PREVIOUS THREAD: >>28036517
How are the triumph 1200 bikes?
>>28038530PISSOUTMYASS
>>28038538triumph is assembled by poo poo indians
>>28038552How many times do you need your same question to be answered? nigger
>>28038561hes U N D E C I D E Dwe need dave back
>>28038478 But how's the bike?
>>28038432I don't have much experience with Kawasakis. Where do you think it comes from? Combustion chamber design, headers, exhaust?
>>28038567I just got back two minutes ago, and only because I was bingo fuel. Kalm Yo'tits.The bike is SO GOOD! On paper the R1250RS weighs about the same as a VFR800 but because the shaftdrive+boxer carries the weight so much lower than a V4 so it FEELS lighter and is a lot easier to flick. The stock pseudo clipons are great, just sporty enough without making me stiff after a hard ride. It also has all the torgs. All of them. It's like a Harley that actually revs high, and the shiftcam feels like VTEC when you get on it. The clutch pull is super light, and the stance is more relaxed than the VFR, or even a V-Strom 650 because it was made for tall white people.I'm actually considering trading in my V-Strom for this R1250RS. It's just the best sport tourer I've ever ridden. Goddamn.
>>28038549I'm going to Japan for work soon. Yay
>>28038530wheres the map??!?!
Out here
>>28038530Got a new key chain
>>28038606No sovl
>>28038604I think I've seen this bike on /pol/.
>>28038614If so it's a repost idk, I only post on here, /out/ and /an/
>>28038604At a cabin?
Was just going for a high speed run and at 182 my rear tire must've picked up a rock and threw it at where my left ass cheek was off the side of the seat. At first I thought my chain let go. That shit hurted
>>28038631>at 182ban, eoy
>>28038576It seems to be intrinsic to all of their 4 cyls. Even on the big engines, comparatively between my zx14 and my buddy's busa, my zx14 exhaust note has this higher pitched buzz than the busa has. My hunch is that is has to do with combustion chamber design and cylinder head flow characteristics. All different combinations of headers and mufflers, I can still tell a Suzuki from a Kawasaki. I can't really tell a Yamaha or a Honda apart though, they sound the same to me.https://youtu.be/IufGiYu7pns?si=ZEljnZhA_t5mUKfN
>>28038644You should be able to tell a Yamaha and Honda apart, Yamaha R1 and CBR1k have entirely different firing orders. R1 has a cross plane crankshaft that gives it the same order as a V4.
>>28038644i can beat these guys in tucking
>>28038648Maybe he's talking about CBR 600RR and R6.
>>28038631Based madlad
>>28038648The R1 is also canceled because that uneven firing order does terrible things to gas mileage.
I'm gonna go to Spain (Fuengirola) with my coworkers again. it's the annual all-inclusive holiday we have. I've been given the green light to rent whatever motorcycle I want for 4 days and I can even get a hotel covered by work for some epic long journeyeven though I ride a CBR600F4i at home, I really like harleys. I've got the option of a road kind vs heritage softtail. both are slow but which one is better for long touring? I like the look of the heritage softtail more but the road king is supposed to have less vibrations. anyone got experience with these? last year I was riding a 1200T superlow and that thing was slow and it vibrated like hell at highway speedsI just want a V2 machine that's comfy and has that V2 sound
>>28038658id get the road king. it must feel really good to be king of the road. and then you can "KANG" post.
>>28038597外人
>>28038631I’ve got a white zx6r but in a few years I’m gonna buy one of these. Two or three sport bikes isn’t the ideal stable for most but it will be for me.
>>28038593>Kalm Yo'titsI can't, it's almost bedtime and I needed the information. Sounds good, can't wait to check it out myself. Might also get to compare it to the 1200, I like it more visually. Also did it feel small to you? Might just not be used to it, but damn it felt low, like from the seating height.
>>28038654It's not canceled, they're just not selling road versions in yurop cause their laws are gay.2025 model was just updated actually.
>>28038675>It's not canceled>you just cant buy it
>>28038604based outsides-man
>>28038654If they're canceling a bike because of its gas milage then it must be pulling the overall Yamaha gas milage down by a fuckton. Is it in the single figures?
>>28038649Putting your peepee between your legs inst a technique, its mental illness
Sayonara, Rin-chan! Trading her in for the R1250RS today.>>28038672It felt more relaxed than the Japanese bikes I'm used to and smaller than a Harley.
>>28038699>TRANNIESmental illness eh
this is your reminder to check that your throttle isn't sticking
