>>28992511Dude I make trips longer than the distance between his photo and where he lives to have lunch. Some people actually ride their bikes.
>>28992535>Yamaha edition!I'm sorry anon, but Onsa it turbo slut who's into NTR and other cuck shit. Majority of people actually dislike that. Hane-chan is girl you want to see everyday coming home.
Same question as in the previous thread. I have issues with my turn signal switch on my bike. I let my bike for a while outside and it rained on it, the switch button ended up being stuck and therefore unable to indicate. Opened up the switch, cleaned it and lubed it a little, button seems to be unstuck and it indicates normally *while unscrewed* out of the switch box, I screw it back and it seems the button is offset, because I can only indicate left, but am unable to stop the signal or indicate right. The service manual I found online treats the whole thing as whole, so can't find instructions there, any ideas?

>>28992550Anon, what's wrong with you?
I'm thinking today I will swap my rear shock.I was just gonna throw it up on a front tree stand and use a jack with a block of wood to suspend the engine in order to unload the swing arm so I can get it out. Am I missing anything else? I read some use a rear swing arm stand to get a little extra leverage when reassembling.

>>28992625No you don't>>28992557I always forget about this
I saw a nobike post in a different thread.That kid is truly worthless.
Has anyone gotten from sport/naked bikes to cruisers? I want to try a cruiser but I'm not sure I would like the mid/forward controls.
>>28992702I have a hand me down vrod at home that I never ride everi would only take it out once every couple of months just to keep it working and it always feel like a choreits like having a large dog that you have to walk shit is always on tender my nephew think its an EV bike
>Finally found a Rvf400 for saleShould I do it? I've never dealt with carbs before. An i just making an excuse to not get it by thinking i don't want to work on something older than me? Am I overthinking it?
im getting this as my first bike for 1500 eur what do you guys think1996 bandit 600
>>28992741as good a choice as any
Is the nobike leave now???Alao my friend gonna take his exam todsyIts rainingHes never ridden in the rain b4I have a 5050 feel right about now; the funk soul bruddah, check it out now

>>28992741Make sure to feed it ethanol free gas. Old bikes run better on it.
>>28992760dont need that man just suck and blow it with your mouthgiving it a good cunnilingus
>>28992741check the tires and if they’re older than 5 years, counteroffer 1200 or walk away, there are plenty of bikes like this out there. Also walk away if the bike isn’t cold when you get there - bikes like this sometimes don’t start from cold, the seller will start it with starter fluid to warm it up then turn it off before you get there so it starts easier when you try it.1500 is bottom of the market for a working motorcycle, bandit 600 is also bottom of the market for a working motorcycle. Plan on putting another thousand in parts into it over this season and plan to be stranded on the side of the road at least once - take this into account when buying insurance, some carriers have roadside assistance and others do notmy first bike was a suzi intruder 800 of similar provenance and price and it was a piece of shit Suzukis are “bulletproof” but for a bike this age that means “you can make it run well with no more than a few hours work and a few hundred in parts”
>>28992552>stuck indicator help mePresumably this is a real switch and not some horrible modern electronic gay affair. If the switch is jambed see is you can unjamb it. Try meths, try wd40 or ACF-50. If nothing works replace it. Switches are low tech.Maybe you can unscrew it too and take it apart but do not be afraid to buy a new one and move on.

