999Ай бұрын
No regrets (yet😄). It was a great bike, but I think the middle weight segment might be more enjoyable for me on the road. The Tuono could be a bit intense when you start winding it out on the smaller roads, the middle weight bikes are generally a bit less serious and more playful at lower speeds (for me)

A return to the CP3! Do you still have the aprillia? Out of interest why choose the xsr over the new gen Mt-09? Have you had a chance to compare the gen 3 verses your old gen 2 Mt?
@tankslapmoto9999Ай бұрын
Back on 3 cylinders! The V4 Aprilia has gone (I can't keep them all, unfortunately) but my brother still has the 660 Tuono. I chose the XSR over the new MT09 just based on looks, but the new MT is definitely a step in the right direction, especially the SP. I haven't had a chance to try one yet, but I suspect that the changes to the riding position will make it feel more sporty and increase the front end feel over the previous gen.
@morri03Ай бұрын
How does it handle compared to the MT09SP with its Tracer swingarm etc.. did you consider the XSR900GP?
@tankslapmoto9999Ай бұрын
It handles a bit better than the Gen3 MT09 in my opinion, it has a more dynamic riding position with better front end feel, plus the longer swingarm allows the bike to accelerate harder with less wheelie. It will still lift the front on command but it just feels a bit more grown up, compared to the MT. I actually went to the dealership to put a deposit down on the XSR GP, but I ended up doing a deal on this one, I kinda always fancied one since it was released.

Insightful video and I’ll be definitely be studying the transcript to become fluent. Just waiting on delivery of my MT-09 SP 2023 (200 miles) and as a result was thinking that having the correct tools onboard for making the correct adjustments to accommodate expected changes in riding conditions might be a good idea. I see the slotted driver is pretty standard but wondered what size(s) Allen Key and whether that’s part of the tool kit provided? Thanks for the video 👌

@tankslapmoto99992 ай бұрын
Yeah I run slightly lower than standard pressures, but they do wobble at speed, I think it is just the nature of knobbly tires where the blockes squirm around. Sometimes you will see that on certain tires the knobs are linked together to give more rigidity (the Dunlop trailmax raids for example)
