You’re revmatching your tendies, right anon?
test
>>28914952that's pretty based
Last thread died so posting again.Anons, if I sell my 2012 883 Iron Harley, how much should I ask?Mechanically speaking- it’s fine. Starts, runs, drives, shifts fine. I just never drive it. It’s got ape hangers, screaming eagle exhaust kit, needs a new front tire, and the rear breaks probably need replacing cause they just don’t work. It’s got about 10k miles.Thinking about putting in the ad “will trade for chopper.”
>>28914966bout treefiddy
>>28914951The problem is the contols. Twin stick isn't too far off from simulating sttering wheel + throttle/brake, and shoulder buttons can do an automatic, or even a manual if you ditch the analog nature of a clutch.But on a bike, you've got steering + lean, and a wet clutch needs to be fucking analog (maybe sports bikes only do dry clutches, not my lane). And then you've got throttle plus 2 sets of brakes with different effects on the bikes handling. There's not enough analog controls and you wouldn't have enough fingers anyway.And then how do you satisfy the sim autists who want an actual real vontrol set?
>>28914966$2000. Don't trade for a fucking chopper. Just see how much its going for in your area on craigslist or something. See what IDV for your bike is, don't ever take less than that.
>>28914952Looks cool desu.

I love it so much
>>28914950Twist and go….
ok sorry anons i have a stupid question: hipotetically speaking i decide to do a multi day trip across the TET and i'm a really cool dude and i hit puddles and mud like a pro and get all my bags pants and boots caked in mud. once i reach the point i want to eat something hot or it's end of the day and i need to reach where to sleep wtf do i do? ask them to hose me down a bit in the middle of the road/parking lot?And if i'm not a pro and i'm a bit of a disgrace for all the offroad riders out there and slip in said puddles and mud and like become a proper mess and i'm seriously caked in it?
>>28914946Based!!
>>28915087Road 6
>>28915143Fuckin said it in my head, you insidious cunt.
>>28915136Since you are a rich fag, stay at the closest Hilton. Carry a garbage bag with you, put your muddy gear in the garbage bag and take it to your hotel room. You can change right in their parking lot. The next day, you wear the same muddy gear.
>>28914938>Motorcycle PicsI miss the old CR500AF. I made the tips of my fingers go numb sometimes from the vibration, but it was was experience to ride for sure.
>>28914938>>scooters aren't bikesSHIT THREAD NOT POSTING MY BAIK
>>28915164Kek. I had a CR500 for about 2 months in 1998. Probably only hit WOT half a dozen times, would bring it with my XR400 just for posture and the odd 'If you can kickstart it, you can ride it' challenge. Sold it after I was called out, the angry bitch kicked so hard on my me it blew a fucking hole in my gumboot and sprained my ankle.When man can chuck on a swann-dri, stubbies and gumboots to ride their bike, but it almost kills them on the sidestand, is it still a bike?
>>28915147>Since you are a rich faganon i'm poor as fuck i was gonna stay in the shittiest motels and just eat sandwiches and one hot meal at the end of the day, i just don't want to leave dirt behind me it would be rude to the owners and wagies working there.
>>28915166>'If you can kickstart it, you can ride it'Sit on bike, turn on gas and choke, click tranny to second gear, push-pull bike forward and back about 4 times (moves cylinder up and down drawing in fresh air/fuel, shift to neutral, press kick starter down slowly to find TDC, bleed off a little pressure, kick quickly and it starts easily. No need to try and kick full compression. If it does not start on first cycle, just repeat. You can start it very easily and quickly with that routine. I learned to race MX on that bike. Once in a while I hit sharp bump and flicked the throttle accidently and the power would just explode.
>>28915147If don't want to add dirt to parkinglot, do it at the side of the road near the motel where there is dirt. Don't worry about dirt in hotel room as it will be inside a garbage bag. I would try to air my gear out, but I'm leaving that as a task for you to figure out.
>>28915170>>28915173 This reply was for you.
>>28915171That's the kicker. I've even had people try to kick-start my XR400 and just about launch themselves over the bars, "It's seized?!".The throttle control is what got me. Having a small bomb at your beck and call is all well and good, but my muscle memory had been 4t for 20 years. A nice gentle, linear curve. Cresting a root system just as the band hits?
>>28915143Seriously why the fuck would you ruin a bike like that with touring tires?
Hello frens. Looking forward to a nice comfy day of riding and going to a bike night this evening. Also, obx starts its lame bike week this weekend. Might ride down and watch guys get their bikes scratched at the bikini binge wash

