Electric bikes are nice too.
Reposting this from last night >>28045870Gonna go pick up a charger this afternoon and see if I can get some more life out of them
90s bike for 1.6Or 2007 bike for 3kHonda VFR. Preferably would like to hear from long term owners cuz I have no idea if one can easily source parts for em.
>>28046918Tenders tend and chargers charge. Splitting may confuse modern chargers so I don't do that (chargers/tenders are cheap enough).To revive batteries I often connect an old style dumb transformer charger (cheap at yard sales) for a few hours or overnight then use a meter to check mfrs "resting voltage" which is normally 12.7 but often much more. See mfrs website. Once the battery awakens it goes on a tender (I use Yuasa since they'd be wildly unlikely to fuck up their own batteries provoking customer backlash.)That works most of the time. I store batteries indoors during winter in a plastic tub etc so I can monitor them (and use them during power outages).
>>280469462007 definitelyt. 2003 owner
>>28046946Honda OEM parts are generally easy to find. I worked on them since new but we got very few in the shop for more than fuel system cleaning caused by dumbasses who don't drain their carbs before storage.Tell us more about them than the price. Condition matters. I have no issues buying 1990s machines which are the latest I own but I do all my own work. The '07 all things being equal condition wise would be worth it but if money is tight and the 1990s machine is in very good condition I wouldn't be scared of it. Insist on seeing in person either start from a cold engine.
>>28046901Harley Evo owners would be wise to screencap my posts from >>28046857
luv me boxer
Did anyone really ever ride their mid 2000's custom crooooozers?They just seem like weirdly shaped driveway ornaments.
>see superbike / sportbike>if it's a man he's just positioned normally>if it's a woman 99% of the time their ass is sticking way up and outwhy are women like this?
>>28047032Everything women do is about sex or babies.>but what aboutyes, even that.
>>28047032Literally built different.
I’m going to sell all my bikes and get a DR650
Transalp!What's on your wishlist anon?
>>28047052Tiger 800
>>28046946What gen 90s? You can't go wrong with a 90s VFR but the 98-01 is especially good
>>28047055nice
>>28047052I got one of my dream bikes! Now the only things left on my list are bikes that don't exist yet (Buell) and branching out to either supersports or dualsports and learning track or dirt riding as a beginner.
>>28047032I don't understand, you better post some explaining images
>>28047052Honestly I'd be very happy with an xrv750, there's something very striking about the shape and colours that captured my imagination as a kid and hasn't let go since.How is the old girl?When I did a chunk of the TET before I went into the dirt an old man on a blue translap was just getting off, the smile he had on his face.
>>28047032Their bodies are built solely for fucking and making babies. All the strong girl bossing in the world won't change biology. Women are happiest when they've gotten a gotten a good pounding, they crave it.They also crave male attention, because without it, they literally die and they know this feel down.
>>28047032>Implying
>>28047052>What's on your wishlist anon?legally passing tech
>>28047044dr650 as ur only bike isn't a bad choice
>>28047087>old man on a blue translap was just getting offuhh and you just watched him???
>>28047052>chain n sproket>tires>bash plateI haven't seen Santa in a mint I may just have to get it myself lol
>>28047087yeah the XRV750 is magical, such a beast. And with those dual headlights and colours, iconic. Doing lots of TET in Scandinavia this summer, I fell in love with the Transalp though. It was the only reliable ADV in my budget, and man, it just ploughed on and on. Sitting at 140 on the Autobahn for 700km one day, crawling over lose gravel the next day. Potholes, dirtroads, mountain ranges. My '92 model is even rated for E10 fuel, which comes in handy in some remote parts of Scandinavia, hauling my ass and luggage to the fringes of the continent. Even when it broke down - It sat outside of a shop in the soaking norwegian rain for ten days, while waiting for a replacement alternator. No worries, starts right up and takes me home obediently. It's a motorcyclists best friend, loyal, simple and as capable as you want it to be, even today.I will keep this one and make it into my ultimate ADV machine. Needs some suspension and ergonomics work, but it will be glorious.
>>28047138Damn that sounds fun. How is it for standing up on? My experience with small ADVs is that I had to pitch dangerously far forward to grip the bars while standing.
