>>28788582Uh oh, but here's a question.How does pic related actually work?
>>28788583You push tge left handle bar up towards the sky, then in an anti-clockwise semi-cicular motion to go right
>>28788583This is literally backwards
>>28788588How so?
>>28788588Wrong.
>>28788594Agreed, coming in too hot is just part of being a good rider. What you dont want to do is come in too fast. That would be embarrassing
>>28788583That is what you do when you ride a bicycle. If you think about it too much you will fall on your ass.
Who here can give learner advice on popping the best wheelies?And stoppies, now i think about it
>>28788609Careful if you push up on your bars as it will make you turn the other way
Stop upsetting your suspension.You need to turn corners with your mind.https://youtube.com/shorts/avEtWVDpRm0?si=1q0bJUt0HNfVx5B5
>>28788609It's all abought weight transfer.Getting the front up is easiest with the clutch.Getting the back up is easiest if you get as far forwards as you can.Remember to only practice these on someone else's bike.
>>28788647>only practice these on someone else's bikeKek
Remember ATTGATT fags are the fun police.
>>28788545Whichever. See what works.
>>28788583>How does pic related actually work?It sets up a dynamic instability sending you where you want to go by gyroscopic reaction.
What are we drinking before riding bikeanons?
>>28788807This.Its what the lad said in the last learner thread about creating a wobble.
>>28788601I see we have found the 3rd worlder
>>28788814What? How would you infer that?
>>28788818If I have to explain why your post reads like dogshit then you won't get it thirdy
Going for a spin tomorrow lads. Hope it's dry. Day off all day.
>>28788838Based new years biker
>>28788834You cannot explain it can you. Who is calling whom a third worlder now?
>>28788532Would like a 675 Daytona. Like one, but not love one.
>>28788851Strong learner bike, and an extra 75cc

Sup /dbt/Just bought a new 2024 bike. Made the dealers replace the oil before they shipped it because it was sitting on the sales floor for over a year.Today before my first ride when I went to check the oil I noticed it looked almost foamy after I ran the engine on idle for a few minutes, stopped it, and let it sit for a few more (per the manual this is the way to check the oil through the side view). Is this normal? I haven't seen oil bubble up like this before but then again I'm used to cars. Normally I wouldn't be as on edge but this same dealer also shipped the bike to me with 10 PSI in the front and rear tires so if they fucked up something that simple I'm not sure how much I trust them with this. Thanks frens. BTW the first drive on my own bike was fucking awesome, even if I did kind of freeze my ass off.
>>28788885Yeah
Digits
>>28788888
>>28788888fuck u
>>28788885Dude that looks like ass.Normally "foamy" oil is from being overfilled and being whipped from rotating parts like eggs in a blender.But thats not overfilled.The color looks more like water contamination.
>>28788885Great that you got into the two wheel freedom club.That oil is contained with water so I recommend doing and oil change asap.When you do the oil change check the oil for rust also because if that has been there awhile you new bike might be on its last legs.

>>28788963Confirmed for i was wrong and this is indeed not the chosen mitosis threqd and everyone is going to have a shitty new year wherein their favorite bike just randomly diesUnless you ride a yamaha, in which caseSHOOM ON BROTHER>if you have a yamaha, and you dont reply to this post with; "SHOOM ON BROTHER", youre a insta nobikeNobikeNobikeNobikeNobike
>>28788901>>28788927Fuck that makes me sad.I put about 15 miles on the bike after its first ride today. How fucked do you all think the engine after that?Gonna have to do some research and see if I can find a test or something that will show me how much water is in the oil. Might try to get them to give me an extended warranty out of it. In the mean time I guess I'll change the oil and filter and see if it looks similar on fresh oil.
>>28789000Hahahaha, nobike
>>28789000Nice digits.If you still have contamination that means you have coolant leak somewhere in which case I would say warranty and refund.
The nice thing about being a winter rider is that there are no fat boomers around on Harley’s. I have the roads to myself
>>28789028I ride my harley year round :)
>>28788885Here's another image from this evening. It had this weird haze on the inspection window. It's also cold tonight here but I figured I'd post it.
>>28788995Titmonster rinsa isn't cute
>>28789092Just change the oil bro
>>28789092Seems like you’re just not getting the oil up to temp?This happens a lot with pretty show bike owners who don’t actually ride a lot.
Happy new years, bikebros
>>28789211>>28789092Could be a thermostat thing.The one in my TL1000S opens at 82°C on the dot, even after half an hour on the motorway I can pull up to the lights and see it dip under 80°C, Was an issue with earlier models where the ECU would stay in the cold, rich map and cause issues with oil fuelling. If your area runs even the slightest amount of ethanol in the pump gas this could be where it comes from.

