Anon I'm retarded, I forgot combination for the lock that I use on my bike. Fortunately it was not on the bike. I tried to bruteforce it but apparently it's 4^10 combinations which is over a million. Is there a way to open it without destroying it? It's a nice lock..
>>29116067Look up YouTube channels like LockPickingLawyer, some combination locks like that it's possible to feel/listen for when a number is in the right place.
>>29116067Call the 1-800 number on the back of your padlock, they will assist you
>>29116026Is this a clanker thread?
>>29116062Real GS shit
>>29116082>new thread posted at exactly 310yup>>29116026kys
>>29116046>anyone ride todayNope. Went to the shop. Bike in indoors ready to be worked on. Waiting for shock absorber from Italy. Then front bearing then MOT then hopefully have it back for the weekend. Really needs to be midweek to get it there.
>>29116087Look, I know you're our newest schizo, but threads used to get started at 300. You would know this if you weren't a new kid, crying in every thread. I suggest you take some meds and calm down a while.
>>29116096>but threads used to get started at 300You are a newfag, you are a jeet, you don't have a bike, fuck your script and fuck you
>>29116096kys
>>29116026I came in too hot to a turn that I just can't get right, and I target fixated. Nothing bad happened because my brakes bailed me out, but geez. Also, besides that, I don't need any lean angle for the speeds I'm navigating these turns at. On my supermoto I can get it leaned over whenever and scape pegs. On this sport bike, it just goes. I figure I'm actually just super slow.
>>29116062WHAT A RIDE
>>29116046Only to the gas station and to get lunch sadly.
>>29116046Yëëp :)
These things seem so dope to own
>>29116087>new thread posted at exactly 310the bump limit is at 310, thats when you make a new thread. thats the way its been for the last 5 years, you reddit faggot
>>29116172>thats when you make a new thread.Depends on the board, most times you'd have your thread deleted because it's unnecessary when the thread might still be up days or longer after it has hit the bump limit. Some generals suffer from no-one wanting to make new threads which is annoying but far less annoying than retards trying to beat each other to make their own gay edition and arguing over it constantly which is what happens on the boards where the mods allow such faggotry.
Recommend jacket for colder weather
>>29116046I am now please to imform you that after maintenqnce and new part posting, i went for a ride, ordered alleycat raapberry sour beer; and am about to enjoy my finngolian noodlehouse experience And then after that do the lonely rider feels club where i think ita gonna be dangerous as fuck bwcause thw currwnt climate was rainy all day amd i think we're close to frosty overnight and its damp everywhereIm on my sumo slickera that already hate wet tarmacSo the maintwnance might be asploded or the fork seal finallly says fuck you shoomers in the middle of corner town, and i eat shit- hard to say judging from the noodle experience so farBasically webm is me, im even wearing a red flannel like a typical fucking LEAF; a living stereotypeThank you for your attention to this madderdaddy

Saw some fucking faggot on one of those bicycles with a motor strapped to it today. This is why us hasbieks should stay armed, bros. We can solve the problem.
>>29116218Regular leathers are fine if theyre loose enough to accomodate various layers underneath like fleece or heated vestYou mainly want to layer on amd ensure the last layer is deadset wind protection and the layer before that has enough insulationAnytime youre riding near or below subzero temps your windchill is going to be 2-4x colder based on your overall velocityExtremities will always get frostbike first: fingers and toes and nexts your noseHeated grips are good to have but not entirely necessary unless its -10c or fast around there, get hippo hands if youre going subarctic temps
>>29116258>Regular leathers are fineNo they aren't. You need polymer armor.
>>29116218Aww, little pussy faggot has cold fingies? All you need is a leather vest and some jeans. Too bad you have no patches so you have no right...

