Pulchras fat tits
It takes a real man to properly ride a soocter, but once you master it you realize that guys who ride any other type of bike are a faggot.Sport bikes are obviously faggots. Dirt bike guys seem cool at first glance but they're on their little cuck bikes that weigh 250lbs because they're scared of taking a $15,000 500 lb beast into the woods. Dual sports are eternally cucked, theyre like dirt bikes for guys that cant afford a truck.but the real thrill comes when you realize you're doing what no one else can. No one else can go 100 mph on the highway, straight to blasting down single track trails on a bike that takes retard strength to control. You see guys in their side by sides and know their wife is probably getting fucked by a scooter rider.The problem is the larpers. Scooters are dentist bikes. I'd start fucking these dudes up for stolen valor but I never see them delivering ubereats.

>>29077649Kill yourself
>>29077791>Neighbours kidsTeenage girls?
>>29077793One 15 and one 5. I gave one of my mopeds to the 15yo when she got her license and her dad asked me if I had a bike to sell.
>>29077791dread game. Arcane knowledge but once you have it you cannot unsee it
>4 fucking dbt threadcan we like wait until bump limit or page 9-10 next time?this isnt a fucking gacha general
bros i had no idea how comfy a night ride with distant lightning could be. sure the fear of rain is there but every flash was beautiful.
>>29077822They are in the bump limit already.
>>29077829i meant to say post limit
>>29077830I backtracked previous threads, the largest was 369 posts, and the median is around 320 posts. So this thread was created within specs, and I see no issue. I think older threads don't get archived because there's not enough threads in /o/ to do so.
>>29077822Can't fucking stand this cunt holy fucking shit dude, every fucking day a stale as fuck jeet blog thread
>>29077841exactly because /o/ isnt a fast boardyou dont need to shit up new threads the moment it hit bump limitthis isnt /vg/no need to keep making new threads just to have same ritual postings every 310 posts
Threadbreaker anon, I summon thee!
Imagine washing and lubing your chain every week lmao
>>29077884what do you ride? a bus?
>>29077884I find it relaxing :(
>>29077649 Not sure if there's any drawfrens here but, how do you draw badges accurately if you're not working digitally?
>>29077914You mean how to draw small things with a lot of detail? I assume traditional-medium artists just use a bigger sheet of paper, or I guess you could get a magnifier. (Not a drawfag, but I've thought about trying to get into it)
What's considered a low interest rate in the US as of now? Trying to get an idea of what to aim for. I briefly looked on a few credit union websites and they said their lowest rate for motorcycles was 6%-7%. Suzuki has an special offer for 4%. Is it unrealistic to want 1%-3%? It's been awhile since I've looked at loans so I don't know percentages.
Who keeps making these stupid threads with the stupid pictures?>>29077959>Is it unrealistic to want 1%-3%LMAO
Saw Akira last night in theaters. Had a kino night ride to the theater and back home with lightning storms approaching from the northwest. I thought this was a movie about a teen bosozuko gang. I've been a weeb for twenty years and I've been riding for twelve, but I never caught the whole plot of the movie. I really thought it was going to be predominately about the capsule gang and their motorcycling. Still, fantastic movie, I see why it's perennially on "best anime movies of all time" lists. >>29077277The tails on bikes need to be larger. The abbreviated pillion area is what makes the giant overhang necessary. I think they look pretty ridiculous even after you remove it.
>>29077970Going into akira thinking it was going to be a biker gang movie and then getting AKIRA actually sounds like a kino night out. Glad you enjoyed it anon.One day they will make an NM4 which is not a scooter. And on that day I will go bankrupt
>>29077927 This part specifically. It seems incredibly hard to draw freehanded.
