Pulled my spark plug. It looks good. I will use photos as a baseline for future carb tuning. Now, if I go ride and it looks rich/lean, do I have to clean it before I check it again or will the char/burn self correct? Like if I go ride 10 miles, check it and see it's rich, adjust the carb, ride home and check it again, will it still have rich crud/lean burn or will that burn off if I corrected it?
>>27606238I've a few

Bought some hair dye to fully goslingmax this summer
Thanks to anons who mentioned "experience days" I decided to check out if local dealers have these, and of course they do.I signed up to participate in demos of the best and the worst japanese brands.

>>27606259why don't you want to try suzukis or kawas?
>>27605726I think you're right. Detonation fractured the piston. Whether that was too lean, too much spark advance, or shit gas remains the question.

I want one of these
>>27606348Cool, but stinky.
>>27606322I have stubby fingers. I find gloves that fit my hand alright are a little too long in the finger so it bunches up on the finger print. If I force my finger to the end I can tell that it does kinda work on touch screens but not practical for actual use. My lanklet bro has no issue. The best option I've found are gloves that the finger tips have slits and can roll back off the fingers like hoods
The gear requirement for my course specifies either a leather or denim jacket with at least long jeans. They also specify "rain gear". What counts as rain gear? Can I bring an old splash jacket to wear with my denim? The only other stuff I have is full blown grundens oil gear
>>27606373Hi-vis vest over the leather should be fine imo
>>27606373If you put on your gear, look into a mirror, and can honestly tell yourself "Yup, this looks like a proper riding attire for wet/dry riding conditions", then you have the right gear, no need to overthink it.Riding schools that are really anal about the gear will normally have a stock of suitable gear that you can borrow/rent from them during a lesson.

>>27606265Not the end of the world, can always re-thread or helicoil. Whenever it’s tight feeling I always take the plug out and inspect it.
>>27606506Yes let’s tap a fucking major engine component necessary for the operation of the motor with a fucking Heli-coil kit.
>>27606512Helicoils are better than the stock threads desu. Won’t strip, and are smooth as fuck. Only reason why manufacturers don’t have them by default is due to time constraints and cost.
>>27606518>manufacturers don’t use them by defaultAircraft engines use them
>>27606512Absolute brainlet post
>>27606474R9t is a better choice.
Fuck it. I'm keeping the oil gear in my car in case the instructors are hard asses. I almost forgot to put the padding back in my helmet, which I immediately removed when I bought it

