Just got a bolt, am looking for stands for the winterime I know there's several options (wheel fork, lift jack, wheel chock)... What do you guys use personally?
Whats up yall. So I am very very interested in picking up a new 2025 R Spec model. Ive been watching video after video about it and it seems like a sweet ride for the price. Really the only question thats been on my mind and thats mentioned about the bike (maybe more so the older models) is the death wobble. To the '25 model owners, does it still exist? Whats the solution? The only event that ive had a death wobble on was on a turn that had a slick layer of mud on it that caused me to low side my bike and dump it at like 40 mph. Now that was a me error along with the road being crap. That was also on a rebel 1100. I don't do much interstate riding, just city riding with some back roads here and there. Id love to hear yalls opinions and experiences. Thanks.
Got a fairing off eBay thinking it would be a terrible experience and it turned out to be the opposite. Install was a little tough. Had to bend the bracket a little to get the fairing installed but it turned out great I think.
Hey everyone, I dropped my bolt a couple weeks back and after getting her back to where she need to be I noticed the hand bars shake a lot more then they used to now around 35 and I feel like the bars got a bit bent? Any tips for straightening it out? The forks are fine and it was a low speed crash so I’m not sure how they got so out of whack.
Turns out this little valve from picture 1 was seized after wee clean put all together and I'm back from the petrol station and she runs like a dream.
Ps picture nr4 You can clearly see this push fit filter could easily be made replaceable not Bueno Yamaha
Couple passes tonight ran a 9.217 on a no prep track, managed to take my buddy’s MT07 by a length or so . Struggled to get the power to the ground off the line think she’d run a little quicker on a prepped track .
2017, 1 owner, 4900 miles.
Got a pretty good deal on this 2017 with only 780 original miles. Basically just sat in a garage for almost a decade! Did a bunch of mods over the last couple of weeks to make her my own.
A Honda dealer in my city has a used 2014 Bolt with 14k miles. I went in today to check it out and told the dealer I was most likely going to use it to commute to work at some point(60 miles each way). He told me he wouldn't recommend a bolt for that and showed me the SCL500 as a better choice. For physical reference I'm 6'1", about 210 and the bolt was SHOCKINGLY heavy even getting it off the kickstand. Not a deal breaker but surprised the hell outta me.
Would anybody that owns a bolt be able to comment on its "touring" chops if I took it so far each day? And also if this particular bolt would be a good idea, it was $4.8k out the door and has a yoshi exhaust, tail bag and windscreen already on it from the last owner. Are 14k miles too much potential issue or is it barely broken in?
Was cruising last night on some back roads and going about 65 MPH when Bambi decided it was time to leave this life
I would like to find better rear shocks for my Bolt. I'd like to hear your opinions of aftermarket options.
23 bolt. Hey yall some help please. I’m 5’11” and I’ve been waiting on a handle bar extension Kit from Baron through Dennis Kirk for about 2 months now. I understand that anything over 8” rise with 7” pullback needs the extension kit. Are there any alternative kits I can use as far as the kit or handle bars with similar pull back that I can use? Some alternative to handle bar kits or handle bars that I won’t need the extension kit. Please and thank you
I installed 12.5 forward controls, a new seat, and cobra exhaust. Not quite done, but I love what’s been done so far.
