>>28953020yes I agree!
heck yeah bwother
is suzuki retarded?>big ol adv >front tire is TUBED>rear tire is TUBELESS
>>28953020'lol you think you can satisfy me with a little scoot? lol lmao'
hello friends! The summer is finally here and it feels so good. >>28953023genuinely why tf would they do that. That makes no sense.
>>28953024>all that luggageJust TTT (take the truck)
>>28953027"Don't forget your purse, ma'am. lol lmao"
>>28951798>road6
>>28953029There's literally no point in doing this kind of stuff. The bike can't turn or accelerate. You're not gonna do any cool jumps, skids, zoomies or wheelies. You're just gonna go slow as hell like you're sitting on the toilet.
>>28953024>those treadswomen never fail to disappoint
is this too much for a brand new rider? i just got off work :/
>>28953031kek I waited for you the entire thread. What took you so long?
>>28953023i watch an interview with suzuki rep sometime agothey said cause in the "real" off road scenariohaving tubed spoke front tyre is better cause cause its studier or something i dont know
>>28953032Sounds like a skill issue to me.>1200cc's of big torque engine>can't accelerate because of a few kg's in extra luggagelmao have you ever even ridden a bike?
>>28953034MOIST
>>28953038>>1200cc's of big torque engineThat shit isn't going anywhere kek
>>28953038Bro what the fuckkkkkk LMAAOAHAHAHAHAHAHA tell me this is the old model the new one has more power right
>>28953027what if I cant afford a truck?
>>28953047I kneel
>>28953047Why would you want a truck when you have a sick lil Honda?
>>28953044Isn't that quite okay for a touring bike?
>>28953034oh the tires are brand new too, maybe i shouldnt. or i should just to learn. hmm
It was rainy and cold yesterday, went for a decently long ride today :)
>>28953055Just ride a bit slower?
Oh great. Fatwing is here
>>28953052Yeah, he's just being retarded.
>>28953058you promise thats all it takes?
>>28953062Yea
>>28953062Pretty much, yeah. Your tyres are designed to be ridden in the rain. If you rode your bike to work then the tyres aren't brand new. But still just ride 10% more cautious than you normally would and enjoy the comfy feeling of being dry and warm in your helmet while the drips run off your visor.
>>28953033I tried to lead off the bike for a u-turn on dirt the first time I road offroad. Valuable learning experience.
>>28953037Yeah, but any surface where you want to drop tire pressure on the front, you're damn sure going to want to drop in the rear to get traction. Pick one or the other, not both.
I'm convinced that the most dedicated riders are kids.One drop of rain or it's slightly chilly outside and the "big boys" call it a day or are too scared of going outside on their 50 grand dadventure heaps, whereas you see kids doing wheelies on their 50cc scooters and dirt bikes in the dead of winter.
Does anyone here have a SENA Spider comms? I just can't understand the connectivity. It says it purely uses Mesh technology, but what does it mean exactly? Can I pair it with someone who does have another SENA device without Mesh? Can I pair it with Cardo devices or noname chink ones? Why this shit is never clearly explained by manufacturer and you need dig through random forums and reddit posts without answers for a device that costs several hundred bucks???Anon I'm tired.
>>28953077No shit, bro. Dentists got a fucking land rover and just put on some Nirvana or whatever. It's bike or bust for the yout's.
>>28953034not if you have rain gear>>28953027just TTT (tkill tyour tself)
>>28953084And that's why the kids are the most dedicated to this shit, whereas the wannabe bikers are frankly all pussies and posers.
>>28953077>people whose only vehicle is a motorcycle ride motorcycles at inopportune timesinsightful
>>28953089>J-J-JUST!!
>>28953077To be dedicated to something you have to put real effort into it. Yeeting around on a dirtbike is not dedication.Also life is simple for kids, they heal quick, their parents pay for their toys and if they fall off and break an arm they don't have to do homework for a week.If their dad comes off, he's paying for the damages, may be unable to work, probably won't heal so good etc.
>Bro ride when it's miserable out, you are a bike right?!?Kek nah I'm good, there's no point
>>28953091>dedicated to this shit
Anytime I see an adventure bike I imagine 40-55 year old man in a very cringe and pathetic way. Truly the cuck of motorcyclists. It’s like having a bike picked by your wife
Riding in bad weather is still more fun than driving all but the best cars (i cant afford them) in that same weather. I don't see where dedication comes into it.
Damn, you are BIG mad no one replied to you last thread.
>>28953105Nothing wrong with advs dumb fuck but when you load it up with 10 boxes and spare tires and all this other bullshit like you might as well take the truck you're not trying to ride you're trying to transport goods.
>>28953108>Riding in bad weather is still more fun than drivingNah you got ac and heat in the car and cupholders, it's like the most comfortable time to drive is when it's shit out vs the worst time to ride in the same conditions.
He is BIG mad.
>>28953068>enjoy the comfy feeling of being dry>>28953089>not if you have rain gearoh i dont. my jeans and gloves are completely soaked but thankfully its not too cold
>>28953116Oh God your boots are going to catch so much water and smell like fucking mildew for a week.
>>28953113God I wish they still made the DR big.
>>28953112comfort =/= fun
>>28953112Thats like, your opinion, man>>28953116Blow dry your stuff
>>28953056So how fat are you?
>>28953126discomfort != virtue
>>28953126wet != fun
>>28953134Even more so once you're over 30.
Gentlemen, may I offer you a soundtrack for your ride home this evening?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OktIj7wvWyQ
>>28953143>ai musicdelete this
>>28953147Unless something has drastically changed with Carpenter Brut, I think you are mistaken.
>>28953143You guys listen to music on your bike? I need 100% focus for a ride.
>>28953052ignore that schizo1200/1250GS is literally the choice of every globetrotter, who isnt a pavement princess
>>28953155this, motherfuckers must live in japan, the only place on earth where they have respect for human life and wont run you over for no reason so you can like relax and enjoy the ride.
In other news: I was riding my bike at 50 km/h in a 50 zone when some cager overtook me on the opposite side of the road. I moved over into the bike lane to avoid being hit by the cager (who was speeding) and I got a ticket for riding in the bike lane while the cager didn't get a ticket for speeding.why do pigs hate bikes so much?
>>28953155>>28953162Sounds like you two have ADD because for normal people music isn't a catastrophic distraction.
>>28953169Why do you need music when riding your bike in the first place? It's not fun enough?That means you are riding wrong bike or wrong route or there's something wrong with you.
>>28953169>JUST relaxnice try n
>>28953170Why do you need a bike, isn't your life fun enough without it?
>>28953174Yes.
>>28953162The commute home is the fabled video game where you die in real life too. My commute playlist is just there to set the appropriate mood.
>>28953175you have answered your own question padawan

