Sharing this, so we can all learn from mistakes and stupid behavior. So my group of riding friends has a "rule" we're never going over 90%.
My buddies and I were out riding the canyons the other day. Very familiar ground, we ride there every weekend, always in Track mode, traction control...
Fed up with the stainless lunchbox under the swingarm, I decided to buy/try the elbow link pipe from Thomas Kopp for my 2019 FTR. This is a cat replacement pipe that mimics the inside length of the resonator and has a cat inside to add a bit of back pressure and make it a bit quieter than a...

Since people are sometimes looking for different bars, it would be nice to know the dimensions of the stock ones first. I did my best to measure the stock ones. Heart to heart.
A. width: 800mm
B. height: 135mm
C. rise: 75mm
D. clamp area: ~180mm (minimum required by our bikes is 120mm)

As some of you may know, my other bike is a Vitpilen 701.
So, lately the love for my little Vit was slowly dying. It had developed into a love/hate relationship. I love the way it looks, but I was slowly starting to dislike the way it steers. Too sensitive on the front wheel/bars, too much...
Time for an update. Last week the last few pieces of the puzzle came in (thank you UPS and USPS). Tire mounting tool, new wheel, to finish off my build. I think it's finished now. 2022 17" rear wheel, which is a straight bolt on on the 2019 FTR.
Fresh front tire too, the previous one...

Any rider in the LA area interested in a set of 2019 fully adjustable Sachs forks?
8500 miles on them. Cleaned and freshly serviced as of yesterday (so fresh oil). Reset to stock damping settings. Local pickup only (I want to keep the box).
$400.-
As some may know I've been using a Mupo rear shock for a while, and recently upgraded to Mupo LCRR fork cartridges.
It's not that I didn't like the stock "S" suspension, it's actually pretty good for an average 170-220lbs rider imho. But not perfect. It can be harsh on ruts and cracks, while at...
Recently (March 26th) Indian released a new software update for the dash of the S and RR models. Install goes well however there have been reports of this new version resetting the odometer back to zero. Be warned, don't install.
The affected version is MAS4A6.AP2104A.swu and is still offered...
If anyone with a 2019 base model decides to upgrade his/her forks with the Ohlins forks (50% discount!!), I may just be interested in your black non-adjustable stock forks (assuming they're in good condition).
This is a bloody bargain for a set of Swedish pr0n. Currently on the Indian website...
Man man man, have to get this off my chest.... 👿
They should include an advanced riding training with every Panigale... had a guy in front of me on Las Flores and the start of Piuma, which are local canyon roads... and the fact that he actually found Las Flores means he must be local (it’s a...

Selling my original rear shock. Asking $350.- ex shipping. (New price is 670 bucks). A great upgrade for any FTR Base owner. And if you live close to LA I could even help you putting the stock black spring on it.
