Hey dbt, going to look at a suzuki T-500 2 stroke, 2 cylinder soon. I used to own a similar year GT-750 but blew the engine on it, always wanted another smoker. You guys think it will make a reliable enough daily rider?
cannot into mapping because mac, and not app compatible ;_;
>>15366476

>>15366485

>>15366496

MT-07, my bad.
RIP DRZ
someone post the info on webm for retards pls,
settings and tips etc
>>15366496
Is there a release date for that thing yet?
My penis wants it.
>>15366529
nope.
>>15366476

Should my chain be completely dry before I lube it? I just washed it down as per the instructions of the cleaner with water.
honda a shit
How do chains work? Is there a standard type that most bikes use? I need to replace the master link, as well as get a spare or two for when I'm off-road, but I'm not sure what to actually get.
>>15366629
Look in the manual for what size your chain is and order the same size, and type (o ring, x ring, whatever). Spares should usually be clip type so you can put it back on when you're innawoods.
>>15366589
>Cleaning your chain with water
Don't do that. Get some chain cleaner or use Kerosene, brush it on and brush all the gunk off, wipe excess off with paper towel or rag, let the cleaner dry then apply chain wax
Can someone redpill me on this style of bike?
Maybe the advantages and disadvantages over a sports bike?
>>15366397
I am in love with this pic... I've been trying to find more of this person for years now. Do you happen to have anymore of this chick (assuming)?! Gah.. Man, that is HAWT. SERIOUSLY.
>>15366629
>>15366665
520/525 chains are NOT standardized for links
you cant mix and match links from different companies
if you dont know the brand and specific model you have get a new chain and sprocket set and go from there.
i already had this problem with one of my bikes and its annoying as fuck. the standardization is only for what sprockets they fit.
>>15366691

>>15366703
Thanks anon. My dad seems to like that look so I just wanted to know how what I was buying for him compares to what he has.
>>15366703
I don't have any source but I feel like most "normal" people prefer the looks of cruisers and old style standards like the Bonnie or CB nakeds to sportbikes or the like
>>15366725
Trying to quantify what "normal" people like in a bike is as dumb as trying to say "all bikers like x kind of bike" everyone has an opinion and in my experience they're usually pretty different.
>>15366701
That is pretty dumb. Welp, I'm pretty sure that the chain on my bike is the original one. Previous owner took it off at some point and neglected to replace two of the O rings on the master link, so it's starting to rust. Damnit.
what ever happened to this? development hell? would buy.
>>15366746
Normal means the average
People who ride form their opinion on experience
People who don't ride like whatever the media is pushing

>developing anything other than commuters
>>15366759
you can try getting a micrometer on it and hunt down the proper link or you can just replace the whole setup and not have to worry about it for quite some time.
>>15366766
EU and japan's new license tiers
US' emissions
No market for it
>>15366746
Although with this being said every normie I ever met thought my DR650 was gay as fuck, which I found kind of funny.
>>15366769
I'd say cruisers are still preferred but yunguns seem to like the old style standards now.
>I'm one of them

Fuck, they are all gonna be ruined
>>15366783
Fuck them. I want one.
I took my first bike out for my first ride today around a parking lot. First gear and a little of second. She was smoking just a little after a few rounds. Is this just oil being burned off? The shop is closed until Tuesday.
I had the clutch in a bunch going slow around corners if that makes a difference.
'98 XT350 is the bike.
>>15366695
there's a pic posted here frequently of a grill on a DRZ who I assume is the same person
>>15366819
mine makes black smoke if i rev it with the choke on
>>15366823

What grinds your gears?
>>15366856
how do you do that? is that a defective part?
>>15366856
wat fuk
>>15366839
Sorry, the part in the picture was smoking. It was light grey smoke. It wasn't from the tailpipe.
Hey /dbt/.
https://youtube.com/watch?v=HSPcsPDST0Y
>>15366864
what part you forgot to circle it
>>15366925
Given that there's crud on it, I'm guessing that's what's smoking but would like to make sure.
>>15366520
After I finish having a shit and go to my laptop.
>>15366860
Clutchless shifting under hard acceleration will do it to your 2nd gear
>>15366912
>cars dont get into accidents
chicken strips ftw
>>15366947
Clean it all up with degreaser, so you can be sure where it is coning from.
It does look like it could just be from the rocker cover seal.
>>15366951
Thats why you dont do it from 1-2 and vice versa.
Been wanting to ask this for a while, but what's the reason for all the hate on Harley Davidsons?
I technically own a sportster, but I'm a newfag to bikes and have yet to ride it.
Are they generally just considered shit or is it the actual expense of the bike?
>>15366991
Overpriced
Unreliable
General faggots that own them
Cringe af marketing
Crack whores
>>15366974
Thank you. It's okay to use degreaser & scrape it off and then rinse with water? I can hose everything down except the air filter (under the seat) and the tail pipe (needs a plug)? Sorry, I'm really new.
>>15366991

