>>28594668Scooters aren't bikes and don't belong in /dbt/, perhaps you can start a new /dst. scooter thread.
If I just want something to exploring trails with minimal maintenance, should I get a crf300f or klx300r? I've been riding dual sports and motorcycles the better part of a decade now, so size isn't a huge concern, but my bonneville isn't great on dirt and I'd like something for exploring deep into trails and bdrs out here.I'm not a huge guy, 5'9, so maybe a 140 would be enough too. I miss my old pit bike.
>>28594736i like how scooters are the problem but eating up the same copy paste reddit shit daily for a fucking year doesnt phase you kek.
>>28594745Do you like the color green or red better?

>>28594753I'd probably spray paint either black.
>>28594779lol im sorry anon i wont laugh again
>>28594745Klx300r has dohc with liquid cooling while the crf300f says it has sohc with air cooling. Kawasaki has a 270 front 240 rear brake while honda has a 240 front 220 rear. Kawasaki has 1.7 inches more of suspension travel, which you might not feel, but adjustable suspension. Kawasaki also has higher compression and a square over engine built to rev high all day. Not sure about the honda's build but it seems like a lower compression engine intended for easy riding at lower rpms on the trails.Honda priced the crf300f directly to compete and undercut the klx300r, and in doing so made a piece of shit that directly replaces the crf250f with another lightweight, light duty bike. So will $500 make it worth getting a significantly worse bike? Your call.
Motorcycle helmets do indeed expire. They are designed to protect your head, but over time, the materials used in their construction can degrade, reducing their effectiveness.Lifespan of Helmets General Recommendation: Most manufacturers suggest replacing helmets every 5 to 7 years. Factors Affecting Lifespan: Material Degradation: Helmets made from materials like fiberglass, carbon fiber, and polycarbonate can deteriorate due to exposure to sunlight, heat, and sweat. Accidents: If a helmet has been involved in a crash, it should be replaced immediately, even if no visible damage is apparent.Signs of Expiration Visual Inspection: Look for cracks, dents, or significant scratches. Fit and Comfort: If the helmet feels loose or uncomfortable, it may be time for a new one. Inner Padding: Check if the inner foam returns to its original shape after being pressed. If it doesn’t, the helmet has likely lost its protective capability.ConclusionRegularly inspect your helmet and adhere to the manufacturer's guidelines for replacement. Even if a helmet appears clean and undamaged, its materials can lose protective properties over time.

I want a bike capable of going on off-road/ barely paved roads but still looks like a sport/naked bike. Can I just slap the off road tires like on a Yamaha tenure onto a mt-09? Did anyone do that before?

