>>15095655
Are those bars longer/wider than normal bars or does it just look like it due to the empty space where the controls normally would be?

So the Jews are selling this magnet to change lights for $20. Is anyone using a cheap one to do the same thing? I figure you ought to be able to order a $2 big neodymium magnet that will do the same thing.

I made them a little long because sometimes I have to strap it down using the bit that sticks out on the inside of the clamps, but mostly it's the controls and different m/c and clutch perch
hayyyy guise
getting my nanner ready for the 110+ degree summers out here. for the next 4 months, it be hot mayne.
i have an '04 ninja 250, 5000 miles on the clock. i just changed my oil and filter (using 20w-50 from 10w-40) and now im getting ready to flush the coolant out for the summer. its the green shit, possibly original. no bueno.
i bought some Engine Ice on the way home from work - i hear this shit is awesome, keeps stuff cooler and all that. guy at the parts store told me i have to be sure i flush out every bit of the old coolant or the engine ice and the old stuff will "gel" if they mix together.
question: -i asked him wat he meant by flush. he said just filled er up with distilled water, run it for a few minutes, shut it off and drain it and doing that once should be enough.
i asked him if i had to make sure the t-stat opened up while im running it with distilled water, he said not sure.
so: should i run it till its up to temp with the distilled water before i drain it to "flush" it? should i do that more than once or was he exagerating the problem?

Im thinking of picking up a z125 instead
>>15095708
Meh. Everyone has a flat black bike.
>>15095693
Yeah run it until you feel the heat in the radiator. If the thermostat doesn't open it won't really flow much.
I also heard to mix distilled vinegar with water 50/50 for flushing. Might want to read up a bit on that to see if there's benefits.
Make sure your radiator fan works. You might want to install a manual switch for it so you can get it blowing before it gets really hot.
>>15095705
How do you respond when normies ask what WAT is?
>>15095725
does my '82 rebel count?
That guide recommends beginners to buy a Ninja, but what if I want a cruiser? Is a 250 Rebel the equivalent?

b-b-but... i... you can clearly...
ok.
>>15095752
250 Rebels are slow as balls, they can barely manage 80mph, if that.
Cruisers in general are heavier and don't make as much power so you can usually get away with riding much bigger displacement ones as long as you can manage the weight.
Get at least a 500+ cc cruiser, anything under that will feel slow as balls.
>>15095752
Nope.

>>15095801
Passing power is nice sometimes.
Plus not having to wind the fuck out of the engine to do highway speeds is comfy too.
Buy whatever you want, Anon. Rebel 250's aren't exactly going to depreciate hugely in the future so you're not going to make a big loss if you have it for a couple of months then sell it.
>>15095801
You'll probably still want something that doesn't take 30+ seconds to just barely reach the speed limit at its top speed.
>>15095752
Honestly the 250cc starter thing is to be taken with a grain of salt. 650 v-twin bikes are way different the 600 inline SS bikes where the fear of big cc's comes from. You can still get in trouble with a 650 v-twin but if you're not retarded you'll be fine.
Further more cruiser type bike engine displacement is totally different to sport bike engine displacement. A 650cc v-twin cruiser's power is very different compared to a 650cc v-twin sport bike. Anything smaller than a 650 cruiser is worthless imo.
>>15095772
customized quite a bit on it, didn't like how it looked stock but it was cheap enough to still be cheaper than getting a different bike and not buying more shit for it than my gf buys shit for her cat.
>>15095841
Nothing wrong with wanting something more to your liking man. I'm wanting to get something painted on my batwing fairing. Just no idea what yet. I'm leaning toward the planet express logo though
>tfw you'll never own a tuned Italjet Dragster 180 that makes 50 odd hp as an inner-city runabout
Feels bad, man.
I have a confession.
I live an hour and a bit away from Port Dover.
I didn't go to the Friday the 13th at Dover.
I know some people ride across Canada and America just to go to Dover. So I feel a little bad about that. I've been riding for three years now and I've never been.
But it seems like it's a bunch of older people parking motorcycles (usually cruisers) and listening to radio friendly rock n' roll.
Just not my idea of fun. Am I wrong about Dover on Friday the 13th?
I've been through Dover outside of that. It's a nice enough place.
Think I should go next year, /dbt/?
>>15095777
>>15095752
got a "82 rebel, 650cc version though.
rides pretty fucking comvertable and easy to handle but pulls a wheelie quite fast when taking off while having a fuckedup centerofmass, its leftheavy and the shocks are shit making your first 50km+ speedbump ....intresting.
tops out at 190km accelerating slowly from 170km+

>>15095731
welp i know teh fan works in fact last night when i parked it after riding home from work (13 miles ride at 55mph, 8k rpm a lot) the fan had been kicked on. it ran for about 15 seconds then shut off, but ive known it ran in the past.
why am i going to be waiting til i feel heat in the radiator when im idling it with distilled water? when the radiator is warm thats when ill know the thermostat is open? i figured i'd be feeling the cylinder jug for warmth considering thats where the coolant goes when the stat opens up.
but i work in the car repair industry so i may be wrong on how the cooling system functions. thoughts? appreciate the tip. i think ill steer clear of the vinegar thing.
>>15095866
have an red anarchy logo on my madmax bike, don't have a picture of the other side on the laptop, ill upload it when i'm home.

