I'm nearing my $4 grand budget and I'm having trouble deciding between:

SV650 - ~$3-4k
DR650 - ~$4k ( or new - $6700)
DRZ400 - $?? havent seen many postings
KLR650 - ~$3-4k

It's been 2 years since I last rode and it was only dirtbikes on back roads. I like having off road capabilities but haven't found many trails so It may not be worth it to go enduro. biggest thing is I plan on doing long distances. Streetbikes aren't very enticing because my life revolves around a clean driving record (CDL, etc) I'm leaning toward a DR650 because it seems like the best in-between, my dad said just keep a set of enduro tires for the SV650 and call it good Any thoughts?

If you're already looking at the DR650 and KLR650, you might also look at the XR650L. The KLR is the most road oriented of the three, but if you're used to dirtbikes the XR will feel the most familiar.

In stock form, it's got a little less oomph across the entire RPM range than the DR. It's also really tall, which is a pro some places but a con for riders with an inseam shorter than say 30". More suspension travel, shorter wheel base, wider gear ratio. Similar aftermarket. You can find them everywhere for cheap because they haven't changed in something like 20 years.

Both bikes are easy to squeeze a little extra power out of.

Whatever you buy, I don't think it's worth buying a DR650 or XR650L new. The used market has a ton of them and that $2k is better spent on gear, upgrades, or saving for a new bike. I got my 2005 XR with 1400 miles on it in 2012 for either $4200 or $4800.

Dual sports are for wheelies and illegally riding up on footpaths. They're uncomfortable, vibrating pieces of shit with short fuel ranges so that's what road riders use them for.

Adv bikes aren't dual sports.

They're a separate category of bikes.

Dirt bikes (which itself is divided into enduro, trail, motocross, trials)
Dual sports
Adventure bikes
Scramblers
Standards
Sports
Supersports
Tourers
Cruisers

Anything else like "nakeds" or "sumo" is just a flavor on one of these.

you don't need sticky road tires to do wheelies and violate the idea of dedicated travel areas. sumos are for supermoto racing, nothing about them makes them better for hooning except for the fat front brake that improves your ability to do a stoppie, and most sumo kids are too shit to do a stoppie anyways.

My CB750 ran right up to 6000 RPM after I put it back together this weekend.

I fucked around with the idle and sync screws and it came down to 2000, but it's still fuckin' weird.

I'm not even going to screw with it any more until my sync tool gets here.

Nu-Adv bike aka starbucks racer = Road bike modified for light offroading, may have callbacks to rally racing. Two+ cyllinders, standard motorcycle HP for the displacement, heavy with normal streetbike amenities, powerful brakes, dirtbike-like suspension travel and wheel choices

Adv bike = True 50/50 compromise like a KLR650

"Dual sport" = Used to mean 50/50 bike, now means an MX racer-like chassis with a more detuned single cyllinder engine that doesn't need a rebuild every two races even though it's a four stroke

>>17249718

Carbs could be out of sync. Cleaned them a couple months ago and just kinda bench synced them but never with a sync tool. It doesn't make sense the problem would just start now though... I thought unsynced carbs just made idle inconsistent, not BALLS TO THE WALL

>>17249615
>There aren't defined lines between the segments of motorcycles.
>>17249664
>So how are you defining dual sport?
did you read what he just said?

>>17249728

I KNOW the carbs are completely fucked out of sync on the CB. When I got the bike it idled like shit, stumbled and missed, and bogged / died if you gave it too much throttle too quick all the way up to ~3500 RPM. After that it ran fine.

After the carb cleaning (assuming I didn't fuck anything up in the process), the bike started and idled a little better, but would die immediately with ANY throttle at all.

Fiddling with the sync screws produced results from 6000rpm on start to wouldn't run. Best I managed was a 2000rpm idle with it running ok. Now I'm waiting on a Carbtune II that I ordered two weeks ago to get here.

>>17249721
KLR650 is shit, it's also a dual sport.

>>17249694
>nothing about them makes them better for hooning
Except the massive amount of on road grip afforded by the sportbike tires on 17" rims. The very point behind a supermoto.

Hooning on knobbies is sketchy as fuck unless you ride like shit.

/dbt/ pls help

Trying to put a bike back together, but I can't figure out what this (circled in red) is supposed to connect to. The parts diagram helpfully refers to the tube as "tube", and the connection as "3 way jointset", neither of which tell me anything about what it's for.

There's a vacuum port on the front of the #2 carb for the fuel shutoff, fuel line connects to the item marked 4 in the diagram, and the overflow lines all connect on the bottom. I have no idea what's supposed to go here.

Ideas?

>>17249752

Ugghhh why are carbs so gay?

