I love Yamaha
i wonder why no on posts in dbt anymore
>>27988521The T7 is already a very modern bike with an ECU, EFI and ABS.But it is marketed as simple and reliable bike (not that it isn't).This argument would be valid for older KLRs, but not for the T7. The electronic systems are developed externally by e.g. Bosch and sold by the millions, with little to no room for errors.
>no one posts in dbt anymore>DAILY bike thread
>>27988541Based Yamaha.
Guess everyone's using this thread now...>>27988507>tfw never throttle tube swapped my R3 through full year of riding>mfw about to switch to full size bikethat throttle throw is gonna trip me up when switching because R3 throttle throw mixed with the power on it teaches you zero discipline or finesse, literally just WOT through every gear and halfway throttle if you're not trying to get anywhere
>>27988556be useful to your community. Buy a Hydraglide.
>>27988529Thanks for using the picture in op. Based thread.

>>27988580You'll be fine fren. I adapted almost instantly after doing the swap on my mt-03. Just be mindful that you're on a bigger bike and that you need a lot less input to go and it'll be ok.
>>27988580I hate carrying luggage like this. It fucking sucks.
>>27988607I'm sure I will be, I did a little bit of riding on an sv650 for my first few rides on the street and it definitely humbled me but I got used to it quick enoughI'm scared of 100hp though...>>27988609Yeah lol, lugging my laptop around in my backpack today, any extra weight on the back sucks after like, 10 minutes of riding
waddap suckers
>>27988630wowee
>>27988630The R7 really is an impressive bike
>>27988635A Yamaha dealer told me that just the other day.
>>27988604>We have only ourselves to blame.I just said I wanted to drill his ass until I found oil... several times.If you are reading this, I still want to you italian cutie
>>27988642Crazy how many Yamaha dealers are here
>>27988635your rage baits are not funny >:(>>27988642never trust a dealer
>>27988650You keep replying it's so much fun.
>>27988617>>27988609>I hate carrying luggage like this. It fucking sucks.Kek, I carry luggage like that all day everyday as a delivery riderYou get used to it but it sucks when it's like 5 bottles of water and a bag of potatoes and you want to lean
>>27988654I will never NOT reply to r7=r1 post
>>27988658For delivery, milk crate would be easier, no?
>>27988660fair enough, I'm gonna stop for now.Enjoy your shitposting r1 anon
>>27988649Yamaha was an early mover on internet community influence ops. It's just a shame that Yamaha can't afford to build more than one engine in each displacement class. Putting the CP2 in the R6 frame is just sad cope, but these are the economic realities.
>>27988635Impressively mediocre from an exceptional brand.
>>27988658>You get used to itdifferent for different bikes, on a sportbike it sucks a lot more to be fully bent over the tank and have a heavy load on your back
>>27988529Just got back from a lunch break ride, hit local twisties for about 45 minutes. Just what I needed to clear my head and finish the day strong. Just a few more hours til the weekend, anons! You can make it, don't let the bastards beat you down in the home stretch. Riding at dawn tomorrow, gonna try to put 500 miles on the bike.
>>27988664Woah
>>27988661>For delivery, milk crate would be easier, no?Too small, think large family pizzas, and doesn't keep it warm. I could use a bigger crate and the backpack inside but then I wouldn't be able to lean because the food would also lean.With a backpack I can lean the bike and keep myself upright.>>27988670My bike has clip ons, sure they are over the triple tree but I also carry the food or groceries 5 or 6 hours per day and I have to climb stairs with it on my back.Scooter riders can lay the bottom of the backpack on the rear seat, I can't. It's always pulling on my back.You get used to it but it fucks up your balance if it's heavy
>>27988678op is a fag too
>>27988678Yah, big downgrade. If KTM can do an 800cc P-twin (the LC8) developing 95+ HP there's no reason Yamaha couldn't have done the same for the R7, except money. The R7 is a parts-bin bike. Kinda cynical move on their part, tbqh.
>>27988701Except the ktm will be scrap in 5 years and the yamaha will be getting its first rebuild in 50
Is it based?
>>27988707>not Chun Li editionDropped
>>27988690I thought you guys all used something like pic related strapped to the seat.>>27988704How many 80's Yamahas do you see on the street today? Nobodies going to want an R7 in ten years. Mediocre bikes don't get any better with time.
>>27988691i like when you post this one
>>27988711Would you need Chun Li style thighs to grip it?
>>27988707they did it again!
>>27988755Try hard. I expect more from an Italian bike company. Especially for what they would charge.
>>27988701>(the LC8)LC8Cthe LC8 is the V-twin
>>27988769What’s the compression ratio on it? I know Harley had to go 13:1 to make 120. While that things pumping 95.
>>27988769Sorry, LC8c
>>27988769>>27988773LC8c, this thing.
>>27988365>Tenere 700 are like these Jack Wolfskin jackets.>Yamaha sells you the idea of you going off-road, of you being Pol Tarres, conquering the desert.>In reality people use it as a touring bike with occasional light offroad tracks.>>27988505>I am just annoyed that grown men fall for these cheap marketing tricks.>waah i bought the thing and it didn't make me a better riderOh no, a company showcased what their machine is capable of when actual talent is present at the controls, despite it's target demographic and typical use case being far more mundane than the marketing would suggest. Chris Birch / KTM and Toni Bou / Honda did the 'lmao big motorcycle go brrrrrrrr' thing well before Pol and Yamaha with the 890, 1190/1290 and Africa Twin.Meanwhile every car/truck commercial ever >(do not attempt; professional driver, closed course)

