>>15031367
Yeah, I can't find this tiny coolant leak. Gonna put them back on and stop giving a fuck.
>>15031378
just tape over the hoses and reservoir
is there some site i can compare different parts?
i need to check some triple trees
>>15031393
what do you mean compare parts?
>>15031402
i need to check how some fairings are mounted on different versions of my bike

i hope it's the yamaha one
2,5k for a used one
>>15031384
II'll need to braze some cooling fins onto the engine to do that tho.
It's easier just to add 100ml to the reservoir every 3 months or more.
>>15031424
Tell him to get a GS500
>>15031431
What is there beside the Yamaha Bolt?
its new
>>15031436
no idea what braze means, but if it's such a minimal leak, the fuck did you strip your bike for???
>>15031445
yeah, don't get a new one, if you can't afford it...
cruisers especially are marked up as hell
>>15031404
hm, not sure then. product listings should have some photos of them installed. you can check partzilla or bikebandit to see exploded diagrams. they might give you an idea of how they're mounted
>>15031424
i rode my friends bolt all the time. its super boring. he traded it for an fz09 and now he can keep up.
>>15031451
got some on the oem site, thanks

>Got a new job at BMW

Awesome. Now I only need to win the lottery once to be able to afford one.
>>15032196
Because I will spend 80/20 road/dirt time and I need it to be able to be comfy enough to drive everyday for long distance. XT660z was the other option

Last summer in Italy I slept on a slope on the side of a highway in a sleeping bag next to my bike. Slept like a baby. The same thing applies everywhere: get away from population centers, get off the road in a place without a trail or path, get out of sight, use the "dumb tourist"/no hablo español routine (point to foreign license plate) if caught.
all these nobikes hating on adv riders.
stop being condescending cunts and just enjoy what you ride dumb cuckaroos

>In winter, the diurnal range in the western suburbs is relatively high, with temperatures being as high as 19 °C (66 °F) during the day and as low as 5 °C (41 °F) at nights. Such low temperatures may provide mild to moderate frost in the western suburbs.[26] Lows in the Sydney CBD rarely drop below 5 °C (41 °F)
>>15032368
its fun to watch them lose their shit about the dumbest stuff though
>>15032382
Adv bikes are fuggin comfy tho, you have to admit.
Also, selling my weeeeeeeeeeeestrom to get an F800GS that I can take bush whacking
um, question.., why dont you guys own cars? is it a budgetting thing or?

What % discount ?
also, deutsche ?

>hating on adventure comfy
I can understand hating on the pigfat 500lb+ bikes, but some of them are super nice.
>>15032370
Yes, yes, lucky you.
>The magnitude of diurnal range varies with the season, being lowest in winter when cloudiness is much more prevalent, and greatest in the warmer part of the year. At Boise, for example, the average diurnal range is only 14° F in January, but exceeds 30° F in July through September. Temperatures can range from -60° to 118° F. The coldest monthly mean minimum temperature has been -20° F, and the warmest monthly mean maximum 104° F.

I own cars simply because I need a way to transport my family, and winter roads are far too dangerous for my bike around here.
>>15032402
I have before, but didn't enjoy it all that much, took my dads F650GS Twin for a spin and just love the engine, ergo, all that. Plus I like looking at F800GS'
>>15032412
Why not get a second bike that's more trail ready? While fun, big bikes leave a lot to be desired on the trail. Not to mention they wear you out super fast. >>15032412
>>15032423
Can't afford the rego/warrants of fitness for multiple bikes, and don't have a space to get a trailer for a dirtbike, so gotta get something that'll do both kinda okay.

It was originally made because of it's high nutritional value (sugars from molasses, fibers from rye), not because it'd be particularly tasty (which it ain't).

>>15032722
It's shit.
It's a weak dual cylinder, bad for offroading because it's heavier than a klr and has less torque, mediocre on the road and it sounds like absolute garbage.

