watching old fmx makes me wanna ride so badly. I neglected my bike because I had life get in the way. Next spring I'm bringing my bike to a mechanic to go over it and then we gonna hit up some trails on the ol klx300.

hows KLE650?Will it be better than 500?
>>29143179it has cruise control on a sub 10000 eur bike, that's cool I guess.
>>29143179unless honda and suzuki finally put cruise control and tubeless wheel on their midsize advthis is what most people will be buying
>>29143137Kick rocks more like when you can't turn your bike on any way
>>29143184Dang even my Himi has tubeless and cruise control.
>>29143184New Royal Enfield Himalayan and CF Moto 550MT have it as well from that class of baikus.
>went on zero rides for 3 years now
>>29142709Sorry to break the bad news, but every product "made in the first world" is assembled from parts made in the third world. Assembling it in America, or Bavaria, or Austria, or England, or Japan, gives you tighter control over the QAQC process than final assembly overseas, and that's the reason bikes made in the first world are still nicer than bikes made in the third world. Sprint is slated for final assembly in York, PA.
Should I buy an ural? I see you fuckers discussing and posting them every now and then.
>>29143037where's the link to the jihad.js vocaroo?
>>29143237i think im gonna unironically buy a ural neo they have one for test rides at a dealer in south jersey near where my cousin lives, im going to see her saturday so our kids can have a play date, i'll report back if i find time to do a test ride.

It looks like our little schizo has graced his presence to our thread this morning and it looks like he forgot his meds.
I want a small lightweight bike for a beginner. Something that I won't get overwhelmed by. Any model suggestions or at the very least, what displacement should I stay around?
Where is everyone? Desu I'm tired of working so hard, I just want to take a long bike trip.
>>29143296Kys motherfucker posted the same goddamn thread for a fucking year lmao, ALL ANONS WELCOME, MOTORCYCLE WHISKEY PAIRING ADVICE burn in hell you fucking ultrafaggot
>>29143297Get a CB300R if you are normal height. Rebel 300 if you are short, XR300L if you are tall. 300cc should be a good sweet spot. Anything below 500cc is still fine.
>>29143237Absolutely yes, amazing bikes and a lot of fun to just cruise around with.>>29143249I don't like the looks of the Neo. From what I've read and heard, the Russians weren't too impressed with the chink original either and did a lot of modifications to make it "satisfactory".I also remember reading something that the Neo was a yank idea because dadventure bikes apparently are quite popular in the US or some shit.
>>29143300Let me rephrase, I want to spend about 2-3k on a used bike.
>>29143273Based, if priced accordingly.
>>29143298I'm not up to date with the beef, but someone doesn't like 3 characters added to the bake.
>>29143066Ok, thanks for knowing your limits and leaving the analog monsters to those that can handle them.>>29143231Why? And why are you here?>>29143237They're probably the worst bikes available. Modern Russians are essentially black people with the wrong color.>>29143273The only way that bike succeeds is if it's cheap as shit. And if it is, it's going to sell extremely well. I've thought for a while that there's a massive hole in the market for a very fast bike that hasn't spent the money on any more technology than is legally required.>>29143297250-400cc.
>>29143301I'm not really into the idea because it's a ural, i never bought a ural because i don't want an old school russian boxer. just not my cup of tea. Im into the idea because i've had sidecars before and I miss having a sidecar, but I would like to buy something from a factory with a warranty.
>>29143297As the other anon said if you can get a lower end A2 they will be lighter but it really can change a lot bike by bike: for example a royal enfield 350 is gonna be 180kg wet while my first bike, a beta m4 was 140kg wet and both are air cooled 350cc.the ktm390 platform is lightweight and can be a bit more fun pushing to the limit of A2, currently riding a svartpilen 401 myself but the cb300 is very light and imho looks very nice if you can get one.If you like the idea of going off into trails and such a small dual sport could be fun, if you are in america you have plenty of reasonable options from the big 4 to choose from and i assume a lot in the used market for cheap.
>>29143309do they still do the thing where manufacturer just puts a restrictor plate onto throttle pulley to fit into A2? that you can remove with a screwdriver?
>>29143310i'd think so but not sure, i'm gonna assume that ride by wire are all software locked tho
>>29143302Used MT-03
>>29143297SV650 maybe? Believe it or not they're very beginner friendly as long as you're conservative with throttle.
>>29143297Kawasaki z500 (or z400)Yamaha MT03Honda Rebel 500 if you are short
>>29143297CB500/CBF500 if you can find them
>>29143037what bike does rabbi kun ride? is it the one on sale?
>>29143302Any japanese sub 500cc bike made in the last 5 years, I'd add Royal Enfield and Triumph to it as well. If you can find it, otherwise go older. Don't go too old, you want to be riding around not fixing it.
>>29143238Report the thread foe being a faggot javascript enabler and a ban evaderIm still posting in the old thread untill the based janny btfos this fagass op
Why does anyone in /dbt/ get irrationally upset about a new
>>29143137If you wanted to be completely safe you'd take the bus or the cage. Just practice your emergency stops in a church/community college parking lot and be sure to dial in the sensitivity of your brakes so you're not locking up on accident. Is ABS safer? Of course but generations of riders made do without it. Also kick starting a two stroke 250 isn't hard.

