>>28062851good bake

>>28062932your country makes good looking women. bikes, not so much
>>28062851>tfw no fireblade
>>28062934While there's the occasional hit, I do agree. That's why I personally prefer Soviet and Russian bikes as they retained that old school vibe to this day.
>>28062939mfw no japoneze life. how da fuck do they have a birthrate problem in this country.
>>28062940They retained the old-school vibe because the Russians don't invent anything new besides misinformation and lies.
>>2806294473% of girls in this country ride motorcycles by the time their in their 20s
>>28062945Why fix something that is perfect?
>>28062947by the time they are in theirthey're in thieirthouthereone of thoseI made that statistic up btw
I finally got my bike back from the shop and am so happy, bros. Can’t believe how much my emotional state is tied to my bike.
What's some shit to check for on a older Honda VFR? Pre-VTEC. Imma go look at one soon.
>>28062949>I made that statistic up btwbut i want to believe
>>28062960it could be higher than that

>>28063007That’s a good year bc it’ll have fuel injection but still have the gear-driven cams. Just make sure the rectifier is good and that it charges the battery, and check for any of your usual old bike problems like rotted bushings, seals, dried grease, etc.
>>28063007Preemptive rectifier replacement and make sure you keep the brake/clutch fluid clean

>>28063025>automaticI'm out.
>>28063027They only work if you’re moving forward and stopping with momentum, and it still won’t be as instantaneous as braking with your hand + foot normally. >What are some tells of abuse/failure?When it doesn’t work. Also just check the lines and joints for leaks.

