>>28216482From my experience there isn't really a technique to master using linked braking. Its pretty shit to have when most techniques are based around being able to choose the weight distribution of your bike.
>>28216482Unlink them
>>28216681Yep. Linked brakes are hit brake and stop just like the middle pedal on a car.What do you mean your car doesn't have three pedals?
Is it ok to go off-road on a ZX-6R?
>>28216694Bikes anon, we are discussing motorcycles
2 more months until bike season
>>28216697I saw a guy on YT who traveled, raced on Nürburgring and went off-road on a ZX-6R. So apparently yes.
>>28216694Automobiles have proportioning valves to adjust bias between front and rear so ou don't lock up the rears and skid everytime you hit the brakes.You might get away with daisy chained brakes on a quad but on a bike you definitely need some way to limit rear caliper pressure.
>>282167062 more months before car washes thaw out.I'm not bucket scrubbing for anyone.
What's stopping them from offering many different colors?
>>28216765When Rossi joined Yamaha and saw the M1 for the first time he was shocked, this bike was years behind Honda, with some random wires hanging everywhere. Guess what bike doesn't need a Photoshop to look iconic.
>>28216765Mean Green is the only colour.
>>28216775>iconic
>>28216775>painted silver frame extraGrim.
>>28216736For my bike the linked break does the rear and one front disk, so you can add some front by using the handle engaging the other front disk. But my break pedal a lever you have to lift your foot up to actually use so its retarded anyway.

>>28216477why do shops hold the secrets of ECU flashing like they are medieval alchemists? Surely it can't be that difficult. I can flash my BIOS with a usb, flash my GPU firmware easily, etc.Is there some open source tool we can use for flashing ECUs instead of sending it in to some shop to plug it in, download a preset based on bike info, flash, and mail it back?

Finally got around to replacing the dorky looking dnepr front light and gauge cluster with something better looking.I'm not quite sure where the light is from, has PAL markings on the inside so I'd suspect from a Jawa maybe, but I don't remember Jawas having these large headlights.The old K bikes and the Chinese Chang Jiang 750 had a hinged chrome key cap like this

I keep saying try something smaller, idk how those boomerwings perform with corn inside, gunky carbs would probbly end this shoomer aspiration fairly quick id think
>>28216681The only difference with linked brakes and conventional is when using the rear brake a single piston for each front caliper activated as well Meaning the 70-30 rule of front and rear brake is more like 70-45 due to the front pistons activating adding an anti-dive feature. The front brake is isolated and still like every other bike (at least for Hondas LBS) I'm just curious what ways folks use this to their advantage.>>28216692Why would I spend more to downgrade when I can just adapt my skills?

Im going with scorpion exo r1, which one these designs do you like better dbt? note that my gear is black and white and I ride an R1
>>28217332Plain. When you get on a CB250 you'll look like a dick.
T7 bro how did you get started doing standup whols???
>>28217267I wouldn't really say it's "lacking" anything. If you wanted to ride true long distance keep in mind there is no windscreen or anything.
>>28217337>you'll look like a dickOh no! Well you look like a pussy caring what other people think.

Put 12k kms on it this year. Bless central european boomers for buying these bikes en masse in the 80s and 90s and keeping them in good shape for me to snatch them up when they age out of riding.>USDwell you are out of luck then. Same with Brits, didnt sell there at all for some reason
>>28217374I don't think it's a bad price, why so cheap? Make sure it doesn't have serious issues.
>>28216479Yamaha is for going too fast on poor road conditions
>>28217369thanks anon, I didnt even consider the visibility point. Mainly because I ride as if nobody can see me, if I was big into visibility I'd get fluorescent green or yellow.picrel is my suit for reference
>>28217385Africa Twin is fairly bad ass but I't take Dr Big first.I'm the one that wants....

FUCK WORK EURGHHIVE BEEN STARING AT MY BIKE SITITNG THERE LEAKING OIL ALL MONTHI JUST WANT TO FIX ER UP AND ACTUALLY START RIDING GGGGG
>>28216736CBS has proportioning valves and I remember hearing Blackbirds had two different versions with different front:rear bias. CBS also only operates one piston in each caliper opposite to the lever so stepping on the rear brake gives you way more stopping power than you can get just from the front lever
>>28217398Those would be classics and even more expensive.
>>28217392are you having a stroke
>>28217406https://www.nettimoto.com/ural/m-63/31529162500€ so it's even under 3k usd

>>28217391Gay
>>28217391Brooo go for the carbon one it looks sick and pleas post her photoshopped ass i want to buss bro
>>28217420Alien? It's Finnish, less alien than english is.Anyway the question was what bike would I spend 3 grand on.M-63 Ural it is.I've actually been playing with the idea of buying a 3rd Ural as my "main" Ural is a 12 volt IMZ 650 that I've been trying to turn into a reliable commuter/long distance rider (without much success) and my 2nd Ural is an uhhhh something or other 50s KMZ K750 that I was thinking about turning into a bobber of some sort, something loud and annoying. I've been thinking about grabbing a 6 volt M61, 62 or 63 Ural as something to keep largely stock and original to make all the boomers jealous with.
>>28217426Yeah im gonna go with the black one, cheers anon>>28217431no u>>28217434the forged carbon looks sick, thanks arsix

