>hey chatgpt give me an honest review of the Yamaha r7 as if it were written by the journalist Hunter S. Thompson So, I got my hands on this Yamaha R7, huh? A "sportbike," they called it. More like a torture device. I'm talking about a machine that's slower than a snail on a hot plate, and about as comfortable as a medieval rack. It's like trying to race a tortoise in a marathon while wearing a straitjacket.The thing looks like a racetrack refugee, all sleek and aerodynamic and whatnot, but it's got the soul of a grocery getter. It's like trying to squeeze a Ferrari engine into a Yugo. The acceleration is about as exciting as watching paint dry, and the handling is about as sharp as a butter knife.I rode this thing out into the country, hoping to find some open road and let it rip. But it was more like a Sunday drive with grandma, only with a lot more pain. The seat is harder than a rock, and the riding position is so cramped, I felt like I was being squeezed into a vice. It's like trying to fit a square peg into a round hole.After a few miles, I started to feel like I was going to fall apart. My wrists were aching, my back was killing me, and my legs felt like they were going to fall off. It was like being tortured by a sadistic sadist.So, if you're looking for a motorcycle that's about as exciting as watching grass grow, and about as comfortable as a medieval rack, then the Yamaha R7 is your huckleberry. But if you're looking for a machine that can actually get your blood pumping without causing you physical pain, you might want to look elsewhere

Remember when a nerd tried really hard to convince /dbt/ its bad practice to put your bike in neutral at red lights?
>>27982215>gets rear ended
>>27982215I can't agree with it being "bad" but pretty much the only time I'll bother putting it in neutral is if I watched the light turn red. Which might actually be the most likely time for this >>27982219 to happen to me.

br/o/'s it so fucking over.I was riding out for lunch on my Harley sportster during work and was bringing back some bean soup for someone and it split the bag spilling the contents and the soup onto the motor immediately burning it in. Went to get it washed and the dude at the handwash said he could get it out. I come back and the guy fucked the chrome with a scotchpad in a small section and stopped. He apologized but refused to take accountability.Is there a way I can buff that chrome head and clean that shit off? or am I fucked and it needs a rechroming?
>>27982215I do it if it's a long light but generally if it's stop and go I'll tough it out as a big boy.
>>27982174I wish you were dead.
>>27982238It wasn't the clutch cable snapping, it was used to teach as a premptive measure for 2 stroke run away and/or a mix of some boomerism over clutch wear depending on which new rider manual from a manufacturer you look at the scans for. Clutch cable snapping even on really vintage pre 70s bikes causes the bike to stall the same as it does now unless you are constantly holding the throttle open.
>>27982322i find it hard to believe theres a harley owner that doesnt know about chrome polish