>>28062851Last summer I finished restoring my 40-year-old Honda VF 750C Magna to 100% factory state, it has about 20k miles in it. My friends ride enduro and croch rockets, and I don’t want to ride the life out of this beauty so I want to get something I can beat up a bit. This bike needs an owner who takes it to exhibitions etc. I'm really tempted to sell it because I barely rode it this summer, it's just sitting in the garage so I'm sad af. Any advice brahs? Did you ever get over selling your very first bike?
>>28063168you will eventually want to ride it again because the magnas are actually pretty fast but if it's not your forever bike you'll live. i miss my 82 cb750sc sometimes but it will never beat the harley as a keeper
>>28063225I want that. wish they made one in a slightly more durable material other than dollar store blanket
You guys don’t put both feet down at a stop….right?
>>28063088you would crawl through a cactus infested desert just to hear an R1 rev through a walkie talkie
>>28063244on my current bike I feel silly trying to put two tippy toes down so I just one foot. works better on hills because I can use rear brake and take off faster/smoother as a result. really low bikes I don't one foot despite that benefit
why are superbike engines so much higher in power per capacity with natural aspiration than cars?why haven't we seen a 2L V8 with like 450bhp?
>>28063298because boomers need a 5.0L lifted v8 with high beam only retina blasters to pick up a box of nails and dad jeans at walmart
>>28062851I fuggen love the current fireblade
>>28063244I keep my tired underinflated to provide better balance.
>>28063298Consumers largely don’t care about power. The people who prioritize performance are a tiny sliver of the car market and they largely don’t buy new. Consumers care about fuel economy and reliability. So that’s what manufacturers cater to. They’re in the business of making money, not chasing performance or bigger numbers.
>>28063331I keep my rear tire underinflated so that I can rip er open in any gear and know she'll stick. Top boomer logic protip.
>>28063298I want a car with a X4. You get an X-4 by combining two boxer engines rotated 90 degrees. You can combine two of these at 45 degrees to create a X+8 engine.
>>28063352there's loads of niche performance orientated brands (Ariel) and all the big companies have performance divisions (M sport, AMG)
>>28063358sounds like a nightmare to cool properly.
>>28063358I'd call that a radial engine.
>>28063298Cars are for homos
>>28063168I want to sell my first bike now because is a bit underpowered for where I live. I wanted a magna(I got rebel 300 cause it was there and 3k) though but you probably don't live near me.
>>28063244I do when I initially stop just to get situated.
>>28063359>nicheYou literally answered your own question right there. >performance divisionsYes, and how many cars do you think those performance divisions sell compared to the larger brand? Think for a second anon.
>>28063374I know I know, I'm just curious.
>>28063379enough for them to produce entirely separate model lines and engines? The marketing side of the question is what I'm least concerned about here.
take the Porsche Carrera, probably the best na engine builders for sports cars and they can only manage 388bhp from 3.0l a pathetic 129.3 bhp per litre, while a Fireblade is doing 214.Why?
>>28063244I do if threre's a Harley nearby. The difference in saddle heights makes them look like squatty manlets, and I am petty enough to die on that hill.
am I cringe if I listen to 505 while riding my baiku?
>>28063244I currently don't put any feet down if it's a stop sign.
>>28063414is 505 a band or something? the numbers make it seem like you're listening to computer bleep bloops or whatever sound the sin makes.
>>28063426https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qU9mHegkTc4
>>28063392Do car engines need more robust valve train, rotating assemblies, and blocks to accommodate the load and the heft it has to move?
>>28063429that 505 video is 404
>>28063244>putting your feet on the filthy road>not having a not a pair of wheels pop out automatically at low speeds.
>>28063382I’m becoming convinced you either can’t read or aren’t very bright. The people who care about performance over economy or reliability make up a very small portion of the car buying market. It’s as simple as that. If manufacturers saw there was an opportunity to make powerful cars that sold, I’m sure they’d do it. You can do it yourself, you can be the change you want to see. Go vote with your wallet and buy a GT3 so you can show manufacturers that there’s still a market for high performance cars and engines.
>>28063445they sell 50,000 911s per year, your point is invalid.
>>28063445>If manufacturers saw there was an opportunity to make powerful cars that sold, I’m sure they’d do it.they why does the Tesla Plaid exist?
Messaged a guy about a EX500r project bike. You guys think he'll even reply?
>>28063449My point is very valid. You’re just too stupid to see it.
>>28063461$3+ billion was spent on new 911s alone last year
>>28063466Irrelevant. You’re just confirming that you’re too stupid to see the answer to your question. No more (You)s for you.
>>28063473>there's no market for performance vehiclesthis one model of performance vehicle turns over $3billion every year>irrelevantyou're just an ingnorant fuck
Every now and then youtube suggests me videos titled "2025 <BRANDNAME> <MODEL> Finally Unveiled!" with obviously fake imagery.These videos generally have pathetic two/three-digit number of views. Channels publishing these videos have lots of them.Why do these channels exist? Why would anyone put effort into zero-profit fakery?
This sporty is only $4500, should I buy it
>>28063529Allowing browns access to the internet and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.
>>28063529It's even worse. There are channels that upload a video every 15 minutes. All automatically generated videos with the answer to some random question.
>>28063530Hell Yeah (Brother)
>>28063530Do it you fat fucking gay faggot (also nigger) + tranny
>>28063530DO NOT BUY THAT BIKE
>get to office from working in nebo and marion checking meters>My bikes plate is missingMOTHER FUCK. NOT THIS SHIT AGAIN.
>>28063694I just don't ride with plates anymore
>>28062851Today was a good day for Dual Sports.
I finally found some utility in insurance companies: they let me estimate the quality of a city without going there.I'm looking for an apartment/house to buy, and visiting various places I found out that the vibes of a city strongly correlate with two factors: population pyramid and insurance premiums.Boomer towns are often clean to the point of being sterile, lifeless. In towns with a high % of 20-25yo people the atmosphere is much more pleasant.Places with high insurance premiums are often too diverse for my liking and are full of visibly rotting scooters (no nice scooters left, they are already stolen). Places with low insurance premiums feel and look safe.It's fascinating how a change in postal code can increase insurance costs tenfold.
>>28063711>Places with high insurance premiums are often too diverse for my likingYou can say what you mean here. You don't have to sugar coat it.
>>28063713I was once banned for using the word "jap".Jannies can be that sensitive.
hopefully the vin checker anon is still hereI just got home so hoppefully he still able to check this oneJH2PC3510XM000499hoping to get some info like accidents, liens, or something suspicious
>>28063724cool japanese bike
>>28063729not so cool when you notice the vin sticker missing and its in some cartel torture room
>>28063529Those are all run by Indians/Chinese and are basically 90% automated at this point. Which is really a fucking shame because my heart skipped a beat at the thought of the VFR800 coming back.
>>28063298Hp = torque * RPM/5252. Easier to make a smaller engine spin faster without hitting valve float or various rotational/other forces ripping it apart. Pretty much the best way to make power is to make it spin as fast as possible and optimize airflow for those high RPMs. Bikes being so light that they don't need a ton of torque (and yes I know torque is just a momentary force, but you know what I mean with regards to stalling/instantaneous acceleration) also helps.
>>28063732dude just fucking save up some money why do you keep trying to buy stolen bikes
>>28063773it's not stolen, the seller literally tried to register it but couldnthe has the title too so im not sure wht the hell is the reaosn hes unable to get plates
>>28063810Holy shit dude a decent condition bike without problems is like $1000 more and you don’t have to worry you’re buying a lemon please stop with this shit
>>28063844You cant help retards who know theyre right
>>28063732Say it with meNEVERBUYINGUSED
>>28063810Is it in his real name? That was a reason that some guy tried to flip a bike onto me. He signed a title with someone who didn't give his real legal name when signing and then fucked off. So his title was worthless.
I suddenly don't feel so bad for buying that new XT250 for 5.4K. I could be fighting with cartel members to verify their IDs on the title in their back-alley chop-shop.
>>28063877Just verify their identity using their teeth.
Last fall I picked up a free motorcycle off craigslist. 1985 nighthawk 700. Havent had time, never did, but hey free bike. After cleaning the carbs, new battery, vinegar in tank for a week, unfreezing the starter, finding missing o rings in the petcock, and like a lotta other shit.She fired up today anons.Last registered in 2016. Fuckin love it. Pic related was a rough day. Just about gave up and listed it for sale. Felt like I had forever to go, and im like building a house and shit. No time for bike surgery
>>28063884hell yeah
>>28063884based I want to have some barn-found KLR I spend a summer rebuilding from scratch. I saw a couple on >facebook but it's impossible to contact the boomers who have them.
I put all the dirt rags I use to clean my bike in the wash and they still look stained and kinda smell like they would give me cancer. Do you toss the rags and buy new ones or clean and reuse them?
>>28063877Don't let the shitposters make you feel bad for buying new. In many cases (especially for wrenchlets) buying new can save you a lot of headaches. Hope you enjoy the bike anon :)
>>28063917You should not be washing chemically exposed shit in yiur domestic laundry machines, take it to a dry cleaner if theyre coveralls or throw them awayTheyre called rags for a reason, one and done
>>28063923Thanks anon :) I don't want to be a wrenchlet but I don't want a $3000 bike that I drop $2400 parts into before I can even get on it.
>>28063917I personally wash them outside on a fence and if it doesn't get the grease off, I throw them away.You can get a pack of shop towels at an auto or hardware store, 50 for like 12 bux. If the idea of wasting cloth like that bothers you, get a roll of those blue paper towels, that's what I do for oil changes.

