There's a Honda NX500 for sale used pretty close to me. I don't know too much about the CB500X/NX500 other than they are kind of like "Halfrica Twins", little half-sized adventure bikes that are mostly for road but you can customize to make for dirt. I'm probably going to be 50/50, so what do you think? I mean it is a hondr no matter what.
>>29087910Rin but I would marry Hane>>29087922We used to have 16-20 year old race queens at every track meet not too long ago. It's an easy way to make money and it's not like it's indecent. Way better work than being forced to work at wal-mart.

>>29088094>30mph is pretty fastSomeone had a crash few days ago, said he was going 80kph in a 60kph zone, said also the primary factor was that he had overinflated his tires to accomodate a passenger earlier, got complacent and left them for his solo ride, and lost traction and had to control crash his corner line through a sign and a thickass street signal lightIs that at all the factor in tires THAT much during those speeds? Or is it more of a degree of angle or he was lying about the speeds?>tfw the news said 170kph in an 80kphEven though the video reel of the crash on news had a 60kph zone and theyre no where near where they allegedly said170kph on the trajectory he had wouldve asploded the bike into pieces i think
>>29088099What the fuck did you just say to me, nobike?
if you were a tiny woman who's 90 pounds with another tiny woman who's 90 pounds would you even need to inflate your tires morealso why do you need more air for carrying a passenger

>>29088069They're meant for thick socks. Revzilla is really good on boot returns, try a few from them.I would not get just regular run of the mill engineer boots. Like Red wings. Red Wings has a really good engineer boot https://www.redwingshoes.com/mens/heritage/engineer-02966.html that I pulled the trigger on a few years ago. I wouldn't wear them riding, they have no slide or crush protection. They're just a fashion statement albeit a very cool one.
>>29088127That's based, the /dbt/ mindset is getting beat up slavshit and turning it into a pretty good bike.May I suggest, if you have the budget. First motorcycle be an XR150L? It's the best budget motorcycle on the market today and $15 of modding gives it several extra horsepower.

Update from previous thread, went up from 38 pilot jets to 40 and 110 main jets to 112. Now it pulls better from low RPM/light throttle, no more flat spot. Plugs are a little darker now but it's not at all fouling them, and the idle quality is improved as well. All in all I'm very happy with it, new exhaust sounds mean, ready just in time for riding weather in Aus.
>>29088230Probably unimportant, but your post means a lost to a carb tuner like myself.
>>29088200Nope. Pure disrespect for that bundle of wires >>29088190>>29088189Nice
>>29088236I guess I can list everything that got me to this point, just for full context.>old plugs were pretty black, not totally fouled but close to it>had the occasional stumble when accelerating from 1/8th throttle under 2.5k rpm>did valve adjustment (had a few tight ones)>removed and cleaned carbies>original jets were 35 and 108, noted the needles and emulsion tubes were different for the inner two carbies>replaced factory exhaust system with the Dominator one in the pic>airbox mod (drilled a bunch of holes in the filter housing lol)>4 degree advanced ignition timing plate>bench balanced carbies with a piece of paper, which ended up getting 95% of the way there>got it all back together and it still had a bit of a stumble, takeoff from idle wasn't quite good, plugs were showing a bit leanThankfully I was able to get the bowls off to put the bigger jets in without taking removing anything. Also ended up replacing the idle mixture needle screws and putting some grease on the threads for them, that let me dial in the idle a lot better. I've done my time as a car mechanic, we had a workshop dyno and did the occasional bit if tuning on stuff like Holleys and SUs - I figured bikes aren't too different to get dialed in.
i should go see the ocean before summer ends
Underseat exhaust looks 500x better than a side tube. Fuck you all and your degenerate opinions. If you disagree go kill yourself right now.
>>290881142 stroke engines on bikes have had expansion chambers ever since the 70s. I don't think you can find any 2 stroke made since the 80s without one, except the greatest 2 stroke bike ever grace mankind, the Izh Planeta and Jupiter. If you put expansion chambers on them, it'd just be way too fast for mere mortal men.