looking for a drive sproket, how much should a replacement 415H 44T one cost?
I ride like an impatient asshole with no chill its actually annoying me and I can't control it.You know how everyone drives so "politely" its actually aweful going 10 under and they're just kinda in the way
What's the best way to tune my bikes fueling? Afr gauge or some sort of affordable sniffer setup? Dyno shop is booked out till next year.
>>29116450Dynos use sniffers. I told you last thread, either don't install the pipe or bandaid with a big muffler insert and an air intake temp trickery device.
>>29116449i ride an unironic ebike-moped thing and this pisses me off to no end. stop waving me through; you are holding up traffic and creating a more complex situation you retarded boomer!!!!!! i have to cross a gorillion lanes or am stopped at a stop sign and now is the time you wave me through, but when i want to merge into the left lane to make a legal left turn thats when everyone rides my ass? kill everyone, including me
>>29116250Not today, CIA, the real enemy are the cagers, not other bikers
>>29116456>other bikersDo you really think that cyclists are "bikers"?
i like to wave to scooterfags irl but their /dbt/ posts are very low quality
>>29116464this but for people on dualsports. i worry they're "shoomer" anime retards
>>29116420And?
>>29116466Where do you think we are?
>>29116453Bandaid already applied motherfucker. I'm looking for non-ai replies
>>29116454Wish they wouldn't react at all sometimes I always end up being they guy that just has to nail it everywhere.You know that guy that thinks he's the "ambassador of all motorcyclists" so he waves pedestrians across and waves at everybody?I've been riding motorcycles for 14 years dont be that guy.Ride like a fucking assholeSwerve stupid j-walkersRev bomb idiotsIgnore people trying to talk to you while you rideThings like that
>>29116471I wrote what, two paragraphs? Are people so fucking brain rotted these days that even MODERATE length = AI? I pulled that off of the top of my head from having fucking experience, man.
>>29116470i'm an unironic furfaggot ffs but the road is the place for a different sort of insanity
>>29116475Lemme rephrase.Your answer wasn't good enough retard
>>29116474this but embracing the hyperbolicpedestrians, i will cut ahead of you because i physically need momentum. if there's more than 3 meters between us, congrats, i passed you legally and about 2.99m further than the average articulated truck passes meno, karen, i will not take your wave-through, i am fucking stalled the fuck out and have nowhere near enough bottom end torque on electric because i had to stop at a hill and the light is still red for me anyway and standing on my pedals is a commitment i wont make just to get smoked by cross trafficyes, tyler, i will take an entire lane, you can pass in the left lane instead of LANE SPLITTING around me because i know i have to drive like this because you are fucking terrified of the left lane. don't fight it, just get in there like a cold pool tyleryes, you can faintly hear "Seek and Prey High Speed Heroes 2016" near my vehicle. no i am not wearing headphones that are too loud, nor have a JBLt®™ speaker that is too quiet. you are simply feeling the noise
>>29116479There is no good answer for your situation without a dyno, tough shit and suck my cock.
>>29116474This is where I'm at as well.
>>29116479You can get what you want by sitting on your ass and posting online actually.Is that the answer you wanted?
>>29116483Kick a stool you passive aggressive faggot. No shit sherlock a dyno would remedy the situation
>>29116490>Kick a stoolnta but god i wish this ever made me feel betterlast time i had bike issues i unironically broke the stupid plastic stepstool i used as a stand and it was not enough. i need anger management classes
>>29116490And you can't get an appointment for one. Nothing else will do, you need to put load on the engine to ensure your fuel mapping is good under all conditions. Are you that fucking dumb? Just gonna keep posting into the void and hope that someone smarter than you will give you a magic answer? I hope you haven't reproduced, what a fucking waste of oxygen and calories you are. Kill yourself and/or never post here again, you fucking RETARD.
>>29116492Just calm down, bro.
>>29116488>Asks where to source a sniffer or alternative >Somehow this means I'm doing nothingYeah okay retard

>You're so retarded exploring options and asking questionsGot these apes trying to square a circle ITT