Not time doing the actual work, but the time where the bike is down. It takes my retarded ass a ridiculous amount of time to do what I'm supposed to do. This is a me problem.

I just moved to Florida and sold my car, thinking of buying a motorcycle am I retarded?I used to play sports at a high level, but had to stop cuz of cancer and it was difficult to get back into anything apart from men’s league stuff here and there.I miss doing something physical and having the related community aspect.

Do you maintain your motorcycle yourselves?
>>28064286Yes, except the chain. I just buy a new one instead.
>>28064289What tool do you use for the chain?
>>28064294chain removal/installation tool: D.I.D. KM500Rcleaning: old toothbrush + kerosene in a squirt bottle + old rags + cardboard underneath to collect the falling grimelube: anything. gear oil, maxima wax spray, motul chain lubetightening: open ended wrench
can any anon do a check on this Ninja 500?JKAEXVD18SA009604im not that other anon, this ones actually registered and insuredit's from 1995 though so wanted to see if it had any maintenance done in the last few years at least

Friend of my boss in a tight place has a VTR thou he's looking to get rid of, along with a couple other boats and cars.Reckons it's got full fairing and Repsol decals fresh and ready for application when it's reassembled (project).God I'm hoping that when I turn up, it's got USD's for the 4k he's asking.$4.44 for every second I have to wait in posting this.
so are the "650" bikes considered beginner bikes?SV650Ninja 650RYamaha FZ6Rthose all seem to look like big numbers on paper, but theyre like really tame for what they are
>>28064382In the general scheme of things, for bikes, they're not lazy but they aren't tuned for peak output. A more relaxed riding position, forgiving powerband and pretty good aftermarket for any random shit you might want.A little big for what I would call beginner and certainly not ideal for someone who has never ridden, but plenty room in the proverbial boots to grow into.On par with a car that has 300-450hp though in terms of acceleration.