>if i listen to music i might crash and dieskill issue
>>28953178You guys commute on your bike?>>28953179So yeah your bike/route isn't fun enough then, that's why you need music. Got it.
>>2895318moot himself (god rest his soul) vouched for the quality of dbt
>>28953184>mootWho?
who the fuck is moot
DBT time?
>>28953180No, if you have more than 1 cylinder I don't want to be associated with you.
>>28953183Nobody said they NEED music. Just because you're happy enough getting your dick sucked, why do you need to have an autistic tantrum if someone else likes a finger up the stinker at the same time?>reeeee that's not the way I enjoy things reeeeethis is you, faggot
>>28953188>>28953187Holy fuck these newfags don't know who Moot is
>>28953193Autistic children are unable to comprehend that people might like or do things they don't.
Thoughts on my elaborate plans for a summer comping trip? Heard lots of good things about the Balkan TET section. t. blue '92 Transalp XL 600 anon
>>28953193>Nobody said they NEED musicI need music because crawling around at mind-numbingly slow speed limits is incredibly boring.
>>28953196The things you like are fundamentally wrong and bad though, I'm trying to help you and you're making it difficult.
>>28953195They were probably still on mothers teet in the glory days of this thread.
>>28953193>tantrum>>28953155>You guys listen to music on your bike? I need 100% focus for a ride.Pottery. Take your meds.
>>28953195Ironic that newfag namefag aren't in on the "who?" joke.>inb4 t-that was double irony!
>>28953202I was here in the beginning, Moot made /o/ for me
>>28953170>I was riding on the wrong bike>In the wrong gear>With the wrong dependencies>I took the wrong road>that led to the wrong tendencies
>>28953198Looks fun, enjoy it. Tranny is a great bike.
I think we can all agree that listening to music while riding is the epitome of having fun, but do you prefer slow and soothing tunes to calm your jimmies or do you prefer fast-paced high-tempo music to match your heart rate?
>>28953201It's okay little autismo, but the things I like are objectively and fundamentally superior to what you like. My "opinion" is fact, you're just wrong and autistic.
>>28953213If I have leftover focus to listen to music - I would instead spend it to go faster.
>>28953215Get a load of this guy, post 1 good song and I'll use it to determine if you have a gay bike. Go on!
>>28953170Depends what mood I'm in, sometimes I feel like listening to music sometimes I like listening to the engine alone. The fact you're suprised by this is hilarious.>>28953182Truke>>28953184>>28953187>>28953188Moot, founder of 4chan was a close friend of epstien. Who influenced the creation of /pol/ don't believe me? Look it up. Epstien loved moot, took him under his wing so to speak.>>28953201Nobody appointed you to be the arbiter of objective goods and bads though. You don't want to help anyone, you just want people to conform to your stupid silly billy standards.
>>28953207oh it's youI miss /osg/ well the osg from like 10 years ago

