Why do so many riders refuse to shoulder check?
>>15265760
he was actually too shit to take the corner and was running wide.
>>15265735
Flat is justice.
>>15265767
Yep
>>15265767
This, he started the corner too early, panicked and ran wide under the truck.
>then proceeded to buy a GS500 dunce bike
Looks like CTA got frustrated.

be that as it may, he still didn't look. A quick glance would have told him the truck was there and may have spurred him into a slightly different course of action, thus saving him from the crash.

gonna be slow as shit and bring a hi jack in case you drop it so you can upright that monstrosity again
>>15265831
nah if you're running wide I don't see how fucking up even more by looking in the direction you don't want to go would help.
The best thing for him to would have been to at some point learn how to take a corner.
>>15265831
Why would you shoulder check to get on the joining lane? If drobe had done that he'd run even wider.
>>15265792
Uh... This was the gs500, he has a cb500 now
>>15265831
He ran wide. Shoulder checking would have achieved nothing.
>>15265850
>>15265749
>worst riders ever on /dbt/ all on gs500s
>they're the same people shitposting constantly about how they're the "BEST BEGINNER BAIKUS"
Gs500 genocide when?
>>15265840
Fair enough. I can't really comment on cornering skills as I'm a cruiserfag and as such can't turn, but in so many videos I see a distinct lack of riders looking over their shoulders to check their blind spots and it just irks me.
>>15265837
If I can go 80 it's fast enough for me. Would it really be that hard to pick up?
>>15265858
>gs500 best beginner bike
Said nobody ever outside sarcasm mode
>>15265846
Personally, I always shoulder check when pulling onto a joining lane because there is always one guy who thinks it's a lane leading to an exit and starts to drift over into it.
But like I said, I concede. When you're running that wide a should check isn't going to make much difference. It's just a shame to see that happen to someone.
>>15265865
depends, how strong are you? know anyone with a similarly heavy bike for you to try picking up?
panniers and a rack will be that much more weight up high to lift when you have to upright the bike
>>15265822
Admit it
You need a goldwing

I'm pretty strong. The only person I know well who's stronger than me is my step brother (he can throw a cinder block 15 feet I can throw it 12 feet)

Ayy Ninjabro, Just sold mine to my gf since i passed my unrestricted test the other day. Was a great bike.

>motor-driven cycles prohibited
>>15265976
Nothing about that looks like a good idea.
>>15266100
In California-speak, a "motor-driven cycle" is a motorcycle or moped producing less than 15 HP at the crank (SAE Net)
>>15266106
DDR, BITCH
>>15266092
you have good taste in roads
>>15266034
So you arent making a luggage rack you are making a tow hitch.
>>15266118
Grom btfo
Is there a website that tells you what category your bike falls under for insurance?
>>15266130
It's pulling double duty. It's a luggage rack that terminates into a trailer hitch
>>15266141
Get a quad bike
>>15266133
Just put down whatever is close enough. If you put down sport but its really a supersport no one is going to give a fuck
>>15266133
Look up what your bike is; the manufacturer should have it categorised
>>15266092
>>15266128
This is some fucking silly shit.
How do I lean on a quad though?
>>15266131
>>15266118
Good Gravy, they have changed the law since I was a callow youth with a shitbike... It's now 149CC and less for a "motor-driven cycle" (yes I just looked it up, AFTER talking out the side of my neck)
At 124.9cc, grom is still BTFO.
>>15266150
>>15266148
I guess I'll be specific.
Yamaha fz, let's say the 9
Is it sport or sport touring? Because it's more expensive as a sport no?
>>15266161
You don't. That's why they suck.
I want all the cocks.
>>15266092
Ayy, Lmao. That looked dope. now i wanna go do that to the overpass on broadway rd. i love how the damn thing feels reliable, its liquid cooled and peppy enough to get what i want out of it. im 6ft 1 tho so if i could find a way to raise the seat height a tad or move the rearsets farther down id be in heaven.
>>15266152
silly af all day son.
>>15266161
You corner so hard that the inside wheels lift up.
>>15266163
It's a meme
>>15266167
Exactly. Plus, I'd have to do a ton of shit to make it street legal.
>>15266163
That's a naked sportbike or it could be considered a road bike
>>15266171
>the inside wheels lift up
that's some extreme maneuveneering right there
>>15266183
>HE LIVES IN A COUNTRY WHERE QUADBIKES AREN'T STREET LEGAL
>>15266193
Read and digest the definition of inside and outside wheel again
>>15266034
>>15266034
there should be no slash in cubic inches
God damn my bedroom smells like shit and I can't figure out where the smell is coming from. Already did laundry, took out the trash, checked my sheets, pillow, sprayed oust, etc. The smell seems to be coming from nowhere yet it lingers everywhere
>>15266226
dont just check the sheets famalam, wash them. one time i had blown a load in my sleep 3 weeks prior and when i woke immediately showered/washed the close but the smell lingered like a bootyhole from hell. couldnt see it on the sheets.........but it was there c:
>>15266226
Its yo moms pussay
>>15266205
Noted for future reference now let's forget minor grammatical errors and focus on the build.
>>15266196
Indicators, running lights, brake lights, horn, and DOT approved tires would have to be added
Anybody own a klr650? Are they fun? I'm looking for another bike to ride around since my main is pretty much a street legal dirtbike and have been looking at a couple of these.
my brother wrecked my bike and it's going to take a month to get it fixed...
>>15266280
Make him buy you a new one
Decided to get my first bike.
>>15266287
he's paying for the repairs.
i already had him sell his bike so he had the funds.