>Yamaha's new "street friendly" sport bike>featuring 30% less fuel range than its competitors>ergos tighter than a Ducati>and the thinnest seat pad you have ever seen in your life
>>28047141I'm 194cm (6'4" ish) and I cant comfortably stand up. Thats what I meant with the ergonomics needing work. Will get "bear trap" footpegs that are lowered by 4,5cm plus a handlebar lift. The seat is already filled with stiffer foam and raised by a couple cm. Met another dude with a fully modified Transalp (Tank from the RD03, custom suspension, aluminum fork bridge, larger rotors, exhaust, steel flex lines, custom dash etc) with these ergo adjustments and I could comfortably stand on his Transalp. Dude drove from Germany To Nepal already and now made his way from the Nordkap to Portugal.
>>28047160Man, that sounds like a lot of work. I'd probably just go with an Africa Twin at that point.
>>28047015That's a chopper. Not a cruiser
>>28047096I agree. Not sure if I should buy one brand new, or get one that’s a couple years old with all the goodies already on it.Should work well as my only bike either way tho. Nice bike monkee man. How’s that windscreen working out?
>>28047156Me + Yamaha = DONE
my gf is mad my cbr is in pieces all over my 4 seasons room in my house.should i tell her to leave?
>>28047211>should i tell her to leave?Of course
>>28047044Based.>>28047202Planning on getting a new one myself. For me, I think part of the fun of having a DR650 would be making it your own. They are such a good blank slate for customizing.
>>28047156Literally all they had to do was make it an FJ900 instead of an R9. Share sport tourer lineup room with the Tracer 9 like how Suzuki has the GX and the GT. But that would mean they'd have to bring back the R1 and R6 so lol.
I dun goofd
>>28047218Yeah, buts expensive. A lot of that stuff is obligatory anyway. Bark busters, jet kit, skid plate, larger tank, maybe a center stand, seat, the list goes on and on. A reasonably priced bike can get expensive fast. But also I know how much damage someone can do to a bike in a mere 2 years. We’ll see. I’ll see what the dealer wants to do, if I can get a good number for the dyna I’ll just trade it out right. If not, I’ll sell it on the craigsbook and find a used one.Either way I think we’ll see me shitposting zuki before Thanksgiving.HYB
Someone Is selling an imported cb400SF that "Needs some carb work done" near mehow bad of an idea Is to buy that with no real experience and basically no right tools (and very Little space) apart from a very basic toolbox? Don't think i'll find another One easily here and owner already had some bigger stuff done to it, price seems negotiable at least, can get the normal cb400 with the twin for almost half the price,half the kilometers and in perfect running condition so that's also to consider (Only own a 350cc single Motard now that was my First bike)
>>28047052An unmolested SRX600, realistically. A s2r ducati monster (the one with the round headlight), optimistically.
>>28047231Half the fun of a dee arr is doing all that though. It's like the Install Gentoo of motorcycles.
>>28047236I just like riding bro. If I wanted to wrench I’d keep my Yamaha :(
Hurting
So today I figured out that about 90% of insurance cost on a financed bike is just loan insurance.>insurance for bike with $1X,XXX loan on it: $2500/yr>add fully paid off second bike: +$70/yrFucking (((banks))), man.
wild willys out boys
>>28047242Dee Arrs have basically infinite parts availability though. Much of the pain of a dead bike is waiting on parts.
noticed a price drop for used tracer 9 gt's recently, will be monitoring further
>>28047266fucking menace
>>28046946I still miss my 92.. Facelift is better though, they redid the carbs so you can actually adjust them while they're on the bike.
what are the youtube channels for retarded crashes and motorcyclists doing stupid shit?
>>28047284https://www.youtube.com/@dirtbikelunatichttps://www.youtube.com/@MotoMadnesshttps://www.youtube.com/@moto-starshttps://www.youtube.com/@CrashBanditoNLthere's plenty more of course
>>28047277can't take this guy anywhere I swear
>>28047296>moto gymkhana intensifies
I don't have places to go.
