I wear earplugs all the time on my 900, but its speed starts where the monkey basically stops.

Do you all still wear earplugs just boppin around town and neighborhoods 20-35? I didn't for my first ride, probably will anyway, but it was nice and a little more visceral as well as quick hello's and chats when u stop.. maybe some headphones would be alright. I usually ride in silence.

pic for monkey tax. 1st ride, $5400 out the door, tax, an actual hard tag i was surprised, and registration all in.

can you hold the shifter up to "clutch in" to shake numb hand?

Can you lift the shifter say you are in 4th as a "clutch in"? Looking at a mini moto, but i have numbness issues i am working on with my throttle hand. I have cruise on my z900 so i can rest it plenty, and on older bikes i would hold the clutch in for 10 seconds or so.

I have read how the 4spd shifts and wonder if i could do this when cruising on a straight?

thx, I really like the dax, but might have to go monkey for the clutch but I liked being able to scoot back further on the dax..

Can i convert my 25 z900 to the RS version? tank lights tail seat.

title says all.

I am looking at the revzilla parts diagrams and comparing what i can compare. but not really sure how much they are alike under the surface if this is possible without spending past the limit of it being reasonable.

thx.

can i get close to a monkey seat on the grom? my 1st mini moto

Monkeys used are non existent. groms are 3k anywhere used around me all day. I have a mini moto itch and I wanted a z125 to compliment my z900, but after sitting on one at the dealer a used 2017?19? it was miserable. I loved the monkey i sat on but its 5500ish OTD easily for a new one after fees.

I would love to scratch that mini moto itch and even considered a clone but 100lbs heavier is a turnoff.

At nearly 50 and 220lbs , comfort is my choice when im looking at bikes that are easy on my carpal tunnel and back issues.

thx