>>29077984>>29077914>freehandedlol lmao even. this shit looks like its traced or rotoscoped
>>29077884>sacrifices 30 ponies because he's too lazy to spend 10 minutes cleaning a chain every once in a whileOof, yikes, ouch
>>29077990 This nigger couldn't even bother tracing it correctly
>>29077841>within specsWhat fucking specifications, you dumb retard? Where's the proscribed number written down? The point of making a new thread is that the old one is falling off the board, not "oh we reached a number." Are you autistic? How fucking inept do you have to be to think that the system works on a post number limit?There are four fucking generals on the catalog right now. That is obvious evidence that you're making them too fast. Stop being a fucking loser that tries to curate things and let the threads run naturally. Just fucking stop. How fucking worthless do you have to be that this has to be explained to you by multiple people? I can't even imagine how insufferable you must be to the people you inflict yourself on in real life.
as with all baking drama, the trick is to let the old thread die BEFORE making the new thread. Then we are never in this position>go onto /o/>no results for searching /dbt/NOW you make the new thread
>>29077841The oldest thread is finally on page 9. That means the other old threads (both of them) could have stayed there to make a ~900 post thread. You're literally killing conversational development by making the new threads the instant they hit bump limit. You're actively doing a disservice to the thread, you realize that, right? You're not helping or being helpful.>inb4 but people can just go back to those threads and stay in them and...That's not how people work and you know that. Any functioning adult knows that implicitly. All you're doing is imposing your own idiosyncratic time limit on everyone else. It's antisocial and bizarre behavior.
>>29078044The jannies have been cleaning threads after they get abandoned so the threads become bump-able again.
>>29078020>fake numbers based on assumptions that the chain in brand new, has perfect tension, is 100% clean and properly lubricated, and these assumptions applied to every motorcycle with a chain, while the % losses for a shaft is taken from 120yo textbook where the shafts were made from cast iron with +-1 inch precision instead of taking the real less than 10% loss in modern shaft drivesYIKES
>only 2 months of riding left in cuckanadaits not fair
>>29078055You didn't ride it anyway.
>>29078055where in Canada
>>29078062Albuquerque
the guy didnt want my vrodi guess im stuck with it for awhile might finally but that new tyre then
>>29078066I can trade you an Ural for it
>>29078050You mean a 20%+ loss. Cope.
>>29078065yeah doesnt seem ideally suited to motorcycling out that way
>>29078055Throw some shinko 705's on it and ball out.
>>29078037>the trick is to let the old thread die BEFORE making the new thread. Then weThat's not really how these threads work. This is basically my daily blog, so if you post something I'll usually respond to it. New threads get made automatically whenever my JavaScript decides it's time for one, rather than waiting for the previous thread to die.If you have any questions or concerns about how it works, feel free to email me at cocksucker.nobike@yahoo.P.S. Thanks to the jannies for keeping the threads cleaned up.
>>29078079There's no need to lie if you want to prove your point kiddo. The BMW tests on shafts with one 90° bevel gear set are showing more than 90% efficiency, all other tests with two 90° bevel gear sets are showing respectively 80% efficiency. The post has shown a BMW drive train hence less than 10% losses. Cope.
>>29078037letting the thread die is annoying, but it should be on page 9 or 10 with 350 ish posts
>>29078114>letting the thread die is annoying,Those days are over as I'm constantly running a script called postCounter.js and it keeps up with the post count, as soon as it hits 310 a pre baked thread gets made, I get a quick prompt on my cell phone to solve a captcha and the thread is up.
>>29078111Ok, you're not wasting 20% efficiency for the sake of being lazy, it's 10%. Waow.
>>29078119Maybe you outta change it to check once the thread hits page 9 or something
>>29078124>Maybe you outta changIf you have any requeats please email me
>>29078137I'm not sending you an email. I posted it here. Can you not read unless it's in an email?
>>29078119Impersonating now? Not cool.
>>29078121>>29078124>>29078141Ignore this retard, he's trolling.
bretty fun camera angle on my phone mount
In couple of years we all are gonna end up with Euro 9 piss twins with silent exhaust, bicycle chain drive, vegan leather seats, inoffensive plastic shapes, cheapest mild steel frames and automatic clutches, don't we?
>>29078167Buy old bikes.
>>29077649Always been a "sit-up" bike guy (first pic) but I'm now considering Harley-Davidson type bikes as my next purchase (bottom right pic)How do they ride?
>>29078172It's really uncomfortable but your knees won't start to hurt after a few hours on the saddle
>>290778842 minutes ill never get back, I HATE IT SO MUCH BROS!
Are full system exhausts going to all about the same performance wise, so I ought to find the one I like the sound and look of most? Don't know shit when it comes to street bikes but the exhaust on my street triple seems like a boat anchor
>>29078172Like dogshit and you get death wobble at 60mph
>>29078199They all sound the same , the engine is what matters.