I made a post about learning wheelies on my own 800cc bike. Finally I gave up and bought stunting lessons in a nearby town. They provide their own Duke 390, I hope it'll be good.I got two unrelated questions:- Any cool apps to find nice roads in your country? Installed a few ones but the ones I opened are lame.- And is there such a thing as track suit looking bike pants? I'd like some that you can wear and train with at the gym?
>>29088334I am overjoyed to see wisdom has found you anon. Let us know how the stunting lessons went.Ask the other bikers about good roads, they'll know. And no, bike pants are made to stand up to the friction of a paved road against your thigh at 60mph, they will never be comfy gym wear. The best thing you're going to get for mobility is stretchy kevlar jeans.

I have a squeaky brake issue and lever suddenly felt weird. Been told I need to take pads out of calipers, squeeze lever just enough to get the cylinders out, clean everything with a toothbrush + brake cleaner, then apply very thin red grease around the seals. Sounds good?
>>29088264>>29088266>>29088183Cute posts
>>29088364>squeaky brake issue and lever suddenly felt weirdExpand.This sounds like they want you to do a caliper rebuild anon. It's not difficult but you'll have to bleed the brakes as well. Why not try cleaning the calipers, greasing the slide pins and putting some copper slip on the sliding surfaces of the pads before you do all that?
>>29088341>I am overjoyed to see wisdom has found you anon. Let us know how the stunting lessons went.Thanks anon, yeah I'll let you know. > hey will never be comfy gym wearWell, it doesn't even need to be comfy, just comply to the style of gym wear so I'm not that guy who comes and train in jeans. But yeah I get what you're saying.
>>29088364What is this bike?
>>29088364When I rebuild calipers, I just put a little bit of brake fluid on the seals to get them on.
>>29088374Oh no i won't actually take the cylinders out, just make the protrude a bit and clean them.Noticed it coming back from a ride where i heard a strange sound and felt like lever had less pressure. Went somewhere the next morning and had same issue, no fluid leaking and noise went away after riding slowly.
>>29088299Its a Yamaha alright, ugly either way.
Looking VFR800 at a marketplace starting 2005 and sorted by lowest price they all have like 25k-40k km on them and occasional 60k. When I do the same for BMW GS's they all start with 60k km for the lowest priced ones and for beyond 100k.Apparently anon hating VFRs is correct nobody ACTUALLY rides them touring bikes, people just love owning them in their garage for some reason.

Today I saw a really cool Triumph ADV, IDK what it was but it was really cool. I guess Triumph makes desirable bikes. I thought Triumph was like a bad mix of Suzuki and Ducati, cheap shit and expensive to maintain lol.

Recommend me please a first beater bike for this fall and early spring, so I can use it to gain some experience after the driving school and not destroy my dream bike right away. I got a full A category, so it needs to be 400cc+/50hp+ with at least two cylinders, plus ABS. Also I will need to sell it, so old unpopular bikes probably will not be good.
>>29088646That’s a great pic. Nice framing of the mountain in the mirror. Where is this?
>>29088679>beater bikeWhat's your budget and what kind of bike are you looking for? ABS is relatively new-ish on bikes (2016+) so you're not going to be able to get a really old bike for super cheap.My recommendation would be an NC750. It's not the fastest or the most exciting thing, but they are very friendly to ride, practical, comfy and great on the highway. They even sound pretty good with an exhaust too.
>>29088654They pay 150 or so per cup of nut btwPlasma can get you cash too.It adds up.

