Gonna check fluid cables and pads tomorrow, was kinda scary when I realized cause I was on the high way.

If I can get a WR450R Sumoed vs a DRZ400SM, the WR450R seems like the more fun bike, but is it don't I have to do more maintenance on it than the DRZ?

Also, will it be roughly the same seat height (35 in) after the street wheels and everything are on the WR?

Have fun with your smooth car engine in your bike.

If a flat twin is too wide for you, you might consider taking lessons.

I'll have fun with my smooth motorcycle engine in my motorcycle.
Welcome to 2016 bro. it's not the 1930's and we don't have to deal with shit tier engine designs out of necessity anymore.

>If a flat twin is too wide for you, you might consider taking lessons.
Nice, trying to blame the rider for the shortcomings of an engine design instead of accepting the limitations and drawbacks of said design.

>>14176283
Boxer engines are shit

>>14176246
No they're not. They are fucking miserable. Bugs, wind, rain, cold, heat...wiping your ass with leaves...no, they are not all fun and games.
Unless you go with own convey of film crew with trucks supplies and guns for hire.

>>14176370
>it's not the 1930's and we don't have to deal with shit tier engine designs out of necessity anymore.
Then why do you use a car engine in your bike?

>>14176375
No way. They are torque monsters! TORQUE MONSTERS

>>14176381
That's just all part of the adventure. Of course it's gonna be shitty as fuck at some points. But that's when you just have to continue an see and experience the amazing things the world has to offer.
Then when you're done you're going to look back at what a wonderful time you had.

>>14176383
You seem confused. The reason things like Vtwins and thumpers were used originally in bikes is because technology was so shit it was literally impossible to practically fit a better engine design.

We are not held back by those limitations anymore.

And flat motors in motorcycles are just shit all around. Heavy, wide, complicated, space/material inefficient, etc.

There is nothing good or appealing about your mile wide or piece of shit rattle trap "motorcycle engines" over a modern smooth 3+ cylinder motorcycle engine.

Hell, a valid argument would be to try to argue in favor of the parallel twin, the only sub 3 cylinder engine design that actually makes sense. But you're not smart enough to make that argument.

>>14176390
So it's like boot camp.

>>14176394
>here is nothing good or appealing about your mile wide or piece of shit
I see you never service your bike yourself.

>>14176388
>implying you can't make a parallel twin, inline 3, inline 4, V3, V4, or V5 engine make gobs of torque with correct cam/head design and bore/stroke ratio.

Protip: cylinder orientation does not dictate torque output. Only power pulse pattern, and a parallel twin can have the same power pulse pattern and same torque in a more compact form factor.

>>14176401
I see you never service MY bike

>>14176403
Let me guess, it require taking off a lot of shit before you can check your valves

>>14176401
I actually do.
It's very seldom you need access to the heads. When you do (say every 24,000 miles for a valve lash check) it's trivial to undo the four bolts holding the tank and remove the airbox/throttle body assembly.

>>14176402
>Only power pulse pattern, and a parallel twin can have the same power pulse pattern and same torque in a more compact form factor.
GTFO Poindexter. No body cares about cylinder orientation and your feels about it.
They are TORQUE MONSTERS.

>>14176404
If by "a bunch of shit" you mean 3-4 bolts for the tank and then the airbox. Sure.

Trivial amount of work that only has to be done every 24,000 miles or so.

Completely not worth it to deal with all the downsides of a full retard engine design for something you rarely have to do. Your argument doesn't hold up.

This is the worst dbt in weeks.

>>14176476
Thanks m8, it was my pleasure.

nobike here, should I buy used or new?

Plus I love my V-Strom's hybrid chain/gear camshaft drive. Makes valve adjustment stress free. Not that full chain drive is much worse but there is way less to fuck up

noob nobiker.

I'm worried about transferring money to private dealer and someone ripping me off.

>>14176508
Take the bike to a certified independent mechanic for an inspection and only deal in cash.

