2. Everyone always goes for the big boy bikes. TFW Ninja 250
>>15269528
Kinda hard because most bikes in a category look about the same when you see them out in the wild and people mod them more then with cars. I can't tell any of the various 'glides', rods, heads and tails Harley makes, and can't tell them apart from metric cruisers either, for example.
>>15269502
I replaced mine recently, too
they were 20€ each, I need two too
>>15269528
I guess 4? Hard to say.
>>15269528
CBF250 is a solid 4, I see one or two at least every week commuting.
As for the CBR600, it depends. CBR600 themselves are everywhere on a weekend, but the F3 model itself is rather rare. I've only seen a single one other than mine in a year and a half of riding.

>>15269602
its all good brother, if you do find out what size they are just hotlink me ill be on for a few more hours and i can send them for little to nothing to you, like all i need is gassmoney till monday so i'd sell them for about 5euro to help you out

My wife wants to learn to ride, too, and the ergo-fit system of this bike suits that better. Plus I imagine it's significantly lighter than whatever 1800 that is.
>>15269668
Only one of the two is available, 10 € shipping and I'm almost up to what I'm paying at the dealer as well...
>>15269683
Yeah, what could go wrong? I should have bought a 5 € clamp and just pulled on the broken cable directly, no need for a new one.
>>15269639
drobe anon is that you?
Just look for "cb500 throttle cables" (in german obviously) on ebay.de and select used only and you have to find something.
I'm on ebay.de/nl/uk all the time when searching for parts and I can always find all sorts of exotic stuff there.
>>15269690
>not driving without a licence.
lost my license when i was 18, been driving from 14 till 18 withouth licence from dirtbikes to racers and then again from about 19 till 24and going
only 2 more years for my suspension to pass, havent been lit up since that one time while i hardly ever ride under the speedlimit
>>15269528
2? Honda nighthawk, uncommon enough
>>15269705
I appreciate your sarcasm. Feel free to waste your money.
There is literally no need for a second throttle cable if you keep the pull cable lubed and maintained. Your return cable should fit right up to use as a pull cable so that is far different from clamping and tugging a broken cable.
>>15269715
Yes.
I dunno, I don't really trust ebay people but next time I'm definitely doing it. Can't be worse than OEM jews.
>>15269726
I like to think it's there for a reason, funnily enough.

In still working on my license so I can't use it yet :(
Muh gixxer
>>15269740
nice try
>>15269728
It's there so you can force the throttle shut if you let your primary throttle cable fray or gum up and stick with the throttle open. Maintain your shit and you won't have to worry about that. None of my bikes have them. On the off chance that it does stick I can just drag the brake or hit the kill switch
Mainly it's there so the manufacturer doesn't get a lawsuit if the throttle sticks.
>>15269715
>I'm on ebay.de/nl/uk all the time when searching for parts and I can always find all sorts of exotic stuff there.
ikr?, I've been finding crazy cheap shit on the "craiglist-like" part of ebay but I'm afraid to buy because it's not covered by customer protection.
If I gave in a few weeks ago I might have ended with 5 leather jackets.
>>15269731
yea its quite a big difference between brand new bikes and the 250-600$ trashers ive been buying about every half a year
>>15269728
There are some pretty good sellers 2bh pham.
Look and the pictures carefully and always ask for more pics or the origin of the part if you're undecided.
As an example, on the terrible financial decision that was acquiring a project bike, I was able to get an front fairing support for 30€, top+bottom yokes for about 50€, two discs for around 100€ I think.
New OEM discs from honda would have cost 700€ the pair. Talk about jewing.
Secondhand stuff on ebay is a blessing to the average poor man anon.

Hey /dbt/,
Its 98deg F outside right now and no breeze. My only pair of riding pants are 3 season (cold) waterproof that don't breath well enough for summer. Should I just accept that my nuts are going to fry? Should I just ware plain jeans and hope I don't go down? Should I just hide inside and wait for the evening?
Also can anyone recommend an inexpensive but serviceable pair of mesh overpants?