Or is it normal to hear a faint valve lifter sound?Also the osram nighbreakers are noticeably brighter than the offbrand halogens that were in the headlight.
>>27606542But it’s not a parallel twin
>>27606558Ok, cover the price difference and I'll buy whatever bike you recommend.
>>27606558>it’s not a parallel twinYou’re right, it’s a boxer twin, arguably worse in every aspect
I've been on my first ride ever today, 30 km from the guy I bought my bike to my home. Rode like a little bitch, the fastest I went was 70kph, but after few first kilometers I started to enjoy it a lot. I've got much to learn, that's why I got myself used MT-125. Even on such a small bike the feeling of acceleration is amazing, I never had a sporty car so event an 125cc is plenty quick for me. Thanks for reading my blogpost, just happy that I got my first bike (picrel)
>>27606581grats bro I my first bike was an mt 125 too.
Getting a first big motocycle coming from a car having previously owned a scooter.I'm thinking 650, I'm not made of money and the "buy a low cc crap" doesn't sound like sound financial advice. I don't wanna have to buy a new one in a year.What's some good models to start in this cc range?I'm thinking ninja 650, cbr650r, cb650r or I could go for some china bike and save 1.5k.
2 questions1. If I take the MSF course this summer and buy a bike a year from now, will the skills from the MSF still be relevant, or will I have to take it again?2. Does buying a bike fix severe mental health issues like obsessive disorders?
>>27606593Anon, do not get an inline 4 600cc sport bike as your first bike.
>>27606581>the feeling of acceleration is amazingWell you bought a MASTER OF TORQUE after all>t. MT-07 owner
>>27606604> 2. Does buying a bike fix severe mental health issues like obsessive disorders?Simply mention zx4rr here and you'll get your answer.
Why dont motorcycle companies use bigger windscreens? In general I see a lot of small low windscreens, and obv naked bikes have none. Seems like a bigger windscreen would just be overall better for the rider, less cold, less bugs splattering on your helmet and jacket, less rain hitting you...etc. Would make the bike more usable in a wider range of conditions.
>>27606608650 not 600also I don't understand what you guys have against V4 bikes compared to twins. I think something like an mt07 or a hornet is way worse for a beginner than something like a cb650r. Those naked twins wheelie way more than a v4, in fact I think if you stay bellow 6k RPM the bike is pretty tame
>>27606608Second
If I'm a college student and I have just enough money for a Ninja 400 + gear + MSF course should I just say fuck it and buy it all, or is that an extremely stupid decision??
>>27606619I think both are fine.
>>27606635Its dumb cause you gotta buy gas, oil, tyres etc.
>>27606619>cb650r>v4what?>Those naked twins wheelie way more than a v4what?>in fact I think if you stay bellow 6k RPMwhat?
>>27606649How do I know when the right time is?
>>27606652- v4 - inline 4- naked twin engine bikes have way more torque which causes you to wheelie if you don't have good throttle control- Inline 4 bikes due to have low torque in low RPMs so they aren't as susceptible to throttle mistakes at low speeds
>>27606660Ask me how I know you've never ridden one
>>27606593Used SV650, ride it for a few months and drop it, sell it to the next guy for $500 off and use the money you saved on buying the 650r and keeping it nice
>>27606229Don't fucken diehttps://detroit.craigslist.org/wyn/mcy/d/westland-2007-yamaha-max/7739966194.html
>>27606666Checked, witnessed
>>27606666I agree with that but the problem is in my fucking country, people sell used bikes for almost the price of a new one. literally like, 2 year old bike with 1.5k miles on it and they want only 500 less than a brand new one
>>27606668Really nice. What about older ones? Crap?
>>27606581Nice bike. This is going to be a great summer for you
>>27606664ok go on and tell me where I'm wrong
>>27606698Impressive. Very nice. Let's see the redline.
>>27606704the redline is irrelevant if like I said the driver keeps it bellow 8k. Just because the bike revs up to 12k doesn't mean I can't keep it always bellow 8k
>>27606698>73hp vs 94hpThe fact that you think wheelies are the biggest concern tells me all I need to know.
Versys 1000, year 2013.11800 miles on the clock.Is this a good used buy?
>>27606658I dont know I bought my first bike when I could afford to buy it twice. >naked twin engine bikes have way more torque which causes you to wheelie if you don't have good throttle controlhuh? what kinda mickey mouse bullshit is this.
>>27606712actually you can buy a cb650r limited to 47hp, which i intend to do. here in europe you have classes on them
>>27606717So your plan is to get an I4 that develops peak torque @ 8500rpm, get it restricted to A2 and "keep it below 8000rpm" because you're scared of wheelies. Gotcha.
>>27606713It's a versatile buy.
>>27606723it is, then a year later or so I go to the dealership and they remove the restriction, if I feel like it
>>27606713For some reason this bike tends to attract the most mechanically inept owners who cannot into motorcycle maintenance. Be sure to check it real careful before buying.
>>27606730Because wheelies right? Not at all because you have retarded nobike opinions, and you're dead set on keeping them.
>>27606749I'm not deadest on anything you just haven't responded with a single convincing argument
>>27606348Cool and stinkyI want one too
>>27606518>Helicoils are better than the stock threadsHoly fucking cope post your stripped heads
Shipping my motorcycle was a bit sketchy but at last I can ride again
>>27606755An inline 4 delivers power in a manner that is much harder to control for a novice. It revs faster, the power is much higher in the rev range, basically everything you'll need to learn as a new rider will be much harder on an I4 and if you fuck up - that bike will be way less forgiving. Wheelies are not an issue unless you're actually trying to pop the front, but on an I4 that's much more likely to happen, because as you're accelerating there's nothing for a while and then you get all of the power in a very short amount of time. The fact that the mt07 has more torque and it's lower in the rev range is the biggest benefit for beginner bikes, you have playful power at low engine speeds and if you fuck up a downshift you won't go sliding into the trees.
>>27606618Just drive a car
Guys checkout my near balance point whol!Its totally cooler than OPs webm right?
>>27606713This type of system can do it all.Now, with 2x the cylinders!>>27606593I started on a 150cc scooter, then a 500cc v-twin, now I can ride any bike and it's fine.Buy what you want. I would recommend staying under 70hp. Something around 50hp can do anything you need (freeway up to 100mph, local roads, etc) while something around 70hp gives you no valid reason to power up to a faster bike unless you just want to.Something like a yamaha xsr700, or suzuki sv650 would be my picks. honda cb650r is fine too..Remember, there are plenty of riders who started on literbikes. There are plenty of retards who crashed yamaha r3's on their first ride.>>27606660a v4 is not an inline 4
>>27606593Don’t have any sort of riding experience? Did you ride mopeds or dirt bikes as a kid? If so a 650cc with throttle by wire and rain mode enabled is doable. If you have literally zero experience riding something g on two wheels with a motor then I would really suggest starting on a used 400cc bike. You won’t waste money because it depreciates a whole $100 over the course of a year.
>>27606635What about insurance?
It's gonna rain. Bike waiting for sunshine