>>28915177They are the best wet weather tyres right? Also, good enough in summer for the streets. It lets you spend less and more time on road. I see goat6 as a win desu senpai.
>>28915234Hello Ural kun, is it summer there yet? I'm melting from the summer heat over hear.
The state of DBT, I don't even get called a wrenchlet. Whats wrong with my front brakes brothers? It's gripping, releasing, gripping, releasing, looks like I'm headbanging when coming to a stop at an intersection? It's not ABS, it doesnt look like there's any crookedness on the brake discs and I haven't spilled oil on the discs. It's less noticeable at higher speed and there's no vibrating\pulsing in the brake lever. AAAaaaaaaaaa
>>28915246only a little warping of the disc causes large changes. how did you rule out the disc? could also be your wheel, i once had badly installed bicycle front wheel which would wobble when loaded with brakes, this might be similar>>28915228riding in the snow is a pleasure as long as theyve salted the road. very serene. >>28914659very enlightened, all groups of people with any kind of shared interest are the same>>28914928i cannot believe people are telling you to get 2k for this bike, what a fundamentally ass marketa 15 year old machine with NO REAR BRAKES you should be made to pay someone to take this off your hands

Once you go Yamaha you never go back, haha.
>>28914951I remember bikes in TDU 2006 it only had 9 bikes and 124 cars
>>28914986indeed with the controls you normally use for racing games driving bikes doesn't feel that exciting while cars somehow doesbikes can be quite fun in something like gta since you get to fuck about and do things you'd be crazy to do irl on your bikenot that I've played gta in the past 15 years or so
>>28915236they're awesome tires, dont listen to that moronnice bike
>>28915246you have patchy deposits of brake pad material on the rotors, that you wouldn't be able to see. this causes low speed bike lurch (headbanging)at higher speeds it smooths out the brake lever isnt pulsing because the rotor isn’t physically warpedthe pads could have got overheated at some point, or when they were new pads they weren’t bedded in properly or the bike sat for a whileto fix it you either need new pads and rotors and bed the new pads properly...or you can try to lightly sand the rotors (scotch-brite or fine emery), then clean with brake cleaneron a flat surface, lay some sand paper down flat and scrub each brake pad on top to get rid of the glaze

>>28915246Put your front wheel in the airLoosen the axle nut, pinch bolts, caliper mounting bolts, and the front fender bolts.Bounce the front end on the ground a couple times to realign the components.Spin the front tire then clasp the front brake over and over.Torque pinch bolts to hold axleTorque axle boltTorque calipersTorque fender bolt.If its still being weird, try grabbing the front brake lever and keep it held with a zip tie. Leave the zip tie on overnight and take it off in the morning. Your brakes should feel perfect, if they're significantly better then you have air in your brake system if it doesn't then you have a leak somewhere. Lastly try some compressed air and blow out the brake pads and the floating bushings on your disc rotor (assuming they're floating disc's) Could also just be a misaligned brake pad support bracket, the tiny metal thing that comes with brake pads.
Has anyone ever seen a type of gague cluster where the circuit board (more like a flimsy green plastic sheet with copper lines from the clip to the gagues) clips directly into the wire harness clip? Now as I try to remove the clip it comes off of the post but the whole circuit board is stuck into the clip and I don't want to rip it. What do I do?