Uhh it's a fuel tube. It delivers gas to all the carbs.

>>17249771
>knobbies
dual sport tires are fine for everything that's not hard cornering

>>17249784
because it's still a precision system like FI, but instead of plugging in the numbers you have to adjust several screws, once for each carb.

>>17249793

The connection marked as "4" in the diagram is where the fuel line connects, and what delivers fuel to all the carbs. It's also a different size.

Are you telling me I'm supposed to install a splitter and connect different size fuel line to each place? Seems wrong anon.

Guys, on the recommendation of an anon here I just sent my bikes ECU to Bauce Racing for a derestrict and retune.

Should be about a week and a half turn around time. I'm pretty excited as it's supposed to really wake the bike up in the midrange and allow more than 50-70 percent throttle.

It's also unlocking all the GYTR race ECU features like the quickshifter, lower engine braking, higher idle, lower fan temps, fuel and ignition map tuning, opened up throttle map, disabling all the emissions shit, increased redline, optimized velocity stack, etc.

Cost me $185 plus shipping the ECU there. Pretty excited and thanks to the anon who recommended it.

>>17249784

Considering they're purely mechanical, it's impressive they even work as well as they do.

>>17249801
>dual sport tires are fine for everything that's not hard cornering
>hard cornering

That's half the fun of hooning a bike like a supermoto around.

>>17249784
>Ugghhh why are carbs so gay?
>>17249801
>because it's still a precision system like FI, but instead of plugging in the numbers you have to adjust several screws, once for each carb.

yfw muticylinder fuel injected bikes need their throttle bodies balanced in pretty much exactly the same way a multi-carb setup needs to be balanced.

>>17249820
except the VAST majority of supermoto riders never come close to cornering hard enough to break free even the hardest, cheapest dual sport tires.

>>17249835
cool unfounded opinion bro.

In my experience that's complete bullshit. Supermoto riders typically ride harder than any of the other dudes in the canyon from what I've seen.

>>17249835

You must know some pretty shit supermoto riders.

>>17249824
But you won't accidentally fuck up the tuning by taking the injectors, rails, and throttle bodies out to be cleaned of carbon and fuel gunk. You'll just restore the system to its original state.

To properly clean a carb you must start from 0 with everything that's not jet selection.

>>17249848
I do

>>17249843
congrats

>>17249815
yeah I heard thats really good on the r6

>>17249815
You're going to love it bro. Really makes it come alive. Not a ton of gain at the top but the midrange gain is night and day.

>>17249852

By no means am I saying carbs are fun or better in any way. Just that throttle bodies must also be synced to work properly.

Because you hardly ever (read: never) have to disassembly the fuel injection system on a bike, syncing throttle bodies is something you might do once or twice for the life of the bike. And all it involves is hooking up a manometer and twisting some screws.

>>17249875
You never have to dissasemble a carburetor either if you follow best practices and actually have a fuel filter (surprise: some budget nip bikes don't.)

>>17249815
Thing is higher throttle openings at low RPM doesn't do a whole lot with those engines. I have a 600cc I4 with mechanical throttle bodies and in the low-mid range it makes literally zero difference between half and full throttle.

>>17249526
Significant safety gear is not really practical on a bicycle while unless you're going full ADV uncle most motorcycle gear improves performance given its minimal impact on power:weight ratio and positive effect on comfort and body positioning.

For what it's worth even in commuting in the city a 50cc scooter is like 60kph top speed unless it's downhill and 30kph max around any kind of corners while the bike I might see 75kph and the same corners can be 50, plus the possibility I might end up going somewhere faster without stopping at home. The former is also somewhat less likely to be crashed from operator error and isn't nearly as problematic to fall off of or under. (CE armour isn't exactly rated for collisions anyways) T-shirts and flip flops is still dumb but I'm not going to say they're exactly as dangerous regardless.

156KB, 800x600px

>>17249904
Yea, it still doesn't give you full throttle in the lower rpm where it wont matter anyway. Only past 6000 or so RPM are you actually able to give it the beans. Stock throttle maps these bikes dont really have any snap below 9,000rpm. Once derestricted they have a ton at 9,000rpm and starts pull hard from 6-7000rpm.

Difference isn't only from the throttle map either, the electronic throttle trumpets (YCCI) are retuned for midrange as well. And the bike's ignition and fuel maps are retuned for your mods.

>>17249895
This is so wrong.
Especially as carbs get older they're very likely to need some work other than just cleaning out dirty fuel. I've had lots of float needles/seats/orings/gaskets that failed. Also they have to be taken off/apart to be retuned any time you make a modification to the bike, unlike EFI where you simply plug it in and upload a map (if any change is needed at all).