Yes.
>i figured i'd be feeling the cylinder jug for warmth considering thats where the coolant goes when the stat opens up.
The heat is coming from the engine, so you that will be the first thing to get warm. You will know the coolant is flowing when the heat has moved from there to the radiator.
>>15095920
Cool, piss off then.
>>15095938
You know bikes more than I do
>>15095939
Makes sense, thanks anon.
Also, what would you say is the mileage equivalent for a used road bike compared to a car? Say 100k miles on a car.
>>15095992
Bikes will go forever if taken care of. Don't buy anything with more than 50k miles.
>>15095936

>>15096005
When did you get a katoom?
>>15095965
excellent thanks bud!
last question: when idling teh bike with the water in it - can i leave the rad cap off, or do i have to leave it on to build pressure so it will warm up like in a car? just trying to avoid the whole "pressurized, hot cooling system radiator cap removal explosion" thing that tends to go down.
had a bad experience with that in my first few years as a professional tech lol. :\
>>15096006
I cannaet stop laughing oh my lord, I wouldnt ride with this guy if he was in my uni club

>>15095992
>You know bikes more than I do
What does knowing bikes have to do with knowing what you like
High pegs and low bars are for stable cornering and being able to get down below the fairing. If you were doing high speed cornering all the time (eg. a track) it would likely be more comfortable because it wouldn't take so much energy to hang on to the bike but it's not designed to be comfy just sitting on it.
>>15096005
300?
Looks like some 2-stroke KTM from 2000-2007.
>>15095965
also dude weed lmao, ive been confusing cooling systems. of course it'll be flowing when the rad is hot. i knew that, but apparently cannabis and problem solving dont mix.
dont tell my mom.
>>15096018
Yes, put the cap on before you run the bike. Then let it completely cool off before you take the cap back off.

It's good to try new things. It's also good to not waste your time.

Do all 4 wheels need to be attached to an assembled bike?
>>15096043
that's just the transmission doing its thing. Are you talking about going into gear from neutral or 2nd gear? It could be because le input shaft isn't matching speed with le output shaft, so you need to le revmatch if shifting from neutral
>>15096031

>>15096114
i havent had anything street legal for a year now, but at least if i get the urge to run to the store on a bike i can now. i'm not going to use the KTM for any regular street riding due to the massive vibration, unbelievable fuel consumption, required motocross boots to kickstart, obnoxious noise level, and lack of blinkers, mirrors, speedo and horn.
>>15096146
i was running fine mesh screens but i took them off. if i ride it more regularly i'll get some UNI filters, but the odds of sucking something up are pretty low at a trackday. and i dont do enough miles to wear the rings out

The only real difference between a 650 vtwin on a cruiser vs a sport bike is the cruiser's weight holding it back. You're thinking of an inline 4 where the real difference is

650 twins in sport standards are liquid cooled DOHC units that put out about 70 hp at the wheels usually.
650 twins in cruisers are usually air cooled and put out about 1/2 that.

the sprag clutch is probably the most confusing MV agusta thing possible, i didn't they they'd been on any bikes since the early 90s.
It makes sense, a while ago I was watching some shootout of litrebikes and they had extreme trouble launching the MV agusta for the 1/4 mile reliably because the clutch just felt weird.
it all makes sense now.

the usual sorry didn't see you kinda thing, happened before but then i was able to stop in time, wasn't so lucky then though.
when you're doing the futurama theme keep us updated with the progress,
thinking about doing the gsx-r1000 with a sorta wasteland/fallout theme but not to-much over the top, kinda like the idea of ammo boxes maybe cut them apart and sorta use them as a side panel to make it look as-if its inside.
feels good to have fuckaroundmoney

I honestly wouldn't even know. Apparently what MV did for the slipper clutch effect on my bike was a setting that lets the ECU send fuel to cyl 2 above 7000rpm which reduces engine braking significantly.
I bought it because it handles fucking amazing at high speeds going max lean angle through corners. It's planted, soaks up bumps, and goes. That's all I really need.
potentially buying a TT600 this weekend
what should I look out for?

FZ6R.
Can't undo having the fuck thrashed out of engine for cheap.
If you're looking at an FZ6R it sounds like it's probably going to be your first bike so there's even more reason to get the FZ6R.
And some okay ones.

I've spent quite some time on it, didn't want to hover hand
that would have been too much of the autism meme
Selling my old 550 to buy a VF500. Whats the most you are willing to pay for a bike like this? has <12.5k on it.
>>15096924
I actually am.
SLIGHT missed focus on the bike though unfortunately and I still think you're letting the ISO go too high or something as it's a little noisy, that's why I'm always saying with this bike photography where sharpness is just really really important you need to go back and check the exposure on your camera playback and zoom into 100% and make sure it's pin sharp on the object you want, I think you're focused about a meter or so behind the bike.
the other thing is IMO the bike is lost a little bit, dark colour in general are tough, photographing black bikes for example is a nightmare because the only way to show their form properly is through reflections and highlights.
You can bring those up a little bit by just running over it with the "dodge" tool just to make it pop a little bit more.
super quick edit but you get the idea.

This is why you're poor.
>>15097116
>implying I don't want carbon fiber
It was also easier to find carbon fiber parts than it was to find fiberglass parts
Unless you don't factor in cost, in which case I can order ABS plastic parts from the factory for almost twice what the carbon fiber parts cost.

It's pretty gay, but not really autism.
Nicky hayden seems so happy in wsbk as of late, not that he wasn't a happy dude while he was in motoGP but it just seems less stressful in WSBK
Why are night rides the dankest?

I prefer day, I don't feel as comfortable riding down touges at night for obvs reasons, that sun near golden hour can be pretty annoying though.

Any Britfags here use sportsbikeshop? Why are their despatch times so shit at the moment?
Also, I've bought an RST Striker jacket, can I zip RST trousers into this? And should I go for the right height or the right waist trousers if it comes down to one or the other?