Remember that hole in the R9? I put my hand through it, I put my hand in the Yamahole...>>28038413If you're talking about WR250 anon that's a different guyTried out the MT-09 today, really really love the engine and totally get the appeal, feels like the throttle is on a hair trigger and it can disappear out from under you. R9 makes way more sense to me now, seems like the linear power and torque people obsess over with Ptwins but delivered smoothly without ridiculous engine braking. Surprised more manufacturers aren't making models in this class.Don't understand the seating situation however, who the fuck likes not having a windshield? When we got on the freeway I could feel myself pulling on the handlebars because my body was put into a sail position. I know that the MT series is for posers who don't get past fourth gear on the street but good god it felt like my actual steering was being effected by just how much wind I was catching at any given moment. Outside of parking lot that riding position fucking sucks.Wanted to try out the T7 but the guy at the signup desk told me that the lowered T7 wasn't available so I probably should try riding the bolt instead. I still wanted to try it out but it killed my confidence pretty hard and I went home/blogpost
>>28038538pretty sweet
>>28038704If you spotted throttle issue, why did you layerdown instead of slowing down?
>>28038708cute paw
>>28038708Triples are inherently horrible balanced motors so you need bigger balancer shafts when you could just add a cylinder
>>28038701anon i dont mean to alarm you but, your bike is blue.
>>28038708Yes that's why nakeds used to be called streetfighters, they're larp bikes for urbangroids who don't go on tour or track. I like my sport tourers with full plastics and comfy high clipons.
>>28038723It's a very nice blue.
>>28038708very soft, dainty, feminine hands anon.
>>28038731Kerbal Bike Program
>>28038701nice wee strom :3
>>28038728it has words on it
>>28038735She was. She's still a very good bike mechanically, and I warned the BMW dealership to keep the matched Bakuon keychain for added value.
>Buy clip-on windscreen extender from Amazon>It's clearly been opened, and is missing all of the mounting parts>Return it, buy another one>Exact same thing>Buying it from anywhere else would mean an extra $50 and a month's waitTime for round 3.
>>28038613Nice
>>28038731i like it
>>28038708>Lowered T7Why would you buy this? There's already the Tracer 7, V-Strom 800RE and Transalp.
>>28038701Guess I'm not used to street bikes (or bikes with low seats) at all, I had some weird moments today. Also got to check out the GS 310, that shit was hilarious. Reminded me a lot of my old WR.
>>28038621Nope just a regular campsite by the river. It's about an hour of dirt roads to get out here, ~20mi, lots of sand and soupy gravel shitJust spent like 45min soaking
>>28038648Cross plane obviously excluded, it sounds like a V4. I'm talking about the flat plane Japanese 4 cyls.>>28038690They could just go back to flat plane but they won't. Yamaha hated based sport bikes now.
>>28038758The 310s are pajeet made bikes mostly for the Indian market and MSF classes. I remember Big Rock Moto tried a serious review of the G310 and the basic answer was "just get a dualsport" lmao.
>>28038758Nice, I rented a 1250RT for a day recently and it was great but I think the RS would be the ideal bike for me, has the sportier sport tourer look that I like more. Hope you enjoy it
>>28038771Ian literally only made his channel as a way to claim his bikes as a tax offset. I hear he's pretty happy about all of the long-term loaner bikes he gets though.
>>28038788genius lol
might sell my zx6r and mt-09, and get a r9 if the ergos arent too steep
>>28038771Yeah, I know, but since they were there anyways I had to get on one. After riding the overweight GS for so long, the tiny GS just felt really light.>>28038780>Hope you enjoy itWe'll see, so far only sat on it. There's a lot to testride still, have the F900 GS open and hopefully the Big guy 1300er GS as well. Wanted to go for the S1KXR but since the weather is ass I guess this will have to wait until next year sadly. Got to sit on the M1000xr, and while it is kind of ridiculously gaudy, it felt like a great place to be on. Guess a normal S1KXR will suffice for now, since I don't have 30k to blow on a bike currently.
btw shoutout to pasta rocket/gixxer750/zx6r with fucked up oil light/bike healer/zx14 anonThe steel wool did just the trick and my forks are looking way better, still need to take apart and repaint my triple but the forks don't look like they're about to snap at any moment anymore. Thank you C:>>28038722got any more redpills or further reading on this? I really enjoyed my ride so I'd be interested on why it's such a bad motor on paper and why a bigger balancing shaft is too big of a compromise for other manufacturers to want to take a shot at something that seems well beloved by its community>>28038725>they're larp bikes for urbangroids who don't go on tour or trackI always assumed this but never realized how true it was until I could feel myself pulling onto the bars just from how hard I was getting hit by the wind. Makes seeing the V4 duc nakeds so much funnier now, I always laughed at the obvious flex only bike but knowing how shit it feels to ride is even funnier.>>28038730not really, they're pretty dried out from working with sanitizers constantly, I try to moisturize to compensate but J512 has fucked up my hands for good>>28038755>Why would you buy this?It was a demo ride anon, they lowered it so it would be easier to ride on pavement for the variety of rider heightsOn a side note, at the demo every person who got on the T7 started standing on the pegs like a fucking retard, why do they do that when they're on pavement.
