Get the nicest full size 250 you can and dedicate your life to the touge.
>>14949177
Seems so, very slight. Probably old, these are the ones that came with the bike (Only 2015 model). It was pre-owned, so maybe the previous dipshit that laid it down did something stupid?
>>14949178
Those that bad?
>>14949185
Yeah they are that bad, how much psi do you have in it? im surprised it hasnt already popped or at least bulged
>>14949185
>these are the ones that came with the bike (Only 2015 model)
The PO must have run them way under pressure. Those side walls look like they have suffered from heat stress due to underinflation. Be careful anon.
>>14949184
sv anon did you see i finally have the 300 going?
took it for a ride yesterday going for another on sunday.
now you need to get dirt squirter
>tfw
>no
>sv650
>>14949184
why is it eddies corner? just because he died there?
>>14949191
As bad as it is, I have no clue. Been thinking about checking it, but just never got around to it.
>>14949188
Awesome, I'll keep that in mind. I commute daily on this sucker, but I occasionally try to go find nice twisties (To no success so far).
>>14949194
Will do, maybe I won't rev limit the fucker on the way home today...
>>14949184
Thanks! Is Z125 bad for a new rider?
>>14949197
SV650 for cucks, get SV1000
>>14949199
Really?
You should check your tyre pressure every time you get fuel m80, even 5psi out makes a huge difference in how your bike will handle.
>>14949199
The mitchys will be ok for average twistie riding but don't get fully hektic uleh with them as they are a little on the hard side due to the high silica content.
>>14949209
Alright, maybe not every gas stop but I will start checking em at least once a day or so.
>>14949211
I won't, as comfy as I am on that thing I don't think it'd be a good idea to get that crazy yet. Besides, still haven't found any good spots yet.
>>14949197
>tfw sv650
>>14949219
I had the pilot streets on my GS500. They are fine for twisties, I give it heaps and they hold up fine. If you track them it's a different story.
>>14949196
Nice, I have unfortunately decided it'll probably be too impractical at the current juncture, some things have hit my wallet in rapid succession (rego/ctp much more expensive for me due to demerit points racked up this year, computer monitor died and needed to be replaced, stuff like that) and I still don't live really in any reasonable proximity to any dirt areas/no ute would mean putting out on a dirtbike on knobbies to BEGIN riding the trails for at least an hour maybe first and it's just...I don't think it's gonna work right now.
I'm either gonna buy a nice camera that does decent video or just put that money away until I can make a dirt squirter work (e.g moving further out).
>>14949209
v true and differs on the tyres, 3 psi under is shit on the angel GT's, on bridgestone S20's I sometimes had the rear at like 20 psi and barely noticed.
>>14949203
meet me on the touge
>>14949226
>meet me on the touge
Me and my SV1000 will wreck you m8.
>>14949201
no it'll be fun. but you wont go faster than 100kmh. which would be nice to be able to do.
>>14949223
I mean, I won't be keeping the bike long enough to really push it. But so Ina probably be throwing these on a ZX11 rather than my 300.
>>14949236
>ZX11
You won't want pilot streets on that m8.
>>14949242
And this goes to show how little I know. Always willing to learn though. It's a 1992 model, what would you suggest?
>>14949226
that sucks man, after riding yesterday im tempted to sell my road bike to pay for a few years worth of maintenance on my dirt bike, that much fun in comparison
>>14949247
For starters they don't make them in that size. If you are commuting on it a mitchy pilot road 4.
i thought i could upload with sound on this board?
>>14949264
go to WSG
>>>/wsg/1046108
>>14949264
Nah sorry pal
>>14949264
