>isn't a sticker on the visor annoying as fuck?
blind in my left eye, cant even see it.
>>15319155
down as in toward the handle bars making it lower at the front or higher?
raising the front end will fix that, lowering it will make it worse.
lowering it also fucks with the handling of the bike, reduces the lean angle the bike is capable of to begin with and also reduces your braking power by taking weight off the rear wheel and putting it on the front wheel.
>>15319164
its ok. i picked it cause its the most quiet mechanical keyboard i could find.
id like to build something with some cherry clears though.
>>15319177
Lower. Good to know. When I take the fairing off next I'll put it back to standard height.
>>15319143
True.
They do make a whole lot of boring bikes. Honda motorcycles and Honda cars are very similar.
We can all hope and pray for a new XRR, Blackbird, and RC51 though.
>>15319169
considering most of time at that time you were riding on deserted highways at like 50 mph I'd say it was pretty safe
So my bikes front pegs hinge up but have spring tension to stay down, what is the point of this?
>>15319182
Well i have the same one and i think its pretty aight, nothing too special

You misheard. He was explaining that the Harley is neither of those things.
>>15319177
Just checked my book and I actually put it to standard height. I can raise the front a little, though, will this make me faster through the bends?
>>15319185
drop it the forks down as low as they will go in the triple clamps considering your front tyre, as long as half a millimeter or so is still poking through they arent going anywhere,
it will make a huge difference in pretty much every aspect of the bikes handling
>>15319199
basically yeah.
>>15319173
oh okay, looks pretty cool

>Putting the forks lower in the triple (raising the front end) will make it more stable but it will be much harder to turn in.
>>15319209
his bike is below the balance point, it will make it handle better and it will also make it brake better because the rear wheel will actually have a little bit of weight on it.
wouldnt have to do it if he had a tyre that was 10mm taller

what the fuck
local media reported nothing i didn't even knew of that until 2 minutes ago
>>15319287
shim actually goes under the bucket but nice try.
Shim and bucket valve adjusters are great though. Easier to get the feeler gauge in there and rarely go out of adjustment. A lot of people like the screw and jam nut because it's easier to adjust, but I actually found it easier to take out the cams to change the shims than to try to fit a wrench and screwdriver in that tiny area under the frame to adjust the screw.

why is /dbt/ so hung up on big bikes?
in the city a small bike is so much more fun to ride and makes so much more sense than ruining your 2nd gear on a supersport racing light to light
i just took my old 175 for a boot for old times sake and it was a blast going through all the gears and just whipping it around like a litte toy
175 is a bit on the extreme end but it keeps up with city traffic ok and my 250 is faster than most things on the road
i live in canada so i have bigger bikes for driving longer trips at faster speeds but i can't imagine trying to get around europe on a supersport and just destroying the transmission all the time
>>15319291
You're using the same set of sight skills. Have fun applying the brakes late because you thought that car was 100ft ahead instead of 30.

aww shieet son. But if it weighs over 400 lbs it'll be pointless.
>>15319611
surely it can't take them that long to take off the rear plastics and throw a rally fairing on the front, and swap on spoked wheels.
>>15319608
i'd wear abrasion protection pants under it anyways, i guess it would just be for more safety
>>15319608
>you will own it for years if it's any good

>>15319612

oh, and also, the bike is waiting, all the documents are in order, but the one thing missing is the 48 HP kit. FUCK my life
>>15319716
The 660 has potential for a lot more power, they just come super corked up from the factory. But yea, the weight is absurd, same with the Super Tenere.

Anyone else have their knee protectors move around on their overpants?
It's annoying.
They move side to side a bit too much and while they fit over my knees when my legs are bent what happens if I go down and my legs are strait? I really don't want to bash my knees.