>>28047269Yeah, that’s the truth. It’s too bad my XT is so dickered. The list of things that are fucked is long and extensive. I said if I enjoy riding it I could justify getting a new dual sport. I’ve really quite enjoyed it but for about 10 hours of riding it needs about 2 hours of wrenching. I’m over it. Nice new DR, I could live without the Harley too. >verification not required
>>28047303Yeah you do, you just don't have enough patience to get to the fun part of a ride.
>>28047002This air intake absolutely ruins it for me.I would be interested in r9t if not for that eyesore.
Fellas, should I buy a 1988 Honda CB30 for 2500? It got a 750cc inline 4 thrown in it and all it needs is its fairings painted and mounted.1/2
>>28047303>do some epic touring to some cool place I picked out on google maps>realise parking isn't free >head to the autobahn and go home
>>28047308Itll be my first bike that I wanna keep for at least 2 years.
>>28047310no
>>28047306Yeah that looks almost urethral somehow. The modern boxers look way cooler (R1250R/RS/GS).
>>28047312Why?I probably should clarify, I have a lot of dirt bike experience. This is first STREET motorcycle. I also have no interest stunting like a squid.
>>28047227>>28047261So my bike is even more fucked up after rearending that bitchSmashed my balls and legs on the bike, at least I can still work with it, but the leg pain makes it hardSorry baby
>>28047315Are you planning on riding this street bike a lot? If so, I would seriously urge you to get something made in this century.
>>28047315That doesn't really explain your desire to buy a vintage project bike you don't know the name of.
>>28047323Define alot. I'd say I would. I generally prefer machines with Soul like pre 2010 bikes so.Are parts not easy to source or something? The bike im lookin at is a running, low mile, rideable machine.
>>28047326Some people only learn things the hard way, anon
>>28047327What if I told you it will only run reliably on premium ethanol free gas? Are you ready for that? Parts? Forget about it.You’re gonna do what you’re gonna do, anon, but consider this the advice you came for. Get something made in this century.
>>28047326>You don't know the name of>Assuming I didn't do that intentionallyAh I see you fallen for the bait. Good least you're paying attention.
>>28047332>modern Harley fagThat explains alot actually. Metric bros should be the only ones worth chiming in.
>>28047333 (trips) Nobody wants to buy your fraken-shitbike out from under you, anon. Stop being paranoid. For $2500 you could get a sportster 1200cc, damn near brand new Xr150L, the list goes on and on and on. I think you should get it. It’s better than being a nobike. Just remember what the consensus was.
>>28047338Damn guys the nobike knows better than the Harley boomer I don’t think I’ll ever recover
Also did you guys hear? DR-Z is supposedly getting fuel injection for 2025Suzuki bros I think we’re back
>>28047344Why the hell would I want a inferior harley when Indian exist.
>>28047348Many an anon has made that same post over the years, they actually went out and got the Indian too.They all ride Harley’s now, or they went back to dual sports
>>28047349Guess they didn't like to go fast then even if I believed you anon kek
>>28047347Add that and give it a 6th gear and it's Dual Sport of the Year, All Years.
>>28047348Indian makes exactly two interesting bikes, the Scout and the FTR. Anything else is a cheap knockoff and you're better off buying a used Harley for the money.
>>28047355Have you ever been fast, anon?
>>28047202I'm the anon u responded to, you absolutely should get a used one with the accoutrements already on it. saves you thousands and there's barely any downside. if you have to replace old used up bits you'll get an intimate understanding of a very simply machine. thats a baja windscreen and I loved it, if you don't mind the look it takes the edge off of longer rides, definitely not necessary but if you tour with it it's nice
>>28047347>>28047356I would buy one of those so fast holy shit. It might be the ultimate Seattle bike.>climb hills>climb more hills>goon through traffic>can get out to the trailheads without being towed or feeling like you're riding a paint shaker at 6000rpm the whole way
>>28047360In cages yes. 187 was my personal highest speed. >>28047359Ok and? Those two bikes alone curb stomp the slop Harleys been pushing out since the shovel/knuckle head. They don't even compare. I'll always go with America's oldest motorcycle brand over Hardly Relevantson.
