>>15330215
What's in that ketchup bottle?
>>15330253
pickle relish or pico de gallo more than likely, maybe salsa verde
>>15330253
probably ketchup
>>15330248
look at those colors, clearly you timewarped on the way there
Hey /o/, don't come here too much anymore but in need of some advice. My ignition switch on my bike is fucked, I can't turn it off, I can kill the engine but not cut off any electrical. The closest thing to that is leaving my bike with the parking lights on. Any time I turn the key to the OFF position, it spins right past it and the whole cylinder rotates.
Anyone else had this problem? Is it just the ignition switch?
Bike is a 2007 zx6r btw

Newfaggot here.
I have at least one year before I can get my own bike but I was wondering what you guys would recommend most for a newbie between a dual sport or a basic roadster.
The use would be mainly for going to work and maybe some country roads occasionally. Is it only a matter of going off road or not?
Also the Yamaha FZ series caught my eye something fierce, does /dbt/ like it?
>>15330509
First time riding or have you been riding for a while?

Never did.
Taking my theoretical test in a month then starting the closed circuit courses.
It's fucking pathetic but what got me interested is riding one of those shitty electric scooters my grandma bought.
>>15330570
Different poster, but there's a DRZ-400 for sale that I'm thinking of buying as first bike. Is that too under powered for roads? Or would that one be okay for basic commuting?
Rode anyway despite the heat/humidity, wasn't as bad as I thought it'd be
>>15330593
the DR-Z is a good bike. literally the to go bike for everything. plenty of tuning and tips/tricks avaivable on the web.
if it's decently priced and well taken care of, then you should get it.
Just bought my first bike 3 days ago! what do you guys think?
>>15330607
Thanks. I'll see about taking it for a test ride later this week.
>>15330621
When you'll inevitably die will you please send 1,5k to Rick Miller in Seymour
>>15330631
i couldve started on an fz-09 for sure, but 07 was probably appropriate
>>15330593
I love mine. I can cruise at 70mph no problems. I don't think I'd be as happy with any other bike. It does a whole lot.
>>15330621
I hope you got some crashbars for it
>>15330646
thats a negative, im going to purchase sliders is all
>>15330646
>>15330649
are crashbars really necessary? I feel like thats excessive, but what do i know
I'm trying to understand some stuff while I wait on paperwork to go through so I can finally ride the goddamn bike I paid for and is now waiting in front of the house.
a: on a bike you do steer with the handlebars - as long as you're slow enough. Example: cone course at license exam, first gear.
b: at higher speeds, you steer to some degree by leaning, but only after the turn is initiated by countersteering
c: countersteering in everyday life outside the track is a subtle and short process, where you do the namesake action (pressing the handlebar in the counterintuitive direction) only very briefly, before returning the handlebars to neutral direction or direction of the turn, at which point it's the leaning that directs the motorcycle in the desired direction.
Is this correct so far?
>>15330668
Ni
Even if you don't know it you're always countersteering...
But it's mostly instinctive and thinking about it will just confuse you
>>15330661
It can safe you more damages when you drop/crash it

as far as functional mods go to add to the bike and to prevent damage, what do you think is worth it? sliders over cages, other way around?
Just got back from Assen, took some pictures.
I want a custom sidecar so I can live in it.
>>15330742
I prefer the big bars (or cages)
But that might be because I have a bike with the engine sticking out.
>>15330753

The FZ series may be fine starter bikes, I know a bunch of people who started on them and they're still alive.
They are, however, extreme memes and I find the 07 harder to ride than other bikes in the 650 twin class

The only other BMW option in my price range would be one of the newer F650s, and i'm not really into another 50hp bike again
>v-strom
i've actually been looking at 2nd gen SV650s, because they cost as much as I paid for the bimmer, but have 25 hp more power, and are fuel injected with roughly the same kms
>>15331097

I have overpants that I wear, but I don't like wearing them because they're inconvenient, a pain in the ass to put on, and they're hot as balls in the SE Texas summer.
As much as I'm trying to be ATGATT, is it ok to just skip the overpants and trust in my jeans?

Why not get someone to make you a leather overall that you can both get into? LIke pic related, but leather and behind eachother instead of shoulder to shoulder. That way you can feel her flat chest on your back without having to go NATGATT, and she'll actually be useful as a back protector.
>>15331190
You're clinically retarded if you think jeans hold up at all, you just got lucky. It is literally tested and proven that jeans don't do fucking shit, you'd have to be absolutely stupid to even unironically believe they do. Just get kevlar jeans or take the risk.

It is. Custom build currently in development by African Queens.
I've got an analogue fuel gauge. At random times it just goes all the way to E, stays there for a minute, and then comes back to the appropriate level.
I can't find info on what the cause of the problem could be (wire is connected properly). Any usual suspects?
>>15331570
Potentiometer is fucked.
Sometimes when I'm shifting and I flick my wrist to let off the throttle, I feel the stopping point move back a little bit. It's like I flick too hard and the stopping point moves. Is this normal?

Been riding a 2001 SV650 for the past 3 years, and want to get into a sport bike. Rode a 2010 GSX-R 600, and it was ultra-uncomfortable. Hip flexors cramped up 1 block down the road. Rode an R6 and found that much more comfortable.
I've also been watching videos regarding the S1000RR, and I think I'm in love. Would like to ride one. Talk me out of it, or talk me into it.

I'm fucking loving my FCR. Bike runs perfect, has great throttle response, and is super smooth even off idle. Much better than the mikuni BSR. I just wish they weren't so expensive so I could slap one on my DRZ too.
Try to go up a size on the pilot jet and see if that helps with the hanging idle.