>>28064511just get the bike anon!
>>28064517I think it's a little more involved, it's like the couch thing.
If i want to reduce my rear sproket to lower the rpms am I saving wear or am I just adding it back as more strain?
>>28064530Why does she bend down before the jump cut?Was she ripping a fart? Adjusting her panties?

>>28064511You can just plug the numbers into wolfram alpha and it'll do the work for you. No guarantees I did this right, though. Been a while.
>>28063917That's a plastic rag bro, u are washing plastic and also shedding microplastics when u do onto the water supply.
>>28064555Fucked up, use this one.
What's up with anglophones unable to pronounce "du" as it is written?Jewcati, jewel sport — what's so hard about the /d/ and /u/ sounds?
>>28064566That's what sound it makes in our language. Why do Spanish speakers use j as h when h already exists? Same reason. People from different places do things differently.
>>28064549Looks beautiful but also severely fucked up.
>>28064571NTA but ¿u mean the jajajaja?
>>28064278not retarded it's a great place and interest for everything you mentioned. go for it bro
>>28064574Among other things. The world is a big place.
>>28064399I still feel like nakeds look better with circular headlights, half fairing ones or square shit like groms used to use.tired of bugshit that provides me neither aesthetic or windshield benefits.
>>28064549>parts onlylmaoI picked up an LT for 900 in much better condition, albeit she has 95k+ miles.
>>28064511>>28064540Just make a cardboard cutout of the side profile of the motorcycle and see if you can slide it into your garage.
>>28064566You pronounce dew. /d/ and /u/ can never work because futa on futa isn't /u/ there is too much penis. Futa, femboy, trap, twunk turning gay women bi/straight is hot though.>>28064540Even with math, a good application/practical engineer checks both.Cutout will give you an idea where the numbers should be real math will account for the suspension travel so you know the actual minimum clearance.
>>28064537>am I saving wear or am I just adding it back as more strain?Unless you are changeing like +/- 5 teeth or more, no. You are looking at it the wrong way. It changes delivery but any stress or strain on the engine is from user driving characteristics.
>>28064086My only advice is to get a friend when you go and do the pickup if it's THAT sketchy.

>>28064809That seat looks retarded
>>28064156Usedbros, we got too cocky. I'm buying new from now on.
Yo onii-sans, I currently have an XR650L and a Kawi Z125 that I use as an errand / stuntbike.I like the Z125, but it tops out @ ~50 with the uphills around here (PA). If budget ain't a huge thing, would you spend $2k on a 143cc+exhaust+intake+head+ECU kit to go from 8.3 -> ~14hp?I'd get a bigger stuntbike but all of the big ones are twice as heavy.
>>28064156>OMG A LEAK!
how suspicious should I be when buying an used bike without the original fairings?
Anon, who needs the VIN run, can you post it again? Sorry, I got busy yesterday and forgot about it.
>>28064906It was dropped or crashed no exceptions. Look at the bar ends and levers as well, as these are commonly fucked up in low speed crashes (and high speed duh) that might not destroy a fairing.>BEST CASE SCENARIOThe guy took the plastics off while doing work on the bike and accidentally steped on/ran over/otherwise destroyed the fairings while they were off the bike (which I have done)>But anon that's an exceptionYes, but the owner is still a retard for doing this so any further enquiries with the bike you take with caution anyway.
>>28062944Because they're sluts who fuck the top 20%, and then when their eggs are rotten and want to settle down they're worse than being in the military.It's just a matter of being progressive and woke for whoring arou6but then they become the most traditional wife that ever existed, which with body counts on the hundreds means they'll just divorce the poor loser in a year tops.
>>28064924im not the sketchy anon but if you could check this one outJKAEXVD18SA009604just wanna see what the service history and stuff is on it is since it's a 1995
>>28064933what if theyre honest about from the start. Like "yeah bro i dropped it while it was standing still so i just replaced the fairings"
>>28064943>used vehicle>honest sellerHmmm... possible, but more often than not unlikely. Look I don't want to just assume everyone selling used shit is a shitheel, but you know the saying buyer beware? If the seller is upfront about the damage, then cool but keep your eyes open and inspect the areas around where the damage to the fairing is / would have been with a strong flashlight. From my sales / purchases / own damage to bikes: Damaged fairings can mean fuck all mechanical damage, or it can mean your triple tree is bent, or your forks aren't holding oil, or any number of things really.

