>>27837994When I rode 2T everyone I knew used Motul. Some people tried Walmart Supertech, which is stocked for chainsaws and farm shit, and the only noticeable difference wss more smoke. Probably that indicated something else going on internally. Anyway, my advice is to use anything but "white label" branded cheap shit.

Honestly is there a better feeling than riding? Today I was out just riding around no where in particular. Maybe I just got lucky but it just feel like such a perfect moment[s] today. Clean air, fun bike ride, twists, speeding up on long stretches, etc. I just felt so relaxed and calm while cruising along. Honestly haven't felt that good in a long time.
>>27839264>Honestly is there a better feeling than riding?Solo in a small aircraft. Way too expensive, though, so motorcycles are the next best thing.
>>27839264How do you deal with cops though? I can't enjoy riding after getting my first speeding ticket. Almost lost my license. Im too anxious to go over the speed limit now.

my suspension guy retired and he never revealed any of his 'secrets' how he valved my motocross suspension (he was always worried I would just do it myself). Now that he retired I might as well learn. I understand most of it, the one thing that I am not clear on is purpose of and how to adjust the float on the Showa upside down forks (these are for motocross). I have seen I think every vid and web page which all dance around it, with out breaking it out into detail. I have see comments on float gap, spring rate, spring size, spring cap size and so on . The main issue I want to address is the harsh impulse from high speed braking bumps (mid to top 3rd gear or faster). Its fine slower than that. I increased the float by removing one of three shims used to set it, and its a improvement, but there are only two very thin shims left. Any experienced suspension people have input?
Who truck+bike combo here? What're riding + driving and how're you liking them? Asking because I'm thinking about getting a truck to haul my bike with. Seems like a used F-150 is the clear winner, but I'm open to anything.
I just realized the reason I barely come to /dbt/ now is that you retards always split the thread
>>27839935If you're hauling a dirtbike/dualsport you can get away with a 1/4 ton and they're a bit nicer to actually use as a car, but the gas mileage still sucks. Anything bigger, the extra length on half ton beds is the way to go. Single cab is honestly a meme and you should at least get an extended cab, having locking, enclosed storage behind the seats is necessary.
>>27839975Blame the r6 chomo for making a new thread 20 minutes past, he really wants little wittle links to click on and to type shit nobody reads
>>27839983Let him do it. If you don't want to put in the effort of providing links why put in any effort at all?

Little use of CANBUS (mostly only on the engine harness, and lack of other fancy electronics. 5.3 v8, without the select cylinder option, and with the four speed transmission is the way to go. They're really easy to work on. People with them are exceeding 250k miles with ease.

Has anyone ever bought a track prepped bike? Anything to look out for besides tittle issues? Is it better to just get a stock SV650 for half the price and ride that for a season?

Can any Australians tell me how much I should expect to pay to get into biking, aside from the cost of a bike? License, gear, insurance etc.
>>27840880My bike (>>27840806) cost me $7,500, third party insurance was about $180, gear was about $1600 (got a couple pairs of riding pants) and fixing some stuff on the bike was about $250. All in all it totally cost me $9,250 or something like that.If you wanna get a CBR300RA or an R3, you can probably get a good one for like 4k or 4.5k

