That could have been bad. Didn't notice damage from the last couple cold nights so hopefully it's fine.
>>14197834

I'm considering a thermo bob for the XR but it appears there's none
>>14197869
Now that you mention it I shouldn't support a filthy raghead business,
I should go eat spanish.
>>14197879
get a pizza, you can never go wrong with pizza.
>>14197873
I'm sure you could adapt one from another bike
>>14197898
Probably a KLX one should go, it has dual radiators right?
I just found out how on the XR they are in parallel, is it the same on the KLX?
>>14197893
>Italians
not even once
>>14197906
Yeah, its setup the same way on both.
welp dbt I had a terrible day
I'll go to the supermarket get some pizza and beer
can I get you guys anything? has to fit on a backpack.
>>14197916
All the money from the registers
Send to PayPal

>>14197916
Some Wotsits, a bottle of Dr Pepper and a bar of Turkish Delight. Cheers.
>>14197913
I don't know why but I always assumed dual radiator setup ran in series.
Tomorrow I'll check if there's space to run the hoses, then I'll just have to find out what the correct operating temperature should be
>>14197916
Weather good enough to ride
>>14197934
What XR is this for?
>>14197916
a big bore kit pls
or the engine of a WR 250
>>14197942
650R, are there other water cooled ones?
>>14197952
dude ffs ask for an A2
>>14197952
Isn't the wr 125 already heavier than the 250
/justboughtfirstbike/ here, its a 1995 600cc Seca II with 4k miles for $1200. How badly did I fuck up?

I don't think so. You don't have a thermostat already?

thoughts on this?
>>14198011
Yes, but the thermobob is a radiator bypass some autist thought up for the KLR, turns out most bikes lack it.
It's not a big deal if you flog your bike all the time in a hot environment, but at lower temperatures when you commute it gets important, Especially with two radiators that can cool water much more
>>14197970
what does that have to do with either of that m8
>>14197959

>>14198072
yeah, it's pretty much a Husquarna 630, but italian
>>14198057
I don't know that the KLR comes with a thermostat factory, does it? The thermostat does the job of a thermobob.
>>14198085
well the 630 was italian.
I'm reading about it, sounds good since the head should be the guy behind the sxv.
I'm just worried about chinese ownership
>>14198106
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x7aqj0qUAqA
>>14198085
>>14198114
well if you read the Motorradonline test, you should see that it is pretty solid.
Now that I think about it, I will look if there are some for sale, seems like a gud A2 biek.
>>14198109
>the KLR comes with a thermostat factory
yes
>The thermostat does the job of a thermobob.
The thermobob is a modification of the cooling system.
The mod proper is just the bypass hose, but you put in a different thermostat without a bleed hole (because it's not needed anymore leading to faster warmup) and different temperature rating (since the flow is different and there's a much better control on the coolant temperature)
At least is what I was referring to with thermobob
>>14198121
is that wr anon?
>>14198121
>6000 irgendwas euro neu

>>14198121
too bad the only thing KTM kept from Husky is the design department they could have done a better job on that bike
>also Marzocchi front, sachs back and brembo all around
sounds expensive desu
>>14198146
>>14198142
ayyy they even have 500 and 300cc and supermoto versions, didn't knew that.
6k euros for a new one is pretty much the price.
>>14198138
maybe ;^)
>front brake is squeaky
wat do
>>14198178
high pitch as dogs run away or low pitch as train coming into station?
>>14198186
low
>>14198178
oil it
>>14198136
I can see it helping but I see it more as another coolant hose to burst or get punctures and a bunch of fittings to leak. I don't have a thermostat in my XR right now so it runs cool, but I have more problems keeping it cool when riding than the opposite.
>>14198189
its something vibrating , take the front brake off and check there's no play
>>14198197
rip anon
>>14198199
alright, I'll have a look

>>14198249
?!?!?!,
god damn. to the anon who posted the SWM, fuck you. Now I want to look at one in person and I guess I will do so tomorrow.
There are two dealers in about 1 hour drive away from me, guess it's time to sit on some bikes.
>>14198249
the XT 660 also has two mufflers. Maybe it helps for the A2 because it has a kW/KG limit, thus more (removable) weight will make the power which you will get written down in your papers higher.
>>14198194
Dunno, despite all the horror stories I never had any problem with liquid cooling, I'd rather have the engine operating at proper temperature. Probably will wait a little more to see how it behaves.
>>14198249
I'll never get it either
>>14198272
Nobody ever said that, it just isn't a lubricant. Not that it should matter since o ring chains should have the lubricant sealed inside
>>14198274
gern geschehen :^)
Promised pics of the new exhaust mockup
>>14198296
I thought the issue was that it's a penetrant. It gets into the chain and dissolves/drives out/kills the lubricant inside.
>>14198307
>>14198307
Cool, m8. Frankenbike is coming together nicely.
>>14198274
The problem in that idea is that the other muffler is routed completely independently to the other and runs from the other out valve, and stamping out a second muffler is more expensive than say... Attaching a brick to the rear fender
>>14198313
We're going to need a webm with sound too.
>>14198313
>>14198302
nigga :^)
>>14198317
but with a brick in your fender you wouldn't come through the TÜV
>>14198325
Have to wait for a month or two, I need to finish the engine and weld the midpipe.
>>14198333
Unless it's specified as part of the design to idk, balance the axles or something
>>14198307
>>14198313
>>14198326

Yeah like I said it's just a mockup, I need to bend the original mounts because the cans are touching the swingarm.