>>28047375>Ok and? Those two bikes alone curb stomp the slop Harleys been pushing out since the shovel/knuckle head. They don't even compare.The Pan America is better than either of them. Harley CAN make modern designs, they're just choosing to wring all the remaining money out of the boomers for now instead.
>>28047320Looking at the picture the angle of the forks seeems different now but personally it doesn't seem bent.It seemed alright riding back home but can barely move my legs and it's raining so couldn't test it very well
>>28047390> The bike with electrical/starter issues and occasional engine stalling is better than either of them
>>28047242This was a good watch anon, thank you.
>>28047231Isn't this true of basically any bike? If I wanted a Harley I could easily spend 4 figures just on making it fit me, before I got into any performance modifications.
>>28047396What happened bro? Crashing always sucks but at least you and the bike survived.
>>28047399yes lol
>>28047417Common harley cope. Your L good sir.
I feel like I'm destined to buy an NC750X and this saddens me.
is it true you can test engine compression with your thumb?I'm about to get delivered a 1983 Honda Sabre VEEFOUR and the seller is just a kid who boughtit from someone elseHe doesn't know how to make it run so I imagine the kid just isn't smart enough to do researchI'm gonna expect the worst but I heard if the compression is good, everything else can be replaced.Anybody have some experience with the old V4 Hondas?
>>28047361Yeah I’m a big fan of your bike. I’m sure there are lots more bits you’d like, but if you’re not careful you can get into t7, 701, gasgas, and 690 territory fast. Definitely some sweet deals to be had right now. I’d be crazy to buy one brand new.
>>28047449People go crazy with DR650s but that's about all you need.>bigger gas tank>crash bars>skid plate>barkbusters>luggage rack>maybe a windscreen
>>28046901
>>28047440A compression tester is like 20 bucks, man. Just spend the price of a pizza for a more accurate gauge than "durr it blew my thumb off the hole"The big issue with those 80s V4s is the cams are made of crap so you need to baby them with good oil or else they'll melt away.
>>28047440>>28047461You can also just find the size of the spark plug and see if a local parts store has a tester for rent with the corresponding adapter.
>>28047457Don’t forget jet kit, risers, and new bars.
>>28047461>>28047475thanks frenshopefully the issue is surface level like a solenoid or a even a carb clean
>>28047375>polaris >americas oldest brand >186 in a cage>fastState of nobikes. Be sure to post your bike if you ever get one
>>28047412I rear ended a car bro. I don't know what happened for sure, it was raining heavy but I think she just stopped to let out a passenger.I'm happy that the bike is still rideable though, it would suck to lose my transport/ job.I slid and hit my balls on the tank and I think I hit the legs on the bars. Feels like I took some baseball bat hits on my legsTomorrow is probably going to be rough
>>28047457I understand the small gas tank is a problem... however... the aftermarket ones (usually) make the bike look like shit and ruin the lines and shape of the bike. I know it's not exactly a locker stock, but with the giant goofball tank on it looks like pure autism-on-wheels.
>>28047544Are you touched?
gimme good bike gamesi have gta 4/cyberpunk but don't like the lack of customizationshould i buy gta 5 or save up for gta 6 and just bear with it?are there any other games that could fill the void?
I tried racing ones like Moto22 but its too simulator like for me to get into it (fall off my bike every 10 seconds)
Gonna lowball this boomer right now
>>28047560That's fucking hilarious. How much is the twat asking?
>>28047574$12k lol. The whole ad silly. Basically he built it to ride with his kids but his kids think it’s gay so he now he wants a gaxxerI will offer him $5000
>>28047348>Polaris trashLamayo
Just finished wrenching with an ikea tool set. My rear brake lever is bent ffs, are they easy to swap out? Already 130 EUR in parts for a single 20mph fall.

>>28046946Get the gen 4. Parts are easy to get, except for fairings. This is the best one. Never a problem with the carbs.

>>28047869I sat on a tigger spurt 660 at a dealership and it was about the same size as a V-Strom 650 so if you enjoy ADVs and tribbles you'll probably enjoy the tigger 800.