>>28038807You should definitely try the biggun. I question the wisdom of taking it on anything much worse than a fire road but the boxer is a fun engine.
>>28038798The Tracer 9 GT is sexy too
>>28038813>got any more redpills or further reading on thishttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vU7faKiQleM
>>28038814>usually takes a crane to get them outThe behemoth was absolutely the star of the show, at least for all the gentlemen over 45 years old. Had some great fun with the Adventure and the old folks, trying to figure out together why the tank was so weirdly angular. We came to the conclusion that it must be most likely to store a coffee when you're on a break.
>>28038713felt like it needed adjusting, is all.
I love being not poor, bros.>get new loan for R1250RS>approved instantly>magic Jew score goes *up*>>28038819my MSF instructor did it on a GSA, looked like he was on a medieval warhorse to my noob ass
>>28038829>I love being not poor, bros.>get new loanahahahahahahahahha
>>28038780The RS is amongst the most boring thing I've ridden, short of your mother
>>28038830Wise use of credit lets me put ready capital in places that I can grow it. The payment is actually less than on my old bike because interest rates came down.
>>28038681Clarification: YOU can't buy it.
>>28038731These sound phenomenal in their natural environment.
>>28038836All BMW S1000 series bikes are boring in a way that makes them great track bikes since they allow you to focus on the course or route and learn your braking points/apexes faster.Porsche Cayman levels of neutrality.
>>28038829>>28038837Please let this be bait.
>>28038829>medieval warhorsekek, yeah once you come across someone who can handle these things properly they absolutely get down and boogie. It's kind of hilarious because these things don't look like they can move like that (or shouldn't be able to...)Sadly my time with the 1200er was cut short because of a flood, but that bit I got to ride it was pretty fun.
>>28038862at least he has good posture :)
>>28038813>they lowered it so it would be easier to ride on pavementMy point is that anybody who would modify it to be better for the pavement should just buy something that was made for it like the bikes I listed. My choice would probably be the V-Strom.
Is the top speed of the r9 already known? if it's locked to 212 km/h like my mt 09 that would be very gay.
>>28038787well said. I'm coming from a 6th gen vfr and I agree- especially the part about respecting that slightly top heavy feeling. when doing parking lot practice I had to smack the foot down many times. I'll say this and I mean it in a good way, IMO vfr makes you a better rider if you're not a pro already
>>28038530based op
>>28038813>knowing how shit it feels to ride is even funnier.Depends, some might think fairings will make the ride less exciting.Ghostrider pulled a wheelie at 350 km/h on a turbobusa without fairings.
>>28038708I wanna emphasize btw, I was able to fit my whole arm through. The Yamahole is crazy wide, looking forward to seeing if someone will post a video of them trying to lift through it.>>28038877>My point is that anybody who would modify it to be better for the pavement should just buy something that was made for it like the bikes I listedThey're just trying to negate the chance of some shmuck showing up for the free ride to drop it on a low speed turn or stop, I agree with you but the lowered version is for demo purposes only not to actually make a sale based on that.
>>28038918cute hands anon
>>28038813>got any more redpills or further reading on this?No, if you like it you like it and that's what matters when it comes to choosing a bike. I just find that that middle ground between high reving screamers and torquey twins isn't for me
>>28038708>>28038918>tfw you will never get to see r3's yamahole>let alone touch it
>>28038918london
>>28038918okay the evidence is now overwhelming that you're a lovely woman
>>28038918Nice Yamahole!I guess it's fair that they would lower it for a demo day, but hopefully nobody will actually buy one based on how easy it is to maneuver and get your feet down.
>>28038920fuck off
>>28038951u fack off he's mine!
>>28038658Heritage are nice. Classy n comfy
>>28038668Idk what that means and I'm not gonna learn. Fuck um
>>28038954post your slow bike, then ill post mine and you will see thats its faster and you will see i deserve him
>>28038918This is you
>>28038813Maybe I'm just Built Different but wind blast has never really bothered me on a naked bike unless it's cold enough to actually chill me. There's just a certain combination of core muscles that are engaged and I don't ever feel like I'm being "blown off", but nakeds and dirtbikes are really all that I've ever ridden so maybe I don't know what I'm missing.
>>28038951:3
>>28038708Have you tried not being a little twink sissyboy>>28038918>those handsOkay I guess you tried at some point but embraced it, carry on