>>14198373
Will make one later in the spring, right now I have the exhaust unwelded and the valvetrain torn apart.
>>14198394
Could do that, too, will see when I get to actually installing them.

I wonder if they would let me testride, too, even if I have no A2 lel :^)
The Supermoto seat is 10mm higher than the enduro seat, but the enduro has 10mm more ground clearance, what kind of magic is this?
Enduro also weights less.
I hope you have an action cam.
alright guys, 3 options:
should I
1. sell my car and buy an old-timer (BMW 325, Audi 80, Mercedes W123)
2. Sell my car, keep the money and live motorbike only
3. Keep my car and ride my motorbike on the weekends
Advice is appreciated
>>14198479
3, unless you're settled in and are sure you'll never need to buy furniture or move again
>>14198472
the sumo probably has a flat seat while the enduro has a little "valley"
>>14198479
4. Keep your car and use it only when you need it
>>14198479
1, but make sure you find the right old-timer before you sell your car.
>>14198479
Get some shitbox car just to justify having a car.
Get a good bike and ride it everyday.
Shitbox for only when needed.
>>14198487
I don't get this, isn't car sharing/renting a thing in other nations?
>>14198479

i mean you could say my car might actually qualify as a shitbox

RS650R also survived the "HardAlpiTour" (no clue what the actual fuck this is) without problems, and the Handugards, Skid plate and rear luggage mount fits from the TE 630
it is also said that the aftermarket parts of the TE should fit (exhaust for example) and that the plastics should also fit.

HEY SEM GUYS
HEY
what
what if we write SWM that we would love to take theri bike for longer test, then everyone of us gets thier favourite SWM model sponsored and rides to the SEM with it?
like for example one gets a Superdual and rides from thier home to the SEM location and then after SEM we all ride to norway, everything sponsored by SWM for "testing" thier bikes, and then we sell it as a report later and get mad dosh for it?

well those were 2 strokes after all, and i'm pretty sure they weighed less than the average american back then. well to be fair, so does the new SWM
>>14198750
Its probably in pieces by now. Or at least painted. I dont think the theifs are stupid enough to ride it around but you never know haha. I can identify all the parts on her i did all the work on that bike and i remember every nick. Theres the list of mods and all on the thread.
I really appreciate it. It seems like a gang going around stealing bikes. In november i heard of many many new bikes getting stolen. And my bike was stolen along with a 2014 white cbr1000rr. Its terrible the amount of theft here in florida

did you mean shitbox? seriously those you mentioned seem very cool if you're poor but as soon as you have some money going they're just another shitbox (or lets say shitbox 2.0 one step ahead of things like the twingo, clio,..). source, drove an audi 80, friend of mine a w123 when we were students.

keep your current car, I think that's the fastest way to save up for a really decent bike/car.
>>14198931
cars that are older than 30 years are considered "old timers" here in germany. you pay less insurance and less tax for it. and those were just the ones i found while researching.
>>14198949
Aight man. Just saying they make a very decent first car but if you already have one (bora?) or are not enthusiastic about the car itself for what it is don't bother and save up like 5k for something really nice if you're just looking for an upgrade.

It is a great bike for my non highway commuting though, FI makes warming up more of an issue to get the oil warmed up.
The bolts on the body work like to get loose and dealing with the plastic & tank to check is a bit of a pain because of the FI and the way some of the tubes are routed.
Solid bike, people ask what it is at gas stations, Chinese immigrants are surprised to see it because it is made & sold over there.
That is right, it is made in China and sold there and here in the US.
However, my bitch is that it is pretty heavy and the stock mirrors are pretty useless to see what is behind you.

like most non sport 250

I heard some of them are made in japan, also the new tu250x look like shit and i bet it's because of china.

A Ninja 250 and CBR250 are not sports bikes. They are well disguised standards with aerodynamic fairings. I will say that I bought the GW250 over used CBR250s and Ninjas because I wanted a FI bike that had a SOHC, little vibration and naked styling, it was also 1kUSD cheaper then a new CBR.
However, if FI and fairing weren't an issue, wanted a commuter bike I could take over a mountain highway, I would have gotten a CBR or GS500.
>>14200497
>wanted SOHC over DOHC
For what purpose?
Hoping somebody could point me in the right direction.
I have a 2008 wr250x.
I recently filled the air in my tyres back up because they had leaked about 8 psi from sitting. Since then, I've found that when riding there is a small, but noticeable, bump coming from one or both of my tyres. I feel as if it's the front tyre but it's hard to discern.
It's consistent in nature, which lead me to think it was something in the tyre. I've thoroughly checked front and back to no avail.
I am running my tyres on 28psi front and back, so to test I deflated my tyres back to 20psi. The bump remained, so I reinflated them.
It doesn't go away after riding for x amount of time and I can't notice it during corners.
Any ideas? I feel like the tyres might be fucked which would not be too bad because they're getting replaced when I can afford it.
>>14200600
sounds like something is failing in the tire.
try over inflating both to max rated pressure and spin the tires and see if you can see a deformation in it as it spins
>>14200639
I don't have a wheelstand anymore so I can't free spin the tyre. Would that work just rolling it forward and back?
>>14200600
Might just be out of balance. Also check around the bead to see if it looks like the tire is seated evenly all around the rim on both sides of both tires.
>>14200648
put it on blocks or a bucket or just lay it over or tip it up on the kickstand. its not a big bike.
you want to spin it with the bike static so you can see irregularities a lot easier
>>14200648
Put your bike on a bucket and spin the wheels.
>>14200600
28 sounds awfully low. I know its a light bike but still...
They may have flatspoted from sitting, which is usually more common in cheap tires. What brand do you run?
>tfw can't talk my brother out of buying a grom and getting something more practical and highway-capable
Lost hope gents. Cheer me up by showing me some non-meme baikus.