Fucking unobtanium 20w-40REEEEEEEE
>>27841605If you hear the sound again, check compression. then marvel mystery oil right on the pistols may be your friend if you find compression to be too light
>>27841642Street sharks. Duh
should i buy color coded gear for my bike
>>27841647same anon again, i just read the problem in >>27840790 If you run a bit of mystery oil into it because the sound is continuing, and it doesn't go away. That's when I would take everything apart again and start using valvoline liberally throughout the system (valvoline is fantastic stuff, everyone should have a jar of it) where you can reach, and inspect for divots or grooves. If it does go away (keep an eye on cylinder temp) When you change your oil, take an oil sample and send it to Blackstone Laboratories (google them, they're great) and let them inspect the oil for flakes. They'll send your engine a bill of health and tell you if you've fucked the engine by not lubricating it correctly or not. Chances are though you'll be just fine, I think.
>>27841661Damn, I knew I should have checked the thread before leaving the auto store fot more coolant. Okay, I'll go back and get mystery oil.I should pour it into the gas, right? Just a few ounces?
>>27841661Oh I noticed you said mystery oil right on the pistons. So can I just pour it into the spark plugs to avoid taking the whole thing apart?
>>27841517I hate mothpeople
What would Holo say if I bought a v-stronk 800?
>>27841464Yo, nice viffers. How does the new one compare to the old one? I rebuilt the brakes and suspension on mine so it feels pretty new, but it's still real squishy (by design) compared to my new CB650.
>>27841529Really, which one doesn't?
>>27841758You "can" but be careful, anon. That's a dangerous rope to walk because you're putting it into the combustion chamber, at that point. If you do this, it could hydro-lock if it's not soaked through when you try to turn it over.What I would try first, if you do not want to disassemble anything thinking back on it, is taking the spark plugs out and close off any fuel going to the system. You can add a little bit of your regular motor oil (less than a half teaspoon) into the plug holes at that point, but don't overdo it. Let it soak for a short while and then, with the plugs still out and fuel still off, turn the engine over a few times with the plugs out. Or add the motor oil and let it soak overnight before trying. This should lubricate the walls of the cylinders if you suspect your oil isn't doing it already.
>>27841822And yeah Mystery oil is good for an additive but if you read the instructions for it, you're using a very light amount for the amount you add to gasoline. So putting it straight onto the pistols just means you need to be extremely light with it, just like you would putting any kind of oil right into a spark plug hole.
>>27841831>pistolsfucking autocorrect has done this twice now
>>27838245>>27840105>>27840806>>27841169>>27841241wish I was rich bros...
>>27841802sweet vifferi have only driven the new one for about 10 minutes to test. getting it registered probably in 2 weeeks. so more in depth thoughts will be done later.for what i can tell at the moment, the new one is a lot more agile to drive and seems lighter, a lot lighter actually. need to set up the suspention for my fat ass but seems crisp and comfy. seat position is almost the same but you can change the piosition on the new one to high low and change the seat angle.both sound nice but i prefer the new one, the high pitched turbine gear driven cams is fun but i rather have a low pitch grumble.we might install a slipon muffler, he had one laying around. gonna test if i like it even more
>>27841844take out a few loans
>>27841651as long as the color is black
>>27841822>>27841831I just came back with the mystery oil but I like your safer option using regular oil. Instead of pulling the throttle boddies again to avoid fuel getting in, could I just:>pour a little oil down the spark plugs>let it sit for a few hours>manually turn the engine a few times with a wrenchTaking off the throttle bodies is a lot of effort and the injectors are probably full of gas so just taking fuel line off doesn't sound like it'll be enough

Go larp in the other thread, nerd.
>>27841861Manually turning it is the best option if you're sure the fuel is cut off, what is in the throttle body is dry, and the spark plugs are out. Manually turning it means you can slowly actuate it through its entire range of motion to ensure the oil penetrates

I started it up anyway (before pouring the oil) because I'm impatient and the sound is only coming from the right side, it sounds non existent when you go to the other side of the bike and it got me thinking...Could it be the chain tensioner causing this sound? I put the cams on how the manual said but the chain tensioner didn't really feel like it did anything when putting it back in and I feel like it's broken...Pic related is what it looks like

>>27842703what bike?
>>27842258Well, the problem is that I can't hear the sound. if it's the cam chain tensioner, you will hear a definite noise if you've been doing engine work on replacing old parts, and it was changed during the process of removing and adding parts. I would put that as the next option to look into, whatever you do; do not get impatient and start checking more than one problem at once. If you happen upon the problem while you are trying to multtask, you will have no clue what did it and what to do next, just "one of these things I was changing".
bros, i spent 500 on a carbon fiber helmet and i feel like i got ripped off. i should have got a shoei instead of an ls2 but it was all i could find someplace physical I can go and try the helmets on at.Did I get ripped off or is this just what prices are now