UK bike market is fucking sexy now its the end of summer. If only I had a job. Never seen so many clean 954s for sale.
>>29077970The opening scene is the best part of the entire movie. Akira rides on the motorcycle fight and being many Westerners first exposure to an adult anime. Akira and Ninja Scroll are extremely overrated because college kids in the 80s and 90s were titillated by the sex and violence in high quality animation.
>>29078205This is incredibly wrong
>>29078172Ignore the people repeating stale memes. Harleys are very comfortable, largely because they are very customizable. The aftermarket is bottomless, and any given Harley can be made to fit exactly (you) the rider in the riding position you like best. The rear suspension is adjustable and the seats are easily and cheaply changed for things like leg length or cushioning.
I like the way it sucked out for todays ride
>>29078240>Harleys are very comfortableVery comfortable in terms of choppers or very comfortable comparing to adventure bikes?
>>29078172Really comfortable. What a lot of people don't realize about forward controls is that they often come with floorboards, and the floorboards are long, so they give you a lot of foot positions. If you just have your toes on the floorboards of, say, a heritage classic, your knees are slightly bent. So you have a very wide variety of seating positions. The old days of uncomfortable suspension are long gone too for cruisers. Go ride a cruiser from Harley or Indian and you will see that I'm right, don't listen to the parrots who have never so much as been in the same room as a cruiser and are blithely repeating gay californian journalists who have always hated cruisers for having the temerity to be purchased predominately by the chuds who bullied them in whatever state they were born in.
>>29078225I was pretty happy that the violence for the most part was not graphic, I think that usually takes away from movies, there have been some modern anime that are really bad for this, and adult oriented American cartoons like Invincible are, in my opinion, totally ruined. There are a couple of scenes where the death is brutal, but it's over very quickly and not dwelled on, and the characters actually react in a normal fashion to seeing someone brutally killed. They show shock, they're nauseous, they're afraid. I don't know if perhaps there was some kind of censorship in the version I saw, which was R rated, but there was no sex scene. One woman has her shirt ripped and they briefly animate her tits, and there's another couple of background characters who are groping each other in public while making out to drive home the "city of hedonism" points the main characters are making at the time.
>>29078205I suspect that's not true at all as pipe geometry is going to have pretty noticable effects on sound an performance
>>29078240I just think they look awful
>>29078242Why not nx500 at this point?>>29078217Stolen, prob
>>29078255It's pretty obvious if you've ever been near any two of the newer honda 500cc bikes. They all sound really different. Even the scrambler and rebel sound really different and they're essentially the same bike with different exhausts.>>29078261When i bought this I actually did try out an nx500 and I didn't like how it felt.
>>29077649Just how dangerous are they exactly?I'm thinking of getting a bike (been a cagecuck all my life ofc) but I want to know beforehand.If you don't do stupid shit like wheelies or getting in tight and risky spots, and obey the speed limits, how safe are bikes?
>>29078244I'm not going to make up a comparison in my head and pass it off as fact. I've never ridden a chopper or an adventure bike. What I have ridden is thousands of miles on Harley touring bikes. I've been on the road for days on end travelling across the country, sunrise to sunset, stopping only for gas, food, and the odd scenic photograph. Being uncomfortable isn't something I enjoy, and I won't endure it just to look cool to strangers or claim bragging rights. I love my bike, it's comfy like an old pair of pants.
>>29078258>I just think they look awfulMe too. That's why you should look at Indian Bobber instead, which looks very nice and kinda close to modern looks of Kawasaki Vulcan S.
>>29078146>that reply timeGet a fucking life you faggot freak
>>29078270I've always fancied those downwards facing rear view mirrors. Shame I can't install them on my bike
>>29078255So for your bike, are the exhaust manufacturers going to make multiple different headers that wildly affect the sound? No. They're going to have a different shaped can on the back that is 99% different just for looks.
>>29077649>for /o/dbt/!What the fuck is o/dbt ?
>>29077884Man the 1250rs.....It accelerates so hard yet it makes the experience feel totally sterile like an elevator ride.
