Do yamahas make good offroaders?
New exhaust coming in for my CT125. Will post pics when its here. Any tips on installation?
>>28978995Idie it for 10 mins after installing it so the ecu can readjust itself to the new exhaust.
>>28978983New (to me) Honda.
>>28978983I love Rin AND SuzukiThere's a kitted out DR650 near me but the boomer wants 6K for it and it has 13K miles.
>>28979024very nice Honda
>>28978995You keep piling mods on this little bike, do you even ride bro? How are you richer than GS fags?
>>28978995Really based and cub pilled
>>28979035He knows what he has and knows what it's worth, good luck changing his mind.>>28978983He copied my OP from last thread. Everyone look at him, look at him and laugh.
>2 threads up>still no DSG sc00t threadI'll just keep waiting
>>28979062You must be the change you want to see in the world, my bruddah. Or you could just stick around here. As much as we make fun of scooters, you're still better than a cager and honestly most real riders would pick a scooter if it was their only choice.
>>28979062Post here you absolute mong. I'm tired of timelines being split and not seeing enuogh cute scoots and animus.

Is it possible to do an elephant turn on an eliminator without disabling abs? I tried to this morning but chickened out.
>>28979108What's an elephant turn?
>>28979111 nta it's this
>>28979111You can't do the stop slide with ABS enabled, but in theory you can do the power slide on any bike with enough lean angle.Practice on dirt before going on pavement, it's easier to break traction on dirt and you can get comfortable doing the power slide where it's easier, pavement grips a lot more and if you're not comfortable or dont give enough power it can grip and send you flying worst case scenario.
>>28979115Meant for >>28979108
>>28979115I’ll probably get a cheap dirt bike too to practice on, I already dented the tank on the eliminator during week 1 practicing u turns.
Going to a Cycle Gear bike night tonight. Should be some ok people watching there.
>>28978990>indian makes a fake r1 >tries to ride it in mud
Finally got a new windshield coming in the mail. Parts for this bike are so cheap, it's great. >>28979024Hell yeah brother! New Bike day is always a good day. >>289790356k for a dr650 is insane. like 1500 can get you a working first gen KLR most places.

>>28979314Post your cafe racer
>>28979314I've become so jaded about cafe racers. Can't bloody stand them. They're just everywhere and ruining contemporary bike design. In the spirit of the XSR900 GP, I predict that we will R E T V R N to road-rash style full fairing curvy bikes that DON'T look like fucking origami.
>>28979314>I'm all for customizing your bike, just do it how I would

>>28979314>I saw the f9 about the brickEvery brick you find is either leaking oil from the rear seal that requires 10 hours of shop time to replace or is being sold by someone who's trying to get his $1500 back after replacing the seal.alsoLet people enjoy things.

>>28979355>XSR900 GPuhm ackchually that's a scrambler
I will post in this thread.
>>28979355This isn't a cafe racer
A bit hot out today. Took my cafe racer out.
>>28979356didn't mean to highlight xsr900 gp lol, I had just googled that and forgot that 4chan quoted any highlighted text.
>>28979158Its R15, it's a 160cc single cylinder cool baik.
>>28979323>Post your cafe racerI don't have a cafe racer>>28979342Most cafe racers here aren't even street legal because these fuckwits screw with the frame, seat, handle, and whatnot and that warrants special inspections for which you NEED to prove that your bike won't just under go an unscheduled spontaneous deconstruction on the roads but especially the Autobahn.You cannot do that with a one-of-one unless you're willing to shell out insane amounts of money because you fucked with a lot of things (at the same time).I know what it is like to mod a motor vehicle in Germany, because I've modded my E36 and done everything the "correct" way.

