Also get an automatic bike so you don't need to use the clutch lever.

that I kind of think is funny
but lmao
and also a klr 650 still fo sale.
My throttle cable is a single one with no return cable. It's been getting very sticky recently especially when the bars are turned to the right. (this bends the cable over on itself)
Would oiling it help much? Should I get a new cable? Can I put oil into it without disconnecting it from the carb? What oil do you use for this kind of thing?
Pls save me from throttle lock death.
>>15069593
Com here and buy xr650 guy's klr

I would just like to let you all know that you're missing out if you don't listen to music while riding.
>>15069807
The sound of my engine is enough
>>15069767
There's something wrong with that
>>15069820
Have you even tried? I can still hear my engine fine when listening to music.
>>15069823
No, because I've never felt the need to. Also, how?
>>15069807
Doesn't loosing spacial awareness scare you?
>>15069717

could be true, but I dont want to keep and maintain her as a collector item for some future profits.
>>15069759
Just wasn't practical for me anymore. Moved to a big city for wageslavin and the nuda sucks for longer highway trips back home
Still, I'm gonna miss her
>>15069386
Can you start it somehow without the battery? Wouldn't buy it without listening to the engine running first. Why wouldn't he spend a tiny amount of money replacing the battery so its 1000x easier to sell?
>>15069838
>>15069890
It's spatial btw. Just putting it out there.

I don't even walk outside with headphones, not hearing what happens around makes me feel uncomfortable.

Face it, you feel uncomfortable because of crippling social anxiety even without headphones.

Wanna get a GSR 600 (2009 model). I've test ridden once and I found it extremely comfy to ride while at the same time handling and suspension were above average compared to other naked Japanese bikes. The engine was also smooth as butter. What do you think /o/? Any alternatives with good stock suspension?
>>15069928
You sold your Superduke? Why?
Jesus fucking christ my goddamn license plate fell off somewhere. First long ride of the season and this shit happens.

Noob question: Thinking about buying a 2002 SV650S, is it even remotely possible that the claimed 25000km on it are real and not rewound?
>>15070124
he was guaranteed to have a bad time
>>15070175
Yes. But only if you can get the maintenance history.
>>15070175
>Noob question: Thinking about buying a 2002 SV650S, is it even remotely possible that the claimed 25000km on it are real and not rewound?
You can never be 100% about mechanical odometers.
The question is, how does the bike run at higher mileage?
Also it could be 125000km, who knows?
>>15070175
Are the 02's carb'd?
>>15070194
Not likely, the big four began the switch around 1998.
>>15070201
2002 is carbed
>>15070194
the first gen was until 2003, and it was indeed carbed
>>15070201

First reply best reply
Gon make the call tomorrow, wish me luck
>>15070234

>>15069698
If anything it's agonizingly average in every department except for the willfully bad chain tensioner design (fail and grenades the whole motor) and shitty thermostat design that keeps the top end boiling lava hot and the crankcase icebox cold.
Aftermarket is pretty good, stock suspension is great too. They're balls cheap because they're third world as fuck.
Hey /dbt/,
Had fun on my bike this morning riding the more curvy roads in town and around the mountain. Had a great time till it I needed to return. Weather turned and was was a calm sunny day became a brown windstorm with 40-50mph gusts.
Shit got interesting on the loop going 70-80mph.
How's your day so far?

Well, if you look at the SV650 "rivals", they only got FI rather late
Honda Hornet: 2007
Yamaha FZR 600: 2004
Suzuki GSF600: 2007
>>15070258
I've pulled them off before but the bike ends up looking like an angry insect. Not sure if want.
>>15070292
That's weird, i thought it would have been sooner.
>>15070304
only the flagships
cbr f41 first 600cc sportbike with EFI in 2001
rest followed 2-3 years later
>>15070304
Nah,. most of the naked standard bikes got EFI rather late because if it ain't broke, why fix it?
>>15070294
angry insects a cool
>>15070317
Maybe in the future if I drop it and fugg up a side fairing I'll go back to the semi-naked look and clean up the wiring and brackets.
>>15070313
>>15070304
also carbs are easier to fix and on a naked bike you're more likely to drop it

>carbs are easier to fix
yeah nothing easier than pulling 4 carbs and adjusting each one of them after replacing every jet, screw and cleaning it thoroughly
>>15070350
the US is so small that I guarantee you that there's someone close to you
>>15070352
and now compare that to fixing EFI
shit you can't, welp buy a new ECU for 500 bucks

And that's from a guy that prefers and rides EFI.
>>15070364
is he ded?
>>15070414
Yep. if its the crash im thinking of the guy that landed his bike on him was also banned from racing for life.
>>15070418
Did he just ignore a yellow/red flag?
>>15070418
Why would he be banned? Wasn't his fault some dude didn't wait to mount the bike until after everybody passed.
Morning dbt, hows life going?
>>15070434
I'm going mad because I can't figure out wich size of pants to order.
>>15070426
Yep
>>15070430
It was 100% his fault, there was no need o try and jump that ledge and try to flat land it, all it did was get someone killed.
>>15070438
XXXXXL m8
>>15070438
why not go try gear on at the shop then pay the extra $20 or so it cost?
>>15070441
Did he know there were a bunch of people right over the edge though? I can understand if there were some kind of warning sign by some ref, but I don't see any in the frame.
>There was no need to try and jump that ledge
Is it not a race? Wouldn't it be slower to slow down and barely roll down the hill ever so slightly? Doesn't that kinda defeat the purpose of these events?
>>15070434
Bad as usual
>>15070454
>the extra $20
You mean the extra 150$.
Fucking dainese.
>>15070458
The fact that the rider on the far side of the jump comes over it at very low speed, just after the guy flooring it, would suggest there was a flag already up.
>>15070458
yes he did know they were there, thats why he hit it faster than everyone else, he was trying to do a sneaky breaky and got someone killed for it.
dudes a cunt, i would have gone and belted the fuck out of him if i was watching that.
>>15070477
Then I can see why he was banned.
>>15070478

>>15070489
it was romaniacs 2014 if im not mistaken.

Dearest /dbt/,
I am a new rider, just got endorsed today. I'm a poor fag so I need to squid a bit before I buy all my gear. First on the list is obviously helmet (borrowed one from a friend for class) but what should my list be after that? What I wore to class was a winter coat, jeans, mechanix gloves, and a pair of steel toe Red Wings boots.
I heard boots might be a good place to start for a second buy as they are generally the first thing to hit the ground, but I just wanted to get some other opinions.

So tired
Dear /o/,
today I laid down my bike. After we did a tour with more than 50 motos and eating sausages and shit, I rode home and my rear wheel slipped at 20-30kmh immediately away, the wet street was like ice there.
Just got some minor injuries and my Streetfighter doesn't look to bad, but I still feel so bad.
Ride safe, bros.