>>27982376someone stole your seat
>>27981895What's the point of these bars, really? Is it the offset? Why not small/ medium ape hangers?
>>27982246Hello gentleman, have you posted your bike before?I DO NOT recognize it.
>>27982389I think these are just bar risers, so you can keep all your controls installed on your current bars and just add the risers assuming the cables are still long enough? Probably cheaper than a new set of bars as well.
>>27982376BroPut it back to standard please, it is suffering
>>27982376>I finished my gs750
>>27982324Me too
>>27982337I was under the impression that the chrome was super thin and would rather have left it intact and fucked up than risk dechroming the head.
>>27981895>>27982169Yeah!
>>279821091996 baybee>>27982389comfy like apes and they make it so easy to throw the bike around. you can get the pullback exactly where you want it too
>>27982384Nah it's just what I'm using for a seat. There may be a day where I am too butt hurt for this but at the moment I strangely don't mind it.>>27982399If you want it standard then you or someone else should have bought it when it was essentially all original and I was asking 2500 a year ago. Don't cry about vintage bikes being cut up if you don't own one yourself. They're simply isn't any actual demand for these.>>27982407That's a neat picture but I'm not sure what message you're trying to convey if any
>>27982444This looks horrible
>>27982393I'm whole ass anon
>>27982444>If you want it standard then you or someone else should have bought it when it was essentially all original and I was asking 2500 a year ago. So, nobody bought the all original bike from you and you decided to fuck it up? >Don't cry about vintage bikes being cut up if you don't own one yourself. What does this have to do with anything? I don't need to have a vintage bike to know that what you are doing is WRONG.>They're simply isn't any actual demand for these.Genius take
>>27982475reeeee hes doing something i dont like to the bike that isnt mine
My coworker had a leo vince on their ninja 500. It sounded so much nicer than my 23 cb500x that is stock. I need an affordable muffler that doesn't make my bike sound like crap. I can literally hear the cam chain more than the stock exhaust.
>>27982482>you can only criticize my bike if you got one just like it!
>>27982444Wow an actual ledditor
>bought some new tires>keeping them in my bedroom>tfw smells good
>>27982483It's 180 degree crank p-twin. It's gonna sound shitty no matter what so don't bother
Why do so many jackets come with padding on the back instead of CE-rated armor? I'm trying to find a jacket with elbow, shoulder and back protection; either CE or D3O rated. If there's another kind of armor that's good I'd take that too. Preferably leather but I'm not finding much at all.
>>27982444>this dude's really out here sitting on scrap metal and zip ties for a seatNorfolkchads would never.
>>27982444You in the 7cities?
>>27982506Lol at thinking norfolkians are anything but ghetto
>>27982442>1996Very niec. One of my several dream Harleys is a 1991 Fat Boy exactly like the one from Terminator 2, but I’ve been contemplating just getting a ‘96 or later one because they improved the 5th gear output sprocket splines, crankcase breather, and a few other little things on the Evo engine by that point. Either way I need money first lol.
>>27982485hey just so you know: i DONT want your bike. i want an one thats original. no, i wont buy an original one. but im just letting you know that i dont want yours eitherwhat is the point of this?
>>27982444>That's a neat picture but I'm not sure what message you're trying to convey if anyyou can tell by the angle of the shock that im implying that i know you know that i know you know that it's not really finished
>>27982498So is the Ninja 500 but it sounds better. How do you explain that?
The whole situation with this bike has me fucked up. I tested pressure with a manual gauge on a stand and it was in spec. I guess it's time to hook the gauge back up, zip tie it to the triple tree and stare at the gauge while going mach Jesus. I suppose it could be a weird electrical feedback at a certain frequency or some shit.The light blinks under load in high rpms. Google searching "low oil pressure under load" brought up a lot of muscle car results for bad crank bearings. For it to completely lose all pressure, I would think the bearings would have to be so loose it would be making noise. So I guess I'll hook up the gauge and test it on the road, though it seems kind of sketchy on a bike to do that, but I really want to know what's actually going on with the pressure.https://youtu.be/zJ-AqA7yu00?si=o1Pai5J6hBonTFgr
>>27982516The point is that you are a soulless monster that is mutilating this poor old classic bike, that apparently was all original, because why? Nobody bought it? You were bored?So you grab your little angle grinder, you piece of shit, and then you chop off the frame and put some stupid fucking air pods so it not only looks worse but runs worse.>what is the point of this?Good question dipshit
>>27982516>i want an one thats original. no, i wont buy an original one.Based. Custom bikes are best bikes. Until you try to sell them
>>27982475I knew it was in decent condition so I did the decent thing and put it up for sale for a fair price. I got one? offer from an older guy who already had a number of old bikes but wasn't able to get the money together to buy it. Thus confirmed my suspicion that people like you are noise, not people that really care about vintage bikes and would get one if they could.>>27982492Yeah a nigga can use two different websites, shit's crazy. >>27982511I'm in Chesapeake pretty regularly but I live in NC. VB is hometown tho
>>27982542Sweet. Maybe I'll see you around town. I'll be riding down to obx this week a bunch
>>27982531im not even op its just funny watching you get so mad over a bike that isnt yours and that you'll never own or ride. >poor old classic bikekek you gonna cry faggot? its a fucking gs750, your grandkids will still be able to find original ones for $1500
>>27982530Brother, just sell it and buy the 750. We buy Japanese bikes for riding, not chasing down gremlins on. That's what the Ducati is for.
>>27982531That wasn't me but lol. I'm a soulless monster for making a cafe racer. Blow it out your ass, faggot. What do you ride? And it's faster than it was before, partially thanks to pod filters being better than the leaking complicated stock airbox.>>27982541Yeah resale value is absolutely tanked but I don't treat my vehicles as monetary assets.>>27982526Listen that suspension rebuild can wait until this winter you hear me? Lol yeah it'll get cleaned up around the edges(tidy wires, shorten cables, rebuild rear brake AGAIN, get a better seat mount/seat ect) eventually but for now I'm going to spend the nice days that are left riding instead of wrenching.>>27982530Yeah that's a weird one.>>27982546Rad, watch out for the damn cops on 168/158
>>27982566I'm not worried about cops. Bikes too slow lol
>>27982542>Thus confirmed my suspicion that people like you are noise, not people that really care about vintage bikes and would get one if they could.Funny how you know so much about me. Fuck you, really I hope you and the other CG cafe racer faggot go fuck yourselves.I had a CB 360 I sold it to be chopped by a retard just like you. It was a good bike but now that it's chopped it's going to be illegal for road circulation when vehicle inspections begin later down the road.>>27982566>And it's faster than it was before, partially thanks to pod filters being better than the leaking complicated stock airbox.X, sure it was not the 10 pounds of steel you cut out of it? Dumbass
>>27982607You cry a lot
>>27982614At least I don't take it out on a helpless bike
>>27982607>i care so much about the poor classic bikes>I had a CB 360 >I sold it