You gotta reign in the morons, as a consequence the people who know what they're doing will always suffer for it.Someone post that picture of Scotty pointing at that miata or subie or whatever it was wrapped around the tree because the moron who modded it was running stretched tires.That's the kind of people who are at fault for regulations like that.>>28979386Watched it, same talking points as my colleague.I'm especially after the insane reliability.
>>28979395>They didn't pay for the permits to modify their property. You people just love regulating the life out of anything. I'm shocked you're allowed motorcycles at all.
>>28979395Anon, reliability after 30-40 years is going to be questionable at best. Just get a later model viffer or a cbr650r. A Vstrom 650 is also going to be equally reliable. Or, if you only want bimmers, any of the GSes are going to be equally reliable. There are way too many reliable bikes. But, I don't think there is another i4 on its side. Is there. I doubt k100 is going to be any better than a cbr650r.

>>28979374No I am a different cub fag. The exhaust is gonna be the first real mod I'm putting on it

Several threads ago I asked how to buy a helmet if you don't have a local store. You said trusting the sizing table is fine, which I did and ordered a Scorpion helmet. It does not fit, too tight. Thanks I guess. What do I do now? Send back somehow ?

>>28979466hell yeah brother
It's always a good day when it's parts dayAnyone else celebrating parts day today?
>>28979487Yeah bros, i also inquired about the shoomers can finally be habby timeline mr.harley davidsonHe said there may be issues with the evo motor and that would be where to start- theyre not as reliable as everyone shills they are unless you got the modernizations of something like a S&S built motor, better oil pump and some cams etc. Just odds and ends for what to lookout for if i ever did chance upon owning itSo, good to know, but helps to know, and knowing is half the battle of shoomers finally being habby timeline involving a mr.harley davidsonIdk bros, i just really would like to enjoy the harley vtwin all american heritage experience at least once before i become a nobike forever againBut asides from that, new crf450rl tires are here, time to remove the whols this afternoonI havent actually removed the front tire before for a wheel swap, only the rears, but they dont have chain sliders or alignments so is that an issue or is it one of those set it and forget it after torquing the nut?I know thats a dumdum question, but remember who youre replying to
>>28979516>not as reliable as everyone shillsWell, compared to other HD engines, they are>S&S built motorMade in Korea, so at least as reliable as a Hyundai.>Front wheel swapperYou can just torque it and be happy, that is perfectly OK. The super-lux treatment is finger-tighten the nuts and bolts (including front fender) then loosen the lower triple clamp pinch bolts, then take it off the stand and pump the suspention up and down a few times, then tighten everything to torque specs. This lets the front end put itself in alignment, you get improved fork action this way.But again, it's optional but not much more work and makes for a comfy front end.
where’s my wheelie gang at?
>>28979551Didn't Rossi claim they're the enemy?
>>28979551I need to practice
>>28979407>CBR650R is a tourerthat's not a tourer, it's a sport bike just not a supersport. can't be a touring bike if you aren't sitting upright
I think Palomar is the first time I’ve actually had a road that I’ve done a significant amount of reps on that I can almost remember it turn for turn and I’m getting a lot faster than I used to be on it which is weird.It’s an extremely confidence negative road with a lot of corners that are very unpredictable and confusing but it makes really getting it down a lot of fun.I have a fear of downhill riding because it feels like my rear is always gonna slip on me but riding here enough has really helped me regain that confidence and corner so much faster than I thought I couldThe riders out here are super kind and helpful too, I got to shadow an ex-racer guy on my downhill run and it was nice being able to see different ways to approach the same corners. I had always been practically parking the bike for corners on the downhill but after watching him I’ve been focusing on dragging more brake through the corner but scrubbing less speed and it feels way betterWish I could get a pic done by the other photographer up here to see my progress because I feel much faster and my tires definitely show it /blogpost
>>28979544I thought s&s built their motors in america also? WtfAlso bros, check out these SKULLMODE pushrods
>>28979611Just dont get complacent, we dont need two yamatwinks with brokened armsBut if you break the opposite arm, we can rebuild him, stronger, fit for battle, the ultimate yamatwinkAlso what you mean by dragging the brake in a corner??
>>28979622You're right, it's RevTech that's made by Dae-Il.
>>28978983oh, neat. another melon tranny copypasta thread made by a nobike.has this society collapsed already?
>>28979623I already crashed on Palomar once, safety takes precedent of course, I can’t afford another crash> Also what you mean by dragging the brake in a corner??Starting your braking off hard(er) and then as you tip in slowly letting off the brake but not entirely letting it go. It makes the suspension feel much more stable going through corners. Particularly this is great on downhill corners where not using it at all makes the bike feel unpredictable and wildTL;DR revmatch your tendies on your drum brakes
>>28979662Oh, i seeYeah im losing the ability to do complex maneuvers like thst because of the tendon severance package on the throttle handIve noticed im more jerky on my dual snort because of it, and id rsther not hamfist an assload of brake and yeet into doomBut the ninja would have been easier because of the clibbins and no handgudsWith that setup i was at least able to do it with different ergonomixOk i see what youre saying, youd need an aggressive turn