>>15366912
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WgBTghut5m4
>>15367014
Yeah thats fine. Just do it while it is stone cold.
Only need to clean up all the baked on gunk on the head. Then go ride and see where it leaks from. But looking at thise pics I'd say its just the cover seal. A new one to replace it wont cost much.
>>15366991
pretty much what
>>15367002
says,
awful marketing towards burly 'life at the outpost' americans, low construction quality, incredibly expensive parts, poor performance:price ratio, and nobody will really enjoy your presence outside of a harley meet
>>15367033
>>15366991
forgot to add, with that being said they can be incredibly comfy to ride and usually have all the creature comforts you want. In the end it depends on what you're looking for in baiku
>>15367026
Thank you very much. She doesn't leak. She's parked on clean concrete and nothing was under her this afternoon. She just got out of the shop - needed new gasket, new shims and the tubes needed replacing. So, theoretically, she shouldn't have any issues. I'd ask the shop themselves, but they're closed for five days.
hey dbt, about to buy my first bike, im looking around and managed to find a yamaha yzf rz3 for a pretty good price (around 3k) but its been dropped. the owner said that it was only cosmetic damage, and the only thing major is that the front fender is broken. is something like that an immediate write-off or is it possible the bike is in good shape? its just hard to find anything besides a ninja 250 for a good price here, and i wanted something a little more interesting for my first bike without buying something that will get me killed.
also, how much can i expect to pay in insurance monthly on a bike?
>>15366991
I don't like the corporation for what they did to one of the most passionate and innovative minds in motorcycling history, all he ever did was show them love and they shit on him every step of the way. As far as I'm concerned as a fan of motorcycles, it's immoral to financially support the continued existence of a corporation so detrimental to the progression of the motorcycle as HD. If you want to know more, please read an article called "The death of buell"
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0BzY3VEy-TGy3ZERDS3VLd0lYR1E
The fact that a tiny corporation could actually put out a world class bike after getting thrown in the dumps by HD is truly astounding, imagine if they had the funding of larger companies.
>>15367084
No it's probably fine and picking up something already cosmetically damaged is your best bet as a nublet because chances are you might add to that damage within a few months.
If you want to know for sure, get a mechanic to inspect it and check the forks are straight and everything is in working order.
>>15367084
Can't really do much if you don't specify a general location. Bike insurance differs by area and country.
As for your "first" bike, I'd stay away from ninja 250s and R3s if your insurance companies classify bikes as "extreme" bikes, as those will carry much higher insurance premiums
>>15367086
>tfw too young to be able to afford an 1190RX and insure it
>>15367084
you're going to want to replace the fender asap because without that you're going to be hailed with rocks and gravel and shit. Where are you located?
>>15366856
Ouch. That sucks.
I recently lunched the shift forks and drum on my zx6r track bike. Each shift fork is $120 (3 of them) plus $250 for the drum. Saved on money by doing it myself though. Dropped in a factory pro shift kit at the same time.
>>15367086
>tfw Ferd or some other similarly massive company will never throw millions of dollars at EBR then leave them alone
>>15367084
I just bought my first bike beginning of June. I had the guy take it to a local shop to get ok'd first. The seller actually suggested without me having to mention, so that was really nice. You will pay for the inspection. If they find something, you'll be able to negotiate the price.
>>15367096
>>15367097
>>15367098
>>15367112
i live in the eastern US, and i would definitely check the bike out first/get someone to look at it. i dont mind buying something cosmetically damaged, i just dont want to buy a bike thatll die in two weeks because the owner said it was only cosmetic damage and the whole thing was fucked. should i see if i can get a friend to loan me a pickup to haul it to the shop? or would it just be an immediate turndown if the guy isn't willing to ride it there
about how much would a new fender be?
>>1536711
found an aftermarket carbon one for $140
http://www.ebay.com/itm/YAMAHA-R25-R3-2016-MT03-CARBON-FIBER-Front-Fender-/371474476266
probably in the realm of $100 if you look around more.
He should be able to ride it to a shop, if he's unwilling to do so then you should ask why. It will probably be a bullshit reason.
>>15367128
sweet, i could definitely swing 100 bucks for a new fender. i guess ill call the guy when i get paid and ask him when hed be good to meet

>>15367420
Got any bike bro's?
>>15367451
It was? i got paid out the amount of a brand new on, approx 8K. Spent 1600$ on my 07 Ninja 250 and put the rest away.
Learnt from my shitty mistakes and got better.
Took my mind off the road while mind celebrating about having a licence, target fixated on a pole and panic braked into it. Easily avoidable and 100% my fault.
>>15367451
It's good man, running a little rich right now but I should probably rebuild the carb anyway. Got the 300 back together?

ahhk fair enough, that was smart of ya to buy a shitty bike to practice on, at least you learned a lesson and didnt get seriously hurt
>>15367469
Pity it was a nice bike too, ah well have not had any sort of incident since. taken 3 advance riding courses and doing a beginner track course in September.
Taught me about panic braking and target fixation real quick as well.
>>15367461
Probably wouldn't hurt, not really a big deal having it run rich though thats just more lube.
And yeah its back together, gotta get it registered before i can ride it though so the current project is putting the crf250 back together because it still has 8 months rego on it

don't think I'll ever go to 11 o'clock on the SV. It's not really made for such abuses and as long as your willies are chasers you're not gonna loop it which is rather catastrophic on street bikes.
I might go harder into willies once I pick up my eventual 2t trail bike whether that be a 200/250/300 exc, RMX250, KDX200/220 etc. but there is a 0% chance of me trying coasters or whatever on this bike.