>>28992815>frame slidersI call them 'newbie sticks' because only new riders have them on their bike.
>>28992565what's the point in posting an obsolete map that isn't maintained?
Is it possible to make a QR code that contains code for a car to shut down once it is read by a car camera?
>>28992535Is that a V-max? The V4 with terrible brakes? it looks sick though.>Yamaha edition!So, vibey XJ6 anon here.Today I've set out to swap around injectors, spark plugs, tighten cap boots around HT leads and measure compression, which was even 200 200 200 195 psi.https://files.catbox.moe/ite030.mp4After doing all that and taking a piece of o-ring from right-most injector channel (probably fell off while I was taking injectors out), I went on a test drive.And holy shit the vibes are practically gone.There's a very narrow band around 5500rpm and around 7500rpm, but I've had one or two of those on every bike e.g. CB500 had it around 7000 ER6 & Versys around 6500. There's no issue avoiding those as low-speed scenario is typically under 5k, cruising is 7k and aggressive is over 9k. I've tested it on the go and front brake master cylinder doesn't get fucked by vibes anymore. I have brake cylinder repair kit & some steel-braided brake hoses that now can go onto the bike.I'm still planning on valve sync and now I'll also order new injectors & spark plugs.
>>28992842>Is that a V-max? The V4 with terrible brakes? it looks sick though.Yeah Yamaha had a great thing there until they neglected the Gen 2 for 11 FUCKING YEARS then discontinued it without a replacement. Pozzed company with gay employees.
>>28992834Ritual postin!
my first bike is probably going to be an R3, talk me out of it
>>28992851Gay bike, get an R1
>>28992851Isn't it a track bike? Get a gixxer instead
>>28992833Idk what you're talking about dude, I've seen more bikes with frame sliders than without. Even seasoned track riders run them with swingarm spools
>>28992851The Ninja 3/4/500 is a better bike.
>>28992723Carbs aren't that complex, given what that bike is; you should absolutely score it.>>28992799Use your rear brake not the front.
>>28992799not my problem
>>28992878>seasoned track riders run themHow can you tell who is a "seasoned track rider"? Are you riding on the track?
>>28992890>How can you tellBy talking to them, asking them, seeing them at the track, etc.Very silly question anon.
>>28992891So every time you see another biker on the road you stop them and ask them if they ride on a track while you're inspecting their frame sliders?
>>28992878>seasoned track riders>seasonedwhat does this mean? is there a "riding season"?
>>28992893Yeah bro I totally stop every biker I see on the open road just to ask about their frame sliders / track experience uh huh.I don't dogmatically interrogate people like that, track dudes 9/10 always bring it up unprovoked at meets or the occasional parking lot interactions. Had a handful of times of dudes showing off their track only setups as well.Is it really that foreign of a concept to you that people put frame sliders on their bike or are you just being passive aggressive for the (you)s
>>28992895>Say a word that just means they go to track relatively often>Somehow this provokes the autists to probe for exact specficsWhy are you like this
>>28992851Shoulda got a GS500
>>28992897>Is it really that foreign of a concept to you that people put frame sliders on their bikeNot at all. Most new riders in my city have them but, as I said, they are new to riding and it's usually their first bike. ""Seasoned"" riders don't have them because they know how to ride (every season).
>>28992898>get called out on my bullshit>better call him 'autistic' to save face (anonymously)don't use words that you don't understand. simple.
>>28992900If that's what you believe then that's what you believe. It's just not a rigid pattern like you claim from my experience (which I just: Dudes put spools and sliders on their bikes across all skill levels)
>>28992902>It is bullshit to have frame sliders / spools on your bike apparently Sure, whatever you say anon. Carry on with unfalsifiable claims. I really don't care
>>28992903>that's what you believeBelief has nothing to do with it. I'm out there riding on roads for ten hours a day so I observe things and in my civilised city only riders on L plates have frame sliders. I don't see why you're getting upset about this. If you're ashamed of running sliders on your bike (because they make you look like a novice) then take them off.
>>28992903>Dudes put spools and sliders on their bikes across all skill levelsas retarded as:>Dudes put training wheels on their bikes at all skill levels
>>28992897They're just gettin your goat. Only a retard would think frame sliders are only for noobs.
>>28992806its on the higher end i think i can talk it down to 1k new clutch and refreshed front forks on it>>28992825theres not much else at the same pricei want to get a shitbike for this season and next year buy a cbx1000 or a z900rs tires/maintenance idgaf about
>>28992912Good for you anon, you're entitled to your opinion. >yer upsetti spaghetti and heckin ashamedYeah look at me crying and chudding out over *checks notes* tiny pieces of aluminum/plastic I am indifferent at most about your belief/perspective/opinion