Got a beater Yamaha xv250 that suddenly doesn't want to shift well into first gear from 2nd and vice versa. Above that, it shifts fine. Revving to crank the engine and gently disengaging the clutch, the bike sometimes "clicks" into the gear with a delay.How fucked is it?What do?Would an oil change help in case its sludge? Been only about 2k miles (less than service interval) but 2.5 years.
>>28914966Why would you trade for a chopper instead of making your bike a chopper? Like nigga it's a sporty. They make everything you could ever need for anything for those. Why not build your own? I get that it takes time and tools and effort but that's what makes choppers cool. Because if it were easy there'd be more of them.Then again you said "rear breaks" so I guess it's just not in the cards for you.
>>28915403heated liners under an occunomix high vis winter suit, hippo hands over the barsthis keeps you warm and riding down to 0F in my experiencecolder than that is very rare where i live, I think -4F was the absolute minimum this last winter
>>28915374No clue what to do and a new one is unobtanium. Honestly, the only gague I care about is the temp gague. Should I just slap in an aftermarket temp gague instead and not even worry about this?
>>28915459spray some "electrical contact cleaner" down each hole a wire goes intois there a locking tab on the other side?
>>28915466The tab comes free. The clip wants to come off but the sheet itself is stuck in there. I have contact cleaner, would wd40 help or hurt?
>>28915343The more a jewtuber relies on monetization, the less reliable they become. Lastest fortnine vid is openly shilling chinkshit, while sponsored by what appears to be Honey 2: scamboogaloo. Contrasting this with the actual soul and clever artistic direction they had pre-covid(see: versys-x 300 review) and it's sad.>>28915345You're god damn right.
>>28915471>but the sheet itself is stuck in there.but the pins* are stuck in there. the pins stay attached to the circuit board.if you have the locking tab unlocked, gently move the connector side to side, back and forth, and try to wiggle it freewd40 leaves an oil residue, which you dont want on something that needs to make electrical contact.wd40, the brand, makes electrical contact cleaner though... so does crc, you can buy it from any car parts store
>>28915474that's a sweet bike
its hot out thereonly 200miles on this pig, but you can laugh at my at my parmesan garlic chicken tenders if you want, i'll lean it over one day.
Its finally warm out but its raining all the time now, very annoying. Been trying to come up with cool ideas or things to do while riding such as cool destinations, meet ups, etc. instead of just racing down country roads. Any recommendations of what to do or how to find stuff?
>>28915459Is the bike new enough to have ODB2?
>>28915474The fortnine video was like whiplash because I distinctively remembered Ryan taking a firm stance against China in his Honda 4 S' video. Authoritarian regimes will never reward or make insenstives to push out anything of quality because those systems only reward volume and turnaround times. You don't have autonomy to speak up out of line to correct a qualilty control error because in those societies you will face punishments that last long outside the workspace. I was very disappointed in Ryan about the China bike video. It's like he threw his spine away entirely. Yammienoob is a nu-slop enjoyer so there's no suprise there that he's a sucker but to be so clueless about the malignant quality attached to chink bikes is just foolish if not outright nefarious. Fuck the ChineseFuck the chinashillsFuck the broke posers who buy chink shitFuck the waterholders who think if we just give em a chance-! Engineering integrity is a product of the free world, not Authoritarianism.>free world as in Europe, Japan, USA, Germany, etc
>>28915438Cute harley
>>28915435You mean the oil hasn't been changed in 2.5 years?
>>28915474>>28915526Ever notice they shill chinese bikes that are slightly worse and cost slightly less than established brand beginner bikes but act like these are somehow cutting edge. I noticed that a LOT with the 450mt but I hardly see anyone who kept one nor anyone still shilling them.
>>28915435Def change the oil before you go looking for other problems.What you are describing could be caused by the clutch dragging, which could happen from old oil. Even though you don't have a lot of miles, it's been in there evaporating and collecting condensed water that hasn't had a chance to evaporate out because the bike doesn't spend a lot of time with the oil hot.Also it would suck if you spent time chasing a problem that turned out to be oil.Put some Rotella in it.
>>28915526>Engineering integrity is a product of the free world, not Authoritarianism.You're angrily agreeing with him. He liked the bike, in so far as he appreciated what Kove had done in bringing a late 2000s dakar race bike to market, but he still called out the lying about the 800's weight, everything they left off the bike relative to other mid size offerings, the frame longevity issues, the cam problems (which are technically KTMs but Kove made their bed so now they get to sleep in it), and the unavoidable contradiction in selling a Dakar race bike as a travel bike. Shit man, he spends the last chunk of that video explaining how he thinks China is running out of runway regarding trying to undercut their competitors who are already using Chinese parts assembled in countries with cheaper labor costs than some CN factories.What else do you want? Him mugging at the camera while "china bad" blinks in bold red text above him?
>>28915474I didn't think it was all that positive. Mostly about how Chang made some poorly thought out decisions (and lied about the weight.)
>>28915498I have the same problems, riding with other people is fun if you have the same "spirit" otherwise it just becomes racing down the streets with other people and at that point might as well do it alone at your own pace.I like to try scout some scenic views or weird places but it's been a bit since i've been out sightseeking with the camera, i saw there is a sherman tank in a nearby town and i always tell myself i shoul go take a pic of 'ku in front of it (even if it's on a pedestrian pass in a not so scenic place) for starters since they are both green.i remember a chain of posts some time ago where some anons where like posting their bike in front of a lighthouse or a boat and others anons where doing the same. that could be a fun thing to try do.i also technically downloaded the geocache app thingy and i was thinking of trying that too just to go in unusual places but i never tried it
>>28915561Was it this?
>>28915554>>28915552>Lied about weightThis is the 4th time I have seen this and people swept it with the 450ss, 450mt, and 675ss. The 675ss eventually corrected and stoped marketing as 400lb when it is 20lb heavier. These are all 20 to 50 lb heavier than they initially market.
>>28915561I will only ride with people I date.
>>28915569no it just happend organically, someone posted a picture writing lighthouse and other anons responded with similar pics,it wasn't organized like that. i remember the same happend again with boats, one of those anons was the guy with the zombie honda pcx!