Retard here. My bike is still pretty new, 2500miles. However lately when trying to start it the first time pressing the button nothing will happen, subsequent attempts it'll start right up. What do?
The maxi scooter is objectively the best format for a two wheeled vehicle and I'm tired of pretending otherwise. They are basically the nuclear power of bikes, because they're so good that we're just not allowed to have them for that reason alone. It's like a vehicle so optimal (best in practicality, agility, efficiency, comfort) just can't be cool by definition. You can't give me a reason why the object in this photo (a Honda Forza 750) isn't better than YOUR bike, for YOUR use case, without mentioning looks, coolness, or sexuality. I would like to start a movement for autistic people to take back the narrative on bikes and make maxi scooters acceptable.
>>28047880I'm not a city slicker
>>28047875Are you letting the fuel pump finish its startup? You can hear it buzz as it gets power the first time.
>>28047846I think that was probably me. Glad you found her. I have Rin and Raimu. Do they even make the others? I would assume they did.
>>28047880actually basedbikes are ultimately toys
>>280478801. inferior power for climbing over mountains at highway speed2. inferior torque for hill starts and passing power3. inferior storage space unless there's 100L in there4. no phone charging port
>>28047880Road King is superior in every way That’s not even a motorcycle, you’re in the wrong thread retard
>>28047770Youll get the difference of an i4 vs a single as far as that goes, but compared to other options it would be underwhelmingHed be better off getting a 600cc+ supersport if he really wanted to see
>>28047888That's most likely it. However it was always much quicker to startup before, which is what got my attention. Before it was always immediate, but the last couple of days it changed. I'm just wondering if the change is a concern.
>>28047894That scooter does 0-60 in 3.9 seconds. It's faster than most bikes and almost every car. If this is what you can come up with, it's a massive cope. It also does have a charging port as well as a glove compartment. >>28047897The road King is a lot worse actually
>>28047906You’re objectively wrong. Post your bike.
>>28047906My smallest, slowest bike is an 800cc V4. Your scootybooty is a massive downgrade for me, personally.
Going out at night and hitting all my favorite roads when no one's around is my favorite C:post /nightride/
Seatconcepts stopped putting the little badge on their seats and now has a crappy little tagit's over, billions must stand
>>28047891I just searched in related items until I found a 'toyslogic' selling one. Which I think is one of the same Chinese shell companies in california who sell all Japanese gachapon sets on ebay
>>28047906how tf is this thing so fast
>>28047905You said it's new so I'm assuming it's fuel injected. Have you had any changes to the fuel you're putting in?
>>28047925City boys pass 20 cars in 15 seconds and be like 'damn, nobody is around'.
>>28047940It is fuel injected. Always premium from the same gas station.
>>28047942cars weren't on my side of the road
>>28047938it's a scooter using a Hornet 750 engine
>>28047950Check your owners manual on fuel types. AFAIK unless you're hearing pinging, never run premium or high-octane fuels in a new bike. My owners manual mentioned something about this that I can't recall, but basically the extra octane can be hard on it unless you're really trying to get some piece of shit to work like a Chinesium bike.
>>28047843Why cagies will never truely be free, they can never let go of their emotions.
>>28047232First, terrible idea it will become a barn find for some picker 30 years later.Second, Honda is re-releasing the CB400 next year.
>>28047880Why are you posting Kanedas bike?
Are bike meets full of the type of people you would expect? I really just wanna meet someone local who can show me some neat tricks and backroads I’ve never been to
>>28047880gayest take on /o/
>>28047880I hate maxi scooters because they’re such a compromised piece of shit. They’re too wide and big for congested city driving. So who gives a shit if it’s got a 3 second 0-60? Too top end limited on your Honda Forza 750 at 110 governed to enjoy highway cruising when you aren’t absolutely blasted by wind knocking your fat ass broadside around, and it can’t corner through hills and mountains because it’s a fat pig. Typically have tiny 14 inch scooter tires with itty-bitty contact patches and less lateral load holding. And the big displacement ones are always heavy as fuck which means they can’t grip the road. And get smoked by a 350-400cc naked standard. But then you’ll scream >It’s not a performance machine! It’s built for comfort!So is a Honda Goldwing. Which is faster, more comfortable, and just as, if not more, adorned with storage and lighting and even has a damn cup holder. You know what else gives you the same essence of freedom and excitement with much more storage space and safety? A Miata with the top down.Why spend 10 grand on a fucking oversized pretend bike with a lounge chair seating position? Because your insurance premiums cost more than your monthly gas bill? Because you are so out of shape that riding motorcycles exhausts you? At least even on a fat ass Harley you’re able to enjoy the sound and smooth torque with out the DCT sucking the soul out of your ride.