Gear advice, please!I have three 2-piece-suits right now, which I got for less than 100 eurobucks (used):left: Spidi Laser Touring, blackmiddle: Macna Tracktix, blue/fluo yellowright: Macna Tronniq, blackAll 3 of them fit me perfectly, all are in good condition.The Spidi has an annoying inner laying in the shin area of the pants where the mesh is kept in place by a velcro. Every time I take off the pants (especially during summer), the velcro will rip off and I'll have to spend 5 minutes fumbling around with the pants to reattach it.The Tracktix (blue/yellow) has one or two slightly loose seams and the first time I zipped it, the zipper didnt catch correctly.The Tronniq (black) is fine all around, but it's just more boring black.Which one should I keep? I plan on just selling the other 2 again.Bike is a white 2025 CB1000 Hornet.It's not an urgent issue because around the end of this month I'll switch to thermo gear until april anyway.
new super cub thread on /a/ btw
>>29143422Wait until spring to sell, you'll get more money.Me personally, I'm trying not to be all-black gear edgelord, but that seems really popular with the younglings. If it were me I'd keep the power ranger outfit and sell off all the black, but that's really a personal choice.
>>29143434>Wait until spring to sell, you'll get more money.That was the plan, I'll just clean them up and rub some leather balm/cleaner on them.>Me personally, I'm trying not to be all-black gear edgelord, but that seems really popular with the younglings.I'm 38, my youngling days are over I'm afraid.From a practical point of view, the white/blue/yellow is just the more sensible choice: better visibility and slightly cooler in summer than the all black suits. I've ridden over 1600 miles of highway this summer in a red/black suit, ended up sweating out ever sip of water that I drank.From a fashion point, the black is fine and fits better with my black boots, gloves and helmet.
>>29143422>Every time I take off the pants (especially during summer), the velcro will rip off and I'll have to spend 5 minutes fumbling around with the pants to reattach it.you can buy a strip of velcro and cover the part that snags?
>>29143431I knew a girl that one of those at college, her boyfriend had an RD500. I had an RGV at the time.Bloody engineering students.Good times.
Looking to get a pit bike to beat the shit outta. Should I get a klx or crf? If I get the klx 300r l it comes with a clutch but it's not fuel injected. I mainly will be riding it around the house doing wheelies and making small jumps.
>>29143445fuck I meant 110 r l
>>29143438>I'm 38,time to trade the hornet in for an ADV dad bike
>>29143467NTA but I can't sit straight on a bike, lower back hurts. Need at least 12° forward lean.
>>29143484Racy seating hurts lower back at slow speed because the airflow doesn't hold you up.Try something dirtbike/dual sport for a while (get a test) because you act like a sail.
>>29143488I had Versys650, sold it because manlet and back hurts.
>>29143496Hmm. That sucks. Ride fast...
ALERT ALERTUPDATEstill <3 bike. Hehe, yup
satan will say ride-by-wire and electronic braking, jesus will say throttle cables and hydraulicssatan will say LED, jesus will say halogensatan will say TFT displays and the e-clutch, jesus will say analog gauges and manualsatan will say ABS, traction control and drive modes, jesus will say foot and wristdo not fall for the modernists lies
>>29143484thats an interesting problem to havetoo much forward lean hurts my upper back/shoulders and wrists after awhile.what about a cruiser, feet forward. what would that do to your back
>>29143511it be like that sometimes (all times)
>>29143525I didn't try too much, 10-15° is optimal>cruiser, feet forwardit's the back angle that matters, if it's straight or back-leaning, I get retrolisthesis on first bump and need weeks of recovery.
>>29143524but I want cruis control
>>29143531Get a sport tourer, it has some leaning but not like on a real sport bike. Something like ninja 1000sx or whatever it's called or a beemer like mine will fit a manlet perfectly.
>>29143540what a weird engine. is it good?Is it like an aircraft engine since they used to build motors for nazis and shit.
>>29143538throttle lock my beloved
>>29143540>Get a sport tourerThat's what I have, if POS would just run right.
>>29143542It's a boxer engine of course it's good, they produce this exact model for 50 years since 70s and since then it has a boxer engine in it. Oh and it is the first sport tourer ever made btw.
>>29143524Who in the fucking world is advocating for electronic brakes???
>>29143554BMW tried for almost a decade and nearly killed their brand over it
>>29143549if it's good why doesn't anyone else do it? is it expensive?
>>29143558its like Subaruit's retarded, that's why nobody else is doing itideal motorcycle formula is V4
>>29143558Separate cylinders are more expensive and cost saving is the number one priority for majority. Also thought of as unconventional for normies especially among younger ones who can't make instagram photos wearing their new black hoodie and a carbon helmet.Honestly the best part of this engine type is its low center of mass. This cow weighs 235kg but feels more nimble than a typical 200kg beginner bike I rode before.
>>29143562You know a bike with a boxer engine is the most sold bike in Europe, right?
>>29143564who cares they eat up microliter engines turboed to shit that crap themselves after 30k kmBWM bikes are like Harley Davidson of europe: all brand no game
>>29143540gsx650f my beloved
>>29143566Can't be more wrong about both statements. BMW bikes are being actively sold and bought with six figures on the clock and being silently ridden for decades while japanese bike owners dream about their reliability when they sit in a garage with 30k and making 300km each year.Some old farts buy BMW for their name but there's not enough of them to make GS the most sold bike in Europe. It is an amazing machine.
>>29143571>about their reliabilitydon't forget official maintenance with proprietary tools and fucking clutch oil, every 10k or your bike blows upjaps go 40k without maintenance
>>29143572Are you joking, bro? Boxer engines are the easiest engines to work on, everything is right there outside. The driveshaft needs one glass of oil every 40k and that's it. Also the tool is included. I have a feeling you are from Pakistan.