>>28038968He's being overdramatic, fairings are nice for the highway and especially longer stints or real cold days but unless you're getting turbulence directly on your face nakeds aren't that bad. If it's enough to affect your steering you either need to change up your posture and lean in more or eat a few burgers and get a gym membership.

Low speed handling is great tho.>>28038930>No, if you like it you like it and that's what matters when it comes to choosing a bike.I'm not choosing a bike, I actually just wanted more reading. I don't have a great understanding of engines as is and really like learning about how they work.>>28038817This anon did me good though, I really liked this video and it was very informative even if my understanding of the information isn't all there yet.>>28038950>but hopefully nobody will actually buy one based on how easy it is to maneuver and get your feet down.I would hope so too, I don't mean to grandstand but it was kind of upsetting seeing how many people did the Harley foot dangle at the stops where they would tiptoe either foot on the ground rather than planting left foot down and right foot rear brake. The only other person who stopped the bike proper were the instructors and a girl a few inches shorter than me.I saw a 50+ year old man on the super T doing the bowlegged foot dangle at a stoplight>>28038966>This is youThat is not me I really really despise anime and would not like to be associated please.>>28038968>Maybe I'm just Built Different but wind blast has never really bothered me on a naked bikedo you spend a lot of time on the highway? It makes sense for street riding I totally understand that but once past 65-70mph it's unbearableMaybe it was just the lack of tank pads or grip from my jeans causing an insecure seating position>>28038973>If the wind bothers you it's because you have literally no testosterone in you.Everyone has testosterone in them anon>>28038996>>Gaymu gone>well we have r3 nowpls do not compare me to gaymu>>28039013>change up your posture and lean in moretried that, worse

