>bike has almost 100k km>changed the spark plug with the recommended one (exactly the same as the one installed)>pretty sure it was still the factory spark plug, very worn down (pic related)Starts much better but the engine now is heating up much more, I felt the heat on the seat and while riding, the crankcase burns to the touch when I stop. It didn't get so hot beforeThe coolant temp is still ok (used to stay at a quarter but now goes until the middle of the gauge)What the fuck is going on? I'm thinking in putting the old plug back in I don't want to grenade my bike
>>28749196RARE EXCEPTION ONLY APPROVED DURING WINTER
>>28749202I'm wondering if it was sad and ill before you swapped the plugs.The gauge ought to be in the middle.
>>28749213I've thought about that but I don't notice much difference in performance. I do hear a bit more backfiring when I rip it.Only changed it because it's been taking a bit more to start, now it starts right up>The gauge ought to be in the middle.In the summer it went up to the middle but only some times
>>28749202middle of the gauge is still fine anon but if the difference is too noticeable it could be that the previous spark was about to die
>>28749202if the bottom end is overheating your not getting lubrication. check and change the oil and while your at it check if your running lean
>>28749227I'm ok with the middle of the gauge but the engine but the engine cases seem way too hot>>28749234I will change the oil and see if it overheats. There is a gap between the muffler and the exhaust pipe tho, could this plus the new plug be causing the overheat?
>>28749133But I already have the perfect Honda
>>28749245>could this plus the new plug be causing the overheat?nah. airflow would affect the top end not the bottom. is your bike air cooled? they consume oil more than liquid cooled engines and sometimes need oil added between changes if you ride them hard all the time
>>28749259Some Hondas are good but peak Honda occured here.
>>28749138>kando doesnt realI rest my case
>>28749263It's a watercooled thumper, EFI, it's leaking a bit of oil and burning it due to the high mileage so I have to add a bit sometimesThanks anon(s), now it's too dark but tomorrow I will upgrade the oil and retest the two plugs
>>28749299NP, if you can check the compression that will tell you if your piston rings need replacing. when they are worn the oil loss will rise fast. with high mileage its inevitable and a cheap simple fix especially with one piston.
>Buy new PWK carb>Power jet came with a block off jet>Try to unscrew>Stuck in there>Brass stripsI bought a PWK because of the power jet. Why would someone send me one with a #0 jet installed?
>>28749271That's not an RC213V-S. That was pure weaponised corporate autism. I hope in future it's repeated once again.
>>28749312I don't have a compression tester yet but I'm pretty sure they need to be replaced and valves adjusted too. Bike sounds like a bag of screws. never had the heat issue tho.I hope to get a new cylinder early next year when I get some more time and cash

>>28749182I disagree (but those are my bikes so im biased)If anyone got questions about either 900cc lemme know, im kinda bored atm
>>287492021. I assume you verified that the gap on the sparkplug is in spec for your bike2. Check your coolant / thermostat, might be out/low/improperly mixed or a stuck thermostat in the worse case3. As a hail marry Check your bikes Fuel Pressure Regulator, take the vacuum line off and see if fuel comes out. If there is then your bike might be running hot because it's running lean. Spark plug isn't the problem, it's a problem that's been hiding that only reared it's head from the new plugs

