Previous Thread: >>14049847
Can someone explain to me what is wrong with the left picture?
What SD card do you guys use for your GoPro's? Should I get a 34 gig or a 64 one?
I'm really just using it for insurance reasons, I doubt i'll be doing any hooning on my boring commute.
>>14051455
It's been worn nearly flat.
>>14051455
Are you joking or..?
The splines are completely gone..
>>14051400
damn, that's too bad
>>14051383
>Magst du mir verraten wo du dich mit ihm getroffen hast? Bzw. wo er her kommt?
somewhere near Euskirchen, I don't know exactly where he lives
we met somewhere in that area and headed off towards the Nürburgring, but not all the way to there
>>14051455
how did you manage to do that, r80/7 anon
>>14051455
It's a little out of focus for starters
>Mah dual sport
Can i start wearing my old gear again yet?
I feel like it would be hilarious to see someone wearing dirt bike riding gear on a road bike.
>>14051416
>>14051458
Every GoPro from 3 Silver on has the looping function so even a 16gb will do. Looping = Overwriting old footage if the card is full.
If recording at 1080p60 this translates roughly to
16gb = Last ~75 Minutes
32 gb = Last ~2 1/2 hours
64 gb = Last ~5 hours
If you record at 30 FPS, you can roughly double the times. And at 720p it's even more.
TL;DR
32GB is fine.
>>14051487
Thanks m8
>>14051509
You would honestly have more fun on a DRZ125 or a KLX125 than you would a grom.

I only get 2hr40m from a 64gb on a hero4 silver. 1080p60fps with protune on.

best offroad capable bike that could be avaivable for about 700€?

>they don't fit on my generic japanese bike

I suppose I could make them fit with a saw and some patience, but then I'd ruin them. Decisions, decisions...
Only about one week of sitting at home left, then the time begins where I'll be sitting at home all day... but at the home where my bike also is. Here's to hoping the weather holds.
Anyway, what's up dudes.

No, that's scheduled for this weekend when I'm there with dad. Already have the oil, filter etc lying around, just no time to do it so far.
Also I should probably soon scout out the nearby Honda dealer for parts so I can change the fork oil as well over the winter.

Whats the wind noise in the gt air like and how much was it? i was going to have to fork out $600 for one, paid $270 for the HJC.

I went from a cheapish dual sport style helmet to the GT Air and it's so quiet it actually scared me. It was uncomfortable because I'm used to getting the full experience of riding including the winds, but it feels like I'm in a room by myself. I got used to it and it's a surreal feeling of calmness and then you look down and your speedometer says 141.
>>14051808
Yeah man, I have the worst Yamaha and a CBF250.

This. Sportsbikes usually have a pretty high range to push them down.
Yet i can happem that you touch the road with your footpeg. Its important to not freak out. It happened to me once or twiche maybe more often but i try to reduce it by hanging off.
Usually footpegs give space when they touch the ground so they wont work as a lever.
But as that anon said. Take your time. Its fun that i take right corners easy, touch the ground and think i coulve went fast but havent touched the ground once in left corners.

Did these on a almost 40y.o. bike.
>>14052045
foot down was a "oh shit" reaction to how far I was leaning
>>14052054
So what you are saying is you had 15% race tyres on your bike in poor weather conditions, had it leaning in the 15% range and expected it to have more grip?
And now you are going to try and tell me a thinner tyre that is not as tall is allowing your bike to handle better?
Righto champ.
And i am the idiot here.
>>14052085
Foot down is a panic reaction. Are there some training like things in your area?
The best thing to learn to ride is being teached by an instructior on a track. And not only an instructor who tells you how to take corners but also how to take corners with that exact bike you have. Every fucking bike has to be handled in an other way. Thats why i did several trainings with different bikes...

>>14052193
Those tyres are smaller, we have the same sized rim. that is probably why you feel more confident because you literally can not lean your bike over as far any more.
>>14051817
>Must suck having to pay off a Ninja 650 and not being able to afford good things :^)

>>14052227

>>14052238
dude, it was the reason i bought them. seller assured me that 15% of the tyre is made from used motogp rubber.

