Ffs. The carb was rebuilt, the mixture screw is all the way in. And this cylinder still runs cooler than the rest. Wtf.
>>28902258Compression?
>>28902258You check the spark plug (lol)
>>28902258Cooler than the rest? It doesn't look like it's running at all lol
>>28902260>>28902265I pulled the plug lead and the idle goes to shit. It's either running rich as fuck or it's got shit ass compression.
>>28902267Time to tradeerrr inAlso, where’s the guy who claims to have a 2005 Road King? I need to see it.
>>28902277>time to trader inLmfaoI need to fix the crf450 and do this with both my bikes in a private sale and be a nobike for a time
>>28902277>tradeerrr inNo. I will rebuild it, no matter the cost.
>>28902221got cut from the US site over the winter, iirc they never even introduced the 2025 modelthe Trail 125 is still there as a 2026 but given that it starts at over $4000 I have to wonder how long it's going to last

>>28902286Wow, based!
Over the last few weeks ive encountered such deranged fucking retards on this website and an every rapidly growing influx of retarded tourist cancerHow much longer does /dbt/ have you guys reckon?
Over the last few weeks I’ve encountered some seriously passionate and creative people on this website, along with a rapidly growing influx of new users bringing fresh energy and ideas (mangos).How much longer do you guys think /dbt/ keeps growing like this?
>>28902292Having been on 4chan for a shamefully long time, it comes and goes, shifting the 'feel' minorly every time it runs through a chapter.
>be me>hear about this mango fellow in tokyo>decide im gonna take my bike and go see him>mid way through shibuya, see wembo rel>realize it isnt a traffic stop, just another homless teenagerWe really need mango plantations for all the homeless youth in japan, preferably before they discover what fentanyl is>>28902303Same but it seems increasingly parabolic ever since gaza blew up and thirdies and shitlibs flocked to this place like bacteris overgrown in a peatri dish

>>28902241Quality OP
>>28902328>Ive become a recluse here, everyones just become a rabid animalistic barbarian of a faggot, probably excessive estrogenThis, and the excessive estrogen is a great way to put it. Too many fragile people today who lose their mind over the dumbest shit. 4chan used to be the only place on the internet to not have to walk on eggshells, but now even the mentally ill demand eggshells.
I leave on my vacation Monday. I hope my bike will miss me as much as I'll miss it
>used to have a bike but sold it a few years back due to general concerns for safety/dying with how bad the average driver is in the U.S>miss riding big time thoughbeit>got a wife and child now which complicates things tooAny fellow 30+ yr old boomers feel this conundrum? How do you handle it? I'm contemplating just getting a light weight dual sport and riding it to trails mostly
>>28902328>>28902397I'm posting this because the active users envy the deactivated. Social media is over. Its architects long entombed by engagement metrics and falling revenue.I watched the efforts of our species dance away on the electromagnetic wires, critical thought retreated by millennia, all of poasting history wrought to dust. Our sites, now gray wastelands of machine generated garbage, serve as a reminder.There can be no victory virtually. Touching grass is the answer to the question of our isolation. With resolute defiance we choose to grasp at the delicate thread of meeting people in person. My son, the gift of survival is yours. Please, may you never hit submit.There can be more.
>>28902449Sucks to be you

>>28902285The XR150 is cheaper and more practical. Can get at least closer to reasonable road speed. I'm not sure what the point of the trail is at that price, besides being neat as hell.
>>28902457Kids?!?! In THIS economy?!?!
>>28902449Yeah, I have kids and I ride 95% trails now.
>>28902474>It wasn't just the helmet
>>28902474>>28902479Indian anon has a gundam helmet too
>>28902449You can have just as much fun, arguably more fun, absolutely thumping on an old slow bike The new XR150L is cool. If I were you, that’s what I would go with. If you’re still enjoying it in a few years, you can sell it for what you paid for it, and upgrade.

No big deal.
havnt ride my rod in a weekI guess its back to the tender
Why don't manufacturers dabble in small CC racing circuits anymore? The things they came up with were wild.