>>27982630If you ride it every day and look at it with a light once a week, you aren't missing anything catastrophic.
Genuine catgirl bros
>>27982626So you were implying people only sell things they don't like? Got it.Stupid confirmed>>27982630I'd be anxious to give it away too. Selling it would ease me out. Most of the time you are giving pearls to pigs
mommy someone on the internet is doing something i dont like again
>>27982638wow this actually explains why youre so mad about this, i get it now. you couldnt keep your bike meanwhile someone else who can is doing something you dont like. its not even about modifying a bike its just jealousyget well soon
>>27982636>If you ride it every day and look at it with a light once a week, you aren't missing anything catastrophic.I try to keep up with looking it down when I can to make sure nothing horrible is going wrong but I am still pretty clueless as far as wrenching goes so a lot of what could be going on is lost on me>giving pearls to pigsI promise you R3 is not a pearl to anyone but me. My friend is also not a pig, he's a very diligent man so that's why I'm so anxious about giving it to him. I don't want him to have to deal with whatever problems I left brewing on the bike without realizing. Or worse, getting hurt dude to one of my own mistake on the repairs
>>27982654It's a figure of speech.But if your friend can't be assed to learn something about it or take care of it even when given for free with the best intentions ... sounds like giving a pearl to a pig.
To what extent may one modify their motorbikes? Are there any legal or regulatory constraints in the United States that I am unaware of?
>>27982708Technically depending on state you're supposed to have X inches between the blinkers, plate orientated only on center or on left side in such and such way, but it's effectively a free for all as long as the bike was originally registered as road legal in your name.
>>27982708cops in my state never gave a fuck about motorcycles and now they aren't even authorized to chase them
>>27982723which state
>>27982723honestly this, ive never even considered whats legal or not when it comes to bikes because it doesnt really matter much. i dont even register them
>>27982708>To what extent may one modify their motorbikes?Cafe racers not allowed
>>27982729did i say state i meant to say prefecture
>>27982219If you're aware of your surroundings enough to react to getting rear ended then you will have enough time to put it in first.
>>27982708>To what extent may one modify their motorbikes?boost, different fuels, whatever internals>Are there any legal or regulatory constraints in the United Statesnope

>>27982775I assume you're going to do this but run your helmet cam and point it at the gauges rather than try to look at them constantly while riding.

I quit a good job at the end of last year, NEETed for a few months, and got a shitty paying job for most of this year. I hate to say it but I think I'm forced to sell 2/3 of my bikes.