>>27842858i don't put out on first date what am i, a slut?
>>27842856and the problem is what exactly?
>>27842737If youre going to go with high end shit, check out 6D street helmets.
>>27842869cant masturbate to anime girls on motorcycles any more
>>27842870Thanks anon, I'll give them a look What's the advantage?
>>27842856>go to california>engine runs out>have to walk 300 miles to the nearest water source to refuel
>>27842878Made by americans for american heads. Shares high end tech from their motorcross helmet lineup. Light, quiet, properly sealing air flow vents when you need it. None of that shoei/arai mechanical bullshit that changes with every new helmet they release.
>>27839935Trucks1997 + 2000 F150 and a 2000 Silverado (5.3, properly rebuilt 4L60E). Owned the 1997 since 2000 and the 2000 since 2004. Silverado built from multiple donors in 2016. All good, would buy again.Liftgates are glorious. My 2000 F150 has Hellwig overloads, Timbren urethane boosters and a used Tommy Gate liftgate. Liftgate fits small bikes and I use used U-Haul ramps for easy loading (I ride up them). Will extend liftgate when the weather cools off to take my HDs.Bikes:Vintage British, various big twins and Sportsters, Honda 750 Interceptor>>27840078Good choices. Keep both forever since truggs are not improving and Evos are immortal. Smart play if you do and haven't rebuilt trugg trans is get a core and upgrade that for the future because 4L60E be like that. If you don't already have a 5.3 they drop right in.
>no foot
>>27842870Kek this looks like the same chinese rebranded instagram dropship helmets I've seen on 4 different occasions too. It's funny how they're all race inspired
>look into modern classic style bikes>Triumphs now have a fake carb, fake engine cooling fins, and a fake exhaustWho's the target market for this shit? At least Royal Enfields are still air cooled.
>>27842900Thanks bud, I'll check them out. I don't think they're on the lidpickers report but I think I can trust their measurements
>>27842907I said I DON'T PUT OUT ON FIRST DATE
road in the rain today for the first time. was as based as I thought it would be.
>>27842909I was so right. Seems the only people who like them are the shills that got free ones
>>27842911Worst of all the fuel tank has that stupid Japanese flange when a proper Triumph looks far better without.Liquid cooling makes sense if you want more HP unless going oil boiler like the (very nice) Suzuki Bandits did. Fins do their job regardless but meeting emissions and having better top end life benefit from liquid cooling so Triumph used both.Making EFI bits look like classic Amals fits since they had to look like something and that's the least ugly option.
Posted in the other thread as I didn’t realize there were two. I found a very neat old abandoned industrial park in the middle of absolutely nowhere. No graffiti, no broken glass, just a bunch of giant concrete pads in the middle of my trail ride. Very very very cool. I posted a couple other pics here: >>27842761>>27842758
Just stop being poor >hurr i spent $500 on a helmetDo you know how much this hobby costs?
you don't need gear if you never get into a crash
>>27842937Neat. Don't share where it is.
>>27840861feels sad commuter bike bros
>>27842953I absolutely won’t loo. It’ll my by hidden baiku paradise.
>>27842962Yeah, every time some youtuber finds something it gets destroyed.
>>27842962Wow sorry i guess i had a stroke typing that. Meant to say lol* and “it’ll be my secrete baiku paradise”
>>27842965I’ll take more pictures tomorrow. It’s legitimately huge. I’d say 5+ acres of just concrete structures that never got finished. There’s also an abandoned mexican restaurant I think nearby (or maybe like tiki themed?) but I didn’t have time to explore it, When I say middle of nowhere I really mean it, too. There’s a town of maybe 400 people nearby, but it’s more than an hour out from any significant population centre that would justify such a place.
>>27842948if you never get into a crash then you never learn
>>27842947>hobbykys
>>27842804>RIDERS SEAT HAS A HOLE>TANK DENTED wew. people complain about the UK MOT but at least that focuses on actual mechanical stuff and safety items not if your leather seat is is scuffed. Also why is Australia so nanny state about this anyway? along with the whole "if you do 10 kph over the speed limit you get 100 points and a 6 month ban" thing
>>27842947Sure but I see these Shoei helmets that are touted to be the pride of the industry cost less than this one I just bought and I think "Where did I go wrong?"
>>27842981>Also why is Australia so nanny state about this anyway?They've been like this for years. The free and loose aussie died ages ago, some would argue during covid and some would argue the 90s and some would argue when their war hero was gunned down for not turning over his guns
>>27842804I can't take those cucks seriously after covid. Do they also get cucked on licensing like Yuropoors? like only 300cc to start?
What happened with the anime poster and his rattling engine?
>>27842804Also why did he think it was a good idea to leave a bike with the key missing maybe stolen in a mall parking lot chained up with the kind of tiny weak chain you only see illegally locking a firedoor? literally 30 seconds with a hacksaw. that's 20x as retarded as anything else in the entire video. at least use a proper heavy chain and do literally anything to stop a crackhead from starting the engine wtf.
>>27843026gf dropped the key in the lot and couldn't find it. women moment
>>27843027sure but on knowing that why would you leave it there. at least wheel it somewhere less stealable or do even basic security. The entire video wouldn't have happened if he wasn't retarded.
>>27842985SHOEI helmet you don't have vs Helmet you do have and fits which would you rather wear?
>>27843026what I don't get is why they wouldn't just ask security or the mall manager to just house the bike inside for the night. Surely it would fit in their garage or shopping cart area. but also real woman moment dropping the only key they have in the parking lot probably because she was thinking about hair or abbo dick or something
>>27843062It's pretty clear from it being driven off with the key (after bolt cutting the $0.99 padlock and the even cheaper combination bikelock) and them finding it in one piece out in the open with a fake plate that all they had to do was defeat average methhead and they failed. I genuinely and factually believe that an $100 USD ($50,000 AUD) heavy motorcycle chain through the frame and back wheel (or a hefty U lock) would have saved that bike. depending on how strung out the thief was disconnecting the ground wire might have saved it.
>>27842625VFR800Harrison Ford in a 2002 Playboy interview:>Ford: Yeah. Let's just say I've had a lot of operations on my knees. My neck has degenerative disk disease. They're all the result of movies . I'm not talking about having done stunts that are unwise. They're just athletic injuries that come in the context of running, jumping and falling down. That's why I have the sport-touring bikes. One's a Honda VFR 750 that has been modified with a lot of stuff. I had the carburetor taken off, and changed to fuel injection. I took off 65 pounds of weight by going with carbonfiber rims. It's made a monster out of that bike,There's also more recent pics of him riding a 6th gen
>>27842856Weirdly enough, I don't hate it.