Question for testing on an issue I'm having: bike bogs down and stalls after it fully warms up. After coooling off, it'll start fine. No leaks found, sparks look good before I ride and have spark. I wanna get it on the interstate, but after 10-15, it no longer has power.
Would the stator or the volt regulator be the cause?
>>14052280
Also, I'm the GS550. The other guy was a fan of my bike.
>>14052280

>>14052280

>>14052292
Carbs were cleaned recently. I would understand if it was having a bad idle or hard time starting, but its only at heat that I lose power.
>>14052329
fuel line to carbs?
>>14052280
Check for clogged or kinked fuel lines.
The carb bowls will eventually fill while you think you are letting it cool down, but while running the carbs will thirst for more fuel than they can get.
>>14052329
change spark plugs?
>>14052306

>>14052238
>>14052256
read picture
>>14052233
And the only way i could see that happening is you were leaning the bike past its treads somewhere you shouldnt have been.
And sorry i was wrong about the width, your tyres are 189mm wide by 94.5mm tall where as the PP3's are 188.8mm wide by 103.8mm tall.
The reason you feel more confident is because the tyre is a lower profile, basically it is the same deal as the last tyre i had which felt way better because i could not lean the bike as far but i was going much slower.
Sorry if i sound like a dick i don't try to i just never sleep so im always over tired.

Luckily, it has one! And the bag too.
Looking through the last video on my GO Pro before my bike got stolen. The covered bike in the back got stolen a weeks later, it was an R6. Mine was found, his wasn't.
>>14052376
Also i don't have a pp3 on the front, i have a regular 2CT specifically because it is taller than the pilot power 3 front. my bike was too low to the ground before i got these tyres.
>>14052388
Looks comfy. Load it with panniers. Also clean your exhaust and engine.
>>14052405
Exhaust needs replacing. Rusted out on the bottom, and patches are the only way to hold back pressure right now. And I want the engine to run well first before a cleaning. No point in cleaning if it ain't rolling.
>>14052416
Have you thought about custom painting it? I'm not a fan of logos myself. That fuel tank would look gorgeous in some pearl paint.
>>14052421
I'm torn on doing anything outside of oem on it. On one hand, I'm fine with doing temporary/removable things, and keeping the stock stuff stored away. But you can't find 35+ year old bikes with paint this good. And that means better selling price down the road.
Its like if you took a walther and painted it with a Jewish star.

