How long should I wait after I bought my bike before I should start fucking around with MAWDZ?

If it comes with shit suspension change it immediately.

When it stops suiting your needs.
who are the most hated anons on dbt?
>>15306698
Not him, but is suspension easy to fuckup?
My bike is fairly known to have a very plush one, but the previous owner has fucked about with it
>>15306712
If it's adjustable it needs to be changed for the rider. If you are a drastically different weight to the last owner then it may need to be resprung, revalved.

Why do naked bikes never have the same horsepower as the sport bikes they share engines with? For dual sports it makes sense because MX bikes need constant maintenance, but sport bikes keep working forever.
>>15307259
less space
so smaller airbox
so less power
>>15307259
It's annoying but I'm pretty sure its from the general consensus that those of us who prefer the naked and more "comfort oriented" riding positions don't want such a race oriented engine either. Most commonly the motors are just tuned differently in a way they have more low/mid-range and less high range.
My bking though was only down about 10hp from the 08 busa it shared the motor with and that was just from an exhaust/intake difference iirc.
>>15307259
same reason they tend to have handlebars and not clipons, etc.

Got it off google images, so blame whoever uploaded it. Also holy autism batman, are you a living FZ6 encyclopedia?
>>15307259
It's not about horsepower only anon.
Most old 600 i4s have very little pull in low revs, yet they go fucking bananas in high revs.
I was actually pretty skeptical about the whole "hurr durr usable tork" thing until I actually got an i4 sportsbike.
track oriented engine setups are not very practical for road and city usage. The bike doesn't respond very well in low revs, if you're cruising on 4k revs on sixth gear and want to do a quick overtake, you'd have to drop 2 gears and gun it.
On a twin or something with more torque you could just gun it from your current gear and pass.
The whole retuning thing isn't "they're make the engine more lame" but they're actually making it usable for a different purpose that is not the track (high revs all the time)

Is it just front fairing damages? Worst case you could either buy a new one or just get that one welded back together.
I got the side fairings on my MV plastic welded by my body guy and they look brand new now aside from the marks on the inside.

i3 a great.
>>15307318
Yup. Well said anon. Having torque more available at a greater range of RPMs trumps any sport bike tuned for a track. It even makes it "feel" for powerful in a convuluted sort of way.
/DBT/ thoughts on Akrapovic slip-on for a 2009 GSX-R 750. I'm torn right now between the titanium and the carbon. I love the look of carbon, but I do t know if it blends as well with my color scheme.

I'm getting a £10k bonus in a couple of months. Should I pay off the remaining balance on my current bike (£5k) or buy a used supersports cash in hand?
>>15307586
Just google it, bretty good beginner bike.
This one is mine
>>15307899
> financing toys
Silly man.
Buy a used supersport cash, spend the rest on really nice gear and some track days.
I'm trying to wrap my head around countersteering. I'm watching videos of actual traffic driving and at absolutely no point can I detect the front wheel being turned in the direction opposite the turn direction.
Say this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF1ezf8LNNU
Someone on /dbt/ told me that if i ever took a corner at more than 10mph I was already countersteering subconsciously but I'm beginning to doubt I ever did that, perhaps I've really always decelerated down to 10mph? Or is the actual handlebar pressure really so subtle as to be invisible on video other than slow-mo motogp?
>>15307915
I wouldn't finance a supersports. My current bike is an adventure bike that I use as a commuter tourer. I'm just not sure whether to get completely debt free and put off buying a supersports or get one as soon as my bonus arrives.
I'm also not sure which to get (whenever that is) in terms of preferences, I really like how the Fireblade handles but much prefer the ergonomics of the S1000RR. However, I don't think I could find a good example of the BMW for £10k.
>>15307921
>Pretend you're on your bike (put your arms out in front of you
>Pretend you're leaning into a corner
>Note that your lower arm is now further forwards
Countersteering is very subtle.
>>15307888
It's dark magic, eresy banned eons ago.
>>15307940
Kek
Well i have coil packs so fuck it.
>>15307936
Is it more like "you lean left, what your hands do on their own is countersteering unless you violently force them to turn the handlebars in the direction of the turn" instead of "you know how you turn right by turning your handlebars right at low speed? well at high speed it's the opposite because of magic" ?
>>15307921
>Or is the actual handlebar pressure really so subtle as to be invisible on video other than slow-mo motogp?
That, and unless you're turning really hard (small radius, large angle, high speed) you'll turn the handlebars back into the direction you want to go once you've induced lean by counter steering.
Find a large open area or go on a highway. Somewhere where you'll generally go straight, but can veer off to the right or left a bit without putting yourself into danger. Accelerate to ~60 mph. Try to take ALL weight off your wrists (so you're holding the handlebar as lightly as possible), maybe even letting go with one hand. Look to the right (because if you look straight or even left, you will subconsciously try to fight the bike leaning to the right), consciously push the right handle forward CAREFULLY. The bike will try to go right.
>>15307888
>The minute the distrubutor looses contact (opens) it sparks? Duh fuq?
It's quite simple, the battery supplies DC but the coil only outputs a (high) voltage as a result of a change in voltage. When the contact is initially made, the rise in voltage is too slow to trigger a spark but the sudden drop when contact is lost is fast enough.

