ok so i know this is the wrong forum but.... it is in the off topic section lol. i know some of you guys have bikes. and i just bought one if you guys have an helmets you wanna get rid of hit me up i need more than one lol or riding gear jacket, gloves, pants, ect..

 

what kinda bike you get

 

dont cheap out on gear......... always keep this in mind when choosing a helmet..... what is your head and everthing inside it worth to you

same goes for the rest of your body if you didnt guess that already...

 

i have a medium jor rocket jacket that doesnt fit me. If it will fit let me know and we can work something out..

what sd yota said is very true, atleast buy a new helmet, the other riding gear you can get just make sure it has gone down (been crashed with)

what kinda bike u get??

 

thanks guys i have 2 helmets but one doesnt have the bolts for the shield and the kawi shop cant order it cause the helmet has been discontinued. they are kbc helmets and i also have a a textile jacket, other than that thats it. i had an icon helmet but it was too big so i sold it.

heres a picture of the bike. its an 07 zzr600 i traded the truck off for it.

 

i dont think a medium will fit me my large is tight

 

I've had several top of the line helmets (AGV, Shark, Arai) at one point I was collecting them But my fav is Shark RSR2...super comfortable, the lightest helmet you can buy, and flowed air great

pushing 2k in just helmets

i bought this one just because it matched my truck hahaha


AGV Stealth


Laconi replica



Arai Tommy gun


as far as gear I prefer Teknic becuase they all come with full Knox CE armor even in the back..all other brands the back piece you have to buy extra..i have a Joe Rocket mesh for riding around town, but when I go to the track or plan on getting serious its the Teknic suit or if its too cold for mesh I wear my Teknic Violator jacket, and I rock Alpinestars boots

full suit


jacket

 

i would love to have a full suit but money is tight so for now its the textile jacket bluejeans and workboots lol

and i absolutely love my buddies scorpion helmet

 

scorpions are great helmets for the money, and probably the best in that price range, can't go wrong there, all your paying for with the expensive lids is how they flow air and how light they are

glad to see your not a squid..nothing wrong with what you got, I only had a helmet and no jacket when i started..wish i had a jacket because i went down...luckily I did have a lid on, but i had to learn the hard way, i dont go anywhere now without my gear now!

 

my advice, dont buy a used helmet. You do not know if it has been wrecked and repainted, or dropped. I would always buy a new helmet its the most important piece and if you get one with internal damage, you wasted your money and possibly your life.

 

the helmet i have now is used but i know the guy i bought it off of he is a reliable person so i dont have any doubts about that.

and ouch i say that sucked...

 

all helmets actually have a shelf life, somewhere around 7 years

 

it did, but what really sucks is when they scrub the asphalt out of your wounds

 

yeah that dont sound fun at all... my bike feels like it wants to highside on me constantly i put a new tire on it and it still does it ???

 

highside or lowside...usually a worn tire would be lowside, a highside would be in a turn, pretty low(draggin knee, but not necessarily) you loose traction start to lowside then the bike grabs traction again and throws you up over the top..there is allot more dynamics to it, but that could be allot of things, your riding technique, tires, and suspension..have you had your suspension tuned for your weight? its worth more than any powercommander or exhaust

 

here in phoenix they have free suspension set up days at the track..you buy a track day and they help you set your suspension..I would also highly recommend taking a riding course, not a beginner MSF course but a performance riding technique course, lots of fun and its amazing how fast you can go when you learn some new tricks!!

 

we ride the mountains around where i live and its nothing but switchbacks. lots of fun but 3 out 5 turns it feels like its startin to slide out from under me in a turn then itl catch traction again and il continue through the turn i know my front tire needs to be replaced. the guy that owned it before me didnt ride it all the way to the edge and it has a build up of rubber so i cant ride my bike to its potential.

and no i havnt we dont have tracks around here like that we just have mountains lol

 

yeah we hit up the mountains/canyons as well...yeah you might want to start with the tires, then see if someone around you knows suspension and set that up, if the previous owner had some chicken strips and the rest of the tire is balding that could be it, the transition from the chicken strips(good rubber) to the worn could be it

 

i have a feeling that that is it but when i bought the bike it had a 190 size tire on i put a brand new perrelli diablo 180 tire on the back but i havnt changed the front yet. so that could be it...

 

190 tires are for 1000 and 180 tires are for 600 and 750