>someone else on the platform is getting attention?>HOW CAN I MAKE THIS ABOUT ME
Hello anons, How do you guys live with a big bike? I have a small 300cc bike and I take it around the city, park anywhere, its around 175kg so its easy to handle and its fine. I ride with Helmet, gloves and TCX Street ace. If Im touring, I go with full gear, sometimes, I skip the boots and gloves and just ride with helmet, shorts and flip flops. So, I buy a big bike like F850GS, I cannot do this anymore right? Ride around city without proper gear? Or is it no big deal? Should I only use the big bike for touring? Do you ride with MX Boots or are Adventure boots good enough? Street ace is not good enough anymore for bopping around?
>>28595068YAHOOOOO
>>28595069you shouldnt ever be riding without proper gear, regardless of the cc of the bike, retardthe human body begins to break apart at 18mph
6 hours into my scoot trip along thr PCH. I am in Ventura, 3 hours to Moro Rock. I am hoping to steel ass my way to Big Basin today. Wish me luck anons its like 7 more hours to accomplish that. Never doubt the Smax.
>>28595068Yeah thats generally how the platform works. I don't even think the video is monetized. I could be wrong, but I can't get an ad to play when I click around.
>>28595069Bigger bikes are better for commuting on the highway, but if I could make my commute to work reasonably with a coleman 200cc pit bike, I fucking would. I love smaller bikes and they're absolute thrills.
>>28595071I've been riding scoots with just helmets from back when I was a kid. I ride my 300 around in slow speeds without much gear within city limits.
>>28595069Head hands and feet are useful in decending order.All that safety shite you get in cars are what you wear to the store.I know someone that almost lost a leg to a CB125 falling on him.
>>28595084organ donor.youre the reason everyone else's insurance is so high.
>>28595084I can still do this, my 125 scoot is plenty for around the city. So GS just for touring then.
>>28595085>almost lost a leg to a CB125Fuck! How does this even happen? I can probably find people who can throw that bike over the head like its a toy.
>>28595084It would fuck me up to fall from a standstill on my wrists on pavement without also going faster than I can run. I think you're an idiot.
>>28595094>>28595086I am an Idiot, so no more squiding on bikes if I get a big one, got it. Scoot is like a motored bicycle, I doubt I can do atgatt for scoots.
>>28595092Footpeg in calf muscle became infected. F* knows how he did it but the injury is real.
>>28595094Not that guy but riding nekkid is fun.I wouldn't recommend doing that in traffic.
>>28595099>Footpeg in calf muscle became infectedSometimes I wonder why I even ride.
>>28595097you shouldnt be squidding on anything that goes above 15mph
>>28595097Wear what you would to an msf course. You're going fast enough to not get hot in a jacket and gloves. Acceptable footwear doesn't cost more than decent running shoes and you can get a pair that looks like normal shoes anyways.>>28595104I really don't get it. When I'm riding sometimes my pants go just a bit down and the wind tickles my asscrack and it ruins the whole ride.
>>28594736They hated him because he spoke the truth
>>28594765Anime website faggot
>>28595110Got it will start doing the minimum on me Biak.
>>28595112I get it, but never went to msf course, my dad taught me how to ride on his scoot. I later rented a full-size bike and learnt to ride with my friend's help.
>>28595072Do you know PCH is closed between you and Big Basin? Landslide is still there
>>28594927Any bike can do barely paved roads if you're careful enough. I was entertaining the idea of an XSR700 as a scrambler. I ended up with a z900rs because boomers love them so they're always for sale in my area at the same price as bikes targets towards younger riders.
You’re really gay if you insist on atgatt at city speeds. The limit is 25mph where I’m at, you don’t even need a license to operate a moped at those speeds. Do what you want, but it marks you as enjoying the warm embrace of a hairy man lovers anus
Oh fuck, why am I doing this to myself. I already decided that I want an Ultra Bee, why did I have to listen to the siren call of Livewire discount? Now I want a Mulholland.This bike is weird. It poses as a croooooser, but it's slim, it feels light and agile, its ergos let you comfortably stand on it, all as if somebody wanted to actually make a sumo but was ordered to make it a harley. It accelerates just right, it engine brakes just right, and its seat is sculpted just wonderfully.I only got to sit on a half-disassembled Del Mar, without the tank panels its seat was digging into my thighs, but not sure if with the tank it would be any better, the shape of the seat itself is different from Mulholland.
>>28595168btw can anyone recommend any good cream to help after falling off my scooter at city speeds and losing the skin on my arm?
>>28595170>wow the Harley is a really good comfortable bike Yeah retard, they’re all that way, hope you didn’t fall for the weeb propaganda I would buy a livewire in a heartbeat if I had a garage
>>28595173I recommend neosporin for the scrape on your elbow
>>28595177I tried Sportster S and it was ass.Nightster even worse.I didn't bother to check out their boomer-cooled models, but even if they are comfy they won't be nearly as nimble purely because of the weight.
>>28595168youre a faggot and a retard and you dont ride a bike.
>>28595177Also, harleys generally have ridiculously low mileages compared to hondas, BMWs and even ducatis. If they are so comfortable, why don't they get ridden?
>>28595181That wouldn't be good enough. Anon, do you know one of the reasons that cyclists shave their arms? Its the same reason we wear jackets.>fall off bike going 20 mph>arm hair works like velcro with the pavement>body keeps moving and your skin goes before the pavement does
>>28595146Don't tell me anon, some indians recently made this kit for the guerrilla and i must admit it would be hard to not get some more aggressive tires, slap a bashplate/handguards and turn it into a proper little scrambler
>>28594736>>28595113Tap tap tap