>>28902503>Be me>See Yamaha is in trouble, needs my help>buy a brand new Yamaha R1 off the showroom floor in the spring, year of our Lord, 2020>single-handedly save Yamaha from bankruptcy>all in a days work, no big deal The Harley-Yamaha bond is stronger than ever, bros
>>28902488I am pretty tall so honestly the short seat height bikes seem less than ideal ergonomically. But besides that the xr150l looks ballpark what id consider Was also eyeing the new Yamaha wr125r
>>28902593>wr125Even better. Honestly forgot they announced that. At your age and having been out of the game, but knowing just enough to be dangerous, you’re the most at-risk rider there is in the road.WR125 could be easily set up for a taller rider with bar risers and a taller seat. Might get one myself if my current Yamaha ever dies (it won’t).
>>28902602Yeah never did anything too stupid when I did ride but I'd definitely come back feeling less sharp overall which is the biggest riskUsed to have a KLR650 so never got myself into any real danger on that pig, just some abandoned parking lot wheelies with some homies and a couple casual group rides.Appreciate the thoughts anon. I like your bike, has some real nuts to it
do I want KLX1100RL?

>>28902617Nice harley bro
>>28902617Had something similar happen just a hour ago at the McDonald's I stopped by>Pull next to some sort of minivan>Dude with kids in both hands walking towards the minivan>Kid points at my bike and goes "dad look a harley">Dude pauses for a second to stare at my bike and goes>"Wait, that isn't a harley, what is that thing, an old BMW of some sort?">Told him it's an old Soviet IMZ Ural, almost like a BMW, but betterChatted for a moment or two with the dude, he mentioned that every bike ever is a harley to his kids, even though he rides a suzuki intruder, which is also a harley
>>28902612I appreciate the kind words. It’s a 1986 Yamaha XT350. They were produced from 1985-2000. Street legal version of the Yamaha TT350. Super awesome bikes, dead nuts reliable, kick start only. Highly recommend, if you can find one. Might have to get the carbs cleaned once if it’s been sitting, but so long as you never let them get gunked up again you’ll be set. It’s just fast enough to cruise in the middle lane on the interstate, but capable enough for any single track or trail. Honestly, you’d probably be alright with it if you’re mechanically inclined, because you will be spending time wrenching on it, where you probably wouldn’t on a brand new WR125. Old bikes bring old bike problems, doesn’t matter the brand. These dual sports and enduros are almost always dogged out the moment they leave the showroom, so going with something brand new makes good sense.
>>28902642>Yamaha XT350Unrelated note, but since you like that bike, there's an Ameriboo youtuber in England, Freddie Dobbs, that bought one and is learning to wrench on his. It's pretty entertaining to watch, because so far he's leaving in all the fuck ups. Nice highs and lows.
>>28902652>highs and lowsIt be like that sometimes with these old machines.
>>28902474>red comet dick ridingWhy is japan so obsessed with char? The guy spent three entire series as nothing but a petulant jobber getting his ass kicked.
>>28902663>petulant jobberTends to happen when you don't have the shonen protag plot armor but you still have to be the engine for the narrative.
>>28902661Bro...is that a FAMAS?
>>28902663You sound like an earth federation sympathizer. Gross
>>28902669>bajeenafug :DD
>>28902529See >>28902503 and note the irrecoverable fall off after the 2008 crisis. Young people don't have the disposable income to spend on expensive frivolities anymore. Racing, like every other extreme sport, was propped up by young people spending. Now, it's only old men and the rich, which is why every race series and track is desperately trying to turn themselves into a luxury experience and ignoring the mass market. I know the average age of people on this board puts them as children during the pre-2008 years, but it's really hard to overstate just how fucking rotted everything has been since then. It's the reason why the kids are all stuck in their phones and obsessed with social media these days, it's all they can really afford.
>>28902672>federation sympathizerThe Titans were morally correct.>>28902669>implying that he doesn't get even more plot armor than amuro
>>28902503THANKS YAMAHAYOU'RE THE BEST
>>28902686>even more plot armorTerribly insensitive way to refer to Sune, anon. Have some class.