>>28953213Spirited riding in the twisties = higher tempoChill and smooth riding/heavily populated urban enviornments = soothing tunes
>>28953219>leftover focusmaybe if you didn't have to focus on changing gears then you'd have enough brain power left to ride fast(er).

>>28953238NTA but this says even more about you.
>>28953162You sound like you don't travel much
>>28953221If epstein was the influence for /pol/ does that mean the rise in antisemitism is a jewish plot?
>>28953213Largely situational.

>>2895324817 isn't 4chan cutoff, normalfag
>>28953235Last one I saw was a couple of years ago maybe. Basically all just shops selling waifu slaps. The good old days of 4chan/o/dbt related diecuts and slaps seemed to have mostly sailed. I think I requested that you start shipping to the UK but then didn't buy anything anyway. heh Really need to buy a tool box to put all my old stickers on.
>>28953241Look man this is a bike thread. I could flesh it out but its A LOT and this just isn't the place for it. Moots involvement was just something I figured was worth shining a light on. The epstien organization is an independent entity not bound to a lone flag but you obviously don't believe that.>>28953238Jesus christ, why would you say that>>28953239

i wanted to change belts today but the gates replacement i ordered is slightly longer than the factory original i just pulled out. should i just send it? the oem is 10 years old at this point.
>>28953311Do you think they would deal with a drop on a bike? 200kg of bike falling over onto a bar end and 15kg of mtb is a bit of a difference.
>>28953312im feeling dangerous>>28953315surely will get compromised if they dont outright crack.carbon fibre handelbars at least should stay in one piece if they break, since the resin holds them together
Has anyone ridden a Tracer 9? Seems a little heavy, but comfy for what I want to do with the built in bags, cruise control, heated grips etc.