>>28992917maybe my city's riding culture is more advanced than yoursten bux says that you live in a city where filtering is illegal
>>28992916>I'm gonna be intentionally hyperbolic to scrutinize the notion that people use sliders and spools>>28992917Must be, but then again they could be super immature and unironically think that kek
>>28992919>you're entitled to your opinionBut I'm not offering my opinion. I'm stating a fact. Frame sliders are for novices so if I see frame sliders on your bike I'll just assume that you're a novice. DWI or don't. Not my problem.
>>28992921>Maybe my cities riding culture is more advanced than yoursBro typed this up thinking he cooked omegakek. It must be very tiresome to live in such insecurity.
>>28992921>maybe my city's riding culture is more advanced than yoursLEL you're funny as hell
>>28992926>It must be very tiresome to live in such insecurityI'm not the homo with frame sliders on his bike.
>>28992923>I'm not stating a opinion I'm stating a FACTOh ok, so you should be able to show the thread a concreate clear as day source that explicitly says that sliders and spools are only for beginners. Surely the advertising for spools and sliders explicitly says "ONLY FOR BEGINNERS" right? Because a fact is super easy to prove instead if relying on anecdotes and word of mouth. That's why Facts don't care about your feelings.
>retards take up another 100 posts arguing over some dumbshit while posting no images or anything of value.Just remember when this place fully dies, it your fault.

Guys, I put a stunt cage on my bike. Will I lose all of my riding skill?
>>28992938how scared and insecure do you have to be to put frame sliders on your bike?
https://voca.ro/1oAMEwh4kGK0I spat a nobike diss track with DJ premier: specifically for lawnmower enginerinos attached like sharks with lazerbeams on their head: doesnt real, PERIODO.
>>28992941Not at all, that's why they're there.
>>28992933I don't care to convince you of the fact. If you want to remain ignorant while running sliders on your bike then that's your prerogative. Just don't act surprised when someone asks if you're new to riding.

>>28992953Actually funny enough I looked it up and allegedly they do run frame sliders + case savers underneath the fairings
>>28992957all i know is that if i see frame sliders on your bike while i'm passing you i'm just gonna go right ahead and assume you're new.crying about it won't change anything.

So much win yesterday.They listed the helmet for $650 online, went in store to try and they brought the price down to $594, because it was the last one and they didn't have box or bag for it. I also got a summer jacket for cheap.So happy.
>>28992988Those scale models and the small cutting pad (?) make that helmet look absolutely massive
>>28992994That was joke I was going for lol. It ain't that much bigger than my full face, just looks big because of the visor.