Finally woke one of my bikes up from it's winter nap, and good God does it feel good to be on 2 wheels again. Now I just gotta fix the other two.
My replacement engine arrived. How should I go about removing this broken motor mount bolt?
>>27606881It’s served me well in the past 2+ years I’ve owned it.
I am still waiting on my new M1000R to arrive.Also rs-taichi stopped making leather jackets. What the fuck...
I am once again posting my super cub. It just needs more stickers and a cup holder.
>>27606933spray with penetrant, and if you have a heat gun heat it.Then vice grip with the as tight as you can get it.
>>27606933In my redneck experience, penetrating oil and then sticking the exposed bolt into the chuck of a drill you dont care about might work.
>>27606768Welcome back to the road, Conti-anon.
>>27606962That's what I've been trying thus far with no luck. I figured a heat gun wouldn't be good enough and I don't have a torch, so I'll try the heat gun next>>27606969>sticking the exposed bolt into the chuck of a drillFirst I've ever heard of that suggestion
>>27606981Don't bother with a heat gun or lube, whack it from the top with a hammer a few times to loosen it then try the vice grip again. Grind some of it flat if you need to.
>>27606885The R is infinitely better than the L, they’re not even the close to being the same type of bike, they’re both still shit though. If the choice is between either then definitely get the R, keep in mind that the R was never a road bike and if you plan to plate it then you’ll have to deal with the absolute headache that is street converted dirt bikes + dirt bike service intervals.Listen man I don’t know your skill level, wrenching experience, or what type of riding you do so I can’t give you much advice, but I can say that I’d take a DRZ 400 again over either Hondas. A mid 2000s KTM 520/525 or Husky TE311/450/510/511 are excellent bikes too.
>no XSR 300
Doookcati Surprisingly bad on fuel for a 600. Gonna have to look into that
>>27606229After two weeks I’m ready to say that the peak design mounts should be the default recommendation over quad lock. Ease of use, case design, vibration dampening are all better.
>>27607057The gay ass X-wing holder is the weak part, the ball mount system is pretty sweet. My phone case came with a plastic holder thingy and I've bolted it to a 1" bearing ball and it works much better.
>>27607070What are you talking about anon? Are you describing a ram mount?
>>27607079I'm not him but I would not trust one of these. It doesn't look secure.
>>27606998I think I'm going to give up lolz>why?I just noticed my engine that's already in the bike has that exact same bolt missing from the mount. I've already rode thousands of miles without it so it can't be that important. I don't have a spare bolt on hand to replace it anyway so that'll be future me's problem
>>27607079Yes, I was. I got the brands wrong. Anyway, does the Peak Designs thing actually hold tight? It looks too slim to be true.
>>27607057Quadlock is terrible. Aliexpress mounts work better than them.
I need a quad lock for my dick it’s so huge I’m worried it’ll get snipped up in a sprocket.Since I’m here though:Drz400 orDr650Primary purpose is hooliganism and trails and occasionally highway 75-85mph
>>27607147I’ll just add the only hesitation about the drz is highway and the need to 3x3 and jet kit to get decent power.Dr650 already has a shitload of torque which is what I’m looking for
Someone asks in a FB group what tools/etc you carry on your bike.Me: <lists tool kit> "and a trauma kit."Responder: "A trauma kit? You must be a liberal"Alas, he appears to have been booted immediately. I can only assume he's hit his head a few times before now.

>>27607175Does that come at the expensive of making it more difficult to lean the bike?

>>27607335The new backrest is comfortable, I could feel the bike screaming for mercy from having all my weight over the back wheel when it was on the stand when I was testing it. It's not nearly as much of an issue with a passenger and both wheels on the ground.
650cc scooter. It's like a GL1500 for scooterists.
>>27607331but that would make sense
This is more of a thought experiment than anything since I've already got a bike to run into the ground, but if I wanted to buy a bike and have enough money to pay full price at the dealer, is there any reason I shouldn't? I know that people talk about their credit score taking a hit when finally paying off loans so I feel like it's a toss up between financing with a bank for credit and just buying it and not having to worry about payments
>>27607331Kek
>>27607357It's not a thought experiment, it's just finances and something that has been answered thoroughly. The gist of it is that it's worth financing if you can invest the capital you would have spent and earn more from those gains than the interest on the loan can cost you. It's min-max shit, I didn't bother with it, personally.
>>27607357If you've got the cash just buy it outright.
>>27607357Walk into dealer and place cash on the table. Remove cash everytime the seller bites.Spend the difference on blackjack and hookers.I have put bundles of cash on the table at a dealer before discussing the pos he was selling.
>>27607351the bugman 650 is not a scooter because the engine is mounted on the frame and not the swingarm. they really are incredible bikes though, offering the weather protection of a goldwing while still being narrow enough to filter through a european city (after toggling the electric folding mirrors), all with comparable luggage space to a miata

>>27607364Yea I'm just awful at phrasing (and finances!!)I kinda figured it was basically just playing the game that I've refused to learn properly since I was lucky enough to get some great scholarships and nice hand me downs from the family but man what a pain.