>>28039054did you died?
>>28038883I don't think we know anything. Its probably got a completely different tune and gearing from the mt09. Its supposed to replace the race teams R6 so Yamaha better have waved some kind of magic wand on the R9. It looks like it has a bigger radiator so it probably makes more heat, so good sign there.
>>28039057not yetIt's been 100°F+ all day, water good
>>28039058Thanks. I'm more hopeful now.
>>28039022Yes, quite a lot of time on the highway. My (now ex) gf was like 80 miles away from me, I'd ride 50 or so highway miles then cut through the mountains down to the coast to see her. I'd average 80-85mph highway whenever there was no traffic.
>>28039022>even if my understanding of the information isn't all there yet.just binge the rest of the channel, it's worth it

>>28038883My flashed FZ09 will hit just under 150 so with proper aero and sportbike gearing I imagine somewhere in the low to mid 160s is pretty realistic
>>28039091900cc the piece of shit better do 160 lmao, either way its getting smoked by a gsxr600 and 750 so not point in buying the cuck9.

any cawfee bros?
>>28039133I did the same when I tried out a harley sport glide.
>>28039129>DroveMaybe you are lost anon but we are in the daily ***bike*** thread. 3 hours would be fucking insanity, the 91/55 corridor is honestly the worst traffic in Southern California for a few miles but it goes by fast lane splitting. My reward for not getting merged into was riding a freshly repaved Ortega highway, which is a really, really nice road if pleb traffic isn't too heavy. Florida plate crossovers that don't use the turnouts are the bane of my existence and that road is too winding/blind for even my dumb ass to attempt illegal overtakes on most parts of it. Saw her once every other weekend, that was enough. Trip would be about 90 minutes to 2 hours depending on time spent lanesplitting and number of retards on Ortega.
>>28038704>this is your reminder to check that your throttle isn't stickingThis is your reminder you have a clutch and a kill switch. It's wise to use the kill switch for all shutdowns so doing that becums instinked. If clutch cable breaks or hydraulics fail the kill switch will still do its job.

I was pinned up as far up as I could in the seat so I could grip the tank better but I still couldn't grip the tank hard enough to not slide a little back on acceleration against the wind.>>28039096>>28039104>This is southern California, 85 on a bike doesn't even get you a glance from road pirates.I was coming home from LA one night doing 130 down the freeway and the CHP officer camped on the side of the road just flashed his brights at me as I passed by and didn't even pursue>>28039133Okay but they only did this on the highway sections and not the lowspeed sections where standing would give you more feedback with the handling>>28039082will subscribe but have bad ADHD so it's a lot harder to soak up more complex information like this unfortunately.

>>28039178>I was coming home from LA one night doing 130on what, you just got a bike that can do it lol
>>28039178I rode my XSR700 with an overpriced Corbin seat that was a bit wider and had the pillion built way up into a pseudo-cowl to hold my ass on. Swapped to lower/narrower XSR900 bars to tuck myself slightly more forward and used 1" drop pegs because I'm too big for the bike. Every 5-10 minutes I'd switch between jamming my crotch into the gas tank and squeezing the tank grips to take weight off my cheeks, and then push back into the cowl and lean more forward to relieve gooch pressure. I'd sometimes stand up and rest my right knee on the pillion seat (do not fucking do this) when I knew the pavement was in good shape and it typically wasn't a windy area to stretch my legs and relieve my ass entirely.

>>28039194>you just got a bike that can do it lolthis was last week, didn't feel like specifying. But nighttime when the roads are clear is usually the best time to open the throttle in a straight line (on roads you know)>>28039195>had the pillion built way up into a pseudo-cowl to hold my ass on>clearly has a windscreenwell that doesn't fucking count I'm talking about a naked that actually literally doesn't have anythingcool pic tho, are u Mr wr250>>28039204It's just an anon from here's notes, they looked really nice so I saved them. I like saving anons from here's pics, there's a lot of cool ones.
>>28039216So you're the one who larps as other anons eh?
>>28039216nice silver swingarm bro
>>28039220>So you're the one who larps as other anons eh?I never larp as anyone, almost nobody recognizes people by their bike. If you choose to assume every picture is a declaration of identity/ownership without expression of that fact then you may be using the anonymous image board wrong.Besides, I like recirculating the cool pics. Most anons are flattered by it.
>>28039226So yeah, you larp as other anons.
>>28039178Ever been curious about the kick of a 2smoke speed maschine?This 350 is faster than the MT 07
>>28039226I wonder if you've saved one of mine.
>>28039226based anonymous anon
>>28039247Based on what?
>>28039226Have you saved any of my Yamaha R6 blue/yellow/silver pics???
>mention r6>thread diesHATE IT!
>>28039231Elsie is a legend. I was there while they made their name.Find someone that can find parts first because thet're an expensive anchor if you can't.
>>28039231>Ever been curious about the kick of a 2smoke speed maschine?2 strokes are terrifying to me, every little bit more that I learn about them makes me question how the fuck anyone ever got good at riding them. Unpredictable power and a whole lot of it at once sounds like something better reserved for dirt riding where loss of traction doesn't put you at risk of horrible death inducing highsides. That and the having to rev it the right amount to not weld the piston head into the engine is crazy to me>>28039239>>28039249no, handlebars on a supersport look silly, it's a good bike but it doesn't look great when you mod it to be a commuter. Also never been a fan of yellow rims. Appreciate that you keep it clean and love it a lot tho, loving your own bike is far more important than the approval of others.Besides, I'm a sucker for clipons, prefer how they feel in my hands for handling and massively prefer them aesthetically

