help me /dbt/
my bike give trouble to start sometimes but the specifics circumstances are weird.
it only will act up the first time its started for the day. it cranks but no cigar (FI- im not just being retarded with a carb) for a few tries and then it will slowly turn over. this doesnt happen whenever i ride to anywhere that day.
dealer suggest is that it doesnt get ridden enough because my commute is about 7-10 mins but i always ride for at least 25 mins on the way back. additionaly theyve suggested that it sits too long but thats usually not more than 3 days
the only thing that has improved the situation is changing where i park from a spot in the sun(under a cover) on an incline to a spot on flatter ground that is in the shade for a greater period of the day
there was also one incident of the bike not starting and the started getting progressively slower untill it stopped and wouldnt respond but it started up half hour later with no delay

Definitely the cyclist.

>>14972990
Cyclists homo didn't yield to traffic(imagine that?) he took the turn wide, then did some bullshit u turn maneuver in the center of the lane.
Imagine if he did that in a car. Bicycles on the road are a vehicle like any other.

>>14973171
I've never had to kickstart anything but an old dirtbike when I was 13-16. I actually didn't have any idea what I was doing at the time, I'd just stomp it and it would start. Great thing for low compression I guess.
Electronic ignition on street bikes really is a blessing.
>>14973181

you can buy moderate, peephole sized viewing glass of pretty good thickness in bulk off alibaba of all places for pretty cheap. like $5-10 cheap.

>>14973181

and it's also no like they don't have viewing glasses already for the oil tank.. which is a much less useful place to have one
>>14973156
I don't imagine that would be desirable on a dirt bike.
>using multiple materials means sealing them together
>glass isn't flexible like plastic
>glass is more shatter prone
>>14973181
I've read about some people dying their tanks, but taping over a stripe so they can still see the fuel level.
>>14973171
Sometimes I kick start it even when the battery is full just because I like the feeling of bringing it to life with my own energy.
>>14973183
Whatever, man
>i just hope you know there are many reasons why it's mostly cruisers who use them
>>14973207
the thing that i can imagine being the most expensive is retooling their production process to incorporate viewholes into gas tanks. i'm no engineer but it probably isn't as simple as it seems to mate thick glass to thin aluminum either way.
>>14972868
>>14973196
Add in that plus the cost of adding it into the production process. Not worth it to a manufacturer.
>>14973202
I emailed IMS to see what they say about the tank. I guess the 4.6 natural tanks had some issues with seams splitting so there's a chance I'll just get a new one for free.
Also scored an oil filter/pump cover for $28 on fleabay.

polyethylene doesnt do clear, just translucent like the natural tanks.

>>14973165

I use it when I kill my battery by accident or when I want to show off at gas stations. I've already killed my battery twice by leaving my heated grips on since I've installed the kicker.

>>14973434
how much of that tank can you actually use before your bike dies? I don't imagine it would be able to use any of that shit lower than the float bowl.
Do you have to wheelie to keep the fuel flowing once it gets to that point?
>>14973445
Surprisingly easy actually. It's super grippy. It will also ruin your tires fast as fuck.
Ok /dbt/ I have a real project but I need some help in realizing it's feasibility, IF it's even feasible.
I own a 2015 Yamaha FJ-09, it's an amazing all around bike however it's not very capable off road because of how low the engine sits. SW Motech makes a skid plate for the bike but it further reduces the 5.5in of ground clearance to probably about 5in or less.
I wanted to raise the bike up about 3in and my thoughts are either new suspension, or somehow sticking on a 19in or 21in front wheel, with a 18in rear, or leaving the 17in rear and slapping on a Continental TKC80 on there.
How hard would buying some new rims and fitting new fenders? Also, where would I even go for raising the suspension? I know this is probably a bad idea but I have about $2-3k to work with, plz help
>>14973466
>I bought the wrong bike, the post