>>27606229Please help a n00b with his motor. My bike runs like shit. It feels either like it's choking out, or like there's a misfire in one of the cylinders.Picrel is the carb: Please label the carburator parts and tell me about them.Bike is a 2002 Kawasaki Vulcan 500. Why I'm worried:>>I've never touched a carb before. >>I left it outside all winter and it's been under the rain a bunch of times.>>I ran it too hard (to 100mph) and it blew some hose (let me see if I was smart enough to take pics; I think I did but my phones have a way of getting lost)>>ran it with too much oil for a few minutes>>haven't taken the carb apart yet, but it could be very dirty>>also it sat all winter WITH gas in the tank>>white smoke (steam?) is coming out of the holes on the top of the motor >>also out of the exhaust>>I wonder if it's a misfire in one of the cylinders? Or is it just choking>>PILOT SCREW FOR AIR (#1 in picrel 3mm) IS ALL THE WAY OPEN>>choke is kept all the way outWhat I tried:>>swapped the plugs; old ones were very nasty>>changed the oil to the right amount, although it was already there>>put octane booster in the gas and added new gas (old gas was in there all winter as I said)Thank God the bike is metricDecent motor for the bike is $700, but is there a way I can add a larger one in there, assuming I do a swap? This 500 is just not powerful enough. I really hope this is just a dirty carb. I bet when I open the carb, it's going to be filthy as fuck in there.See and hear the problem on video: https://mastodon.social/@me_gusta_nachos_con_ques0/112334566674425429
>>27607420>me_gusta_nachos_con_ques0
One of the hoses on top of the carb came off when I did a max speed run up to 100mph. That's actually past the official max speed of the bike, so damage may have occured.
Why do so many custom bikes all use hardtails? I've been trying to shop around for a new rear fender for my shovelhead that I'm restoring/customizing, but I can't find anything that fits the stock fender struts except for another stock fender. All the cool custom fenders are for hardtails. I rode a hardtail one time and even with some very generous springs on the seat it felt like I was getting sodomized by The Thing from Fantastic Four. I don't understand why anyone would willingly subject themselves to that, is there any practical reason customs all seem to use hardtails or is it just because they think it looks cool? Or do they think not having suspension makes you manlier or something?
>>27607420Try running some seafoam through it. It's probably the carb,
>>27607433>I don't understand why anyone would willingly subject themselves to thatlet's cool it with the homophobia ok
>>27607442Is it enough to put Seafoam in the gas for a carb cleaning? I have actual carb cleaner in a can as well, but I'm not sure what to do with it. Is there an easy way to check if my carb is dirty? Is it as easy as just lifting up the shiny dome cap thingy on the top right above where it says CVK?
>>27607463You'd need to take apart the carb to use carb cleaner. If the seafoam works you can avoid that headache. If it is actually the carb, in the future you gotta buy ethanol free gas. Ethanol is why carbs are such a bitch.
>>27607469I thought you could just spray the carb cleaner in without taking the carb apart? Is there an easy way I can see if my carb is dirty or not, before I proceed to take it apart all the way?
>>27607476Maybe. I've never tried cleaning a carb thats still assembled.
>>27607152Nothing wrong with first aid supplies but you sound like an absolute dumbass calling it a trauma kit.No way anybody rides with this shit
>>27607481This feels excessive.
>>27607476If you let the bike sit for as long as you said and it had gas in it, and you started it, it's safe to assume that your carb is now full of ethanol cum. Just clean it out, and in the future only buy premium gas without ethanol in it. That shit is murder for old carbed bikes. You might be able to get away with it for a little bit but if it sits for any amount of time the ethanol forms this nasty stinky gloopy shit that settles to the bottom of the tank. The second you start it, your carb sucks in a nice full gulp of that shit
guys how do I get rust off my bike? How many weeks should I keep it covered in PB Blaster? Is there anything that works better?
>>27607433hardtails are nostalgiabikes for people who missed out on the stone age of motorcycles and a flex of mechanical skill if you actually build it yourself. still sucks cuz no suspension and is dumb on bikes too far after that era
>>27607491If it's just surface rust you can use some 000 steel wool.
>>27607112I was a bit skeptical when I ordered it but enough people were saying great things about it that I decided to give it a try as I have away my old quad lock mount when I sold me previous bike. Between the clipping mechanism and the magnet it uses I’m very confident it’s not coming off without some sort of catastrophic accident happening. Definitely would recommend.
>>27607152If you crashed you would likely be too injured to use it on yourself, therefore the implication is that you carry it to use on others, being a virtue signaling faggot, aka a liberal. Just a guess.
Deciding on upgrading from the baby versys, i was offered a good deal on an MT09 $4k off new overstock but that crankcase is right on my legs. I possibly crossed off Victory since they have 2 more years of parts support left before polaris axes them. I also see a lot of victorys are flooding facebook.Anyone have experience with the M109R? I'm digging the idea of a power cruiser or a traditional standard like the Z900RS (the xsr didnt feel right to me).>>27607476i wouldnt, check to see if your plugs are fouled and if the throttle is opening all the way. If youre worried get a cheap small carb for generators and practice on that first.
>>27607527>dead company is deadJust buy an Indian bro
>>27607527>Anyone have experience with the M109R? I'm digging the idea of a power cruiser or a traditional standard like the Z900RShaven't ridden one but m109 seems cool. check out the more trad standards like the xjr1300, gsx1400, zrx1100/1200. i have a 1250 bandit (round headlight edition, still no good pics) and friggin love it. you can cruise on these big standards because the torque is always there. the z900rs is cool but very much a modern bike, lacks a bit of sovl
>>27607481>trauma kitGun-tubers started calling them that because it sounded cooler than first aid kit. We called them first aid kits/bags in the military. Anything less was a booboo kit.
>>27607548It's especially retarded because virtually nothing in a typical first aid kit is capable of treating trauma. Trauma is like a fucking gunshot wound or third degree burns or other things that have the capability of sending the body into severe shock. I don't understand how these fags buy a bunch of over-the-counter bullshit they could get at Walgreen's and suddenly think they're going to have the tools and abilities to amputate someone's limb out in the field like a fucking civil war surgeon or something. It's nothing but a LARP kit
>>27607548>military Cringe
>>27607236Oh that looks cool, but i dont see any listedWr450f there are plenty of those including a guy i talkes to prior
>>27607517You use the trauma kit on the person carrying it. Yours is to be used by the person that thinks you need to have a trauma kit used on you.Having the tools on hand to help someone in need is never a bad thing.
>>27607410>1190 bajaWHAT THE
I should keep a small first aid kit on my cub.
>>27607563You've never had proper training
>>27606957Anon, men only get the cub trail 125 and bore it out into a yeet missle innawoodsHahaha you have the giiiiiiirl bike>yes everyone, i ride, and im a real giiiiiirl biker :)
>>27607567idk what to tell u erik buell is a madman. if only honda would compete with a crf1100r
>>27607574I wanted a trail but they were impossible to find at the time. This one is a pretty handy trail bike too though, I checked. I also did not know there was a super cub anime at the time. It's pretty good. Reiko is best girl though.
after getting my motorcycle working again I hardly post here, I'm too busy having fun on my motorcycleI love 2 wheels bros
>>27607548Ouchies on a bike are not something you will bother to treat. Trauma kits are about stopping a person bleeding out until you can get casevac.The gun community understands that.Your (pic) boo boo kit will get you as faar as the accident.
>>27607571I have an ifak in my truck and in my saddlebags. Adulting is fun!
>>27607587I don't wanna keep a kit on my bike anymore after seeing someone call it "adulting"
>>27607583What motorcycle?
>>27607589:p ok. Sowwy if I upset u senpai UwU
>>27607531used indian prices in my area are just too high, and i kind of lost respect for indian since they've turned into a Harley copycat.>>27607543Thanks for the suggestions, i actually was looking for some of those bikes before i got the versys but the used market in my area is trash. Occasionally you find something cool like a k100 or CB750 but its usually a clunker or bought same day.That low end torque is nice, i'd like to start from 2nd gear.
>>27607587Upvoted. Shut up and take my money!!>>27607589Personally I think the government should mandate FAK to be carried by all members of the public over 16 years of age. There should be hefty fines for anyone found in breach of the law. Add to this mandatory annual training and society would be so much safer at zero cost to the individual
>>27607586This, trauma kits are aptly named as they are supposed to be used to respond to whatever mortal wounds sustained during an accident. It is still ideally the "first aid" they will recieve prior to extensive hospital provided interventions. In the miltary you have the medic trauma team provide extracts assuming you're a soldier worth extracting in an AO where medical teams can, without undue risk, reach. It's just semantics. Trauma kit/first aid kit are the same.