>>28039300>I think those are lame poser bikeswouldnt riding around the street with clip ons with your butthole way in the air be more poser than riding a uncucked superbike with street bars? also gymkahana isnt stunting okay its basically perfecting street riding technique. theres no wheelies or skids. https://youtu.be/fXWVYtsf43Y?si=CZ8jmtvz6kJY1Cjp&t=1

My buddy who grew up in the 80s and was into motorcycles then said gixxers were squid bikes back in that time too, guess it hasn't changed much. Except it used to be cut off jean shorts, tank top, backwards hat, and bleach blonde mullet in that time. This particular friend also had the original two stroke Kawasaki H2 that he bought new. He sold it in a sudden moment of clarity when he realized he was lucky to survive it's ownership for so long, and cut his losses while he was ahead.

>>28039415good place to battle
>>28039419You're alone and you know it, Lawrenceville chomo muttoid.
Was riding on my yamaha xv250, and suddenly noticed the shifter pedal sink way down. Was possible to shift up but not down unless I used my hands at a stop (manual transmission heh). Surprisingly the whole thing stayed together till I got home. When I loosened the footrest bolts, I saw this crap. Where the two holes are were the mounting bolts for the foot rest and one of the engine mounts (snapped thing directly on the right) were. I got a replacement engine mount off ebay, but how do I fix this?Bolts are in okay shape and the nuts that were on the back of the bracket are too.
>>28039430>You're alonetime attack
>>28039430Don't bully R6 anon.
>>28039444thanks for defending me anon, feels good
>>28039410my rule of thumb is put him in the position just without arms lol>>28039404MOTORCYCLE
>>28039441Not the context of alone that I meant, but I wouldn't expect a pedo avatarfag to understand.
>>28039437Pic 2/ a few others.Here's the view of the nuts. The one with the bit of metal attached matches the hole on the bottom in the first pic.Order runs like this - screw cap, washer, rubber gasket,cast footrest, rubber gasket, shifter bracket, motor mount bracket, broken metal in pic above, and spot welded (?) nut in the back.There's a few mm's of a gap between the actual structural frame of the bike and that inverted U thing that was welded onto it.i was thinking of buying a 1 inch wide steel sheet metal that could slip under the existing piece but no idea how to rig deez nuts there. Any gaps I'd fill with epoxy.Ideally would try to /diy/ but on the other hand not sure if it would be fine as a load bearing member.If I take it to the shop, how much would actually welding this properly run me?
sposed to stop raining later this afternoon. gonna take the 09 for a rip me thinks

