Wanna know if they'll shit out on me if they get caught in the rain or something.

YammieNoob uploaded a picture of his bike on Instagram a few days ago which showed the aftermarket axle sliders he bought. The bike in the crash (which was also a 675R) had the exact same sliders. It's a miracle he survived. I think what happened was by some bizarre strike of luck the energy dissipated in a way which ejected him directly off his bike and straight up, avoiding any head-on contact with the car itself

>>16985372
he gon get sued to oblivion tho

>>16985372
i imagine he must be in a fucking comma or something because he hast posted anything yet

its beyond me how he survived that

I think he was walking a pretty tight rope considering he had to finance this second Daytona. I am more amazed by how badly the car was damaged. Usually these accidents don't result in more than a small dent for the cars.

He was on the wrong fucking lane, at high speed in a corner.

That porsche owner owns him now.

>>16985420
He was riding in the wrong lane, and considering what a bellend he is, it was almost certainly intentional.

How much of a bother (and cost) would it be to replace the gauge cluster on an FZ6?
You can get a decent ~2004-6 FZ6 for a good 800-1k € less than you can an S2 but the fuckugly, barely usable tach is a major turnoff and all the aftermarket kits seem like ghetto ricer shit.

Is there any point in buying currently seemingly undervalued bikes in hopes of apprecation?

>>16985522
Only if you know what goes up in price and are able to keep it in mint condition

>>16985522
Sure, in 50 years they'll be worth a lot more.

>>16985513
Bring it to some electrician. A proper one. Otherwise, you could hunt for one on ebay or get one from a wrecked bike.

Buying from dealerships WILL get expensive as fuck

>>16985458
he was on the wrong lane and totaled the owners porsch

Is there a basic set of stuff you guys always carry on the bike? Like tools or extra layers or something? If so, where do you put it? Especially in regards to theft?

>>16985529
Yeah, I've been checking local ebay equivalent for stuff salvaged from wrecks but gauge clusters are probably the first thing that goes.
And aftermarket kits seem to mostly be thinly veiled chinkshit that I'm afraid will do link related to me

why does dbt push the used bike meme so hard. i would much rather get scammed off a dealer and be gaurenteed to ride as soon as i put gas in it and get gaurenteed legal paperwork

Because you get get more fast for your buck when you buy used and dbt is all about the e-peter.

>>16985554

>dad keeps telling me I shouldn't buy a liter peter because they're too expensive
Should I listen to him or not

>>16985615
Well, after considering your whole financial situation, riding experience and bike preference, I'd say just ignore him and buy one.

>>16985615
>Getting cucked by your dad

Not like you could afford one living on your parents basement

>>16985615
If you're still young enough for your dad to tell you what to ride, you're probably too young to responsibly ride a 1000cc sportbike.

>>16985628

Just got my pig running again yesterday. Had to remove the carb and clean it out, it was a long time coming. Main jet was probably 70% clogged. Running great now.

On that note, anyone have any suggestions for a container for spare fuel that I can put in a backpack? I'd like something completely sealed that holds 1-2 liters of spare fuel. Where I live now, it's a pretty long run to get anywhere truly remote, and the factory tank is on the small side.

>>16985615
He's telling you that because he doesn't want you to kill yourself in the first corner you decide to take after pulling the throttle. I'd say listen to him and get something between a 600 and a low tuned liter, but your choice.

The porsche owner won't necessarily sue yammie. This accident is exactly what insurance is for, stupidity. As long as Yammie has liability insurance (the most basic type of insurance) the porsche owner is fine. Depending on Yammie's state minimum liability limit and what package he has, he should be fine. Unless his state minimum is something like 20/40/10 which would be 20,000 per person in accident, 40,000 total for accident, and 10,000 for property damage, in which case Yammie is completely fucked :^)

>>16985639
>>16985656
He doesn't know anything about bikes other than "those racers are dangerous" so that's probably his real intention. They are really more expensive though, especially registration and insurance. I'm not sure if they're worth the money but I don't think I'll know until I live with one for a while.

For a different bike, you might need different size wrenches or a socket or something. Jap enduros are simple as fuck fortunately.

There's a little cargo bag on the back seat of my bike that has a locking cable you can loop through the helmet lock. I also keep the registration, insurance, and a copy of the owners manual in a waterproof bag in there.

There's a space inside the battery compartment for spare fuses and I always make sure there are spares.

I rode my XR650L 5000 miles over 5 months, all over the Western US. Camping and taking back roads / no roads whenever I could. Nothing broke on the bike the whole time, but having the stuff handy was still useful. Allowed oil changes in parking lots when stopping through towns and things.

>>16985675

Confirmed.

You work in the industry too anon? I'm licensed in all lines.

My state has 15/30/10 mins, and most people with motorcycles have that. I totaled a brand new 4 door Cadillac on a 200cc bike when I was 17, and didn't break a bone. Boy she was upset when she found out she wasn't getting shit out of me.

why does /dbt/ dislike honda?

they have the gear, bike, everything so, no loss except their fee if its not for you.

>>16985877
you will love it for sure. it's hard not to. the difficult part is really "letting go" enough to enjoy it which can be kind of hard to do knowing how many cars on the road and how many of them are terrible drivers.

You just dont add signals, Its not as simple as adding on lights. You need the relays and switch and a way to mount it, let alone any dealing with any laws. Youd need to call the dmv to see if you can convert a bike which they may consider off road use only to road legal, and what the process is. For 1500 you should be able to find a decent starter bike thats road worthy

As in, is it actually worth it or is it just something for people who would be otherwise absolutely shit at riding like a special ed class or something? And does it actually lower insurance rates by considerable amounts?