Sup, any OTHER ideas why Yamaha XJ6 inline four would start to violently vibrate on revs after 33K miles? Even while stationary on neutral. I ran out of money for the month buying & ordering wrenching stuff, so valve adjustment will have to wait till July. But I got the gauge for compression at least.Done:>air, oil filter & oil are good>engine mounts tightened to spec>injectors spray is even>no vacuum leaks>throttle bodies sync>spark plugs are new, good gap, little residue>caps & coils resistance on spec>HT leads re-cut & clamped against cap boots>no misfiring>cam chain tensioner is still good (not on last tooth)>cam position sensor resistance on spec>intake air sensor resistance on spec>exhaust headers bolts to spec>muffler mounts rubber is good, bolts to spec>peg subframes mount bolts to spec, rubber washers still good>checked steering bearing (fluid, no play)>checked radiator & fan mounts (on spec)TO DO:>open up right side alternator cover to see if anything came loose (magnets, bolts)>measure cylinder compression>swap injectors around just for the sake of it>valve clearance
>>28979715>>open up right side alternator cover to see if anything came loose (magnets, bolts)*left

Local shelter was two hours away from euthanizing him. I don't think we even paid the adoption fee, they were just happy someone finally adopted him. He needs training but he's a German shepherd/Malinois mix so he should be very trainable.