>>29088507You're looking at the wrong generation that's why dummy. 4th, 5th, and 6ths are the real vfrs that get ridden. Rest are shadows of their former selves.
>>29088705>What's your budget and what kind of bike are you looking for?As cheap as possible and I'd say something with a windshield, since it will not be summer anymore. I was looking at vstroms, tracer, versys, fazer etc, and the ABS in vstroms started in 2007...
>>29088711Well then vstrom it is. Is it a good value? Or better pay 1k less for older generations?
>>29088715>looking at vstrom tracer versys....its too late nowyou will now be in forever choice paralysis and will forever always wonderif the other option was better if this is strictly stepping stonejust buy used japanese bike at near its own depreciation floor so you dont lose too much money when you upgradeanother option to throw out there would be something like Tiger Sport 660 and older Tiger 800these are the same price as vstroms >as cheap as possibleCB500x>>29088726personally I would grab the last gen with single headlight at leasttoo old and you will have problem selling it

>>29088806Would be normal, it's an air-cooled inline 4 so the inner cylinders are usually set a bit richer to help keep them cool. From what I gather some bikes will just have the same needles but bigger jets for the inner 2.

Bought myself a ninja 400 ABS as my first motorcycle, super pumped to ride it. My only concern is the position of the clutch lever, it feels like my boot barely fits into it and that I might accidental downshift or just kick it. I don’t have any specific riding boots yet, is it possible that my steel toe boots are too thick at the front?

>>29089253>>29089258>ninja 400 ABSCool>shift leveradjust it.

>buy super low mileage carbed Bonneville >it barely runs until fully warmed up, and even then the engine still lags and surges>/dbt/ says to just ride it and maybe run seafoam through it so I do that all summer>doesn't help at all>mfwWhat do? The most unique clue as to what might be wrong is that as I accelerate from a light, I'll suddenly lose almost all engine power, it'll get much quieter, but if I keep twisting the throttle it might eventually come around and accelerate again. It feels/sounds kinda like it's running on only one cylinder when it dies like that. Should I change the spark plugs maybe? Or is the carb messed up?
>>29089361>carbed BonnevilleYou fucking idiot. Should've just got one with fuel injection and ABS. Stop falling for memes.
>>29089366>buy one with a fake carb and fake engine cooling finsGenuinely the gayest thing I can imagine. But you're right that I fucked up, now I want a modern Jap bike that just works. But I still need to get this thing running well to sell it.
>>29089361Suddenly losing power on acceleration then getting it back sounds like maybe your main jet might be clogged while your idle jet is fine. Have you rebuilt the carb?
>>29088187There is an anon with a low displacement Honda that has a cast aluminum frame that looks super cool. I like that one.
>>29088892You simply ignored the question I'm asking.
>>29089294Yeah but I want CanAm to sponsor me on a transnational trip on a new 400CC, Canadian built CanAm>>29089440I directly answered your question.Electric bikes make no sense for Canada. Most of all they make the least sense with bike you're supposed to "adventure" with.
>>29089441>make the least sense with bike you're supposed to "adventure" with.It's easy to adventure on an e bike. Just carry a solar charger, a tent, and food for the several days it would take to recharge enough to drive straight to a dealer that sells ICE engine adventure bikes.
>>29089452Y'know, even though you're being ironic, that does seem like a fun, novel situation.The only issue being most people have deadlines as the world has not collapsed yet.
>>29089379Damn looking it up that sounds like exactly my issue. At least, one issue. But maybe the idle bits are also partially clogged. No I've never touched the carb as I was hoping the seafoam would fix it. Anyways thanks anon.