>>15269779
LMAO
>>15269803
shorts and t-shirt with open face helmet is the way to go
>>15269754
I guess you also don't have a front wheel because as long as you keep the rear wheel intact and wheelie everywhere you're fine.
>>15269769
Yeah, lesson learned.
> 700€ the pair
WHAT THE FUG
Replace them twice and you might as well have bought another CB 500.
>>15269822
totally not the same thing. My bikes still function 100% with only 1 throttle cable.
>>15269813
What do I win?
Is a KTM/Husqvarna 500 a good idea for my next sumo? My WR450 is on it's deathbed.
>>15269836
You can still
> ride in a straight line
> corner
> accelerate
> decelerate
while willying, so your bike still functions 100% with only 1 tire as well, in the same sense.
But then, you literally said that if you don't have the close cable, you can't shut off the throttle when the opener cable breaks (which mine did, funny that). So it obviously and literally does NOT function at 100% without it, since that is a function of your bike and it's not there anymore.
> just brake hard to stall
Unnecessary wear on brakes, might not work, risking loss of control / locking wheels.
> just hit kill switch / turn off ignition
Now you're dumping a whole lot of unburned fuel into your exhaust and surroundings, better hope it's not hot enough to ignite that fuel! Bonus points if you manage to stop your bike and light a cig to cool down.
> FWOOSH
>>15269862
690 would probably be a more pactical option for a street tard.
>>15269813
BINGO!
>getcha motor runnin
>>15269865
>But then, you literally said that if you don't have the close cable, you can't shut off the throttle when the opener cable breaks
That's not what I said. If the opener cable breaks the spring on the throttle body/carb will shut it. It's a sticky cable that can make it stay open.
>while willying, so your bike still functions 100% with only 1 tire as well, in the same sense.
No. 99% of people can't do those on one wheel. And anybody who can do that is still much slower than on 2 wheels.
>So it obviously and literally does NOT function at 100% without it, since that is a function of your bike and it's not there anymore.
But it does function 100%. I ride it exactly the same as with 2 cables. I can still open and close the throttle. The throttle even snaps closed faster without the second cable.
>> just brake hard to stall
Unnecessary wear on brakes, might not work, risking loss of control / locking wheels.
I don't have to stall. The fact is the brakes are much more powerful than the engine so I could just use it to calm the acceleration. And the wear would be minimal if my throttle ever did stick open, not that it is likely anyway.
>dumping unburnt fuel into your exhaust will hurt something
I do that all the time. Keybangers yo.
Don't expect any more replies because this obviously isn't going anywhere

>>15269904
> spring and sticky cable
Fair enough.
> 99% can't do
> much slower
Functionality is the same though, even if the quality of its function is reduced.
> can still open and close the throttle
Unless your cable sticks, for one reason or another. Then you're fucked. It's like saying your ABS bike is working 100% when the ABS sensor has given out. You can still ride it just fine, unless you get into circumstances where that functionality would be needed, i.e. braking hard on wet ground in the case of broken ABS, or wanting to decelerate when your throttle is stuck open.
> brakes are much more powerful than the bike
Confirmed for nobike has-only-ridden-a-250-in-his-life shithead with no knowledge of motorbikes.
> calm the acceleration
That still doesn't slow you down when you're about to hit a bumpy corner going 60 faster than you can handle because throttle is stuck open.
> keybangers
Enjoy your blown exhaust and fucked engine. Not that it'll be a big loss when your 125 breaks.

GSXR 750 or DR350, either one I cant seem to do it.
>>15270083
I find the best way is to start off with both feet on the ground, just using the power of the bike to help you lift it onto the back wheel. Once you get a feel for the balance point, it will be much easier to do when your feet are on the pegs.
>>15269474
You can get one behind almost any convenience store that sells milk
>>15269474
Idk about them but my father has always had some he got from behind a grocery store
>>15270096
Bad advice IMO unless you're on a minibike. Most big bikes are geared too tall do do one from a dead stop so you can't really stand still with your legs down and pop the clutch. Also having your feat on the ground means not on the rear brake so you can't really control it if it starts to go over.
>tfw want an 156 wagon
>don't really need a wagon
at least it could haul bikes around and make a comfortable bed, right?
so I could take race Enduro to places and then ride it there

>>15270446
Just ask ur mum cuz i fukt her, fagget!
>>15270446
be sure you have your pedal adjusted properly. If it's adjusted to engage too soon the port from the reservoir to the master cylinder won't open up so it won't get firm. If it's adjusted too low it will feel really soft until it gets to the engagement point.
>>15267769
Buy it at the dealership with a high interest rate with a discount on the bike and gear and shit, make sure there's not penalty for early payoff, then transfer the loan to your local credit union

>>15270923
No, I'm not cc limited.
I come from a CBR250R, so I'm used to a shitty top speed. I'm just looking for something that can commute in pavement and go off-roading, while getting good as mileage.
Only thing I'm worried about is overtaking on the freeway, where most people go 70/75...
>>15270979
Don't take a 250 on the freeway ever unless you want to redline it and get blown around the road the whole time. If you have to do freeway riding, 350cc is an absolute minimum