>>29143574I just laughed at BMW loser that was looking for CLUTCH OIL on Saturday, when most stores were clothed, the other day. You're not gaslighting me. I'm sure BMW are incredible machines and I'd like to have 10 years old car if I could, but no, their reliability only lasts if you follow autistic German maintenance to the letter whereas with Japanese bikes, manufacturers understand that humans are lazy and won't maintain machines properly.
>>29143576Was he referring to hydraulic clutch fluid, and just didn't know that you use brake fluid? The boxers are pretty nice for valve adjustments, the only thing that actually sucks on a BMW boxer is if you ever have to actually replace the clutch. Then the bike gets to be split in half.
>>29143578Yes, hydraulic clutch fluid.
>>29143578>the only thing that actually sucks on a BMW boxer is if you ever have to actually replace the clutch. Then the bike gets to be split in halfIt is not since 2012 as far as I remember. And before that the clutch was not your typical motorcycle wet clutch, but a dry car clutch that ran for at least 80k if I'm not mistaken.
>>29143564Yes, the Ural.>>29143571>six figuresRemember, he means KM. Lol.

What do you want, someone to manually re order the OP every time they bake?
>>29143607No it's Mineral Oil, not glycol or silicone based brake fluid. Add DOT fluid and your seals all melt.
>>29143548What's wrong with it?
>>29143614>>29142689I've been investigating and posting this issue for a while. Unhealthy noise in the engine and violent vibration of entire bike after 5K RPM.I've excluded spark, air and fuel to the best of my ability, adjusted valve lash, replaced cam chain and CCT, injectors, fuel filter, spark plugs, re-cut cap leads and measured them etc. down to buying a fucking oscilloscope to measure injector & ignition signal to make sure ECU isn't fried.The bike runs awesome after all of that, great acceleration and pull. But still vibrates by hands feet and dick numb after 20 minutes.I've slapped guitar piezo mic on flat frame bracket and vibration is 2x crank revolution, so it's not something like stator (which I checked) or clutch (which I've yet to check).Given that adjusting valve train didn't do shit - my only remaining guess is that it's an issue with bearings around crankshaft down low, or some esoteric shit with ignition coils that I can't detect despite testing them.Getting the mechanic stethoscope to pinpoint source of noise.Bike was 4500 euros I've already sank ungodly hours and like 2000 in tools and shop work in it. if local market wasn't so tiny, I would have already dropped it and bought another one.
>>29143611Learned something new today, was not aware that was a thing.
>>29143627Is an engine mount bolt snapped somewhere???
>>29143631That was my first idea since previous owner installed sliders with off-spec bolts, but no, doesn't seem like it.I've already removed sliders and replaced upper mounts with oem yamaha flanged bolts. Rested engine on the jack to free up tension from frame and then tightened all mounts to spec etc. Mount holes looked pretty raped, but the threading is still there and bolts fit snugly to spec torque.The vibes and noise are sadly still there.
Anyone familiar with Japanese moto gear? Worth a shit? I am going to be in Tokyo and was looking to possibly pickup a Komine jacket if the price is right. Seems like they offer a bit more for less compared to brands here in the states.
>>29143627Have you tried ridimg another bike of the same model? I have ridden this model (XJ6/FZ6R) and found it to be very vibey from midrange all the way up (hands and feet numb after 10mn). Just sell it what's the point of throwing money at it? Even at a loss. Life's too short to spend months and months troubleshooting a bike instead of enjoying it.
>>29143707I used to have exact same bike exact same year in black color, and it did not have any of those issues. I should have bitten the bullet and brought it with me when I moved. This bike also did not have these issues for the first 2 years, they started around 45K KM ODO. Which gave me hope this is fixable.>Just sell it what's the point of throwing money at it?I would, but the market here is tiny, you could be selling bike or car for years here unless you really drop the price.This was the first summer that I was really cucked out of enjoying it and I will probably not be spending another like that. Will make a decision around new year.At least I've learned wrenching which is a plus. Used to be afraid of taking the airbox off at first, now I'm pretty confident I could disassemble entire engine and get it back together if I had a space for it.
>they stopped making xr650llame as hell
>>29143422Honestly I would just keep all of them, use my favorite one until its time to send it to the trash, then use the other ones.Also fixing zippers and velcro is piss easy, take a bit of time to learn some basic tailoring, it helps tremendously, or if you have a gf, make her learn so she isn't so useless watching garbage on her phone.

>>29143627>>29143636If it's actually 2x crank revolution, that's the frequency of secondary vibrations. I think you should give the raped holes more thought, just because it's torqued to spec doesnt mean the actual clamping force is right. Torque is sort of a secondary measure that relies on the geometry of the surface, and of the threads etc to be correct. To me that sounds like the most likely culprit. Can you weld? You could plug and cut new threads. Did you happen to take a picture of how raped the mounting holes looked without bolts in them?If you look in the manual here https://studylib.net/doc/28063378/yamaha-service-manual?utm_source=google.comYou can also see that there's a sequence for tightening the bolts, did you properly follow that sequence? Otherwise I'd think you're getting resonance from something else. Maybe the exhaust mount isn't correct and that's resonating with the bike above certain frequencies. I also would have a few followup questions >does it vibrate like a cunt on the center/sidestand, ie when stationary, at the rpm limitindependent of drivetrain if so>is it gear independent, 5k rpm in any gear?could be transmission related if so >at 5k rpm, is it load dependent? does it get worse when you roll on the throttle in other words?could be ignition timing related if so>if you shift down to neutral and pull in the clutch, does it keep vibrating?could be clutch related if so >does it get worse over the ride? could be heat related if so>did you synchronize the throttle bodies?Service manual says to do this with the air screws, not using the throttle valve adjustment screws.