>>14973456
Interesting. Keep the desert pics coming they're sweet
>>14973453
Tanks vent through the material and will make any paint or graphics bubble pretty quickly, that's why tank graphics always have perforations.
>>14973458
According to the specs, it's 4.2 gallons volume, but it's marketed as a 4.0 gallon tank for the reason you said. Last time I filled up though, I had been on reserve for a bit and according to the pump I put 4.27 gallons in.
Spotted in NYC of all places
>>14973478
It's been amazing for everything I bought it for, for about a year now. I rode it 600 miles in a day, and while grueling, the bike performed admirably. Problem is, I tried my buddies DRZ400 and loved it. I don't have the room for a second bike so I wanted to see if I could modify this one to be a bit more off road worthy
>>14973482
Do you still have the stock carb on your DRZ?
>>14973466
>offroad
>>14973500
Yes. Not going to do carb and big bore until the engine dies.
>>14973466
I really doubt you're going to be able to find a way to replace that rear wheel due to it's width, but if you could, you'd have to remove the rear fender most likely, find a hub that's compatible with or without custom made spacers, and determine a tire size that will fit on top of that.
In the front you can probably do the same, but raise the fender up with a custom bracket.
Raising the suspension can be done at a suspension shop, it's a little bit pricey but they should be able to get you a few inches and the suspension will work even better than before.
You might be able to get a little height by dropping the fork tubes down further in the triple clamp if they're not already as low as possible, and you might be able to find different linkages for the rear, I know they make lowering links, dunno about raising links.
You could have a custom exhaust made to put it along the side instead of below, but that might look like shit and be in a place that will burn you.
tl;dr spend the money on a DRZ400S

I can ride at 80-90mph on the highway and feel absolutely no sense of danger, it's like riding a bicycle. Unless there's high winds or I'm passing a huge truck. Is this a normal thing you get after riding for a while?

>>14973663
Yeah, I'm not expecting catastrophic failure, just a slow decline into power loss and burning oil until I decide to pull the engine and do it up. I haven't spent that much time looking into it, but I'm thinking FCR39, hot cams, 434 kit. Haven't looked into head work at all.

Man this shit is so rusted, it doesn't even have the wiring on it. Also the 4 screws I have to take out in order to get that off feel like they're going strip. I'm going to need PB blaster.
>>14973825
Test ride all three. Check out the 390 Duke, too.
I went for the CB300F because I hated pulling the fairing off for maintenance the last time I owned a bike. It's weak and underpowered but the mileage is incredible. Also very, very light and narrow for lane splitting. And at $1000 less than the others plus the promotional financing I got, it suited my needs.
>>14973839
I read the Ninja 300 doesn't excel at anything.
>>14973731
Most car engines don't cruise down the highway at 7k rpm or require oil changes every 1k miles.
>>14973884
Neither does a properly set up DRZ :)
>>14973876
That's also.one of the things I like about he Honda, it's the cheapest of the 300s.
>>14973880
Ride it and decide for yourself. There's no one best entry level bike, it depends on your needs, budget and style.
>>14973880
It felt faster than the other two.
>>14973888
15/39 sprockets still have you at 6800 at 65mph
Only way to get lower than that is power mods/being a 90lb little girl
As for the oil, I basically race to and from campus every day hitting the limiter all the time. If I rode like an old man I could stretch that out, but I don't.

Remember, you get exactly what you pay for. The bike is working hard at 75 MPH and I constantly find myself wishing there was more top end for passing but I'm already at 8000 RPM in 6th. I'm also a fatty at 5'8" and 180 lbs. Being unfaired, you get blasted by the wind and being so light, you get tossed around by crosswinds.
The flip side is you can literally toss the bike from one hand to the other hand in the corners. On my canyon runs around here in the East Bay, California, I keep it in 1st and 2nd and it rips. The powerband is very good in the midrange.
This bike is made in Thailand. It's not Chinese tier quality but it's a cheap bike. I'm not sure if the other bikes are Japanese or Italian made.