>>29078266i'm gonna have to put this in a pastebin eventuallyon average, they are 30 times more dangerous than cars. For the best riders they are about 5 times more dangerous than cars. Taking the total average of safety and distance travelled, you have a 99.9% chance of not dying a year, which works out to about 1/20 chance of dying over a fifty year period. If you're super well sorted, and ride the average amount, you have a 99.9998% chance of surviving fifty years.
>>29078258I can't be mad about that. We like what we like.
>>29078270I think the Indian Bobber and the Kawaki Vulcan S are tremendously hideous. THIS is a beauty
>>29078266It's a lot safer than you'd think but also a lot more dangerous than a car. You need to make peace with the fact that it's dangerous and if you get in a wreck you're a lot more likely to die or be maimed.>>29078276So you're saying the baffles make no difference in sound? The thing specifically on the bike to change the sound doesn't change the sound at all?
>>29077799>One 15that's why
>>29077822avatarfagging is a bannable offence.
>>29078278You forgot to remove name >>29078280>i'm gonna have to put this in a pastebinGood idea, would be good to add it to thread pastebin, maybe it even can be curated for each type of bike, also look at >>16832630
>>29078281>>29078258There's also a big difference between skulls and tassels/chrome/old school leather studded bags, big spoked wheels, whitewall tires, huge old man touring fenders, etc, and the "west coast"/club style. I really wouldn't ride anon's touring bike exactly how he has it set up, but I'd be much more inclined to ride this Dyna, all jacked up with slimmer fenders.
>>29078280>i'm gonna have to put this in a pastebinHalf the fucking thread at any given time you fucking samefagging freak FUCK OFF FUCK THESE GAY JAVA SCRIPT THREADS HOW THE FUCK DO YOU REPLY TO EVERY GOD DAMN POST WTF fucking ridiculous shameless newfaggot holy shit how do I unsubscribe from this shit
>>29078285The stock muffler is going to be a breadbox with a huge catalytic converter and most likely resonator chambers. Almost all aftermarket mufflers are fiberglass packed, the only difference is whether or not the decibel killer insert is removable or not, or how big it is. The exception is those little beercan ones with the hexagonal mesh that basically aren't a muffler at all.
>>29078283>THIS is a beautyLooks kinda gay by today's standards.
how the fuck is every 3rd post this MF holy shit I can't even right now, it's literally daily chat with a jeet thread, one FUCKING jeet
>>29078300It's crazy that there's all these differences and it makes no difference on the sound no matter what
>>29078293Kill yourself you faggot freak, JUST FUCKING TAKE A NAP HOW how the fuck are you every other post at any given time in any given thread no bike fucking FREAK
Someone offered me this for my 01' vfrTempted to do it ngl, but that fucking V4 man. Just too damn good dood. Also broads like riding pillion on the viffer
>>29077649What the FUCK is this shit dude where are all the white posters????
>>29078280The math isn't right, I was thinking about this the last time I saw it postedFatality rate for passengers in motor vehicles is 1.13 per hundred million mile. For motorcyclists 31.20 per hundred million miles. For motorcycle police, cited last time, it is about 5.3 per hundred million miles. The average man drives 16,550 miles per year. The average motorcyclist rides 2,120 miles per year. So if you add motorcycling as a hobby to the driving you're already doing, we can do the math on yearly and cumulative risk. In a given year, you, with the average risk, and the average number of miles driven, you have a 99.9813% chance of not dying in a car crash. With the average distance ridden and the average risk, you have a 99.934% chance of not dying in a motorcycle crash. The best riders have a 99.9888% chance of not dying in a motorcycle crash. That means, if you're amongst the best riders in America, you're more likely to die in a car crash than a motorcycle crash. Over fifty years of riding and driving, these numbers are 0.931% chance you die in a car crash, 3.254% chance you die in a motorcycle crash (if you suck), 0.560% chance you die in a motorcycle crash (if you're really good).
>>29078296hey man, i'm not the OP, ive just replied a few times about this question recently and i'm kind of tired of writing it out >>29078301todays standards are riding a literal bug, todays standards suck dick>>29078337thank you for the reply, i'm gonna double check my math, but the numbers are so different i'm surprised if i made a mistake that large. not that i haven't in the past...