>>28993026Great job scaring away nu-r3 twink, you knew he was thinn from the X-rays he posted and you still chased him away. Now we got nothing.
Why you say aluminum frames are stiffer than steel frames? Steel as a material is three times stiffer than aluminum: 210GPa to 70GPa.
>>28993010Just a bit more built than ottermode
>>28993045Japan isn't in America
>>28993026>get a Ninja 500Whats the difference? Also I like the blue color more
>>28993080Bigger displacement. Also in the hellhole I live in they are cheaper.If you like blue get a black one and wrap it.
>>28993087Which one is cheaper in the used market?
>>28993090R3 since they have been making them for 9 years now.But if you are looking at used, ninja 300-400 are the same price also I think depends on where you live.
wait, 11 years
>>28993090Near me the R3 is cheaper but there are a ton more ninjas.
First thread I'm in, some anon posted a mspaint drawing of the gears. 1st was hill start and parking break, neutral was useless, 2nd was to start and something else, while everything until 6th was just 'useless'. Haven't been able to get it out of my head during the break-in period for my bike and notice I can't do SHIT until 6th. Makes me laugh like a bastard as I'm riding.
>>28993099EU, but I think the Ninja has better gas mileage so I might get that one instead
>>28993114Found it. Comedy gold.
>>28993120lmao, he must ride a Hayabusa
I live for riding in rain. But my riding pals dont like it. Why is the world so cruel?
>>28993118Ninja 5 does get better mileage, 0.4 L/100 better and that is mostly due to torque.
>>28993122What's your riding gear setup?
>>28993114>>28993120Cute post but man you gotta wind that bad boy out, every gear counts!
>>28993061It's stiffer with less maximum yield strength. Steel flexes so it feels less stiff but it has higher overall strength.
>>28992810What windshield is that? I'm looking to get one for my scrambler and that one looks clean as fuck.
>>28992535I love Onsa so much it's fucking unreal
>>28993114>>28993149Abandoned distribution center photo.Took it for a little local adventure and ran it through its paces. Already a shit magnet, saw a SVU get lit up by a cop. They hung a U-turn in front of me and gunned it in a 25 mph zone, hitting like 60. The cop went to pursue but then gave up entirely, just letting them go. Pulled over to the side and turned off their wee-woos in abstract fuckin' defeat. 10m after that, almost get clipped by some old cunt running a stop sign.SAD!!
>>28993182see>>28992970
>>28993152It came with the bike when I bought it, so I can't say for sure. Looking at options online, I think it might be the naked new generation windscreen by Puig, since the shape of the screen and the bracket look about right.
>>28993216Thanks. That's actually one of the ones I was looking at. That or the custom ii.
>>28993144Its just normal gear, I dont mind a bit of water but my jacket and boots are WP
>>28993223Nice, nice. Personally, I like how the brackets on mine look, since I think they don't look too out of place on the bike. Pretty low key from the riding position too.
>>28992702>CruiserHELL YEAH BROTHER
>>28993241That's my big issue with the universal ones. They never look clean or particularly sturdy with all the ball joints and shit. I wanted something with hard mounts
>>28993251Max lean angle?
>>28992752He failed his examThe instructor seem to fail him because of retarded reasonsShe wanted to see him cruise in 4th gear in a 40kph residential neighbourhoodI said thats fucking retarded on his fz6Went over there and did a lap in his hood, fist in 3rd at 40kph and then 4th which wasnt even actuating the powerband, lugging, borderline stall/flood the engine It was a redundant example of how ridoculous this lady was3rd for sound i can understand but ffs you have hardly any powerband for an emergency acceleration maneueverShe literally shows up late, fails him, has computer and every excuse issue in the book, and ended the exam earlier than even the highway because ahe felt unsafe with his "shaking" or whateverIt was raining, shitty weather and like 11c alsoTold him go down to the dmv and show them the lack of proper paperwork and absolute shitshow inconsistencies based on how she feels vs real life circunstwnces, challenge instructor knowledge of the differences between various motors and displscements and their relative friction zones etc.Anyways, hopefuly it works and they deem it an incopetent unprofessional instructor

>>28993458hell brother yeaaaa
>>28993499NTA but we do in EU
>>28993265In what countrya student and an examiner are doing tests without the teacher? In my country the teacher is certified and checks examiner's bullshit right away so the student does not have to argue about bullshit reasons he is not qualified to argue about.
>>28993503No, in the EU teacher with examiner goes in the car behind the student, and it's the teacher who would stop the 40kph on 4th bullshit right away >>28993506

>>28993118>gas mileagenot really an issue, its marginal at best most single/twin between 400-700cc all drink about the same mpg range which is 50-60 mpgthere are few that are above that like honda's 500cc bikes, NC750x, they are around 70 mpg which is where most 300cc single maxi/bikes are atmost liter bikes also in the range of 40-45 mpg
Cheap trash knockoff and sublime og boxer goodness
I want to get a bike, but I'm a fattie - 1,80m@120kg or 5'11"@264.5lbs.I am currently losing weight again (yoyo'd back from 73kg/160lbs) and I don't know if I should wait until I've lost my weight or if I'm fine getting one now. getting new clothes is a pain, but whatever.any advice? maybe from another chonker
>>28993543You being a fatass shouldn't matter when getting a bike, unless it's some weak japshit.A real bike isn't bothered by a real man on top of it.
>>28993540Yours is the cheap knockoff, right? Why don't you buy the real one? I'm sure you'll enjoy it more.
>>28993540Soviet union existed for 70 years, had 300M citizens, occupied all possible resources on this planet yet still couldn't produce a proper bike that is not a shitty copy of some 1940s german motorcycle. Celebrating this just shows how retarded you are.
>>28993543Not a chonker. I don't know anyone at 120kgs. I've had friends who were 90kgs I think. Just get an int650 or cb500x or a himi maybe. You should be fine. Just put a ziptie in your testride and if you bottom it out in normal braking and acceleration, not potholes. You can safely buy that bike, take what I said with a pinch of salt. I don't know too much about baiks. I just ride them. You can also feel the oil line you rear shock to notice the travel.