>>27983016I was rapidly weaving until I was nearly catching air then I entered a low speed death wobble and bought the bike down on my foot, hard. Had to ride 3 states til I was home then I had to use a shifting strap for 2 months while my foot healed. Happy my first serious crash was entirely due to my momentary retardation, rest of my riding has been pristine
great riding weather bros
>>27982970tiny delicate manlet hands typed this post
hey guys how common is it for coolant to dissipate in a 600? I got a new bike that's got 1500km on the clock now, and I went to go check the coolant level today and it's well below the minimum level markI called the mechanic who did the first service on the bike at 1000km and he couldn't remember if he did anything with the coolant, but on the invoice I was given it stated he "checked it", so I would like to assume he did actually check it and topped it up if needed and I wasn't swindled, but also, that means it's basically lost all of its coolant in the span of 500kmI checked everywhere for a sign of a leak but couldn't see any. I turned the bike on and let it idle for about 10 minutes until the coolant temp was up a little bit above the average ride temp, then did another check but couldn't see any leaks and there was no fluid at all on the groundShould I just top up the coolant and monitor it or should I send it back to the dealer to get something sorted under warranty? only problem there is the dealer is fucking useless and I'll probably be bikeless for months
>>27983070And what about it!!!!
>>27983175Are you looking in the radiator or in the coolant reservoir? It's not such a big deal if the reservoir is below the "low" mark but if the radiator doesn't have much coolant in it then you'll get some problems. What does your temp gauge say?Also what bike?
I went so fast that the speed radar was flashing "SLOW DOWN". I swears it!
>>27983181trident 660looking in the resevoir. The manual says it's gotta be between the lines apparently. The problem is this is the first time I've actually ever bothered to check, so I'm just assuming it came full from the factory
>>27983188You looked at it when it was upright and not on the stand right?
>>27983195Correct, I got someone to sit on it to keep it upright & level while I checked

Name a flaw
what boots for offroad riding would you recommend? i dont want the motocross boots
Frens I need some help. Does this bike worth 3200€?Only one dr650 for sale in my country, in the EU they have similar prices. It has a license plate and brand new tires. it's a '98 model with 34k kilometres in it. Would this be a reliable choice if I want to do longer tours and also go off road and play around in the bushes? My other choice would be an XR650r for 3.5k€ with 33k kilometers in it, but it's kickstart only.
>>27983209>3200€?>26yo 1 cyl bikeYou should buy an R1
>>27983211I've always wanted an R1, but being an adrenaline junkie I'd probably last about two weeks mate, especially with the shitty roads in central EU. Child is on the way so I'm not planning to go out (yet).Which year R1 would you recommend and what should I look out for? I've seen lots of them for sale but with tons of km in them like 60-80k.. going for about 5k$ still, lol.
10k USD in 2022 vs 10k todaywhat could you buy then, and what can you buy now? is it getting worse?
I wired my horn button to kill the ignition instead, now when the bike is engine braking, I can push it and once I release, the accumulated fuel in the exhaust will ignite with 2 very loud bangs.I'm going to do this on my "bobber" project bike too that will be straight piped. I am that biker stereotype from South park
>>27983222I could buy a DRZ400E then and I could buy a DRZ400E now
>>27983175I've noticed some bikes "throw up" coolant out of the over-flow sometimes.Make sure radiator cap seals properly. Small amounts of dust and stuff can get stuck under the cap's seal.
>>27983209>Does this bike worth 3200€?ESL please suicide.
>>27983209>it's kickstart onlyIs this supposed to be a negative point?
>>27983303Yeah I had a good look around the radiator cap and I couldn't see anything, not a drop of coolant or even any liquid marks, but I'll have another check
>>27983311Kick start novelty wears off quickly, and kick start only is terrible for trail riding.
>>27983322>kick start only is terrible for trail ridinguhh sucks to suck I guess? Think of all the weightsavings and the bulletproofness of the vehicle totally doomsday certified vibe mood vehicles no cap
>>27983325Maybe just lose some weight fatso
>>27983334You're not in good shape
>>27983334>Maybe just lose some weight fatsorelevant to which part of the post????
>>27983335I’m in motorcycle shapeLegs are weak and atrophied Forearms hands are back are strong
>>27983342>I’m in motorcycle shape>Legs are weak and atrophiedpick one
>>27983345Atrophied then
>>27983240Hell yeah just don’t blow your whole pipe off
>>27983334Doesn't being fat help with kickstarting though?
>>27983311>>27983322No idea really, I know nobody who could give me the pros and cons of kickstart vs electric start. I heard kickstart can be a bitch, but I also got fucked many times already because of the sudden battery deaths. What's your input? Honda vs Dr if I want to do 80% road 20% trail? Also I have legs like a twig
>>27983358>Dr if I want to do 80% road 20% trail?might be a bit too hardcore (as in pointlessly competition-like) for mostly road use but yeah do it if you can find enough parts for it.Kickstart just means you can run without a battery which saves weight, but as the other anon said, if you constantly stall it or drop it on trails and then even have to kickstart it again every time it might wear you out fast. Kickstarting without breaking your leg is not only about strenght but also about technique
>>27983358Kick start isn't hard if the bike is well maintained and you know the proper technique, but it's not easy to do if you're stuck halfway up a steep hill at an odd angle on uneven ground.I have a KLX650R that's kick start only and my mate has an RMZ450 that's kickstart only, we both wished we had electric start but it's not a deal breaker.
>>27983351I'll be fine, as an addition the neighbours kids love it, they ran to my yard only to say that it's the coolest thing ever.
is there any way to mount my phone to a DRZ without using the handlebars? I prefer it doesn't move when I steer if possible