>>28749476Thanks for the tip>>287496791. ERm... this is the first time I ever changed a plug without checking. I don't have the feeler with me here but I will get one tomorrow2. My rad is kind of bent on the side from a crash earlier this year, never had a temperature issue though, even on the warmest summer days the needle barely went up from a quarter. When I got the bike a few years ago I did find it weird how it barely warmed up but figured it's because it's a small engine.3. Got it, I'll check it tomorrow. I'm starting to get some engine case oring oil leaks so it would make sense other rubbers starting to break down.>Spark plug isn't the problem, it's a problem that's been hiding that only reared it's head from the new plugsIt left me stumped, bike has been solid for years, I just rode to a place with a nice view, went for a walk, changed the plug, started like a dream, went for a ride and I felt the heat. That's itBtw, shouldn't it be backfiring less?
For you lads that have houses without a garage, where you park your bikes?
>>28749245Exhaust leaks like that can't hurt the engine but can make everything downstream to the muffler hotter sometimes causing backfiring out the exhaust.Cheap IR temp guns are fun to play with. Your plug isn't causing the overheat and since you have EFI that means electronic ignition whose timing should not be able to drift over time. When I want to check mixture I buy several plugs online (you can use them up as normal after doing plug chops). The AI summary of how to do a plug chop is correct (I just checked) but since that shit might change at random check a few videos. If anything got disturbed when doing the plug replacement that could cause an intake leak (old hoses become brittle etc). I'd inspect any vacuum hoses (if bike has a vacuum petcock) and the boot between carb and engine for damage, dry rot etc.What do any owners groups, subweddits, Fecesbook owners groups etc say about your machine? Someone will have had your problem before you did.>>28749326Compression testers are dirt cheap (they're just a Bourdon tube gauge, fittings and hose, ensure you get one with the right spark plug adapter size. Never assume anything needs replacing but that many miles inspecting the valve clearances with a feeler gauge won't hurt anything. I use the go/no-go method which is reliable. (If .005" fits but .006" doesn't, .005" is correct etc) Use the values from your service manual (which should be easy to find as a free download, factory books preferred). After the valve clearances are set is best time to compression test. When I set valves I turn the engine over by hand then recheck valve clearances to make sure all is as it should be. Check if a new cylinder with piston and rings is cheaper than buying a used one and having it bored by a machine shop. I'd bring the shop manual so the machinist can jot down the specs. If used heads are cheap I'd overhaul both to make the swap an easy afternoon job. Keep the removed set of course.
>>28749827No, stop with this shit. I know it works, but thinking about pushing on the side I need to turn makes me slower since I have just been intuitively doing it since I learned to ride a bike.
>>28749827found the nobike
>>28749409What did Yoshimura say when you contacted them?>>28749880Backfiring won't be a plug issue. If it were timing backfire out the intake = too far advanced and out the exhaust too far retarded, but exhaust leaks can cause that too. If the gap where your muffler is clamped to the downpipe is just a sloppy fit you might be able to cut up a beer can with snips or scissors, wrap the joint then secure with one worm drive hose clamp on the muffler and one on the downpipe to force the can to conform. It's an ancient trick.Being a KLR I'd visit the ADVrider forums and whatever KLR fora look good. There were so many make someone will have had your problem so make a maximally detailed post to help them help you.
>>28749690Yes, it's a very happy machine>>28749880>bent radiatorThat would explain the temp gauge rising but your thermostat (assuming your bike has one) might be stuck closed which is very bad, id go out on a limb and assume it's the original one and never been replaced. Do not ignore. >backfiring This is gonna sound insulting but did you absolutely thread it in properly and all the way in and not crossthreaded? Check the spark plug wires itself if your bike is carbed then you might need to adjust the fuel.
>>28749882I always put whatever I was dailying outdoors near my bedroom window. when I rented. I rarely covered my dailys but when I did I used boring gray or black tarps to blend in.I should have bought a 20' standard height shipping container when renting, preferably a "one trip" grade, because you can have them moved in future the way they're delivered using an F350 size or larger rollback. Da wife painted the street side of our 20 in a woodland camo which makes it disappear since it's behind trees and shrubs. Containers make wonderful shops used like the military and industry use them. The bill for my cheap dehumidifiers is tiny, barely above the baseline service cost (my shops have their own service).When I got smart about that as a homeowner I used 40' High Cube (the height is worth it as are doors on both ends to ride straight though) containers and have four so far plus a 20' we placed for our tenants to store shit.A 20 is plenty for a decent small shop with shelves hung from the ceiling as I do on mine. Another way is use a box trailer (you can rent trucks if you need to move it and they're awesome for when you move to your next home). I use mine for electrical tools and equipment at the moment. I removed the wheels and store those inside. The trailer sits on old car and truck rims placed horizontally under the corners. I nested mine with one horizontal and the second vertical inside the first. I use a Bulldog style hitch mount which besides beind adjustable is easy to remove and store or use with other trailers. (Since I only pull one at a time I only bought one hitch.) No hitch and no wheels reduces theft risk and the trailer is a nice boring white with no indication anything that matters lives inside.Every motorcyclist should have a shop and the sooner the better since shops support any DIY you care to do. Anon's using a container or trailer feel free to ask for detailed info. Trailers or containers are easy to fit with power and LED lights.
>>28749905>This is gonna sound insulting but did you absolutely thread it in properly and all the way in and not crossthreaded? Check the spark plug wires itself if your bike is carbed then you might need to adjust the fuel.Good point that's no insult since inexperienced Anons may not know to start their plugs by finger then spin them in by hand until they require a wrench. On buried plugs I shove a few inches of automotive fuel hose over the plug insulator to turn them in with.