Still a comfy day.Making a pit stop at home to play with the dog and gonna cruise the oceanfront after that.
>>27988839All your pictures and videos you posted prove my point.The machine itself is actually not capable of what Pol Tarres does, his T7 was practically rebuild from ground.>Pol’s new bike’s suspension is entirely custom, including a custom-built 48mm fork from KYBhttps://www.advpulse.com/adv-news/meet-pol-tarres-all-new-yamaha-tenere-700-bike-build-for-2022/

Raining on me today. Pic is from yesterday. It's nice and cool out though, and I have a full tank of gas, so after work I might go explore some trails if it's dry enough.
>>27988905whats in the box??

>>27988867The first seeker movie just had a tenere with tuned suspension and enduro mousses>Javi Echevarría, co-producer of the film, told us that the only thing they did was change the stock tires to Mitas knobbies, while the Tenere’s suspension was prepared by Erik Augé, with more oil in the fork for a stiffer, more stunt-proof ride. During some of the harshest landings you still hear both the front and especially the rear suspension clunk hard on the stops, yet Javi told us that after their week-long shoot the Yamaha “was totally in perfect condition after seven days of crazy riding to the limit.”https://www.advpulse.com/adv-news/trials-champ-pol-tarres-defies-gravity-riding-the-yamaha-tenere-700/
>>27988925N.. no you
>>27988910Some things you just don't want to know.
>>27988867>All your pictures and videos you posted prove my pointAll the pictures and videos I've posted are myself on my own bike, so thanks I guess. For now I still use the OEM suspension and valving (and no, it's not very good) - all I've done is respring it for my weight.First paragraph from your article>Fans of Pol Tarres and the seemingly impossible stunts he performs on big adventure bikes in his Seeker video series know that each year the trials champ brings a different Yamaha T7 to the set. In the first video he used a lightly customized bike with professionally-tuned suspension, while in the second Seeker film, his bike featured more elaborate refinements. >In the first video he used a lightly customized bike with professionally-tuned suspension, while in the second Seeker film, his bike featured more elaborate refinements. Not setting up suspension on a new to you bike is akin to never adjusting your seat, steering wheel or mirrors on your car.
>>27988938custom suspensions are dope and if i knew how much better my bike handles i would have done it sooner.
>>27988867I think you're drawing lines in the sand that don't really matter.>Pol’s new bike’s suspension is entirely custom, including a custom-built 48mm fork from KYBThe machine is capable, the engine is capable, the chassi is capable, the brakes and suspension are capable.Are they good enough for compeition use or hard enduro out of the dealership?No.Are they cheap enough and good enough for the average joe to ride out of the dealer while also being a be good starting point to transform into something that fits the individual rider.Yes.It's a street bike first like all motorbikes with a license plate are, the chassi and engine are good enough where you can get away with just upgrading the springs, which most riders who want to more serious off road do.I don't your point anon, it's a cheap middleweight bike, are you really shocked it isn't capable of doing enduro in stock form? Neither is the DR650 or the KL650 and those bike have a lot more off road credentials.
>>27988910Literally my work bag, snacks/water and vital sign kit.
>>27988951I've my own front end swap for it in the works. I'm waiting on a custom front axle and wheel spacers.
>>27988964i was looking at a T7 and still am to a point but my plan was to just pick up a cartridge kit and new rear shock from tourtech. why completely swap out the forks?
What's the most comfortable 1000-ish cc sportbike?