Still waiting on my service manual in the mail, hoping to get a little carb guidance...

'82 Honda CM250C - Threw a tach on it and found it was running a bit fast at idle. I backed it down to where it should be, and then realized that I was actually working the fast idle adjustment screw. Apparently the prev operator had screwed it in far enough to actually open up the throttle plate a tad when the fast idle wasn't even engaged. I have a basic plan of attack, and wanted to make sure it was reasonable...

Warm up the bike. Back the fast idle screw all the way out so that the throttle plate is fully closed. Adjust the idle air and mixture screws to get the correct idle speed (1200±100), shooting for as lean as possible. Shut her down and let it cool. Get it started on choke, and adjust the fast idle speed back to spec (2500±100).

Does this seem correct?

Glad you understand my endeavors

Guys today something fell off my bike but I dont know what it was, I just heard it and now the bike is leaking oil somewhere on the right side and running really rough.

>>17250177
Oil drain plug? Lol

>>17248920
I'll never forget that race in Estoril, Pedrosa crashed into Nicky, he was distraught in the gravel trap, then Rossi finished second by 0.002 seconds

Hayden won the title next race by the 5 points Rossi dropped there.

>>17250180
When I pulled over there was oil sprayed on my right leg, pretty sure the drain plug is fine.

>>17250177
>>17250186

>>17250181

>>17250186
Oil fill.

Would you guys ever put a rekluse auto clutch or similar on a sport bike. What if it was free?

Seems like it would be neat to just be able to leave it in first/second and pull away from a stop with throttle alone while still having all the perks of a sequential manual gearbox.

I hope you have fun anon!

So I finally am in a good position to buy a new or newer bike.

Anyone in NY have any dealers they just hate and that I should stay away from, my last experience with a dealer (car) was than stellar and ended in a nasty legal battle over literally nothing.

>>17250454
not my pic. i jewgled rf1200 gold visor. mine is also matte black

What are the basic differences likely to be between a boots branded as "sport touring / adventure" and boots branded as "sportbike / race"?

Things I've seen so far:
>The sport touring boots seem to usually be closer to a neutral angle and the race boots are going to be more aggressive to accommodate shifting/breaking from a more tucked position
>The touring boots seem to have simpler construction and less stitching; the sport boots are going to be more complex and have more hard plates/panels in rubber/metal etc.
>Sports boots are, by and large, more expensive.

I guess my main question is, is this a tradeoff situation where sport boots are strictly more protective / less comfortable and touring boots are strictly less protective / more comfortable?

I don't plan to offroad at all; would I be paying for any features on adventure/touring boots that would just be wasted on me entirely?

>>17250582
How do you like your rf1200? I'm thinking of getting one

>>17250585
>sport boots are strictly more protective / less comfortable and touring boots are strictly less protective / more comfortable

Basically this, yea. You'd be surprised though, some of the more racey boots can be pretty comfy. You gotta find a pair that fits just right.

>>17250613
maybe uncomfortable/comfortable was the wrong metric to choose there

i mean, the quality of being designed to be worn while and only while riding a motorcycle and being good at the things it needs to do there (provide engine feedback, allow easy braking, shifting, hitting pavement at high speeds, etc)

vs the quality of being design to be worn on a foot while the foot is doing foot things (including but not limited to riding motorcycles, walking, not slipping when you step in oil, getting rained on, wearing in the office, walking on tile floors without squeaking, etc.)

>>17250402

Looking for cheaper.

>>17250647
Eh, yea. A lot of the more regular boot styled touring boots are usually good for wearing around for more than just riding. The more sporty stuff can still do that, but you wouldn't want to wear them like regular boots or something.

Yeah, 87 with less then 75,000km on it. So it was a pretty good deal. The exhust tip on it was destroyed just before I bought it, so I while I'm waiting for a new one, I just built one from crap from Canadian Tire lol.

R3's are banging bike, but that Ducati is some sexy shit.

You both have valid points. The only genuine reason I'd say buy a small bike is for beginners. Ripping it around is a great learning experience in throttle, clutch, and brake etc.

I met a guy at a bike night that a had one.

Said it was a lot of fun to ride but he could never daily drive it. He had constant issues with it and dailies an S1000R.

Seems like most euro bikes. Neat for what it is but a terrible owning experience overall due to questionable quality and reliability.

>>17251273
I'm assuming they never made a fuel injected 750? My father has a carb 750 from 1999. It's ok. It's the beater around town and surprisingly fun to travel long distances on in its "own way" but it is anemic. It's just super easy to ride. Probably the easiest bike I've ever ridden. It is comfortable and forgiving but is slow (5 speed tops out at 95ish and that is fucking screaming) and is very boringly predictable. It just doesn't have ummph. I compare it to the tractor like parralel twins I've ridden, not really what I was expecting with a v-twin.