>>29116502>Literally could fucking Google a sniffer and see that good ones are like $2500 >Refuses to do any work>Can't read more than three sentences at a time>Calls anyone else retarded
>awkward interaction with another biker at a stop light>he just pulls forward to avoid talking
>>29116498You got given a good answer and you're mad about it so I gave you a bad one. You're still mad. What do you want?
>be on my shit-ass moped>encounter a biker>feel either jealousy, anger, or guilt
>>29116511maybe he has earplugs in or is listening to music. wtf do you need to talk to him about
Ha ha, fuck.
>>29116516Not my problem.
>>29116519For real.I just bought 18x255W solar panels for about $300USD and just scored a 65% SoH 30kW nissan leaf battery for $200USD.Thinking about selling my XR400 and buying one of those faggy electric grom things.I may not like it, but at least I can save the TL for weekends.
>>29116521do not because every electric motorcycle is terrible. they are not a direct replacement. they are commuter vehicles. they're fun in their own way but are more like getting an overpowered scooter
>>29116511>>29116515I ride with my helmet on and ignore the shit out of everyone.Sometimes I'll talk to other bikers at a light but it's usually awkward small talk "nice bike" type stuff that gets cut off when the light changes
I'm coming around on the quickshifter, I always thought an up only quickshifter was silly because that's the easiest time to shift and it is. But it's fun to pretend like you're a little racebike when you get on the highway and shortshift to 6th
>>29116529also I see why the previous owner crashed this thing, putting a 200 on the rear was fucking retardedReplaced it with a 180 today and it doesn't feel like the bike is constantly trying to kill me anymore, excited to take it for a spin tomorrow morning on the mountain and see how it feels actually cornering it
>>29116523Shrug. It's only 4 miles to work and I'm too lazy to use my pushbike because the area is hilly as fuck.My TLthou doesn't even get into the hot map by the time I get there.Maybe I should use some of these other leaf modules and fabricobble a 'pushbike' with one of those 20kW peak brushless jobs.
>>29116529Is your fork seal leaking????
In some states a permit is functionally just a license with light restrictions. I live in ohio and I had a permit for my first three years because they just don't enforce the restrictions where I'm from.Those restrictions are a helmet law and not going out after dark. You only need a helmet here until you've had a full license for a year. I only got the license because I got bopped for doing both at the same time a few blocks from my house.
>>29116547> You only need a helmet here until you've had a full license for a year.Where exactly is the logic in this?
>>29116536>It's only 4 miles to workunironically keep the proper bike but get a shitty e-bike too for small errands or low-range commuting. my commute is about 9km and i do it on a fabricobbled ebike and it's fun enough and quick enough and when i feel restless i can play with the pedals a bit>fabricobble a 'pushbike' with one of those 20kW peak brushless jobs.the motor listed "power" is always irrel and by nature you can overdrive motors a fuckton. what matters is voltage for system compatibility and the actual motive power you get is, given how the market is working right now, effectively "more voltage better". more voltage better in general for a lot of complicated reasons but for the most part you can drive a 36v hub motor at "10kw" and it won't be as good as a 72v motor at 2kw. theres also a lot of autism you can get into about signaling since any system worth anything will have Hall Effect Nonsense You Dont Understand but basically there's sensors and if they can be polled faster or are spaced further apart they can be read faster and that's good and it's not TCS it's engine timingit's very easy to build an ebike from parts, and most of the challenge is finding places for shit to go. but a lot of people look at a motor saying "20000000MW MAX!!!!!!!" and figure it's fast, like naw dog, it just won't melt if you cram 60A through it. the key things are the controller and the battery. the controller has to be able to output big power, and the battery has to be able to supply big power.but really whats gonna happen is youll get one, realize its slow, have a lot of fun anyway, and you will live in a weird parallel universe to 2smoke bmx autists who spend tens of thousands of dollars minmaxing something that will never go faster than 50kmh
>>29116492Anger is the symptom of something that is troubling you not the problemThere is something going on in your life that you need to change to feel better It might require a change in perspective to realise what,Sit down with no distractions, no noise and think about what you have going on
>>29116555>There is something going on in your life that you need to change to feel betteruh yeah like my fucking bike being broken but i need to feel better NOW so i can work on it properly (or apply that sort of thing to any other situation in life where i am mad at an immediate failure, even if if not especially my own, and cause further failures out of lack of prudence from anger)i COULD walk away from every such situation, but then nothing would ever get done
>>29116552Kill yourself.
>>29116561Read the Hagakure.
>>29116551Most wrecks are in the first year of riding.
>>29116551most americans have never even ridden a bicycle so getting their motorcycle license is the first time they have to drive a vehicle that requires paying attention at all
>>29116576goofy ass faggot
>>29116578americans need tutorials for "countersteering" when that is shit you learn at the age of 6 in any other country