I will get my girlfriend to hold the feeler gauge when i redo this to make sure i am not tightening and loosening a million times.All in all a gpod learning experience. I rate 7/10 and hope to improve.
There's a Pan America near me for 9K, I am so fucking tempted. I do not like Harley products, however: That is an underrated bike.
why isn't there a le mons-like race series for bikes? 8-hour endurance race with a 30 minute break in the middle, buy a ratty bike for $200, fix the brakes and the fire hazards, get a full set of certified gear and you're good to go. solo only, no mechanics, you both ride and fix shit, refuelling included.
>>29088970>Just find an actual foid maneven the bike thread is a constant reminder of my loneliness and ineptitude as a functional human being god I wish I could kiss my bike and she would turn into a beautiful princess like the story with the frog but I tried it and got paint around my mouth
>>29089587MotoGP really isn't that popular. Not compared to cars. There are Enduro races like that which are off-road, but there's a much lower audience for a touring race.
>>29089587It actually seems pretty stupid that Harley doesn't sponsor something like this since they should clean the floor for cruisers but the problem in general is that almost every sportsbike CEO is an out of touch boomer selected because they were friends with someone and not because they have creative ideas. I like Yamaha's CEO but he is fine with things the way they are because his bikes win every race.
>>29088930have you heard of our lord and savior cfmoto?
>>29088930saarSAAARRConsider Royal Enfield for cheap, reasonable build quality, silly but funny aesthetics. Do not buy these bikes or CFMoto bikes second hand. Always buy Japanese or German bikes second hand. >>29088879>>29088930>>29088679We have some funny posters who will tell you to go with their brand loyalty till the end even if it's not for you or in your budget. Best to ignore them. The best bike is the one you can find that you are most likely to ride and afford. VStrom is a pretty renowned beginner bike because it's a very cheap V-twin. Which typically have very forgiving power curves while also being extremely durable with very promising performance. Really, the only downside for a beginner is the fact that it is not a light bike. It says adventure but it's still a 500 lb bike. It is made primarily for touring. Think sitting your ass on a seat for 6+ hour rides. Start and stop in the city may be intimidating for that reason for a beginner. That said, in terms of touring or adventure bikes, it's the most forgiving of them all.
>>29089609Oh and remember, the new Vstroms, the 800s, are not V-Twins. They are Parallel twins
I've got a friend in Melbourne who insists that people think he's a cop because of his white helmet. Is that a thing in Australia? If I buy a white helmet will drivers behave themselves around me?
>>29089626>If I buy a white helmet will drivers behave themselves around me?Nta, kek, lmao, even.
>>29089642Honestly I felt stupid typing it
>>29088875Always found Wales to be annoying with traffic desu, fine if you want to sightsee more than full send I suppose.
>>29089626In merry England, occasionally see faggots riding ex police bikes with the livery removed but they put hi-vis stickers on the panniers. They dress with white helmet and hi-vis jacket so people think they might be police from a distance and everyone on the motorway slows down.It's such incredible faggotry but weirdos like this exist who make their cars look like paramedic cars etc.
>>29089626If you get a white fjr with a hi vis vest and white helmet, probably not. We have retards in Brisbane that tail gate easy to spot undercover cop cars.
Alright, anon, what are your thoughts on the z650rs? I was looking for bikes that I could buy with just the insurance check, and it seems to fit what I'd like as far as looks/power/ride type goes. I see a lot of "it is dull" comments, but I also see a lot of people saying it is their favourite bike, so I'm not really sure what the takeaway is. I enjoyed the scrambler, but I did end up riding on highways more than I expected, and a little more power really would have helped there (and I don't want to spend the money on any of the big scramblers atm.) I was also looking at a gsx8-t (which would cost me a bit more than the check), and there is an older rninet nearby that my buds want me to take a look at.I'm going to keep looking around myself, but wanted to consult the brain trust as well>>29089512>he didn't ask if I was okay or somethingI often think about stopping to help people trying to fix cars on the side of the road, but I'm always nervous that I won't be able to help the. "Oh, damn, I don't have my tools with me so there isn't anything I can do. Guess I'll be going now" That situation freaks me out. So, maybe the harley guy was really friendly but just a bit autistic and socially awkard
Total fucking newfag here. Do we respect moped riders? Are we brothers? When I was a carcuck I always looked down on moped riders even when I thought actual bikers were cool, now I like moped riders just because they're one less car on the road but they do seem to be browner on average than motorbike riders>>29089675Cute Hikari btw
>>29088935Saw one of these with a rear set kit and immediately realized how good it would look with a bit more fender and a round headlight
>>29089361If it's really fucked up there's only so much seafoam can do. Cheap ultrasonic cleaners are very cheap nowadays, 100 bucks or less.
>>29089675Cute post, someone help him!
>>29089361Bruh using the seafoam bandaid solution because wrenchlette dont know how to jet carbs and probably running way too rich
>>29089678Daily /n/obike General
It calls to me, I can feel it.Why would I ever even bother to buy anything else?
>>29089678>. Do we respect moped riders? Are we brothers? It depends.e-bike faggots are always faggots moped riders CAN be cool. It really depends on the type and the reason they're riding it. Scootbros are bros except the 50cc ones. Remember, DUI licenses mean that anything above 50cc is outlawed but not at or below depending on the state. So most of the 50cc moped/scooters you see are drunk/DUI drivers with suspended licenses. They do not deserve respect.
>>29089361Seafoam was just to see if it improved. You need a full carb clean. That means taking it off, maybe shipping the carb off since you probably shouldn't work on a carb if you can't identify carb problems, and seeing if that improves. That acceleration stall from a light is it becoming so rich that it chokes when you dump throttle into it. Second thing to check are your air filters. idk which bonneville you have but the T120s use a screen that's on the bottom of the throttle body. The older ones use the cartridge type air filters. Check the entire airway passage to the carb to ensure you're also getting proper airflow. Running too rich may have also fouled the spark plugs, worth a look if you have the time.
>>29089716Seafoam is a great solution to troubleshoot. Same with gumout.
>>29089722looks like a pig, get it
Someone took my half-cover off to look at my bike. I only know because they put it on backwards. I'm not upset because they didn't do anything to it, only reason I even have a cover is to keep bird shit off of it. It made me question how many times it happens though, because there are a lot of times it's not on correctly and I never know if it's me or not. I just hope it's not people who see my bike do something stupid on the road and confirming that it's me. Thanks for reading my blog.
