How fast have you gone on your baiku dbt?
>>28053753175 on the speedometer
110 mp/h (~175km/h)
There's the race only intake ducts I was expecting
>>28053753I try to avoid going fast enough that I won't be able to drop to 90 within a second so the cops think that I was doing 90 the whole time
>>28053738Pretty sure indian anon isn't dead
>>28053753204. Yes, you've been mogged. Yes, you were mogged coming back from Hope too
>>28053799Where's the proof?

>>28053832
>>28053753Pretty fast. I got up to 105km/h before.

>Chain loose fairly soon after tightening it>Already nearing the red zone on the swingarm>Only has 13,000 km on itFuck me, I didn't neglect it that much.
>>28053753118mphIt's a little bike so the needle was rapidly fucking the redline for that too.
>>28054025You've probably been overtightening it.See 10 minute mark here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRcVGxzdaao
>>28053753did 170 tonightnot on a bike tho
Its a VFR track day
r8 tendies after session 1
>>28054043I've been doing 35mm slack like they say, but much more than that means that when I push the chain up it literally just hits the swingarm. I think it might actually be that a lot of the links are a little bit stiff, so the tension might be a bit inconsistent.
>>28054081WEAK
>>28054075Love that gen of ZX-10R. Prettiest one since the 08 qt.
I was thinking of buying a motorbike but I experienced a scary situation>Drive my shitbox fast on a forest road>suddenly a sign says there's a corner>see it too late and not brake as hard as I should>I enter the corner at like 35 mph>fall out of my lane>if there was someone going in the opposite direction (unlikely, it was far from civilization), I would hit himNow, what if I was riding a bike? Would centrifugal force overturn me if I entered a corner like this at such speed? Would it result in permanent damage? Are bike brakes less effective than car brakes? And generally speaking, how plausible is it to fall over or otherwise kill or seriously damage yourself on a bike?
>>28054091>centrifugal forceNo, bikes lean to turn. The faster you're going, the more you're leaning over, just as a geometric fact. They don't just stay upright like cars.If you do fail to go around a corner on a bike, it happens fairly similarly to a car in that one of both of your tyres loses traction and slides out.Basically, if you enter a corner too fast on a bike all you can do is lean further into the turn and hope that you make it out. Braking mid corner is guaranteed to kill you, pretty much.>how plausible is it to fall over or otherwise kill or seriously damage yourself on a bike?Risks have both likelihood and consequences. You can reduce the likelihood of crashing by taking professional instruction and learning how to ride really well, and you can reduce the consequences by always wearing full gear.
>>28054091>>28054096>Are bike brakes less effective than car brakes?Forgot to answer this one. In theory, bikes will always brake slower than cars because they have a smaller contact patch with the road. But in practice bikes generally have softer (gripper) tyres than cars, and just by nature of how they're used most bikes are sportier than most cars. So in practice it's probably fairly similar, with probably an edge to the car.Also braking hard on a bike is a skill that you have to learn, you can't just mash the brake as hard as you can and expect it to work perfectly.
>>28054096>Braking mid corner is guaranteed to kill you, pretty much.you can brake mid corner without dying, but you will likely lowside if you grab a fistfull of brake without cornering abs.
>>28053753299 on dash>>28053918no proof no talk
>>28053753120mph, gets breezy.Not as breezy as 100mph into a 40mph headwind though, thought my helmet was going to cut off all oxygen.
>>28053781you avoid going fast enough because your bike cant go fast enough (to run from cops)
>>28054112mfw headwinds
Anons, I'm completely bored of my CBR. It makes fuck all noise at low revs and it's geared so long that I can't enjoy high revs without going dangerously fast.Ideally I want a Panigale 899 or rs660 but insurance fags quoted me the moon. What else is good? Is a VFR as boring?Strangely I had a cheap quote for a Hypermotard 950 but a Supersport 950 cost 5x more. Likewise a gsxs1000f was cheap but a gsxr600 was impossible.Given the insurance rates I'm tempted to 'build' the bike I want from a naked base like st765 or monster1200 and slap a set of fairings on for weather protection like pic rel.Really I just want something that's fun at street speeds and has that illusive 'character'
>>28054117sell me your cbr
>>28054118Yeah gwon what you got 4 swops?