>>28902387How do you clean these fragile top boxes without spraying them with a pressure washer
>>28902449I ride when nobody is on the road. That's my general rule of thumb: If I'm ever going to be on the road during any peak hour or on any peak/congested road, I take a car. Pussy? Yeah, but I think that's the minimum amount of caution you can take in the tard land that has become the USA with all of the brownness that gets free drivers licenses if they're upright and breathing.
>>28902640the suzuki intuder and the ural are also based afi don't hate harley motorcycles i just hate the company

>>28902756Possibly the greatest racing motorcycle, IN THE WORLD.Essential for any ultimate garage.
>>28902451I mean, thats nice and all, but grqss is only available to me maybe 4 or 5 months a year because the oblast is a hellscape of desolationBut at least the snow is also melting
>>28902455More like CHUB pill
>>28902503The of i4 mid displacement bikes is over for better or worse. You will not get the same peak horsepower but you wilm get more torque.

>>28902882>rolling up to the spot with the PKM and a fresh belt of 54r strapped to the back of the hoopty bike
>think about joining the retro British roadster hype 10 years late>Boneville t100 is just tiny little bit cheaper than t120 but t120 has cruise control included so it's even less of a differenceDo the 900's only exist to draw people's attention in until they decide to fork more for 1200's?
>>28902804it makes over 120hp with just a Yoshimura cumshaft
>>28902882>>28902898I love PKMs
talk me out of a cbr650r.it seems like it ticks all the boxes i want. inline 4 is cool. i've never had a high revving bike so that's kinda slick. more relaxed seating position than other sport bikes while keeping the aesthetic. eclutch is pretty fuckin cool for brainless cruise. what's the downside?
>>28902449>>28902593>I'm contemplating just getting a light weight dual sport and riding it to trails mostly>I am pretty talli got a wr250r for just under 4k a couple months ago. i'm 5'10" and it's pretty tall. as in, i wouldn't be upset if it was a little shorter. i'm in a similar age bracket, similar mindset. most of what i do is ripping around in the woods and the wr does what i want, but admittedly i wish it was a bit more powerful. which is why i'd be hesitant to pick the wr125r. the wr250r requires you to wring it out on hill climbs and stuff. i also have ridden my friend's drz 400SM. it's a bit heavier but honestly it's pretty similar. that's a really low bike but i imagine the one with dirt tires is still a good height. and supermoto is a lot of fun. i've been thinking about picking up a set of street wheels and swapping around.anyway, tl;dr look into a wr250r or a drz. downside with the wr250r is they quit making them like 6 years ago so you have to be cognizant of long term support. aftermarket for DRZ is going to be better. but both are great. if i had a drz instead of a wr i think i would be just as happy with it. just keep an eye on both around your area.
>>28902756>APX-350MA>350cc single cylinderRIP the nerves in those kid's hands. That KTM engine is a fucking paint shaker.
>>28902927Appreciate the thoughts anon.Whereabouts do you live and how are the trails near you? Interesting unplated(?) little bike with you there tooYears ago before I got my KLR I was really considering a wr250r and somewhat regret not going for it
>>28902920>what's the downside?If it's your only transport then it's a bad choice. If you also have car and a comfy seater then you can get this one, it does not matter.
>>28902961south louisiana. we've got kisatchie which is a big ass national forest, and lots of land people use for hunting and what not. it's more flat than i'd like. i've got friends with some land out in texas they hunt on and i'll go out there a couple times a year. the unplated bike is a little 125cc chinese pit bike my friend has. fun to goof around on but really no comparison. i think you'd be a little underwhelmed with a 300 pound wr125r with 15 hp. i was also looking at the klx300 and crf300l. it's been a blast though, i'm happy with the wr. being able to ride to the trails in the morning, fuck around then ride home is really nice. plus the used market is so good, you could probably pick one up and if it isn't what you expected, turn around and sell it for basically the same price. do it, big dog.
idk how the fuck I make a drz look so small
also fml tennys forks are leaking and it needs a new rear tire already
>>28902260It's dry, fuck
>>28902716What's the deal with Shoei. Was the anon a few threads ago ranting about them not selling 22.06 helmets in the US on to something, or was he just schizo ranting? Also, is the helmet quiet? I'm really thinking about getting the RX-78-2 version.