So far i tried water and kerosneed but its still a darker brown but only green fluid came outShould i just wait to new filter timeline, again?
>>28953336Same. It comes with experience. First time I cleaned injectors it took me 4-4-2 hours to take them off, clean and put back in. Next time it barely took 2 hours.>air filterIf kerosine didn't help and you're good with your hands - you can try cutting out paper part out of available car filter and hotglue it into plastic frame of old air filter from your bike.
How do i into wrenching without fucking my shit up beyond repair? The idea of tinkering on my bike in brown pants and a white shirt in the summer sunshine while all the girls mire my dirty hands and penis bulge (never wear underwear as it makes you look smaller, always take cialis when going out for gym gains and better bulges)
>>28953341What I learned is that you need impact drivers. Manual one for rubber mallet and electric one for everything else. And torque wrench for putting it together, especially if steel bolt threads into aluminum. Picrel is manual one. Also photograph every step of taking shit together, so you have a reference for putting it back in.
>>28953198Here's a better plan
>>28953344>Manual one for rubber mallet*manual one for rubber mallet for REALLY stuck mild steel bolts, especially philips and hex screwspicrelated is electric impact driver
>>28953320>carbon fibre handelbars at least should stay in one piece if they break, since the resin holds them togetherUnlikely, the resin content is very low.>>28953315The clamping loads are also greater for the bar clamps and the brake and clutch levers, and many controls and throttles use a pin to lock their position and having that hole in a carbon tube creates a weak point.>>28953312Some older MTBs and BMXs use 22.2 but you're unlikely to find a modern carbon bar in that, 25.4 (1 inch) was the old standard and you can find some decades old carbon bars in that, new stuff will be 31.8 or 35. The reason for the larger sizes than motorcycles (where 28 is considered a fat bar) is down to weight, a larger diameter but thinner wall tube can be as strong but lighter than a smaller but thicker tube (or of course stronger for the same thickness). But for a motorcycle saving tens of grams doesn't matter so they just use thick tubes.
>>28953349>many controls and throttles use a pin to lock their positionI'm gonna be real: I broke those pins years ago and just clamp controls tighter on top some electric tape.
>>28953308Going fast is scary. :(
>>28953198>summerJust fair warning the med is extremely fucking hot and humid in the summer. I was in Italy in July 2 years ago and I was fucking melting the entire time. Can’t imagine being in full leather doing that
>>289533411/2" harbor freight torque wrench for big stuff like axle. NICE 6 point sockets (gearwrench, icon, tekton). if stuff is like 10-20 foot pounds i just do it by hand and don't crank too much. i wish i had a small torque wrench. trust your intuition though. if it feels like you're putting more torque on a thing than you think it should have, listen to that feeling and not the click on the wrench. twisting the head off a drain plug because you missed the click sucks.get one of those moto lifts off amazon for like 70$. they're pretty good actually.harbor freight has a set of deep 1/2" impact sockets that are big enough for the axles on my WR, which is pretty sick.buy stuff as you need it, not in anticipation of needing it.
>>28953333On the one hand I kind of like the conveniences, on the other hand I cannot deny those digits.
>>28953198>>28953354Yeah, BaH, MNE & Albania - you'd have to travel early in morning or after sunset. Mountain serpantines are insufferable in the sun, when air temp goes over that of your body, the wind doesn't help at all. Sometimes when it's 40°C during the day, I have to turn back after I go for a ride even aftersunset. Because I get to the serpantines and the air is still so fucking hot, it's impossible to breathe. You gasp and it feels like no oxygen is coming in.
>>28953355I’ve got a center stand is that good enough?
>>28953360>center standi dunno. probably. the lift is so i can take the front and rear wheels off and i assume you can do that with the center stand.but also once you've got one of these little jacks it's sick how useful they are. i used it to hold up an exhaust while i was working under my gf's car. and it's good for sitting on.
>>28953360center stand will handle all your maintenance needs
>>28953341Get a chinese 250cc so you don't feel so "in the hole" when it you eventually break it.
>>28953341Get the service manual for your bike, follow the service intervals and instructions. Watching a video on YouTube of someone else doing whatever job can also be helpful. Start with the basics, oil and filters. Then things here and there as needed, Pads when they wear out. Valves when due. Fork rebuild when the seals start to leak. etc. You'll gain knowledge in time and the tool collection will grow.
>>28953394>Valves when due.NTA but does valve cover come off without taking engine out of the frame on most bikes? I fell like it doesn't on mine.
>>28953395On most bikes, yes. What are you riding?
>>28953404Yamaha XJ6. Yeah looking at vids from R6 it seems possible. I ain't doing that on parking lot though lmao. Should probably get a shop to do for me soon.

How do you guys end up deciding if you're going to sell your bike?I got another bike last year and ive consistently gone for the new one's keys rather than the old one. I have to take the new one to the mechanic soon for a while so ill be riding the older one a lot more till its back. I don't know if i like it or if I just like the idea of owning it.
>>28953620There's no point in selling, theres plenty of other bikes people can buy if they need them I would just keep it.
>>28953620You have a new bike and a new beater. Wring it out.