>>27983411Would a tank bag with a clear window work? I feel like I've seen some that are touch screen compatible.
>>27983358Not having kick start isn't the end of the world since you can always bump start it in a pinch. The only time I had trouble bump starting was when I went out when there was ice everywhere and I couldn't get even the engine to turn over in 3rd gear. But that was a stupid idea in the first place. Still, I would rather have a kick starter than not, but I don't know if I'd trade in electric start for it.
too much?
>>27983425Don't colour match your leathers.
>>27983431matter of opinion, also match what? there's 2 colors here except for tires.
>>27983424It's one of those things you wish you had when you need it.My bikes are all kickstart only, yet some times I wish I had an electric starter when the bitch doesn't want to fire up and you're giving it your all to kick over a 60s 750cc.Then when your fancy jap bike dies on the side of the road and your battery gives way, your starter just spinning slower and slower till you just hear the solenoid clicking and you're thinking "fuck why can't they just have a kickstarter"
>>27983068What's that second screen? Did you add that yourself?>>27983200Dubs of truth
Any advice for buying a van/other option for taking my bike to the track? Bike isn't road legal and has no registration so riding isn't an option. I used to have a buddy take it but he's moved country.I was thinking some kind of van would be nice as I can store parts and also use it to pick up projects, but my wife hates the idea lol.
>>27983368>>27983371>>27983424I'm really not sure which one to get then. I want something bulletproof so I'm a bit scared of having water cooling on a trail bike. Also I've read that somewhere that the xr650r eats sprockets and chains like crazy because of the torque
>>27983455what about a trailer or a truck? Also what is your wife's problem with the idea of having a van?
Comfy day so far. Only a bit of rain omw to the outer banks
>>27983425Sick as hell
>>27983455My buddy has a Ford van that he took the seats out of and bolted down some mounting points. Along with shelving to store gear. It's more protective than a truck if you end up staying multiple nights
>>27983425That your bike?

I don't know, man.
>>27983419wow how did I not think of that. not sure if I need a tank bag but it might be the only option within those parameters. thanks bud
>>27983496how much did it cost before you copped that refund?
I keep forgetting my handbrake on every time I try to pull the bike outside
>>27983508enough to tow a bike with, yeah
I did two hits this morning with the oil hot where it should have done it. Had a full 60 psi on the manual gauge the entire time. I think there's a bad pin or wire on the pressure switch circuit that's going open circuit from vibration at redline. I'm going to leave it hooked up like this for a while and monitor it, make absolutely certain it's not losing pressure. Meanwhile I'll dig into the wiring harness and see what I can find.
>>27983455Element.
Post a better bike
>>27983471Neat!
>>27983508what kind of bike we talking? one sportbike bike is like 3 small adults, which im sure you've had in your car at some point
Someone parked their Ducati next to my little Kawasaki and made me feel like a poorfag :(
>>27983546Yea I hate it but he probably just wanted to park next to a fren
>>27983535sportbike vibration is no joke on electronics/connectors. I've spent days chasing stuff with a multimeter before just to find out that a damper on an electrical component went bad or my engine mounts were adjusted wrong and causing harmonics
Red goes faster right?

