>>27756325i have the same problem when tripping on LSD
At least Ohlins forks are easy to service.
>>27756345forks are almost always the same design unless you are getting something that uses gas like FGR300s
Finished the fork seals and bushings on the cursed 250. Oil was absolutely disgusting when it came out. It feels a lot better, actually has some suspension action up front now, but I'll be honest, still doesn't feel great. Still really soft. I added thicker washers between the preload spacer and the spring, and I can get back in there to do it again without pulling the forks out.Is that worth it? Or are these smol bikes just not made for 200lb men?
My dad died. Just inherited his 1966 Bonneville out of my grandma's garage. They want me to restore this thing but dear God, it is in rough shape. It hasn't ran since 1990. I hope the inside is not full of rust because if it is I think it will probably never run again.
>>27756416>they want me to restore itSound like they can do that themselves. Unless you actually have interest in doing that.
I always miss the new thread anyone have any good recommendations for a good long ride in the San Diego area?Gonna try the glove drying method and usually I just pick a direction and get lost but that hasn't yielded anything good lately, my friend suggested Banner Grade but I wanna hear about some other good rides in the area
imagine wasting 10k on a 2cyl 66hp sportbike
>>27756467>made in Japan>wheelies in 3rd>runs in regular gasSay no more
>>27756469can't Ninja 500 wheelie in 3rd?
I want to get a supermoto but own this exact helmet. Would I look retarted? I feel like it doesn't match the style of bike.
>>27756477So instead of taking a pic of your helmet you searched for one on the internet?
>>27756483Who can understand the motivations of nobike posters?
>>27756483Yeah, I guess I could've gotten up and walked to the garage for a photo. Mine does have a black bubble visor like in picrel, if that's helps answer the question.
>>27756416nice thing is literally every british bike part is available, usually at least one budget option and a high quality one. theres nothing that can't be fixed. that ones not even that bad.

Some fat faggot semi driver decides to pass another truck he’s going half a mile an hour faster than so it takes him 5 minutes to pass which causes the woman on her phone to slam the brakes and create a domino that causes a 5mph crawl for half an hour??
It’s too bad you’re sharing traffic with mongoloids cause rain makes even interstate cruising pretty fucking kino. Well also drying your leathers for 12 hours is pretty annoying too desu.
>>27756574>Some fat faggot semi driver decides to pass another truck he’s going half a mile an hour faster than so it takes him 5 minutes to pass which causes the woman on her phone to slam the brakes and create a domino that causes a 5mph crawl for half an hour??Yes. Thats why truckers are the lowest form of life on earn and deserve zero respect.

>>27756477That helmet is heavier, bulkier, more restrictive, and less safe than a modern helmet. You look retarded wearing it no matter what you ride.
We should make some guide for newcoomers.what bike to buy (r7)what gear to buy what not to buy (a honda)
I met an R7. The riding position is way too extreme for 60-something hp. I can tour my cbr all day long. Although the fuel tank is a bit small.

I have a Yamaha XSR700 and everyone stares at me on the road because it looks super faggy. How do I fix this?
Sold one of my bikes today, hooray!
>>27756789Which one
>>27756776Only poor people hate on touring
How many of you have ever fallen/crashed/etc (your fault or not) on your bike? I want to hear some stories. I've never fallen on my motorcycle before (though I did accidentally drop it in front of a group of people trying to turn around in some mud lol). I was hit by a car on a bicycle once though, not the same thing IMO.
>>27756792you don't tour on a bike since it's inherently not relaxing. also you have to be a braindead zombie to be able to sit without simulation for long periods of time.
>>27756795if we exclude few obvious fails during course training, the only time I crashed was webm related, almost December, no lights outside of the city, bridge "bump" onto ice and off I go.Other than that never crashed but dropped my bike while it was parked once and I once came to my bike laying in the parking spot. To this day I wonder if it was gypsies or strong winds we had in the area at the time, which makes more sense.
>>27756792>not poor>touring on two wheels
>>27756798Oh! So you have a boring bike and need constant stimulation because you're mentally undeveloped
>>27756810You must be a 3rdie
Recommend me some (waterproof) biker jackets. I'm sick of having the rain pelting on my skin while going 80 and above on a cold day. I nearly crashed from hypothermia.
How hard would it be to get my hands one one of those old katanas
>>27756817why don't you just buy this, drop it on the back and use it when it's raining?
>>27756813>So you have a boring bikethe definition of a touring bike is a boring bike.
>>27756822We get it, you've never been touring on a bike because you're a boring casual.
>>27756824>JUST SIT THERE AND STEER FOR HOURS ON END BROlol fuck that