visited the ruins of the tumble inn on the old ridge routethis road is pretty gnarly very much recommend if you can make it up here lol
>>28993758for context this is the old historical marker that used to be up here, pretty interesting stuffentire road was like only twenty feet wide and an insane amount of curvescan't imagine how difficult it was doing all of this in a model T lol apparently back in the day it took twelve hours to drive from LA to Lancaster on this road

Is anyone itt cute? Whick bike?
>>28993508>>28993506They have one examiner on our road test and i dont even think this bitch knows how to ride let alone the differences in gearing ratios, displacements, or engine confogurations100hp, 600cc, and asking the fucking old man to lug around in 4th gearr 40kph max residential on his fz6 is FUCKING RETARDEDand she basically knocked -45 points combined feom all the made up nonsensical violations this caused, failed him early because of it, and made up some lame ass excuse that YOURE SHAKING I DONT FEEL SAFE BEHIND U :) and ended the exam early before highwayKarens, not even once
>>28993758Is that New Mexico?

>>28993835been doing alright lol just been busy as fuck at work and haven't had time to ride recently
>>28993543I was rockin a drz400 at 300 burger units. It still moved me around fine. I looked retarded on it though, and the stock spring was crying out for mercy.
>>28993845How much do you weigh now?
Went out for a ride myself today. Didn't quite break 100mi yet, but likely the next time or two I take it out.Was much more successful not just drilling low speed maneuvers, not that I don't want to practice. Just needed a bit of confidence and some road experience before I drop the damn thing again is all.Engine braking on this T7 is crazy - I feel like I barely have to use my actual brakes at all, which I know is a bad habit to get into. I've been actuating my rear brake as a warning to people behind me, but just generally slowing down gradually.I need to get a new phone and mount for it so I have GPS - I'm terrible with directions.Hope you've all gone out for a ride this father's day weekend too.
>>28993887>I'm terrible with directions.I think you're missing a valuable part of riding. It's not about starting or finishing, It's about the ride. Sometimes the roundabout way you discover a new place.
>>28993897OR HOW ABOUT YOU GO IN THE SAME CIRCUT AND BECOME A CIRCLE ENJOYER, HOW ABOUT THAT BUDDY???
>>28993899The circle is the infinite ride.
>>28993864Down fitty lbs. workin on the next fitty
>>28993897I appreciate going places you aren't familiar with, but I'll be honest I kind of need to end my ride at my home, and a GPS is really good for that.
>>28993887>so I have GPS - I'm terrible with directions.Navigation is a skill like anything else. And like anything else if you always rely on GPS you won't develop that skill. Your spatial understanding/mental map will not develop. It's an examined phenomenon that anything you rely on "external storage" to know or remember your brain doesn't put the same effort into. It's the reason I I can remember the phone number to my mother's work from 30 years ago, but I can't remember her current cell phone number.You should take trips without having your phone on the handlebars, and only look at the map on it when you stop somewhere for a snack or gas. Build your mental map of your extended area by exploration and not just going A to B with phone directions.
>cb500 leg legion reporting in >leg legion not in the green text>they however kept the OG green textWhat’s good famalam, what has it been a year? Yeah, I’m still alive lol. Rc390 bro crashed but the insurance company got his bike fixed, he’s too all patched up now. What’s new? Well, I got a panda mechanic now hah.

Went for a good rideEnded up caught in a crazy downpour snd fucking loved every second of it. Yeah it was a bit freaky but I should ride in the rain more often.
I like riding my 'ku
There's even a Honda Rebel rebuilt and being ridden today, yet not a singe VFR800. Surely that's because it's a very nice bike to own and ride actively.