Holy fuck. Harley I hate Harley. I'm the same dude with the ABS problem. The whole fucking bike exploded electrically. Every ECU spit some problem from VINERR to can bus. I have no fucking idea why. This damn thing is a bike from hell. What is Harley's problem??? This is only a 2021.

>>28065300>>28065332Sounds fucking annoying, electrical/ECU problems on a bike that's supposed to be "simple" are a kick in the nuts. I haven't seen your other posts, did you already take it to a stealership to get it diagnosed?
>>28065336No not yet. This happened right as I had to leave town so when I get back I'm gonna check my connections and pray it's a ground fault or maybe the terminal connections on the battery are loose. Gave the stealership a call but even they were like yeah it's either a loose connection on the battery or the system fried on you we dunno for sure since we're over the phone. Shit looked like the exorcist it was insane. Abs light came on, then the security light, then the speedometer dropped from 60 to 0 then back and forth, engine light came on, then the battery light came on then off then on. The wildest shit I've ever seen. Damn near shat myself because traffic is NOT forgiving where I ride. They will just run you over and keep going. Around this time last month I brought it in because my brakes locked up at 20mph because the ABS flipped out and it took the retards at the dealership 3 times to fix it and $700 total. Don't get me wrong I'm not allergic to doing my own work but I have to draw the line at electrical brake work.
anybody got an inspection check list for buying a used bike
>>28065357Besides hearing a cold start/hearing it run, I usually look for aftermarket parts and ask why any of them were installed. Also good to look up the maintenance schedule and ask indirectly if they followed all the service requirements. Like "when was the last time the brakes were flushed" instead of "did you replace the brake fluid at 10,000 miles or within the last 2 years?"
>>28063244Thats the only way I can achieve maximum ball crush. Both feet down, and I lean forward.
>>28065348>Around this time last month I brought it in because my brakes locked up at 20mph because the ABS flipped outYet another reason besides complexity, expensive spares and utter lack of need that I do not use ABS and if a bike so fitted comes my way it will be deleted.
>>28065362what should i be trying to listen to during cold starts?
>>28065371I'm convinced it's designed to fail. This bike has just gotten 12k miles on it. And already it's on its last legs it feels like. Harley is clearly making bikes to be shelved by boomers and never actually ridden.
>>28065372I usually want to hear if it's struggling to start or keep revs, if revs are too high, or just any noises like clicking and "squeaking" that go away after the motor warms up. Even if you've never heard that bike before, if you notice the behavior at idle change a lot from cold to warm then it gives you some things to ask the owner about. They might just say it's normal or they might take the opportunity to talk too much which is kind of my whole strategy. The more they talk the more I might get an idea of how they've treated the bike. While the bike is warming up I would probably be fucking around with the suspension and looking at the frame, looking for damage or cracks or anything that feels mechanically sloppy/"loose". Picrel is a random checklist I just found. It's not bad as a starting place.

>>28065397If a Harley is in question they're the easiest bikes to modify and simplify. Custom and chopper builders and of course the aftermarket exhaustively explore all systems.Replacing ABS with conventional brakes is basically just plumbing since non-ABS parts abound. Working pulls from conversions can be sold to get some of the money back.
>>28065357Download a service manual before inspection and read online about any problem areas (no machine is perfect). The cold start advice is sound. Inspecting spark plugs if easy to access is also wise. I do that on bikes like HD where they're trivial to access.>>28065372Be alert for blue (oil) smoke. Condensation in exhaust systems is common as with cars so ignore steam in both cases. Black smoke means it's running rich but a little while running on with a choke or enricher applied is normal. In that case black smoke should cease when bike is warm and enricher/choke no longer applied.All this is worth learning like every aspect of wrenching and bikes being small and like are much less shitful than cars.If you post year/make/model others can direct you to useful resources. Precise description gets precise information feedback.