If it's a small and light one (KLR/DR650, DL650, Versys 650, F650GS etc.)
sure.

Hi CTA
Just bought a '83 Suzuki GS550E today for $700. Rides pretty good and is in decent shape, the brakes will need to be done though and it'll probably need a carb job soon. Do you need to take the back wheel off to do the rear pads?

>OC has a common trait with riding skill
not like it being his 3rd time offroad could be part of it or anything
>>15367975
its worth a try at least, it might be pretty flat feeling though
>>15368017
sorta but I don't do big 10+ second long wheelies and according to JHS racing who build racing SVs (like the one in this pic) it's fine as long as the oil is filled to the top line.
I don't wheelie often anywho (don't do it on the roads as one of the few times I did I got a ticket), just a bit of fun every now and them.
>>15368019
50,000 + kms of my abuse and it's going strong. That's more than most things last.
>>15368003
Worst part about them is they are topheavy. Otherwise they make pretty good first bikes

Everyone gets accused of being CTA.
It could be CC81PT, as I have seen pics of his with beer in a glass. That's if you go by that one anons extremely loose "evidence".
>>15368037
>it might be pretty flat feeling though
I might like it honestly, by only gripe with the Fatty is it's got no power down low. Not ideal coming from 4t thumpers to have to rev up for power. I'm still learning.

Thats fresh out of the shop and they did some engine work? They shouldn't be breaking seals on a dirty ass engine like that. Clean is important when playing in the internals. Thats embarrassing, find a new shop.

cruisers were designed around dirt roads in the first place, they stem from an era in which proper paved roads weren't ubiquitous but dirtbikes as a concept didn't exist yet.
Low and long, no rear suspension....what does that remind you of?
>>15368113
idk why people are so scared of dirt roads, it is surprising how fast you can go down them on a bike, unless you are colin mcrae generally you can go down most dirt roads faster on a bike than in a car
>>15368083
You probably won't believe me, but it's not me.

I was just using it as an example, but still. We never know.

If it was just in the shop for that sort of work to the head, its should not be leaking at all.
Are you sure it wasn't just leftover oil from grubby mechanics not cleaning it up properly after doing that work?
>>15368147
I feel like gramps said it was him at some point but i might be mistaken
>>15368085
What she was before, that's sparkling clean.
>>15368153
I think you're right that it's just left over oil. The previous owner left her sitting dirty in a garage all winter with a leaky gasket. I don't think he cleaned her at all during riding season.

Yeah he did, some anon asked about new cummies and he said he was too tired to make more.
Not surprised considering his last effort, watery with little to no swimmers in it. Those x rays have fried his balls.
Triumph Street Triple
MT09
MT07
SV650
Which one, considering I have the budget for a used MT09/Triumph or a new MT07/SV650?
>>15366703
Standards are much more forgiving and less likely to kill you than a sport bike.
Much more comfortable too.

How are you planning on riding it?
See I don't like MT-09s much for my riding purposes but they might suit yours etc.

All these bikes fit the exact same niche, give or take a bit of wheelie power. I just can't decide between them because the category has been refined so fucking much over the past century.
Have an HJC CL 15 and i want to buy a mirrored shield for driving in the daytime, im thinking either gold or silver
my helmet is all black and my bike is black and white and my bag is black and orange
any opinions
the shield would be a HJ-09 as that is what goes with my helmet
>>15366691

>>15368260
The silver/metallic option would look best.
Personally, I'd go for the most fluorescent color option as an accent to your otherwise dark setup.
>>15368260
Ditch the HJC and get an Arai.
Greatest helmets ever (provided you don't have a weird shaped head that doesn't fit them properly)
>>15368275
thats what my girl just said
>>15368256
I like old bikes, friends of the family are all into vintage racing (I've gone to watch them at the tracks before, I think it's fantastic, great display of pure love for motorcycling) and my dad was a racer back in the era of those bikes themselves.
Unfortunately I'm on LAMS so I'm not allowed to speak to you, just wait a year or so and we'll chat then.
>>15368259
Maybe outwardly, to me there's a large gap between what say the Street triple and the MT-09 represent.
They're the inverse ideology, one is more motor than chassis and the other is more chassis than motor.
The MT-09 and the striple might be naked inline 3s but that's where the similarities end for me.
>>15368260
Just be aware that the mirrored visors scratch real easy, so be careful with it.
>>15368285
For those comments I will let you off the hook...I was once a LAMS victim, so I got those feels.
I also raced 250's for a bit....
Guess I just outed myself!!
>>15368288
thanks man, and i always bag it up as soon as im done riding so hopefully i will be good
>>15368298
I have a AGV with a really dark tinted screen, which has held up well on the road. Bit of bitch in winter or dusk/night. But robust and great on a sunny day.
Discovered Super sports are not comfortable touring bikes
>>15368304
winters in miami so i shouldnt have a problem, and i have a clear shield for night rides
