that's not nearly being ran off the road, that's a normal day in the life of a motorcyclists, you shouldn't be in any situation where they're able to cut you off and have it cause you any distress, don't be next to them, if you aren't next to them, they pull out, you slow down a bit it ain't no thang, no stress.

You'll get used to it.

Eventually you just basically avoid almost anything "unexpected" happening through prior planning.

Is there a chance my clutch is fucked, or do I just have to adjust the clutch cable? This happened from one minute to the next while it was raining.

>>16879412
does your clutch engage close to the handlebar rather than further out?

>>16879412
clutch is fine just look in your bikes manual and do the adjustment procedure it recommends.

>>16879425
As far as I can tell it doesn't fully disengage at all even if I pull the lever in all the way.
It used to bite about 1/3rd of the way in, closer to the handle.

>>16879431
Yeah I will, just wanted your expert opinion on whether I should check the clutch itself as well.

>>16879439
hell no, don't even bother until you've done the cable. Takes 5 minutes max and you'll know if it's fine or not after that.

Goldwing has three times the power and a little over twice the weight.

Rip the shit off the Goldwing and you increase its ground clearance, power to weight, and handling substantially. Drastically increasing its performance.

Rip the shit off the Ninja 300 and do a bunch of power mods and you still have a slow as shit standard with some ugly wanna be bodywork.

Selling something in order to make it legal to race in a production based racing class.

>>16879538

>He'll pay for it, right?
he said he would but he makes the least amount of money in the house by far.

He was talking to me about a payment plan or something earlier.

Pricing out all factory parts its about $1000 in damage, plus paint cost.

1. the 1299 is not legal in racing series, so they need to produce a homologation 1199R still.

2. "Prestige" brand means people will pay for the super expensive models, ducati is like ferrari, they built street bikes to go racing originally, this only changed in the mid 90s with the release of the monster.

3. Nobody gives a fuck about WSBK anymore, there are 3 people with real actual factory teams, Ducati, Kawasaki and MV agusta (who only run 1 bike and can barely afford to race), aprila stopped caring when they entered MotoGP, yamaha and honda are both "factory supported teams" but are not factory efforts.

>>16879565

What trouble would I have to go through to get a vin check on a motorcycle? A friend of a friend recently in got touch with me about a bike he wanted to trade. He has a bill of sale, which would still allow me to register it in my state. BUT the ignition and the gas cap lock are both torn out. I don't know him very well, but given his collection and half finished projects I don't he stole it, but I'd rather be safe than sorry. I rode it a bit and it's running perfectly fine and all he's not asking for much.

>>16879646
Check the catalogue for a vin check thread, there's usually one and if not there should be within a few days.

>>16879646
>BUT the ignition and the gas cap lock are both torn out.

Why do Americans need to pay to check out a bike?
I can just go to a government site, fill in the license plate and they give me all the information I need, like insurance, stolen or not, rolled back dials etc.

>>16879661
>I can just go to a government site, fill in the license plate and they give me all the information I need, like insurance, stolen or not, rolled back dials etc.

plates in freedom land dont work like that exactly. plate belongs to a person not the vehicle

>>16879631
For $400 you can get a lot of helmet unless you're paying the Shoei/Arai/Shubert brand tax. I mean a fucking Shoei X-Fourteen is like $400 in Japan that's just them fucking us over.

For gloves you can go lower than 250USD a lot more easily than you can go higher. Like say in Alpinestars line that's the bottom of their sport boots but around the middle of their gloves, even if everything below is shit.

>>16879670
not to mention that even top of the line A* gloves are shite

>>16879669
in most states

>>16879669
But they are linked to the car right? Or can you just have one plate for several car?

>>16879679
>can you just have one plate for several car?
Correct

>>16879675
>in most states
never been to a state that keeps plate with car when you sell it. soi maybe there is somewhere that works like that
>But they are linked to the car right?
yes in a sense.
>can you just have one plate for several car?
not where i live but i do not know the laws of other states. that might be how it works a feww states over

>>16879656
yeah it's sketchy as all fuck but besides some cosmetic issues it's looking pretty good for it's age. I'm fairly certain I've seen that bike on craigslist before, only it was missing the rear brake assembly. This guy said he'd been meaning to put one on but never got around to it.