>>28048040You sound like the kind of faggot who barely rides his bike. How many km do you ride per year? I guarantee there are a lot of maxi-scoots who ride double that.Also, I just want to point out that if you really think about it a Goldwing is an extension of the same concept as something like a TMAX (which like a Goldwing is also not a scooter). They do the same job, just at a different scale.

Finally a nice day today going to enjoy going to work today
>>28048167>tfw it rained so hard today that my legs got drenched even through my rain pantsI still wouldn't trade it for anything. I'm going to ride every day and nobody can stop me.
>>28048170yeah going to feel good not putting on wet weather gear today
>>28047412>>28047880>like a vehicle so optimal (best in practicality, agility, efficiencyNo, too pigfat
>>28048175The worst part is putting on your gear while it's still wet from the day before.
>>28047988It only says above 87 octane and below 10% ethanol. I've been using higher octane because I run it hard enough that I'd worry about knocking on regular.
>>28048209>hang up gloves to dry overnight>still cold and wet in the morningI hate it.
From helping out with the storm. I have 9k in a money market account for my next baiku. If I wait two years while riding my rebel 300 and gain 2% interest I should have enough for the baiku options I wanted. Question though if I like to man handle my current bike and have been looking at the xsr700 and scl500 mainly which would you choose if you are both short and hate highway riding?
>>28048048Single. I actually really like the 286cc honders.
>>28048274I don't give a shit about wet gloves but wet sloshy boots grind my gears.
>>28046934To the anon who was asking about a clear shot of the other side. I am not an expert on this bike as it was my dad's. Dad rebuilt the motor on it 3-4 years ago from the crate motor he used previously. He was pretty hard on it maintenance wise.As for the solenoid setup, I'll have a peek. Thankfully, I haven't had any hesitation around startup, but I'll have a peek. I grabbed a copy of your reply since it had a lot of good places to dig on the bike. I plan on taking care of this SoB
>>28048327> taking care of this SoBi want a battle sister to take care of me bro
>>28048327Someone will add this to their collection

Rode Hornet 750 today.How the hell did Honda manage to create such a competently joyless bike?It isn't bad, it isn't slow, it isn't even that uncomfortable, but I see absolutely no reason why would anyone lust over it.The engine is ok, I think it would feel nice on tranny. But honestly NC750X is more interesting to ride than that.Hornet 750 and its engine completely lack _it_.
Now it looks like a catSeems to be riding well

Is is possible to tell when a carburetor is tuned without an O2 sensor or do you just cope and hope it doesn't blow up?
>>28048686Yes they do and the XD-4 has been on closeout for a long time that's why the only size left is xs.
>>28048619Are you mobileposting? Try editing the photo slightly. That seems to correct the orientation for me somehow.
>>28048597>Sorry I just woke up is this a recent modification?Yeah, kind of>>28048610I’m surprised. But I can’t shift and bend the leg/ lean very well so I still haven’t tested 100% but seems good so I’m feeling thank you
>>28048696I know.I hate that I missed on a $550 blem xd4 in my size a few months ago.Then I could put the savings towards a photocromatic visor.I'll stick with my current helmet I guess.
>>28048048I have three bikes and they average 1.33333 cylinders.
>>28048695people have been tuning carbs without a sensor since the first engine was built. Did you let your neighbors brother tune your carb?
>>28048466Hello Texas anon
>>28048707If you're not dead-set on Arai, the Scorpion AT960 and the carbon fiber XT9000 are decent helmets, both are ECE 22.06
>>28047360you clearly have never been, with 2in chicken strips lmfaoo
>>28048726Stop it right now mister
>>28048728I will NOT
>>28048736Think ur hot stuff huh? Want a prize or something?