>>27607563>Having the tools on hand to help someone in need is never a bad thing.It is if you don't know what the fuck you're doing. You can easily fuck someone up much worse than they already were by trying to LARP as a combat medic and doing shit that you aren't qualified to do. Just a few years ago I had a neighbor unnecessarily lose a limb because some dumbfuck sheepdawg like you decided to slap a tourniquet on his leg after he'd been in a wreck and was bleeding and cut off all circulation. Guy gets to spend the rest of his life hopping around on one leg because of a fag like you that wanted to show off and pretend he's a medic

Please help, this will be my first bike. A brand new Ninja 400 has now been discounted from $5800 - $5100 because of the new n500. I found a used z400 2022 model with all the accessories needed and running at 6kish km in odometer. This is also owned by a pastor so the trust meter is pretty high.Should I go for a brand new n400 or used z400?
>have medical training >I'm not helping anyone but frens, senpai, or selfFuck um
>>27607606sounds like your neighbor was gonna lose his leg anyways lol
>>27607619>owned by a pastor so the trust meter is pretty highWeird fucking reasoning m8Anyways, fo you want a faired or unfaired bike? Are both in your budget?
>>27607617Truuuu. You figured they would at least be cheaper or something. Naw

>>27607619i wouldn't trust a lutheran but buy whichever one is going to tickle your fancy when you open the garage
>>27607622No he wasn't, he had a broken fibia or tibia or something, it was a compound fracture and there was a lot of blood. He was kinda woozy and about to pass out because he has a thing about blood, so dipshit took it upon himself to decide that the blood wasn't caused by the fracture but because his artery was cut, so he put a tourniquet on so fucking tight that by the time paramedics got there and got him to the hospital surgeons had to amputate. I know he wasn't going to lose his leg because he won the lawsuit against the retard that crippled him.Stop fucking LARPing as something you're not before you get someone killed. Learn how to apply pressure with bandages and call 911, beyond that stay in your fucking lane

>>27607420Get a carb rebuild kit, pull the carb off, clean it with carb cleaner and replace everything that came in the carb rebuild kit.
>>27607619>>27607624>>27607636It's priced at $4100 by the way. But you guys make a point, what's important is what bike I like
>>27607552Tourniquet, gauze, fuck tons of bandages, and God forbid the retard things must need a chest seal but you never knowYeah most preppers with those its just an IFAK but you can handle minor trauma or even gunshot depending on placement and the first aider experience levelPacking a wound is just basic shit, aint nobody cuttin throats open or stuffing conpression needle into lungs fuck; and whoever does would pack accordingly for baiku trip with frens
>>27607147The 650 is going to suck for hooliganism and trail riding, way too big and not enough top end power. The DRZ is going to really suck if you’re doing a lot of highway riding over 75mph. I’d personally recommend the DRZ and just avoid fast multilane highways for anything over 10min.>>27607219Bro you write like a fucking retard. The best advice I can give you is just buy the bike you think you want and don’t be afraid to sell it and try something else, it’s better to learn from experience than trying to listen to some guy on a siamese basket weaving forum.That being said, I forgot to say that the XR650R is also deceptively heavy due to it’s somewhat high center of gravity, on paper they’re supposed to weigh ~290 lbs but that’s total horseshit, they actually weigh around 340-350lbs and feel even heavier. If you want a good “light adv” bike that is extremely reliable, has high maintenance intervals, and doesn’t suck to ride then just get a DRZ. They’re not good for long stints on multi lane highways/interstates but they’ll sit all day (albeit a little buzzy) at 75mph. Do the 3x3, play with the sprocket teeth ratios, and for fucks sake do NOT put an exhaust on it, you’ll kill all the low end torque.>>27607236Ktm EXCs, WR450s and XVs are easily the best/most fun bikes you can buy, with the 520/525s being the cheapest and most accessible of the three.

>>27607657that thing has got to be so fucking annoying to be around
>>27607648NTA but he never made a sweeping generalization that having the tools on hand as being necessary to render trauma care was more ideal than not. His argumemt is that the tools are more harmful if they're in the hands of retards. Is he perhaps a bit ahead of his own logic? Yes, anon is emotional. It's that time of the month. But the LARP would be jumping in to or maintaining the valur that it would be good to jump into applying said tool and procedures in the context of severe medical traumaTldr youre both faggots

Why no 750 ftr with high exit exhaust??? >>27607619New is new, old is used. It's up to you if the savings is worth the maintenance you don't catch on the initial inspection. Those kawasakis are notorious for rust on forks so check that out.
>>27607619>>27607651I would buy the used z400. Don’t worry so much with buying the one you like when it comes to your first bike. You’re going to ride that for a season, maybe two season tops and be ready to move to something a bit bigger. You should prioritize value and depreciation on your first bike. Buy what you love when you get your second.