>>14176508
Buy used, the chance of you crashing/dropping it are very high.

What type of bike are you looking at?

>>14176508
>find bike you want
>go look at said bike
>if you want said bike tell owner that you'd like it inspected by a mechanic of your choosing
>find motorcycle mechanic and have him take a look at it
>if everything checks out and you see the title, negotiate the price
>get a cashiers check for the agreed upon amount.
>stop being a fucking autist that is afraid of standard human interaction.

>>14176495
>hybrid chain/gear camshaft drive

What is that?

>>14176520
>>14176523

I can only get a loan unfortunately, don't have cash on hand

>>14176522
Dual sport

What do you recommend?

>>14176524
not a stretch to assume it's a gear interface between the two camshafts that is driven by a chain/sprocket. Instead of a chain/sprockets driving both cams.

>>14176528
all single cyl:
everything 650 for fire roads and longer rides
250 for city commuting with light trails (not highway good)
450 for serious trails and hooning fun, higher maintenance but also shitloads of power.

>>14176528
Don't finance a toy imo, especially if it's your first bike.

What if you have it for a month then write it off? You're stuck paying off a loan for something you can't even ride.

Not to mention you'll probably have to get full coverage insurance on whatever bike you end up with a part of the terms and conditions of the loan, which could be expensive. Like three grand a year (or more) expensive.

Tl;dr if you can't afford a bike outright you probably can't afford to ride.

yo /dbt/ what would be a good price for a used sporster between 1990-96
the bike i'm looking at is a 94 883 they want 2200 and its from a dealership how could i get them talked down from the asking price?

>>14176528
>I can only get a loan unfortunately, don't have cash on hand

Sorry to say anon, but it's GS500 time.

>>14176483
Used cbr250r abs, now fuck off until you hasbike

>>14176546
>spending money on an unreliable oil pissing piece of shit
>ever

Been thinking a lot about the physics behind riding, what's the importance of front to rear weight transfer during cornering?

I would have posted the pic, but well you know why.

You can see in this pic that the exhaust camshaft has been removed, but the intake is still in place. See the camshafts are gear driven but only to one gear then that gear is driven by the "cam chain".

Makes removal of camshafts for shim replacement stress free as you don't have to worry about keeping the chain tight since it only drives the gear which then drives the camshafts.

>>14176574
but i like it
ok fine faggot what about a shadow right now i have a maxim 400 but i want a v-twin is 1000 to much for a used shadow 85-90

>>14176588
Get a DL1000 so we can make it a meme bike.
There are a few stromanons now.

>>14176595
eh
i don't like it beside i'm a cruiserfag i'm not really into dualsporst i don't really go off roading much
although i wouldn't mind a dualsport later on

>>14176586
jeez doesn't that just add another point of failure... why have both surely the gear is the more reliable one

>>14176595
The Shadow will run forever.

You'll never stop dumping money into a Harley trying to get it running right or to stop leaking.

Motopede?

>>14176609
>jeez doesn't that just add another point of failure

It is a proven design. Plenty of those 1000cc vtwins have done over 400k miles.

>>14176605
Is more of a tourer than a dualsport anyway, and a damn sight faster than an 883 Sportster too.

>>14176611
meant for:
>>14176588

Also, forget the Shadow. If you're going for 80's bikes be a man and get a V65 Magna or Sabre.

>>14176613
sure, but with chain maintenance

i wouldn't go so far as to attribute long engine life to this one design choice btw

>>14176611
i know alot of people where i live has the vt700 and vt1100 they seem to like them
>>14176615 eh i mean i not really lookint to get another 80's bike but if its within my price range how is the magna? i like it but i'm kinda a pussy right now and just trying to go up in the cc's over time

>>14176595
>no bash plate
lel

>>14176629
The V65 was a pretty scary fast bike for the time. Still respectable in straight line performance, can keep up with modern 600 supersports. Will power willie in 2nd which is pretty impressive for such a large/heavy bike.