>>27756854me retard, that's why I'm asking for opinions on it so I can hear how practical it is, if the money is spent elsewhere, how good the protection is in comparison to other gear, etc. I'm literally asking for information about a type of gear. are you stupid?
>>27756868Ok nobike
>>27756865No proof mean nobike
>>27756868i'd assume the protection is not significantly better than a two piece suit with pants that latch onto the jacketwhich might be more convenient

>have a dream in which I drop my bike and scratch it up and break a few things>very sad and upset about it.>wake up and realise that I’m not some effeminate faggot that is so weak that they drop the bike if it’s tipping at a standstill
I have no hobbies and I'm tired of sitting in my room every weekend. I want to buy a bike and just ride through the countryside. Seems like a good time since it's summer. How much should I spend on a basic first timer bike?
>>27757381>>have a dream in which I drop my bike and scratch it up and break a few things>>very sad and upset about it.>>wake up and realise that I’m not some effeminate faggot that is so weak that they drop the bike if it’s tipping at a standstill>>gave myself a congratulatory hand jobftfy
>>27757410What country
>>27757419America
>>27757410Put down a budget, find a model you like, look for someone selling second hand, buy one eventually.The idea of “beginner bikes” is stupid. As long as you’re not some fool that jumps on a liter super sport with 0 experience and throttle to the ground you’ll be fine on any bike, even heavy bikes are easy and nimble as soon as they’re in motion. And even the ones with 100+ HP are safe as long as you have throttle control.
>>27756915Sport bikes are for "speed demon" larpers. It's nothing but comical to see a man in full riding suit getting cucked by a traffic and speed limits on hot summer day. These bikes are built to go fast on a track not going from red light to red light. Just stop being incel and get yourself high T motorbike instead to cruise around like a king.

>>277574413k should be fine but this will have to cover >bike>insurance>gear>repairs^ there's a low chance that you get a used shitbike that needs no work whatsoever, but more likely you'll have to change something on the bike, brakes tires etc. so save at least 300-500$ for repairs.Try to figure out insurance costs before hand, that's an easy way to go over budget.Second had gear is mostly great, much cheaper and you can get some nice stuff, but shoes helmet and gloves get new, they don't have to be expensive.Do you know what sort of bike are you looking for?

>>27757595Are you sure you're not just thinking of modern stock exhausts with 2 cats and a resonator-chambers style muffler? The AT's muffler is pretty good but of course it's still going to sound worse than old exhausts that were just packed mufflers with no cats. https://youtu.be/x5JncpYbnzk?si=WkQsMdHkBXp6f9O8
I want to buy a supermoto. The issue is if they're close they are overpriced, and I don't know anyone with one. My buddies keep trying to talk me out of it and into a 600cc. There aren't many twisties out here either. I'm coming from an SV650 and want to just do wheelies and fuck around.

Can't you guys just be kind to eachother?
>>27757542Can I get seat decals like this (fat HONDA logo) on the aftermarket? Just got my seat upholstered today (new stiffer foam and +3cm height because I am a lanklet) and it would look cool I on my '91 Transalp.Or are there no such stickers that work on leather?

I think I want this bike because of RossiI wan't to be just like him, I'm not joking.

>>27757726I stopped running them after that set wore down. It's nice to have the extra cornering grip but I kinda stopped riding like a total moron/speed demon on the street, and now only ride slightly like a moron on more touring-oriented tires.

Is it worth buying a 1991 GSX-R 750? It guess it's the last air/oil-cooled model.
>>27756416Are you in northern AZ? I know a good vintage triumph mechanic
>>27757793That bike is 33 years old. You better be a very competent wrench and good at sourcing niche parts.
is it a bad idea to buy the zx-6r?I don't have free money to fix it in case it fucking dies

>>27757896Honestly, I was going to buy the kove 450 because it looks like it's the best bike for me, but it literally got no theft protection so I had to discard it.
Going to the beach today. Not taking the bike though.
New Chinese tach off a DT125 goes straight on my bikeEven the bracket fits, nuts.