>>28054123AIIIIEEE I ODNT UNDERSTAND GIMMIE YOUR BIKE I'LL PAY YOU 2500
>>28054117How about a ZX-4RR? Or even a 500SR Voom?
Miatas are motorcycles too
>>28054117tell me more about this bike pls
>>28054137Wheels, count them 1 2 3 4 5. If you stop at two then you have a bike, if you continue then you have a shed full of bikes.
>>28054158
>>28054161Now that is an abomination you have there. Insure it as such.
>>28054161>the stickers still on the helmet.well done sir, well done.
>>28054117VFR is the antithesis of boring
this bike looks pure sex, but does it sound and drive sex?

Is the nx500 a good bike?What would be good and reliable A2 bikes that don't surpass 8k€?>inb4 buy a bigger oneWould rather not put myself into another mortgage for something I can pay out of pocket.
>>28054226I should add that I won't do off-road, I like them trail bikes because of the comfy riding position and having some wind protection.
On the subject of nakeds turned sporty here's an ST765 with catfish fairings. Really sexy imo
>>28054230S L E E K
>>28054231
>>28054226Ride it and find out. NX500 is not a bad bike, and honda is a honda.But I find 450MT a much more nimble, light and comfortable bike that is just like NX500, but better in everything except fuel efficiency. Long-term reliability is yet to be seen though, so far owners report no issues after 10kkm.>>28054229> I won't do off-roadConsider a used NC750X.
What a fuck up this bike is by Ducati:>Supposed to be sports tourer>No provision for hard luggage>Abysmal fuel range>Electronic throttle but no cruise control. >Name and cc alone makes it more to insure than a panigale 899>100hp at the wheel
>>28054226>>28054229They're very reliable. My 500 platform bike did 60,000 miles without issue before I sold it. They're not off roaders, the suspension can't take it and the 19 front wheel is a fashion item. Imo the 1st gen cb500x with it's 17 inch front was a better bike. The various suspension and braking mods like the twin disc and inverted forks didn't make the bike any better. Go for it, just be prepared that it won't set your world on fire
>>28054114Where I live the mini bikes run from the cops because the no chase rules are pretty strict (for good reason, chasing a bike on a crowded highway is way more dangerous than one dipshit on two wheels)I avoid speeding any faster because I don’t want to lose my bike forever if I get identified (also it only goes up to 140 something lol)
fellow poorfolk whats a 600cc midrange sportbike I can get reasonably priced secondhand that doesn't suck? Is it possible to get on for less than $5k?

EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM A VHS INTO THE SLOT. ITS THE 1988 DUB OF AKIRA AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I START DOING THE MOVES ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER, KANEDA. I DO EVERY MOVE AND I DO EVERY MOVE HARD. MAKIN RASSE RASSE RASSERA SOUNDS WHEN I PLAY CHICKEN WITH SOME CRUISER RIDERS OR EVEN WHEN I MESS UP TECHNIQUE. NOT MANY CAN SAY THEY ESCAPED NEO TOKYOS GREATEST ESPER. I CAN. I SAY IT AND I SAY IT OUTLOUD EVERYDAY TO PEOPLE IN MY COLLEGE CLASS AND ALL THEY DO IS PROVE PEOPLE IN COLLEGE CLASS CAN STILL BE IMMATURE JERKS. AND IVE LEARNED ALL THE LINES AND IVE LEARNED HOW TO MAKE MYSELF AND MY APARTMENT LESS LONELY BY SHOUTING TETSUOOOOOOO. 2 HOURS INCLUDING WIND DOWN EVERY MORNING. THEN I RIDE MY BIKE>>28054165HELL YEAH BROTHER
Wrong thread. >>28054322 . Yeah. Maybe I’m not a real motorcyclist.
Day 726 of posting till I get added to the sticky
>>28054341plenty of men ride into their 60s, 70s and even 80s if they're physically able. if you want a bike and think you'll ride it and enjoy it, well, simple as.