Should I get a speed triple /o/?
That or a dual sport, I can't decide.
sup /dbt/, crashed for the first time this afternoon..
Thankfully I just hit a patch of oil or mud or something slippy at relatively low speed in a corner.
I'm fine and so is most of the bike, but the front wheel is now misaligned (I think).
Basically, if the bike goes straight, the handlebars are slightly to the left.
Tried to take a pic of the problem, but it's really just a minimal offset. Maybe 2 degrees.

Did that today...

It depends what you want, if you want the perfect all rounder that drops into corners smoothly and whisks you along at a modest speed the 800 is absolutely ideal. If you're a speed freak with the back of a 50 year old and the mentality of a 9 year old, the 1200 is tremendous. It's like comparing a Lotus to a Mustang, they each have their place.

Why is it in a cage, is it evil?
>>15308121
>That's perfectly centralised V4 weight.
it's too much centralised V4 weight
tuono and rsv4 are better in my opinion

that surface looks like shit
>>15308176
>tuono and rsv4 are better in my opinion
I wouldn't even attempt to compare the two (three?) since they handle very differently.
>>15308082
>Basically, if the bike goes straight, the handlebars are slightly to the left.
try this:
leave the lower triple claps like they are and open the upper triple clamps on both sides. jerk the front a bit and they should in theory be aligned again. Tighten the upper triple clamps again
Look up the torque for the screws.
Probably something around 15Nm to 30Nm if it is a USD fork. Might be higher if it is a conventional fork
BTW on a unrrelated note, why am I always banned for "Proxy/VPN exit node." what is this even?
>>15308176
Hey mate if I take a week-long vacation can I crash at your place for like 10€ / night and you show me nice roads?
>>15308082
pls help.
I just recently became hasbike.
google tells me something about "relaxing the forks", could that be it?
>>15308094
tldr? Fuck that guy
>>15308193
yepp, look here >>15308190
>>15308190
This is how the book tells you to do it.
>>15308082
Remember when your bicycle handlebars got out of alignment with the wheel, and you hit the wheel on a wall twisting the bars, realigning everything?
Try that, might help. If that doesn't work, do what anon described.
If what anon described doesn't help, your clamps probably twisted. Also check your handlebars carefully, they usually bend easily too.

Bananapete you lil nigga, you are finally back

hey /dbt/, I'm thinking of buying a high mileage bike for super cheap.
>70,000km
>guy is asking $800
Am I making a horrible mistake?
'81 Honda CB750 if that makes a difference.
>>15308253
can you do basic maintenace?
will it be your first bike?
are you willing to spend more money on it?

It's at 5:30 in the video
>tldr
>retard not paying attention
>hits a rider blocking traffic for 600 bikes at 60-80mph
>mouth breather Chase has a moment of clarity enough to call the retard for what he is
>filler
>also a gofundme for the guy who got hit
>>15307365
or you could just downshift like any rider should know how to do
>>15308214
>Also check your handlebars carefully
The handlebars seem fine, the length of my grip that I had on the left side is added on the right so that should be okay.
I'll try your method first tomorrow, then >>15308190
this if it doesn't work.
What do you mean by "jerk the front a bit", up and down or side to side? Or just generally shaking it about?
Do I need to lift the bike for this?
I am so happy this thread exists.
>>15308258
>can you do basic maintenace?
No experience with it, but I intend to do it all myself and learn as I go.
>will it be your first bike?
Yes, I took the MSF already and have all my gear though.
>are you willing to spend more money on it?
I'm on a pretty tight budget, and most of what's available in this ballpark isn't running.
>>15308265
Fucking christ, poor guy who got hit.
>almost loosing you leg because some squid is too busy looking for his squid friends
>>15306936
Remember to report this fag for breaking GR8.
>>15308293
i'd look for a working and more beginner friendly bike 2bh, but I ahve no clue about these bikes anyways so don't take my word for anythin
>>15308269
>What do you mean by "jerk the front a bit", up and down or side to side? Or just generally shaking it about?
left to right a bit, not to much or it might be in the other way. You can also combine unscrewing the triple clamp and this >>15308214 But once again, dont over do it or it will be wrong in the other position
>Do I need to lift the bike for this?
no, the bike will be held by the lower tripple clamps alone
>>15308238
>when ya bringin the motocage back in for a service?
the back/blue MT was in service a few weeks ago. The Red had the 10000km service done last year.
Rigth now my parents do a holiday trip with the two MT07s