>>27842625kek I just know the type of bike (commuter) and brand for you ;)
>>27843209hyb HYB
>>27843209all cruisers are commuter bikes and there is nothing wrong with that
>>27843213>can't stunt on a cruiserSHIGGY DIGGY!!!! SHIGGY DIGGY!!!!
>>27843217can't help but giggle at how he mogs the scooter everytime, as soon as he sees him he hits the brakes lolI love my scooterbros but he got BTFO'd
>>27843224>BTFO'dBlown the fuck outed? You're stupid.
UPDATE: FIXEDIt was the cam chain tensioner. The release button was jammed and even the slider wasn't moving properly; it put practically 0 tension on the chain. Instead of using my other tensioner from the original engine I have, I just stabbed it a lot with an ice pick and eventually it worked.Getting lots of smoke on startup but maybe it's because of the oil I poured into the plugs>>27842732After comparing a few videos of bad tensioners (one being a zx14r, there's 0 for the 12r ofc), it sounded the same as mine so I went straight to there after your oil method. I can say the engine was definitely easier to spin manually after pouring oil, I don't know if that's good or bad thoughThanks for the help anon

>>27843360So you're super jelly. Now post your motorcycle
Good night dbt
I don't think I've ever seen a good looking Japanese bike. They all just look so uninspiring to me.
>>27843368What do you ride?
>>27843362Nope. I won't post. HahaAnd no, I really am not jelly! Just looks like any old dyna. The swept pipes are super duper faggy and that quarter fairing too. But the paint is nice.
>>27843370
Ahh, he's trolling. Gotcha
I just paid off my bike. It was like 9 grand left on the loan. Today I said fuck it, why am I sitting on this loan, and paid it off. I wish I did it sooner. Even if I can afford the payments, the feeling of being free from them is so much better than sitting on cash.Plus now I can sell my bike, trade it, or w.e
>>27843246Anytime, yeah a little bit of smoke is expected if you just poured oil into the combustion chamber, it will burn off and it will seem like a new engine.Glad it worked out, anon.
>>27843381HOw much did you pay for that
Riding a vehicle you actually own just hits different. I would go so far as to say a motorcycle with a loan offers no true freedom. Debt bikes are not true bikes, yet.
>>27843395I mean, I can agree. if I had bike payments I would be fucking terrified about doing anything other than treating it with kid gloves.
>>27843395Agreed.Still loving my $700 VTR250.Just put a new petcock, cleaned carbs since the screen had failed and they got shit in them, and got parts to refresh a few more things coming/waiting for install. Also lost 50 pounds so it feels a fair bit quicker than before.
>>27843398broshow do i get a deal like this
POV: you are now stuck behind the bee truck in gridlock
>>27843398Cool bike man!
>>27843397That's just irrational. If you crash a $10k bike you're out $10k whether you owned it or got a loan. Or, more realistically, you're going to face the same insurance consequences either way.