Is it gay that Bakuon actually pushed me towards to finally getting my M1 license?
My friend bugged me for the past 3 years since he got his and I finally got mine, he said we're heading to the canyons as soon as I pick up my R3 this weekend.
>>15266290

>>15266290
What kind of people buy trikes?
>>15266296

>>15266296
>R3
Before you hit the canyons change the tires. They're great for commuting for the longevity and wet traction but shit even when not particularly pushing it
Source: currently have them
>>15266304
>>15266313
But they're safer right ?
>>15266241
Moved the sheets down into the laundry room. Smell still here. It seems to be coming from one of my walls. Maybe a mouse crawled up in one and died.
>>15266325
Not at all
>>15266325
>>15266331
you also look like a massive fucking tool no matter what
>>15266325
If you insist on getting a trike a least get one of these. I only see old men riding the kind you posted and frankly they look like shit.
>>15266317
Seeing as I just blew $5k on the bike I don't mind leaving the canyons with chicken strips.
>>15266344
That looks like a custom job
>>15266344

>>15266344

Yep.
Finally got a replacement plate. JB welded it to some steel in the hopes that it won't break off again. I'm being so productive today.
First night ride in a while. Was pretty enjoyable.
>>15266375
>tubeless black
A-are there other colors?
>>15266365
For me they're good enough. The irc road wieners are kinda expensive but have really good dry traction for commuter tires.
Fortunately I won't have this problem again since my upcoming bike has normal sized tires
>>15266382
>broke off
Did you do sick wheelie scrapes or did the exhaust pulses crack it?
>>15266382
>tfw I can't psych myself up to go get my soldering iron and finally fix my bike so it's rideable.
Tomorrow I'll probably be motivated enough to do it. I just worked a 10 hour shift after doing a double red cell donation though so I'm fucking out of it.
>>15266390
Even Mika Häkkinen agrees: The only decent tires are black round pirellis.
Still working on the 300's engine, got the cases back from the shop today and have all the parts now so hopefully i can get it back together tonight, never know might even get it back in the frame.
>>15266385
>reflective rim tape at night
>>15266275
I've got a klr. I love it as an only bike but if I could go for two bikes I wouldn't get one again. I'd get something like a v strom with more road capability and a dual sport to really go off road
My ideal garage would be as follows
>Africa twin
>zx6r
>Wr250
>Grom for fucking around
>>15266290
Please kill yourself. I'm not even joking. Kill. Your. Self.
>>15266092
The Honda Ninja is the best motorcycle you can buy desu. I'd recommend offroad tires so you can have fun wherever you're at and you can buy underglow at autozone so people can see you better.
what's a good set of basic tools to work on a bike?