I'm the Vulcan 500 repair guy. I wanna weigh in on First Aid. I don't have a F-Aid bag around because I'm broke. Using one, I could totally save someone.>Allergy pills + anti-inflammatories>Overdose revive pills>bandages + suction bandages>tampons for bullet holes>anti-roadsick pills>burn salve>insect rep.>joint wrap>suture kit>antibiotics>just a bunch of pills basically with some bandagesI mean I'm not carrying oxies or stims or whatever, but I can revive someone with CPR. And I know how to use a defib. And unless you were beyond saving, I wouldn't hesitate to save you. With all that said, most road shit isn't salvageable. They get so fucked up that it's insane. Not a crate of bandages would fix. Not a shoebox of sutures.
>>27607691>You’re going to ride that for a season, maybe two season topspretty sure you're talking to a euro, this will probably be the biggest purchase he makes in his life

Oh and I forgot to mention legal repercussions too. I must also specify I am not a doctor.
>>27607688I find both Indian and harley looks to be hit or miss for me. Some look amazing, others like Chinese knock offs
>>27607699>tampons for bullet holesYou're going to kill someone.
>>27606957Heck yeah, friend. Nice cub.Here's mine. Cleaned and lubed the chain today. My first time ever doing this, got the lube all over the wheel and tire. It seemed like a bad idea to use the cleaning solvent on the tire, so I'm just going to leave the lube there. Hopefully that's fine. I'll take it easy on the corners for a while.
>>27607699>but I can revive someone with CPRweird because that's not what CPR and it will not restart a stopped heart>And I know how to use a defibI would hope considering they're required to tell you how to operate them when you turn it on>I wouldn't hesitate to save youplease don't you fucking moron, I'd prefer to live so I'll wait for the EMT
>>27607703Useful items I guess. But to have any decent first aid kit, you'd have to carry a bunch of illegal shit. That, and tools. Kits. Honestly though, the most it would do for all the rekt videos is to ease the passing of the dude who got ripped in half or something.
>>27607688It's called convergence, the Indian looks like this because the Harley hit peak design with this look.
>supersportHow Youve Been
>>27607701I'm not in the medical field directly, but I was in fact trained as an EMT, had a state license (now expired), and worked briefly in a high crime area prior to landing a catering gig that paid three times the amount. Also never made any claims of being trained. The anon I was defending makes a solid point. Young radicalized men need to stop thinking that jist because a process is easy in theory doesnt mean they're a neighborhood hearo. Under high stress, even high quality training errs. Now take an idiot playing soldier/medic/doktor and you have a recipie for genuine negligence.
>>27607711>checkedDoes it actually not work? I wouldn't know. And also if they have bullet holes, they're probably already dead. I would probably only apply suction bandages and bandages.
>>27607722>Stop fucking LARPing
>>27607720literally the worst looking harleys ever made but okay, the reason they look like that isn't because of aesthetics, it's because the people who ride them are fucking casuals who want to be able to pack all the shit they'd be able to throw in a car, feel no wind, and listen to a radio at deafening volumes while sat upon a lazy boy
I mean you could have like a bunch of blood with a transfusion kit too. That might actually save someone. But you'd have to carry sacks of human blood.

worst fucking general on 4chan, I just want you all to know I feel no comradery or affiliation with any of you, I would not do the bike wave to any of you, and I would not piss on you if you were on fire. I actually genuinely hate all of you. I hate the tripfags, I especially hate the tranime fags, and I especially especially hate the nobikes
>>27607720Looks decent but can you even fit a helmet in those bags?
Guys, any suggestions on where to get cheap all-metal mirrors with 10mm threads for my bike?
>>27607731giving someone the wrong blood could kill them, so could giving them a communicable bloodborn disease
>>27607715The chainguard should have a port on it to make it easy to clean and oil the chain without it getting everywhere. That's what I do.>>27607726For gunshot wounds you need to pack the wound. Imagine a gunshot wound as a large cavity instead of a hole. You need the pressure inside to slow the actual bleeding, and a lot of material to absorb the blood. A tampon can't do that so it just keeps bleeding internally.Gun enthusiast were all up in arms over some influencer peddling the tampon myth a few months ago, actually.
>>27607716>please don't you fucking moron, I'd prefer to live so I'll wait for the EMTkek this is why I'll think twice, let the EMT's do their jobs. It's not you I'm worried about, it's legal repercussion. So I don't have a first aid bag for anyone but myself.

>>27607741>For gunshot wounds you need to pack the wound
>>27607741I guess specialized shit is even better than a tampon then.

>>27607734See ya tomorrow.
>>27607739ebay/aliexpress. if you want something nicer, pretty sure suzukis are 10mm (and cheapest oem parts) or kiwav make quality convex mirrors
>>27607716>>And I know how to use a defibLet me clarify, I could reprogram one and make it zap you more times than it's supposed to kek, and harder. Some are set to give up too early.
>>27607760Are these defibs in the room with us right now?
>>27607749Generally, yes. If it's an extremity you'd torniquet it and if it's arterial you'd need to pinch off the artery. As with everything though, the best advice for people untrained is to call for emergency services, and follow their instructions until professionals arrive.The point I was making is that any situation a person may think of using a tampon, sterile gauze is the correct choice.
>>27607741>>27607749First of all, I thought tampons were blood absorbing. Second, there are two general types of bullet holes. Hollowpoint, and non hollow point. And unfortunately, if you get shot with no hospital to save you soon, you'll likely die. Either of blood loss, or infection. Or just plain organ failure. That's where the antibiotics come in. I would rather have tampons than nothing at all. I thought that myth was true I guess.

