advice

Ok, as of right now, I'm starting on swapping out my timing belts for Exact Fit belts. 2014 Hyperstrada So, anyone have tips? Any advised to make it easier? Anything you wish you knew before doing it yourself?

I've owned by Hyper for only a couple months and it's the most smile per mile bike i've owned and I've owned A LOT OF BIKES! However, I plan to ride to Sturgis next summer from the west coast and need advice from long time Hyper Owners IF it's possible to set the bike up for the distance and is...

I was thinking Metzler Roadtech 01. Any other suggestions? I got 3k miles out of the stock tires. Getting a little more would be OK but performance first.

Sweating hands became problematic a few weeks ago so I rode down to Revzilla and got some lightweight mesh gloves. So now I need the rest, jacket, pants boots etc. that will keep me from barbecuing to death this summer. I'm working with much less money now so bargain suggestions are a huge...

I usually try to ride year round. Tried to go for a ride to day and nothing. Battery is fine. Cranks strong. Fires up (somewhat hesitantly vs. normal) then dies after a second or two. Throttle does not help. 8k miles. Oil level is fine and changed recently. Have never had any issues w the...

Brrrrrr..... If I sneeze my nose might shatter into tiny fragments. My cobbled together cold weather outfit isn't cutting it this season so I have saved up $1300 give or take a little for new duds. Warmer ones... So I'm looking and looking and reading reviews that I don't trust and looking at...

I want to put these panniers on my 2014 HS821 but i read somewhere they are actually designed for Hypermotard and some parts might need to be changed on the HS. I'd be grateful if anyone who has experience with Motech Blaze on a Hyperstrada can share their experience, good or bad.

I've lost the right bag for my HS, and I want to sell the left bag and the rack, and replace with Motech Blaze (which I have used previously on another bike). My question: is it normal to sell bags with locks included? Some people on ebay seem to have taken the locks off prior to selling, but...

I have come to a price agreement on buying a 2014 hyper with a dealership about 2 hours away. I am going this weekend to test ride and then hopefully finalize the purchase of the bike. The bike has ~5 miles on it, and I have ridden one before and know I like the way the bike rides. Before I...

Hello all, thanks for registering me. I'll make this short and sweet, I'm New to your forum but not to forums in general. I'm going to be buying a hyperstrada in the next month or so. I had my sights set on a bike that was a demo but it was sold before I could go look at it. I called the...

So it's time for a new helmet. Old one, Scorpion EXO-1000, fell apart rather quickly. The trim around the bottom of the helmet fell off and exposed the innards causing all kinds of buffeting and vibration. Enough about old one... I've been looking at the following helmets and having a hard...

Hi, I am new to the site and I have been using your many great articles as research as to whether or not I should move from my 848 to the Hyperstrada. My dealer recently offered me this deal, what do you think? Is it a good idea? "I can offer you our demo that you rode on Saturday. As...

Hello. I'm looking to move from a Fireblade to a Hyperstrada. I commute in central London and the position would be more comfortable, also think being unaired it's less likely to get so hot. I have some questions if that's ok? A bike has come up and if I don't move quick, as in buy it now it's...

Gentlemen, I am looking to get back to my favorite brand - Ducati... Used to own 2011 Monster 796 than switched to 2010 HD V-ROD. Always liked the look of Hyperstrada... Now selling my V-ROD and working with several dealerships on deal for a 2013 Hyperstrada. The question is: did you really...

I've been watching this site for awhile and would like an honest feedback from some of you guys/gals that have had the Hyperstrada for a little while now. I currently have a 2011 BMW R1200R. While I find it very enjoyable to ride, it seems I would like something lighter and would you...