It doesn't backfire very often, but with this plug it's a tiny bit more frequent.>If the gap where your muffler is clamped to the downpipe is just a sloppy fitThe screws broke off and I couldn't drill them out, it kept on working and it made me louder to the point cagies actually hear me so I let it be>>28749905The radiator got bent about 8 months ago and it's been working well until changing the plug. In the ride I had with the new plug the temp rises but doesn't pass the middle. I've experienced coolant leaks on other bikes and they just keep going up. The issue is really the bottom end, could this be a bottom end bearing issue that's increasing friction?It's been backfiring for a couple of years now, since the last muffler screw broke off. I just find it odd a new plug that makes it start up better without stuttering anymore also makes it backfire more

Aerox amateur fixer here:I have a problem that I think is cylinder pressure.

>>28749880Oh it is a KLR? My first gen (I assume second gens do this as well) doesn't have a thermostat or radiator bypass. Lots of people recommend to add one with one of the thermobob kits avaliable but I think it's a mostly a farkle.Also the radiator is oversized for the engine so it will run cold if you are moving quick.Upside of that is it pretty much won't overheat, still watch your gauge though. My fan has been broken for I don't know how long but it only starts to climb up the temp gauge after ten or so minutes sitting idle.

>>28749314If you need to free a slotted jet, use a round screwdriver bit with a "hollow ground" tip. Then take a Dremel and carefully grind the tip so it looks like )( viewed from the side. The sharp edge grabs the bottom of the slot vs typical garbage screwdriver tips which wipe them. My mentor (RIP) was the only person I've known to use that trick he figured out in the 1950s. The power jet blockoff is there because not every tune requires it. If you consider the jet hopelessly stuck then you could try drilling it with a #60 thru #80 drill bit set (about ten bucks). My carb tool collection got that in the 1980s for de-leaning low speed jets. I turn them using a pin vise or small vise grip. The small drill bit chucks sold for Dremels would be the ony power drill I'd use (and are worth owning_ but before making holes I'd get a new power jet then measure its orifice using the shanks (never measure with flutes) of the drill bit set.
>>28750441Shit happens. That's minor. The manual impact driver was invented before you were born for that sort of thing because it's the only impact which is simultaneously forced into the fastener while turning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lTQxzxNdKhUEveryone fucks up their share of Torx. Also keep in mind Torx Plus exists and if you can download a service manual that may mention which is used. No shame in your learning. The knowledge is FAR more than worth the sacrifice. No one falls out of their mums cunt with a wrench in their hand.>>28750487Having jobs etc is no barrier nor is time. I surmounted both by choosing to. People are far too easily intimidated and often don't realize ALL wrenching is of a life-changing income effectiveness multiplier piece. I'm now a cripple who only gets riding in between surgeries and still wrench effectively though slower than formerly. Key is I take my time and take notes and pics throughout. I've wrenched in dorms, singlewide trailers, rental houses etc without issue. The way I learned to wrench began long before I owned a vehicle. I read constantly and still do. The time people waste unproductively can yield much more fun. Those who read are rarely surprised. >>28750441You can drill the head off then turn the shank if it strips. Take your time and accumulate a decent tool kit. Study make and model-specific fora, Fecesbook etc. Corded drills are dirt cheap and used is fine. Best to persist because once conquered the experience is for life.
I love this feature so god damn much chat.How many other sport bikes have a trunk? Like an actual trunk, not a small slot for your toolbag im talkin a whole ass trunk'
>>28750618Why would you need it on a sportsbike? Wise men say Honda only makes NPC bike for people who don't even like riding
>>28750438You can use a cheap LP torch to burn out the carbon, though oxy-acetylene is quicker since a cutting torch can send extra oxygen downstream.There are plenty of videos which saved me typing. One guy even used a camp fire. Search "burning two stroke exhaust". Rustoleum BBQ black makes excellent exhaust paint.