>>28054219We agree
>>28054357>scraping "pegs" larger than a work boot>tripfagging while begging for even more attentionthis is incredibly sad
>>28054360I can ride but kinda have no business. Full body carpal tunnel, blind in one eye, brain damage. I’d love to on good days maybe. I’m sorta wealthy from frugality. This thing is a good financial decision. It will increase in value. I have a teenager who can get it when I die soon. A cool consolation. I have quite a few problems that money can’t fix and I’m not sure if I should buy another problem. It could fix some. I look like a bum and walk at night when I can’t sleep. I’m sure everyone in town thinks I live under a bridge. A Harley could help explain my personality. Crap. Idk. I think things are going well but the ball and chain bellyaches about the risk of my investments and a little operation I help run. But I can’t work no more so that’s how I do. Maybe it is my duty to pull the trigger on the thing. My garage is a mess too.
>>28054360Sorry that was gay. I’m just bouncing brains of you.
>>28054409>>28054413you sound stressed and down. get the bike it will absolutely add some catharsis and even spice to your life. my grandpa (82) has a friend in his late 70's that's been an arborist his whole life. He has one good eye too and is constantly riding. Millions of miles in his lifetime and still going strong doing rides from Florida to Alaska, camping along the way. Clean the garage, get the bike, and ride
>>28053738First bike. Love my CB650RA so much brosCant wait to rip out the gas blockade and actually go more than 160km/h
>>28054137Fifi is that you?!
>>28054444Oops. Also check those digits
>>28054233>>28054231hey do you know if this can beat Yamaha R6?
>>28054436Hmm. I drink sometimes too much when it hurts. The drunk me may get the idea that he’s still got it. Your words are motivational tho. Maybe riding can loosen my bones up and I can put the bottles down. I don’t know if I deserve the chance. I always think the argument about safety gear is funny because there is nothing safe about a motorcycle. We’re all playing russ1an roulette. I would worry about my kid riding but I can’t stop him so, it would be better if he was better at it and that means getting miles in the saddle. If that fucker don’t wake up soon, I’ll let someone else buy it. I need a push.
I really miss the states, such a comfy country to ride in, gigantic but a few hours of riding and you’ll get a completely different biome. Not that Europe is too different in that regard but every time you do it almost always coincides with a border hop, a change in currency (sometimes) different traffic rules etc. and of course everything feels way more compact. Riding in the states just has a different vibe to it
>>28054454not trying to preach to you buddy but put the bottle down, get help if you need it don't let pride ruin your life, get healthy the best you can with your injuries, clean up your appearance and garage for your own sake and your son's. Do it so your son has a fair shot at becoming a real man by seeing what one looks and acts like. All easier said than done of course.Also motorcycle wrecks that don't kill you are extremely painful without some kind of gear, ask me how I know.
>>28054091Motorcycles are dangerous. If you wreck on a bike, it's going to be a lot worse than if you wreck on a car.
>>28054409Brother, my dad is nearly 70 and lost the majority of sight in one eye from a brain surgery. I convinced him to get a bike when I got mine. It had been 15 yrs since he last rode. We did part of a BDR and he’s put 3500 miles on since June. He’s been happier the past few months than I’ve seen him in years.
>>28054226Sounds like a great match for your kind of riding. I like them a lot, saw one in person and the white looks really sharp.
>>28053753156 on dash with all three of my hard bags on. If I remove my limiter in my ECU ('11 GTR1400) I can go 186. Bike can speed with or without luggage but almost never take off my center bag for utility purposes.
>>28054236>CFmotoLolLmao evenGet the Honda. It will run forever.
>>28054499>brain tumour eyes.Shit, me too. I’m nervous. I got a sixteen year old and Earl’s El Camino. My handicapped ass would need to Evel Knievel in the back of the truck or I’d have to follow that spastic zoomer home and hope nothing kills me.
>>28054514KekMaybe try a cheap dirt bike or dual sport instead of a Harley. Dad prefers dirt road riding because it’s slower pace and virtually no traffic. This anon >>28054486 offers good advice. One of my buddies got clean because of riding. Anytime he wanted a drink or blunt he’d hop on the bike and ride til the urge went away.