Looking to change my 454 LTD's oil. Most guys from the 454 LTD forum have used shell Rotella T on these bikes and swear by it. In Europe there's Shell Helix and Rimula that both seem similar but I don't want to take unnecessary chances. Anybody who can clear that up ?
>>15032780
Why
>>15032780
What question?
>>15032722
Agree with the sound part. Kond of agree with te offroad part but I don't plan on doing heavy offroading anyways-maybe a bit of unpaved roads.
For the road part-suits my beginner needs for now- still faster than almost all cars on lights, tall-can see over traffic-easy to ride on commutes. Plus I am pretty tall so it suits me.
Was looking at klr's but they are more offroad oriented and the registration and insurance fees on those are double than the kle so the jew in me decided.
Maybe I fucked up badly thought- we'll see

>>15032814
sehr gut
>>15032815
the answer is pop the clutch and do a bunny hop over the disturbance.
Have insurance total it out or try an fix it?
Fairings are fucked on both sides, frame, swing arm and wheels are scuffed and scratched, leaking oil out the stator. Getting out of payments would be nice too.
What is buyback on supersport these days? I don't want to ride it in the street again, just track.

On the side of the triple or just below the seat on the side really isn't that uncommon on lolcruisers
I dont know if I should put 3M reflective tape on my bike or not, on one hand I want stupid fucking baby boomers and soccer moms to see me. But on the other hand I dont want to stick out like a bones album cover if im shitriding.
>>15032868
Boomers won't see you anyways.
>>15032868
Don't do it if you live the hoon life. Even when people see you they don't necessarily make a point to avoid you.
>>15032856
Yep, everyone goes 120 km+ when they get the chance.
>>15032868
That's some shitty reason.

License test was super easy. It was just 4 low speed maneuvers. The only hard part was understanding where the instructor wanted me to go.

It might be able to run lights without the bike on if it has a battery.

>tfw underutilized dirtbike as a kid, was never super comfortable with traction loss and sliding
>didn't start at 18 months old like I should have either
>only sort of ok-ish now
>>15033043
Did you not have a bicycle?
>>15033043
>ftw scared I might suck at kickstarting the 600cc of pure fury
I'm thinking I can do it, but still the doubts are there
>>15033058
the TT 600 has one version that got delivered without battery from the factory, how the fuck does that work my man?
How does the bike run without it?
the dude said it still starts fucking easy without battery (kickstart only bike) so I think you can obviously ride without it, but how?
>had back problems for 3 weeks and couldn't ride
>now suck at riding
welp

Shouldn't really have forgotten, it's just like riding a bike.

if it's kickstart only it doesn't matter if it has a battery or not
>>15033078
Basically everything will only work when the engine is running. The lights will likely be powered from the DC current directly from the stator. So the spark and lights will be powered just as the engine turns.
Have the owner give you the run down on the starting procedure that works best for that particular bike. For thumpers you generally want to slowly kick it until you start to feel compression, then bring the kick lever to the top of its stroke and jump on it. Giving it throttle while kicking usually isn't good, but if it has a pumper carb you might want to give it throttle before you kick to get that squirt of gas in the cylinder and prime it.

my 80s shitbike doesn't have a battery too. kickstart only obviously
it sitll has an alternator so when the engine runs power is produced. But it goes directly to anything electric instead of a battery.

thanks my negroes
so if I want to backfire, I killswitch it, pump the throttle, "unkill" it and then i'd have to kick it again, right?
fucking lel that must look stupid
>>15033144
no
when you backfire your e-start bike you just turn it off then on, you don't use the starter, so why would you use the kickstart?
>>15033144
For keybangers?
>be rolling in gear with enough momentum to let go of the throttle for a few seconds
>hold the kill switch off and pump the throttle
>turn kill switch back on
>since you are still rolling and in gear it will restart on its own.
You shouldn't even have to touch the starter when doing it, whether e-start or kickstart.

ayy so it's just like I would bump start it, makes sense somehow
fuck I'm retarded today.
>>15033144
>killswitch it
>engine is powered by momentum/backwheel but no explosion because no electricity
>killswitch off, engine gets spark again w ith shit ton of fuel in the system