Are we back??>>28915327>do you know what you got?If knowing what I got means settling for $3,200- then yes, I do.>>28915438>instead of making your bike a chopper>Why not build your own?Yeah, no like I get that; but my thing is like if I can look on marketplace and find a sweet little chopper for say 5 or 6 grand- maybe even one with a kick starter (I’ve had dirt bikes, I love kickers). It doesn’t make a whole lot of sense if I can sell my bike for 3k, then turn around and buy one outright for say 5k. Plus at the end of the day, I simply don’t have the mechanical knowledge to do it on my own. I mean we’re talking->taking the engine out along with basically everything else>chopping and welding the frame>paint>new tires and wheels>new forks>new seat>new tank>new fenderThat’s at least everything I’d wanna do to mine. Even if I had someone to help me, you’re still talking more than it’d be to just sell mine and put a little more towards one already done.
>>28915572I can't speak to the others, but yeah, the 450mt was astroturfed fucking HARD. So many youtube people calling a fucking 450 twin a "forever" bike just to sell it 12 months later. Because I have to make content, you know? And who really ever would keep their favorite bike of all time?
>>28915410Cute!
>>28915584apparently it's some kind of "good boy trajectory marker" to make sure bikers don't ride too close to the center so that when they lean they don't risk getting hit by a car or bus coming the other way on narrow, some european countries starting placing them on some dangerous turns
Rebel300 has the sloppiest front suspension and idk if it is warn out but now this just reminding me more that I should have gotted the cb300r I test road that had a similar feeling.
>>28914952great paintjob
>>28915550The condensation bit makes a lot of sense - after about 40 mins of street speeds yesterday I did notice the shifts got better (not ideal though). I chalked it up to the oil heating up and becoming less viscous. Bike had to spend the winter in an unheated shed.Before I get the new oil (and filter, depending on how dirty the oil looks), would taking it for a ride, and then, when parking, removing the oil cap and covering the hole with a cloth help boil off some of the condendsate out of the crank case, or is that just placebo?>diesel oilUnfortunately don't own the ex army diesel bike lol
>>28915479I got it! It was a lot sturdier than I thought it was. Now, I need to test the gagues to see if they work. I tried asking a couple shops even a computer shop but no one knows what to do. I assume I need to somehow hook up a power source to each pin?
>>28915552He played softball bro, if you think I'm irrational for finding his video cringe then maybe you're just a Chang glazer. Matter of fact, why bother with the video at all if he was staunchly against the Chinese brands? Where was all his energy from the Honda Video? I was disappointed in Ryan/F9. It wouldn't suprise me if he shills that chink V4 when it's out.>Guys the cams may turn to cheese but if you just do a heckin oil change then it totally resolves this inherit design flaw >Guys so, it seems the Chinese lied but I'm going to entertain all of the okay aspects anywayRyan's a smart dude, so it's bewildering to see his intellect in such a dormant if not timid state of chink shilling. Does he have no principles or just not courageous enough to G check the Chinese / Sucka ass consumers who push CFmoto/insert chink brand here.
Gentlemen i am pleased to announce that we are so fucking backMy KLR sprang a hell of a leak from the gas tank, so I spent the downtime rebuilding the carb and getting the airbox all back to stock parts.

>>28915611Honda gave you a damper-rod fork instead of cartridge forks because everyone (except KTM) shits on the newbies. Damper rods have fixed metering holes, and fixed holes are soft at slow speed but harsh at high speed. So they make it too soft to prevent dive and slop but at least it won't skate out from under you when there's bumps or ripples in a corner.You can get a cartridge emulator, which adds a spring-loaded flat valve for compression. Which works better then you would think. Sometimes you can fit the cartridge or fork tubes or the entire front end from a different bike, but that tends to be pricey.Super cheap option is thicker oil in the forks, and live with harsh suspension over bumps. But that kinda sucks.I have emulators in my sv650, was worth it.