>>29078342I am a white American tyvm Take your meds, I’m sorry you don’t like the guy
>>29078305Jesus, anon, work on your reading comprehension. Stock sounds like a vacuum cleaner. All aftermarket will sound throatier, in about the same way. The little beercan ones sound WAY fucking louder and marginally throatier than a full sized aftermarket can. That's about it. Doesn't matter whether you buy delkevic for cheap or Yoshimura for more money.

>>29078426>FZR750Yeah, it's round. Like I said the rectangular shapes on the new one look like Lego to me instead of retro. Retro is round by definition.

>>29078690im a broke nigga without access to machine tools to build a real "biek" from scratch but lack a license because of abusive legal structures requiring you already own a bike to do so much as a "balance test"unironically thinking of financing a legit Talaria or Surron and drilling a few holes for turn signals instead
>>29078688checked
>>29078694>machine tools to build a real "biek" from scratchWhat?
>>29078694A used DRZ, KLX, KLR, DR, XR, or XT would be so much cheaper.
>>29078700those would attract police attention and be seized immediately
>>29078707Are you joking around? A dual sport is just about the least conspicuous motorcycle.
>>29078709without plates though it is "unlicensed motor vehicle" rather than "amazon duicycle"and despite karen complaints, unlicensed dirt bikes and dual sports trigger cops more than shitty electrics even when haphazard pedals arent bolted to them due to "street takeover" derangement
>>29078712I rode my DRZ without a plate for years. Maybe it's regional. Here, the attention is on sport bikes. Where you're at, the cops probably have enough free time to fuck with kids on their pit bikes. You could always just register it and have a plate.
>>29078714here people take pit bikes and electrics on bike paths without getting hassled because they're just "fancy bicycles" but for some reason they seethe about all legitimate motorcycles on the road normallyit's boomerville and everyone is retarded, including and especially me (but me in different ways that are yet equally autistic, preventing me from taking a pit bike on the bike path in good faith)
>>29078718Oh, okay. Only you know your path forward then. good luck, my friend.

>>29078742>>29078751Is it just a bolt to hold the rear tire fender onto the tail? If so the other 3 bolts holding it on are probably enough anyways.I can't tell how it's supposed to be secured into the plastic, but the plastic is either stripped or some glue failed.It looks like metal threads pressed into a plastic piece right? either try and reglue it, or ignore it.
>>29078754That's fine I think.To get the most out of an RE you need to know how to wrench.The bike has about 2000 miles before you have to check the valves, which is easy.If you don't want to wrench and going to get the dealer to do everything, I would recommend a different bike.

there is no such thing off-road when your country doesnt have paveroad

FuckDid not think when I entered this hobby that I'd be buying a Harley.I don't know if it's something they're putting in the water, or if it's the prairie roads.I need a Harley now.
>>29078922then buy a metric cruiser
>>29078924Nopedoesn't feel right. I've owned nothing but Japanese bikes since I started riding decades ago.But the pushrod, aircooled, carbureted potato engines call to me.I'm going to buy a sportster and make it a kickstart.
>>29078900the cold kiwi in waiouru
>>29078925I get it. started on sports bikes and eventually ended up craving an old air-cooled bass drum. not a Harley tho. I wanted a Virago or a shadow or something. ended up with a CB750 custom.
>>29078928I want to get a dual sport just to be able to visit places like this. I would love to ride around New Zealand at least once before I die.
>>29078937Viragos are GOOOODI had one and the starter always sounded like something was broken, but the bike itself sounded really good.I miss that thing.To pair with my future Harley I'd like an old oil cooled Suzuki 750 i4 engine.
>>29078937Nice CB by the way.There's something to be said about the fact I still see those Hondas going across the country along with new BMW adv bikes.
>>29078940there's plenty of Harleys, Ducati, a goldwing or two at this event. some guy even won the (dirt) hill climb on gixxer 600 or something.
>>29078951I've tried going on some trails on my CBF and it felt sketchy to say the least. I'm sure it's doable and maybe I need to git gud, but it feels like I'm torturing the bike and myself.