>>28054540I have bikes sitting around if I just wanted a bike.>>28054486The help I need was lost in the war on opiates.Yeah, he sees how I coped, wrenching my way out of poverty and never saying no to overtime, taping up my knees and wrists and never using a cane when someone is looking, changing to investment strategies and running other people’s businesses when my health stopped me from busting my ass, stacking money paying bills on time, keeping my neighbourhood maintained in my free time. Appearance is what it is. Men have beards. Work makes people dirty. Society is theatre. I got most of my money at first from indirectly killing innocent sand niggers. I’m doing my part to raise my kid. The rest on you.
>>28054091Pending how you enter the turn on the bike there's a couple of scenarios 1. Too fast no lean - you recover but forget to slow and adjust and off the side you go (unlikely as your car speed indicates you know back roads enough to not enter Bushido clan speed)2. You enter tok fast lean and panic brake incorrectly - classic had to lay err down3. You while entering too fast apply your back brake slowing you and also standing the bike up and then properly react with gas from the throttle to redirect in turn (all is ok, tho you might have skidded a bit and be a bit scared).Bikes speed up and slow down faster than cars in general. Proper turns are about understanding physics as you must balance a bike. That instability also allows you do do much sharper angles in turns leading to better handling of the turns
>In the early 1980's, Suzuki was a trendsetter in bike technology in the 400cc class—where the racing competition was the fiercest due to rivals such as the Kawasaki Z400FX and the Yamaha XJ400. But the engines of these bikes had "only" 2 valves per cylinder. Suzuki released the first-ever 400cc street bike with 4 valves per cylinder—the GSX 400F—in April 1981, a full 6 months ahead of the 4-valve Honda CBX400F. The next step in the bike's evolution was 1983's GSX 400FW, with a liquid-cooled engine mounted in a square-tube frame. This came out 1 month ahead of Yamaha's XJ400Z, the second bike in the inline-4-cylinder 400cc class to get a liquid-cooled engine.In the 1984 came the GSX-R, built with Suzuki's Multi-Rib Aluminium Box frame. This was only the second production bike to get an aluminium frame, after the RG250 Gamma. A year later, the GSX-R 750 would be the first in the series with a number in the name indicating displacement. The FW series engine on which the GSX's power unit was based received major modifications, such as small, 10mm plugs that made room for much larger intake and exhaust valves. These mods boost output to 59 hp (tied with the Yamaha FZ400R for first place in power). At only 335 lbs. dry, the GSX was far lighter than the competition, for an almost frightening power-to-weight ratio. In fact, the GSX triggered a veritable arms race among Japanese motorcycle manufacturers.
>>28054651>Despite its reputation for ferocious power, the GSX has nice, flat torque properties and surprisingly faithful handling. These and other properties of the GSX had a substantial effect on subsequent 400cc models.For the '86 model year, the GSX-R swapped out its double-cradle frame for a twin-spar one, and the engine was re-engineered into an air/oil-cooled unit (in which the cylinder heads are water cooled!). These and other improvements evolved the GSX-R into an even more competitive machine with a lighter, stiffer frame.
HONDA!
>>28054651Nice but I prefer fewer strokes.
Never buying a 636. Get it together, Kawasaki.
>>28054697Probably taped the throttle open and went home to fill in his insurance claim.Or rather went back to his parents basement to wait for daddy to buy him a nicer one.
>>28054357You have been a nobike for over 2 years
>>28054703Insurance doesn't cover blown up engines, and it's a nearly new bike. Everytime I see a blown up sport bike on social media, it's a 2009-2023 636. I'm seeing even more 2024+ that are blowing up. They changed something in the engine for 2024, don't know what it was.
>>28054725Tbh surprised they've updated the engine at all in 15 years. They only blow up all the time because 636's all seem to be ridden by stunt cunts.
>>28054451>ifAnything can best an r6, even a 50cc ruckus
>>28054296yep they do, and they remove the abs system
>>28054697>rider kept it pinned in fifth for a bit too longWhat the fuck does that mean? How is it the rider's fault that they sold him an actual crotch rocket?