>>28039271When are you getting a viffer to complete the red bike collection?
>>28039584>cable throttle>750 has A and B power modesthis only works with electronic throttle control
you may not like it but this is what peak style looks like
>>28039584>>No imprecise or glitchy electric throttle, just does exactly what the fuck you command it to do
>>28039437>>28039458r6 expertise needed
>>28039613I'm not sure man, VFR is pretty based honestly. 6th Gen would be cool, I really like those. I like kiwianon's solid white VFR.>>28039635This still happens sometimes with electronic systems, because the secondary throttle plate are electric. Sensors can be out of adjustment. Luckily though, Suzuki was based enough to give you the specs for the tps in the service manual (you did pirate a PDF of the esm, right anon?). Just back probe the tps connector with a multimeter and adjust the tps until the voltage is in spec. No need to pay dealership fees for scanning the bike if it had fly by wire.>>28039622Then tell me anon, why does my 750 have two power modes AND cable throttle?
>>28039437A talented welder might be able to weld it back together. Take that piece and picture of the bike to a welding shop and ask them if they can do it.Is that the frame that it snapped off of?
>>28039654>why does my 750 have two power modes AND cable throttle?dual throttle valves. any modern engine control strategy would not let the user control manifold pressure directly
>>28039666Yes, and it also retards ignition timing. My zx14 is the same way. Cable throttle and two power modes.
>>28039671>Cable throttle and two power modes.You keep saying that like you have absolute control over map at all rpm. That's not how it works. The secondary electronically controlled throttles have the final say, you may only make a torque request.
>>28039671Also the only strategies that retard ignition timing are engine speed limiters and intake air temp compensation. You wouldn't retard ignition during normal operating conditions just because the user wants a more gentle throttle response it would waste fuel and could never get past euro 4 even.
ADV helmet + goggs is so nice for airflow Goggs gang rise up
>>28039584what a wall of cope
>>28039699Honestly tempting. I ride in cold weather so fullfaces fog up RETARDEDLY fast. Separating eye-air from breath-air might be good for that.
>>28039690No, I keep saying it like it has two power modes and a cable throttle, don't move the goal post. Secondary electronic throttle plates have been a thing for a long time, I'm not denying that, but with cable throttle, you absolutely have more control than fly by wire.>You wouldn't retard ignition during normal operating conditions just because the user wants a more gentle throttle responseNo, but you would limit the ignition timing advance curve as the engine climbs through the rev range, which kills power very easily.
>>28039705>Secondary electronic throttle plates have been a thing for a long time, I'm not denying that, but with cable throttle, you absolutely have more control than fly by wire.right...but your bikes "cable throttle" is actually not the final say in how much the secondary throttles open. the reason you dont get the final say in throttle application is because suzuki and kawasaki knows you would just go WOT and stall the air resulting in poor cylinder filling. Thats why they let you just make a torque request.>which kills power very easily.you dont grenade hundreds of engines and rig up millions of dollars worth of test equipment chasing MBT just to run a retarded timing map for when the user is feeling lazy
>>28039720I see what you mean, and yes you are correct. However, cable throttle still feels smoother and snappier than fly by wire, which is the point I was making. As for the ignition timing, you know I'm not saying that it's running negative timing right? Just that it pulls back timing advance throughout the overall curve? As in, B mode is going to have a lower overall advance curve than A mode.
>>28039703Its nice for airflow on hot days or offroading.If you want to eliminate the fogging get a pinlock.My other helmet has one and I never even think about fog anymore. The arai fogs up really fast.

>>28039736>B mode is going to have a lower overall advance curve than A mode.Without electronic throttle control yes you would implement ignition retard strategies to reduce power but it wastes fuel and it's not what the oems implement. Its easier to just control the manifold pressure electronically. The whole issue is not stalling the air with an engine that can operate between 1000-15,000 rpm. You can't just go wide open throttle at lower rpms, no amount of ignition advance or fueling would keep it running. There has to be restrictions on how far the throttle can move especially at low rpm.
>>28039753you didn't do anything wrong
>>28039753>>kid walked out in embarrassmenthe'll be on /dbt/ in 6 months if not already.