>>28595185I ride a bicycle and a motorcycle you’re just a homosexual. It’s okay, it’s 2025, you can like hairy man ass >>28595189Can’t imagine actually believing this
>>28595197You're more than welcome to test it for me, anon.
>>28595198Fortunately I’m not brain damaged so the chances I crash at 20mph are extremely low It’s very brave how you overcame your disability to the point you’re almost coherent
Man I can't afford atgatt. Why is this guy antagonizing people and being so mean? Its insanely expensive to do. Plus its literally over 100f everyday where I live. Give me a break. He keeps saying squid. I think he's just assuming I'm one of those guys wheeling through traffic and doing over 100mph. I've literally never taken my bone over 40mph. I've never been on a highway.Can you give me a break? I just want to commute. I just can't do atgatt. This isn't a hobby for me. I don't have a car alternative or something. I can't afford to constantly buy really expensive gear. I can't afford to arrive everywhere soaked in sweat or to dress in riding leathers everywhere I go.
>>28595203If you rode you would know thats not the case. Cars and pedestrians in parking lots are out for you.
>>28595209I explained why, he lusts for hairy man ass. Sin darkens the mind
>>28595209>I want to spend more time on the road than someone doing this for a hobby>and this is why I don't think I need gear
>>28595214Its not about need. I literally just can't do it. I wear my helmet and gloves and drive safe. That's all I can do. I'm not insulting you man I haven't done anything. Just give me a break here.I haven't said anything rude. Or demeaning. Never. So I don't understand all the mean things you're saying.
>>28595209Have you considered mini motos?
I think if a 4chan conversation stresses you out then maybe motorcycles are not a good idea.
>>28595234How would that fix anything
>>28595241Tbf my bike never called me a faggot
>>28595242No real need for atgatt and no one looks at you twice for it.
Minimal transport from the big H.Ring a ding.
>>28595262Neither of those are true. I'm not a year what you're defining as mini moto.But the stuff considered minimoto where I live are very expensive
Rode around today, did some offroading, got some gas and errands done, and got a bow and arrow set for $9 at a garage sale that I'm gonna give to my little sister in law for her 11th birthday. Rode home looking like katniss everdeen with it slung over my shoulder. Definitely got some looks, probably look like a gay larper lol.
>>28595141I'll be dipping onto the 101 after Morro! Its very sad I would have loved to roll the 1 all the way up. A road trip for a future day with friends. On another note god bless the gas mileage on the smax. I got it tuned up and I must be getting crazy mileage. I was white knuckling into Lompoc but I actually have quite a bit of gas to spare.
I want to build a rally scooter for shits and giggles. The problem is that all the dirt roads are all tourist senic routes and so much dust gets kicked up. Should I care?
>>28595257Mine has, but its also Italian.
>>28595284Rally is A to B navigation and the party when you get there.Dirt and stuff is just part of the game.
dbt what do you use to wipe bugs from the visor when not at home?
>>28595302Goes on a finger.
>>28594840>motorcycle dealership>actually trying to sell motorcyclesYou have made a critical error
>>28595307Doesn't that just smudge the bug juices all over the visor?
>>28595299I'm more worried about being a nuisance. But for filthy, littering tourists? I'm leaning towards no.
>>28595302SCRAPE AND LICK
>>28595312i noticed
is my kfc bucket even raimucore bros?I heard simpsons are shietAlso the agvDont really care for a new one
>>28595335how was the late night ride, shoom? also yeah heard the same and it's a bummer because they look cool
>>28595186Because their primary customers are older people with disposable income that don't really care about riding and a strong fear of death and pain.
Would a coleman mini bike make a good soda runner if I take out the throttle screw and adjust the governor spring to wrap 30mph out of it?
>>28595302i lost my visor a couple of days ago, bugs are going straight into my eye balls like God intended
>>28595209>Lives in hot area >Can't drive fast (likely shitty roads)>Doesn't like covering up>Plays victim immediately after being proven stupid.Are you Indian? Just cover your skin up when you ride, mesh jackets are extremely cheap and wear shoes that cover your ankles and get a cheap pair of gloves with palm sliders. Otherwise stop complaining and just become a stain on the pavement. It's okay if you want to die just stop trying to convince everyone you're anything but stupid
>>28595346Sure. Throw a briggs flathead in it for maximum fun.
>>28595342Should i get thr racing extreme g2: LIMITED ULTRAGLIDE for $1400 East Indian Trading Company® syrup Redemption Tokens™?Im really cluelesa as to what to find in helmet, i like arai design ones theyre cool and handmade 1000fold styrofoam that doesnt expire in 5 years; invincibles
>>28595197as i said, you dont ride a bike, and youre a faggot, and a retard.
>>28595357100% my thoughts reading thisif youre in a hot place, and using a bike to travel, yet cant afford gear, you have to be from a shitskin country
>>28595222>and drive safeits not your riding thats the issue here, its other peoplethe more you ride, the more people you encounterthe more people you encounter, the more bad drivers you encounterthe more bad drivers you encounter, the more shit situations you get (NOT YOUR CHOICE)the more shit situations you get, the more likely you are to have an accident if you only ride your bike from your house to the shops and its <1km away, the chance of you getting mowed down by a soccermom running late for her zoomcall is never non-existentbut the more time you spend in the saddle, the chances of this happening to you only ever increase and by the sounds of it, you might be a thirdie, so you should 100% invest in self preservation gear, tactics and mentality - unless of course you want a swift exit from the subcontinent, in which case find the nearest train
>>28595209ATG. With me >heads and shoulders knees and toes.Gear ought to cost about a third of the cost of your first bike. You do want a second bike.