Hi /o/, I'm looking for a bit of guidance:>2021 Bajaj Avenger for $2000~>2022 Suzuki GN125 (made in Argentina, not China) for $2000~>2006 Suzuki SV650 for $3000~The father of a friend is selling a few of his bikes (mentioned above) and I was thinking of maybe buying one off of him. I'm pretty sure all of them are pretty well cared for but I don't really know much about motorcycles.My experience amounts to riding around in my gf's Super Cub back in college and watching motoGP as background noise lol.Are any of those options good for the price and for a noob like me? I don't particularly care for looks or speed, I just am tired of daily driving a shitbox in traffic and figure this would be a good change of pace while being a bit more engaging than a scooter.

>>28065871I am autistic and have been laid numerous times. I am not pulling beauties left and right but you just have to accept that you're working with a handicap and train yourself to do more things "manually" than a non-retarded person.
>>28065861more soft = more gas and/or speed
>>28065636Keep your hand off the front brake unless you're about to dive off a cliff.Try to keep your weight back, practice standing if you can and your handlebar ergos allow it. If it's technical, keep your nuts on the tank. Track ruts and try riding in them. If it's truly offroad, tracking is important with deeper ruts, good luck getting out and keeping speed if it ends up somewhere you're not willing to go.Don't stop.Don't be shy on the throttle, sometimes on a hill the better idea is to bang up a gear and keep in the powerband, usually helps to keep your line straight. Bogging is no good and banging down a gear risks diving the front AND slowing down.Really leave the front brake alone.At jogging/walking speeds, it's easier to just keep the rear spinning and eventually you'll point in the direction you want to go.Finally, just come to terms with sand just being the worst and embrace it.