>>28048712I have no idea what I'm doing yet.
>>28048742yes, gimme a kiss
>>28048746LOL ok. In the end, it's mostly about how the bike feels when you are riding. Let that guide you.Also, narrow-band (not wide band) O2 sensors can be had from the auto parts store for $10, and you can read them with a multimeter. They really only tell you which side of 14.7:1 you are, but that's good.Generally you want to be a little rich at full throttle (for power), a little lean at part throttle (for good fuel economy), and after that you just make small changes to address things that annoy you.There's youtubes and such on using a cheap narrow sensor.
>>28048768Do you know a lot about carbs? I have some questions.
>>28048770I do in that I've been suffering with them for many, many years.
>>28048773How do you figure out the best carb size for a 2stroke? If you go up too much will the increased air lower the air pressure and give diminishing returns?My NSR 125 has a 160 cylinder but stock 28 carb, I've seen people put 30, 32 and 34 carbs. Is there some header/ cylinder/ compression ratio formula for optimal carb size?
>>28048783OOOOOOO an old two stroke!!!First off, ALL your questions will be answered in this book:https://www.vintagesleds.com/library/manuals/misc/Two-stroke%20Tuner's%20Handbook.pdfSecond, as Gordon says in the book, the ratio between the bore size and the carb size determins the speed of the air through the carb. More speed means lower pressure (the venturi effect) which means you have to lean the jets.
Coffee time. The foreign bird looked at me funny when I asked for sugar in my drink.
>>28048797Nah why's it flipped like that?
>>28048796Grab that PDF and check page 151. I think that answers your question about formulas.
>>28048801About to have some coffee myself and stare at Coronado all day.
>>28048327HELL YEAH BROTHER
>>28048686They are still in stock on fortnine in other sizes
>>28048847>$700+that's lovely, but I was only willing to buy one for around $400 max. Already have a krios that's good enough for me.
>>28048801>whybecause I touch myself at night.
>>28048796>>28048802Thank you my man! Great info thereProbably go for a dellorto flatslide too with cable choke
>>28048863The Mikuni's are very, very good as well.DESU I'm not sure the added throttle response of a flat slide is all that good on the street, especially in corners.
>>28048867They do look good but the inlet size is different so I'd need an adaptor. I think the dellortos stay the same>>28048867What do you mean bro? My objective is turning it into a joyride/ twisty machine
In theory, what would the benefit be for this? Would it have the same benefit as inboard brakes in a car?
>>28048874I mean you hit a bump in the turn and accidentlt blip the throttle and break traction at the rear.But I don't know how much power you're making. My last street 2-smoke was a Kawasaki S3 400cc triple. Shit was cash.
>>28048881Dunno, shorter line, slightly more protection for the disc and calipers? Seems dumb.
>>28047088This but unironically, you literally see all thos e-prostitutes posting themselves online for the male gaze and at the same time crying how they get messages from men, they've been brainwashed so much by feminism that they don't even understand the consequences of what they do.
>>28048881If that's one of those ATK machines, he was all about using drive chain geometry to improve power and braking. With this setup, the brake rotor doesn't pivot along with the swingarm, so IN THEORY you get better rear brakes over bumps.
>>28048885It lightens up the wheel/swingarm assembly by the weight of the disc and caliper, which has to be significant prior to the current innovations in cast swingarms.
>>28048886Women brainwashed by feminism don't become e-girls. They go into management.
>>28048891Anon, all women, 100% of them, are brainwashed by feminism, even a grandma has been feed feminism 24/7 everywhere.
>>28048893Angry incel detected
>>28048881>>28048887As well as this you also have less unsprung mass at the rear, also improving suspension performance. You also get greater leverage compared to the same size rotor on the hub, hence why it's so tiny. The downside is you're relying on the chain for your braking and you'll probably end up with lube on the rotor.
>>28048925Explains why the chain is so clean.
