Can probably sand/paint/polish that yourself, man.
>>14679667
So why don't you?
Who has MotoGP stream? Foxsport + cablevision fucked me~!
>>14679668
alas, i have no idea how I would do that, or even what paint i would need for that. I might ask a mate if he'd show me how it's done, he's quite handy with motorbikes

you should get a new rear rim, too
>>14679801
my bikes work better than 90% of /dbt/ that is actually hasbike
if it aint broke, dont fix it.
Why can't we have a bike like this in North America? I fucking love scramblers. Dream bike.
>>14679818
because your market consists about 90 percent of old man cruisers
>>14679818
because they moved on from that 40 years ago.
you can still find the old enduros and build it out how you like.
>>14679747
Single Cylinder? That looks normal for the engine pulses of a thumper.
>>14679818

You're completely right. I wish that wasn't the case, they look like fun really.
>>14679829
I'll keep looking on CL, hard to find one that isn't a total pile of shit. My alternative is to look for a TW200. Close enough I guess.
>>14679842

MOTOGP SPOILER
Holy shit, the ducatis battling each other was intense and marquez fighting that hard, too bad he didn't catch dovizioso in the end.

TWs are good little bikes but people seem to think theyre made of gold with how the used market is around me.
if you get an older bike the little 2strokes are stupid easy to work on and rebuild if needed. or engine swap a rolling chassis

>>14679891
You'll want to put a hugger or something between the rear tire and the air cleaners. Those pods will gladly pass everything the tire pics up right into the cylinder. (it will crap that swingarm, too.)
And yes, you need rear-sets. And save up to upgrade those PS shocks to... Anything, really. Stock were better. Get IKON if you can afford it.
Nice bike, hipster. Be sure to spend more on your outfit than the bike cost and you are ready for Echo Park.

I am drawn to ugly bikes. I might go and see it this week if it's not gone already.
What is it about 90s supersports that is just so damn sexy?
>>14680105
Fuck that sounds like a lot of work
It's a cm400 with a gsxr front end and Hayabusa rotors
>>14680103
I almost pulled the trigger on one but I went for EFI instead. The SRAD 1999 I looked at had EFI too but the other bike I got was just so much better.
>>14680109

i'm surprised the Ducati's didn't pull away harder in the long straight, Lorenzo was right back on top in no time
How do I willy if I can't power willy?
>>14680171
sadly no, it's a 2000 but I don't want to say anything yet because it's not in my garage yet and I can't take pictures.
why are you asking?

Make a habit of pressing the brake foot if you feel like you're going too high.
Maybe soon I'll point the camera at my foot as I wheelie to show how I use it to control it and keep from flipping
>>14680253
this is quite impressive given the complete lack of feeling of a gs front end
>faggot l plater on mc22 filtering at rev limit
I just shake my head at you lame ass 250 riders
>>14680125
kek, same thing happened to me too.
Just retake it faggot, you have to pay a small fee and you only have to show up for the skills test, not the whole thing. I recommend asking to show up for the whole day if possible for the extra practice. They'll let you if they have drop outs or open spaces in the class.
I literally could not do the cone weave on the repsol 250 they put me on, shit was squirrely as fuck at slow speeds, also the friction zone was insanely tiny.
Going from that to my GS was "holy shit"
>dat massive friction zone
>TORQ
>>14680272
you should probably use 640x360 for a webm that long
>>14680272
learner bikes are so shit
friend of mine had to ride around with a very slightly bent front fork, it was some 90s learne bike can't remember if it was a CB500 or , maybe a 250. he thought he sucked hard at riding, then switched the riding school and could ride a fresh ER6n. passed first try
Just bought a '99 DR350 with the intention of riding it down to South America. How did I do?
Needs a carb rebuild. Already has big plastic tank. Figure I need soft luggage, some sort of rack, and road-biased tires. Needs a new chain/sprocket so might go up a tooth.
>>14680350
replace all fluids, brake pads, cables and wheel bearings to save headaches later on.
pop the inspection ports and look inside for any obvious signs of damage and check your valves while its open.
if all that is good and done, you should be ready to load up and go
>>14680288
Still looks like shit
>>14680295
I'm curious to try a new 250, or one that's actually been taken care of. The one I used was so awful it completely turned off from starting on a sport bike or anything under 600.
>>14680350
Shouldve got a 650 but you'll be fine. Electric start?
>>14680371
force 30fps and use HQ mode maybe
>>14680272
dude you need to learn how to countersteer. you're terrifying to watch.
>>14680361
What's worth carrying as far as parts? Figure I might as well bring a complete gasket kit in case I need it. Rings too. That, tubes, and spokes I'm not sure.
Instead of a rack I'm hoping these - http://www.moskomoto.com/collections/moto-camping-luggage/products/reckless-80l - become available again before I take off in the summer. Would construct stand-offs, but otherwise seems like a much lighter solution.
Also, is 'sea foaming' the engine to remove carbon useful or pure placebo?