>>29089744>Someone took my half-cover off to look at my bike.kill themif not doing that, then the low-tech answer is to tie a piece of twine or rope over and around the bike + cover in a knot that only you know how to make, such as a bowline knot. The kind of drug-addict who is scoping out people's bikes isn't going to know how to make decent knots. Classic anti-theft system. Thieves will always try to case your bike before stealing it and this gives you advance knowledge if someone has taken the cover off that you can tell from a glance by just looking at the knot. Only problem is: Since you caught them this time, they have now cased it. So you should invest in more proactive security measures like the beepers, airtags kept under battery trays, and disc locks.
>>29089572Harley makes really good bikes, you "don't like Harley products" because boomers are annoying. The Pan America is excellent, I think, and I've ridden them all now, either the best or the second best large adventure bike.
>>29089761I hear nothing but stellar reviews for it. And you're right, harley is the boomer's bike, but everything I can see from this is "Best touring bike ever"
nobike new here, middle aged portly gentlemen, not much over 300 pounds. Looking for first bike - test rode the Ninjer 650 and it felt really good, but the got comments from the guys like "it's a girls bike", "it's ok, but you are too fat for it" and so on. Any recommendations? I'm bearded, fat and middle aged, last thing I need in my life is a cruiser to complete the stereotype.
>>29089769I would put it over the GS1300 personally, but I very recently rented a GSA for not quite 1000 miles in 2 days and it's a better paved and gravel road tourer imo. It's also ten thousand more dollars in real life vs bogus bmw base msrp, but credit where it's due. I was flabbergasted by how different it felt from the non adventure GS. Speaking of BMW, the Burgerking edition M bikes in green look amazing. Really good looking special edition.
>>29089782First lose weight okay, got that out of the way. the "guys" need to fuck off. they aren't riding your bike. I am going to guess those "guys" are the people trying to sell you the bike. Am I right? If anyone has any interest in the money you spend on the bike, they are the last people you should be listening to when it comes to the bike YOU want to ride because dealers, showmen, group riders, all of them are in a scam to make people spend the most on a hobby you may not even enjoy. I ride a KLR650, slow pig nobody thinks is speedy or maneuverable, nobody shittalks the KLR650 despite it being a way less powerful bike. Get the Ninja 650 and enjoy yourself if that's what you want, anon. The person you buy the bike for is you.
>>29089789Thanks anon. I'll send a message over marketplace to them and see if they respond. I'm in the market for an adv-tourer and just never considered it an option because I always figured I could get cheaper touring/ADV bikes. But 9K is a hard deal to beat on a 20K bike
>>29089792Nah surprisingly the sales person was super distant and just let me test drive the thing. The "girl" comment came from a younger rider I know and the "fat - you need something more substantial" came from my instructor so I thought he must know game.
>>29089799> The "girl" comment came from a younger rider biketok zoomers can be rightfully ignored >"fat - you need something more substantial" came from my instructorNow that's surprising, they're usually the ones trying to keep new riders from buying over 600cc bikes. For good reason: Once you cross 1000cc, the accident statistics jump substantially. https://www.iihs.org/research-areas/fatality-statistics/detail/motorcycles-and-atvs#motorcycle-type-and-engine-sizeWe call them "Squids" because they leave big black marks on the road when they crash. People who buy sport bikes and ride way too fast as beginners are endemic among every crash and fatality statistic on motorcycles. Here's the truth though: The Ninja650 has 68 horsepower. There is no size short of being too fat to roll out of bed in the morning that is going to stop it from going ~100 at a brisk speed. An instructor should know that. 650s are a break point for motorcycle engine sizes for a reason: they're more than enough to accommodate everyone and do it in every category. That sales guy sounds like a bro tho. Rare type to simply back off and let people do their business and make their decisions.
>>29089572chatgpt said only 24+ one are good
Also adding: one of the best sport bikes on the market today is the Ninja 350. Nobody calls these 'girls bikes'
>>29089814Based on what? Did it have a reason for that?
>>29089761>bestthats GS>second bestthats KTM super adventure>third bestthats Multistrada>fouth bestthats Africa twin>fifth bestthats Vstrom 1050>sixth bestoknow why doesnt anyone like Triumph 1200?
>>29089818early Pamam has usual electrical issuesbad statorkick stand that bolt into engine and would crack your engine/chassie from vibration cause the bike doesnt have frame to bolt it onin 23 they change the kick stand and stator and redesign the kickstandbut by 24+ they change the entire bike wiringat least thats what the AI said early panam are super cheap I almost want one too so I looked it up
>>29089587As far as I'm aware, you're options for that sort of thing are off road racing. You can go as ratty as you want, and it seems pretty inexpensive to enter. I wonder if there are endurance flat track races.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8nxNZS0r3uM
>>29089822This is the 2022 Pan Am Special, which is why it made me almost jump at it immediately. I know there were several recalls since then.
fuck your discord server
>>29089782Just get what you want/is suitable. And yes lose weight it's the best thing you can do.
>>29089830Kill yourself shapeshifting melon tranner. Wanna be a mod so bad how about just manage my cock with your lips.
>>29089840thanks, anon.and don't I know it. I remember being 175 pounds, young and sexy. It felt so good even if I couldn't crack girls because of the tism.
>>29089819Out of these I pick GS, AT and Vstrom. Turnip and PanAm next, Duc and KTM last place.
what the fuck is detergent oil?
My little SL70 project has come to a grinding halt. The issue with the brakes not working turned out to be a broken brake arm on the front drum, and a brake arm that doesn't fit on the splint on the rear drum. After taking apart the rear drum, I noticed this y*maha logo. Apparently the previous owner just threw on whatever garbage he had lying around and attempted to make a farm bike, failing miserably because the rear sprocket situation is also incorrect, and the rear tire rubs on the swing arm.
>>29089751It's not a thief. It's a curious neighbor since I live in a safe apartment.
>>29089725In my state you need a drivers licenseAnd imo anyone with blue smoke is cool, especially moped (not scooter) rider
>>29089852Foam filter?Dish soap
>>29089857that is weird, but better than an unsafe hood I suppose
Why the seller at the marketplace stopped replying??? Fucking piece of shit!
>>29089818They had electrical problems. My local HD quotes under 1000 for full replacement with factory parts, the upgrade is backwards compatible. The factory fix, I forgot what part they replace, is a couple bills. The problem is really with running aux electrics and letting it sit too long, the electrical system was undersized. The kick stand thing I haven't heard of, I don't think that's correct off hand... The electricals were definitely a problem though. None of the rev max engines hold their value, and it doesn't make any sense. I know for a fact none of my local dealers have many problems, and people are pushing 100 at the wheel from the nightster with a tune, 150 from the sportster, which has the same size engine as the pan america, 175+ from the pan am. I really don't get it.
>>29089819GS, GSA, KTM, Multistrada, ATwin, Strom, Triumph 1200, Pan America, Versys I'm going, in orderGSA >Pan America > Multistrada > GS=Triumph 1200 > ATwin > VStrom >Versys Paved, gravel, hardpack dirt only. I don't do this whole serious off road business, I just mean for long touring on things which qualify as roads.