>>15266406
>wr250 and grom for fucking around
Why not make one of those a real dirt bike like a beta rr300?
And the other a trials bike
>>15266415
Hopefully you follow suit.
>tfw new helmet is in the mail
kinda hype
>>15266406
What are the RPMs like on the freeway? Around 70ish?
>>15266325
No. Minor crashes (lowsides) won't happen. Instead you'll spin out, high side, get thrown off the thing, or worse. Then once you crash if you're in good enough shape to keep going you'll never get the thing up. Its more of a car than a motorcycle. Not to mention you'll look like the worlds biggest douche, and you'll never be able to lane split. You'd be better off converting an atv for street use than buying that shit.
>>15266425
but in all seriousness, find a good set of metric wrenches and sockets, anything with a lifetime warranty will do the trick
buy some quality screwdrivers, and buy an impact screwdriver if you will be working on any older bikes
craftsman or kobalt are good enough brands for the typical home mechanic
>>15266290

I learned something about myself tonight. I need to limit riding with my brother. We feed off each other and eventually ride like total assholes. I don't think the fact that we both have liter bikes helps in any way.
>>15266451
They are pretty much the same helmet but fit different head shapes
>>15266434
I'd say about 5 to 6 thousand
>>15266427
Why do I need more than a 250 for dirt?
And because I need a bike I can drop on pavement and not give a Fuck for when I'm feeling stupid
>>15266451
i got a better deal and the shoei doesnt fit my noggin too good.
>>15266453
i think i can still use goggles in that one, but i already have a nice dedicated dirt lid
>>15266290
Please stop.
>>15266456
You don't know about driving like an asshole until you start cutting though people's yards and privet property etc on a duel sport.

You silly goose.
>>15266466
How about riding down a bicycle/hiking trail on a dual sport, and people are getting off the trail and giving you stern looks? That's the douchiest thing I've done lately
>>15266393

post webums everyone
Must really suck to be a city boy, you pretty much have no choice but to ride a sport bike or cruiser. This deeply saddens me.
>>15266507
w-what about scoots
>>15266507
Why? Both of those bikes suck for the city.
>>15266505
Why is it doing this for some of my webms? They are all 20 seconds or less
>>15266484
Yeah. I knew where I wanted to go but was lost so I took a shortcut. When I got to the fishing spot I pulled off into the brush and kinda hid my shit a little. Ridig out was sketchy though. I was hauling ass and didn't know the trail cause I saw some guy whip out his cell and I assumed he was getting the police on the horn.
>>15266500
Exactly my point
>>15266513
I'm sorry, I forgot about the scooter bros.
>>15266466
>>15266478
Drag racing at traffic lights, cutting through traffic, hitting highly illegal speeds during said drag race, rev bombing people. It's easy that's pretty douchey.

If I lived there I'd probably have a suped up fan boat instead of a motorcycle. I'd probably fish a lot more as well. I wouldn't ever want to ride a cruiser or sport bike as my main. I'd probably own a Honda ruckus just for kicks.

i am, don't want to get it too hot though

I think I spent around that too even with a hotel the first night in Durango, CO and a new camp chair

>>15266822
sport bikes are not my forte, neither is EFI, but stuttering is improper fuel:air or lack of spark
I doubt it's not getting air. Fouled plugs would happen all over the place I think. Gotta be fuel, so either pump or injectors. Injectors don't go bad often, fuel pumps go all the time.
Just my 2 quid
>>15266848
You're classified.
>>15266855
Rights so it sounds like it'll be coil or pump, Gives me a place to start looking around at least. Thanks.

Check your plugs, might get lucky.
>>15266874
Nah, I've checked my plugs and never gotten laid afterwards.

Bought for 1000, sold for 1300. I think i did well. Theres shitloads if them for under 1000 if you want one mate. Im busy having fun on newbike
>>15266874
I just read about a kickstand sensor causing similar problems, cutting the wires to it or fixing the spring worked for another guy with similar problems, I'd like to start cheap and work my way up
>>15266888
>bought a 300 after a 250
No, really. You fucked up.
>>15266893
If it starts the chances of it being the kickstand or clutch sensor are pretty low.
>>15266893
>>15266914
Yeah I don't see how the sensor would only fuck up at WOT, but if it's a thing on your forum try it.
>>15266897
I had it for a month. Im still a learner too so i cant get much more, the lams 600s are junk.
>>15266927
Why not just get a bigger bike and restrict it?