>>28054741Nothing these days has only five gears. What kind of stupid... no wait I've seen an American in a rental that found a gear and went with that one... can't operate a manual gearbox.
>>28053753128mph*1.6k/m=204.8kphhell yeah.What's the current camera to get for under $250?
>>28054238>sports tourerNo, its a cope bike. The Mercedes C-klasse for the guys who somehow can't even get the shitty V2 Panigale.
>>28053738>changing the oil>didn't notice the old filter gasket got stuck >put new oil and filter >start the bike>it pukes a lot of oil on the ground >filter is jammed because of the double gasket >have to poke it with a screwdriver to get it out >lose the new oil, the filter and my confidence Bought everything again for round 2 but damn does it suck. Beginners mistake but now I'll always pay attention on that fucking gasket.
>>28054357Nobody here likes you, wannabe hotwing. :)
>>28054752Not him, but I did my whole a2 license without using the sixth gear on the 390 duke they had, and inside the city I always drove in first gear.
>>28054215>>28054218>>28054221>>28054224Very cool. Thanks, anon.
>>28054697This is the exact reason why warranties exist.
>>28054849>abuse or misuse
>>28054294Agreed, but the Monkey is 1400 leafbucks more expensive than the Grom. And at that point it's hard to even justify dropping that much cash on a meme bike. Even though they are really damn cool.
>>28054853It's a race bike, it's supposed to handle high RPM.
>>28054856>it's a race bikeWarranty disclaimer probably says otherwise. Not that anyone would ever read it.
>>28054697NON INTERFERENCE CHADS JUST CANT STOP WINNING
>>28054409brain damage is kinda mandatory to ride a motorcycle
>>28054840Not using 6th I can understand, but only using 1st in the city... Were you taught like that?
>>28054117Get naked bike.
>>28054876I was the exact opposite, I thought you were supposed to lug it in 4th at low speeds. We'd been putting around a car park for half a day in second, and then for the road section the instructor said "I want to see you all get up to 40km/hr and 4th gear here". So I thought "Okay, that's the gear I should be in for that speed."Then afterwards, he was yelling at me for being too slow because I was 10km/hr under the speed limit, but meanwhile I was shifting down to 3rd to get over speed bumps without stalling the CB125.
>>28054117>Really I just want something that's fun at street speeds and has that illusive 'character'
What tires should I get for this viffy
>>28054906They cost too much and the aftermarket/dealer network is horrendous.

>>28054919Ok
Has anyone seen an acid gold RS660 irl ? cuz I really like the color from what I've seen on pictures, but I wonder if it looks as good under a more "natural" light, and I'm mostly afraid of how flashy the red on the wheels actually is.
>>28054876If your bike can hit 70mph in first then first is perfectly good in 30 mph zones.VFR just because that was peak bike.
There's a red/silver ex500r for $1200 in my area. A project bike that needs work, looks like a lot of non-critical work.
>>28054444checked and nice
It is October and yet it is still riding weather.Did you ride today?
>>28054656Little brother how goes it?
>>28054941>acid goldinteresting I would've guessed Iridescent Piss or New Banana

>>28055039Wait, he financed the bike for 75k total? Do burgers really? JFC>>28054947Not talking about good bikes here anon, but the ones you take lessons on. Sure they can hit 50 or 60 kph in 1st gear, but they sound like they are getting tortured.
Now that I don’t have ABS I can’t stop myself from doing skids whenever I come to a stop, it’s too fun
>>28055039That definitely never happened
no other bike I've ever had does exhaust pressure pulse dust puffs like my DRZ

>>28055284wtf did you do
>>28054955Yes, first time riding with gf. I had to promise her to not go faster than 70 km/h. Thankfully there wasn't much traffic on the road that I would have held up. I wish my gf wasn't such a pussy.
>>28055271kek sorry buddy, your dad seemed nice!

>>28054075I really wish people weren't hogging the supply of 08-16 R6s that could be actually racing to try and fail to win track days because they heard it's teh fastersest (only barely when ridden by somebody actually good enough to utilize the narrow power band properly)
>>28055327Yeah.

