the z125 is neat, but essentially the same with no aftermarket.

Could you guys please explain the appeal of these? They seem to fit a certain niche that no one that ive seen riding them use.

Are they jack of all trades bikes?

>>17042446
as many as it took for the Porsche guy to find the hospital it was taken to

>>17042325
Same up here, and I'm in the US.

Every now and then you see red/white/orange, probably because they crashed and bought new plastics. Also, all the riders are either white or the whitest non-whites you'll ever meet.

>>17042454
The "trail bike" niche for light offroading disappeared. Dual sports are basically detuned MX bikes, and people dislike that because it's all maintenance-hungry, underpowered thumpers and super tall suspensions all the way down. Adventure/rally/scrambler bikes are just the return of the trailie, for people that don't pretend they tackle technical single track and trials courses every time they leave the garage.

>>17042454
The adv bikes?
They are great to tour with, on perfectly smooth to fire roads.

Basically tour bikes with high suspension and wheels that fit off road tires.

I almost bought one but they are "soulless."
Much like the xt660 i think that's the kind of bike that grows on you but certainly is not impressive at the first try.

However if i had to ride down thousands of kilometers with maybe offroad/bad weather i'd take one against any other "adventure bike" no question, incredible reliability and comfort.

( i bought a tiger1200 instead for the incredible motor and because i never offroad but i sometimes wish i could just go around a forest road and have some camping fun a country away from home)

They're for riding long distances on highways or back roads loaded up with a weeks worth of camping shit, then when you get to bumfuck nowhere riding through gravel and fire roads to get to your campsite. They aren't dirtbikes, just an off-road oriented tourer, just like sport tourers are sport oriented tourers, and cruisers are noise oriented tourers.

Or they're for commuting to work and telling people about long way round.

My duke doesn't vibe much. It's pretty non-buzzy. The only comfort problem I've had is the seat. I spent the bucks for the "powerparts" seat, which is good enough to tour on.

44 claimed crank HP, and the dyno curves I've seen are 39-41, so that seems right. Suspension has 6 inches travel at both ends, with light preload and very progressive springs, as is the modern style, so it feels firm in the twisties and surprisingly plush jumping curbs.

That shitpost has been around a while. KTM has a huge share of the US offroad market, so there is no shortage of pics of broken bikes. My bikes been fine so far, so meh.

Well guys, I am fucking HYPED right now. For those of you that do not know, the 2004-2007 Ninja 250s were part of a massive recall through Kawasaki due to a manufacturing defect where one of the fairings screws can perforate the gas tank. Yes, this supposed Japanese master race actually made one of the fairings mounting points ON the 1 centimeter thick gas tank. So if you overtorqued it, lost the rubber gromet, or used literally any other fairing screw when re-assembling the fairings, you would drill a nice hole into your gas tank.

Anyways, despite it being 12 years later, Kawasaki is still honoring these recalls and I just dropped my bike off at the dealership where they are getting me a brand new $800 OEM gas tank for free.

IDK, I personally woulnd't get a grom unless it was practically free, I'd probably never ride it cuz it really doesn't get up to speed unless you live in a city.

Because all I have at the moment is the DR650 for personal transport. Plus, with my work, it's kind of dumb to only have a bike because of the nature of it all- where I have to go, all my tools and gear I have to bring, the transient nature of the job in general, etc.

I have a 900rr. Not long after I got it, the cheap ass caltric (or some other cheap Chinese shit) regulator died. It's not worth it to fuck with that junk. Yes, I know it's only $16 on Amazon.

I replaced both the stator and the regulator with Electrosport components. Works flawlessly and the rr was larger with better cooling fins. And fit better against the frame.

not sure how training schools do it but I assume they book it for me first then gimme a crash course
I'd do it all myself but I need a 600 to take the test on, so I might as well use theirs

as long as I know exactly what the instructor wants to see, I'm not nervous
there's things like use of indicators. If there's nobody to benefit from me using it, do I use it or not?
if I do then the instructor will think I'm unaware that it's unnecessary
if I don't then he'll think that I've either forgotten to use it, or that because I'm a noob, I need to use them all the time to get into the habit

I'll be sure to ask beforehand

The way a motorcycle shunt system works is that the stator is always putting out 100%, and any unused power is shunted to ground hense the name shunt regulator. The problem with that is the problems of burnt stators/wiring because of all the amps going through wires which cause heat. The new series style regulator only draws as much power as the bike needs to run and charge the battery, no more. So there is less current being drawn which translates to less heat.

>>17043793
so does that mean it's actually better for your stator to put a higher load on your electrical system?

I got a broken down sportbike to part out. What parts are valuable?
Already sold the exhaust and speedo.
I know the frame and front end are valuable but IDK if it would be worth the hassle to ship them.

>>17044322
Body panels, brake parts and suspension. Broken down in what way? Because racers are always looking for motors. Don't ship it yourself, have them pay for it or come get it.

Hello Gentlemen,

I recently gifted to myself this pretty Baby.
It is my first Motorcycle after doing my license on a naked Kawasaki Ninja 650n. (german fag)

It is by far not as scary or unconfortable as people made it sound. It also leans into Turns much easier.

But people always warned me about the front wheel going up when giving it good gas,
i did not try to do it deliberately yet, but already ripped it open pretty hard when going slower.

There was no indication of the thing ever going up. It just rapidly accelerates.

Would this be a power wheelie? Is that stuff even doable on a 600 when already at a travelling pace? Did i get memed on?

>>17044423
The clutch, stator, stator cover, and key are all missing so I can't even try to start it. It looks like most of the engine is still there, but it has been sitting for years without oil in it so I can at least see some rust on the flywheel.

Where to sell parts other than ebay? The listings don't get much attention there.

make sure you use maximum throttle in your turns so you don't slide out

>>17044638
They're wanting you to say both. This image is in my state motorcycle manual.
Although technically most non-cruiser bikes are capable of 100% weight transfer to the front whee, so you should be able to achieve the shortest stopping distance with or without the rear brake.

You bought literally the weakest 600 on the market. It makes sub 100hp. I'm sorry bro, at least it's supposed to handle well

>>17044708
its fast enough for me. So i wont fuckin throw it in the air when i rip open the throttle?

>>17043911
A e s t h e t i c colors pls

>>17044713
probably not, 600s can't really loop without you helping it, just lean forward, cover the rear brake and pin it from 0-redline, see what happens.

>tfw i could be riding and wrenching but I'm poor and unmotivated

>>17044713
I mean it's still possible I guess. I know for my R6 in order to powerwheelie you get into the powerband so about 9k rpm, close throttle, and then reapply very quickly

Sometimes I have to fiddle with the ignition and cutoff switch the get the engine running. The starter works but the engine doesn't start. Could it be something simple like a loose cable harness? It didn't cause me any problem so far but I'm afraid the engine might randomly die while I ride or something.

>>17044753
>tfw could be wrenching on my DR650
IF THEY WOULD SHIP MY FUCKING PARTS REEEE

Called a guy about an older dual sport (1990), said the speedometer occasionally gets inaccurate but fixes itself after a bit. Said he checked the cable and it seems fine. What else could it be? Just a part in the actual analog gauge itself has gone bad over the years?

For suspension geometry reasons that's not exactly the case, although the limiting factor in stopping distance for most riders is being complete fucking pussies on the front brake anyways.

Like the reason ~00 Hondas have those linked brakes is so you get a bit of rear brake without having to think about modulating it and the retards who mash the rear brake actually have the front brake do something.

>>17044708