Why are bikers speeding in cities? I don't mean speeding by 5 mph like everyone does but speeding by 30-80 mph. Can't they just go on rural roads with no pedestrians?
>>29089950Speeders should be shot, and there should also be no speed limit on more highways. Where I live, it's mostly niggers nogging. Anything with wheels they'll speed on, dirt bikes, ATVs, surrons (this is becoming like kleenex for me), shitboxes, around here there's even three or four lunatics on can am three wheelers.
I will go as fast as I want. Maybe I'll get turned into paste or cut in half by a light pole or get arrested.
>>29089675> what are your thoughts on the z650rs?Meh bike. I'd take it over mt07 and other similar bikes just because it looks better.I don't think you'll regret getting it. I don't think it is particularly inspiring.
>>29089571You did better than me lol, I sheared a valve cover bolt the first time I did the job. I am my own worst enemy sometimes

>>29088530So after fucking around with the calipers and pistons, brakes felt fine. After riding for an hour, brakes suddenly failed. Had to stop with the rear brake, luckily had some space and an empty layby in front of me. I don't think I'll fuck with brakes again.
>>29089988just rebuild the caliper, goober.
>>29089991I'm gonna have to trailer it to a mechanic and get someone who knows what they're doing to fix it. Don't want that to happen again, I was very lucky.