Does /dbt/ think changing the headlights on a Triumph Scrambler from the stock single one to a twin config would look stupid, and would it be difficult?
>>15319885
I do but my overpants are shit, I need to look for new ones.
>>15319876
What about the higher end CBRs?
>>15319887
It would fit the hipster look of the bike
Too bad hipsters deserve gassing
>>15319901
worst in their class
>>15319887
Nah, I think if you use the right headlight to match the bike it would look alright. If you want twin headlights, go for it.
>>15319902
Are you American, genuinely curious, I live in the UK and I have never seen a hipster on one before over here, probably due to the fact that Triumph is British so its not really a hipster choice, it is a mainstream brand.

your MSF instructor is completely right. They're amazing for learning, they're really easy to ride, you just ride 2km and it's like you've always been on that bike, they're reliable as fuck too, but you have 0 sensations, 0 character.
>>15319267

Something weird happened yesterday
I was cruising down a small mountain and decided to shift into neutral, just because. as I wanted to shift into first because the mountain came to an end, i pulled in the clutch and pushed my foot down. but, even though the clutch was pulled in, the shifter began to shake pretty hard, and showed some strong resistance.
is this normal, or is my bike finally fucked?
Anyone here ride Triumph?
>>15319963
No
>they all broke down
>>15319963

it's pretty shit
>>15319962
you were moving while you tried to put it in gear? At what speed?
>>15319963
yeah there's a few people with street triples iirc
>>15319974
i don't quite recall, maybe 30 km/h. and yes, I was , but i pulled the clutch in
>>15319963
Yes.
>>15319808
ProCycle sells a 790 big-bore kit, cam, head, valve, etc. upgrades that'll get a DR650 to that at least. I may go full retard on mine in a couple of years if I have the spare money.

Something similar happens with my bike. Basically it shifts into neutral+. Shifting out for me leads to either a louder/heavier shift than usual or I just stay in neutral.

still impressive

>>15320015
no, i shifted into neutral from second intentionally, but it didn't want to go back into first for whatever reason
>>15320016
>900 build
Hory Shet.
As for the 790 kit dyno chart, I think that's representative of just that kit alone with the usual airbox, carb, and exhaust, not including the cam and headwork. I'd like to see what it'd be with the works.

Damn, hopefully its not your gearbox
>>15320030

>>15320015
>>15319979
That's how transmissions work. The input shaft slows down a lot when it's in neutral, so when you put it back in gear even with the clutch in it has to suddenly speed up a significant amount.
To help smooth it out rev up your bike in neutral before you pull your clutch and click it into gear.
>>15320044
good to know, cheers bruv
>>15320020
Occasionally I'll have to let the clutch out in neutral then pull it back in to get first to take.
>>15320013

Have to do the same thing with automotive manual transmissions sometimes. Rotating the gear teeth just a little can make the difference between being an asspain to shove into gear and having it slot in perfectly.

Where in the blue fuck can I order an ignition switch for an 06 Suzuki SV650S? I've searched everywhere and only GSXR stuff and SV1000 stuff comes up.

Husqvarna USA website says 67HP stock on the 701 Enduro (same as 690 in case you didn't know).

I will be in the same position soon, I have a 2007 model which like most has a really large twin exhaust, is it easy to make that a much smaller lighter single one?

ein typ in rosenheim versucht vor cops auf seinem mopped wegzufahren, sie zwacken ihn total während der eine bulle aussteigt und ein schoko eis schleckt und der fahrer ihm sagt dass sein motorrad scheiße ist. ziemlich lustig

Are you dense?

All handlebars are 7/8" outer diameter and the wires will all be the same. At the worst you might have the change the connectors to fit the wires.
>The Keihin electronic fuel injection system features a 46 mm throttle body with no mechanical linkage to the throttle grip. As the rider twists the throttle open or closed, the throttle valve is electronically controlled by the engine management system (EMS)
BUT MUH FEELS

The OE carb on the DR650 is really low-rent. Also, there's quite the "booger weld" inside the exhaust flange, the unmodified airbox is stuffy, and the OE muffler is silly restrictive. Fixing those issues alone will get you over 40HP. Increasing displacement with a better piston design in combination with the aforementioned mods would feasibly get you >50. That said, I'm having plenty of fun with my mostly-stock (some model of FMF muffler), 36ish HP tractor.

Not a starter switch.... the Ignition switch... you know....where you put your key and turn?

I don't think bikes are your speed, should probably stick to a car.
Everyone I know that watches anime/reads mangas is extremely weird and disgusting. what's wrong with these people?
>>15320192
they watch moeshit.
there are plenty of alphas who watch alpha anime like GitS, Cowboy Bebop and Monster.
>>15320143
I'm it has to be a 2:1 so you probably have to buy a new system.