You're probably better off reading some ADVrider forum threads than asking here. There aren't really any genuine adventure riders here.
>very jelly of your planned South American adventure
>>14680373
My friend coming with will have a KLR650, and he and others have tried to talk me into that, but I'm only ~150 pounds and always travel light, so seemed like over huge overkill. Also DR650 are rare and expensive (really like the idea of air cooled simplicity). Did a motorcycle tour around Southeast Asia last year on a 100cc, which really taught me the virtue of a lighter bike in shitty terrain/roads (also that you can go anywhere on anything if you take your time).
>>14680395
RIP
>>14680380
I know, that was my first time on the touge. I assure you I was equally terrified anon.
>>14680373
Yeah, electric start SE. I think I can add a kick if I find parts from a dirt model, but doubt the added points of failure are worth it when I can always hill/push start it.
>>14680406
I mean you know what you want so sounds dope brother. Make sure to give us updates.
can i get that picture of faggot telling
"i just cant take it anymore i just want to ride it"
>>14680389
a complete gasket kit seems a little overkill, you can do reuse the gasket if you don't destroy it removing it (some of them anyway)
instead of a kit just bring a tube of sealant
>>14680395
Besides exhaust this is a beautiful fucking bike.
>>14680406
>which really taught me the virtue of a lighter bike in shitty terrain/roads
A 350 is fine for South America, assuming you're actually going to adventure, ride back roads and dirt tracks and not just blast along highways.
>>14680412
I'd put it on there just to be safe for such a long trip but in the end it's up to you. Since you're going with friends just bring a cable or strap to bumb start and that should be fine too.
>>14680422
My buddy with the KLR tells me he uses liquid gasket stuff. Dunno if that lasts.
>>14680409
I appreciate how you're new to riding and everything but I fail to see how you can even make a 90 degree turn safely. It isn't even how you're afraid to lean, that's fine - your technique is just completely wrong.
please go watch TotW a couple more times and practice countersteering in a lot before you go out on the roads friend - you're gonna get rear ended going so slow.
>>14680389
like the other anon said, check adv rider.
bring all the difficult to get small parts, a coupel im following on their RTW trip routed new cables alongside the current ones to make things easy if one breaks.
i pack heavy on my trips but bring all the tools you need to do tires, chain replacement/repair, liquid gasket and of course the the diy fix materials, bailing wire, zipties, tape and rope
>>14680425
Here mate now its fixed.
Anyone? Pic of faggot that is saying
>"i just cant take it anymore i just want to ride it"
>>14680438
Just clutch cable, or brake lines too?
I'm a pretty hardened traveler (but pretty new to motorcycles), but my friend coming with I'm not sure how far he'll make it, so I might end up solo. The trip in Asia maybe spoiled me, since there's a mechanic every 200 feet there. Need to figure out what I need in terms of parts / tools, but really want to do this as light as possible (hence 350 vs. usual 650, although I think people do this on 250s all the time).
>>14680443
I'm seriously in love with this bike. Are all the parts off the shelf?
>>14680471
personally ive never heard or seen anyone trash a brake line without fucking everything else too. so just the clutch and choke cable if it has one would do.
its a difficult balance to be prepared but also travel light on a bike.
>>14680479
It has been build that way.
It was very very tired when i got him.
Not it looks like that. And goes like a fucking madman. But he has to go.
>>14679591
That bike in OP looks fucking sexy, would that be any good as a first bike or is that sort of thing terrible?