IT'S SUCH A FUCKING BEAUTIFUL DAY TODAY. GOSH IT IS GORGEOUS OUT. I SURE HOPE THERE IS NOTHING THAT WILL RUIN THIS FANTASTIC DAY.
>>29143037I'm getting back into biking after some years out. I've never actually got a full bike licence but have ridden plenty. I've finally decided to bite the bullet and go through the tedium of getting my full licence, so I'd like something I can look forward to aka a fun bike to ride when I pass.Ideally I would like a bike that is a daily but that can also be rinsed around on a track day every now and then.I'm torn between 80s/90s Japanese sports bikes like pic related, a 90s Ducati Supersport or a Ducati Monster of somesort.Any thoughts, lads?I'm UK based btw.
>>29144037It's just bants m8, don't get your HD branded panties in a twist.>>29144038If only we could have a bike with the "reliability" of a BMW and the looks of a harley.
>>29144001The tool to change oil is included, which makes it even easier compared to other brands. Observing someone trying to cope by inventing imaginary things is the funniest shit ever honestly.
>>29144034>If it's actually 2x crank revolution, that's the frequency of secondary vibrations.Or it could be one of the connecting rods dangling in a worn bearing at TDC and BDC.>I think you should give the raped holes more thoughtWhen I first unscrewed upper engine mount bolts, all of them had a lot of aluminum powder under them. I have initially assumed that there was some kind of aluminum sleeve between bolts and steel frame hole, because bolts are M10 and hole is 12mm, but no such sleeves exist on parts catalogues and original bolts are flanged. The bolts that previous owner had in upper mounts were not OEM Yamaha bolts. They had correct overall length (to accomodate frame sliders) and thread pitch 1.25.But I winder if previous owner raped the holes with wrong thread pitch bolts first, or overtoqued them with impact wrench.>Can you weld?I cannot. At best I can maybe get a bigger bore thread kit for M12, cut engine holes and put steel threaded sleeves into there. That's what Yamaha does for aluminum frames engine mounts, for example.>Did you happen to take a picture of how raped the mounting holes looked without bolts in them?Picrelated are recent photos. There are no powder anymore because I blowed it all out long ago.>You can also see that there's a sequence for tightening the bolts, did you properly follow that sequence? Yes I followed that page order. I also made a wooden stand to go around exhaust, jacked the engine up entirely and then, put on-spec oem bolts in.>Otherwise I'd think you're getting resonance from something else. I am out of ideas what could be shaking that badly.>Maybe the exhaust mount isn't correct and that's resonating with the bike above certain frequencies. https://www.bike-parts-yam.com/yamaha-motorcycle/600-MOTO/2011/XJ6/XJ6F/EXHAUST/2011_52241-52241/12/0/9639Exhaust is all in one part and connected to the bike at headers and then two rubber-mounts at muffler. They're fine and I also tried dropping exhaust on jack.
>>29144034>>29144043I have heaviest bar ends possible, thick progrips and I filled the neken bar with lead shot and sand.I've also tried various configurations of bar risers to put rubber between bar and bike like on enduro, that doesn't really help with vibes on bar and not the vibes on dick and balls. I can't feel them either after 20m ride.>>29144034cont>does it vibrate like a cunt on the center/sidestand, ie when stationary, at the rpm limitYes it vibrates even when stationary on neutral, on any stand or off of it.>is it gear independent, 5k rpm in any gear?Yes, in any gear, including neutral.>>at 5k rpm, is it load dependent? does it get worse when you roll on the throttle in other words?Not 100% sure. When I let go of throttle in gear the bike still shakes past 5K rpm. But maybe I can try it downhill, in gear, without throttle, for more pronounced effect? I'll try to test this.>if you shift down to neutral and pull in the clutch, does it keep vibrating?Yes, it vibrates in neutral and in gear when clutch is engaged.>does it get worse over the ride? No, it's just as bad cold and hot.>did you synchronize the throttle bodies?Yes, I got 4 gauge kit and did it several times. In my understanding this only affects idle because when throttle bodies are open at higher RPM - the vacuum sync of bypasses doesn't matter anymore.
>>29144068>I'm UK based btw.I'd buy Triumph.
>>29144068The 1980 was almost 50 years ago1990 was almost 40 years agoThese are antiques. Any thoughts? Yeah, don't buy an antique bike as your only bike. Get something used between 5 and 10 years old, or you're gonna spend more time wrenching than riding. If you really like ancient bikes, buy one as your second bike after you've gotten back into riding for a few years. >>29144133>>29144148I'm gonna think about this for a little while. You gave me a couple ideas to ponder and I think I might have an idea but I want to powwow with a friend of mine who also wrenches.
>>29144163>I'm gonna think about this for a little while.Thanks, anon!
>>29144148>>29144163I just want to make sure I'm clear on one thing>it vibrates in neutral in in gear when clutch is engagedDo you mean when you're in neutral but the clutch lever is all the way out, or when you're in neutral and the clutch lever is pulled all the way to the handlebar. Otherwise we're both out of ideas until you start listening with the stethoscope. Good luck king.
who knows anything about wrapping fairings? or where to have it done?