My wife has trained some smaller dogs and she's a dedicated dog person, she'll be home to work with him at least for the time being. He was scheduled for euthenasia in two hours anyway, so fuck it. If it doesn't work out, I know someone who will probably take him, or we can keep him as an outside dog on our 6 acres.
>>28979924Damn bro, don't say that
>>28979804So cute!
>>28979940Its ok, you needed a new best friend
>>28979045>>28979247>>28979853Thanks anons! Did a lot of research leading up to the purchase. At least in my area it's pretty much impossible to find an F4i that wasn't completely clapped/stunted, so when I saw this one pop up I knew it was the one. First big/proper bike after years of running around on a Grom and scoot (also Honda), so definitely taking it slow and respecting the power. Also thinking of grabbing some frame sliders just in case since the plastics are so pristine. (shitty photo since autofocus on my phone went out)
>>28979851Yeah, SoCal near Tenaja Falls>>28979945Thanks :3
>>28979956Theyre fun gas guzzlers for suuuure
>>28979964yeah especially coming from a Grom I noticed immediately how much more it was at the pump. 1/3 the mpg and 4x the tank capacity really gave me a reality check. Still much better than my cage tho.
>>28979964Still better mpg than most cars
>>28979956Very pretty bike. Rare to see them that old and so clean. Barn find? Meticulous boomer?>Frame sliders A must have imo. I have them on most of my bikes. I haven't dropped a bike a yet but they really come in handy if you do. You just never know. Your foot could hit and gravel at a stoplight. Shoelace catches. Whatever.I haven't dropped a bike at a standstill but I laid my zx6r over doing parking lot drills trying to drag knee. The frame slider bolt broke off and it scraped the fairing but the initial hit on the slider will still break the fall and lessen the damage if you go down at speed. What kind mpg did that Grom get? My cbr250 gets about 60-70 but I hate that I don't have the power to accelerate out of bad situations with it.
>>28979967Oh yeah, forgot to note. On that f4i you may have to drill holes in the fairings for frame sliders. Sometimes you can get "no cut" sliders that have a relocation bracket, and sometimes even those require a little trimming.
>>28980023>Rare to see them that old and so clean. Barn find? Meticulous boomer?2nd option. Got it from an older guy that aged out of sportbikes. Pristine California garaged bike (had to ship it to the PNW), new Michelin tires, sub 20k miles, could go on. Honestly the perfect F4i.The Grom got well over 100mpg with the stock exhaust. I ended up adding an aftermarket exhaust and intake and did an ecu flash so that dropped it down a bit. Before gas went up in price I could fill it up once a week from literal pocket change. Few more bucks now but obviously still a dirt cheap fill up.
>ctrl+f >"Aprilia">0/0yeah alright
>>28980065Aprilia SR50.
>>28980065In a Honda guy through and through but if I won the lottery, amongst other bikes I would certainly get an rs250.
Any thoughts on no fork bikes? They look cool, but many complain about no feedback2020 Bimota Tesi H2
>>28980091>Any thoughts on no fork bikes?Meh.
>>28980106Alright, Hub-Center Steering bikes, I was too lazy to check proper name
>>28980091Fortnine has a cool vid on it. They are cool, I wanna try one. BMW with GS has a less elegant solution that they made work. Including feedback.
>>28979967My F850GSA is better than my Jazz which is cool.
>>28980065Here you go anon
>>28980091They're called hub centric steering, the benefit is reduced brake drive and reduced unsprung weight. The cost is less feels
>>28980091No front end feedback and accordingly inferior. If it was good racing teams would’ve adopted. I admire the autists at Bimota for sticking with it but it’s meme suspension
>>28980125>>28980091Also, conventional telescopic forks do offer a level of rudimentary damping on the side of the tyre just due to the slight amount of flex in them. Apparently this also makes a difference in handling. The consensus just seems to be that they feel strange to ride and therefore ppl can’t go faster on them than on a traditional setup
If hub-center steering was good it would be on the best bike ever made but instead the best bike ever made uses double wishbone
>>28980091They look like an awd system blongs on there but there isn't so I am disaapointed.
>>28980129Powering the front wheels in a bike is a really bad idea though
>>28980091Ok, hear me out brosWhat if instead of two swingarms like bimotaAe instead do four forks, two front and two in the backUltimate steering feedback loops and time machine pills for eccentric engineering feedback loopsTell me itll workTell me there is living proof
>>28980152>double wishbone front and rearMy God you're a genius, this technology could solve the front back eccentric time loop paradox

>>28980152So something like plunger rear suspension?
>>28980171Im too stupid to know whata going on from first glance here i need a schematic drawing>youre saying the answer to the time machine pill paradox of suspension pills was always: communismBlyad kammeraden, blayd
>>28980174It's a solid frame bike where the rear differential/final drive unit has suspension travel, the rear wheel moves up and down with the final drive instead of a rear fork.Basically the shock absorbers are connected straight to the rear wheel axle.
>begin researching stalins ultra secret plunger program>turns out my call was redirected to the polish soviet republic plumbing supply factoryLuckily one of the time machine pill addicts there had a hand pdf copy on his usb drive, also from the future. He gave it to me before i had to hop back over the iron curtainhttps://cvkustoms.com/PDF/Part_1_Russian_Plungers,_Swing-Arms_and_Torsion_Bars.pdfI hate time travelling to get these autism documents, but very cool read now that i have diagrams
>>28978995when you are removing the plastic fairing on the right side of the bike be super careful cause you will break the plastic hinges on it (i did)my other suggestion is that you might want to replace the kickstand or just always use center standbecause the OEM kickstand is too short and it will tip over at even slightest of recline, especially when you are carrying 2 case of beer on the backsome people suggest getting Forza 350's OEM kickstand or adjustable aftermarket onebut I havnt get around getting those yet so Im just sticking with using centerstand when in slope also just finished install the new camshaft, air funnel, sprocket and fuel controller now my cub reach 114 km/h topspeed, could probably get more with ECU Flash but I think this is enough for now I might get new gold oring chains but will see anyway what pipe did you get?