His reasons when I asked him
1. Road speeds are for the most part 45 MPH from our house to his workplace. The highest is 55 MPH and it's only for a few miles.
2. Huge tuning community of autistic faggots who drop thousands into an already overpriced bike that's basically just a manual transmission scooter dressed up like a streetfighter.
3. He's a manlet and likes small bikes.
4. He has never owned a motorcycle and wants to start with something small.

dirtbike?
>>14200659
I've just had a look. It appears to be even on both tyres.
>>14200661
>>14200664
Ok, I'll give that a shot next. I let my friend borrow my compressor so I will have to do that tomorrow.
>>14200678
Most of the stuff I've read recommends pressures in the 26-32 range for the bike. I've played around with pressures and found 28f 28r to be comfortable for the type of riding I do. I also don't really care about getting more mileage out of the tyres.
It has shinko's on it. SR740 front 741 rear. They're not fantastic tyres, I know, but they had enough tread when I bought to the bike to keep it going until I make some room in my budget for nicer ones.
>>14200723
is it used? if so, get off his ass. he'll learn he needs something bigger.
is it new? talk his ass into getting a used one. don't you fuckin' dare talk someone out of buying their first motorcycle, guide them to the one they want.
don't be a dick.
>>14200600
Its the tires. I wouldn't ride like that. You might have a bubble and a damaged seam that could burst at any time.
>>14200738
>Naw she was very busy
fucking gay, you should have fuckt her m8
>>14200740
more or less
>>14200600
best thing to do is find someone with a stand you can borrow and spin the wheels to make sure they're not fucked
Does anyone know what this hand signal means? He did like the devil hand sign with the index finger down. First time seeing this hand sign in my 8 years of riding.
>>14200758
Fuck, I really don't want to hear that. I'm hesitant to ride my other bike because its valves are overdue along with an oil change. I would do the oil myself but I'm owed a free service so I would prefer to not have to pay for it.
>>14200760
Hey man I know what it's like to be a very busy guy, shes a noble women with places to go and packages to deliver to all the girls and bois
>>14200780
Oh okay, I remembered seeing this hand sign in like middle school or some shit. Just looked it up and it means rock and roll? Why would someone throw up the rock and roll sign? Why not just give the deuces. wtf. Dude was riding like a squid.
Does anyone else play this? I just bought it a few months ago and have been having a ton of fun. The more you play the better you get and in tune with the machines.
>>14200792
ups ladys need sex too m8, your just to selfish to care about other peoples needs.
>>14200711
I don't understand how having SOHC is going to provide and sort of benefit over DOHC in that situation.
>inb4 moar torks
SOHC by itself does not make an engine more torquey, that comes down to how the different components of the engine are tuned (camshafts, fuel mapping etc).

Yeah I have a motorcycle I have put about 15,000 miles on and how many hours have you spent on a real race track? Of course Tourist Trophy isn't as good as the real thing. But I guarantee I can navigate a race track in a simulator and IRL better than you. Buy the game and we can compare lap times.
>>14200905
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my MSF course, and I’ve been involved in numerous group rides, and I have over 300 confirmed miles. I am trained in basic motorcycle maneuvers and I’m the top gamer in the entire /ovg/ thread. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my /ovg/ gamer friends and we will beat you in any video game track right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You’re fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can beat you in over seven hundred ways, and that’s just with my controller. Not only am I extensively trained in how to lean a bike, but I have access to the entire video game archive and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of /o/, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You’re fucking dead, kiddo.

>I don't understand how having SOHC is going to provide and sort of benefit over DOHC in that situation.
It is a commuter bike that gets +1000 miles put on it a month, because it is a SOHC with 2 valves per cylinder, whenever I get in there I only have to do 4 valves instead of 8 or more.
SOHC aren't going to make a engine more torquey, but the bike is geared for lowend, and the SOHC helps and makes engine braking more effective.
>>14202082
Two times I might add, either side. Right hand side fairing is scratched up to fuck and missing a heap of paint. No front indicators either.
Oh well, I bought it cheap $3k and expected to drop the thing, so meh. Might just rattlecan it black.