>>29116609things like "fun" and "utility" aren't allowed anymore
>>29116574Yeah, that's the kind of shithead logic I expected.
>>29116599Hnnnng I just unlocked oil and my autism is going bonkers.>>29116552Nah I get it. I've even got leaf modules running as a UPS through a victron inverter for my aquarium, a franken-bike will be a fun project since I've got 13 spare 7.3V, 45~A modules which are good for 90A bursts.I live in a valley where there's about 700ft elevation over 1 mile on the way to work and the same over 3 miles back so it's all load for the vast majority.
>>29116609No they absolutely did not. I see more kids on bikes now then I did when I was a kid.>>29116595Delusional
>>29116624>Hnnnng I just unlocked oil and my autism is going bonkers.You can't void the byproducts easily. You have to manage it. And managing it gets you more stuff. And then you get the alternate recipies... Much like every other furry-beloved-non-furry-game it's all about crisis management>a franken-bike will be a fun project since ...idk what a "leaf module" is but it's more about putting out clean 3-phase for most bike-ready motor kits. otherwise, if you wanna play EE, you can drive whatever motor you have however you want.
>>29116630Depending on the generation of Nissan Leaf (in my case Gen II) the modules come as 2S2P for 7.4V nominal @ 60Ah when new, around 30-40Ah typical used and parted out (250W/h each). Sometimes you can get them remarkably cheap. I paid about 4USD per module - USD$16 per kW. Compare that to prebuilt LiFePO4 units.The only issue is that each module is about 20lbs lol. All the current, not much voltage.>ByproductsUgh. So much extra shit to do.

>>29116669Idk, BMW's run flat-twins, what's a girthy battery pack in comparison?
You homosexuals better answer me this time, should I reinstall these with the lock nuts up? I slapped them on while heavily intoxicated
>>29116713Nu Zullund.98 went from 3.70 to 3.99 overnight.Diesel is less taxed than petrol, but we pay $76/1,000km for private/non-commercial vehicles on top and rises exponentially to $352/1,000km for >9T. Diesel here is extremely sensitive to market pricing. Which is fantastic, since we closed our only refinement facility a few years ago because it was deemed 'uneconomic' to upgrade and maintain, but our fuckass govt decided to bypass all checks and fast-track a 3 billion dollar LPG terminal for ""ENERGY SECURITY""" when on any given day, 95% of our electricity production is renewable and instead gave landlords tax breaks, reduced spending on public healthcare, removed living assistance for underprivileged etc jesus fuck I sound like a whinger.Pre-covid-canal, Diesel was typically 30-40% less than petrol.Why can't w̶e̶ s̶h̶o̶o̶t̶ p̶o̶l̶i̶t̶i̶c̶i̶a̶n̶s̶ hold politicians responsible again?
>>29116719Down is better, but I would use some kind of dry assembly paste (high molybdenum) on the threads as a nod to avoiding maximum rusting.Maybe even like a red loctite.
Posted the enfield yesterday with that retardedly overtightened hex bolt.Have spent hours trying to get it moving, including going full retardpilled and just trying to hammer the stanchion through anyway. Currently I've just stuck a cheapo hex key in there and superglued it. Fuck it.
Thanks.

>>29116482>i have no displacement and i must ride How ofal
>>29116787My problem is that it's rounded the head. I think I may have gotten it to move a bit when my first allen key broke.Will try hammering a torx head into it. Maybe drill it out. Maybe I can push the stanchion through with clamps or something.Kinda been retardmaxxing already but I WILL get that bolt out somehow.
>>29116848Post a picture of it.
>>29116848If you have a Dremel with a small burr bit you can cut a slot for a flathead.Or you can buy one of those reverse threaded extractor bits. You should chill out and consider your options before you get frustrated and go full gorilla.I'm not sure drilling is a good idea here.