>>16986232
The basic or advanced one?

>>16986252
Unless you get a converted dirt bike most of them have at least 120-140 mile range on a tank.

>>16986239
I would say they are preobably the best beginner bikes you can get.
Manageable power, loads of power:grip ratio, easy low speed handling, awesomely fun at high speed, can take them literally almost anywhere, if you drop it nothing happens, easy to work on.

Better first bikes than faired faux sport bikes like the 250/300 shitters.

I don't care one way or another about this faggot, only reason I know who he is is because of his annoying "10 reasons why" type videos I avoid like the plague.

But jesus I can't understand how someone can be this bad at riding, and fuck themselves up so consistently.

Some people just are not meant to ride motorcycles. If this wasn't his load-and-clear hint, nothing will convince him and the next one will kill him.

>>16986269

No. Buy tools and equipment which pay off hugely over a lifetime. There are better ways to save and make money unless you live where you can warehouse piles of stuff for nothing after getting it cheap as a dealer or shop owner.

Also use an inflation calculator. A rebuilt rather nice Shovelhead I sold for 4500 in the 1980s is worth about the same in CONSTANT dollars.

Bike doesn't have to be going 100mph for it to be a 100+mph collision.

If the car was going 50mph and the bike was going 50mph the resulting head on collision would have been a 100mph collision

It's likely either or both the car and the bike were going faster than 50mph.

>>16986405

Then buy a new bike problem solved!

If you are mechanically inclined used is great, but if not buy new. Not everyone is poor and not everyone enjoys spinning wrenches or wants to learn how.

A few thousand bucks isn't a big deal if you have the money.

Not unless it's free. They are docile but that abortion in the pic would cost too much to sort out if you had to pay for it.

Wonderful engines though and the bikes themselve are low maintenance. That exhaust needs to go innatrash.

>>16985858
They aren't aggressive and aren't particularly heavy except by sportbike standards. Unless you are a midget it's no problem and weights about what the very similar 750 and 850s weigh.

I'd not give over six hundred bucks for it if it runs well. If it doesn't run well, ignore it.

yes. Pilot Power 3s
As long as I was easy on the throttle I could keep the skidz controllable. The biggest issue was the low ground clearance. I had to make my way over a small fallen tree which was difficult. I basically had to stand on the tree to push it all the way against the ground to keep the bike from teeter tottering on it as I crossed.

>>16986443
That's a pretty janky mounting solution anon. There are loads of off the shelf mounting solutions for external brake reservoirs.

I would pick up an R6 MC and a reservoir/reservoir mount. Just make sure the fluid tube does not go higher than the bottom nipple on the reservoir.

Just buy a new chain and take those stupid extenders off. Should take like 20-30 minutes to set it right.

Wouldn't even cost you anything either because you could just re-use the retardedly long chain by breaking it to the proper length assuming it is in good condition.

As for all maintenence records showing conformity to the manufacturer recommended maintenance. Do research ahead of time byu looking up that bike maintenence schedule in its service manual. If they cannot produce (they can't) use it as a bargaining chip to reduce the price.

If it's more than you're willing to pay, make a counteroffer. If they decline all your offers and you don't want to pay that, walk away from it.

Often when they see you walking away, they'll accept your offer. But don't actually walk away unless you don't want it for that price, because they usually won't.

>>16986567
Be a grown up, don't be afraid of them. They're not going to beat you up for not wanting to pay full price. Look the bike you're interested in up on kbb, use that as a reference for fair pricing and go down from there. Don't just offer less, you gotta have a reason why you don't want to pay full price. Maintenance history is a good reason

They'll think you're more of an idiot for not bargaining than if you were to make too low of an offer. Just don't be dumb and be realistic about it; they'll think you're wasting their time if you offer like 50% of asking.

simple answer is because he thinks he's good, whether he says it out loud or not, he has an extremely high opinion of himself.

that's why with less than a years experience under his belt he considered himself experienced enough to preach about kneedown lean angles on the road and how it's just not possible to do and be safe and ra ra ra.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ViuIMEhMtAU

now he's crashed like twice on the road being a fucking idiot (the first time he crashed was on like a 20 degree bend too) and guess who ain't ever crashed on the road going knee down? this guy.

If you think you're better than you are you're gonna try riding better than you can and that's where you crash.

>>16987105
thats good to hear, i was kinda worried it would be totally different to your average university.

Idk about embry riddle but Daytona state college (where I'll be going at the end of the year) is right around the corner and so is Bethune cookman (majority black college) and the hottest girls I've seen come out of there. In the navy btw so I've been all over for reference lol

The way 100% of media photography of bikes is this low angle shit is annoying. The bottom of the front cowl on my bike is kind of weird because of the simplified way it's mounted and it looks dorky in all the press pictures but it doesn't matter at all in reality.

>>16987179
Full African women are objectively the least desirable female demographic.

>>16987198

>>16987179
There's plenty to choose from. Also trashy red neck white bitches are just up i4

>>16987202
I just mean not Halfrican. Look it up. Black women and Asian men are the least desirable demographics.

Wait, so he thinks cornering hard on the street is stupid bullshit. but then he crashes constantly because he is shit at cornering on the street.

You can't make this shit up.

p sure balding pudgy anglo manlets are the least desirable male demographic so I guess you're allowed to choose the female one.