Not really, but it is still slow as fuck.
>tfw I have every space in that bingo chart filled in
>>15271082
>XT250
If you want a lightweight 250 enduro the WR250R is an amazing bike. Fuel injected, 6 gears, you can legitimately take it on the highway (for a bit). It performs better than the 650cc thumpers people usually get out west.
If you live on the east coast and deal with nothing but 55mph/ 65mph roads, the XT250 is fine.
>>15271110
how do you have both two cylinder and one?
>>15271129
It's 2 valves per cylinder
>>15271129
ayy 2 VALVE per cylinder gringo
>>15271082
Main problem with a 250cc bike is that cars, trucks will out-accelerate you and attempt dangerous overtaking maneuvers. Cruising around town in a lightweight, all-purpose economical enduro bike sounds great until you are forever tailgated and overtaken by stancebros and teenagers driving their mom's minivan.
At least in the USA. Practicalities in the US different wildly than in the rest of the world.
>>15271110

does the SFV650 Gladius feel fairly similar to the SV650 to throw a leg over? I'm having trouble finding an SV650 at a local dealership so I don't have to pester someone on craigslist to feel

>>15270446
trash, 90% of the time they don't fucking work. Just do it by hand I've literally bleed hundreds of cars and a few bikes this way.
toss everything but the flexi-lines.
-close bleeder put the flexi-line on the nipple on the bleeder, tuck it somewhere that it can make it a mess
-slowly pump pedal or squeeze lever several times
-hold down pedal or hold in the lever
-crack open bleeder
-fully close bleeder
-release pedal or lever
-let it sit a few seconds then push or squeeze and test
repeat until done, shouldn't take more than three

hey /dbt/ yurocuck here.
I'm interested in learning to ride/getting a bike, but I'm afraid to dive right into it because I might not like it. I don't know anyone who rides. How can I get a feel for riding, before commiting?

To drive a bike here we need to either be over 24 witha driver license, then we can drive up to 125cc, or take a full license (16 practical classes 32 theoretical, 2 exams. I think) So signing up, dropping the dough to the figure out it's not for me would cost a penny. Yes, the school do provide bikes, but i'm not sure they'll just let you try, or take you out to give you a feel. I could try asking tho
>>15271270
sounds like your better off trying to find an anon to do you a solid
>>15271260
But
>>15271270
I'd go with the school anyways. You'll enjoy it, and you'll be safer learning from a school and experienced riders than having someone teach you or learning on your own.
I cleaned up my wiring some today. It's still kind of a cluster, but at least now it's all bound together and uses proper connectors. I didn't have any available plugs for my speedometer though. What do?

By now I don't see any point in posting it. Everyone has had their laugh, and seen all the same pics. Here you go though. (Still can't put on the fairings because the regulator is fuckt)
>>15271370
Oh I've seen it.
picked up a new trackbike today
took it for a spin - handles like garbage. is this common for gsxr's? no meme intended. felt like i had to throw it into a corner to get it to turn.
i'm going to pull apart the forks and see what they look like.
>>15271377
Exactly. So what's the point?
Well, went for a 3hr ride on my cbr250r in 100deg F heat. About a 45min of that was spend going <30 on rough as fuck caliche roads. My boxers are soaked with sweat, my bike is white with dirt, and my legs are tired as shit from peg standing over washboarding. You off-road riders are fucking nifty for the shit you go over. I think my next bike is going to be a dual-sport, assuming I ever sell my little thai bitch.
>>15271378
Uh cause you bough a 10 year old bike? Also, why would you buy it with out giving it a test ride first?
Especially considering you can buy a salvage/no title new gen 600/1000 for like 2-3k
>>15270998
Those people are idiots and I'm sure they're redlining it the entire way, unless you have freeways that max out at 50mph
>>15271389
long stints in the sport position are tough, but you build the groin muscles to support yourself pretty quick
look into vented gear
squats and oats faggot
POS fender eliminator kit the previous owner put on makes my plate hit the tire.
>>15271387
Nothing, I just like laughing at you.
>>15271393
you're making an awful lot of assumptions in a single post friend.
>>15271408
I think this I where it hit

Yeah, I'm looking at a pair of mesh overpants right now, my current ones are 3 season cool waterproof pants.