>>29090093Some guitars are longer than others
>>29090100Mine is a big guitar for you
>>29090072You also have the right to break your guitar going 100mph with it just hanging out. Maybe you have to go slower when you have bulky, delicate cargo on a motorcycle.
>>29090102>go slower >on a motorcycleOk bus rider
>>29089975Thanks, anon. That really is the thing I kept seeing online too. The looks are really what drew me to it at first, and if the biggest complaint I see people levy against it is that lack of something exciting then I think it might not be too bad for me. We'll see, though. There are some silver ones nearby that I could pick up today if I wanted, but I kinda want to wait and get a green one. With winter coming sooner than it has passed, I might just wait until next year to get another and, hopefully, I'll come across a local green one by then.
>>29090104I go pretty slow on mine, what's the rush?
>>29090104Then break your guitar, dipshit
>>29090093I'm looking at my explorer right now. I don't see the problem, and there are a ton of soft cases with shoulder straps. You lack creativity, mr. guitarist.
>>29089857Still consider the twine method, if it's a curious neighbor: not being able to put the knot back will discourage them from even touching the cover.Or just talk to them about it. Say it's cool and if they want to see the bike, all they have to do is ask.
>>29089922Huh, seems like it's just a situation of a bad reputation. Though, having electrical problems is kind of a dealbreaker for larger sized bikes in general.I always thought it was kind of weird how they put the battery on the very bottom and the inverter heatsink just stuck through the skid plate. I thought it was cool, but I guess if it gets that hot- then there are bound to be issues.
>>29089822Why do you retards put such blind faith in glorified autocorrect/predictive text?
>>29089675if you're in an area that cant use speed get the 650. The Z900rs if you can use power. They are perfected modern classics.The RnineT has shaft drive going for it, but is oil cooled so its not gonna be fun in heavy traffic. Its similar to the Z900rs.Check out the new Trident 800 triples Triumph came out as well.XSR900 if you want the hooligan style but I know the 700's don't sell well in the states, you can get them for a discount.We never did get a Z400RS.If you do get it, Candy Lime Green.>>29089679just a little bit extension on the fender so it doesnt sling shit on my back would be nice.>>29089943Were only a few years away from fully functioning robots