>>28903181Ope.Time to check the carb bowl.>>28903079Sometimes bikes be small
>>28903201Idk. I just like gundam and shoei. So figured why not
>>28903210It's really not thoughBetween the springs, the position I run my forks in the triples and fatty profile front tire the seat height on mine is about 39"
also found several loose spokes on the T7s front wheel Now I'm unsure if a CRF450 wheel can handle this kind of load or if I just did a crap job when I built the wheelfugg
>>28903218Maybe you're just a big bugger.
>>28903210Are you shoomer's brother?
>>28903226I think it's the gopro doing weird shit
>>28903201Also, I half read this cuz in lame. Its super quiet. I have tinnitus in my right ear and a lot of helmets remind me of it. But this ones not too bad. Doesn't have airflow like the gt air obviously. But so far so good
Hmmmm.
i want this wrap
I had always assumed that the dislike for motorcycles, and the outright hate for cyclists, was a uniquely North American phenomenon. However, reading JP language motorcycle/scooter twitter has basically revealed that there have been a growing number of vehicles growing angry at people on 2 wheels either going too fast or not fast enough, and intentionally cutting them off like pic related. And also apparently the chugaku region, Okayama in particular, don't use blinkers.It has me curious what are the local driving eccentricies of other countries. I know someone from Poland mentioned the wire decapitation meme earlier, but what else is there?
>>28903372>but what else is there?Anywhere in the US they will actively try to kill you since their only experience with bikes is being "cut in line" by a motorcycle rider. They assume you will take their place in queue and preemptively try to kill you to prevent it.
>>28903373>They assume you will take their place in queue and preemptively try to kill you to prevent it.Murder seems counterintuitive to avoiding delays.
>>28903373You're trying too hard
>>28903376>delaysThey just drive away >>28903378>trying too hardI have a bike
got my 3rd world bike. ill share pic if 4chan allows me to
>>28902449>sold it a few years back due to general concerns for safety/dyingIt's over for you. Sorry bro. You're simply not that guy anymore. And this isn't Hollywood or some anime where just the right calamity comes through your life to instantly change your demeanor and make you badass and reckless. You've become a pussy and you're never going to feel okay with riding again.>>28902451Most enlightened poster itt>>28902547BRUTHERR
What does /o/ think of the grom?
>>28903408>more harley posting Yay
>>28903413had one, it was a fun little toy but above 60km/h it started to feel really slow. the 2L/100km was pretty neat (117mpg)i had mine upto like 101km/h and it was shaking, short wheelbase isn't really designed for those speeds
>>28903413I don't really understand the appeal.
>>28903295You'll never be able to make a runner with it looking like that.>In pursuit of a white motorcycle with pink wheelsEven months later. Like a bullseye.
>>28903372The cagies are jealous of us on so many levels.Australia I noticed a lot more hate towards all 2 wheeled vehicles. People will tail gate and pass as close as they can to you. They act like murderous psychos, I noticed that it goes tesla drivers, Mothers with SUVs then P platers with fucking lifted utes that have hands soo soft you could mistake them for women hands.I can't not wait for us to be on fuel rations and for them to be forced into our world. There will be no forgiveness.
>>28903372There are *some* cagers who have an irrational hatred of motorcycles and will turn on their windshield washers when they see a bike behind them but these cretins are rare. Most motorists will move over and let me filter through when they see me coming.
>filter in a traffic jam>A cunt in mercedes noticed and opens the doors so I have to stopHe got where he wanted to go approximately 0 seconds faster thanks to that move.
>>28903468Did you swear at him?
>>28903413It's the bike version of the miata. Not much else to say.
>>28903468aren’t you obligated to smash his mirror in this situation?