Huge first bike, but otherwise super friendly: can be had with an automatic even.
whats everyones view on fairings? are they a must if you live in a cold et country?
>>14680505
Go eat my 600cc dirt <3
>>14680508
U redu. Od sad govorim samo Engleski.
>>14680512
faiings are a must if you want to go fast
windshield + heated grips/gear will do more
>>14680519
I doubt you even can
>>14680521
and dick in your faggy asshole ofc. dont forget about that.
>>14680528
Pa sta ja znam, drzim se valjda ako treba.
I watched the 'Mondo Enduro' movies which they did on DR350s. They basically has no idea what they were doing: massively overpacked (the first time) and brought no spares, but somehow they made it around the world twice. They had had a piston built from scratch for them at some mining camp in Siberia. Scrounged wheels bearings also in the middle of nowhere Russia.
Main lesson from those movies (a la shoestring light-weight RTW riding) is that it's injuries and running out of money that will stop you, not the bike.
>>14680521
My 31 year old naked goes 177mph
With fairings it would go 413mph
tfw no fairings.
>>14680536
https://vimeo.com/120880449
First one here if anyone needs inspiration.
>>14680521
whats difference between windscreen and fairing?? i just want to stay out of the wind
>>14680536
Cuba does this, basically Cuba is pretty much America:1959
So these beat up old chevys with Lada engines need parts that Cubans literally make from scratch.
Pretty neato
>>14680558
Don't worry about it, that guy's a fag.
It's going to be windy no matter what
Tailing a semi-truck will reduce the wind you feel, i had to do it one day when it was like 20 degrees.
>>14680272
>>14680295
My school used older Suzuki GZ250s only. So basically a 250cc UJM with cruiser style bars and forward controls.
My bike had a REALLY narrow friction zone it felt like in 3 degrees it went from nothing, barely moving, fully released.
why do riders not keep going straight on a section of track like this? up ahead is another right turn, so why do they make that s shape on the straight?
>>14680585
They're turning wide around that turn so that they don't have to lean so much and they gradually correct their angle and, i haven't seen the video, looks like they're preparing to go wide for the next turn.
>>14680546
you don't need to be clever to get that fairings have an impact, even on shitty bikes like the GS500F
>>14680558
windshiled is that transparent thing on top of your gauges, fairing is the plastic htings on the side that are covering th engine and more
>>14680569
>staying behind a smietruck
don't listen to this pleb, he's slow as fuck
>>14680585

>>14680585

>>14680585
to gain momentum in to a corner
>>14680502
it would be very tall and heavy for a beginner, so turning might be difficult, but the engine wont surprise you too much.

I'm starting to see these everywhere here in Seoul
What camera do I get if I want 60fps and low wind noise?

ok well heres the same thing but shorter a bit of straight track, and the keep their line straight. so i guess its a matter of compromising speed for where the apexes lie?
>>14679813
its a spoke. it just needs to be retrued.
>>14680644
never anon, people are 100% honest and straight on here aren't they?
>>14680645
alright, I found some stuff. Thanks.
>>14679916
in /k/ land this fag would be considered a total fudd, IT AINT REAL UNLESS IT HITS 180+ RIGHT INTO A CAR THAT DIDNT SIGNAL THEIR MERGE. you dont have to respect a 250 but it will still put you in the grave if you turn into a cocky faggeto
>>14680663
it has a small fracture where the two ends were fused, im just waiting for it to get bad enough to require replacement.
>>14680585
maybe to keep their tires warmer or for smoother turn in/straightening out from the corners. I don't really see why they would do that.
Now that's what I call going for a ride
>>14679957
>tfw I own a klx250s
>>14680683
ah. thought you meant the wobble.
Night ride fun.
>>14680760
atleast you didnt crash into a skinwalker
does a modern 250-500 cc street legeal bike with a kick start exist?
>>14680760
2scary
>>14680775
SR400 is kick start only ese
/Dbt/ what would you do if someone gifted you a 200cc united motorcycle cruiser from 2006 that runs (mostly) fine after you get it started but looks beat up as hell and needs a few basic things fixed?
ps yes i got it for free, trying to lrn 2 ride on it but I want to fix the front brake first.
>>14679923
>What the fuck is wrong with rossi though, he did like nothing
i haven't watched motogp in forever. the last time i watched rossi was an ubergod that beat everyone easily and cucked biaggi every race.
is rossi shit now?

>SR400
>384 lbs wet
anything a little less piggy?
like a dual sport?
>>14680780
>what would you do
ride it?
>>14680758
the wobble is a low spot in the rim from a big hit that split it.
>>14680780
id accept it, fix it, ride it then eventually sell it
I've been looking to get a ktm duke 390 but people on here keep saying no... Could I get someone to explain why this bike isn't a good idea? And also what would you suggest in alternative? I'm 18 with no street bike experience and very little dirt bike riding.
I can get a Triumph Scrambler for free, is that a good bike to learn on?
I am 6"3 if height makes a difference?
>>14680797
I don't know of any others, kick start is not something I want.
>>14680810
Becauae you're too weak to kick it over? Lol faggot
>>14680125
mfw failed it 3 times
>>14680832
no because it is a pain in the ass. I had kick start on my last bike, it's annoying.
>>14680797
>>14680775
I believe current KTM EXCs are electric+kick start.
>>14680775
you can add it to the drz, but i wouldnt call that modern. ktm has kickers but their factory street legal ones probably are only e start
>>14680807
it's going to be very expensive for a bike that people say is underwhelming (do your own research, i'm not informed on this at all). beginner bikes are typically owned for a year or (more likely) much less, and have a tendency to be dropped. all this will hurt your resale when you upgrade.
afaik nothing is wrong with the bike, but across the board, i would recommend a used bike for learning on.
>>14680809
do it man, free fuckin bike