>>15271454
about normal for what you can find on craigslist assuming its in good working order.
This your first bike?
>>15271454
Meh could be better could be worse.
Have a Blast!!!
>>15271468
Yes this is my first bike, got my license last weekend
>>15271454
Forgot to mention it has less than 8k on the odometer
Bike sounds like its running out of petrol at 5k rpm but is fine before and after? What could this be
Its an mc22
>>15271461
why
>>15271471
Yeah, people are going to give you shit here because its a Blast. Erik Buell hated the thing and its build off of half a Harley engine.
>>15271415
Look at the bike, its clearly 10+ years old
Also, he picked it up then learned it handled like shit so clearly he didn't test ride before buying
The last part of my post is not an assumption it's a fact
>>15271481
Carb troubles.
I successfully purged my rear brakes and installed my banjo bolt switch!
>>15271540
good job. I have one on my rear brake as well. I should eventually get one for my front brake too, but I need to sort out the mushiness first. I might try putting on that Nissin master I have laying around to see if it helps. It's larger diameter though so it might make it a bit weaker.
My right side indicator burns out it's bulb in less than a week, any ideas what might be causing the problem?
>>15271378
a light touch and it wants to turn so badly thats how I know gixxers
>>15271566
did you check the blinker fluid? when did you change it?
Bought a used gs500f today, now I only need to save another few hundred to insure the thing and replace a few parts...
>>15271575
I make sure to pressurize the blinker fluid every time I tighten the tire bolts
>>15271566
exhaust flowing onto it?
>>15271558
I see. Front one works fine though, so I'll leave that alone.

any excessive vibrations in that area to cause it to shake to death?
>>15271594

>>15271454
Should have bought a GS500.
>>15271481
Suck jimmies dick and his 8roper facial will tell you the answer.
>>15271600
$2000, came with a jacket, gloves and pants too. Only problem is the sprockets/chain needs to be replaced and needs new back tire, other than that it got only got 7500km on it.
>>15271618
You did good. Drop a tooth on the front sprocket when you replace them.
>>15271618
Why would the chain and sprockets need replacing after 7500km?
WR450 getting some carb love this weekend.
Honda voodoo to fix the Yamaha.

why the hell don't things like this show up when I have money to spare?
>>15271641
Honda AP diaphragm?
>>15270083
do or do not, there is no try.
If you try popping the clutch 2-3 times then give up because it's not happening then you'll never do it.
You need to set aside an area for an hour or so and not stop until you've got that shit popping, on the DR350 would be easiest I suppose but contrary to what /dbt/ will say you can learn "how to wheelie" (not necessarily be amazing but learn it) without wrecking your bike if you take it slow so you could do it on the gsx-r too.
>>15271635
Chain was tightened to fuck
>>15271603
No, it's rubber mounted. Funnily enough, today my right rear indicator would randomly get stuck on without me doing anything
>>15271694
and the thing is repeatedly burning out quickly or just once?
>>15271584
Does the DRZ/KLX come with a lockable gas tank stock?

Get on my level fagets
>>15271718
S/SM street legal models do. I don't think the off-road models do. I'd be content without the lock honestly. I highly doubt someone is going to steal gas from my 2.6gal tank.

What is this picture? I don't even.
>>15271764
"no"
>>15271649
Yes, apparently it's THE fix.
Currently I can't adjust the AP timing soon enough, push rod is too short...
>>15271783
oh yeah, he's gone. He disappeared about a week ago.
>>15271791
how hard is it to care for a kitten.. fucking manchild.
>>15271785
so it bogs when you whack the throttle open?
Does the o ring mod help it squirt sooner or does it just make it a shorter squirt? I've heard of people swapping the honda squirter or modding the original ones to get the AP to work correctly. Luckily mine doesn't bog so I haven't had to do anything to it.
Although my bike is orange, it uses the same carb.
>>15271737
Thanks for the info of tanks.
>>15271801
They're not really mine or anything. A feral cat just had kittens in my barn so I go down there and play with them and shit. They're not domesticated and I'm not letting them into my house.
What rear tire would you guys recommend for an 08 gs500 anyways? Keep in mind I'm a poorfag.
>>15271791
Prolly coyotes. maybe an owl.
>>15271841
or maybe dogs.
>>15271804
Yes, it bogs because the squirt isn't soon enough, it's fully advanced and starts too late still.
I bought the Tokyo Mods AP linkage spring, should help the squirt instead of replacing an O-Ring every few months, or wiring it and making the duration too short.
>>15271755
Good buy for syrup dollars.
An easy mod is to move the eclip on the main jet needle, down one space. Helps fatten it up a bit.
>>15271838
Depends on what you want out of a tyre.
Michelin Pilot Streets are cheap, last for ages and are good in the wet but they suck when you push them in corners.
>>15271921
Seems to be what I'm looking for, I don't see myself pushing it too far in the corners desu
>>15271831
Then domesticate them
>>15271956
They're a good commuter tyre, I'd recommend them for that. I found them to be not particularly grippy though, like they don't ever "come up to temperature" like other tyres do. Once they get really hot they start to feel greasy and not very confidence inspiring, but under normal riding conditions you shouldn't encounter that.
Got my dads 91' honda hawk gt. How hyped should i be? Already pretty hyped for a free bike. file is too big and im on mobile
Bike cranks and backfires but doesn't turn over.
Wat do?