>>28789319Bruh its a relatively rare bike.. Post pics if you got em
>>28789319Kek
>>28789320Also... Keen on the tl1000r but i haven't seen one in years
>>28789320>>28789323The R's pop up locally every now and then in NZ, but they are firmly in the collectors bracket now. There was a tidy one with idk 40k/m and they wanted 12k for it.Picked this S up with 32k/m on the clock for 6k since it already had the ohlins rear damper swapped out. Had one about 15 years ago without, spat me of when the rotary unit fatigued, didn't ride on the road again for another 8 years.I'll try take a nice one tomorrow for you.>>28789322:^)
>>28789340Great view for bouncing off into the ditch, though.
>>28789319Mr swirly is that you again?
>>28789340Based collector
>>28789340cool bikes bro, especially the 250
>>28789463CBR250's were everywhere in Australia at one point, as it was the "standard" learner bike, along with the GPX/GPZ/EX/Ninja 250, back when 250's were a thing. NZ basically have always copied Australia, so got the same bikes.
>>28789306Happy new year anon.
>>28789482jelly, they are unobtanium around here. i only know of one cbr 250 and i've only seen one fzr 250 for sale for way too much moneywe have the same front tire, do you also have the same in the back? not cheap but i like them. am yet to replace the rear, it's 20 year old shinko
>>28789502Oh im not the guy who posted the pic man, but was around when these were everywhere. I never had the CBR, i was a kawasaki/suzuki kid back then, and to be fair, the kawasaki was actually noticeably faster, albeit less desirable. Also, when i say "faster" these things maxed out at like 180kph lol
Are the harbor freight trailer hitch bike carriers any good? they have 15% off any one item and I would rather have a hauler than putting it in the bed of the truck

Alright bros scooter/maxi-scooter vs motorbike vs car for long distances, camping and generalised road tripping?
>>28789507The Kwaka had the higher redline, USD's, but also the stupid 18" rear (on the A model at least), the fake air scoops (on the A model at least, they feed directly to the rectumfryer above the engine) and the timing chain tensioner that had a nasty habit of seizing between 30-60k.>>28789482It was wild before LAMS. When I bought my original TLS at the time, it was cheaper than a lot of the MC22's.
happy new years bros>>28790299sexiest exhaust ever made
>>28790309>maxi-scooterYes.
>>28790309If you want pure comfort and also to have an interesting trip in the elements then maxi scooter.Built in storage is just nice and if you've managed to get a maxi in the states I would imagine its much less likely to get fucked with if you sleep in a hotel on your trips.
>>28790365I kept them from the last one, they were in the mail when I had the off :cNow that I look at it, goddamn those gold wheels were fuckin hot.
>>28788885>>28789092Is the level changing? Do the bubbles go away after it sits? Dose it look like frothy chocolate milk?My bikes oil gets bubbly oil sometimes. They go away after half a minute or so.>>28789211This guy has a point. I have a pickup truck that I dont drive much and make short trips in most of the year. It gets a lot of built up condensation in the engine that you can see on the underside of the oil fill cap. Not a big deal if you change the oil once a year.>Clear cover on a wet clutch.God I hate this trend. They have to be coping that Ducati is moving away from dry clutches.
>>28790448WHen my work downsized from production to skeleton before untimately finishing the offshore move, we had an LPG hoist that would sometimes just see moving in and out of the warehouse every day for a few months.. Turned into 6 months. 12.We had a guy come around to give it a service before appraisal and the oil was milky AF, pretty much wrote the engine off. I just changed the oil and did laps around the carpark for half the day to prove him wrong, BAM an extra 5k into the bosses pocket, none for me.But yeah, if it never gets up to temp and all it does is inhale moisture after every heat cycle that isn't up to temp, there you go.

>>28788532It's been raining, so I took my learner bike (650cc liquid cooled dual sport) to the only nearby dirt/mud/gravel patch. HOLY COW my legs are jello, and I was only down there for 15-20 minutes. I'm going to need a lot of conditioning if I'm going to win overall in the Baja 1000. Also, the ground seems so far away when you're standing up. very scary, but also A TON OF FUN. Breaking the wheel loose is a riot. in a straight line at least. turning is still scaryAnd unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures.