You know what's a pain in the ass? Not being able to start your bike bevause the electric start is ded
Try kicking a 500 2 stroke then get back to me about how painful your pissy little 125 4 stoke was
Weak ass faggot
>>14680849
>>14680832
Kit Kat is actually right today, the only people that glorify kickstarts don't have one
>>14680809
>I can get a Triumph Scrambler for free, is that a good bike to learn on?
no it's terrible, senpai. give the bike to me instead.
>>14680842
what was yfw you failed the 1st and 2nd time?
>>14680125
rip, I aced the knowledge and the skills tests, but I got the minimum passing score on the Secretary of State knowledge test because none of it is practical knowledge, just stupid shit like "above what speed are you required to wear shatterproof eye protection?" Who the fuck cares ATGATT life
>>14680865
sorry, senpai. i looked for a reaction pic but there were only titty pics in my folder and this.
>>14680872
From my experience it's easier to kick 2-strokes than 4-strokes.
>>14680849
>>14680873
>mfw I sometimes kick start my bike even when my battery is full
I like the way it feels. Kicking it dozens of times to try to start it in the cold when it doesn't want to run is a PITA though.
>>14680872
I don't get why you are so anally blasted. Also if your electric start is dead, you can push start the bike. I have had to do that the past 2 days because I keep putting off getting a new battery until I am back from my roadtrip.
>>14680873
i have/had 3 kickstart bikes
if you decompress before stomping on them they are simple and not a hassle
much easier to start below 7 c, no worries about weak battery, don't need to find a hill to bump from.. so many pros
>>14680873
I've only ever owned kick start bikes since I was 5 years old, faggot
Stop making excuses for your weak ass ankle

2700 sounds a little high for a 250 unless it's like from the last five years, but this guy is a fucking retard. You're not going to pay 2700 for a 600 unless it's from the 90s or a total piece of shit.
>>14680898
what is this 'decompressing' process you speak off?
>>14680925
you can get a decent FZ6 or VFR or zzr600 for that price.
I finished all my races and didn't crash! I was about 15th out of 26 in both Superstock races. One more clean weekend and I'll get my full license
>>14680939
a decompression lever lifts a valve slightly to make it easier to kick it over.
>>14680939
get it near the top of the compression stroke so you don't have to fight the compression as you kick
>>14680952
trolly where the reflective WAT stickers at
>>14680939
push the starter slowly down all the way before kicking
it decompresses the engine and you'll start first kick every time
>>14680939
I think he means finding top dead Centre
>>14680898
>having a bike modern enough for a decompression lever.
>>14680923
Cool.
>>14680881
>>14680946
Fair enough, but by 600 I meant a supersport, as I assume he meant.
Anyone in the UK, how much is insurance for first year riders? I am 24?
>>14680975
decompression levers have been around forever though.
>>14680939
>doesn't know the drill
>talks down on kickstarting
Kek
>>14680986
Yea it's called the kick start
>>14680975
they're all bikes are from the 70s
no levers
>>14680995
>kickstart = decomp lever
wat
>>14680791
Rossi started in 7th place and rode up to 5th. Then he wasn't able to pass anyone for the rest of the race. Both ducatis were in lead until they battled each other and Iaonne fell, Rossi now in 4th.
Marquez fought really hard, took some risk and overtook Dovizioso couple of times but landed 3rd in the end. Ducati had the advantage of higher top speed at the long start/finish straight
Lorenzo took the cake away, even though Ducati had the advantage of top speed he even made some distance through the corners and finished first.
Marquez and Rossi both had the hard/med tire combo iirc but Marquez took a lot more risk and started in front of rossi. Lorenzo & Dovizioso (1st / 2nd) had the soft/soft combo.
Also the top 4 (Lorenzo, Dovizioso, Marquez, Rossi) left the rest of the riders completly behind. Doesn't mean rossi sucks, maybe just wrong tire choice. I hope he makes a comeback as the ubergod.
>>14680994
i'm gonna guess that guy was actually just asking a question and wasn't in the conversation
>>14681003
thanks for the effort
>>14681002
Take the piston to tdc and you should be able to kick it over first time every time
>>14680994
>he thinks i'm that guy
>tripfag in charge of not being retarded
i'm actually >>14680780 and i asked because the bike I was gifted has a kick starter but thanks for being a condescending scrotum breather
>>14681020
i am aware of what a decomp lever is and what a kickstart is, however they are far from the same thing.
>>14681020
depends on the bike, that's kind of a cunt on a 1200cc V-Twin
>>14681046
Get two kick starts
>>14680965
I'm out of business, no free time. I'll finish the orders I'm way late on and make reflective ones to give away
>>14681054
lel
>>14680986
1978 350cc and it didn't have one senpai.
>>14681041
what did you use to mount the vapor? looks much nicer than my single screw through sheet metal mount
>>14681040
>no indication of which anon you are
>thinks I should know
Sure thing bub