I wish I was living in San Diego in the US with 22°C and 10% rain chance. Instead it's raining for second day in a row with half the temperature where I'm now. Does your piece of shit president still allow professional visas from EU or it's better to wait when he loses midterms/next elections, so I can look for a job there in California? Bet riding in South California is amazing whole year.
what are some smaller sportbikes that have cruise control?
>>29116941You are not allowed to have a smaller bike with cruise control my friend. Only the top models. How else manufacturers would upsell you 1000cc+?

Where were you when the GOAT was gutting it out for his 8th MotoGP title?
Also I love having a Harley sometimes. Because the parts support for stuff that's 20 plus years old is incredible. Picked this up this morning for the price of some other stuff I was never going to use again.
>>29116956>Someones never been on the saddle for more than 10 hours and it shows.Someone doesn't have a bike with a sticking throttle tube for 10+ hours and it shows.
>>29117053True. My bikes throttle consistently returns when I let go.

what do exhausts do besides make cool noise and just letting out the exhaust fumes
>>29117095Sometimes fire shoots out too. You like fire?
>>29117102I have no strong opinions on fire
>>29117095They create back pressure. Some create more than others. Generally you want less of it.The biggest thing is just making the engine quieter though.

>>29116935Can confirm, the weather is beautiful on Palomar today>>29116953^ mad because he doesn’t have corners where he lives
>>29117095On 2 strokes the funky design redirects the exhaust pulse (Pulse, not backpressure, fgt. Don't trust anyone who says 2 strokes like backpressure.) back toward the engine, shoving fuel and air that escaped out of the exhaust port back into the cylinder. Usually these are tuned for a specific rpm which gives 2 strokes their peaky nature but there are some sophisticated trombone style slider systems on some applications to help broaden the powerband.
>>29117131Bro why this face
>>29117095Bigly Shooms
It's always shorty helmets that fail testing because people who buy shorty helmets would rather be riding around in a MAGA cap and don't want any impact protection anyway.
>>29117139Its the anger; STAY THE FUCK BACK, twink experience thats now engraved within the emotive headlights of a sneedtribble
>>29117148>400gBro falling for any of these helmet acronyms is a IQ test. You think FMVSS No.218 is a thing when you're getting ran over by a no insurance culturally enriched truck or when you low side and crash into a tree?
>>29117157Low siding is actually a great fucking example of a helmet changing a head impact from a broken skull into "ouchies, I skinned my knee a little."
>>29117064False. Michelin could easily make a good front, they just don't have access to MotoGP bikes so they can test in-house, and there's no designated testing time with sprint races in the weekend, there just isn't time to spend a session testing a prototype tire for fun. Next year is Pirelli, the problem will continue though.>>29117067I think it's pretty good. The engineering is interesting, and the rider can still make the difference. What don't you like about it?
>>29117134This also applies to 4 stroke engines to a lesser degree, crossover pipes are also used for similar effect.In 2 strokes a very dumbed down explanation is the louder the exhaust pipe is, not the muffler but the pipe, the more power it makes.
>>29117118>Aimplying stainless doesn'tWrenchlet
>>29116531>200 rearFor what purpose? Did it even fit on the stock rim? Nice bike though, I'd like one but no twisties where I live so I'm looking for a Speed Twin 1200 instead (also goddamn 90% of the used listings have less than 5k miles for 7yo bikes, boomers buy them and leave them to rot in their garage).How does it compare to your FZ6?
>>29117171>oh no I have loads of well cared for low mileage bikes to choose from!
>>29117171>How does it compare to your FZ6?Love it, the 3 cylinder vibrations really makes my bussy guys with boy cream.
>>29117185*Gush
>>29117164Yet Bridgestone had no problems. What's different?
>>29117171I think he was a little overly eager and under experienced, it definitely didn’t feel like it fit the rear. If you ever leaned it too far you’d lose the front, probably how he crashed>I'd like one but no twisties where I liveDefinitely would recommend against it if you’re not planning to ride corners/trackProbably the least compromising naked I’ve ever ridden lol It also has oodles of torque anywhere north of 5krpm that encourage to break the speed limit in less than 1.5 seconds>How does it compare to your FZ6?It feels like a successor to it in every way except for tourabilityHigh revving fun with enough torque in the low end to not make you feel like you need to live at redline just to get the power downThe naked aspect really sucks but it’s worth the compromise for the super nice brakes/suspension/geometry>90% of the used listings have less than 5k miles for 7yo bikesPeople don’t ride motorcycles anon, they’re just a garage ornament for the guy who felt like he would miss out if he didn’t try one. Motorcycle fatalities are similar for 20 something’s and 40 something’s IIRC
>>29117197>Motorcycle fatalities are similar for 20 something’s and 40 something’s IIRCThat's because old guys used to fuck around with RGV250s back in the day, then left bikes to focus on career and family. When they had the time to get back into bikes 20 years later, the GSX-R1000 had been invented and they had no idea what they were getting into.
Do you cream your ass and thighs after a long ride?
Since when did this gay biker tik tok shit become so popular? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AYblLOW_l18
>>29117197>Motorcycle fatalities are similar for 20 something’s and 40 something’sNop
>>29117240Holy fuck why are pensioners more likely to die than 18-25 year olds?
>>29117247Yep, similar just a touch more. It's health related, basically younger body tends to fight for its life better than older one. You get corona as 20yo and you are fine, you get it when you are 70you and you end up in freezer.

