Post your bike history and fall, if any, history.

>started 5 years ago on a restricted FZ6
>a year later swapped to 07 ninja 250 cos i wanted to be a cool 23 yearold guy
>stopped for a year then got a bandit 600 '01 for a few months, then a FZ6 again, then on a bandit 650 07, and now on a GSXR 600, k5

Only fell once at 10 kmph on the ninja due to following a car in traffic, and didn't have enough awareness to avoid a tile on the road, thought to loosen up and roll over it straight, bike flew right from under me.

>tfw my chicken strips are thicc cos i ride for 6 months through winter then stop for a year

The GSXR is my favourite so far, with the GSF 650 a close second simply cos it's extreme comfy.

The VFR is still my favourite but if I'd bought another one I'd have lost my license by now, it was always happier at 140mph than 70.

A friend has an 800, he was demolishing people on the track, and he was being careful since it's his street bike.

I was taken away by its performance.

>>16901954
That was my basic instinct. For reference I've been on a whole "stop drinking all day" thing and I've recently started /fit/ and I've lost about 55lbs in the last 3 months. I was looking at a Honda cbr500r, nothing I would be inclined to hoon too hard and enough torque to have fun.

Yeah that's a good choice, can't go wrong with it or the general street fighters, the GSF600, FZ6, the CB 600's. Reliable bikes, comfy, easy. You can have fun on 250's easily as well, people just gush needlessly over top end.

>>16902026
He must mean a 600rr, and even then i don't think you can restrict it to that amount while being legal cos it's some bullshit about the restricted power being less than the full power when doubling the restriction.

On second thought, he probably means 600f

>>16902056
He could mean a cbr250rr

>>16902050
Honestly, have you read the sticky yet? There's a great picture and infographic the for your exact questions.

>>16902046
>I would not recommend an fz6 to a beginner.

It was my first bike, restricted but only on the throttle to 7k revs, full power till then. IT's a completely fine bike to learn on, and it's very reliable if he slips or falls.

600;s aren't bad for first time riders.

>>16902076
I'm on a GSXR 600 k5 now, anon.

I agree it is better to start on a smaller bike, but it's completely doable on a 600-non-crotch-rocket if you havee the confidence.

>It's fine restricted to 7k
Bruh, the one we, and that guy got, makes very little power below 8k.

The problem isn't that RPM, it's when he's chilling at 9k RPM around a turn and he hits a bump and his wrist twitches out of reflex and all of a sudden a hundred horsepower hits the rear wheel.

It's a slightly detuned r6 motor, and a supersports is definitely not recommended for a learner.

Nope I mean a 2002 CBR 954RR.
For starters the law you quoted was applied in all of europe except for germany, which somehow messed up the universal motorcylce license law that should have been used in all of europe. you could legally retrict any bike back then.
Keep in mind this was in 2011 the law has since been renewed

short answer:
yes

long answer:
It had the restricting plates in there >>16902012
and a throttle lock or whatever it is called so you could not open the throttle up completely.
logically I i hit the the throttle lock with a hammer so I could open the throttle more. But I think this made it actually worse. It would run really well until I opened the throttle more than what it originally was designed to do with this restriction. Then its felt like loosing power.
You couldn't just WOT it (well WOT would have been a fem millimeters at most lol) cause that wouldn't be where the bike would make all of the 34hp.
In retrospect I should not have modified the restriction in hopes to get more power. It would have probably run better.

Sure I could have taken out the plates and everything, but that would have been very obvious If I would have had a crash

>>16902085
>100hp at the rear wheel
not even at peak power.
>causes by a bump or wrist twitch
You have got some serious issues if you can't control the throttle on a 600.
>supersports not recommended for a learner
The power is one of my lesser concerns here. The short steering lock, riding position, and geometry of the bike are more of the issue there

The fz6 has a supersports motor that is down by 15 horsepower, and after riding my buddies r6 the throttle reacts the same way.

I'm not saying it is impossible to start on one, I'm just saying that it is not a great idea in America with our unrestricted models. It would be a better choice to get an sv650 or ninja 650 or something.

The wheel bearings? I didn't feel any play when I was working on the front end. I'm going to change the fork oil soon so I will check them again then.

>>16902458

>>16902458
no you remove the pivot and cable then drop the lever on the road. The removed weight from the front of the bike makes the front come up in a wheelie

Yes. Just letting it go all at once and pinning the throttle

>>16902458
It's when the bolt isn't screwed in properly and it falls out of the metal clamp, happens to dirtbike riders all the time due to friction.

No not really, when I was a kid and I took my dad's KDX to my friends backyard track to hit his 11 foot tabletop my dad just said the equivalent of "dose it cunt".

My understanding is that you basically want to do a wheelie off the end of the jump.

nothing wrong with a line like that on the street to leave a bit of room in case of cyclists or pedestrians

On a scale of 1 to 10, where 1 is flipflops and wife beater and 10 is power ranger body condom, how protective are kevlar jeans?

