The Blue Oyster bar / Re: Might not be getting out this weekend!

North Somerset Council have a team with a big machine that sprays a combination of tar and gravel into pot holes to 'bring the surface up to road level'.... yeah, right!

Welcome,

Can I be cheeky ? ....... and ask why you chose the 650 ( the right decision  :grin:  :stirpot: ) , after your previous bikes...?

Thank you, It’s one of my favourite spots on the Honister Pass. It will be crawling with camper-vans and DIY vans this weekend, so enjoyed tonight while quiet. Hot though, down south it’s becoming the norm but we rarely get above 20c in Cumbria, let along 25c as it was tonight. Apparently it will hit 30 this weekend… will go sailing instead, less traffic  :roll:

Tyres / Re: Michelin Road 6 Tyre pressure ?
« Last post by rikpward on July 10, 2025, 22:07:20 »
It's pretty simple. "The tyre pressure should be what the manufacturer recommends"... these are the very words from a person I know who develops tyres for Pirelli. Only when you get into racing does this factor vary.

Exhausts / Re: SC Project
« Last post by rikpward on July 10, 2025, 22:04:20 »
I would argue that Yoshi and Remus are better than Akra. SC project I think is better too. Akra is like a Rolex... over valued and there is more premium and also better watches for less cash.

Hello V-Stromers,

Just wondering if anyone has fitted or knows someone that's fitted the SC Project can on their 1050s?

It's likely something I'm going to consider down the line but it's not my top priority.  I have always liked Akrapovic's offering but I just couldn't justify the price.... this one seems to be the same sort of styling but quite a bit cheaper.  So, as they're not a brand I'm familiar with (or heard of for that matter), I'm wondering if they're any good?

Link is here is anyone wants to check it out... https://shop.sc-project.com/en/brands/Suzuki/v-strom-1050-xt-2020-2023-2024-2025/s21a-86t-adventure-titanium-exhaust