>>27983218>being an adrenaline junkie I'd probably last about two weeks stfu pussy boy and 'mire instead
>>27983565When I was a kid my dad had a client that he was trying to get $40,000 worth of business from, and motorcycles came up. My dad told him a story about how my uncle borrowed his V65 magna and went through a school zone going 140mph, and the boomer lost his fucking mind. "A 1100 CC MOTORCYCLE COULDN'T GO NO 140 MPH!!! MY HARLEY'S HAVE 1800CC MOTORS AND TOP OUT AT 115! THESE ARE THE BIGGEST MOTORCYCLES YOU CAN BUY BUDDY!!"His ignorance was astounding. No need to worry about compression, or sport bikes, just displacement. He unironically though a harley davidson hard tail or whatever he had at the time was THE FASTEST motorcycle in the world. I asked my dad why he didn't correct him later, since he squeezed my shoulder when the guy started yapping as if to tell me not to open my mouth, and it's because the money was way more valuable than the argument. Plus the guy was a moron so he'd be stupid enough to pay for extras.
>>27983455>wifeyou lost before you even got started. rent a uhaulhow many times a year are you going to the track
>>27983538ez
>>27982493
It's a shame the 1100ex wasn't more popular. I honestly to this day don't understand why this isn't a motorcycle that made it through decades of production, and instead got a 5 year stint before being mothballed.
>>27983597weight, and it came out too soon before the "retro" phase started
>>27983552Yeah it could be anything really. My bike has all solid mounts so there's a lot of vibration going through everything. Luckily the pressure switch goes straight to the instrument cluster and no through the ecm, so it could just be a chaffed wire or something.
>>27983597nobody wanted to pay modern retro money for actual retro handling and service intervals.It's why CB1000R sold so much better, though still hardly at all due to to other reasons.

>>27983203I don't own it. >>27983558Leave that dealer before they tackle you and force you to sign. Buy a used one because it's usually just gonna need a carb clean.
>>27983715>force me This dealership is super chill. Very nice folk. It's where I got my last bike
>>27983721Every Harley dealer is "super chill". And then you sign and they're complete fucking bastards after that. I almost got into a fistfight with some retard boomer cause he wanted to make a small issue a giant shouting match so he could look cool in front of his floor workers.
>>27983723Sounds like that dealer was lame. I've always had good experience with this once.
>>27983723>he wanted to make a small issueWhat was the issue

>>27983731Lmao got me >>27983728I wanted a manual that they didn't provide with the bike and they wanted $74 dollars for a fucking picture book.

>>27983851tale as old as time
>>27983851If you look closely, you might get it.
in his defense they are mostly associated with red. "Team Red" is honda, yellow suzu, blue yammie, green kawabut honder makes some pretty blue, red and white bikes
>>27983866>>27983873What about Europe?
>>27983828>>27983861>regurgitated colors from first editionI like the old colors but why put them on some modern euro5 goycuck bike? You'd think with all the DEI hiring they would have more women to choose colors and stuff
>>27983852It depends, the XR is very high strung compared to the DR and doesn't have the best road manners unless you swap sprockets and get good tires on it. Plus it's kick start only unless you wanna add weight to it, which you shouldn't because that's one of its biggest qualities being a potentially lightweight dualsport.
>>27983901clinging to the ceiling and sheit
>>27983900The only Japanese supersports with color options at this point are Suzuki and I don't even know how they do it when sales volume is so low that any given dealer is going to have like one bike anyways.
>>27983509Cool bike bro
>>27983901woops
>>27983909>I don't even know how they do it when sales volume is so lowI've thought about this, Suzuki seems to be "just existing". Little to no innovation, smaller cc bikes look very cheap, GSX-R looks stuck in 2016...Are they just milking the Suzuki brand name until it closes?
Anyone ridden the low rider s? How much of a difference over a later twin cam dyna can you notice?
>>27983932>low rider sdont buy a half finished bike
>>27983654>hiding jawline behind a masknever gets old seeing the obvious troons on here
>>27983509It's looking at me funny.
>Give me 100 deposit and I'll make sure you don't have a dealer try to upcharge you for the price of a bike you've already named that you want.Shouldn't that be a regular thing you do? Fucking dealerships, I goddamn hate them. I'm this close to buying a China bike and never going to one again.