>>27988976None, sportbikes are shit for comfort.Get a sport tourer if you want an i4 and wind protection.

>>27988982This bike is fun to ride but what an eye sore.So fucking ugly it's unreal.The more Triumph tried to modernise it, the worse it gets.
>>27988982Great engine, needs fairing
>>27988989Is that what it is? Someone yelled at me and called me a faggot today while I was chilling at a light and I'm still wondering what I did to set him off.
>>27988973If you're going to ride it the way it was actually intended to be ridden - i.e. a mid-weight adventure touring motorcycle - even springs and oil are adequate for most. Unless you're professionally retarded like me and want one for 'because big dirt bike lmao' you should be fine with the 43mm kayabas.
>>27989001Oof
>>27989011Yes, a midpipe that relocates the muffler to where it should've been from factory.Go ahead and say it in any way, shape or form causes a restriction so we can all laugh at you.
>>27988449Got my bike back, 290 for a valve adjustment and coolant flush. All the guys had a good laugh about how clapped out my bike was and told me to come back soon lmfaoLeast I got a discount for not having plastics on it when I came in, seems to idle way smoother now
>>27988999Nice trips.But yeah there was a harvest moon this week. The worse one I had this week was a ute with a trailer the decide to go from the right lane to the left lane without indicating forcing me to ride the gutter. But thank the lord he hit some screws or nails on the road and half his tyres went flat.

I was looking at a 300L Rally while at the dealer yesterday and it got me thinking, is there really anything on the market that's a straight upgrade from one? Seems like everything with more power etc. is either a full-on Enduro without the big tank and wind protection, or it's a pigfat ADV that gives up a lot of off road performance. I guess the closest would be the T7 or 890/901 but they're still a big step from the "dirtbike with a windshield" concept. Why the fuck does nobody make a 450/500 with a big tank and a windshield?
>>27989273Drz400s exists anon
>>27989273you can put a rally tower on basically any dirtbike.
>>27989222Just save a new copy after you make your adjustments, or if you're lazy take a screenshot.
>>27988716>unzip my tent in the morning, pretty hang over, glare at the near-noon sun wondering if I properly closed the cap on the midnight piss-bottles, and the first thing I see when I manage to look over and focus my crusty eyes on my bike is this fucking tranny sitting on it.
>>27989278That's a very old-fashioned bike that lacks a lot of what makes the 300L so attractive (being a bulletproof and thoroughly modern bike with good headlights, cluster, none of the carb hassles, etc.) and it's got a significantly smaller tank and no wind protection out of the box. >>27989280Yeah, and I've seen plenty of people turn bigger dual sports into "light ADVs," but it's still dumb to me that you can't buy any bigger turnkey solutions, and even when you go aftermarket like that it's nowhere near as slick of a package as the 300L Rally, like you get some lower body wind protection with that and not with a dual sport you stick a tank and windshield on.
>>27989296Carbs aren’t a hassle, EFI fucking sucks and if you can’t learn to tune a carb you’re a moron.
>>27989296lol wrenchlet
>>27989303>t. mountainlet flatland rust belt flyover midwesterner with no bike
>>27989273Any four stroke dirtbike that you put blinkers, a rally tower, rally headlight, plate holder, and a sheepskin seat on. Preferably one with a long-ish service interval.
>>27989273I agree, the 300L Rally is definitely unique in today's market. I think it weighs like 330lb, which is way lighter than any 'Adventure Bike' I can think of.
>>27988529Chain gang Got my title transferred today. Last vin inspection I was told the vin wasn’t legible. I got a different inspector today. They still couldn’t read it and just copied it off of the title. Very happy about it
>>27989316Wut. The first gen KLR is only 337 pounds and that gets you 659ccs.
>>27989303>>27989305I'm anything but a wrenchlet, I used to make a living wrenching on race cars and still do plenty of my own work. However, I live in Central Oregon, a place with mountains and major weather swings, and I don't want to have to stop and retune my carb every time I climb 3000' or the temperature drops 20 degrees overnight. I also know than nothing I hack together is ever going to be as slick or cohesive of a package as what a factory can do, especially when it comes to things like bodywork.>>27989314>Preferably one with a long-ish service interval.This is one of the problems too. I know you can stretch the interval a lot when using a dirtbike as a light ADV but it's still not comparable to something like the 300L where they've basically put a streetbike engine in a dirtbike chassis. Dirtbikes also aren't geared for the highway and just changing sprockets isn't enough of a solution to that, you end up making the low gears too high that way, and one of the other great things about the 300l is that it's got dirtbike gearing in the bottom 5 gears but then a big jump to 6th for cruising, something you don't really get on anything else. >>27989316Yeah, exactly. Another big advantage is the relatively low seat height for what it is too, which makes it much more rideable in town or on some kinds of trails.
>>27989342Sorry, 652, not 659. Still, 330 is pretty heavy.
>>27989342That's dry weight, it's about 415lb wet. The 300L Rally is 335lb wet. That KLR is also a 37 year old design and even the newest ones are getting close to 20 so you're getting yourself into a project bike and something that you can't trust anywhere near as much as the stupidly dependable modern Honda, I know I'll get called a wrenchlet again but I prefer to do my wrenching in my nice warm dry garage and not kneeling in the mud 20mi from pavement in the mountains where if I can't get the bike going I'm gonna have to press the button on my InReach and be on the hook for a rescue bill that costs more than the bike is worth.
>finally get parts to get bike back on the road>ride bike down the street>rear tube is blown>was holding air before I left>scoot home on flat tire and rimgod damnit not another fucking thing right when I finished