>>28994151Been around since '23. Went on a few rides with another anon from Tucson. How you like those bags? They are indeed bags if nothing else.
>>28994160Be like gyro. Gyro is a good role model.
>>28994201>been around since 23’Welcome to the family brodie.>the bags I fixed the damn zippers twice before they melted lmao. They’re good bags but they’re really bad when it comes to the heat from the exhaust, like REALLY BAD. They’re good when holding 6 six packs though lol

>>28994228Fr, but being honest I’m a diehard fan of Honda, Soichiro-san knew what the fuck he was doing. I’m probably going to save for a brand new ridgeline >>28994235I’m gonna fix these damn bags for a third time now and put some teflon sheets under the bags or some shit

new cutie here, I tried this helmet at the shop and was wondering if it's worth getting a cheaper helmet that'll protect my nogging just as goodhttps://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/sedici-strada-3-sparo-helmet?sku_id=10343224I like the shapes for https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/biltwell-gringo-ece-white-flames-helmetit reminds me of my lego spacemen and was wondering the outer shell differences matters a lot for safety
>>28994261oh and I assume the sizing is gonna be the same, the helmet I tried squished my cheeks but I wonder if it did it too much because wouldn't you bite your cheek off if it's pressed in that much?
>>28994259DONT you worry about it big bro. I came back to revive this damn place. I’m just setting the grounds for the realest OP DBT has had. Getting up to speed and making sure yall haven’t gone haywire.
>>28994261Who unironically cares about safety?
>>28994268Why do you have that pic saved lol
>>28994258I test rode a gs500f and I really liked it but i didnt trist the seller, there seemed to be oil issues and fuel was cutting at 5000rpm while I was testing it
>>28994176>this colorwayoldfags knowpost tummy
>>28994272That one’s on me lol. I just have a compendium of a whole lotta anons that have posted throughout the years.
>>28994273What oil issues?>fuel was cutting at 5000rpmVacuum petcock. Common issue, easily solved, or ignored by just switching to prime.
Washed the bike today THEN I IMMEDIATELY DROPPED IT ONTO A PILE OF WOOD WHEN PUTTING IT AWAY GOD DAMN IT
>>28994279KLR's were never meant to be clean anyways

>>28994289when it started to get swept away I knew it was ogre
>>28994261for helmets either get the best thing you can afford or just wear a 5$ hard hat for legal compliance. there's dumb shit like don't get the AlpineStars Limited Edition Graffiti Print for an extra 500$ but that helmet looks ok. it's 300bux but it's 300bux that could save your life and will last a lifetime if it doesn't have to. or you can be a poorfag but at least dont be a coping one and just get a 5$ hardhat, maybe some lab goggles for road dust>wouldn't you bite your cheek off if it's pressed in that much?no, it's actually to prevent that sort of injury. all your mouthparts are held steady so you both don't bite your own cheek off nor clench your teeth so tight they shatter as soon as a leaf hits your visor
>>28994289Oh also >cutting the engine No no no that's the last thing you do, then water pours into the cylinder, you keep the RPMs high
>>28994285Some OGs have been way more impactful compared to what I’ve contributed to the community in the past 12+ years. Sometimes you gotta keep it a buck bro
>>28994295Do you think we have ever had anyone from these threads die? Or do they just slowly quit coming here/riding?

>>28994303You can't gun the engine when the intake is underwater. Your engine will just lock because water doesn't compress. That niggers ENTIRE BIKE is under water. There's no air going into the engine. He doesn't have a snorkel.
>>28994279How broken did it get? The pile of wood I mean, not the tractor
>>28994305>He doesn't have a snorkel.excuse me? he has one for his intake and one for his exhaust. the literal second thing he covers is the air intake and it's at head level.