>>16904124
when evaluating any protection on a motorcycle, there are two things to consider: abrasion resistance, and impact resistance

kevlar has decent abrasion resistance, far more than regular denim/cotton jeans, but not as much as leather by a long shot.

kevlar has literally zero impact resistance. if you go down on your knee at 65mph, your joint is going to be obliterated and your skin is going to be ripped apart.

if you go down and the bike absorbs most of the impact from the road, and you just slide for ~3 seconds or less, your jeans will be destroyed but your road rash should be nonexistent to minimal

obviously leather pants are ideal, but I struggle to find a purpose for kevlar jeans. if you want something you can wear on a commute, get textile overpants and just wear them over normal jeans. longer lasting, easy to take with as they fit over everything, and usually have built in knee/hip protection at a basic level.

with kevlar jeans you are usually worried about fucking them up OFF the bike, and they only protect against low speed low impact crashes, like lowsiding a bike in a parking lot or in a school zone.

tl;dr scale of 1-10 i rate them a 5, decent for dense urban commuting at max speed of 35, skin will be hamburger past that

can anybody rec me some good gloves? usually get gauntlet style as I'm ATGATT to the max, but have been thinking about getting half-gaunlet or just glove style since my jacket extends to past wrist and it's kind of fucking annoying to keep stuffing either the glove or the sleeve into one another every day since they are roughly the same size and dont fit inside properly

Started with Honda mt50 at age 12, quickly get bored of the mower engine pumping out about 10bhp.
Hear that the honda (cg?) 100cc engine will swap into the frame. Buy engine and make it fit. Engine doesnt fit very well, have to grind the cylinder head mount and cooling fins down, still doesn't fit so bolt it up with what I can anyway.
Ride round like VTEC just kicked in yo. Then I blow it up.
Do "big bike test", here in the UK having done my basic training on a tragic 125cc. As I recall the instructor let me do my CBT on a 500cc.
The 500cc is a tragic ER5 with crash bars all over.
First big bike is the Honda VFR800 VTEC 2005. Probably my favourite all round bike ever

>>16904260
you could probably find something cheaper from REV'IT! and Alpinestars that would be about the same. The REV'IT! GT-R Air jacket seems pretty popular. If you have a set of pants from Dainese go with the Air Frame D1 so you can use the zip.

For the helmet I would recommend you try on as many helmets as you can and figure out which one feels best for you.

sorry brother, first time in that part of 4chan. would love if you took the time to explain why they are so worthless. Also what leather jacket would you recommend for hot weather. I mean 25-38 degrees celsius.

>>16904424
i enjoy textile jackets because they are more breathable in socal weather. i wear supermoto gear underneath my jacket since i commute 55mph+ and am worried about impacting with another car since in socal if you are over 1 carlength from another vehicle you are too far away

i have a leather jacket too, which i am currently wearing after getting memed on a few months ago on /dbt/. i still wear the supermoto chestpiece and kneeguards under my jacket/overpants since i already have them. might as well wear them.

gonna buy a drz so they wont go to waste either way, not wearing my pads feels naked to me now, even thoguh the jacket and pants have armour in them already

Any EU license prior to a year or two ago gets Trike license along with Car (Cat B), rather than Cat A like motorcycles. Same deal as the Can-Am Spyder.

What a nice day to ride my bike after looking at bikes all day with dad. I sure can't wait to ride every day this week with my new riding buddy either. I hope nothing goes wrong that will prevent me from going home on my bike today or anything.

>>16904653
I was in 5th when it happened, shifted down into neutral without the clutch to stop but there's no way I'm going back through half of Berlin without a clutch to get home.
>in the middle of bumfuck nowhere so probably have to pay towing dude despite having insurance, or leave bike at towing service, have it delivered to a bike shop in bumfuck nowhere sometime this week because it's fucking Sunday and pay even more shekels to have this minor thing fixed because I don't have other transportation to go to bumfuck nowhere again and fix it myself.
REEE

>>16904665
just shift it into second and never stop

>>16904660
I tried going down once it did not worked. I can do it up erretime tho. is there a magic code

>>16904660
>>16904668
yes.

Preload lever, blip throttle as if you were downshift revmatching with the clutch, bam it will slide right in without any clutch nice and smooth.

I only use this if I'm being lazy and don't have my left hand on the bar though, it's not useful at any level of braking above plain engine braking for the most part.

>>16904668
Rev. It'll jerk but werks.

>>16904667
>city of 3.5 million people on a Sunday evening
I'll just fly over red lights and backed up traffic, what could go wrong?

>>16903143
Tubes are much worse than tubeless tires when punctured. Apparently dat screw didn't make it into the tube enough for a puncture or you'd have a flat, but you can't see condition with the tire installed.

So it's the inverse of going up-- come onto throttle instead of coming off. neet

Guys, I need help

First of all I'm going to buy my first bike soon and I don't really have much money, will be using my scholarship and some help from my mother

Things to consider:
>It's my FIRST bike
>I like "cruiser" type and can't spend more than 2,000 - 2,500 USD on it (40,000 MXN ~)
>My "go to" are Suzuki GZ150 and Bajaj Street 220 (Something like a VStar is way out of my range price, it costs the double)
>I live in a third world country (México) so I don't have many options available here
>Wanna buy a new one because used ones are almost always very poorly maintained because they don't even give a single fuck about them
>I will be only using it for going to college (Really, nothing else)
>I won't need more than 250cc because traffic

What do? Do you have any other options, advice? Should I an hero?

>>16904843
>250cc "cruiser"

its like you want to be laughed at

>>16904851
That's why I said "cruiser" and not cruiser

>>16904843

Started last April, aged 33.
First driving school bike was a A2 Kawasaki ER-6N.
After about 2 week I got a Ducati Scrambler Full-Throttle.
Passed my A license in June, test drove the new SV650, MT-07, XSR700, Ducati Monster 9something and a 2016 HONDA NC760S without DCT.

Liked the XSR700 the most, but I got 1k discount on the NC750S so I decided to go with the NC750S, get more experience, save more money (the NC750S is cheap as fuck regarding taxes and insurance here in Krautland) and then go for a XSR900, Ducati Scrambler classic or Triumph Bonneville T120/T100 next year, depending on test drive.