>>27989381did u crawl inside the carcass for warmth
>>27989273CRF250/300 are unfortunately shit.They're heavy for what they are, no power and have marshmallows for suspension.When they announced the 250L and later the 300L, both times I wanted one until I rode one.What you describe exists as the 701LR.
shits fucked yo.
>>27989362Power to weight ratio makes a big difference, though. The KLR is a slow ass pig. The 300 is a caterpillar by comparison lol.
>>27989387It's previous owners I don't trust, not really the bike itself. >>27989396Damn that actually looks pretty sick, especially with a rally kit on it. Looks like Husky only made them for a couple of years or something though?
>>27989402I'm dreading taking my 390 apart to find a similar sight.It's to the point that I've just purchased another bike altogether.
>>27989278>Drz400s exists anon>>27989296>That's a very old-fashioned bike that lacks a lot of what makes the 300L so attractive I'd take my DRZ over a 250/300l any day.

We're so fucking back. I covered up the cluster oil light because no way am I going to put up with it flashing at me under hard acceleration. Just gotta throw the fairings back on when I get home.
>Harley at the topLmao
>>27989550>I covered up the cluster oil light because no way am I going to put up with it flashing at me under hard acceleration.Lol you know you're slow as fuck when you look at the cluster.
>>27989573If you have genuinely such awful peripheral vision that looking at the cluster, especially a flashing warning light, is hard for you, you probably shouldn't ride.
>>27989344Have you considered a WR250R? It may meet a lot of your requirements. It’s not in production but there are plenty of low mileage used ones out there. The service intervals are very good. I’m taking mine for a good rip tomorrow in central NH.
>>27989578u r gay
>>27989583Brother, being slow as fuck isnt bad its just funny you picked a sportbike to do it on.
>>27989573>>27989583cluster lights are annoying I covered the oil warning light because every time I leave the ground with the bike it becomes an obnoxiously distraction flickering red LED for several seconds. Cover the high beam indicators too, last thing one would want at night is glare from a blue LED pointed at their face.
>>27989587I am slow, but you also have shit vision.
>>27989587I am not slow, nor 636 oil pressure anon, and I will reiterate that you have bad vision.
>>27989597>I am not slowpost back tire
>>27989591Is the T7 sump not baffled????? Agreed, fuck the high beam indicator. Never understood why it got standardized as blue.
>Y-YOU HAVE BAD PERIPHREAL VISION OKAY!!1
>>27989597I am 599cc oil pressure anon and I am slow. I cruising at 125 this morning to work and got passed by a bmw1200 adventure with saddle bags and a top box
>>27989609you could be doing 200mph and youd still be slow, larping faggot
>>27989601Old Q5S that I cold-tore too much on my 250, I haven't taken a good tendy picture of my 450's Q5 yet. Not sure if there's actually a compound difference or if I'm getting smarter about tire pressures, but that hasn't suffered cold tearing.
>>27989607Always shoulder check
>>27988664>Putting the CP2 in the R6 frameI fucking wish, I would actually want that bike.