I parked my bike (scooters are bikes) in a car parking space when spaces were limited. Take that, Karen!

>>28915343You have to sell your soul to be a motorcycle content creator. You ether constantly break the law and sell merch while e-beging. Or you shill for brands and never say anything bad ever about them under threat of losing access to test rides and press events. All while being a whore to the YT algorithm.I'm also convinced riding all those review bikes curses them to a life of never being fully satisfied with any bike they ride for life.

>>28915865Depends how single I am.Think fast, would you choose a ptwin that meets your wants or a single woth mods that meets your needs?
>>28915882single because never piss twin
>>28915726This angers the suburban utility vehicle.
>>28915474I don't mind if they want to shill chink shit But I hate how obvious they do 180 the moment they stop getting paid
>>28915887>Depends how single I amTurns out very. Not that thats a bad thing.
Commuting is getting to be a bit tiring on her. Thinking of going to the new Hypermotard.
>>28915902Based Beyond Belief.
>>28915935>commuting on a track toyWhy did you think was a good idea?
>>28915944I wanted it. So I did it. I did not think.
>>28915726How nice to live somewhere where this isn't the only option. I am simply forced to accept people keying an already scratched fairing.
>>28915950Understandable. Your bike looks like it would be amazing fun on a track. I'm debating whether to get a track toy or a cruiser, but I'm in my 50s so I'll probably just get the cruiser and slow down in my old age.
>>28915655>He played softball bro, if you think I'm irrational for finding his video cringe then maybe you're just a Chang glazer.So yes, then. Flashing red text it is.
>>28915955Why not both?Take your cruiser to the track.
>>28915958So everyone can point and laugh at the old dude chasing lap times on a cruiser? Yea nah I'm good thanx.
>>28915951Are you not allowed to park on the sidewalk? Or is there simply no sidewalk to park on?The only place we can't park on the sidewalk is in the CDB but they've given us allocated motorcycle parking spaces.
>>28915955It is amazingly fun, but then a lighter bike like the new Pani V2 or the Hyper would be more fun desu. The V4 is big and heavy and all about the engine especially when all the tracks near me a fairly tight and twisty.
>>28915724yeah plenty of people do, shes an instagram """model""" with 500k followers, retard
>>28915967>The V4 is big and heavyYou're a big guy so I'm sure you can handle it. How many times have you nearly died while commuting on it?
>>28915972None, chucking it in street mode limits the power to 150 and it's quite sedate.It can be a bit annoying to lane filter with it due to the limited steering.My last bike was an MT09 so it was a bit of a change.
>>28915975How long did it take you to realise that swapping the MT09 for the Ducati (for commuting) was an error in judgement?
>>28915689>You have the best base for a 1250 bored out chopper build, sounds retarded to just get someone elses work for whatall you can do to yoursReally? Thanks anon. I appreciate that.If you were me, what would you start with considering everything I wanna do?How much do you think it’d run total?>chopping the frame>paint>new tank/fender>new forks>new tires and wheels (the skinny kind. I don’t like big rear wheels)
>>289159872 years, the fun of riding such a powerful bike on the street lasted for a long time.
>>28916002The MT09 is plenty powerful enough for commuting but ofc >you need more™.If I was you I'd find a way to keep the Ducati as a track toy and buy a Scooter for commuting. But I'm not you so I don't have a Ducati. :(
>>28916005If I had a track near me that I could get the bike higher than 3rd then I would.
>>28915625Sick bike, get a real helmet retard.
>>28915493No one is laughing, ride your ride anon.
>>28916018We only laugh at fags with ZX4s. Shit ass bike
>>28915823I hate the exhaust on itBut aftet you junk that exhoost, id imagine it shaves a bunch of weight and frees up spaceWould be a good frame to modify upon with proper upgrades, just seems like a spacious frameAlsoAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
>>28916031you literally cant ride though
>>28916043>POV: you cant ride because youre about to do bad things with the wrong tools to the bikeI have became shoomers; destroyer of bikesHopefully ill have a top end rebuilt git on the way and just set aside what i dont need, thinking 2 or 3 extra piston ringsBuddy said itll be less than $500 maple syrup tokensAnyways, had some fun, not enjoying the wiring or thougts of reassembly for thatAt least i have access to the topend moreso and see if i can open er up or if i should just take it all out Guys what scrapyard do i look for a bike for a donor rear shock absorber for my fatass?I was reccommended to do that so i might scout out some donor bikes or parts if theyres any laying on the floorIts that or rally aids from auSTEALia