>>28595525The dude did give me Trevor from gta5 vibes.>>28595527All of the above? A hooker or some kid. Either way I wasn't hanging around to find out. I wonder if the news will say anything, my intuition just made me feel like he wasn't alone.
>>28595522>I was armed and still everything in my body told me to fuck off as fast as I couldYou have prey instincts. Disgusting.

Harley Davidson boomers are now playing hood rap music on their Harley’s and honestly it’s better than the other crap they play
>>28594898They made MT10 with touring package.It's probably the same reason why they are discontinuing MT10. Emissions. CP4 engine is thirsty even with super lean stock mixture and the extended gear ratio, so probably bit difficult to pass the emission regulations without overhauling the engine.

What's the lower brake caliper bolt called? I'm only finding the top one for parts sanpped mine like a retard, something must be wrong with my torque wrench, I was thinking it was too many rotations after hand tight

>>28596138Any Hardly able to ride needs a wide berth.They make a Chinese level smear.
God dammit, I get on my KLR650 for the first time in months, and the rear brake just doesn't work anymore. The brake pedal is all floppy and doesn't do anything. There is brake fluid in the reservoir, but I haven't fucked around with it anymore beyond that. Do you guys think the master cylinder failed?
>>28596119>crush pillOmae wa mou friendzoned.
Hey gents,I just a heads up to be wary of getting gloves from Odin Mfg. I ordered a pair that were on sale, $49 from $75. When they came in I was honestly not impressed by their quality. The kicker were some seems that already were starting to stretch and fail. Couldn't initiate a return on their website, their policy (on a separate page, not on the glove's page) is that they don't do return/exchange on sale items. Sent them a email with the picture, waiting to see what they are going to do. Whether or not I get a refund/exchange isn't exactly the point here. If the build quality on these gloves in indicative of their full price gloves: avoid!
>>28596139interdasting. a caliper rebuild kit should come with the rubber pieces and maybe the one bolt. also, don't use one of the big torque wrenches for that small of a bolt. I just chose a random year, so look up the year specific to your bike.