how are u gunna hear my new exhasut then :(
>>14949263
Same series, different size I assume?
>>14949267
told me only vorbis allowed, can i change that in xmedia recode?
in theory, using a motorcycle is fantastic for selling moderate amounts of contraband to various consumers
>>14949271
The streets are sized for the 650cc and under bikes, like LAMS.
So yeah.
>>14949274
nvm found it :D
>>14949264
Why can't we upload webms with sound on this board and why is the upload limit so low anyway?
Is there an actual reason for it?
I heard a stock across today in a tunnel. I want one.
>>14949276
In other words you sell some 420blazeitbro to your mates for more than you buy it for?
Shit mate.
>>14949280
>Why can't we upload webms with sound on this board
They didn't implement it yet due to
>why is the upload limit so low anyway?
They're worried that people will upload episodes of TV shows or upload movies in parts, and they don't want screamers either
>>14949283
kek. maybe 8 years ago when i was a senior in highschool.
weed simply isnt profitable or in demand anymore. my state has medically legalized it with very liberal methods of getting said card.
>>14949287
what the fuck difference does it make?
who is they?
the mods?
They are fags who cared what they think.
>>14949295
Moot was concerned with them going after him for copyright laws for a website he at that point stopped caring about
The new owner hiroshima nagasaki? I don't think he wants to make a bunch of changes after just getting the site
>>14949223
>Pilot Streets
I somewhat disagree, once you start to get really fast/brave you start to feel the lack of grip, especially over bumps and rough/uneven surfaces.
They're fine up to about 75% or so pace, which is probably about as fast as you'd want to go on the street most of the time anyway.
>tfw want stickier tyres but they're not worn down enough to justify replacing both just yet
>bike will hopefully be gone/replaced by the time they would have worn down
Damn.
>>14949277
Awesome, getting the bike next week. It'll be some time before I start riding it daily like my 300. Would it be worth it to throw a new pair in the 300 if I plan on using it a few more months, or will these ones last?
>>14949308
>About 75%
Worrying. I'm also that same Anon that wants to take that trip to LA next week. As I said there, I'm maxing this bike out daily, full throttle top gear.
>>14949308
This to be honest, my bike has pilot power 3's on it, my brothers pilot roads and the difference in grip is huge, its almost like the pilot streets just don't warm up.
>>14949308
I gave mine heaps and hold high corner speed for a shitty GS500 and they are fine, at a track day they did fine. Once you get them hot they get a bit greasy, they do have the highest silica content for a tyre in that category tho, so it is expected. They are marketed as a touring tyre not a sports tyre. what do you expect.
>>14949312
I doubt you would be maxing it out through the corners m80 stress less.
>>14949316
when I say hot. I mean like racing track hot. They do perfectly fine for spirited twisties, especially on bikes they are designed for ie 650 parallel twins/LAMS
>>14949267
here we go
>>>/wsg/1059743
>>14949321
ahh yes, the iconic note of the 4 stroke fart can
>>14949312
>Worrying.
Don't, it's just my $0.02 worth, based on my experience with them.
They're fine tyres, they're just not particularly grippy because that's not what they're for.
75% pace is pretty damn quick anyway, any more than that and you're leaving yourself no margin for error. You'd be hard pressed to maintain a solid 75% on the street for a long period of time anyway imo, but again that's just my opinion.
>>14949316
I probably got mine hot then, they didn't feel particularly confidence inspiring or grippy when ridden hard.
They're fine tyres for what they are, don't get me wrong, they're just not great for fast.