>>29078955could have been the trails. off-road stuff can range from smoother than some roads to 'Jesus fucking Christ what the fuck, I'm gonna die'
>>29078955nuh uh nigga.Get a dual sport with some offroad tires.It's a game changer
>>29078963Most trails here are a combination of loose rocks, unstable dirt and pine needles, so it was definitely the trails.>>29078968Yes, I believe it would be. Many times I've ridden in paved backcountry roads and seen trails forking off that I would like to follow but realistically can't.
You riding on gravel roads is not an off-ROAD!
Fuck, just did my first long ride ever (about an hour and a half through hills and stuff) and my ride ankle hurts, my fingers feel a bit tingly, and my helmet is giving me a headache (might be a bit small). Kinda fun but I can't imagine doing this for long trips.
>>29079001I can only imagine how soft and pretty your hands are
>>29079011ngl, I think if I threw in some fake AI woman's face I could make a lot off my feet.
>>29079001well what bike were you on?the whole finger ting are from the so call buzzhelmet just too new keep wearing it the sore back, knee and ankles generally from just bad riding position, but usually just shifting it around and quick stretching help
Why the fuck has the same guy made the last 5 threads. What the fuck is going on on dbt.
>>29079076>the last 5 threadsIt's some faggots script auto bakin'. If you have any questions or concerns you are to send an email to him.
>>29079059Thanks for the tips. It's a 2 stroke cafe racer. I had the right peg in the middle of my right foot but when I moved the foot up and rested the heel on the peg l it helped after a bit (I have a bad ankle so could just be that). Yeah, helmet is brand new so I hope it gets better. It's snug but not bad normally. Just a scenic drive I normally do in my car but it takes twice as long in this thing since I was going the speed limit.
>>29079121Anyone have experience with these? I'm thinking of getting one of these as a beginner bike next, honda clubman gb250. They're about $2k here and I can avoid inspections if I stay under the 250cc limit. It should handle the hills around here a bit better and seems like something I could keep long-term for local roads (I could take my car on the highways when I need to do long road-trips).
>>29079124Looks ugly to be honest, never understood cafe bikes, except maybe for pic related, but those feel like more effort than just stripping a bike.More about pic related: https://www.bikeexif.com/custom-suzuki-gs550e-wimoto
>>29078940Beautiful topcase
>>29079139I like how sports bikes look too, but they're not really a good fit for what I want to do (short trips to the store, drives through the mountains). And also I'm still a beginner so I'd get stuck either buying a slow one (weird) or a fast one (too dangerous). I'm not a fan of a lot of other types of bikes like choppers and such but I like how these look. The seated position is also comfy, and even if I go slow it still fits the image so my frens won't laugh at me. >t. don't actually have frens
>>29079139A clubman isn't a cafe racer. It's just a small standard.

what are some bike safety tips you've learned over the years? and what "traditional" safety tips do you ignore because you think they're either dangerous or not usefulI will ride in the proper lane position most of the time, but almost always I'll move around based on road condition, traffic, etc
>>29079225>akiraI still have the VHS even my Mom threw out our VCR.Honestly its not a motorcycle movie, might as well watch One Off if you want an 'anime motorcycle movie'>>29079291You get told to "command your lane" ride in the center or closer to the center line, butIn rural areas you should ride 1st third of your lane (closest to the shoulder) because cagies will be tailgating a truck they want to pass and they're unable to see you without entering a head-on position.
>>29079291Flicker your headlight when you're going through an intersection. I've seen more than a few cars hit their brakes when they were creeping into an intersection I was crossing after doing it.Also ride in the left lane at night because it gives you more time to react to animals going into the road.
>>29079297>>29079298yeah these are generally good tipsanything that improves your visibility, even if it seems a bit gay or overly cautious, is worth it to not get smoked by a cagie not paying enough attention
>>29079139I have cafe racer and boomer era "neo-retro" fatigue
>>29079291day or night i flash (on/off) my brake light when im sitting at a red light and a car is pulling up behind me to stop. I would say there really isnt any bad safety advice. maybe when you are new to riding and they tell you to get all the braking done before a turn- because teaching trail braking when someone is too new, is too much. >Laws are meant for people that need them.Any intersections with a red lights, in my world that I live in, are just suggestions. Most of the time my bike can't trigger the lights to switch. I just wait for no traffic coming and go on the red (left/right/straight across). obviously if there are other cars waiting, they will switch the lights eventually, i wait for the green in that scenario.