>>28217388Man since when it's cheap?our R3-dude bought his FZ6 for like 1k more
>>28217439Well, if you do like the carbon fiber made ones, and more importantly, you can afford it, then pick one of those up, they should be a lighter helmet too.
>>28217385Damn I have the same cases for my hog
>>28217453Yeah they came with the bike. The right one is slimmer, because of the right hand exhaust. How do you manage that? Just wish they were top-loaders. Can be a bit inconvenient on the side of the road.
>>28217476They're available in multiple sizes and in a top model. I have these small ones, two bigger ones and a top case with back rest. As you can see they clear my exhaust so I wouldn't know how to fix such problem.
>>28217453PC in the middle, I'm getting Harley Davidson and the Marlboro Man vibes from it.
>>28217500There are actually 5 bikes in that picture
>>28217453Are they all classic tourers?
>>282175052 cali 3's and 2 pc800s + a bicycle
>>28217503Tarps don't count, nor does the bicycle on the right.
>>28217507Nice bro, how is the pc800 like?I find it interesting how some anons like you or texas anon have several bikes of a niche kind.
It is finally warm enough to ride and I've lost touch and about damaged my gears downshifting and upshifting letting off the clutch and on the throttle too quick.
>>28217510Its these two bikes >>28217004 and a the second pc800 is under the tarp. Cheap winter storage but a lot of dust, thats why they're under the tarp.>>28217513A very simple plastic bike to drive. Every time you have to fix something internal a new piece of plastic breaks. Also the clutch is starting to go so i'm probably going to dump them both to get something newer.
>>28217443No you don't

How are you guys handling onboard GPS given that your bike doesn't come with one? I briefly looked into just shoving my phone + Gaia into a RAM mount until I discovered that it eats phones with OIS for breakfast. I have rock solid 65s, but that's for hiking and sucks for road planning/travel around streets where you might need it most. Final option is just to give up and settle for Cardo + google maps audio + phone in pocket, but that's really only good with a locked in route.
>>28217743There are a lot of options, you could try that beeline puck thing but that uses their software, go old school with a tomtom or w/e alternative or go for a "rugged" tablet or cheapo phone which you don't mind getting its camera broken.

For the other Texas anon who was in the last thread, if the highways scare the shit out of you here, wouldn't recommend getting a bike here. You can stick to city streets and FM roads but everything here is connected with highways, you almost have to use a highway to get anywhere meaningfully. The highways here are a war zone. Absolutely.There aren't really any nice roads in the mid cities area of Fort Worth where you are. There are nice roads out west of Fort Worth and up by McKinney, and further out east by Kaufman. But again, you gotta take a highway. I'm assuming you didn't come from a major metro, where the traffic was much calmer.https://youtu.be/kfsEiPtIUno?si=jgrZ_S-Amr1k0VON
>>28216479>the closest yamahafags get to offroading is doing a gay burnout on the shoulder of a highway
>>28217747Based?
>>2821774I was doing what you described but I ust purchased this so I can have a rear view camera at all times but it's so much more. It's front and rear camera with recording but it also has gps, navigation, car play, etc. Made for motorcycles, fully waterproof. I'm going to clamp it to the stalk of my LH mirror so it's always in full view even when I'm full tuck. It's made to clamp to handlebars, but it should clamp around my mirror. If you have regular bars, it should be easier to mount for you.

Shove them in my ears as far as they will go. They work.
>>28217645I'm just getting started myself.I've given up on clutch up standing whols because I dont like how I have to loosen my grip on the bar to grab the clutch.I've been trying to get the hang of just timing a spring compression squat and throttle dump. It works sometimes but the body movement and rhythm is hard to get consistent. I need more practice. I'm pulling too much on the bars when I know the whol comes mainly in the throttle not pulling the bike up. I've gotten up pretty high a few times and feels like I'm going to loop it.Seated whols are so much easier god damn.

It needs some work.>carb/petcock rebuild>fuel lines>rebuild forks and rear shock maybe>get into the wiringI wasn't looking for a project, this thing is NASTY.

It's not even a comparison between my DRZ, and the DRZ has cams, exhaust, and FCR39. So, uh. How do I learn to ride offroad? I've never ridden on dirt for longer than a minute, and the dirt is about an hour and a half away. I could see me easily fucking myself up on this thing.

>>28218026I can't speak to their adventure bikes, but for pure dual sports, KTM has this habit of putting 50-60hp racing engines with service intervals measured in operating hours on 200-225lbs chassis. That's a very specific caliber of rider, and I ain't it.

>>28218086The Dirtster was cool, I miss it dearly. Even though it kept catching fire and stranding me.I miss maxing it out at 6 am on backroads on the way to work listening to John Michael Montgomery. Ill have a better one someday I promise.