I understand that going to leather would be a step up, but otherwise.. What the fuck else do you need? As long as the quality is good enough to hold everything in place for a few moments (which it seems it is, 3 years and not so much as a loose stitch).

Helmets could be quieter but I've used worse. Tried a few and I guess Bell and Shoei just didn't fit right, they were actually louder.

Why would I spend $400 of my medium earned Canuckbucks on a textile jacket?

I think I might sell my Dainese Carbon Cover ST gloves.

I wore them only a few times in winter so they never saw my sweat and haven't been deformed since they're too wide for me (that's why I'm selling them). It's a shame because they're undoubtedly the best piece of my equipment by far.

Anyone of you faggots interested? They're S size and I'm EU, Italy.

I can get on board with the helmet to an extent. But fuck.. $6-900 for a helmet?

It's a personal thing I think.. none of the other helmets I tried (including others from HJC) fit quite right. They all left gaps for air to make noise. Not sure if I tried an Arai or not. So if it's just a comfort thing, then I don't get it: buy whatever is comfy. They're all Snell rated, they're all just plastic and foam with bits of metal for clips and shit.

Also isn't Arai the brand with the fucky visors? I remember one of the "expensive" brands having a very weird visor clip design or something.

>>16880066
Full gauntlet.
Didn't think about how much I want. I paid them €110 and that seems the price right now. Maybe €90.

They're basically new, I can provide lots of pictures, they never saw a drop of sweat.

>>16880058
>buy right the first time so you don't have to buy again
You literally have to buy a new helmet each few years because it won't protect you anymore.

>>16880080

Because... Plastic... What? What part of a helmet's protection can possibly go bad if it never sees a fall?

I've only ever heard to replace it after it gets "used" because the internal structure might be damaged and be useless in the next "use".

HJC says to replace the helmet every 5 years, if I'm not wrong.

Goyim.

>>16880122
it depends on the material its made of you mong, poly-carbonate gets brittle after 4-5 years, fiberglass lasts longer

>>16880126
My HJC is fiberglass though.

>>16880118
Bare foam will lose 30% of it's effectiveness after like 15 years, but encased in the UV-resistant materials newer helmets are made of, that's more like 30 years to lose 30% effectiveness.

Dont leave the helmet baking in the sun when parked because heat and dryness does accelerate the process. But still.. Manufacturer's suggest replacing every 7 years on average, which means you can reasonably expect 10 out of the damn things.

If I adjusted the air pressure at a gas station and didn't wait enough time for the tires to cool down before filling air pressure.
is there a difference in the PSI?. I mean if I put 32 PSI when the tire is not cold enough, what is the chances that there is actually more than 32 PSI in the tire?, because I don't want over pressure.

Can your nails cut or consume the gloves?

I found that you have to keep cutting them because if they start to grow they'll immediately push against the leather.

why does /dbt/ hate the scrambler so much?
im thinking of getting one as a city bike that can go on short road trips every now and then

>>16880764
Dbt hates everything.
If you like it, buy it.

>>16880764

I would be very surprised if you could feel that.

I honestly think you just imagine things at this point, especially considering the middle band on them is so damn tiny as well.

I've never heard anything like this from my bro who runs the tyres and does track, road and commuting on the things nor any review or anyone ever at all. I certainly didn't notice it when riding on them either.

I think you're absolutely crazy in the coconut dude.

>>16880823
I like them, and they have probably the best engine Harley ever made with the most aftermarket of any road going bike.

>>16880833
No

>>16880758
Not mine, it was my buddy's. He commuted like 1.5hrs and he said it was fine, the tiny windscreen left alot to be desired, but the riding positing and torque more than made up for it. I only rode it twice, but the wind doesn't bother me much until about 80mph, granted I have a dualsport with no wind protection so I'm kinda used to it. If you're coming off off something with a larger windsceen you may hate it. Only really one way to find out, take a test ride on one m8.