>got my license>saving up for motorcycle>car breaks down, cant work, either all money stolen or I end up joblessThe cage is inescapable At this point I welcome the high likelihood of dying in a motorcycle accident due to the batshit insane retarded drivers i live around all in 2-3 ton SUVS and lifted trucks or jeeps I got T boned by a stupid 35 year old roastie in a Nissan ARMADA once because she just wasnt looking forward at all. That car weighs 6,000lbs. Pic related. She said "this is so weird because this just happened to me a few months ago". Insurance as always couldnt determine who was at fault just like when my parked car got a hit and run. Im so tired of this way of life. I just want a bike mainly because cars are overpriced bullshit. The logical conclusion almost seems to just welcome the worst outcome of it all. I just dont want to be maimed. Bring on the jagganath. Total obliteration. Release me from this prison of stroads
So timmys are buying the based Royal Enfield.
>>29090396Cant you exit a speed wobble by just applying the correct counter force to the handlebar, exact opposite of what its doing basically to knock it out? I did this in race sims when cars started fishtailing and I remember it having a really fast oscillation but I focused for a sec and just applied the opposite force for a couple cycles and it snapped it right out of it
https://www.yamaha-motor-india.com/yamaha-r15v4.html This is the best 150 cc bike ever made and is the one i own
>>29090406>in my video games its easy to recover my car from wobblescontender for dumbest post in dbt ive seen in a whileive been taught/recovered from death wobbles by unloading the front wheel with throttle and keeping straight, not fighting the barsfighting the bars only makes it worse
>>29090409>just give it even more throttle broYou just arent fast enough to counter wobble
>>29090413>Retard video game playing nobike thinks he can talk any shitFighting a death wobble/head shake is almost a guaranteed visit with the pavement. Some riders know/claim how to lift the front end out of them. I have found luck with putting my weight forward into the tank to tame a wobble before it gets extremely bad, as per Dunlop Wobble and Weave. You are playing a fucking car game on a fucking controller. There is not an IOTA of similarity.
>>29090413>You just arent fast enough to counter wobblejannies should ban all nobikes and jeets
New carbs looking almost nice, but fuck me it's going to be tight for my feet.The throttle stop screw is like an inch away from the brake pedal, so we ain't using rear brakes it seems.Need to figure out air filter hoses and fabricate some sort of filter housing

>>29090417You have unlocked the ability to adjust your air fuel mixture with your right foot. However it only goes one way and on one cylinder.

>>29090437Wait, I'm retarded and apparently illiterate too, fuck me.
>>29090406>>29090406>Cant you exit a speed wobble by just applying the correct counter force to the handlebarThat requires precise timing and force control, very difficult. But it sounds like you can enter that trance like state and apply these corrections. I suggest you practice "muscle it out" technique, basically flex your entire body and lock the handlebars in position. Pretty easy if you're not a twink.
>>29090409Got a real nasty speed wobble at about 70mph once. Its true best you can do is try not to fight against it, there will be nothing you can do with the throttle when your hands are trying to be ripped off the handle bars. laid my chest on the tank to keep my balance. Most tank slapper crashes happen after your hands come off the bars and you lose balance falling off. Or veering off the road while the tank slapper is happening. The idea that you can have any control of the throttle once it gets bad is fuddlore best thing you can do is either lay on the tank to keep balance once your hands come off the bars or if they dont keep your weight off the bars trying to balance squeezing the bike with your knees.
>>29090348You are dumb as nails. You should buy the ability to think from Sam Altman since you don’t have it yourself. Your stance against AI is poorly thought out, disconnected from reality, and worse, extremely Reddit. >>29090409You need to gently load the front while getting off throttle. The problem with wobble is every wobble adds energy. You need net energy to be negative, and you do that my gently loading the front, increasing friction, and getting off the throttle, decreasing total system energy. Although if you can power wheelie the throttle can fix the problem.