>>29144169>wrappingDeceptively hard ime, I bought wrap once, decided it was a huge PITA, and rattlecanned instead.
>>29144166Clutch doesn't matter: whether it is depressed or not, in any gear including neutral - bike will vibrate. It's RPM dependent.I am not entirely sure if load (throttle) has an influence on it, so I'm going to ride up a mountain and try going downhill in gear, without throttle.
>>29144174Quite a pickle. With such a long list of what it ISNTFinal drive, major components hanging off the frame, engine mounting (probably, the fretting means something was moving, i might look at that again to see if the fretting is back, which would indicate there's still relative motion of parts), not clutch related... very curious. I'll be waiting to hear back about how strongly it reacts to load.
>>29143867Retarded zoomer has never learned how to copy/paste in his fucking life, how pathetic.
>>29144172I believe you I have looked at a couple and from a distance they look good but up close you see creases, seems, and imperfections, I finally found an oem set of plastics and am trying to decide what to do with them. They are in pretty good shape I thought a wrap might be cool...locally the couple places I called won't do them and even a preliminary quote was over 2 grand which is fucking crazy. So DIY or paint I guess... meh Online generic kits range from a 100 or so to over 500 hundred...then I still need to install them without fucking it up. I think paint is going to be the way to go.
>>29144169Get a heat gun as well as various plastic hand wedges to coax the wrap material to shape. It's easier than a car but you need to deal with the quirky material
>>29144186I have a heatgun and some plastic gqueegee type tools i could buy other tools as needed I just feel like I am going to want to punch myself in the face trying for a clean crease-free install lol
What is it like to drive one of these 3 wheelers?
>>29144184Its easier to do good paint prep, as long as you have a cheap humidity monitor and an indoor place you can wrap in plastic, you can get really good results.
>>29144189yucky
>>29144188Just take off your fairings and lift your gas tank. Shouldn't be too difficult aside from some areas that have complex shapes or altering depths. Just have patience anon and take your instead of treating it like a short form swipe algorithm. >pic unrelated
>>29144191I've dabbled in painting in the past I have some of the materials needed and a gun. My father did one of his bikes way back when and could probably help if I needed it but I'm just not sure yet...I almost just want to leave the oems stock and can repaint my race glass If I decide to but honestly the glass is still in really good shape paint-wise. I just don't know which way I want to go. I liked the idea of wrapping the oem so I could still get rid of the wrap if I wanted to and have a nice oem color non modified set for the bike. There's a shop that sells used bikes in Texas iirc and they clearly wrap a bunch of the bikes they sell and they look great. But shit I would have to send the plastic across the country to have them do it and I would think they would prolly want the bike there too to align patterns from piece to piece and whatnot...
>>29143037>DID YOU FORGET ABOUT ME? EDITIONmf you baked the same thread for over a fucking year what do you mean forget? ill quote the whole thing word by word you fucking desperate AI jeet cunt
>>29144180>the fretting means something was movingYeah or previous owner raped it with an impact wrench when installing sliders. Maybe retards that were installing sliders for him, initially used 1.5 pitch bolts and then cut 1.25 over it when they realized? Idk.10k KM since first cleaning out power out of engine mounting holes, and new one did not appear.

>>29143627Are your wheels and other spinning stuff balance?I had speed wobble feeling on my bike at 70kph in 4th gear only. Didn't happen in any other gear or speed just that specific speed and gear. My dad and I looked over it found, nothing wrong. After I got a new pair tyres the speed wobbles went away.
>>29144240>Are your wheels and other spinning stuff balance?The vibration happens even on stationary bike in neutral. I've checked stator for loose magnets and shit and it looked fine. The tires were balanced last year when front rubber was replaced.

Is there a liner or some sort of full-body underwear I could be wearing when riding in 5-10 deg C weather? I'm only 145lbs so not much insulation on me bones.
>>29144522Layer + wind proofing. Fingers will be the week spot anyway.
>>29144522>I'm only 145lbsoh yea, you got any pics?
>>29144522Femoid? I'd say sit on my dick. Otherwise, just get layers on layers. Also heated seats and heated grips. Time for a BMW. If you just want a liner, go to your closest sporting goods store, you'd find some full body underwear, they look gay, but it is what it is.
>>29144533cute rin
>>29144522I'll wear long johns and a pair of tracksuit trousers under my riding trousers (jeans if it's dry, ADV style pants if there's a chance of rain or it's really cold to block more of the wind), a thermal long sleeve top under another regular top, winter gloves as well as hand guards and heated grips, and then either a balaclava or snood to protect my neck. I ride whatever the whether year round so even a little below zero sometimes.
>>29144530>>29144533Nah I'm a guy, 5'10 just skeletonmaxxing.>>29144529>>29144537Thanks, I'll have a look. Tbh I'm really lazy about riding because got to put all the gear on, get the bike out etc... so I was kind of hoping about a really convenient solution. Also multiple layers isn't great when you have an office job with no locker.
>>29144522I have a thin down liner jacket I wear under my leather jacket and it’s good down to 1° C. I wear a neck gaiter and winter gloves down at those temps too.
>>29143693Jap gear is dogshit.