>>28903468Should have had a chain and drag them like a trophy kill between the cars. In Minecraft
>>28903468your fault for not riding on the side walk past the traffic jam.
>>28903477If it's really crawling, I have and will stop, get off and rap on his window for a chat until he eventually pussies out and keeps inching forwards. Far more emasculating, like giving someone a thumbs down instead of the fingers.Smashing the mirror only serves to justify their impotence and makes it worse for the next guy, IMO. As much as I would rather smash their teeth.
>>28903489Let me guess; you ride a Harley and wear a Jim Beam tee-shirt under your studded leather jacket.
>>28903504Lol I hope you understand the irony in your insecurity.
>>28903507you seem perturbed. have i touched a nerve?
>>28903508Yes, the funny nerve. What if I rode a Harley, wore a Jim Beam shirt and a studded leather jacket? Would I fit your prejudice against me opinion for emasculating cagie ragie? Your projection? But no, you will either move the goalposts or deflect. Thumbs down.
>>28903512lol wut? dude i'm just trying to figure out what kind of bike you ride and you sound like the sort of person who rides a harley. am i right or not?
>>28903513>the sort of person who rides a harleyRighteous.
>>28903413Great for stunts. That's about it.
>>28903413Great for manlets with stunted growth. That's about it.
Is the zx4r cucked?
How come this is the most comfortable motorcycle saddle I've ever sat my ass on?It's just a piece of rubber stretched over 2 metal bars and a rubber block on the underside to cushion the metal bars against the frame.Only bike I've ever riden where my ass isn't sore after a couple of hundred kilometres, I can ride through the whole day without feeling sore anywhere.The seat on my Guzzi was plush and nice, but after a while my tailbone/lower back started to ache and I had to get off the bike for a while.
>>28903413It's cool but I rather have the CUBs
>>28902449I took some time off and then got back into riding. Now in my 40s. Just be smart and have a plan so your wife dose not freak out. Not saying ask permission or anything like that.>I'm contemplating just getting a light weight dual sport and riding it to trails mostlyProbably a good Idea.>>28903408>You're simply not that guy anymore.Most of us cant make money posting highway pulls and running from the cops so yeah we need a real job.

>>28902503Fuck yea, R7 is fun, i dislike that the new one lost the side panel indicators, the TST kit for them is nice looking. >>28903534Its a interesting bike, i kinda want to get it after selling my R7
The R7 is pretty cucked desupaying 12k for a parallel twin is crazy
>>28903520I made this edit so long ago now, I’m glad you still use it
>>28903565they really aremy step dad bought one new in 56, parked it at the barn in 66 with some carb issues, they where notorious for that, then my brothers and i got our hands at it in 82 before my brother sold it off in mid 00 somewhereMy first "bike" was a Suzuki ZR 50 that i bought when i was 16 and it`s the only brand i`ve owned since, currently on a my third busa, but that little Tempo still have a sweet spot in my head
>>28903520what's righteous about riding a harley?
Why dont they make a 400cc roadster cub?
>>28903608The torque will twist the chasis, coming off the line.But seriously, probably no one would buy it because social media tells them to buy the big liter bikes instead of what they might actually enjoy.
>>28903608as cool as this lookwhy not just buy some jeet 650 or whatever normal roadster at that point?
Do I get a honda cb650r? I see a bunch of indians like it and that makes me hate the bike.
>>28903624it has a shitty engine:unlike a cp2 it has no torqueunlike a zx4r it doesn't rev highunlike a fz6 it's not refined or fun to rideIt is a shit-bike for pajeets and indonesians, they're the main markets for a reason
>>28903632Naked bike suggestions other than the mt07? Mt07 was what I was originally looking at
>>28903573In Japan it is a 6.2k dollar bike, blame your orange retard or Nixon or whoever made it this way.
>>28903634mt-09
>>28903624I rather get Honda 750 lineup with their new 755cc cp2 clone slops like hornet or transalp Or go with superfour They are making a new one
>>28903640>They are making a new oneyeah in China, for China Japan will get a 400, and the rest of the world will get none