Anybody else live somewhere with a vad winter? Thinking about getting a snowmobile just to have something to do in the winter. Anybody ride one of these? Does it help scratch the 'bike' itch at all?

>>28750907Don't set my 954RR erection off again, I swear to God I'm gonna end up buying one soon.
>>28751013I garentee you will have actually 0 regrets if you bought a baba blade. I whole heartedly shill the 929/954 because I genuinely believe they're marvelous machines that are exceptional to live with day-to-day.I'll mention that while the 954 has displacement and weight advantage over the 929, the 929 has more dogs in the transmission (1 more) and doesn't feel as "cheap" (I say this loosely) 954 is a min-max 929, which is good but just barely draws over the line of sacrificing some durability in the name of performance. If I had a choice between the two I would pick a 929 and then build out the engine to 954 specs for the best of both worlds. Although the 954 sharp angles looks really cool whereas the 929 has a more timeless Y2K bubble kind of styling.
>>28751020Also parts are cheap as fuck for these fuckers which is always nice
>>28750680get a dual sport and stud the tires
>>28751020I just can't get over how good the 954 looks whilst being just as powerful and lighter than the next gen 1000s. Would love to have a low mileage black/yellow in the garage. But all the ones for sale are high miles because they're obviously so fucking good to ride.

>>28750941rip chomo
>>28751040Miles are no issue if the owner regularly changed the oil and did proper maintenance. These are built to last hundreds of thousands of miles. Whatever you do if you do get one do NOT let people on the fireblade forums gaslight you into thinking weird noises are normal. I'll save you some headache>tapping sound = worn CCT, simply swap the original with the updated CCT >buzzing/clicking sound from down low to the right = HTEV needs adjustment cuz screw backs out over time without loctite >there are 2 important recalls for all 929/954. 1. A fuel line replacement recall due to expansion in extreme heat 2. Shift shaft / clutch basket assembly (only for 929 and early 954s) you can ID if the bike had it done if there's 2 punch marks on the right side of the frame near the frame bolt housing.I did the clutch recall myself and the fuel line was already swapped so now my bike is sorted properly. >pic unrelated
>>28751054>scooter>is Sport bikeThat isn't true because scooters are toys not motorcycles, so no thanks I'm good.
>>28751057>Miles are no issue if the owner regularly changed the oil and did proper maintenance.What's the maximum amount of miles that a motorbike engine can do if it was regularly maintained? How will I know when it's dead?
>>28751057Oh and these bikes do NOT have piston slap, retards just don't put in new shims EVER. It's bananas how many fireblade owners disregard their machines longevity by hand waving irregularities as normal.
>>28751063hey look. it's this meme again!
>>28751054Iirc that is a whole 7 gallons. Deam near crown vic trunk capacity in scooter form. And it keeps your food warm. Don't forget that important detail!
>>28751065Completely depends on the specfic bike in question. Not even blanket statements like "all Japanese bikes" suffice.A 929/954 can easily hit 200k miles. I believe the oldest baba blade on record was 310k miles before the guy got T-boned by a dude who ran a red light. This is as per following the factory service manual maintenance intervals exactly as written.
>>28751063Anything can be a sport bike if you believe enough.
>>28751063One man's toy is another man's work horse.
>>28751071Sorry to be the guy to break it to you, but it's always been that way and always will be that way. Nothing wrong enjoying your toy but me? I'll always pick a motorcycle over a toy respectfully.
>>28751081A work pony, sure.
>>28751085YOU'RE A TOY, FGT.
I had a really close call on the bike yesterday. I think I'm a really safe rider and can generally predict people's actions, but I swear this guy was intentionally trying to hit me - or at least to scare me. I can't talk to my family about it, because they just say "You shouldn't ride that stupid bike", ignoring that the only other option would literally take an extra 3 hours of my life every single day.>Riding down a bike lane, which I know I shouldn't do, but I think I was being pretty safe.>Traffic was completely stationary, and would have been waiting for quite a while because of a road block ahead>Literally right as I go past this car with a cigarette-smoking wog, he spontaneously decides to floor it and try to park on the side of the road>No indicator, and I didn't even see his wheels turn beforehand>The only reason he doesn't hit me is my cat-like reflexes dodging to the side, and even then he misses me by only a couple of inches>I literally had to look down at my leg to see if he had hit me>He says "It was just an accident, don't worry about it. You're fine, your bike is fine, move on.">A Russian guy on another bike right behind me also just tells me to move on, and politely asks the guy to use indicators next timeBut I have to wonder. Who the fuck sits stationary in traffic for a long time, and then spontaneously decides to park on the side of the road? His windows were open, so he would have heard us coming. I can't shake the feeling that he was intentionally trying to hit me. It was bad enough that I'm going to check dashcam videos on YouTube for the next couple of weeks, because I think it might show up.