>>27989640I know I'm tall, anon, but you've called a fullsize bike a minimoto twice now this month, AND you're now going "doesn't count" that I'm on a track, AKA the place where you learn to get much faster.
>>27989557>Anything over 750cc is death incarnateIs that because anything smaller is safer? Or it’s because it’s too slow to reach terminal velocity?
>>27989660Because that is where you get the deadly combination of low skill and bad reflexes that is the midlife crisis new rider.
>>27989660>>27989557It's because you probably aren't going to be riding a 250cc at max speedI will say it's completely misleading. You see, the danger on say, a 250cc dirt bike or dual sport isn't traffic. It's breaking your neck when you get thrown from it after hitting a mud pit.I'm almost certain if you count all motorcycle related accidents, dirt biking is way, way up there. Maybe not on fatalities but at least on injuries.
>>27989663>>27989660Guys. Think. HARLEY. The smallest fucking bike they make/made was the 883. Of course the old Street 500s/750s aren't a part of statistics, nobody bought them and nobody rides them.
>>27989344The first half of your post I was gonna suggest a crf300l. A t7 is also a good pick if you're wanting a better adventure bike.

They're garbage shipped to you in boxes that are 80% assembled, and the remaining 20% needs loctite on it, and the first 80% needs loctite on it. They're bikes held together with loctite and dreams. BUTThey are cheap as fuck, they force you to learn how these machines work because of how you're forced to put them together and keep up with regular service intervals, and they last every bit as long as a regular bike you pay full price for. You just have to remember they won't have fancy things like changable oil filters instead of screens or fuel injection instead of carbs.

>>27989709I've seen that, the frame is different. Hopefully it's a completely different model and they continue producing the DRZ.If not, here's hoping they do it right and it's not a lethargic piece of shit akin to the KLX300.I don't know what the obsession with wanting fuel injection on a single cylinder is, it's way more to go wrong, adds cost, complexity and comes with bullshit like catalytic converters and vapor canisters. >muh throttle responseTM40 works tits with instant response on my DRZ . .
>>27989747>>27989749lovely
>>27989755Because jetting carbs is aids and a motorcycle should be able to go up and down large mountains into deep valleys without chucking gas into the engine oil.
>>27989755Catalytic converter and vapor canisters are not at all exclusive to EFI, they're just usually packaged with it as a manufacturer modernizes a bike for euro 5/6/CARB/whatever. If you ride mostly at the same altitude, sure, a carb on a thumper is great. If you do longer rides with actual elevation change, fuck carbs. You do have to pay to play with modern EFI, between EGR/air injection deletes, fuel programmers, etc, but the end result is worth it.
>>27989746upon further review I'm retarded and this is the full run (minus like 20 seconds around 2:10), the second half is just massively sped up.

>>27989982you need oxy acetylene to cut a chain?
>>27989992High front fenders do a lot for actually looking like an off road bike
>>27989418Honestly, anything else aside, I've looked at some DRZs and they're too tall for me. Maybe down the line when I've got more skill it'll be a different story but I'm a 30" inseam and the 300L, which is a couple of inches lower and has really squishy suspension, is right at the limit of rideable for me. >>27989492Could be an option but the badass rally kits only seem to fit on the LR. >>27989585I have but it seems pretty even with the Honda and I'd rather have the windshield etc. from that, plus I just like the way it looks better. >>27989677Yeah 300L Rally is what I'm pretty much set on. T7 is definitely on the shortlist for the bike after that but I want to git gud on something smaller first. >>27989744I'll buy used if I can find the right bike at the right price. Actually there's a 300L Rally with good upgrades (Olhins suspension etc.) on CL right now but it'll probably be gone by the time I'm ready to buy. Dual sports hold value so well in general that you don't save much buying anything used that's less than 5-6 years old though (from what I've seen it's often the same price but with some aftermarket stuff on it) and while I'm fine with wrenching I'm getting a bike for the purpose of getting me into the backcountry and I don't want a clapped out shitbox that's going to strand me there. China bikes are a problem for that last reason and I also just refuse to give China my money when I can avoid it.I'm down for an older bike down the line, a restomod kinda thing would be really fun, but not as a primary bike.