>>28980199T7 should be the first choice. Next, its Vstrom 650, any of the GSes or Tigers are cool too. If you want poor-core. Himi is excellent choice.
>Harley is moving the rev max production back to states I think this is a dumb move Imagine wasting money twice And people who are crying about off shore Harley dont buy new Harley to begin with They just buy thr same used 10-15 years old road glide
>>28980234HELL YEAH BROTHER
The weather forecast is dogshit enough that I wouldn't take my motorcycle to work (don't fairweather me I don't have 2 days to dry out my shit if I get totally bitchslapped by a t-storm) but parking is all fucked if I take my car, why is the world shitting on me so hard.
>>28980121based. GD or GE or what? I had a gd3 that I absolutely adore. Not my baiku but it uses less gas than some bikes I've ridden lol
Baka ero! Morning lads.
>>28980234>And people who are crying about off shore Harley dont buy new Harley to begin with >They just buy thr same used 10-15 years old road glidethats why harleys business model is dying buy good, buy onceyou can find 20-30 year old harleys that look and ride as good as new, but the new shit is trash so in essence the boomers are fighting the right fight, but in reality they dont actually care because their old boat still works just fine and they have 0 reason to get a new one
>>28980234If they started making affordable domestic bikes again it could turn the company around.
>>28979870>so he should be very trainable.If that was the case he wouldnt have sat unadopted for so long. He's gonna shit inside and shew up everything.
>>28979968Wow what a great contribution. Here's your participation ribbon, little guy :)
>>28980262Love my harley. Simple as
>>28980234moving production overseas was always meant to be a temporary move while redoing the plant in York. >>28980274The nighster is an affordable domestic bike. 10k sounds like a lot because we destroyed the money supply, but its the entry level for a full sized bike these days. Rebel 1100 is 10k, ZX-6R is 11.6k, MT-09 is 11k, down the line. The sportster costs 10 grand in 2020 too, which would be 13k today adjusted for inflation.What they don't have is a truly BUDGET bike, and in the budget realm I don't think anyone cares about motorcycle origin. With appropriate styling and marketing, the sprint should do well. What's become clear to me is that Harley's problem extends to their relationship with journalists and content creators. Harley makes stylistic choices, such as transmission feel, which are out of step with the modern journalist's preference, which is snickety smooth transmissions. In a Harley review, they lampoon the transmissions as agricultural. In a BMW retro review, where they make the same stylistic choice, they call it soulful. Don't get me wrong, because cruisers aren't for me and I'm always going to be a HONDA man, just what I've noticed. If Honda made bikes here, I would never spare another thought to Harley. But since Harley makes bikes here and Honda doesn't, I think it's important to be fair to the company. >>28980193The REs and CFMotos are proof that budget bike buyers don't care about origin. Harley made a mistake with Buell that they are not making with Livewire. They need to have more seperation between sub-brands so that they can market without diluting their main and most profitable brand. Imagine a Harley davidson that had kept their imported italian dirt bikes under one brand that was still an option (dirt bikes are a huge percent of all sold motorcycles), or that kept their four wheeled vehicles under another brand and now would sell you a SxS, or that really separated out Buell and now would sell you a sport bike.
Shrimple as
>>28980234>build all the parts in thailand's factory anyway>shipped them in crated back to US and assembly it therevola assembly in US bike 1HD PAN AMERICA!!
>>28980291HOG LIFE
>>28980287HELL YEAH BROTHER
>>28980291>>28980300HYB
