The primary reason to buy an ADV is the dirt bike adjacent rider triangle. I have a 36" inseam. My Vstrom is absolutely boring, but it's the most comfortable bike I've ever owned. My knees finally aren't in pain. Standing up and having great control of the bike is a bonus, you can stand on rear sets but it's not the same as ADV peg/bar placement. I should have bought a 990SMT or financed an 890SMT for a sportier bike, but I fell for the memes about KTM.

How to ride in full gear and not die of heatstroke in the summer, bros? It is consistently above 30°C during the summer here, except for some areas high up in the mountains, and I always end up removing my jacket during longer rides (for short rides I just wear t-shirt and shorts). I've tried "summer" riding gear and it seems like a meme.

why didnt you just get outer shell rain gear?
these goretex jackets seem cool but I feel its too hot for summer
I always ops for mesh gears then i just keep raingear tuck in my topbox all the time instead
so the when the rain stop i can simply just take it off
I do have goretex riding shoes tho
>>
>>29047972
>why didnt you just get outer shell rain gear?
I did, and it wasn't enough. After an hour in torrential rain, it soaks through. Some gear has removable internal liners which are much better than the outer shells at stopping water, but then the jacket itself still gets soaked even if you stay dry. This stuff has the Gore-Tex later bonded to the protective layer, so the jacket *should* stay dry no matter what.

>but I feel its too hot for summer
Perfect timing that you asked this, just as I was about to reply to this guy.
>>29047963

Basically, above about 34C the air is hotter than your skin. So maximising airflow by wearing a mesh jacket or even going shirtless isn't going to help, it just makes it worse. So counterintuitively, you actually want to BLOCK airflow at those temperatures, and instead soak your shirt in water before you ride. Then you want just enough airflow to evaporate the water from the shirt.

Gore-Tex does actually help with this, because it completely blocks the wind but still lets water evaporate. That's the "breathable" part of the "waterproof and breathable" marketing, which is really "waterproof OR breathable" depending on whether it's raining. But any jacket will work, you just want something that seals out most of the wind and then just open a couple of small vents on the front and back.

I live in a pretty temperate climate that only really goes between 0-40C, so if you're riding in li 50C or really high humidity then you might just be fucked either way.

Here's an article if you want more details.

>>
>>29047984
>So counterintuitively, you actually want to BLOCK airflow
This is wrong. The sun and your body are heating the insides of your blocked space further than 36°C, so even if the air is 34°C it's still beneficial especially when it's moving at high speeds.
>>
>>29047984
>it soaks through
you got the wrong one then
im talking about REAL rain gear not the breathable stuffs
these shit are basically tent canvas in the shape of jacket
when the rain stop maybe ride it for couple mins and it will dry off from wind alone then you fold it back

I know from experience 37+ nothing works besides getting someone to soak you with a hose and hope it doesn't evaporate before you get home.
>>
>>29048005

That's why you limit airflow. Because with too much, it dries out too fast. I'm super comfy in 38-40C.

I'm in Queensland and mesh is fine until 37. Humidity is fine with me I think we had a 40+ and the wind was burning my skin and stop start traffic at 1400 it was painful. I remember getting home and just using the garden hose to cool down and drinking whatever I had in the fridge afterwards.

Big air scoops over each shoulder forcing air over a pair of radiators modeled to look like wings. Probably with some LED strips to make them look neat at night. I figure the real problem is power. Could you sustain such a contraption by clipping into your bike's battery, or would the draw be too high? I'm guessing too high.

Is suzuki allergic to touring? It seems like they just treated the vstrom like it was the do everything bike and just never made an effort to compete in any of the dedicated touring markets. I saw an ad on marketplace for an 80s calvacade, and it made me wonder what has stopped suzuki from making a shaft drive sport tourer like the concours or fjr. They finally have come out with a tracer competitor, so maybe we'll see something in the future, but I just find it funny how they've made bikes like the katana and the b king which obviously sacrifice performance from the bikes they're based on, but it feels like suzuki's greatest effort has still been the pretty sporty chain drive gsxs1000gt

>>29048127
Their bikes, marketing, colorways, features, all of it is extremely modern if we were still living in 2010, 2015. They still sell multiple mid-range bikes that are carbureted, and their big product reveal over the last few years was one of those carbureted bikes, their most popular dual-sport, getting fuel injection.

For many reasons, that's why people buy their bikes. For other reasons, it's why they don't have the bikes people want.

Where does /dbt/ store the bike papers? Until now I just took my backpack and keep all my shit in it, but with the summer heat I'm thinking of storing my stuff elsewhere. First obvious idea would be under my seat, but I'm not sure how to put them without tearing my papers.
>>
>>29048140
>Just say you want LEDs and a TV screen lol disgusting little freak
Yes those are features made in the last 10-20 years that everyone else adopted.