Motojitsu is off his schizophrenia meds again bros
>>28596191Thanks, I had already found the part number (90180-MN8-006) >don't use one of the big torque wrenches for that small of a bolt.Yeah, it was in the lower range of my wrench and what I originally set it with. Noticed My brake lights were stuck on after changing the rear pads a month or two ago, took them off and put them back on but it ended up being something with the front brake I haven't diagnosed.

>>28596278This guy is kind of a faggot, but he's really cool at the same time.He made me want a Norton 961 which is something I never thought I'd say.But man. I want a Norton that hasn't had Indian hands all over it.
>>28596285Why? Tvs is one of the better brands they are heavily influenced by Suzuki and makes bikes for BMW.
>>28596292Because indian shitskins invaded my country, they smell bad, they're ugly as shit, their culture is shit, and I'll die before I buy a bike made by street shitting, inbred, cow loving indians.

I thought /dbt/ didn't hate me, ok. We have to prove you wrong by making better bikes. No matter.
>>28595335Simpsons are alright depending on the model. The outlaw bandits are snell certified and you can get them with carbon fiber. The other stuff is just chinese ece 2205 like every other cheap helmet. I'd still prefer them over ruroc though cause ruroc is a smaller, newer company. At the end of the day, just look for ece 2206 or snell certified helmets if you care about safety. Otherwise whatever makes you feel cool. Raimu and the other of the stigs cousins would be ashamed of the increasingly globalist cost cutting measures of modern gear and motorcycle manufacturers
>>28596377I don’t hate jeets I just don’t want to live near them. I pray you jeets improve your own country, and I think it’s incumbent on the rich to help the poor like in jeet land. Except actually help them, in India, not just let a few tens of millions into our countries here and there.
>>28596377If india just cleaned up their metropolitan areas and some of their landmarks, their image would be so much better. It doesn't do good for anyone having the ganges full of shit and dead bodies, slums around the taj mahal, and delhi being a saturated mess. Every big country in the world has homeless people and slums. Economically and public image wise, India could easily elevate itself to china's level if they could get past their cultural road blocks with castes and swallow their pride. The ball is in their court right now in like every industry.
>>28596385there's two Snell certifications now, -R suffix and -D suffix, the -R cert is similar to ECE 2205 and should be avoided too, if there is no suffix then it's also the good version
>>28596408They’re both mediocre desu, snell is for cars The new ECE and the French standard which is slightly more stringent but the name escapes me right now are both good I have some friends at DOT (I’m an engineer in a different field) and I’ve heard rumors of a new standard coming down the pipe that will match ECE

>>28596445I added a shaft (mine) into youre mom pussy
>>28596445I think it’s pretty silly that we have so few shaft drive bikes. I can take the L on parasitic loss, I still have the power to weight ratio of an 80s supercar
>>28596453I'm pretty sure some old japanese bikes did have small shafts before they only added them on the tourers. I would love to have a smaller bike but only the big ones get them these days..
>>28596474Japs always have small shafts, if their vids are anything to go by
>>28596474It’s one of the main reasons I’m looking so hard at the v85tt for my next ride, small displacement
>>28596394>I pray you jeets improve your own countryThe improvements are happening, it just takes time.
>>28596401All the things that you mentioned are gradually improving, but we have a long way to go.
>>28596488That’s good But even if India was a first world country and produced world class culture I still wouldn’t want to live around ten million Indians All of that’s true of Japan but I don’t want to live in a Japanese city either
>>28596487Been down to the store to see this one, pic related, listed at 10.5KIt misses some desirable 2024 model year improvements but it’s a good deal, and I bet I could get them to throw in the luggage that’s on their other unsold 2023Plus the color scheme is to die for >our system thinks your post is spam
>>28596453Moto Guzzi
Someone please tell me why I shouldn't get one of these. Apparently they're bulletproof other than the clutch, which is easily replaced, and can be modded in 5 minutes to add an additional 8-10mph over stock for free, by removing a throttle limit screw and moving a governor spring.
>>28596539Mind you, I have a real dirt bike, but this thing looks amazing for zipping around town on.
>>28596541Is that a hardtail? Does it come with a supply of preparation h?
>>28596549They make a variation with suspension, but it's an extra $200.
>>28596549>>28596555Some people highly recommend getting the suspension model, while others say airing down the back tire offroad makes more of a difference.