>>28055330there are people ITT rn that ride this to be quiet desu
>>28055340Don't know what that particular one is, but I recommend Abba Sky Lift. It lifts, swivels, and even rolls.
Went to go start my bike the other day, got power to the headlight, etc and some turn overs but no start. Eventually just started clicking. Took battery to AutoZone, battery holds charge but bottoms out under load. Get a new battery, toss it in, still getting lights, etc but no start. Sometimes when holding the starter, the lights on the cluster will flicker in and out, seems like the bike itself is flickering in and out sometimes. On one singular attempt (I haven’t been able to recreate) I lost tension in the clutch momentarily. I’m pretty certain it’s an electrical issue, obviously, but I have no idea where to begin for a diagnosis. Any ideas?
>>28055427stop posting retard
>>28055451>Get a new battery, toss it in, still getting lights, etc but no start.try charging the new battery up, if that doesnt work id say get a yamaha you dont have to worry about this stuff you can just ried

Can't stop hugging my bike when I get home everyday, I love it so much, thank you motorcycle
>>28055494>Battery came chargedjust because its new doesnt mean it has been charged fully though, could have been sitting for months before you got it nonner
>>28055496Post a pic of your tummy
>>28055503Do I really have to go all the way back to AutoZone to get them to charge a battery I just bought from AutoZone What are the chances it’s the regulator
>>28055506you first anon
>>28055508>the regulatorthe regulator of what?
>>28055509oo..ok but you second....
>>28055524you have my word
>>28055518Rectifier, whatever. For the battery.
>>28055495how do they make stomachs so flat
>>28055340i have a bursig and its pretty awesome but depending on the bike i wouldn't use it for anything more than a middle weight or tracked out liter thats been stripped down.
>>28055524Coward
Spend less for a carb version or spend more for a fuel injected version of the bike.Debating between a 4th or 5th gen vfr. People say 4ths are more raw and 5ths more comfy.

I'm going to Thailand. I was thinking of buying some motorcycle parts for my 23 cb500x. Specifically a rear shock. People have said that something like the YSS made a big difference in handling and allowed the bike to feel more planted when cornering on bumpy roads. It's expensive though here and I wonder if I'd save some money if i buy it some place in Thailand.

Anyone else's life is just shit apart from riding a motorcycle?
>>28055733kinda sorta but all the time that im not on my bike i wanna be on my bike
>>28055733But I'm breathing so I guess I'm still aliveEven if signs seem to tell me otherwise
>>28053738I have a KLR650 that's burning quite a bit of oil. Something like 750ml every 1000 miles or so.I'm an mediocre mechanic at best so my analysis might be wrong but I'm thinking the piston rings are shot. Assuming that's correct then I think this is probably a good time to install a big bore kit. Is installing a big bore kit as simple as taking the top end apart, sending the cylinder off to be machined, then just reassembling everything? Do I need to do anything with the valves or anything else?
>>28055767>Do I need to do anything with the valves or anything else?maybe lap them but yeah probably just needs a re-ring
>>28055735>>>28055733>nah I got a really nice gf I see fairly regularly and a job I like that pays me just enough to get by>and my streamies are hardcore intense https://streamable.com/talabnyou have a gf?
>>28055733yeah the bike is my silver lining these days. seems like nothing stays constant so I figure the roller coaster is headed up here soon, just trying to remain grateful in the meantime
>>28055795>you have a gf?having a motorcycle and having a gf are the main reasons I stick around tbqh
>>28055451Find a real forum to ask about your specific bike. Buy a multimeter and learn how to use it. You are going to be checking voltages on battery, between starter, regulator, and stator. You are going to check if every ground is solid. You are going to suffer. Also check your fuses.
>>28055779PO was running the bike with a completely disintegrated air filter and no cover. I'm thinking shits completely fucked and the cylinder probably need to be machined.I found a kit, just need to find a machine shop in my areahttps://eaglemike.com/shop/ols/products/692-forged-piston-kitbtw, just pulled this spark plug, how bad does this look? I looked down into the cylinder and its just a fucking mess of carbon.also, if I plan on rebuilding it, is there any harm to keep driving on it?