>>28065636Are you me? I'm having the same problem on a way lighter bike.Today I had some guy stop me when he noticed I was struggling and said "RIDE WITH THE WEIGHT BACK" and I was confused because every person I talked to about it said to put weight FORWARD in sand. So I was fucking myself and didn't even know it.
>>28065887Excellent advice. Is it better to stand with full weight on footpegs and try to 'steer' using my legs or physically sit back as far as I can on the seat? Also, how do I corner? I've been slowing down to a walking pace to not lean the bike, but I'm not sure this is the right way to do it.
is surface rust on footpegs a big deal?should i just replace them completely?
>>28065898Dip your heel if you’re standing and stay on the gas
>>28062851How is riding in freezing weather (32/0 degrees)? Planning on an ironbutt ride that passes through some freezing-temp areas in January, any advice would be welcome so I won't fall and die.
>>28065904Heated jacket liner
>>28065901I would either bust the rust off with your method of choice or ignore it. If you don't like those, replace them. Not worth much thought.
>>28065904Are you taking that CRF rally on it?
>>28065902Got it. I'll do that tomorrow and give it a try.It wouldn't be so bad around here if 99% of the forest trails here weren't ankle-deep sand.
>>28065897Whoever told you weight forward is pants on fucking head retarded. Look up dirtbike "attack position" and basically do that, emphasis on ass out/back. If you must sit, sit rearward. Traction (friction) = weight * coefficient of friction. Add more weight, get more traction.
>>28065898I don't ride sand often, and excuse the ADHD, but my XR400 has pretty much only ever seen sand so consider my advice on this is with a 130kg bike with proper knobblies.Standing up with full weight on the pegs, but it's more of a high squat. Throttle inputs like snapping it open/shut can shift you harder forward or back than you can quickly control like a pendulum, risking cutting the throttle or snapping it open again. Rinse repeat. Deep squat standing > tippytoes standing. Keep your weight on the handlebars light but not feather light. If you 'preload' your bars, you can act quicker with inputs and changing centre of gravity should you need to and bumps aren't likely to throw you off. Keep your thighs snug against the seat but not clamped. WHen you stand up, you're sort of decoupling from the quick directional changes the frame is making and then slowly soaking it up as your body goes back into position. Kinda like a damper. Going uphill I would tend to keep my weight central to forward because I'd be committed to pegging it, downhill and flats weight back to central back and use the rear brake for control.Cornering is hard for me to explain, "You steer with the back wheel and just try to keep the front from washing out" sounds stupid. Try to keep a constant speed and keep the steering inputs on the minimal side. It's almost like the front wheel is skipping over the sand, just tugging the whole frame and rear wheel in a direction and the rear is doing all the work.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8tLkPnTUw2g
>>28065928Kek. We had a friend that was one of the weird ALWAYS FORWARD kinds. Got around well but it was definitely funny seeing his feet leave the pegs every now and then.One time I stalled my 400 and was just so fucking shagged I needed a breather before kickstarting it again. Mr Forwards happily stepped up to show me how it's done even as a skinny lad. Had to standup-kick to turn her over till it got to compression, kicked it so fucking hard he fell over the bars, I literally almost died. laughing."DID YOU HYDROLOCK IT OR SOMETHING?!"
>>28065888checked. some people lack problem solving skills so they fall back on giving in to despair. as a child this usually leads to someone taking pity on you so not a bad learned behavior. peak manchild trait that points to being raised by a single mother
>>28065878I think I prefer jerking off to cartoons
>>28065928Yeah I heard of the attack position and some dirtbike guy said "If you're on loose sand, the front wheel losing traction first is your enemy, shift weight forward" idk where he got that or if it's different on a really torquey dirtbike compared to my 250cc bitch bike
>>28065878slut
>>28065934Thank youQuick question, is it better to be in higher RPM on a lower gear or lower RPM in a higher gear?
>>28065958It's better to be in the correct gear and in your powerband, where ever that is on your bike
>>28065878This.I'm also at the point that I realize that you can have bitches or you can have bikes. Bikes and bikes is rare, at the very least a bitch will demand you give up your bike.
>>28065950I'm more than happy to lose traction on the front on sand/dirt, usually means the rear is doing just fine.Really, the front can/does do what it wants just skipping along while the back is absolutely rock solid.
I have a 23 cb500x. I do alot of miles on it. I ride at least 1000-2000 miles a month. I am interested in upgrading my bike though in the future. I want more power and stability at higher speeds I also need cruise control. What bike should I get?
>>28065968That guy ahead of me is doing kind of what I do when I ride, IE get thrown around with only vague sense of control from rut to rut
>>28065958>>28065963Whatever it takes to keep the wheelspeed up.I tend keep it up a gear because I know my 400 has enough torque to keep it moving if I need more throttle, but banging off the limiter in 1st will just ensure my wheel keeps spinning but doesn't mean the wheelspeed is enough to get me anywhere. Too high a gear I risk bogging and falling way low in the powerband.
>>28065971Weight too far forward for the most part. If you have more weight on the front, any traction it does get has more authority in changing your trajectory. Sitting didn't help, squatting decouples you from the frame and lets you sorta float around and stores less inertia(momentum?) in the bikes directional changes.
>>28065782It doesn't matter how long the slope is in general - we just need to look at the part of it that's between the wheels when the crest of the slope is at it's highest (when it's directly between the front and back).>Also, am I reading this right?>B=A*Cosine(Ø)B=A*Cotangent(Ø)

>>28066000Converted many a brass-balled bikie to heated grips, took a few years though.Assuming proper normal gear, I normally went with heated grips, gauntlets that velcro _over_ your jacket sleeve, double knee-high socks, balaclava/scarf and decent thermals.

Assuming mostly paved roads>what kind of bike do you like or want to get, stay in adv life?Also cb500x is already stable at its high speed, anything beyond 170kph depends on tires mostly if it isnt a old ass shitbike with gay suspensionSounds like you want a cruiser or a sport tourer, do you want my vfr800? Its red and in canada with 8000or so kms
This bike is fun as fuck. Everyone is telling me this is a "laid-back" 4-cyl and I still cannot figure out how to ride it in a chill manner. First bike I've had since a DRZ400 that insists on being wheelie'd, it's the shit. Thanks for reading my blog.