>>29079321At least in the US, most states have dead red laws where you can legally run a red light after a certain amount of time if there's no opposing traffic.
>>29078897My luggage rack panel
>>29079291The tips depend on the country where you ride probably. In Germany that's what I've been told to do:1. In city you ride where the right car wheel is going except when there's a row of parked cars, then you ride where car's left wheel goes (makes you safe against sudden opening doors).2. In dense traffic speeds use rear brakes and add front if rear not enough.3. Only one leg is on the ground. If it's left one you always hold read brake, if it's a right leg you always hold front brake.4. On street lights while turning right you stand where the car's left wheel is with only right leg out and hold front brake. And vice versa when turning left you stand where the car's right wheel would be with only left leg out and hold rear brake.5. You never ride parallel to a car with the same speed.6. Your front parts of the feet stand on the pegs, not the rear or middle parts.7. In twisties never start adding or removing throttle and brakes mid turn unless you plan to drop the bike because there's something mid road. You brake before and continue braking with the same force if needed and accelerate after, mid turn only pulling clutch is allowed, no other changes in controls unless you need to drop the bike for some reason.8. Pushing bike more down in turns almost always works on dry pavement unless you freak out and add brakes or drop throttle, that's when you end up in the ditch low sided.9. Always look where you plan to ride, and I guess it's the most important one.
>>29078242how do you like that thing? I'm looking at 250cc and under bikes (saves me a lot on bureaucracy every year) and that one looks like a good bike but I can't get over the exhaust.
I rode my M72 IMZ for 220km today with only 2 issues (left cylinder spark lost, crankshaft rear main seal started leaking) let's see your japscrap attempt to do the same.
>>29079354This is a 500cc so I don't think it'll work for you. I think they make a 250 but I have no idea how it is.I like this one a lot though. I recently took it on a 1500 mile trip and had a pretty good time. Handles well on shit roads and on dirt too.I, for one, like the exhaust. It's very well shielded too so it never gets too hot to touch so it's safe for riding with a passenger too.

Welp I am at a loss regarding this clutch>Clutch lever starts shaking at speeds above 60>Hurley doesn't have a shim for it>Hurley dealer has no idea>cut a credit card, drill out a hole and put it in there>Rattle B gone.tmMy problem is the clutch engagement and measuring this stupid Freeplay system. I don't think even Hurley knows what the true Freeplay is. It was 1-2mm and now its 2-3mm.Regardless would anyone know how to increase the engagement so I can 2 finger clutch without breaking my fingers?did you guys ride your bikes on this beautiful day?
>>29079297Get Bubblegum Crisis (original, not 2040). You'll like it.
/Special collectors edition/ - edition
>>29079628Two finger clutch is boy racer, use your whole hand.
>>29079652Beyond fucking retarded take. I'm not saying you have to two or one finger, heck I use three, but having some level of hand grip on the bars is desirable at almost all times. >>29079628So I see that this is a cable clutch, and that you have an adjustable lever, and j assume a fine adjustment wheel on the perch. Is there another cable length adjustment halfway along the cable somewhere? Extend THAT and it'll (dis)engage sooner on your lever pull.
>dead battery>kickstart>tried to charge battery by riding>turns on with the starter button just fine after 30 minutes>try button again next week after riding (had kickstarted it before I rode) after riding for around the same time>doesn't workokdo I nede to just ride more?

I swear I already posted but 4chan ate my post. Now different anon post shows up as mine. Fucking servers running on Windows XP.The investigation into strong vibes past 5K rpm & cold 1&4 exhaust headers continues. The bike is Yamaha FZ6R/XJ6 2011, inline 4 EFI.I found 600cc forum thread where Yamaha XJ6N owner was having similar issues. Turns out injectors 1&4 would shut off once bike got hot enough. He traced it back to ECU driving channel for those injectors failing, which required him to replace ECU & use immobilizer emulator.To test his hypothesis he bridged injectors 1&4 with 2&3 and his bike started running normally, proving the ECU degradation. I did the same and this is what you're looking at picrelated. I've tested that injectors all click properly from the same diag test before running engine on idle.That didn't fix my problem: 1&4 exhaust headers are still ~2 times colder than 2&3. By the time fans turns on at 100°C, I can still touch header 1&4 with my hand and not get burned.The next logical theory would be that ECU is fucking up ignition instead, since it is a different driving channel on its PCB (mosfets). But I cant test this by bridging since ignition channels are timing depended. I've already tried swapping coils around and did spark test to confirm they all work in principle. But ECU injection/ignition channels could still work okay on tests or even cold engine, and badly on running/hot engine/Any good ideas how one can verify ignition working same between cylinders?I got a cheap Chinese oscilloscope but can't figure out for shit how to work with it.Considering mailing ECU to Netherlands for diagnostics, would set me back something 200 Euros.