Alright Br/o/s, got a issue with my bike running hot on stand still (up to 109 Celsius) then dropping down to 95-99 once I'm going. Happy with the temp to about 104. Did an oil change yesterday running 10-40 WT. Bike is a K8 Gixxer 1000.
>>14052855
I dont know how it is on that exact model but bikes tend to overheat when idling. But maybe change your coolant to a decent mix.
>>14052855
inline 4s get hot when standing still.
try a coolant change if it worries you that much though. or look into a fan upgrade kit.
>>14052874
Might be right Homie, got a 900km ride tomorrow so I'll top it up before I leave.
>>14052497
>dont have to wake up tomorrow
>finally got rid of your mom
>discovered early how dependable that bitch of a gf really was
you one lucky muhfuggah m8.
>>14052893
As long as you keep moving it shouldnt overheat. If it does there is something wrong. Just try to avoid cities or filter.
>>14052906
It's pretty much all motorway, only real danger is raging families in mom's minivan trying to merge onto me.
>go out and search multiple shops for all the shit I need for my bike and possibly be able to get it back on the road in a day or two
or
>order everything online in about ten minutes, get exactly what I want but have to wait a few days for anything to arrive
Decisions, decisions...
>>14053061
May as well ask at the shops to see the price at least.
>>14051743
I'll be 29 next week. I know dying young sounds cool on the Internet but i don't get it. You can have your zx10 at any age. You'll understand when you get older anon. You wanna ride your whole life or what? Or were you implying your too unskilled to operate a motorbike through your 20s?
>>14052855
my gixxer 600 does the exact same thing. Just as long as your fan comes on at 220 fahrenheit, sorry don't know celcius, your fine. If its not coming on then you have a problem but that temp change is pretty normal as far as i know and researched.
>>14052855
Coolant change and add water wetter to it.
Check all the little fins on radiator are straight. If they are bent use a tooth pick to straighten them out.
>>14052855
It will be fine upto 125°c. Start worrying then.
>>14052855
Sounds alright to me. R1 fans come on at 108C.
>>14051810
If your foot is on the ground and you're moving, there's a pretty good chance you're crashing.
my bikes efi is kinda harsh. i'm going to buy it a k&n filter and sync the thottle bodies because it's also a bit buzzy at low rpm, which i think will solve the problem
to sync the throttle bodies i have to check the valve clearances and set idle rpm first. i'm willing to do this myself but i've never done it before. most technical i've gotten with my bike is wiring signals, changing fluids, and a clutch cable replace. how hard is a valve check for the first time? i'd like to know how to do all these things myself but dont want to fuck anything up.
>>14053658
What bike
>>14053658
How many miles are on it and what type of bike? TPS is more likely the problem unless its been modded or has a lot of mileage.
How do I know if I'm pushing my bike too hard on the highway? I'm on an '80s cruiser, and all I have is a tach. I'm not fully balls-to-the-wall pegged, but at about 3/4 the way doing 120-140 km/h.
>>14053705
>>14053714
2006 fz6. valves are overdue anyway so i should really do them. kinda been putting it off and assuming they're fine cause that's what people tend to say about jap bikes sometimes. either way, they need to be checked, and i'm going to do the rest of this maintenance to tame it's on/off throttling which is really annoying, and hopefully improve mileage and power.
>>14053727
If it has a tachometer you would know. Are you sure you dont mean a speedometer.
>>14053714
>miles
29k
>TPS is more likely the problem
worth a look, thanks.
i'm also going to do a battery reset. read on a forum that it develops a map based on how you ride or something, so it might need re calibrating or something idfk (paraphrasing). the bike is just notoriously lurchy when bone stock too, so we'll see.
>>14053744
I meant a speedo. Sorry, it's been a long day.

Correct, the modern ECU bikes do sometimes have a reset routine, I do one on my Triumph when the weather changes from hot to cold and vice versa.

Eh, everyone has an all black cruiser though. And I've seen the dark horse in person and wasn't as wowed as I was with the pale horse.
>>14054046
nah not all black, just black where the chrome usually is and then a nice metallic color. dark horse bikes look bad too
id ride this in a heartbeat
>>14054063
The scout is to small for my purpose. But it's a great cheap bike
>>14054076
i kinda want a crusie because there so rare(only ever seen one). theres an hd dealership but its on the other side of the country
>>14054104
Where you be?
It serves its job for me. I ride down around 9hrs to work so it's good to have a comfy couch on wheels. But also not something full blown touring like a wing or roadmaster

>>14054298
Personally I'd look on Whidbey Island but you'd need to take a ferry to work.
Marysville maybe, that area is all too close to Seattle for anything to be cheap.

>>14054127

>>14054314
How much time/pain in the ass does the ferry add to the commute? Was looking at houses online and there were a bunch for rent on WI but I figured it would be a huge bottleneck.
>>14054309
go as far north as you can put up with commute wise. Everett is kind of a shithole, lynnwood is really a shithole
marysville isnt too bad, mt Vernon is alright as well
>>14054005
>aliens see space junk
>think humans just send all their garbage into space

>>14054323
If it's anything like the rest of the ferries then in the morning and evening around work time it gets very VERY backed up. Motorcycles don't have to wait in line though.
>>14054319
Is it worth a visit down that way?
>>14054325
I'll keep that in mind. What's your definition of shithole though? Lots of crime or just nothing to do? I'll probably be at work most of the time.
>>14054344
Gotcha. Yea, might try and avoid the ferry for commuting. That's cool bikes don't have to wait though. Can't wait to get my bikes back too.
>>14054325
Oh yeah I actually really likes it in Mt Vernon. Smaller community unlike the others that are pretty much just North Seattle.