>>27758038I love my Yamahas like you wouldn't believe. I love my T7 the most.
>>27756878oh MY GOSH! yes baby so sexy hmm dear let me ride and go for a nice twisty ride (yeah) and ride more and more and so good and feels good and MORE in your compact road-going bodypost more (we need) give us more!
>>27757657I could never ride a PTwin and not feel like I'm on a commuter bike.>>27757698I found some for DR650's ages ago. I'm sure they exist for that bike too. Maybe try "Vintage decals" + model. If you mock up a design in Photoshop you can get them custom printed too.
>>27758068Bit hyperbolic, it's just the fucking orientation of the pistons. You guys seem absolutely unhinged, in reality nobody cares about this shit.
>>27757698Might make more sense to have a vinyl shop cut out a stencil and then you can use that to spray paint the markings on, would probably hold up better than decals stuck onto the leather. You can get paint meant for shoes (Meltonian is the common brand here in the US but idk about other markets) that would work really well for the purpose.
Wash day
>>27758026>Chinese counterfeit W Power bike
>>27758091Do you just spray soap on and then off? How clean does that get it
>>27757976But anon... I'm a nobike looking to learn...
>>27758081thanks. I did a cursory internet search and some boomers on a german vespa forum recommended cutting a stencil and using spray-on foil (basically rubber paint that you use to coat rims and body parts in)
>>27758092
>>27758094Rinse, foam cannon, pressure wash with 40deg tip. Works great
>>27758103How close you get with the 40° tip
>>27758107Usually like a foot or two. I'll get only a few inches away to hit the bugs off the front cowl

>>27757647Thank you>>27757665Yeah I put some PB blaster in the cylinders yesterday and just tried the kick starter slowly, and it spins smoothly to my surprise. Not seized at all. I think with new spark plugs and the rust cleaned out of the gas and oil tanks, it will actually run
>>27758133I need to hit the mountains more but allas I live on the wrong side of denver :(Maybe tomorrow

>>27757337pff learners bike
Getting my first bike this week, looking at a couple different 80s Honda CB400. I live in PA, so summers aren't that hot. Any helmet recs, I would like a sharp one if I could get it for under 300 and is a mesh jacket okay or should I look at getting a leather jacket?
>>27759056Don't get a bike from the 80s as your first bike. You want a reliable and trustworthy modern bike to learn on. I am someone who made this mistake AFTER having read this exact advice. I said to myself "that doesn't apply to me because I'm a genius, and I can fix anything, so I can get an old bike." So then I bought a not running 1985 Kawasaki Eliminator for my first bike. And here's the thing, I did get it running just as I predicted. So this advice isn't assuming that you can't handle the mechanical hurdles whatsoever. But what I didn't predict was how long that would take and how annoying it would be. You really don't want a bike from the 80s to be your only bike even if you're not a beginner just because of how often it will be disassembled for repairs, and meanwhile you will want to ride but can't. That is a very frustrating feeling. Please get a used recent year SV650, ninja 400, R3, MT03, or CB500 for your first bike, and get a bike from the 80s as your second bike.
>>27759075issue is I don't have much more than $1500 overall for everything, and I i'd rather not spend extra money on the bike and skip the protective gear. i have a couple friends who are mechanics so i'm not too worried about getting it up and running but is it that bad?
>>27759098Well, getting a shitty bike to run well enough to learn on costs money too. Even if your friends will do the mechanic work for free, I assume they won't buy you parts. And with a bike from the 80s you could easily spend 500-1000 bucks on parts just to get it in safe running condition. All new cables, new gaskets, brake pads, a new clutch lever because the one on there is bent, new chain, new tires and tubes, maybe a wheel bearing, maybe a steering head bearing, probably some suspension parts, definitely new fork oil, new needles for the carbs, a new battery and a charger/tender, bottles of degreaser and rust dissolver, random tools you don't already have, etc. And you'll be doing all those hours of work instead of riding on warm Sunday mornings when all you want to do is ride. And when you finally ride you probably won't trust the work because you don't have any context for how a bike should work. Honestly, if you make more than minimum wage, just work a few more hours at your job until you have $3000 to spend on the bike and then you can get something good faster than you'd be able to fix up the 80s bike to a similar condition. At the bare minimum get a bike with EFI and ABS.
>>27759118yeah i mean fair enough. i prefer the looks of 80's bikes but I get the efi and abs ideas so i'll save up and look at a couple others. any advice on jackets / helmets? I ideally want a sharp but don't really know the reliability of that test vs cost