Please tell me you’ve been taking care of her man lol >you back on the roadYeah… it took me a while to get back to riding after witnessing what happened to RC390 anon (literally my twin by the way), but we’re back on the road thanks to God almighty and the insurance company HAH. >>28994297Oh yeah. We’ve had race/CC/adv/taxbracket wars in this damn thread to the point real OGs have quit for a while but to be honest everyone always comes back lol. >if you see hotwing he’s the realest of the pack, locked up and everything. We had to wait for him to be released to post lol. Ps. He’s the ONLY ONE who’s been able to get someone off himself off of troll posts but I’m not going to say who lol. >hotwang if you’re reading this my bad bro, I just think you’re a damn legend lol, WHERE ARE YOU????
>>28994317because it's generally related to silly motorcycle water fording
>>28994310Utterly annihilated, it proceeded to fall through the earth and make its way to China.But seriously, the wood was fairly soft so a few longer boards got bent. Thankfully the faring is undamaged, but the plastic flap hand guard is slightly bent. It was getting old anyway with a few scuffs, and I may just replace it. 'uv me tractor.
>>28994321I forgot the pic
>>28994151Been on 4chan since '05, been on /dbt/ since '19. Nobody cares who you are unless you namefag or are relentlessly weird/annoying. That's just how it is, and probably how it should be.
>>28994278The old guy had used a silicon spray to make it look real nice but it seemed like there was some kind of leak on top of the engineIt had a lot of km's but none put on in the last 2 yearsI had owned a yamaha scorpio 225 and it had reliability issues so I was very wary, I just wanted a bike that worked everytime without worrying if I was going to end up breaking down somewhere or stalling at an intersection (idle rpm clutch in stalled because carb shook out of adjustment)I wanted a ninja 400 but ended up with a cheap r3 that was local(the woman that owned it was selling to get into body building)
>>28994325You should’ve shared and involved yourself more these past few years brodie, don’t blame the community.
>>28994326Was it here? They commonly leak oil from here, but you just use gasket sealer to seal them up better.It's just the valve cover. >idle rpm, clutch in stalled because carb shook out of adjustmenthuh? That sounds like a dragging clutch issue. Did it only happen in gear, and not in neutral?How did the carb shake out of adjustment?
>>28994301s-stay back!
>>28994325That helmet is wicked sick.
>>28994325https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pwy7pBfrHUI
>>28994326>(idle rpm clutch in stalled because carb shook out of adjustment)can you remove the idle adjustment screw entirely and replace the spring with a better one
>>28994343The o-ring would be the larger issue if the idle mix screw was causing any sort of issue
>>28994274Thats not my exact baiku, I will post one if I go for a ride tonightI dont want to use a picture from home with location possibly embedded into the image

Im waiting for someone to cook the new thread; just auditing the quality of the threads yall been posting on.Don’t mind me!
>>28994368Ban /n/obike from the next thread please.
>first bikeAny thoughts between the BMW f800gs and the f800gsa?The main differences that I can see between the two is that the adventure has a few more features such as: electronic suspension control and a much larger gas tank (6.3gal to 4.3). I'm buying on marketplace and the production line, 2017, for the gsa model was in it's final year. my intuition for any manufacturing is that a later generation of the same product is going to be better quality.pros for the 2013 f800gs:I like the color a bit lighter, and a bit cheaper. is electronic suspension control a meme?
>>28992535>go to half a dozen bike listing sites>nothing even remotely good within 300 miles>almost entirely just old cruisers, dirt bikes (without titles), crashed sport bikes (also without titles), and various minibikesThe only bike even a little like what I want is a '09 TU250. Is there a site for buying used bikes that doesn't suck, or is the used bike market just actually like this? I'm sorry for newb question, but I'm a nobike and I'm trying to change that. Is it really this much easier to just buy new?

>>28994395no, it's mahjong you fags
>>28994372do the range calculations for both of them based on fuel consumption and gas tank size or just look up ranges on reddit and make your decision based on that. Electronic Suspension control is great if you do long cross-country touring. If this is your first bike then you may find it kind of useless because a first bike is rarely something you go across country with, it's something to get your bearings and learn if you like the hobby. Most people like the gs more than the gsa anyway. If prices are similar you may like the adventure more for the additions. If you like the color and lightness more, you would benefit from that.