>>28055825Hey R3 anon, I got some quickshifter footy for you finally. Skip about 2 minutes in.https://youtu.be/KLWKGxoGltQ?si=VyuHqhHu0fPxWBLD
>>28055883Comfy cozy quickshifter, sounds fun (: Hope you had a good time ripping it up and thank you for the video, the sound is excellent!!!!600s are my favorite C:
>>28054658Nice bike but I prefer more displacement.
>>28054233
>>28055902You going to get a qs for your fz6? Annitori makes a good one and they're pretty affordable. Like $280. Still not cheap but they aren't crazy expensive.I'm jelly of your twisty California roads, we don't have a lot of Twisties here. There is one really nice road that's almost like a miniature track, they repaved it recently and it's amazing. It's an hour away from me though and it's at least a half day ordeal getting there, riding, and coming home. https://youtu.be/dVlkDm0SVtY?si=QvduOskbvfpcMzFU
>>28055904God damn that generation of gixxer makes me so fucking hard it's unreal.
>search for exhaust cans on ebay>filter for used and North America only>still only get chinc knockoffs that are intentionally listed wrong because chinsects can't fathom that pissing me off won't help their sales
>>28056006Chinesium replica cans are actually pretty alright honestly. Especially for the money. I've been running one on my zx6r for about a year now, no issues. If it's supposed to be a carbon fiber can, it comes as metal with a fake carbon sticker, kek. It's held up so far though.
Can't take them in for the night? Remember to tuck them in at least. Good night /dbt/.
>>28056026It's not even being Chinese that bothers me it's the literal bootleg part. I mean my track bike came with a Chinese made GP can on it and it's fine except for the fact it fits too tight so it is an entire project just to get the motherfucker off.
why am i such a fucking pussy when it comes to comitting to buying a bike brosevery time a deal comes along i pussy out and say to myself the bike probably had issues or ill find a better deal later
>>28056026>>28056033Oh also most of them are either mini-GP cans and/or have welded on hangers so they're fucking useless, because the whole point is to put a full size can on this bike to pass sound limits.
>>28053753The speedo is more accurate than I expected
>>28053738
>>28054215Sexy devil
>>28056033>>28056046Oh I see, yeah that's annoying. Where do you live that you need to pass noise standards?>>28056043Are you afraid of committing to the bike life?
it has been a while, but next week I will return to bike
>>28056087>Are you afraid of committing to the bike life?it's more like, i'm afraid of changing my life drastically by doing itplus there's always that fear of whatever im buying to be mechanically fucked up down the line and only for me to find out in the worst way like a chain snapping or a fuel leak engulfing me in flames
While I got the angle right, the quality wasn't set to the highest setting.
>>28056087The tracks where I actually live...well one of them has a sound limit but it is basically only possible to fail with a straight pipe or a super loud supermoto or Ducati, so it's being able to travel.
UNBANNED BABYYYYYYY
>>28053753165 KPH, but that's where my 250 tops out unless I start jettisoning luggage at other drivers on the motorway. Despite being at the limit it has never felt too much for the engine to tolerate.
>>28054219My ZZR still has grandpa's style. Shame I couldn't find a 650cc version anywhere. Objectively correct in that the GPZ is peak kino.
>>28054117Do a sprocket swap. Gear it intentionally short and remember not to wheeling off every red light.
>>28056178Hell Yeah Leafbrother
>>28055997>You going to get a qs for your fz6?Would be like getting sprinting shoes for jogging I reckon. It’s a fun sound but I hardly ever run through the gears and I’ve still gotta master truly smooth shifting so I don’t mind doing it the old fashioned way.> Like $280. Still not cheap but they aren't crazy expensiveThat is way crazy expensive ;~;> I'm jelly of your twisty California roads, we don't have a lot of Twisties hereIve only come to appreciate it after getting a bike but I really love the average curve of the roads out. While any twisty highway is usually 30 minutes out there’s plenty of roads around town that feel like twisties if you just rush em lol. Unfortunately actually going out to a twisty highway usually requires having the day totally free which I never really do since I working closing shifts every other day.> There is one really nice road that's almost like a miniature track, they repaved it recently and it's amazingfeelsamazingman Looks fun but also maybe it’s just camera perspective but it looks like you could full throttle like most of these cornersEither way looks like a nice cozy place to try and do your rounds learning the road and gradually increasing the speedHope to see more of this spot from you, technical riding is good riding!