Are you in Denver?
Got my MSF class Sat/Sun, got my endorsement monday, bought my first bike today /dbt/
06 SV650S for $2800, 21956 miles. I feel like I got a good deal regardless of what some anons may say. Left fork seal is leaking slightly and some cosmetic damage due to being dropped, but I just got back from riding it the first time and I'm in love.

Old photos, its dark out and im lazzy

>>15272189
nice, I just got my license last weekend and going to go take a look at an SV650 this weekend. All of my friends with more experience are out of town though so I may just have to settle for sitting on the bike and not test riding it until the following weekend.
>>15272218
yea I got mine for $3200 so wasnt too bad
>>15272205
Thanks buddy, I'm a little concerned about mpg. its only getting around 45-50ish in town, once it died at 30 miles on the odometer but only took .5 gallons, it normaly takes about 1 when i need to swap it to the reserve,
>>15272254
That sounds like you need to clean the carbs not than anything. You should only have a gallon left out less when you need to switch to reserve
>>15272244
Hope you enjoy it m8
>>15272264
Thanks man i was stressing out about it, thinking i fucked up my childhood and my fathers old bike
Any aussies have/had a non LAMS bike on their Ps and didnt get caught?
>>15272308
Ur mum caught my dick, fagget!!
If an american were to have their full license here, and them move to Germany or one of the other nanny countries, would he have to go through the licensing restrictions bullshit or could he just transfer his american license to a full license there?
>>15269813
Can /o/ guess?
>>15272197
There are a few for sale, which one did you get? Are you the same guy who was looking at sv650's?
>>15272308
It's not worth it, when they run the plate through their computer it'll say non-LAMS approved like it does on your rego papers.
Cops might be dumb, but they're not stupid.
>>15272120
Anyone interested in seeing the cleaned carbs?
>>15272367

>>15272390
No
>>15272395
No
>>15272398
Got really close, smaller engine, think enduro. The largest displacement model of my bikes line has many parts the swap with the YZ490.
>>15272425
WR400?
>>15272368
dont know if I was the same guy but it was a bike I was interested in
>>15272416
They can see that you're on a restricted license on the computer when they run your plate though.
Also riding a non-LAMS bike on your L's/P's is classed as riding unlicensed which means if you crash and get caught you will get absolutely reamed by the police and your insurance will probably be null and void too.
>>15272425
Here you go anons.

What does /o/ think of Scooters?
>>15272478
This isnt the thread for that
>>15272466
The biggest IT model was the 490, which is why I mentioned the parts compatibility between it and the YZ490. A common fork swap in the past to all IT models was YZ forks of the same era, typically from a YZ of comparable engine side to the bike that's getting the forks.
IT200 is a loose whore, she goes and goes and then goes some more. 2 stroke, street legal, enduro bike.
26hp/15tq, 9k rpm safe, 2stroke 200cc, basic enduro bike. Popular for harescrambles. I use it as a short commuter on street(less than 10 miles one way), and I rag on it in the desert. She's never let me down.
I got it for free, I knew it had sat for 10 years, I changed the oil, plug, and fuel. It started first kick.
Here is a restored one, for /dbt/s porn collection.
>>15272485
you didn't check the box for conventional forks
>>15272472
Bad things, Anon.
Go read up on what happens when you're at fault in an accident and you have no licence.
>>15272478
Alright for what they are, but I like changing my own gears and being able to hold onto the bike with my legs.
There are bikes with internal storage nowaydays so I don't see the point in owning a scooter when there are more appealing options available.
Also Italjet Dragster 180 best scooter

For an upside down fork the larger diameter portion of the fork tube is at the wheel and the smaller diameter portion of the fork tube is by the steering head right?
If that's the case I have upside forks.