>>28751085What makes you think a scooter is a toy? They're more utilitarian than any motoGP replica. Most scooters are built for practicality, unlike any sports bike which are built for speed. To me a sports bike is a toy that should be used on the race track.
>>28751090Pull the foot out of your bum and learn how to shift toy rider. Look at this monke, he is happy and thriving because he accepts that his toy is fun to ride to the office that's 10 minutes away. Be like monke, don't be something you're not (a motorcycle)
>4 cyl Kawasaki - Thailand>4 cyl Honda - China>2 cyl Yamaha - JapanI thought you guys said 4 cylinder bikes are better than 2 cylinder bikes? Then explain why the Yamaha is so popular in the States and the other two are popular in Indonesia?
does 4chan have a filter for hiding posts from 3rd worlders?
>>28751078>the specfic bike in questionAll I know is that my Yamaha XMAX has done 85,000 km and I don't know how much longer it'll last. I maintain it, and it seems to run fine, but how will I know when it's dead and need to be replaced?
>>28751094>A Russian guyHow did you know?
>>28751104he looks like he's having fun with his toy
>>28751096So you think that the machine that does everything your toy does but better is actually a toy because you can't fathom speeding on public roads? Sounds like cowardice copium to the T' >utility It's so small and tiny, that's like saying a smart car has more utility than a trucc because it can park in more places. You can't do nearly as much with the former as you can the later. Again ladies, by all means enjoy your toys but the false snark superiority is comically backwards. I admit it is very funny to read this stuff
>>28751108Okay, some guy with a generally Slavic accent and facial features. Thank you for your pedantry.
>>28751111>you can't fathom speeding on public roads?nigga i lose my licence every year because speeding and fuck the police
>>28751104How can you tell if someone's a thirdie?
>>28751106>How will I know its really dead and beyond savingWhen your frame is mega-fucked, internals go bye bye, and/or the block has a hole in it (or your wallet can't justify rebuilding it) >85k VMAXI mean, are you taking care of the bike? Are you doing maintenance as per your factory servicemanual? Has there been anything you've neglected or kicked the can down the road on? Best get to it before it compounds negatively into more disastrous circumstances
>>28751111>It's so small and tiny, that's like saying a smart car has more utility than a truccyou're clueless or memeing because maxi-scooters exist.
>>28751115Ah, so you are coping because you legally can't get one / too dumb to know the right time and place to have fun. Dang dude, what a shame. Hopefully you can get back on the saddle one day without catchin cases.
>>28751122I am clueless on the variants of those toys, yes. It's because I buy motorcycles not toys. Maybe if I have a smol gf that's a noob ill get her one to practice on but that day isn't today
>>28751120>are you taking care of the bike? Are you doing maintenance as per your factory servicemanual?Yes, and yes. The bike has been relatively faultless until recently when I had to change the brake lever switches which I don't think are a consumable part so I'm hoping the bike isn't about to start falling apart now. I've never seen another scooter with so many miles on it before.
>>28751128>I buy motorcycles>Maybe if I have a gf>but that day isn't todayi'm calling you out as a no bike larper because if you really owned a motorbike then you would have a gf
>>28751054Meanwhile my Hondley David-san could fit your entire maxi scoot and even your maxi pads on the back.
>>28751133Oh yeah dude you're doin great then, maybe one of these days go around the whole bike and re-torque all the fasteners (preferably with a torque wrench to spec) they can back out over time due to vibrations, you could go a step above and put orange loctite on every fastener too in order to prevent this. In the far far future you might need new piston rings, shims, crank bearings, etc but your internals like the pistons, rods, crank, etc will be in fantastic shape due to your continued upkeep over the bikes life.
>>28751148May as well be driving a car at this point. You can't even think about filtering on that thing so you're stuck in traffic like the other cars.
>>28751140Do you want bread on bike or will you just take me at my word that the thread image is mine? >no gf therefore nobikeI've just had a lot on my plate so I haven't much room to put myself out there desu I don't really have an excuse past that