Why balaclava under the helmet?
>>29117280Idk I sometimes wear one in the winter to keep the wind off my neck. It also helps with helmet hair, but that's just a bonus.
>>29117240Where does it say motorcycles? My German is pretty rusty. This looks like just traffic accidents.
>>29117240>>29117290Or traffic deaths rather. "Getötete" and all that
>>29117290You are correct, it's not exclusively for motorcycles. I can't fine nice graphics to show you stats only for motorcycles, but it's the same distribution (said in text on other sources).
>>29117280helmet harder to clean
>>29117335It's three clips on my helmet, on each side, no way putting on and taking off balaclava every time you start the bike is easier.
what are some cool looking nakeds that aren't Ducati Streetfighters?
>>29117357Yamaha MT07, MT09, XSR900, MT10Honda Hornet CB750/1000Kawa Z800/1000BMW S1000r naked, R-nine TTriumph Speed Triple, Trident 660

>>29117357The sportbike you take fairings off of and chop the frame for your cafe racer styling
>>29117357SV1000
>>29117372Imagine suggesting pisstwins after anon asked about cool nakeds similar to Ducati

>>29117416>Only 100 mile long fuel tankwhy would that matter?
>>29117416option 7 Bgive up and get a Forza 750
>>29117422I hate BMW, but this is a cool as baiku, that's just the truth.
>>29117422Maybe to you. I rode one. Very unflappable and undramatic. Don't know how they made such hard acceleration feel ordinary >>29117423We like to ride further than coffee shops without stopping Btw enjoy a collection of custom built racing 2V Ducatis.From left to right, top to bottom order:>Radical Ducati >NCR Millona >LBM1100>Pierobon fo42>Kaemna Demon
Half fairings are it
>>29117429looks like a sperm
>>29117416>what do i doPreorder a new buell
good first bike?
>>29117416Buell Firebolt or EBR? Perhaps a KTM RC8? (lol yeah I know, not exactly accessible)It's not exactly a twin but why not a VFR or Aprilia RSV4 or Tuono?
>>29117435Too tall and heavy, expensive af to fix
>>29117164>I think it's pretty good. The engineering is interesting, and the rider can still make the difference. What don't you like about it?60% of the manufacturers are totally uncompetitive and have been since 2022, the past three years have been especially bad with a whopping (3) races in total won by a non Aprilia/Ducati. Terrible rules like the tire pressure minimum which meant today in the sprint that Jorge Martin had to surrender the lead because the pressure dropped due to being in the lead and clean air. The format is stupid and all but 2 races being in Europe/Asia makes it hard to watch as an American.
>>29117403What's the problem here?
>>29117435i agree with the other anon, its gonna be too heavy for a first bike. but you have good taste
>>29117455It's a good bike technically, but there aren't many worse looking nakeds I feel. maybe MT09 or MT10
>>29117465Fair, the new one is ugly alien looking.First gen wasn't too bad though.
>>29117240Ah, my bad. I was thinking of the american study where older rider deaths were about equivalent with young rider deaths (until covid)Either way you’d be right, that said from anecdotal evidence I’ve found it’s 60 something’s and 20 something’s that ride the most miles.But who cares for anecdotal evidence>>29117212 Did Americans really ride 2st sportbikes? I’ve really never heard of any Americans riding one that wasn’t like an H2 mach IV or something
>>29117475The two strokes sportbikes after the 70s weren't really that popular outside of track riders
>>29117473yeah they used to look better
>>29117435Just get a used one and enjoy just italian things