we broke camp after 4 days of rainy weather had made our area pretty much unusable.
>>14973634
>May I say here, that the Trans-Am Trail is NOT for everyone. It takes a rider with a “quest for adventure” and a special “love” for a motorcycle — the average days ride is about (200) miles from motel-to-motel.
>200 miles a day
>motels the entire way
Really?
>>14973963
We're not planning on staying in motels often, we're camping.
>>14973904
I have mine geared 16/41 with the 18" rear wheel and ride at 5400RPM at 65mph according to gearingcommander.
>hitting the rev limiter all the time
But it makes peak power well before limiter. Why ride it out that high for no reason?
Why do clutch wheelies scare me so much? Powering up without clutch jn first is very smooth and controllable. But even in second, when I clutch if up, it's so violent and fast. Is this something I just get used to? Or am I doing something wrong? Please help. I need this in my life.
>>14973963
That's hilarious
>>14972883
I was going to buy an SSB lithium to replace the OEM battery that's given up the ghost on my CB1100 but the charging system on that bike can deliver up to 15.5 volts, I rang up SSB who told me anything over the battery's max of 15.1 would cause serious damage to the battery.
When I get round to purchasing a track bike I'll definitely purchase a lithium solely to not have to worry about it losing charge over time.
>>14973984
I don't like clutch either. Second gear sitting back on the seat and gassing it ftw.
>>14973963
>"adventure" riding
>>14974012
Idk if I don't have much body weight to help it, so the front mostly feels really light or if I'm lucky comes up four inches or so. It will keep it up until I shift, but I would like a little more air. I think I'm just doing it wrong.
Will a bike make me more or less autistic?
>>14973984
You'll get used to it. Second gear clutch up wheelies are the most predictable for me.
>>14973932
Worth mentioning the fairing on the R seems to be worth ~10mph at the top end.
I wonder if the 300R or 500F is actually better at that speed, Vmax is pretty close on them.
>>14974029
If you have a bike you need to be able to talk to people, so if you have autism you should avoid. See the post below for an example of maximum autism.
>>14974022
>>14974038
>If you have a bike you need to be able to talk to people
Really? Never had to
>>14974032
Earlier I was practicing and got one to come up perfectly in second, felt like I was at this "balance point". Kind of straight up feeling, but I rode it out for what seemed like forever. Probably 100 yards or so. It was the best feel I've ever had. It's why I'm so obsessed now. I NEED IT. I understand now.
>>14974047
If you have a neat looking non shitbike*
>>14974022
Pinpoint accurate.
>>14974038
You don't have to talk to anyone, its called keeping your visor down.
>>14974047
I think he means cruiser riders as they have to ask people if they want their dick sucked.
>>14973983
Because I'm bad at shifting during wheelies and I have a race pipe.
>>14974029
Both but you will care less.
>>14974038
haha autism sick meme bro keep em comin u know any more sick reddit memes? ;) lay em on me brother ill wait LOL
>>14974052
>I was at this "balance point"
It really is a good place. see >>14973211
>>14974055
But you don't need to talk even then. Just ignore them.
Mallets make everything easier
>>14974074
Why is it so hard to replicate it? It was so easy and natural feeling at the time. Now I think the anticipation is fucking with me.
>>14974055
i rode an 848 for a couple years, people sometimes say "nice bike." you just flash them an icy smile and say thanks and turn away and that's that. if you're going to avoid social interaction at least learn to do it with some grace

Is that just the pipe, opened up air box and rejetted? I don't think I'm making anywhere near that with mine.
Wheelie webms when? I want to see how much of a shitcunt you are.

Your body is telling you no.
>>14974047
>>14974055
I ride a shitbike and everyone else I see with a shitbike wants to talk to mee. The other day I took my bike to my college campus and one guy with a DRZ stopped to talk to me, and took down my number so we could meet up and go riding some time. Another stopped me on my way in the door to talk about my bike and said he was converting a CRF to street legal, and took down my phone number for the same reason.
I guess they both saw my autism because I haven't heard from either lol.
>>14974108
nobody seems to like my versys. which is just fine by me, of course. i don't know how people live day to day driving around actual nice vehicles like ferrari's. they must really get off on the attention.
I'm having a seriously hard time finding a decent jacket.
Anyone have any suggestions?
All week long I have to hear shit about how I crashed and it just does not seem to stop. Fuck. I want my parts to arrive already so I can stop hearing everyone's hilarious commentary.
