Good things don’t make you want to write, so there hasn’t been anything for a long time, but little things have accumulated, so for the joy of Japanese experts I will burn with a verb. — The gearbox, which I admired so much, decided to spoil the impression - when moving from fourth to fifth, the gear can be knocked back to 4. What may play a role here is that I click the gears very quickly, and the clutch travel is very long, and it grabs in the end. - Rubber. It definitely needs to be changed - it slips in turns if the motorcycle is laid too low. — Creaking in the front end — after gymkhana-style training, a creaking appeared that I can’t yet identify — either in the steering wheel or in the wheel axle. It squeaks disgustingly, and not always. — The fastening of the chain guide fell off, as a result it lay on the chain. Tightened the new screw. — The spring power of the center stand is not enough to return it to its place. Thanks to the guys from the service, they showed me how to bet on it correctly.
— The footrest sensor stopped working. Those. The icon is on, but the engine does not stall. Now you can ride without removing the side) - The fuel gauge decided to joke, it started flashing that it was time to refuel, and at the same time showed one strip. I decided to trust the stripe, and as a result, it stalled with an empty tank, but fortunately, a full reserve. Here are some photos for a break from reading)
There is tank protection from the factory - convenient!
The lighting is really very beautiful
The suction, in the current heat I don’t even use it
Side arcs. He fell off the footrest once, the bars generally helped, but the passenger footpeg latch broke.
In the middle of all this there was supposed to be a scheduled maintenance, but the official service told me that they do not do maintenance (WTF?) and sent it to the dealer. For changing the oil and broaching, 2500 for the work seemed a bit much to me, so I did everything myself. There is a good video on YouTube that shows the replacement process inside and out. I will add that it is better to take out the coarse filter right away, it will drain faster, and remove the oil filter by hooking it with something like a wire with a corner at the end. Now about the sad stuff, that is, about the maximum speed. The running-in is of course up to 2000, but to reach 135 km/h you need a lot of patience. When I first accelerated to the maximum, my mirror folded, as if hinting that this motorcycle was not for the trails, not for the trails at all. What kind of 145, 175, etc. are there? Where? Overtaking on it is more fun than on the Ebre, but starting from 100 km/h it looks something like this - Honey, let's speed up. - Well, ok, here's +10 km/h. - Want more! Let's just be sharper - No, patience, here's 10 more for you, and then try to twist it some more. After 120 it turns sour completely, and a very smooth gradual increase in speed begins. Added to this is air resistance and the bike lacks confidence in its stability on the road, with a bit of wobble. Overtaking a car on the highway occurs without a reserve of speed, and not quickly. Those. you didn’t wow, and you rushed past a car going 100-110 km/h, but drove on sedately. And if the driver wants to race with you, then... well, it will be sad. Your own self-esteem will definitely not rise from this) If you try to drive fast, then you need to keep the speed in the region of 8-9 thousand, I’m not sure that the baby will like this mode. Now for your health. Due to its dimensions, it is an ideal cork stitcher. Allows you not to put your feet down where the super truck slows down. It’s true that I’ve already demolished one mirror, but that’s my own fault - I was too carried away by the process. At the same time, the pulsar is not at all invisible, like ebr; drivers even notice the low beam and yield. Dynamics up to 80 km/h are ideal for the city, moderately sharp to overtake, slip into a gap or between rows, and at the same time it is not so disruptive that if you turn it a little, it will drive into a pole or car. The combination of front + rear brakes + engine braking shows excellent results. It brakes with a bang, after replacing the tires it will be even better. The front brake works great when driving between rows, but the rear brake locks the wheel too early. Otherwise, no problems. Consumption pleases - 10 liters - exactly 300 km. I managed to be in two mini-accidents. In the first one, Ssanyong drove into me from behind at the checkpoint of his native work, broke the reflector and dented the license plate. And in the second, Infinity thought and thought about where to turn, and decided that it would be best to hit me, since the low speeds and our reactions with the driver caused only the seam of the motorcycle boot to suffer. The leitmotif of the drivers in both cases is “I didn’t look.” By the way, the day with Infinity was filled with magnetic storms, no less. After a mini-accident, I saw a man hit to death on the way home, and already returning from the garage in a car, right in front of me, a pilot in a Kawasaki didn’t give way to a spot at a T-shaped intersection. Fortunately, he did not have time to accelerate. It looked scary from the car, because for a second the pilot was under the car. Fortunately, he is alive, without any fractures, but the motorcycle has been written off. And it was restored only a week ago. This is how it happens too. Friends, be careful and take your time.