Also, Nexx has it's own bluetooth device that was actually developed with Sena called the X-Com.
The helmet comes with a removable plate that you can swap the X-Com into. It allows it to not stick off the helmet like a traditional Sena. There are also cut outs in the foam for mounting the speakers into in order to not create pressure points.

thing is, it mostly stands outside. Dont wanna wake up to a dead motorcycle one day because some drops touched what they shouldn't touch. Then again, I don't think the fairing actually does much.

I'm not an idiot, I did research them. They make most of their shit locally in the USA except for the engine (Chinese Honda Clone) and the shocks.

Apparently they've been restoring and making custom scooters for years, so I imagine they have a good degree of knowledge when it comes to the fabrication aspects.

>>16881240

Nothing in particular, they show up to a lot of bike shows to try and sell their shit (they're located about 100 miles from me) But you know that hipster who bought a CB350 on Craigslist, chopped it up and put some clip ons and header tape on, then talks about how amazing the "experience" is, and how "connected" he feels? Now imagine he partnered up with his slimy business major friend to build bikes from the ground up. That's what the vibe I get from them.

Ive seen one up close at a show. The QC looked subpar. I work in automotive quality though so i may be very biased and nitpicky.

>>16881367
Like I said i've never ridden one, I had a chance to but wasn't really interested. They look pretty much how you'd expect a bike made by 4 guys in Indiana for $6k, fit and finish is mediocre, one of the demo bikes they had broke halfway through but it had some weird sidecar on it so that may be why. Personally I wouldn't touch one with a 10 foot pole, but they're really not my style.

>built by squids

No thanks.

So I'm trying to learn how to wheelie slowly and safely and after fucking around power wheelieing in first I realize that it's not the most reliable way plus it can be putting unnessary stress on the bike. However when I try to clutch up even on full throttle in 2nd the power is immediately lost and drops the rpm to the usual level for my speed. I don't think it's slipping as I've felt that when I first changed the levers. It's a first bike but something feels wrong trying to clutch up.

>>16881434
you should be in the power band before you even start the clutching process. And most people have a natural reaction to instantly chop throttle as soon as they pop the clutch, so make sure you're holding it open.

Squidding is fun.

>>16881440
I can fully redline it and lock the throttle while completely letting go of the clutch. I don't even accelerate until the rpms drop back down.

Help me DBT, I don't know why I love how this bike looks so much. And I'm not even a hipster, am I too late to be saved?

>>16879646
Fuck that. People without clear titles should be ignored. You can run the VIN directly via your local sheriff or police in most states.

If he wants to trade that means his bike is more fucked than the one he wants to trade for. I notice you didn't mention what it is.

just resize them under 1mb while you're at it. The extra pixels aren't doing you any good

>>16881571
The R9t is a bretty gud bike
You should get one, just without the gay fairings

>>16881552
You can buy those bikes in alibaba or aliexpress for like $500. So you gotta believe there chink shit.

>>16881578
No see that's the problem, I hate the R nine T without the fairings, the race model is the only one that looks super cool and retro.

My dad wanted one and I thought they were gay as fuck until I saw it in person

>>16881561
I like it

>>16881571
It's a good looking bike with modern features.
Don't let someone else tell you what you like. Especially not on here where 75% of everyone on here can't afford a bike more than $3k.

Fair enough. Also early Harley bikes are dope

I think if you like the way the bike looks, fuck everyone else's opinion. It's like with ugly chicks; if you like her the way she is, fuck the haters.

>/dbt/ constantly argue about carbs vs EFI
>EFIfags talk about how EFI works when the altitude or weather changes
>except bikes are closed loop so that doesn't happen
uhh efitards?

Seriously though, are there any bikes with open loop EFI stock?

Research BMW owners forums, which tend to be very good. This is not a BMW owners forum. If you buy one, get the factory Robert Bentley service manual.

Don't overpay. Used German bikes aren't worth a lot with few exceptions. When you get it home perform a full service. I would bleed fresh brake fluid through the system because it's cheaper than parts.

Many old BMW brake hoses crumble and spew crumbs through the system. Aftermarket braided stainless lines have Teflon hoses and are far superior.

>that's like the minimum you should be paying, or else you'll get plastic shit and have your brain burst like a watermelon when you crash.

Citation needed. All scientific assertions are testable. Specify precisely why more money actually means more safety and bring facts to bolster your contention.