Can't do that.
If it's more than 250cc and/or not on the list you can't ride it.

do u guys have any ideas? I wrecked on my drz400 and the radiator was fuked. I got a new one and put it on, went to test it out, drove for 2 miles then it turned off, tried to start it, and it made hella think white smoke, looked like vape. It started nd shit, I walked it home, tried to start and BANG, it make a loud bang. I run for 5 mins and it stops smoking mostly but still smokes a lil. It never smoked before, only been sitting for like 2 weeks
>>15265714
I've recently been really interested in two stroke sport bikes, are there any that are commonly available in the US? I know of the RG500 and the RZ500, neither of which are cheap or common. And the RZ350 which aren't exactly growing on trees.
>>15266987
usually that means gasket is gone
I swapped my radiator a few months ago and nothing happened, bike just ran normal after.
>>15266971
3, 4 if you keep learners for a year instead of 3 months
>>15266976
i don't know that feel

>>15265822
You should get one of the new camo paint KLRs.
Overall I like your plan, the trailer part does sound a tad iffy but bike trailers have been done before so it's certainly doable. Also don't you think ammo can panniers are a bit played out? Personally I'd opt for a canvas pair that won't dent or break in a fall.
I don't know how big the tank on a KLR is or how comfy the seat is over long rides but I know they're both issues with it's rival the DR 650 so you may have to look into that.
Good luck and post pics in any case.
>>15266989
Why not just buy a cheap ass scooter or used Honda ruckus and throw a 2stroke motor inside it? Same horsepower with almost 1/4 the weight? You can make it street legal as well because they don't do emissions on motorcycles/scooters plus The Honda ruckus looks badass especially when you mod it. Just put a high gear ratio on the sprockets and you can be doing road speeds easily.
>>15266996
Really? fairly sure i have said both are mine while you are around before

As much as I hate to agree with a tripfag, a lot of confusion could be cleared up if everyone posted with their bike in the name field. Also would show who's nobike.
>>15267032
why are you responding to shitposting?
has anything reasonable ever been said with "cuck" in it somewhere?
>>15267025
Because then it would be a scooter.

yeah but if you put a name in the name field then you have to make a trip otherwise people copy your name and shitpost

QUESTION
So i filled my XR650R tank up last week, to the brim. Haven't messed with it since because I'm waiting on a new clutch cover. Moving it out of the garage just now I notice the tank is like half gone.
It has been pretty hot this week and I have had a box fan on in my garage. No signs of fuel leaking and the engine turns over by hand so it didn't escape into the cylinder. Is there a chance that I lost almost 2 gallons of gas from evaporation in a week?
taking the MSF course this weekend, anything I should know prior?
>>15267052
did you move in next to a boong?
>>15267053
Just know that's it's easy as fuck and you're probably going to get bored.
I want to get a keychain for my bike key.
What should I get?
>Hard Mode: Good and tasteful memes
>>15267064
that's what I like to hear
>>15267052
No, did you leave your fuel tap on?
just quickly take the filler cap off your side cover and see if it pisses out, it might be full to the brim with petrol
>>15267062
If someone came in my garage and stole 2 gallons of gas from my dirt bike, but not my bike[s] or tools then then they are sneaky as fuck and can keep it
>>15267025
Because that's retarded? You'd have to change and reinforce the entire drivetrain, and the handling would be absolute shite because of the wheels
>>15267070
a O'Neal crawler made of silicone
>>15267092
Don't you mean you'd get to? Don't you care about fun?
>>15267074
The fuel tap was on, rookie mistake, but if it was consistently overfilling the bowl it would be leaking out the overflow, right? When I push the bike back in I'll drain the oil and see if it's mixed with gas. I pulled the dipstick and it just smelled like oil but that's up in the frame because dry sump so I'm not sure if the fumes would make it to that point.
>>15265740

ask our good friend "the pocket biker" a man who made on average a youtube video for every 100 miles he ever rode on his ninja 300 up to the point where he crashed it by being a useless cunt and replaced it with a 600.
After all, he had 1000 miles of experience under his belt and even though he couldn't take a slight bend on the 300 he's ready desu.

Tips from CC81PT's garage pt 1
If you drain a fluid from.you bike and leave it dry for some reason, use masking tape on the throttle or kickstart to remind you so you don't try and start your bike without oil/coolant/brake fluid etc

2 stroke bikes typically do. Some 2 stroke street bikes have an oil injection system but most offroad 2ts need premix

Anything two stroke that doesn't have an oil injection pump.