>>27607784it means people are capable of recognizing an actually good motorcycle over some overpriced underpowered shit peddled to geriatrics and white trash country bumpkins who unironically wear Tapout t-shirts and put truck nuts on their lifted silverado
>>27607783Are you saying any type of bullet makes a cavity impact? Can you explain what you mean? I'm not from k at all and I've never shot anyone or saved anyone. Feel free to mention other types of ammo like rubbertop or wadcutter or whatever. I know there's a bunch of em.
>>27607790You don't, the people ITT advocating for the first aid shit are either fucking around or genuinely retarded, don't listen to them. And absolutely under no circumstances should you give someone a fucking prescription drug. Good Samaritan laws will cover your ass only to a certain point, they'll save you if you did something reasonable and the person had a fluke reaction. They won't save you if you did something fucking retarded that your average person would know they aren't qualified to do
>>27607774Tampons are not sterile and don't absorb much blood. A roll of guaze will take up less space, actually be sterile, and soak up more blood.>Second, there are two general types of bullet holes. Hollowpoint, and non hollow pointlmao>>27607776Just some basic training on immediate aid.>>27607794In the case of a serious arterial bleed, the alternative is a quick death. It's not something I would ever attempt because I don't trust myself to identify it.
>>27607647take off the intake and pull the throttle cable (engine off ofc), see if the discs are opening smoothly. Then if those are good take it off and see if the diaphragm is not ripped and can move the slide. You can use compressed air to actuate the slide.If your plugs were fouled, the pistons probably have carbon buildup. I think Gumout makes a carburetor safe fuel injector cleaner and theyre the best product on the market. I would try this first before a deep clean.>>27607706The old harley engines look nice, the new one i dont like how they didnt mirror it. I'm more interested in the tuning potential of them, theyre is next to no tuning on the 975/1250/1250T engines at all. The panam makes 150hp off a vtwin, a few simple mods should have it in Vmax territory.
>>27607801>They won't save you if you did something fucking retardedFor any anons ITT you're at best looking at a charge of negligence for this, and most good semaritan laws have culpability for such instances of negligence codified.
I personally see no reason to spend $500+ on an Arai or Shoei or some other premium helmet like that when my Biltwell meets the exact same standard at a fraction of the cost
>>27607802basically I meant cavity impact vs straight throughI guess there could be other things like vacuum wound or vital organ damage and bone damage; I'm not a doctor. I was just under the impression that defense loads with expansion do more soft tissue damage than normal ones by expanding larger upon impact. Stop being a dick and join the conversation. You've already convinced me not to touch someone even with gauze. I wouldn't wanna be touched but only cuz if I got in a bad traffic accident I'd want you to let me die.
>>27607817less wind noise
>>27607819all gunshot wounds create a cavity. If you don't understand the very basics of ballistics you should not be commenting on first aid for gunshots
>>27607822biltwell+$0.50 foam ear plugs
>>27607817Ok
ok and there's also ball ammo that makes an exit wound in a random direction, I forgot that too I guess. I have no clue how to treat that.>>27607809>For any anons ITT you're at best looking at a charge of negligence for thisExactly why I'd let you die. Because you might sue. Even if the paramedics weren't there. Not even if. But this whole discussion is pointless, a mortal injury from motorcycling can't be fixed by a mere first aid kit anyway.
>>27607819The best thing you can actually do is call emergency services and just do as they say. hollow points expand more consistently at lower velocities, but almost any modern round is going to expand and any bullet is going to make a cavity.
>>27607831>ok and there's also ball ammo that makes an exit wound in a random direction,lol
>>27607720I'm ok with inspired by design, but Indian has gone from Indian to "not harley".And yeah harley has some of the nicest looking bikes ever made. The vrod, street bob, XR1200 etc. The engine covers on the new indian engines look like cheap plastic. I prefer the old design.
What up brahs? New couch brah, here. Changed things around a little. Ducati has a spot by the tv now, for now. Might put weight equipment there.
>>27607831>there's also ball ammo that makes an exit wound in a random direction, I forgot that too I guess. I have no clue how to treat that.You have no clue how to do anything, I'm not convinced you remember to breathe without someone telling you to do it
>>27607784It means different people like different things.
>>27607839>tfw have the cash to buy a ducati but my insurance company quoted me like $6000 a year to insure it because it's a luxury italian sport bike and I'm under the age of 30feels bad man, I want one bad but not enough to pay some kikes its value over 3-4 years only for them to not pay out anyway if something actually happened. I don't actually understand why auto insurance is a legal requirement in the US considering they never seem to fucking pay anyone
What's up with all the emt larping tonight?>>27607836My tailbone hurts looking at that seat
>>27607823No I understand that, although there are things such as grazing hits, non-mushrooming bullets (less cavity), specialized ammo, the speed of the bullet, etc. I understand how the impact works. Remember though, ammo is designed differently. There's all sorts of it. I guess some punches through bone better while other kinds destroy soft tissue better. Idk I guess. Go ask /k/ at this point. I'm sure they'll tell me everything I said wrong. You screenshotting dick. Didn't come here to argue about this. I don't have a F-Aid kit, and I won't use one. The legal charges scare me off, as I'm a reasonably rational human being. Even if I was a doctor, the legal charges would scare me off. As people have mentioned, I could indeed kill someone on accident.
>>27607850People mad about the reddit user and his "trauma kit"
>>27607846I just have liability on all my bikes. If I crash one bad enough to fine a claim, the bike is the least of my worries.Though, I understand theft for people who don't have a secure location.
>>27607846That's wild. Im 40 and have 2 bikes full coverage is $600 a year
>>27607850I'm not larping at all, I can't and wouldn't do anything but patch my own bullet holes up. If I had the stuff to do it. Which I don't.
>>27607852Everything you've posted here is dumb. Do you even know what a gun is?
>>27607862>Do you even know what a gun is?Barely, but I'm sure you're the expert. Enough about guns. Go back to /k/
>>27607855Yeah that's my main concern is theft, this shithole town I live in is filled with tweakers and shit>>27607857My insurance company is retarded desu, last year I bought a new Moto Guzzi and I didn't think to check with them first what it would cost to insure it because my rates for my other bike were pretty reasonable. They said it was going to cost $4000 a year at first and I almost shit a brick. Apparently nobody at the office knew what a Moto Guzzi was and as soon as they heard "Italian" they just immediately went to one of their highest rates. After I talked to them a bit my agent was able to get it packaged with my other bike with full coverage for like $1000 a year, which still isn't amazing but it's way better than $4000
>>27607864You're the one writing firearm fanfiction. We're just calling you a moron for it.
>>27607769What a fucking total downgrade in aesthetics. My neighbor has had one like picrel for probably longer than I've been alive. Growing up I though it was goofy as shit but now I want to put my name on it before he hangs up his hat.
>>27607867>We'reI'm pretty sure it's just you. >tampons aren't sterileYeah I know, but neither is being shot. You could probably pack your kit with 'sterilze tampons' if you wanted. Idk. I'm sure there's specialized shit. The point is, I wouldn't do it. You convinced me. I don't have a medkit and I wouldn't use it. And I haven't ever used it besides on myself. >firearm fanfictionI'm already a moron for not being able to take the carb apart on my own bike. I would argue about guns with you, but this isn't k
>>27607876>I'm pretty sure it's just you.No, I'd estimate there's like 3-4 anons who have been calling you a dumbass for the last half of the thread
Oh, more milfag larping. Gotcha
>>27607876Why are you so fixated on the idea of tampons? Even if it was sterile it's still worse in every way. it's a dumb myth.>I would argue about guns with youAnd you'd keep saying a bunch of retarded shit.
Vibing rn
>>27607877I wasn't on half the thread, I'm a different person than you think, I guess. I came in here thinking that I might be able to help someone, but was reminded that it carried civil penalties and even criminal ones, so I reassessed my position. You may have me confused with someone else. Again, I'm not even a medic of any kind.
pls don't bring this off topic borefest into the new thread
>>27607883Your garage looks comfortable as fuck. Are those walls just covered in spray foam?
>>27607883Pretty comfy. Do you have ac in there? Does that get expensive in the summer to cool?

