How much % could you haggle for a used bike this time of the year?

I have six bikes saved in Autotrader and none of them have shifted in at least a month. GSX8R, RS660, CBR500R for reference. Any advice much appreciated.

Update: thanks for the feedback all, looks like the price is the price, dealers also need to make money after all.

Looking for a portable Bluetooth CD player that works with Pivi Pro

I have a P400e F-Pace and want to play CDs that are not on Apple Music. Is there a portable CD player that I can successfully use without any physical connection?

Simagic P-HPR constant vibrating - sugin SimHub

As per title - halfway through a race, my brake P-HPR started constantly vibrating and did not stop until I killed the power to the pedals (continued vibrating after race end and even quit the session). The 'Vibrate Pedals' is unticked in iRacing and I'm using SimHub, with all effects disabled in SimPro and only using gear change and ABS in SimHub.

Any ideas?

iRacing SimHub 'Traction loss' parameters to avoid vibrations when spinning out / crashing.

As the title suggests, I'm struggling to trial/error or find on the internet the right parameters (threshold, min force etc.) so that my pedal haptics (P-HPR) will not vibrate when I'm spinning off track / crash, and only on track.

Has anyone managed to find some good settings?

Knee slider leather patches

I don’t always want/need the sliders therefore am looking for black leather patches that I can velcro on after I remove the sliders. Any recommendations please? I’ve seen some that you cut to size but not sure if they’re good quality. I also saw a few that you stitch on but I want something that can be removed for when I want the sliders back on.

3XL helmets

I had to rush into buying a helmet today. Rocked up at my Mod1 prep and no suitable helmets were available from the training school (some big-headed person had probably ridden off with 'my' CBT helmet LOL). Luckily they're right next to a dealer with an accessory shop so I managed to try a very limited number of large helmets in stock. The problem is I have a head circumference of 61.5 cm but quite oval. HJCs were wide enough but not long enough, AGVs were narrow enough but too deep. Finally I managed to get the Duchinni D985 as only helmet they had in stock that fit well. It will do for now, but further down the line I would like to upgrade it to something a bit lighter and with more flexibility, e.g. for audio systems, etc.

I would be interested to know your experiences with such large helmets and oval head shapes, and any recommendations, given how limited the choice is at this size.

125 CBT, tall rider, Sports bike: are Yamaha and Kawasaki my best choices?

As the title suggests. Just passed my CBT and want to eventually go DAS onto a 650 sports bike. In the meantime looking for a first learner Sports to get used to the riding position. I’ve read the GSX and CBR have quite low seat heights. I’m 6ft1 and long legs (36” inseam).

Are my only choices between the Ninja 125 and R125? I’ve read the Yamaha is the taller bike but that the Ninja would work too. BTW I’m not considering Chinese, Italian or KTM bikes.

Could someone explain me the GT wheel

In a GT car you often have Brake Bias, TC1, TC2 and ABS settings. Yet the Zeus GT has no thumb encoders. On the contrary the Zeus Formula has the 4 encoders to cover these settings. Therefore apart from the shape of the GT wheel what is its purpose - am I missing a trick?

Is there a use-case for Dash Page 2?

I have Cockpit Misc > Dash Page 1 Prev/Next and Dash Page 2 Prev/Next both mapped out to 4 buttons in total but as of today have yet to find any use for Dash Page 2 - is there a car that uses this?

I just use Dash Page 1 to cycle between Race1 Race2 Qualy pages on e.g. GT cars.