>>16880069
>But fuck.. $6-900 for a helmet?

Helmet elitists are like Harley owners.

FZ6 was my friends first bike. He's dropped it once when he was first practicing in a parking lot. I can't see he's a good rider but he also mostly just got a bike for commuting since his car wasnt gonna pass smog and wasnt worth fixing. Fork seals blew at 32k miles. Also, the PO dropped it, first thing to get fucked on that bike is the fuel tank, sliders are a must!

>Harley-Davidson started off as two guys in a barn
You ever tried to ride a Harley from the "two guys in a barn" era? They don't go far.

>>16880120
Styling from a different era. Most young riders want anime-inspired bikes which is fine, but you should be in touch with why you think what you think. Also red is a poor color choice for that machine.

>>16881623
I mean if it works, it does. This things got like a hair under 100hp and weighs around 200kg/440lbs wet. That, tied with an engine that takes off past 8k RPM doesn't make a good learner bike.

>>16880797
Price is right. Get Robert Bentley factory manual and hit BMW forums. I'd change all fluids including fork oil to begin afresh.

>>16881630
to be fair, no motorcycles from that era went far.

>>16881603

> "closed loop bikes"
doesn't every EFI bike operate in open loop at higher revs and closed loop in low revs?

its an entire series of bikes dude

>>16881647
How exactly would they do that without a MAF or wideband O2?

>>16881636
Yeah the dude is kinda shit in anything twist but god damn is he a missile when it comes to lane splitting and navigating traffic. I think part of the problem tho is the PO put on some weird commuting only tires on the bike. 10k miles of commuting later and they still have meat. Probably not very good for cornering tho

>>16880839
They do, like all Harleys, have by far the greatest aftermarket. You can build a complete one without buying a factory nut or bolt.

Evo Sporties are slow out of the box but quite reliable and pleasantly torquey. It's not a sport bike so you don't want one, but Sportsters have been a success since the 1950s for valid reasons.

You have no clue. Make informed statements or fuck off.

>>16881651
No shit nigger.

>>16881658
That's not a very good excuse tbqh. He's probably scared in the corners, which is usually what happens when you start on a quick bike. I had shit tires on my CX and I could keep up with people in gsxr600s and cbr600rrs because I rode the local mountain road every two days and practiced turning a lot.

It's a lot of what is explained in the sticky, I can speak from personal experience.

>>16880864
>Dont wanna wake up to a dead motorcycle one day because some drops touched what they shouldn't touch.

Visually inspect where water might go. Dielectric grease on connectors is a good idea regardless.

I can honestly afford it decent too, with financing of course, which I'm not afraid of.

My biggest gripe was speed since I'm coming from a Harley, I regret buying such a slow bike, but the r nine t racer actually comes with 110hp and 84 torque. Granted it's air cooled but a 2.9 0-60 and 145 top speed isn't bad at all

>>16881384
Absent any useful fucking info in your post, just toss a coin. Your mystery may be cheaper to fix than the known problem.

Diagnose mystery. Compare repair cost. Choose accordingly.

I just bought this 04 CBR 1000rr for 1000. It will be delivered tomorrow good deal or not?

Has 14k miles
1 owner garage kept
Clean title
And she claims no scratches or dents

Nothing wrong with financing if you can afford it.

Okay I've got $10k budget for next bike
I want fun weekend bike and good commuter, preferably below liter size because muh insurance
Gonna be taking it across the country also, so needs to be comfy
I'm not really opposed to any style, cruisers, sportbikes, adv, whatever
New or used

>>16881669
Yeahh probably, I think he mostly likes the mpg's and straight line speed. Which since he bought the bike to commute with makes sense. At least he knows he's not that good and dosn't mind me racing off lol

>>16881709
My only scary bit is I'm in college, and I'm doing a science major, so I'm about 2 years I'll be with a bachelors, and I wanna do masters, and all these people in my program are saying oh you can't work while doing a masters, and I can't tell if they're being pussies since more than half the people in my program now complain they can't work and do school and I'm doing it just fine. Or if it's really that difficult and my life will be consumed by it

Fair enough.

If you've ridden it, I love the handling on the fz, it's really confidence inspiring with the tires I've got on it.