Scooters are legit bikes for daily use. They can have decently big wheels and have more protection against dirt and water. They also have space for a full helmet or a bag under the seat. And unlike your weekend queen you don't suffer if it gets a scratch. It is the perfect urban workhorse. Whoever looks down on scooters itt is a fag that secretly dreams of being a scooting anime girl
>>28596539Slow and gay unless you are a toddler
>>28596563I tried my brother in law's Suzuki Burgman 125, it was pretty cool.
That S2 Mulholland ride convinced me that I will go electric. I don't care about the downsides. I don't like long-range high-speed rides anyway, I prefer to go slow.Now I need to decide how low will I go. Perhaps instead of an e-moto I should pick an L1e bike to enjoy the slowest possible rides on bike paths. Or maybe even go with speed-pedelec, or, god forbid, with an e-bike.What will my ass the least uncomfortable on a long multi-hour ride: a motorcycle seat, a bicycle seat, or a scooter seat?
>>28596216kek he’s losing an internet argument rn so he’s freaking tf out
>>28596563scooters arent bikes
>>28596539There is no reason not to have another type of bike to your collection. Especially a great tinker toy like that. Throw a flathead innit. Trust me.>Governor>5 minutesI'm pretty sure you need to split the cases to do it properly. Also your flywheel will explode.
>>28596294>Because indian shitskins invaded my countryThey've also invaded your /dbt/.
>>28596643>2 wheeled >engineWhere is the difference? In the shape?Are choppers bikes?Are trikes bikes?There is no scooter specific license in most places.
>>28596652choppers are chopped up bikestrikes are trikes yes, because most scooters dont fall under a license category, retard.
>>28596652>Key Differences>Frame & Riding Position:>Motorcycle: Triangular frame with the engine between the rider's legs. The rider straddles the bike, swinging a leg over to sit. >Scooter: Step-through frame with the engine under the seat. Riders can step into the scooter and place their feet on a platform in front. >Transmission:>Motorcycle: Almost always has a manual transmission with a clutch and a foot-operated gear shifter. >Scooter: Typically features a fully automatic "twist and go" transmission, simplifying operation. >Engine & Power:>Motorcycle: Generally larger engines, more powerful, and can be faster. >Scooter: Usually have smaller engines (e.g., 50-250cc), are less powerful, and are designed for efficiency rather than high performance. >Wheels & Tires:>Motorcycle: Tends to have larger wheels and tires, which offer better stability over bumps and rough roads. >Scooter: Often have smaller wheels and are less stable on poor roads, making them better suited for smooth urban environments. >Intended Use & Handling:>Motorcycle: Suited for a wider range of riding, including high-speed commuting, touring, and aggressive cornering. >Scooter: Ideal for casual urban commuting, navigating tight spaces, and providing a simpler, more comfortable riding experience. you can quite literally just google these things and see that theyre clearly different youre saying a car and a truck are the same, do the same because you can drive them on the same license you are retarded
>>28596666retard
>>28596670yeah you are
>>28596652YWNBAB
>>28596652There is no difference. Scooter are motorcycles and fags that seethe over it forget that Harley Davidson started on a fucking pedal bike.>Most scootersProofs? Because you need a motorcycle endorsement for anything over 50cc nearly everywhere.
>>28596681samefag
>>28596671Instead of getting your dumbfuck internet chatbot to tell you a bunch of shit that is wrong which you can't figure out because you're even dumber than a dumbfuck internet chatbot, if you knew literally anything about what you're talking about you could have just told him that a scooter has an unsprung drivetrain which is absolute shit for anything but manufacturing cost and freeing up space in the middle of the bike.

