Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: It took less than two weeks...

I had an 18 wheeler's tire explode next to me once. Louder than a crack of thunder followed by a hailstorm of rubber chunks. I give them a wide berth now. On Aug 17, 2016 21:02, "'mike21222' via Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" < nighthawk_lovers@googlegroups.com> wrote: > Agreed. I won't pass

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: It took less than two weeks...

Agreed. I won't pass until there's room to completely clear the vehicle in the right lane, unless your hung up in traffic of course. In fact I tend to wander when I pass certain vehicles. For instance when passing large trucks, or smaller trucks with loose or questionable loads, I will

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] 17T sprocket fitment issues

Okay thanks for the pointers, I feel as though I may be too tight as I noticed a *slight* bit of noise from the chain area after the swap. I think I could run it as is and be okay but I'd rather have it set exactly right. -Dan On Wednesday, August 17, 2016 at 2:49:16 PM UTC-5, Kurt Nolte

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] 17T sprocket fitment issues

3/4" total travel sounds as tight as I would ever want a chain. If you hear buzzing you are definitely too tight! I kept mine around 7/8" I believe; it's been a while since I've needed to do a chain tension. Agreed on the 17T for using your gears.I loved the change, even though my commute at the

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] 17T sprocket fitment issues

Kurt, How exactly do you determine what is "spot on" when it comes to chain tension? Right now I have it set to have roughly 3/4" free play up and down. It doesn't hang or sag or anything. I noticed the clutch definitely requires more finesse now, but I actually don't mind it. Hills aren't

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: It took less than two weeks...

I agree about not riding in a car's blindspot, and the fallacy of the "loud pipes save lives" theory. And while I take the "everyone is trying to kill me" approach, I don't have an "us vs them" mentality since I still spend the majority of my time in a cage rather than on a bike. The difference I

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] 17T sprocket fitment issues

The 17T sprocket is basically as close to an interference chain as I think you can get. At least that's what I recall it being. Make sure your chain tension is spot on. You'll need to feather more clutch starting on hills too. Kurt On Aug 17, 2016 11:22 AM, "Dan Molenhouse"

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: It took less than two weeks...

Staying constantly alert and riding defensively is always good advice, but I personally detest the phrase "ride like everyone is out to kill you." I've seen far, far too many people turn that into "I'm on a bike, everyone is out to kill me" and becomes very bitter about "cages" and "cagers." It's

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: It took less than two weeks...

I can definitely sense that countersteering will be second nature at some point. When I was riding recently I was in a curve *exactly* like the one I went down in, and I had the exact same brief panicked feeling I did when I crashed, but knew what to do and it was no problem. It rained the day

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: It took less than two weeks...

There is a lot to think about, but things like countersteer shouldn't be one of them. The more you practice it the more it just happens without thinking. The main thing to think about while riding is how exactly every single other driver on the road is planning to kill you. MSF teaches you to

Re: [Nighthawk Lovers] Re: It took less than two weeks...

This thread has been immensely helpful to me as I get back on the "horse." There is so much to think about when riding. I'm still getting used to that, and perhaps always will be. This weekend I spent some time in an industrial park riding in circles and it was extremely enjoyable. I told my wife

Those are getting harder to find, but they turn up on eBay every now and then. The good news is the decals are easier to get so if you happen to find a blue one you can just get it repainted and swap on the red decals. -Kyle On Tue, Aug 16, 2016 at 4:22 PM, Jonathan Cawley <