>>29144551Do you not have a car you can use instead? Unfortunately there's not really any way to be comfortable both when it's single digits outside combined with the wind chill of going like 40mph plus and then going into a nice cosy heated office. You can get insulated adv one piece suits that you could more easily remove when you get to your location, then perhaps get some on bike storage to put it in.
>>29144581The waxed cotton aerostich is probably his best bet. Couple that with a gigantic windshield and some temporary leg shields affixed to crash bars or something. There is no escaping the cold wind, most snowmobiles give the rider a ton of wind coverage for a reason.

>>29144180>>29144148>>29144133I tried cutting kill switch when going downhill in gear today. The blocked rear wheel is very distracting, but overall, when engine goes through same 5-9k range on deceleration - the shaking is still there. I can also feel it when I cruise at 10k and then engine-break by dropping throttle little by little: it still shakes when it goes through that range.I listened to hot engine with stethoscope at around 5-6K rpm where shaking appears (don't wanna disturb neighbors too much) - and I could not hear any criminal knocking. Up top the valves are murmuring evenly, down low there's rhythmic sound that doesn't sound offensive.The only bad shit I hear is when I go through a tunnel or along rows of metal shipping containers, in an echo - but that could be my old-ass clutch maybe?Overall - inconclusive. I will try to stethoscope at higher RPM and probe more parts of engine.

I finally got around to "fixing" my clutch on my shitty crackhead 2smoke kit bike!!!It was just seized from disuse and probably just trying to start it would have fixed it. But after taking it apart nothing looked wrong, then when I gave it a wiggle to see if anything would move with it all apart it just kinda did. Reassembled and everything works fine. Might need some adjustment but I don't feel like actually riding it because it is wet out and I don't wanna be field wrenchin on normally sealed machinery in the rain.but now I am looking at storage and "center console" possibilities. what's some pro gamer shit to get on amazon so i can get free shipping after a pair of bottom barrel ammo cans to store electronics and tools and bolt turn signals to (i already have the lights sitting around ready)
>>29144964Often but not always. There seems to be a conflict between ECE 22.06 and DOT which is IMMENSELY frustrating. >>29144987Both of those bikes have pogo stick suspension.
>>29145010>pogo stick suspensionagreed, but with my weight it's gonna be a problem anyway unless I go premium, but I don't have money for that. I 'd figure I'd get something cheaper used and upgrade the suspension or just yolo it until I upgrade to something more long term.I've test ridden a z650, it could technically take me. But I'm thinking the MT07 would maybe be a slightly better bike.
>>29145012>unless I go premium, but I don't have money for thatHow much you plan to spend like max?
>>29145012Kawasaki Versys has more adjustability for suspension, at least.

>>291449872smoke bicycle conversionlrn2wrench
>>29145066There's one near me (UK so nothing's that far) that I could buy in cash... I love the idea but a 30 year old Hinckley bike with questionable spares and repairs availabiluty isn't a priority right now as much as it tickles my want nerve.
>>29145071Go get it! There's still a a decent sum of parts still floating around for these. Triumph platformed shared this bike so hard and used a lot of off the shelf parts (Mikuni carbs, Showa forks etc) it's not bad. You have a home turf advantage going for you too.
>>29145071Bloor Triples were over heavily over engineered, based loosely around Kawasakis best.At one point that triple noise was everywhere and stirred the blood.You either want that or you don't.
>>29145048>it's a piece of shit bike.Uncalled for. They're just unremarkable.
>>29145056he said he is fat
>>291450336000 eur is maximum (before possible suspension upgrades and mods), would prefer less.>>29145037it's tall and heavy
>>29145079So, European fat doesn't require a truck to get you out of your bed.
>>29145082I'm American tier fat, but I don't understand the cub reccommendation though.
>>29145072>>29145075Fuck, guys, I thought I was saving for something Italian or bougie Jap but...https://www.carandclassic.com/l/C2025956
>>29145086Good bike, gettttt
>>29145084Start somewhere here (pic). Is sensible and your laws will not let you have something fast.Bike is thoroughly in the middle of the up down slow fast long short bike style and if you can survive it it will give you a feel of the way you want to go.Take the course.
>>29145080>6000 eur is maximum (before possible suspension upgrades and mods), would prefer less.I bought this for 5k euros and it came with the best suspension motorcycle can have and all gadgets one may wish (apart from the standards hardshell side bags, how I'm gonna tour next year???)
My ass is sore from a 3 hour ride. I need to clean my chain.
You guys out enjoying the day?
>>29145095I did on that pig two posts above, but it's raining and 6°C outside so don't nice photos like you...
what do you guys think of the kle?
>>29145095nice color. both on baiku and trees
>>29145088any fat person would fat through standard 120mm suspension of a road bikefat people need at least an adv
>>29145099I think it's not for 5'8" manlets like me.
>>29145088legally I have no restrictions. that bike seems suitable, but I'd rather have ABS just in case.
>>29145099Piece of shit. The selling numbers are probably laughable too, since Kawasucki dealers put it in front of every other model at the dealership almost on the public part of the street, with their Hybrid model as the second closest behind KLE.
>>29145106Don't be another MT-07 cringer please.
>>29145111why not? explain why it's badI don't cringe, I'm a middle aged
>>29145117Because it is not a good bike, it has the cheapest components installed on them, brakes are meh, suspension is pathetic, the bike has no character, it will sell worse because how many other beginners are selling it. It is a good bike for a driving school, not for a person I think. It is just fine.Get the Suzuki I posted for you. Everything about it is better and fits your budget. It's just a better z650 you asked before.