>>28595889oh no you might get poop on your butt that way
>>28596644The governor on these bikes involves a zip tie on the throttle spring and cutting back the throttle limit screw. Everything else will spell disaster.

>>28596648I can tell, some indian 125 shitbikes keep getting brought up
>>28596539Great little bikes, I had something similar that I'd commute to school on as a kid on back roads and trails in my little town. Police didn't care as long as you stayed off the highway and 3 major streets that had 45mph+ limits. When I say I commuted on it as a kid, I mean from like 13 all the way through the first half of college. They're super reliable, if your engine blows honda sells compatible engines that have a billion guides on youtube for retrofitting. You can also find guides for rigging your own random engines to it, as long as you can find a way to mount it with some hardware or a visit to a machine shop.A few things:The carburetor needs flushing if you let it sit for over a few months. That was never a problem for me, but many friends had these, and seafoam isn't doing shit. You may need to replace the carb every few hundred or thousand hours, but I never needed to replace mine.The clutch needs replacing only if you rig the bike up beyond it's build quality. Do what you said and cut the governor screw. The zip tie thing makes the throttle feel like shit and you'll only get another few mph out of it. Most importantly is to keep the bike under 5100 rpm, get an aftermarket digital tach that hooks to the engine and just place it somewhere in view. My bike would get 27mph with just the governor screw cut back and sit just under 5100 rpm wrapped out. The stock tires are shit and you need to do some modification if you want to change the tire size, but there are a small handful of tires you can find that will fit stock, even if it's slightly smaller.Change the oil every 15 hours. For me this was a weekly chore I got used to, I used this bike for everything as a kid. For most colemans you should be using 15w30 or thicker, especially in the summer. I used 15w30 in mine and bought it by the 5 gallon jug, and just replaced the oil every week.Replace the air filter every month or two. This depends on your air quality.
>>28596723-contI always used 89 octane in mine, but anything over 87 should work in theory. Check and keep that drive chain lubed like you're about to shove it up your ass. Your best mods will be the governor thing and a torque converter. After that, I wouldn't bother fucking with it much. Some people get theirs to go 40+mph, it will be a squirrely piece of shit with any tires you put on it at that speed.Otherwise, while being maintenance heavy, all of it is super easy and this bike will last you for years to come. I eventually sold mine with somewhere around 1500 hours on it in total. Some things needed replacing, but it was all very easy to do. I ended up selling it after getting my motorcycle license, but this was a great learner bike to get started on, and made the msf course a breeze. I would gladly get a new one because it's so nostalgic for me, but I'm just not in the market for one right now.
>>28596539Oh I almost forgot, these will climb hills reasonably with a torque converter, and stock they will clim "hills" that you need to get over when doing mild offroading. These are great offroad, especially in flat terrain, but ground clearance becomes an issue where water and rocks are a concern.
>>28596722anyone advocating for low cc bikes and scooters is a jeet
>>28596753In the EU you can drive 125cc bikes with a car license. To get a 250cc+ bike license you need to go back to driving school and pass a new practical exam.
>>28596758no you cant
>>28596539I'd spend the extra money on a used klx110, crf125, or similar kid's dirt bike. Things that are trivial for even a very small dirtbike will be enormous challenges for a pit bike with no suspension. You can't stand on the pegs on that thing without wanting to tip over because they're forward placed on a sheet metal frame. Your balls will smack every time you hit even the lightest washboard roads that you wouldn't even feel on a small dirtbike. A true "point and go anywhere" bike would be like the klx110rl that special forces uses.

>>28596758You‘re half-right. (1) having a B license automatically gives you AM (50cc) aswell(2) if you‘re at least 25y/o and have had your B license for 5yrs you can do a quick and dirty 700€ course to get the B196 addon added to your license. 4hrs theory, 5hrs practice, no test, just an endorsement from your driving school required.