>>28751264
>>28751094>moving past sitting cars>not expecting them to moveYou’re not the only one who doesn’t want to be in traffic, you should be expecting them to do this any time traffic is at a stop
>>28751264Get a KLX300 and you can learn both dirt and street, then put new plastics on it and sell it for very little loss and you’ll be able to whip that 400X around easy and won’t ever ride slow because you’re scared of dropping it
>>28751269I do expect it when there's a line of sitting cars and an open lane.But this went:Parked cars -- narrow bike lane -- lane -- laneThe parked cars were in between those kerb cutout things, so it's not like he could have possibly thought he could save time by driving through it.Picrel is roughly where it happened. You wouldn't expect someone to suddenly swerve into that parked lane, surely?
>>28751275I'll be honest, dual sports just don't do anything for me and I feel like I would haver zero motivation to ride one. I'm not looking at any serious dirt riding either. Just some general dirt roads as needed.
>>28751296If I’m passing any vehicle moving slower than me I am covering my brake and obsessively watching their wheelsMaybe it’s because I do a lot of city riding but yes I’m expecting cars do just about anything in traffic that could endanger me I’m not saying that guy is in the right or it was easy to expect but you’re moving in a spot where people aren’t expecting you to be, you should be ready for them to block your path
>>28751264you will be the first anon to get it if you do, i like triumph
>>28751303Learning to ride dirt will make you a much better overall rider, you don’t have to ride it forever, but it will make you a much better and more importantly much safer rider.If you get used to riding in low traction environments you’re less likely to lose your shit if you lose traction for just a moment on the pavement.Also just the general adage of learn on a cheap bike you don’t worry about dropping applies as well

They are just too big and heavy for me, slow in the roads I like to ride, my current rides feel so much betterI also didn't have money for the gas