>>29145129aight, I'm going to look into the Suzukis. sv650 was something I was considering, but the only one listed in my area is over 6000.
>>29144804Its part of the javascript ai botting crap baking all the threadsAnd he copes by calling my shoompost vocaroo and the Shoomers behind it a jeetI am just capable of doing his voice that well, based off the GLA worker from command and conquer generalsIve also been to the middle east, he would not survive naking a single fake and gay o/dbt/ in any of their yoghurt shopsHopefully whoever bakes the next thread isnt nufag cancer trying to phish emails and scam others etc.I was complacent before, but now im getting real tired of this shit, need the based janny to just rangeban his ip permanently ffs, be sure to report if he cooks another o/dbt/ scammer thread, its not the real place for 2 whol discussionEvery accusation of his has been a confession itt; we have one guy(?) calling out his candy ass for a while now baking these dogshit threadsAll boards need ids and flags, and no more memeflags on /pol/
>>29144922ThisThe javascript faggot literally bakes with a script before we hit either bump or image limits, because its in his nature to be a control freak center of attention direxting the flow of user traffic and his little napoleon mental midget shitshow is telling as are his dogshit postsSimilar to the pink horny troon on a shoom effect, they just HAVE to be noticed and circlejerkedThis isnt plebbit, gtfo 4chan
>>29145117Popular thing = le badWhen it was introduced it was a better SV650. Still very popular in sales, the new ones finally got better forks and front brakes at the expense of a hideous headlight. I had the sister bike, the XSR700, and I loved it. Stock exhaust is a bit soulless but they sound great with almost any aftermarket pipe. >>29145111A 750 i4 is wayyyy too much fucking bike for a new rider dude, come on.
>>29145143>A 750 i4 is wayyyy too much fucking bike for a new rider dude, come onRight, let's spend the same money on a worse bike because it has less HP. More great dbt advice at 7.
>>29145149New riders buying anything remotely sporty MOST LIKELY have some interest in going fast. While they still learn how to turn and brake well, having a bike with less of a rocketship of an engine will prevent them from losing the rear as hard when grabbing throttle on corner exit, or carrying too much speed into a turn, etc, as well as go through consumables at a slower rate. A 650-ish twin is already at the very upper end of a learner bike recommendation. This thread's schizophrenic hatred of the CP2 is clouding your judgement. I didn't hear you say anything about the Versys 650's engine despite it being a fucking 180° twin.
they are just so sexy
>>29145155Post a higher resolution image
>>29145154Traction control on Suzuki won't let you lose the rear wheel. Anon, you are trying too hard to call all beginners retards. They might lack the skills but it has nothing to do with how they open the throttle or amount of HP the bike has. Anon who asked for the advice is middle-age fatty with full motorcycle category open, he will be just fine on that zuki, in fact he will be more fine on it knowing he spent his money on a better bike.>I didn't hear you say anything about the Versys 650'sThat's because you didn't listen. It is a piece of shit bike, but it's better than MT07. Anon just does not want it because it's heavier.
>>29145155>>29145161Based
>>29145166>>29145161>>29145155why are they so tall I only got a 30 inch inseam and I'm 5 10
>>29145166I'm probably the only one who thinks this but if I was given a choice for an OFFROAD adventure machine I'd get this Husqvarna no questions asked. It weighs 160kg without fuel and carries 28 liters of it, has an amazing suspension, massive ground clearance, long service intervals and is basically unbeatable somewhere on a trail. Normies love T7 though.
>>29145163Why is the Versys, with an objectively even more boring engine and equivalent brakes, and uglier, better?>>29145175KTM finally made this for real with the 690 Rally. They are still Dukes playing dress up but they are absolutely the most hardcore "ADV".
well /dbt/, just put the bike down for the winterfigures that my final ride this season it had to fucking rain. couldn't get one more sunny day I guessI really have this Canada-USA situation. I want to do more bike trips but there's only so many times I can ride to Ottawa or Montreal before getting bored
>>29145190>Why is the Versys, with an objectively even more boring engine and equivalent brakes, and uglier, better?The engine is a little bit worse but the bike is much better, hence it's better than MT07. 270 degrees pisstwin is still a pisstwin just sounds nicer.
>>29145175This is 100% the choice.Everyone loses sleep over the T7, shilling it on YouTube when in reality it's a boring 2 cylinder engine.Based lightweight thumper always wins.
>>29145212Until just this year, the KTM690/701 only existed as big dirtbikes. The T7 and KTM 790 were the closest bridge between dirtbike and big fuckhuge ADV. This general continues to astound me, people who probably can't even ride a 250 single well calling a 70ish hp twin "boring" off-road.
>>29145204What parts are much better? Have a couple clickers for still more or less the same regular KYB forks? The seat? The riding position? Gear spacing? Elaborate for us plebs.
The Bois are talkin big dirt bikes? HYB
I have no idea what I want to upgrade to. I have a klx 300 and want something fast with good reliability. Looking into klr,drz,dr650,xr650l,t7
>>29145225I don't think any of those are "fast," but fast is relative. Would it be a second bike or a replacement for the KLX?
>>29145004FUCK YOU FURNIGGERFUCK YOU FURNIGGER
>>29145227I ment faster and I'd be selling the klx once I get a new bike. I'm just saving up over winter to get a new bike.