>>28039799its fun when theres shit to do, but otherwise its just waiting waiting waiting and telling people we dont have X for their Y and that we have to special order it
just realized that if i bought a 50cc scooter some guy could just pick it up out of the parking space and put it in his car/truck and drive off...
>>28039807this isn't a problem that people in civilized cities/countries worry about
On my old shitbike, whenever I try to shift down from 1st or up from the top gear, the shift lever offers no resistance, it feels like I'm trying to shift into the void — and it makes total sense since there's literally nothing to shift into.On more modern bikes that I rode, I hit a hard stop trying to do the same. It feels jarring when bike tells me "nuh-uh, you aren't allowed to do that". And it's simply unpleasant when your foot hits a hard stop.
What age and mileage should be considered too old to buy?
>>28039907if you can still get replacement parts easily there's no problem.
Is Yamaha good for you?
>>28039907it's a sliding scale in my opinion, based on a few things like>type of bike>purpose of bike (off-road, touring, track etc)>previous owner>parts availability>complexity of systems on the bike (liquid cooling, older air aided suspension etc)>what you're looking for (daily, first bike, etc)for example a guy looking for a first bike who wants a used sport bike to daily may want something post 2004 with less than 20k miles
Uh oh

What do you do when you are stuck with a bike that you don't love, but there is nothing better on the market?
>>28039807at 50cc you will be relegated to only riding in japan where people respect life and property. anywhere else its a free bike and you will get ran over.
anyone have the gif of koguma riding on the road and then a yaris creeps up behind her but overtakes her gently and shes all relieved?
rather be drinking apple juice and riding my bike right now!
>>28040168>literally zero "better" bikes on the entire market than the bike you currently have and don't likewhen this happens to me I pull my head out of my ass, give that a shot
>>28040173Unironically this is my concern with a smaller ebikeI'd have a small scooter of some sort to throw in my trunk for travel if it wasn't basically free money for anyone.I worry that my bike is already a prime target for thieves and it weighs 300 pounds.
>>28040206>it weighs 300 pounds.cute!
>>28040168I'm a firm believer now that you can find the greatness in any bike if you look for it. You just have to be willing to look for that greatness. When I got my bike, I lamented in this thread that I should have got the KLR 650 that I was offered previously for cheaper. Then I rode it some, got it to redline, took it on an adventure, after mile 150 of owning it, I started to love it when I found the things I could do with it that I couldn't do with a KLR. And I realized that if I got the KLR, I'd have a long, uphill battle with a lot of the things I was wanting to do with it like dual sporting.
>>28039665It's not the main engine cradle part of the frame, it's like a П shaped thing that's welded on top of it. Idk if it can be fixed or needs to be refabricated.I'll try to get a quote, but idk if it's worth it, the bike has had a rough life. It's basically a rescue lol, used to be part of an MSF course down in Virginia for most of its life. Bought it during the coof for 1800 off a guy who was basically a reseller

>>28040213Cheaper and quiter than a Stihl saw. Bonus you get to keep the lock.

>>28040223nice honda!
>>28040223I agree
>>28040216>chained to what? gotta park inches from a light pole or something?Well yes anon, or loop the chain around the frame/wheel so the bike cant be moved IF you want to make it easy for the crackheads to steal your bike just leave the keys in it , you clearly dont want to keep it
>>28040117>>28040121story?
>>28040168what bike is it?
day 3 on liter bike. fucking ecstatic
>>28040224Y-you too!
>>28040227>ignoring what I said about being as useful as a steering lockI understand it's about layers I unfortunately used to work in security. I'd say a cover is more protection than a chain BUT a disc lock, steering lock, cover and parking it in a well lit high traffic area is the best way to make your free bike less free
>>28040208It's a real qt>>28040216 I'm paranoid about parking it in public to go get a coffee, even. I was thinking of one of these Kryptonite disc brake locks. Pick resistant, requires an angle grinder to get off which is not quiet.
>>28040237ultimately the problem is the guy with one buddy and a truck. I also am sketched out popping out for a bit, police where I live just do not care about stolen property or road laws since 2020 and everyone here knows that
>>28040241If someone wants your bike enough they will get it.Taking a fence or a wall down to gain access and lifting it out into a truck is a thing that has happened to my bro.The only answer to this issue is accidentally killing the he potential thieves in the act.
Some old harley bros, like the 80 year old ones who have been riding since the 60's, once said that the key to parking a bike outside is to make it look like a real piece of shit. so put a cover over it that is covered in dirt, has duct tape patches on it with some hand-sewing. put an old oil pan under it with a little bit of used oil in the bottom, deflate the tires a little, and keep a red shop rag on the cover that's stained and dirty.