The V45 is more manageable and still pretty quick.

Both motors are pretty bulletproof other than some oiling issues, no big deal if you take care of it. One of the smoothest running motors ever. Also shaft drive cuts out a ton of maintenance.

>>14176629
>>14176635

If you're into those sort of 80's cruiser/muscle bikes the V-Max is another good option and an awesome bike.

>>14176635
what if i buy cheap like sporster,shadow,Magna see witch one i like best and sell the rest?
>>14176641
like i said i mean i alredy have a 82 maxim i looking to get newish but if its in my price range then i'll just have to deal with it

>>14176631
Who needs a bash plate? It really is a sports tourer bike despite what others say.

>>14176646
>what if i buy cheap like sporster,shadow,Magna see witch one i like best and sell the rest?
If you've got the money to blow, I guess you could do that.
Or you could go check out the bikes one mby one, give the owners cash in hand for a test ride, then ride them all without buying and seeing which you like.

>like i said i mean i alredy have a 82 maxim i looking to get newish but if its in my price range then i'll just have to deal with it
I mean, Harleys are piles of shit, but buy whatever you want that you can afford. I don't know your budget or financial situation.

Just know, you'll be constantly dumping money into a Harley to keep it on the road and you'll constantly be chasing oil/transmission leaks.

>>14176646
Stop being a fag and just buy a Busa.

>>14176653
i don't have cash to blow it's more dreams for the time being but i mean i'm hoping i'll be able to before i get my license
>>14176658
if i get a sporstbike i'll look at the cbs or some shit

>>14176585
watch twist of the wrist mate.
Weight transfer is hugely important in a corner, mostly to load/unload suspension

>>14176668
>Weight transfer is hugely important
tell tht 2 ur mum mate shes rite plump for the pound cunt

>>14176541
Is an R model 650 worthwhile?

(I mean like the XR650s and the older 650 ktms and yammies and teh like)

>>14176542
Seriously? 3 grand a year on a 5 grand bike???

>>14176552
I mainly want a bike with some offroad capability !

Sup /dbt/
So I just changed a turn indicator and the spark plug and now the headlight flickers when turning the bike on
Once it's running everything works fine

>>14176673
>I mainly want a bike with some offroad capability !

GS500 Overlander

>>14176687
Only when you hit the starter tho right?

>>14176691
Yeah

>>14176673
>ktms
kek

yes, KLR 650, DR 650 and such are gud.

>>14176692
Did you never notice that it cut the headlight when starting before?

Most bikes have a relay that cuts the power to the lights when the starter is pushed.

>>14176695
No it happened for the first time after changing that stuff

>>14176673
It varies by bike and other factors, obviously.

Get some quotes and work out whether you can afford it or not.

>>14176693
dude, those 2nd hand go for the price of a new DS

>>14176697
What bike

>>14176700
MZ 125 SX

>>14176699
what 2nd hand

>>14176703
my sides

>>14176704
2nd hand DR650s, KLR650s, DRZ400Es

>>14176703
meh, well now you have a headlight relay mod somehow so it doesn't draw so much current when starting. Can help make a battery last an extra year, as while its dieing it doesn't need to supply so much power to run lights and starter.

>>14176711
well then buy a new one lel

>>14176725
That's cool then I guess
Maybe it draws less current because of the new spark plug?
The old one was in pretty shitty condition
>>14176704
One day I'll get a non-shitbike and I'll show you, /dbt/

>>14176711
I see plenty of those bikes for 4k and less.

Even ones that have already been fully modified for proper adv riding.

>>14176747

>>14176747
W
>>14176747

>>14176745
So it only flickers when the starter button os pushed and then after that it stay on perfecrly fine, even while riding on bumpy shit.

>>14176753
I've only ridden on proper roads today,but yeah I haven't noticed anything weird while riding

>>14175343
What's the aftermath?