I think they are just restarting the old Rev Max production line after using the Thailand factory as the testing ground. There is no point in removing an already running factory just to move it back to the US. they can now make US made Harleys to sell domestically (or maybe CVO versions) and keep the Ladyboy Harleys as cheap bikes to sell globally.
>>28980302BHY
>>28980310They were renovating the york plant
its up!!https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtR3g6tw36Ahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtR3g6tw36Ahttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dtR3g6tw36Ahave any of you ever ride around isle of men?
>>28980335still malding they cancelled the sidecar race this year
>>28979376>>28979383This fucking sucks, I like this bike and have been thinking to get one for a while, I guess they will shoot up in price now. Thanks fucking youtuber
>>28980340Such as it always is.
other than my first bike i haven't drop any of my bikes in 15 years. this piggy tho>>28979470has almost met the ground a few times already. if you come to a stop not perfectly vertical, slightly leaned 1 degree either way, if takes all the shoe traction in the world to hold on to it.philosophically I am against guards, frame sliders, shit like that. idk why, just feels like they are a just a step up from training wheels.also doesn't help that they are all near $400i feel like im going to regret it either way
>>28980281Just as much of a contribution as your dumbass talking about fuel economy of a sport bike kek
Give me a reason not to buy an old cheap BMW boxer.
>>28980376Now imagine how fun it is to pick up if actually drop one!I was going to buy a v85tt but after it humiliated me with its weight I decided one time is enough, picking it up ever again was not on my bucket list.Have I bought it anyway I would surely add some protection, especially if it limits the angle at which it lays down.
Okay I opened the throttle on 2nd gear to 10k rpm first time in my life and shat my pants. Holy it's so cool and at the same time scary. I really want to master motorcycles now.
>>28980411Post it
>>28978983>Fuck yeah, just put a deposit down on a '25 Tenere 700. Been a few years since I've had a bike but I really need some fun to come back into my life a bit.BASED
>>28980238That's a cutie pie. Nice red badge and cool looking wheels. Mine is GK. I love this car, I give it head pats every now and then. It deserves it.
>>28980411Which baik? I do it on my 300cc single and it's a nice tame bike.
>>28980414Stop it with the lewd pits. I'm not supposed to like Onsa.
Everyone getting HYB replies except me. Why no like my bike?
>>28980428Where is it
>>28980426SV650 two-cylinder with around 70hp, I understand it's not much but for me it's new
>>28980227what about transalp or 800de?
>>28980430These are mine. >>28979394 >>28979414
>>28980436Oh, well its gay to beg for attention
>>28980434These are great bikes too. Better road bikes than the mighty T7.
>>28980437
>>28980227T7 is overpriced because of people like you. It is not worth to get one unless you have experience to make that decision yourself which that guy does not have.And Aprilia Tuareg 660 is better anyways.
>>28980448Where the fuck are you buying parts for shitalian baiks? If you want premium, just get BMW. Tansalp is good, 800DE is pigfat.
>>28980431That's a cool baik, post pics.
>>28980458Tuareg is cheaper than T7, not sure what you are talking about. You can order a broken part once in two years online, it's not like you post itt without internet and can't find it. I live near Italy, yes.
>>28980376A bike like that should come from the factory with bars. F'in Italians. It cost me $2K to fix a borrowed multistrada that I dropped at a red light. I don't know what the italians are thinking (profitable parts sales, maybe.)>>28980431Sweet!
>>28980428>No HYB for GuacimoHYB!
>>28980475>It cost me $2K to fix a multistrada that I dropped at a red lightsheeeeeeeeeeiit
>>28980448>T7 is overpriced>msrp 10,999thats as cheap as it gets niglet, this isnt 1995
>>28980475Maybe you were the problem