>>29117480>just italian thingsominousI have one Italian friend and while he is very cool and chill, he is also legitemately crazy, I'm pretty sure
>>29117449>60% of the manufacturers are totally uncompetitive and have been since 2022Ok noob, for many decades, it was business as usual for only 2-4 bikes to be competitive in the dry. The age of satellite teams with full factory equipment and data sharing is a 2010s invention. I'm sorry that not every season can be like 2018, but trust me, it's better than in days past.>Terrible rules like the tire pressure minimumThe tire pressure rule is a safety measure. Load on the front tire has gone up 40% since the current front was introduced. Michelin has had an updated front since at least last year. But with so litlte track time, nobody's willing to waste it testing the new tire for Michelin. The pressure rule is in place purely because Dorna can't pull their head out of their ass and mandate the teams do some testing. Why? I'd really like to know. I honestly hope there's more to it than that. >hard to watch as an American...what? I'm an American. I just stay off social media until I can watch the sessions FO FREE on motomundo. You sound pathetic.
>>29117435Get one of these saar, unironically
>>29117488holy dornashill cope actually defending the tire pressure rule
>>29117501Ah yeah let's just run the fronts until they fucking blow lol fuck them ridersMy mistake for thinking you can do critical thinking.
>>29117504Why the fuck would teams do that? Have you applied your vaunted critical thinking to this?
>>29117488>rent reducer 9000 That reminds me of the jeet remover machine that someone came up with to get their jeet apartment neighbors to move out. Iiirc it worked on the concept of producing noise at the legal threshold. I wonder if theres a site for these antisocial inventions.
>>29117493I dont want a thumper, plus they are heavy also
thanks again for the advice boxernons i bought her >the dealer, a beemer enthusiast, insisted that he rebuild both carbs and the engine and replace every gasket before i take it home Took like 45 minutes and he only used a screwdriver, a pair of pliers, a hammer and an adjustable wrench
>>29117522Forgot pic. The shop was interdasting, like 15 airheads in various states of disassembly. Shelves full of airhead exhausts. Dozens of fuel tanks hanging from the ceiling. Boxes full of side and center stands. I should have taken more pics of the shop.
KLX300chads we just can't stop winning
sv650
>>29117540was going to buy a new one but the insurance was 2x as much as a Tuono 660 and all my local suzuki dealers are megafags
>>29117540Street Triple 765rs
>>29117523That thing is cool. I like da wheels.
>>29117555>racetech sticker on the forksDid the previous owner get in there with some RaceTech goodies?
>>29117564>Did the previous owner get in there with some RaceTech goodies?He didn't seem the type to upgrade the suspension on the thing, but he did mention getting the suspension tuned for his weight at a trackday so they might have had representatives out there do it for him and throw the sticker on. The forks themselves look very stock and it would seem odd to buy a bike that's known for coming with great suspension and then upgrade it some more
>>29117166>the louder the exhaust pipe is, not the muffler but the pipe, the more power it makes.I'm almost sure that's false. If your port timing is set to make max power at 13k rpm but your pipe is tuned for 9k then you will make less power than a properly matched cylinder/pipe reguardless of decibels.
>>29117504yeah bro the teams that are hyperaware of tire wear are gonna run dangerously low pressures
>>29117579Nice, still pretty cool even if they weren't opened up.