>>27990055theyre designed to take a tip over without causing catastrophic damage so its just baby cosmetic shit that would need to be repaired.
>>27990055Frame sliders or a cage.What bike? New or used?
trying to get a used r7 from this dude, but it looks like he hasn't paid off the damn thing, should I risk it or walk away
>>27990063If I'm being honest with myself the bike already kinda looks not great, there's a shitty patch job on the tank and everything. It's just the idea of ME dropping it that makes me uncomfortable, I guess. >>27990066Used 2014 VFR. Kinda fell in my lap, not really a rider or anything, but figured I'd give it a shot. Don't really have the money for frame sliders or a cage, tbhq.

I bit the bullet and finally bought a dorky windscreen extender and seat cover for my bike. They'll probably look like shit, but the comfort difference should be worth it.

>>27990062That is technically more than any other <90hp bike with a naked and full fairing version bothers to do, albeit it's because the MT07 frame is such a noodle.I have heard some people say the R9 will actually have its own frame making it more of a legitimate R6 replacement just using the CP3 for emissions simplicity rather than being a dressed up MT09 but we'll see if it's true.
>>27990140Are all these guys friends?
>>27989872If I did I wouldn't be taking pictures. I have seen some "sketchy situations" like a uhaul truck down one of the hardest trails I've ridden, over 2 miles from the road. I asked no questions and immediately fucked off.

Why do people say you should put a boot on before kicking a bike over? I've seen kickback on harleys. Is it just as bad on a big thumper?https://youtu.be/NN-4WwCVZyk?t=42

>>27989227Best fix is strip the tank, remove corrosion then torch braze the leak shut. However if you want to seal it you can sand the area down or sand blast to give the metal plenty of tooth, then apply aircraft fuel tank sealant. Semkit and others make "B-half" which seals nearly every US military aircraft in many roles from fuel tank to canopy to panel faying sealant. Every mechanic needs a kit. It gives no fucks about diesel or hydraulic juice, let alone fuels.https://www.aircraftspruce.com/catalog/appages/proseal09-04493-4.phpThe price has gone up but it's a non-invasive way to seal small shit.
>>27988719v-max, xjr400 - everywhere
>>27989336Since that's not a stock frame you could restamp in future if necessary (or take a clear pic with your phone then zoom it which is much better than a magnifying glass). What's it titled as?I don't see a top engine mount. They're cheap or ya can make something interesting. Also if the carb lacks a carb brace or the air filter housing backplate isn't attached to the cylinder heads that should be corrected lest ye have surprise intake manifold seal leaks down the road. There's an even better way to support Evo carbs which is the Ram Jett solid intake (make gaskets from gray Fel-Pro since they're out of production but readily available used). The ones stamped "E" fit S&S carbs (B or later E, I ran both over the years. The only ones that don't are narrower and stamped "S" for Sportster.I've slung loaded my engine off the intake with no issues.

>>27990247Yeah I need to figure out a top motor mount, picked up a cheap one but don’t like it the fit. Its title as a 90 softtail the motors form a 92 fxr so same thing hit just a different vin, vin is there on the frame it’s just covered in powder coat, all thought I knock the “HD” in it down pretty bad trying to sand away the powder to make it more visible. I don’t plan on selling the bike so how that I have a title I don’t care really have. The carbs looks set up and supported fine but I appreciate the advice. It’s got a cv carb on it, the old owner was running it without a filter which seems insane to me. The only use 500 or so miles since a rebuild so hopefully no serious damage was done. The whole bike has needed a bunch of little shit dialed in, it’s been a good excuse to get to learn a bike I didn’t build. What you riding, obviously have some experience with Harleys

I am looking to rig up a CSC TT250 (Zongshen) as a supermoto and tune it for horsepower and speed. Can I do anything besides the filter, exhaust, stroke and bore to seriously increase performance? Thinking of ordering it as a supermoto then modifying it, is pretty cheap.
>>27990748What country are you in? I can only give advice for burgerland, but that advice would be that a used DRZ >>>>>>>>>>> cheap Chinesium
>>27990626Flat tappets are designed to spin on the cam for even wear. Roller tappets can be retrofitted into flat tappet designs, but not the reverse.So if they're making someone else's roller cam head designs chinese while trying to use flat tappets then its gonna destroy the cam, but usually the rollers or the tappet retainers break first.
>>27990751Nah it's a solid bike, gears and steel, not a lot of electronics. I just want to pull some more horsepower out of it that's the thing. All I know is filter, exhaust, stroke and bore.
>>27990758Besides tires and maybe trying to reduce weight (I doubt it weighs much) thats all you can do
