Very nice construction... For my part, I would have installed heating, cooling... a good bathroom and a kitchen... You never know when your wife is going to change the lock on your house and you'll have to sleep outside.:)

The X Cape 1200 is very pretty and its engine is pure Italian….the bike is very pretty:)

France? I didn't know you were from France, but in that case, you should check if your bike has power restrictions. I remember reading in motorcycle publications that France was one of the countries where motorcycles had horsepower restrictions. “bridage à 100 chevaux”…until 2016

Maybe it will be useful for someone…. https://www.megazip.net/

I don't think the engineers missed that. Surely that "large curve" in the throttle cable is intended to prevent the inner cable from rubbing against its own lining, preventing premature wear and the possibility of jamming. I haven't read any reports of the throttle cable jamming... so as it is...

Change the output to a 2-inch one...it sounds thicker, but not permanently, only in the acceleration/torque phase...then driving at a stable speed, it remains as silent as the OEM…

The word “preload” exists as such in dictionaries…but it refers more to an action of the word “load”….”pre”…is a prefix that tells you “before”…that is, regulating the preload would be adjusting the tension of the spring that supports the load “BEFORE” starting to use it.

What adjusts the preload is a "tiny" electric motor that replaces the manual knob. Preload doesn't involve the hydraulic fluid that adjusts rebound and rebound. Everything is small: the motor and the gears that screw and unscrew the upper spring support. If you adjust the preload while sitting...

It's given me an idea for when I'm going to be coming home late:...Dear, I wanted to let you know that tonight...42 43 emoji...and we're going with 44 42 emoji...there probably won't be any phone signal...44 41 emoji. Don't wait for me for dinner...I love you……..:)

I think this video best shows how Yamaha's new assisted shifting system works on the 2025 MT09...In automatic mode, or shifting using the paddles. Maybe... at some point, Yamaha will produce a T9, before Skynet finally takes over. From what I've seen in the pics, John Connor is pretty battered...

The most likely culprit is the QS. QS is usually rougher in the lower gears (1, 2, and 3) and smoother in the higher ones (4, 5, 6). But 3rd gear is the gear that takes the biggest hit when it comes together between the engine torque (due to the rpm it drops after leaving 2nd gear), the power...

It would be obvious to ask about the radiator's heat evacuation... I understand that it must be working normally...

:):)….What a great idea you gave me to name a friend. It turns out that every time we get together for a barbecue, he's in charge of emptying all the bottles. So from now on, we're going to call him "The Bernoulli"... :) “Be careful, Bernoulli is getting close to the drinks”…..

If you say it got worse "after" you installed the Arrow muffler, it's because installing the muffler more open reduced engine compression at low rpm. You say you changed the spark plugs and checked the coils last year. I remember reading about two types of failures with the coils (which...

The TCS cannot perform its primary function (preventing the rear wheel from skidding) if it does not know the rotational speed of “both” wheels in order to compare them and “decide what to do”…