Since you sound extremely mentally ill with a number of personal demons around new technology, then discussing it with you is pointless. Just say "New bad" and we can get your life philosophy.
>>
>>29048142
>Where does /dbt/ store the bike papers?
I don't.
I have an insurance card in my wallet. I would never dare take papers on my bike. Multiple reasons, #1 being that if anything, anything at all happens to the bike, those papers are gone anyway. Someone throws it in the back of a van? Where you put the papers no longer matters. You low-side it in a turn? Those papers are the least of our problems. You get pulled over by a cop? Sorry officer, let me get off my bike and take apart my seat to get to my papers, you don't mind if a stranger rummages through a backpack in front of you, right?

For all those reasons, it's best just to say "I don't have them" or put them someplace where they fit in your pocket. If they don't fit don't bother
>>
>>29048140
>>Their bikes,
>Example?
The DR-Z4 is a perfect example. Here's their big dual sport update and it has the same LCD dash as their 650 has. Or how about the 800DE that bolted an LED and TV screen to it but it has no real connectivity outside of it, so all the benefits of one is pointless lol

Can you get the original documents copied/notarized? If so, do that ASAP because keeping the originals on you is a bad idea. Even if your dictatorship declares it must be so. If you can get copies made, make 5 copies of each required document and keep two somewhere you can just easily whip them out like crumpled in your pocket/tankbag and be done with it.

That guy saying to close up rather than air out is mostly correct.
I ride in Phoenix until it's consistently over 110°, then pack it in. On my commute I wear a perforated leather jacket, gloves, and boots. For when I'm riding home I'll soak a hot weather balaclava and a moisture wicking long sleeve tee in water and wear it under my helmet/jacket. This should last half an hour, then I'll have to re-wet it all.
You should track down that iron butt article on hot weather riding- long story short, if you're all meshed up in hot weather, the wind will knock the sweat off your body before it evaporates, leaving you in ambient air that's hotter than your body temp with no swamp cooler effect.

Little to no electronics for a bike is a good thing, especially for touring. (You) don't want your bike to stop because a shitty sensor malfunctioned that causes the ECU to decide the engine will blow up if it continues running. Electronics were, are and will be relevant only for sportbikes.

The 1050 has been the sameish engine since it debuted in the early 2000s. The gen 2 switched to an integrated oil cooler and dual spark heads. The 1050 got different pistons and was geared up six teeth on the back.

Go ride an SV650 and an MT07 back to back. You're going to feel differences in the suspension and brakes 1000000x more than any difference in the engine. Autistic people who obsess over meaningless bullshit like this don't have jobs or friends and can't even rent bikes, so I guess I wouldn't expect you to know this.

Are you going to talk about fuel injection, upside down forks, or anything else that Suzuki lags in? That was the far bigger crime with the DRZ and still exists with the DR650. KTM owns a bunch of market share that would be free for Suzuki's taking if they would just put a useful headlight and a fuel pump on the DR650. Having modern USD forks that aren't limp noodles would also be pretty great.

So a R1200 and a Vstrom 1000 are both big ADV bikes, right? Which is easier to ride at slow speeds/standing up/over some bullshit rutted up truck trail? The R1200 by a fucking mile because its mass is condensed lower with the boxer. The same CAN apply with a parallel, depending on how its mounted in the frame.

Clutch basket, not the clutch plates themselves. They were consistently out of true or would easily wear out of true and develop pretty extreme vibrations between 3000-3800RPM or so. Suzuki did iterate multiple changes but didn't really get it right until the 1050. I suspect that's also why they geared it up so much, to generally keep the engine spinning faster.

Genuinely I think they simply believed that they sold enough new that people would only notice after it was out of warranty, so why bother fixing it.
Another thing that wasn't egregious enough to issue a recall for, so they just rolled with it

CBR500 or Rebel 500 depending on which riding position you like the most, cruiser or sport.

Someone said last thread ADV is the crossover SUV of motorcycles.
Considering every market is moving toward that, I have to agree, but it's for good reason: ADVs are just a saner way to ride. Putting your knees in your face for cruisers or laying on your stomach in the tuck actually fucking sucks. Let's be clear: no one likes doing it. If we could just sit like we're in a chair and ride like that, all of us would do it

Can't decide between a duc supersport 950 or a BMW r1200rs. Both are for sale near me around the same price. The duc's exhaust sounds amazing and is the sporty option but the BMW has that shaft drive and high mileage reputation.