>>28048586Some people just like riding, and derive joy from the experience of operating a bike rather than the quirkiness or character of the bike itself. For me the perfect bike is one that seamlessly blends with and extends my perceptive space, so that I'm feeling the road through my tyres rather than the bike through my seat.
>>28048852Man you are fucking dumb
>>28048852You know revzilla is in USD and fortnine is in CAD right?
>>28048736>>28048726>calls out someone for tendies>while having even larger tendiesNever change dbt
>>28048929>>28048930Yes, and it still works out to nearly $550 USD, sans shipping & tax.I already have a few helmets, just felt like for under $400 I wouldn't mind adding an Arai just to see if it really is all its cracked up to be.
>>28048925>you'll probably end up with lube on the rotor.The brake disc and caliper has a cover to it.
>>28048882It will be making about 29 or 30 hp from the stock 27. Pretty good for such a light 125
>>28048935Buy a used one if you dont want to buy new.I looked at XD4 prices at multiple different places before I bought mine.Lots of places didnt even have one, or if they did it was still at full price and was the wrong size.>>28048686 An XS for 50% off doesnt surpise me. I doubt you could find one in your size for that price.
>>28048931It's a shitty photo but it looks to be worn to the edge, Anon.>>28048736Focus, motherfucker.
>>28048928Hornet 750 doesn't deliver on that either, unlike Trident 660 or even a fucking 450NK, I expected Hornet to be more like them but no, you operate a machine instead of telepathically controlling your flight.

Cawfee bros...
>>28049016>everyone on their phones...anyway how's the wind protection thing for the camera, does it work well?
>>28049033I took it off and use an external mic routed into the helmet, much better.
>>28049036Guessed so, but at that rate if I keep on adding cables to my helmet it will look like a transformers cos play
>>28048955>Buy a used helmet.I'll be ok.

Part shipped woo!>>28049078There is 1 cyclegear near me and it seems like a weird teen-early hangout spot. Every time I go in there the employees are hanging out and their friends come in and stuff. It's kinda weird but I guess I'm too old to understand

>>28049087Wow people hanging out in a store? Yeah so weird. Cringe dork.

>>28047096>dr650which year from should be the best to get
Okay, I decided: I will get the N(P)C bike.I cannot find a better motorcycle. And my tinnitus triggered by today's ride reminds me that I NEED to get a different bike.The pain of choice: 2018 S for 7k, or brand new X for 10k.Red S looks so much better than any X honda currently offers.What do newer models have that a 6yo model does not?
>>28049112any >2000, they haven't changed. the one in that pic is 2009, not that it matters
>>28049112It doesn't matter, they've been unchanged for like 20 years
>>28049104>Mom come look, I'm participating!Kill yourself.
okay I got one of these, what's the best way to mount it to a rear rack?
>>28049142some mini ratchet straps
>>28049142Zip ties are traditional.
>>28049142Can a pizza fit in that?
We’re all gonna make it bros
>>28049185>hes never seen a milk crate IRL beforegrim
>>28049142Did you steal it? It’s bad luck if you didn’t steal it.
>>28049189What model harley is that?
>>28049210lol I was unaware of this sacred tradition. I can neither confirm nor deny if I grabbed it from the side of a building in the city. probably was a crackheads lazyboy if I had to guess
>>28049224Fucking based. I’ve got a cozy milk crate I’m saving for the DR650 I will buy soon. Personally I would sink bolts through the tail, and use a metal plate on the inside of the crate, and the underside of the fender, but zip ties and ratchet straps are acceptable too.>>280492152005 Dyla Lowrider FXDLI, with a few simple mods.
>>28049236I was thinking big azz washers on either side and bolts myself but if I get lazy I may end up with zips, maybe straps. gonna spray paint it yellow first of course. I'm praying on your success getting a dr650 but you're making me miss mine (posted ITT) now
Lots of shilling from cfmoto online recently
>>28049270Been that way for awhile. The chinks are using YouTube shills
>>28049189I hope not
>>28049142Here's mine. Stainless steel 'T' bracket sandwiches the milkcrate to the top rack. Stainless hardware with lock nuts keep it tight. I have a weld shop at work. milkcrate is a 24qt type. More rectangular.