>>29145225Do you ride it every day or as a trail toy? KTM 500 w/plate, CRF450RL with a vortex ECU, Yamaha Wr450f if you can plate it, etc. You're gonna need to be more active with maintenance but valve checks aren't that bad and you'll get a feel for what your actually necessary interval is.
>>29145231I ride like 5000 miles a year I don't wanna change the oil every 1k miles I am lazy. I was looking at the 450rl but that turned me off.
>>29145234wait you are supposed to change oil every 1000 miles on a baiku? or is it a dirt baiku thing?
>>29145235that's how it is with dirtbikes with plates
>>29145235READTHEFUCKINGMANUAL . The 450RL is a detuned racebike motor but does still have pretty short oil change intervals.
>>29145235m8 i had to adjust my fucking chain tension every 10 miles on my moped and mix my own fuel and shit, to say nothing of the rest of the bike whose critical failure interval could be measured in weeks, let alone preventative maintenancemodern motorcyclists are pampered babies
>>29145258well thats good cause Im a pampered babie
>>29145229Ahh, I see. This anon has some good suggestions >>29145231. I sometimes think about going the CRF450RL route. I know the new DRZ4 can make 40whp with a pipe and tune, but I don't know if that's enough of a jump to justify replacing the KLX.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rhw7rpzOIag
>>29145261The DRZ will likely not wow you a ton coming from the klx300.
>>29144873The Indian chief vintage is extremely ugly because it’s in the uncanny valley of retro design If they were going to go this far they needed a high mounted seat, they needed more period correct bar shapes
>>29145231>CRF450RL with a vortex ECUwhy is it so shit without tunning
>>29145260cute
>>29145324For a while the aftermarket companies weren't able to crack the factory ECU. I guess for road legality, they had it tuned STUPIDLY lean and it would flameout a lot.
Why don't you just build a motorcycle?
>>29145313https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFwXbp9bLlY
>>29145390Fascinating
>>29144922No I think we are going to make it
>>29145450hell yeah
>>29145450im offended not because its furfag shit (im a huge furfag) but all that shit must add so much weight and rigidity and points of failure and just be a huge fucking pain in the ass when motorcycles are already inherently unreliable
>>29145450
>>29145457>motorcycles are already inherently unreliableStop being poor.
huh? How long have I been in the other thread?>>29140612>thouht you were joking>It's an electric scooterWhy are they still trying to compete with ebikes they will never win
>>29145493>Why are they still trying to compete with ebikeshybrids just arent there yet
>>29145457>motorcycles are already inherently unreliableHuh? They have a fraction of the failure points of any other ICE vehicle.
>>29145313Retarded takeThe new chief is more vintage than anything the shield pirate is pushing
>>29145510fair but normies do not maintain their own vehicles
>>29145494Kill yourself!
i actually kinda want the new RW700
>>29145537These things are going to sell amazingly here among arabs/blacks/turks, etc... They love Yamaha scooters and the tenere.
>>29145537And you didn't want a Honda ADV scooter or it's chink clones because ...?
>>29145690How many night wolves drug couriers on bikes you get across from border through Karelia?
>>29145637I like cp2if they put transalp engine into xadv then sure
>>29145709>I like cp2
>>29145637I'm gonna go with this one and say that if you wanted an ADV scooter, you can't beat a hondr. It was dumb for Yamaha to enter that market in the first place
>>29145709On a scootr tho? A scootr made for the city with off-road as an afterthought?Listen I am wrong about almost everything, but this is something I am fairly confident about: This thing is going to be a terrible off-roader compared to the T7. You know all those problems the T7 has with it being very top-heavy until it hits some momentum? That problem hasn't gone away. It's made worse by the short wheelbase when you're in a low-traction environment. I'm sure you could manage it, anyone can manage anything, but it's not going to be the kind of thing you would expect from a Tenere, it weights 10kg more, has less horsepower, lower clearance, lower seat height. It's selling the idea of off-roading to the kind of people who would buy a T7 and then never take it off pavement or light gravel. https://www.torquepedia.com/vs/yamaha-rw700-2027-explore-vs-yamaha-tenere700-2026-rally
>>29145450Is this what I look like when I put on my jacket and riding pants?
>>29145697Zero, they all come from haaparanta through kemi, on the swedish border.They're also 90% shitskins of some sort, the rest are poles.
>>29145175FE 450 Factory for me imo, if you want the ultimate offroad bike.
Hey question is something like Lucas a bit too heavy for a motorcycle? Would going with a higher weight oil just be a better solution since my engine is only 650cc and the oil doesn't have long to travel to hit the head, anyway? I know something that maybe uses splash lubrication like some ancient engines benefit from it, but anything modern has way tighter tolerances to where the extra stickiness wouldn't improve things, right?
>>29145810Lucas is snake oil, it causes foaming in oil that has anti-foaming agents, which means less oil because foam is a mixture with air. Avoid. You have a manual, use the oil weights in the manual.https://web.archive.org/web/20080725012919/http://www.bobistheoilguy.com/images/lucas/lucas.htm
>>29145810viscosity is important because the crank and cams are fluid bearings, fluids are incompressible which is why they become a floating fluid bearing and viscosity is a crucial aspect to this idea. Too high or low and the effect could fail leading to direct metal on metal contact. Use the correct viscosity outlined in the service manual
>>29145782>FE 450 Factory for me imo@>change oil every 10 hours>fully service forks and rear shock every 45 hours>replace pistons, connection rods and all bearings in hr bike every 135 hoursAh I love the smell of an adventure in the morning.