Wrenchlette bros; i went, read over both of my crf450rl manuals to try and find the exact numbers for the sag setting and if the manual had any information beyond unrelated stuff

Im just a bit confused as to; if you replace the springs, which they show at least how to do and in excess of fork rebuilt etc., they still dont elaborate on a starting from zero basis of tuning the suspension, in this case my rear shock spring replacement with stiffer spring

Am i supposed to:
>reinstall all my components; in this case rear shock spring
>begin the process of setting sag, at least i confirmed that to be 105cm, still have to review the maths when using tape measurer
>begin at sofest spring settings
Well up until that point, on the front forks at least, it makes sense to me
But aside that, i havent touched them and im only replacing rear shock spring
So, did i answer my own question and im thinking too hard? Just set the sag and give it a test ride basically at this point?
Maybe its me overthinking the swingarm and the linkages as far as adjustment settingd exist for a realm of frint fork vs rear suspension: though similar realms of the 'ku; wisdom and understanding only comes from the isolation of each of their differences

Its also a blue spring and i have a red honda; what gives. This sould be easy for me, its probably because it isnt red spring or something, idk

First day of owning a bike complete. Did all basic maintenance myself in half a day (gear oil, spark plug, shocks, air filter, etc) except for brakes & tires which I got done down the street. Bikes are so easy to work on, holy shit. Air filter was fucked and falling apart, spark plug was black, gear oil was black, and maybe I should’ve drained the premix tank instead of topping it off, but oh well.
Wheel bearings are bad, front brake cable needs to be replaced at some point. Brake shoes were down to the metal. Definitely was lied to by the seller.
Also got cut off by a mini-van in my first 20 minutes and had to slam on my brakes; driver didn’t see me at all (or just didn’t care).

When you ride a motorcycle, it’s not just that people are on their phones / not paying attention, but some people try to intentionally kill you don’t they?
>>
>>29049209
My riding experience is like 20 hours but couple days ago during my practical exam I was with an examiner following me in his car marked as a driving school vehicle behind. I was wearing a bright yellow west with a driving school sign on it, of course was following the prescribed speed and signs during the exam. And in thar one hour I encountered two cars, that turned without letting me go first, so I had to rapidly pull clutch and brake. It's also the country that is usually praised by the drivers quality and generally chill people.
>>
>>29049209
>but some people try to intentionally kill you don’t they?
As time progresses I feel more and more like there are NPCs among us with the sole purpose of reducing quality of life. Then there are plain unhappy people that seem like they're either trying to make you afraid of enjoying your motorcycle or have watched too many FAFO videos and are trying to create a situation where they can re-enact their head canon.
This guy was eating my ass out then when he finally passes, he passed partially in my lane. But i'm stuck living between a poor white town and a poor black city so this is the norm.

>>29049260
As my instructors said: You're the only one telling the bike how fast to go. I wouldn't bother with it just because you'll get insurance raped for the first couple of years. Even getting something that's a 900 on paper is much cheaper and easier than something classed as 1000.

Get whatever you want. I know a guy that started on a Hayabusa and others that started on GSXR-1000's. I started on a R6. But they're missing the point. Its about buying a comfortable bike that light weight and less likely to fuck you in the ass if you whisky throttle leaned over. Its also the idea that a rider is highly likely to lay a bike down in the first six months, so a cheap 300-500cc bike is basically a throw away bike.

Looking back I wish I started on something like a SV650.

Luv me Ural. The exhaust, or rather the left exhaust "silencer" can bracket cracked today first thing in the morning and left the pipe hanging from the head.
Ditched the adjustable brackets and welded in 3mm thick steel flat bar to the exhausts and bolted it to the frame, ain't going anywhere no more.
Still got a couple of hundred kilometres to go for today.

There are lighter options, but yeah
If i were to redo vfr ownership all over, id get the proper generation for gear driven shooms, and id swap out the rear swingarm cause the single sided one weighs like 60 pounds in excess of a traditional one

Vtec can boot in during the middle of a corner if you havent dedicated your rpms to either completely above or below that paradigm shift- this can cause jumpy feedback in the middle of a corner or the rear end to jiggle and potentially slide out
You would have to be a real moron for this to increase the risk of a layover entirely though, if you get a vtec model just be mindful of where you are in the powerband vefore entering the corner and where you will likely be cruising on it during the corner
If you set up for entering in corners prevtec and WOT the apex thinking youll get better traction and be faster out, you can potebtislly get a vtec death wobble

But i never crashed mine, only dropped it like 3 or 4 times cause its a gay center of gravity
I never dropped or felt at a loss of control with the zx14r and never dropped it and it weighed more, but i think the longer wheelbase and lower center mass helped with that one

>>
>>29049792
Vfr800 just has a strange center of gravity, but its a very smooth fun machine and beginner friendly
Again, i only ever dropped it at a standstill, twice was from experiments on the centerstand, one was from poor angle parking and the grade of the road, and then another was when i tried riding it first time with mx boots, hopped on, missed a peg with my foot when kickstand already up and then mumbo jumbo salsa spill my spagetti

I went through like 2 sets of levers on the one side after replacing oem with cheap adjustaburs

I love finland, but never been much outside Helsinki yet. The moskvich is a cool find, for real, but beautiful? I don't know. It's a trabant+ in terms of looks for me. Your bike steals the frame, no contest. Do you have a hard on for soviet hardware or you just found a random Moskvich?

That's a good thing, I really like the looks of the Trabant. I'd say the Trabant looks better than the 407 Moskvich, especially the Universal/wagon 601 Trabants.
I might have a slight interest in Soviet hardware, but I also found a random Moskvich in the middle of nowhere.