Guys, I'm an alcoholic.

It's all that was left in the fridge.
That's how I realised I am an alcoholic.
![1221[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/56Ql36a.jpg "1221[1].jpg")
>>14949251
well it's like they say variety is the spice of life, I'm sure after a year of dirt only again you'd be thinking about road riding some more.
I don't really like having to choose.
>>14949344
I would be too if I had to use a gaymertop.
>>14949386
I hardly ever use it for gaymen, just bought it as I had a nice insurance claim.
>>14949390
That's okay then. I just wanted to tease you.
>>14949397
It's more the fact it is portable, plays bluray/dvds and has backlit keys for when I get shitfaced and have to single finger type.
>>14949404
Your laptop has a bluray drive? Nice. I don't even have a CD/DVD drive in my desktop rig.
>>14949404
but is the keyboard cum proof for when you do cum tributes
Look both ways before pulling out of driveway and get up to speed.
Some douch speeding in a company truck passed me on a double yellow.
Mfw i report him to his company and get him fired.
>>14949418
Get used to it.
>>14949368
look at that faget hanging off the wrong side just so he can scrub off his chicken strips and post sick tire pics on dbt
>>14949424
He is victorian, what else can you expect.
>tfw the bike you want is too far away for you to go buy
>>14949424
It's called scrubbing, you do it over a jump to slow down while in the air.
>>14949445
>slow down
You might as well just wait at the starting line because you're never going to win that way.
>>14949429
>tfw no money
>>14949451
You are never going to win by not doing it, not being able to scrub is why i never made it out of C grade in MX
>>14949485
still nobike nowr anton?
>>14949231
Mine too. SV1000S is a bike that I don't see myself ever selling. Get the feeling of the wind being against your body, fucking sick sound, vtwin highway cruising, decent riding position, and great acceleration.
Daily reminder that Honda a shit
>>14949493
what is this meme? i've owned 3 honda bikes and they've all been great
>>14949493
>tfw you don't own a honda
>>14949486
Nah m8, thats just due to you being a shit rider.
>>14949493
>Grom
>Shit
>>14949505
Better than you will ever be though and that is all that matters at the moment
Where does DBT sit on the seat of their bikes. I always have my hips right up to the tank on my SV1000S. Feels good man.
Crazy how comfy the busa looks like that. Might get one for longer distance riding and the insane power.
>>14949488
Yes, sadly.
>>14949502
Shitposting nobike scum trying to start a forced meme.
>>14949512
remember the klx a shit and you should dream of better bikes
>>14949486
LMAO you're telling me you need to go slower to win races? That's probably why you never made it past C grade. You should know by now that going fast is what wins.
>>14949502
>Honda
>great
so why are you already on your third?
>>14949524
So you should overshoot jumps instead of scrubbing speed in the air and landing on the down ramp?
If you don't scrub you have to hit every single jump slower.
>>14949523
>not green
> not beautiful ass
>red
Still a pretty dope bike, I admit.
You just want me to buy it so you can say "Beta anon" :^(
>>14949528
I bet you slow down for corners too
>>14949534
post ur chicken strips fagget
>>14949527
i still have two of them
i like variety
>>14949530
I do but they are pretty much the best enduro bikes on the market if you are after a 4 stroke
>>14949545
I really was playing with the thought, but I think they're still expensive because they like, don't depreciate at all
I'll go and check now
soon
>>14949552
If you can't afford one of them a 2010 Husqvarna te510 would probably be in your price range if you are looking at KLX's. They are a solid bike.

How can I avoid getting chicken strips if my commute is literally a straight shot?
>>14949597
no, that is a BMW Husqvarna, not a KTM Husqvarna.
I think it was the 610 and other pre-BMW Husqvarnas that didn't have oil pumps.
>>14949653
chicken strips is unused tyre, get rid of them once, gone forever.
>>14949653
Make a trip to the touge every weekend.

How come actual riders are friendly and helpful while most of you guys here are assholes and put off new riders?
>>14949653
Just stop worrying about it.
>>14949661
I put tons of miles on my tires of straight roads every week while commuting. My tires always square off, and always have strips on the sides.
>>14949672
Take a wild guess.
>>14949672
because nobody here owns a bike
>>14949672

I need to call this guy to see if he still has a bike to sell but you people made me doubt myself.
Now I'm nervous.
I hate you.

Is Ducati maintenance a meme? I want a 1198 sp for my next bike but if the routine maintenance is expensive as people say: valve adjustments, etc, then I might just go for the Honda.
>>14949767
Do it fagg
>>14949776
Guy at work races Ducatis. Says the 848/899/etc are bullet proof for the most part but the bigger ones can be pricey to run.
>>14949776
If you care about money that much a ducati is probably the wrong bike for you...
Anon with the cracked tires. Turns out my back wheel was sitting at 24psi. Should've been 36, thanks for telling me to check! You can seriously feel the difference.
>>14949808
>that much
So trying to be somewhat frugal in today's economy is wrong? It's not the starting price that puts me off as much as the reliability and routine maintenance that such bikes require.
>>14949820
nah it's not wrong. I only told you that a ducati isn't something for you if you want to be 'frugal' in your hobbies

What's the best supermoto that's 450cc? Need something I can just buy, don't wanna have to add lights an make it street legal, just need a dual sport that'd make a gud sumo.
>>14950506
my buddy keeps telling me the same but I'm not really sure what would be a better upgrade. I only need it for an in town hoon machine, nothing long distance
>>14950515
if you can swing the price, a wr450. the new ones are fuel injected and run like raped apes
>>14950515
beta RR 450 SM
literally goat of it's class
>>14950515
pre built street legal thats 450cc?
probably an sxv450 or one of the beta bikes.
not many do 450cc for street use cause those are normally a high strung engine.
>>14950532
Think they're just better off as a 250's?
>>14950521
i already have a plenty good bike for street riding so i would only bust out the sumo for sumo riding.
my thoughts were a KTM EXC 500.

Generally when people refer to 450s they mean aggressive race bikes and not necessarily the actual displacement