>>28055536Low sneed oil diet so the body doesn't store all that garbage fats that it can't process properly.
>>28056194qwhat the fuck they made a ZZR 250?!?!isnt that just a Ninja 250?!
>>28056300Yes, the GPX250 is the Ninja 250 of that era, and the ZZR250 is a GPX everything except with better transmission, suspension and different bodywork. I had the 05' GPX250 and it got nicked, and since I knew how to work on it with my eyes closed, opted for something basically the same. Just couldn't find a 650 version anywhere so I settled. It's a nice, planted ride with the better suspension being a godsend. The GPX has a more classic look to it though.
>>28054117>or rs660R7

>>28056331How is that character and why would I listen to any dumb nigger chopping up the fairings and putting a handlebar on an R7 when the MT07 existed for eons beforehand.
>>28056342R7 is much better than the MT-07He said that this is the MT-07 he always wanted
Hi brothers, last week I got my big-boy loicense and I'm looking into getting my first real baiku (I have MT-125 now). I'm looking at V-Strom 650 with ABS from 2007 (I could get it for like $300 after I trade in my MT-125). Good choice? I want to travel across Europe next season, so I want something with fairings, comfy for longer trips but also to be able to commute to work/gym (like 15km).
>>28056349It's the same fucking bike except the forks, clutch, second gear, and a cheap piece of metal bolted to the side of the frame.
>>28056357>except the forks, clutch, second gear, and a cheap piece of metal bolted to the side of the frame.So... in other words it's a different bike.
>>28056207Kraut anon!Is it getting cold there as well?
>>28056362>piccomfy as fuck>Is it getting cold there as well?last 2 weeks were great, wörst part is its corn harvesting season and my favorit roads are dirty and muddy as fuck. it was like 15°C/60°F and it looks like we are getting another 2 weeks of it, so im quite lucky so far. how are you? any signs of winter so far in the big white north?
>>28056352Big power jump but I think you can handle it. Vstrom is a good choice but I can't remember which years had some problem with them, not a major problem but definitely something you don't want while touring.Also does the one you're looking at have spoke or cast wheels?
>>28056178from the thumbnail I thought that the airplane was just text that said "nigger."
>>28056398Cast wheels unfortunately, but for the first few years I'll stick mostly to paved roads, ocasionally some light dirt roads near me to get comfortable first. I got my license on Gladius, it's the same engine iirc, but yeah, I'll take it easy.
>>28056310i think Kawasaki fucked up by not making the ZZR250 morelooks much nicer
I noticed I got a near-flat tire (pressure very low) while riding. Then I took it to the gas station and pumped it up, it's all good now. I presume the janky sealant (pic related) I put in while installing the tires 2000km ago did its job. It's been 24 hours and there has been no pressure loss. I can't see any holes or tears anywhere. Is there anything else I need to do to the tire or am I all good now?
>>28056430>Is there anything else I need to do to the tire or am I all good now?replace it
>>28056430Check tendies.
>>28056405lmao. It's the 4chan brain actin up
Should I, or should I not apply skub compound to my bike?
>>28056443I always throw on a few layers of skub before going out for a ride. I'll skip it if I have a passenger but rarely
>>28056453Pure, unadulterated faggotry
>>28056454>hates skubboo hoo
>>28056433But, sar! I live on the wages of a brown person. It only has 2000km on it! >>28056435It's 130/70 rear tire, very narrow. I need every single mm of that 130, so there are no tendies to speak of.
>>28056362Cold has cursed my thubms agajn
>>28056499better stay home and not show up to wherever you said you were going to show up to.
>>28055616Fuck carbs I had enough of them there is no meaningful difference in the way it feels to ride compare to EFI.People talking shit about feeling more raw or connected are delusional only thing raw and connecting about carbs is you have to constantly take your bike apart for it to work.