>>29079679I don't think I understood it correctly. You get strong engine vibrations past 5k RPM and you think it's an ECU, or what?
>>29079687Yes, strong engine vibrations past 5K RPM and outer cylinders exhaust headers are cold as fuck even on idle. Those outer 1&4 cylinders contribute to RPM since I tried pulling out their injectors & spark plug caps on a running engine, but something is wrong with either their ignition or fueling or air. I've pretty much excluded air and fueling at this point. Plugs for those 1&4 cylinders are also always much dirtier than 2&3 implying they get bad mixture or its combusting badly/untimely.
>>29079667They teach you this at police motorcycle training (using the whole hand) The idea being when you actually need to feather the clutch you want maximum hand speed and maximum precision. I took in PA with a recently retired motorcycle trainer so it’s at least current to the Philly area. Take it for what it’s worth, I guess. >>29079671A week and no start is a dead battery or a dying alternator.
>>29079714>using the whole handThis is only necessary on shit like Harleys. Their clutch pull is through the roof. Meanwhile 90% of euroshit and anything Japanese is easy to get extreme precision with 1 or 2 fingers due to the lighter pull.T. YAMAHA non wrenchlet>>29079691Should have bought a YAMAHA wouldn't have to worry about any of this shit
>>29079489Sex with all of these creatures. Maybe even all at once!
>>29077649Shit thread
>>29079714Police rodeo is basically the one exception, you're going to be doing so much clutch control/tight maneuvering that 4 fingering it does make sense. Everybody who starts/trains on dirtbikes will recoil at the idea of using all four fingers due to wanting a secure grip on the bars as the bike moves around underneath them.
>>29079679efi trouble shooting sounds like hell
>>29079724>police bike traininghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHtDaj0F2Tw
>>29077655>t.
>>29079724Yeah I’ll concede if you’re doing whoops maybe you want to keep three fingers on the bars. But you’ll notice we’re talking about a fucking sportster s >>29079719Clutch pull on my Honda is heavier than the sporty I used to have
>>29079746That habit extends everywhere. A bit of sand or CLIBBINs in a corner where the front washes out for a moment, a bad bump that upsets the bike on pavement, etc.
>>29079719>Should have bought a YAMAHA wouldn't have to worry about any of this shitYou've already made this joke last time I posted here!>>29079725Yeah I miss carbs.
>>29079679Have you pulled the injectors and tried back washing them with injector cleaner? I had an EFI issue that drove me insane that was a plugged injector.
>>29079726this is kinda interesting, but it really puts into perspective what cops can do on 600lb motorcyclesI think Ryan Fortnine said he spent a week on the cop motorcycle course and still failed it
>>29079753Swapped original injectors around, taken out and cleaned them under pressure from carb fluid, replaced them with new Jesben injectors. Nothing helped.
>>29079747It’s more important to have better clutch control in those situations than better grip on the bars. When you grab the clutch it’s not like you let go of the bars.. you’re just grabbing clutch and bars. I think your position is ridiculous. >>29079754Nipponese cops also make it look easy on their sport touring rigs
>>29079754i think the idea is that in such low speed situations and on such heavy bikes you don't have to worry about the front getting awaycop bikes are not just cruisers but are laden down with 9001 kg of equipment on top of already being heavy bikes
>>29077884I bet you let your wife chose your clothes and you have to per sitting down, and close the toilet lid. >He spends overtime with his wifeThe point of a garage is to pretend to be doing work. So you can have time to yourself. Sorry for pic real but I spent 3 hours a night for a week pretending to bag bottles and cans. All I did was hide them in the back where she couldn't see kek.