>>27983945F1300GS
>>27983928Suzuki's money is all in south Asian car sales and low displacement motorcycles. Even in NA road bikes might be the lowest profit part of the business still around.
>>27983947He could have picked a better line if he weren't in full lean.
>>27983954what? you pick your line before you lean.
If i've never ridden a motorcycle how long would it take me to understand the basics of clutch and rev matching?
>>27983963Leaning is how you turn and thus make The Line™. It's all connected.
>>27983948>523lbsWho the fuck rides these pigfat barges
>>27983936So what, ST or nothing? They're running accessory credit, I can get matching hard bags from the ST. I couldn't give a shit about the fairing.
>>279839652 days
>>27983969idk what youre trying to say.all im saying is it wouldve been possible to make that turn at that same lean angle and not hit anybody if he wouldve been on the right line
>>27983970Dentists, lawyers, medics, etcAnd you NEED the Klim Motorrader suit
>>27982530do you have oil leaking from the valve cover? it could be a blockage preventing the oil from leaking down causing a low oil situation at high rpm. that or >under load at high rpmmeans high acceleration causing the oil to move away from the pickup and starve the engine.
>>27983937That's not him
>>27983604Yeah my kawi has solid mounts too, you adjust the collars to position the engine between the frame as well as the tension on the engine. the dash was freaking out and a couple other small electrical issues and all i had to do was loosen the collars a bit.
>buy a used motorcycle>in three pictures you can see everything about it except for how nigger rigged the wiring is and whether they bounced it off the rev limiter for 6 hours>buy a used car>it has 19,000 options of various levels of criticality to your interest but all will post 2 pictures from the same angle and if they provide any accurate information besides "rolls on wheels" it's to tell you that it has the only engine available and a heater like every car built in the last 60 yearsNo wonder people just buy the biggest trugg they can afford if they need to haul anything when trying to get the tow package or right rear end gear in something reasonably sized to pull my bike transporting trailer is torture.
>>27984008Huh. Same. So it was just freaking out computers? Wasn't an actual wiring problem?Weird things is, my bike didn't have this problem for the first year I had it. I'm going to chase the wire and see what I can find first. Still debating on getting rid of this bike anyway.
My fren dropped low sided his cb300r last Saturday. Bent handlebars and brake levers, scrached elbow and sprained wrist. Nothing major though. Ride safe anons.
>>27983970How much do you think the H2 weighs?
>>27983558Das rite
>>27984063The H2 isn’t meant for dirt
>>27984049yeah, just the vibrations freaking it out i guess. harmonics are crazy. if i had to guess thats probably not your problem but its worth keeping every possibility in mind.

Wiring in progress, am retarded and only bought 1 6 pin block when I needed 2.Honestly it would've probably been cheaper and easier to buy a whole new harness from Ural than to fuck around with my shoddy wiring.New harness is like 30 bucks, just plug and play.
>>27983895yamaha was white/red/black for the longest time. It mirrors their company logo.
>>27984240would have used those water-proof connectors but whatevs.
>>27984117Cvo street glide with knobbies
>>27984257Sure would've been smarter probably and I was thinking about it too, but the bike originally uses these open 6 and 4 pin block connectors.Don't really feel like slicing up the new wire looms that came with my new handlebar controls.
>>27984080Yeah I'm betting I have a wire that's chaffed open and vibrating just right under load and shorting out or something. I appreciate that though, I will keep that in mind.
>>27983314Sorry I didn't explain well. A small amount of air in the radiator cap can cause the coolant to burp out of the reservoir under/inside of the bike, not out of the radiator/cap itself.Often happens when hot, could've happened while you were in traffic.