>>27607656I know i write like a reard bros i have the most possible cursed thumba from phome posting, tmits the worst curse od tgem all brosSee whay i mean?I dont wamt a dizzer on principleIm starting to lose hope, twin probably better idea for this and i cant affors other shitsI had soneone offer me a trade for xr650l just now, but its looking like a rust bucket and neglected in some areasPlus id need so many extra things, fuck spensing money i need a guy that has something similar to what i need already madeYou mentioned exhaust killing the drz, are there any other bikes this problem? I thought exhoost helped add power that sounda specific to the bike?
>>27607892>allows you to shift without the clutchif you had a bike that didn't have a century-old piece of shit transmission in it this is already very possible
>>27607879If anons itt saw you in need of medical attention, they'd steal your wallet kek lmao(jk)
>>27607893His exhaust/intake modification recommendations are backwards, cutting a huge hole in the airbox is what kills low end grunt, an exhaust with a rejet to match would be fine.

>>27607912Yeah I bathe in bug spray when I'm out in the woods.
>>27607734>fortransrights.webm
>>27607887Thanks brah. It is the comfiest of shops. Yes it is spray foam. >>27607891Yes, heat and ac. It's less expensive than cooling a house believe it or not. The mini split ac systems are very efficient and the insulation is thick.
>>27607922I might have to do that to my garage if you say it works so well.
>having a garagewell la di da

>>27606797tf is that red thing on the throttle?
>>27606933Spray with penetrant, hit with small propane torch, scrape with wire brush, repeat until all rust is gone. Then lock vise grips on stud and repeat penetrant + torch until you can turn it a littleGo slow, don't get greedy
>>27608180It's a throttle lock.It grips the throttle and braces against the handbrake to hold the throttle open.I modeled and 3d printed it.It works good enough for short hands free moments but it slowly loses grip and lets the throttle close. Not great cruise control but I like having it more than not.Pic related is the first revision. It was even shittier.
>>27608203Ah, I see. I thought it was some kind of position indicator for rallying so you could tell if you were at full throttle after your hands went numb
>>27607893Just go do camp work and buy a t7 already
>>27607147Had a drz for a few years and its good for fucking around in the bush. Went on plenty single tracks with it and its all you need. She also was my daily commute for a few years and it was alright on the highway.
>>27607147dr650 because big cylinder means big penis. just overall better aftermarket. if youre a fat ass like me highway is not possible with the drz. like other anons said for hooligan shit probably go with the drz though. if you want an all rounder dr650 is a lot better.