I just ride to have a good time. So I'm not too worried about having a "pretend bike" or a big boy bike. 2 wheels is 2 wheels to me.

I wouldn't compare a S1000R to a SF848 but I'd still ride the SF848 for the looks vanity and gay dickings.

Plus im an hour away from the biggest Ducati dealership in Manhattan.

Thanks for the run down, I was skeptical of the 750's when I read about the 5-speed gearbox and ~63hp.

>this triggers the shitbike rider

I said nothing of a WR250.
I said if youre going to get a low displacement bike why not get one that is fun at low displacement, like a supermoto or a dual sport that isnt handicapped by having little to no power.

A small displacement fake sportbike is just shit at everything.

>>17251357
Good bikes, if I wanted something to zip around town I'd get it. I know you can do anything to them the aftermarket is huge. They are just comfortable, I can't emphasis how comfortable it is, I rode from San Francisco to Seattle with shit tied down on it and a backpack and was comfortable. It's just boring and at highway speed I worried about over taking and compare my over taking ability to a standard car and not the drop it and fly I'm used to on most other bikes.

>>17251394
Yeah, it's just mindless fun to watch that stuff. Also feels like it mentally preps me for a situation like this, but that's probably just retarded.

As opposed to a low displacement dual sport that is worse than a road 250 at everything except off roading, which it is still shit at.

An R3 is 2 seconds faster to 60 and has a 30mph higher top speed than the comparable Yamaha dual sport, who are you trying to kid?

Yeah overtaking would be what I'm most worried about with one of these things. Comfort is another reason I'm looking at a naked bike but I fell like and reasonably upright naked should be pretty comfortable.

The looks are spot on but I definitely think that I'm leaning towards the SV.

Man I've had so much shit happen if I had recorded all of it I'd have a decent youtube following I'd bet. Shit from tipping my bike over 10+ times (including the second it was delivered to my garage and denting the tank), beating an old geezer in a corvette who's response was "I would've went faster but I'm too old" with my fucking 250cc, and crashing at 90mph and walking off the crash with just a sprained ankle.

Not to mention I lost everything I had recorded when I reformatted my computer.

No. It's a slow piece of shit. If you care about 0-60 time and top speed, then bought an R3, you're big dumb fuck,.

I didn't realize the performance difference between a Chevy Cruze and Camaro was so slight as to be irrelevant.

But yes it matters when your kid's dirt bike can't keep up with traffic going uphill.

>>17251423
The bigger monsters of that generation were not as refined as I am assuming the new ones. (Not ridden a new one but I am assuming) they threw full sized superbike motors in the monsters in the 90s, and I can't for the life of me remember what 900 I rode but it was stupid, too much motor not enough computers the bike felt as if Ducati threw the motor into a bike that was made around there 600-800 motors. Things like suspension, brakes and frame were not well suited for the power.

You dont buy a sub 600cc anything if you care about 0-60 performance.

There are dual sports that easily keep up with traffic on the highway, your assertion is without merit.

The fact is if you want a low cc bike a dual sport is a far better and more practical option than a slow useless fake sportbike.

If you want something with fast acceleration and top speed. You're not cross shopping a bunch of slow ass 250cc/300cc shitbikes. Full stop.

>>17251474
I've never owned a dirtbike.
Your point is still shit and so are 250-300cc "sportbikes".

Checkmate atheist.

What mounts do you guys use to record your rides? I've been trying to find a good chin mount for my RF1200 but everything I've found is nigger rigging 3+ gopro mounts together.

>>17251488
I'm not buying a 300 because one is 3/10 faster to 60 than another, but when you're looking at two bikes in the same price and displacement bracket and one is TWO FUCKING SECONDS faster without being harder to ride because of it (rather, mostly easier in traffic) that is kind of worth taking note of dude.

Also whoever is trying to defend 250/300s needs to stop. It's embarrassing.

For the price of a 250/300 you can easily get a used 600 and be acknowledged as a real rider. If you need to cite statistics and shit because you're buttblasted over getting left behind every group ride and having to ride full throttle in top gear to just keep up with traffic get a life and a real bike.

>>17251502
You're missing the point that you dont look at bikes anywhere near that displacement if you care about 0-60 times at all. They are all similar flavors of slow.

Once you've accepted that a 500 or less cc bike is just going to be flat slow you start looking at their other merits if you still want to buy in that bracket.

a dual sport or a supermoto will simply be a more enjoyable and versitile bike than some fake wanna be sport bike. it will handle in traffic and around town better and it will only be slightly worse on the highway.

Plus all the added utility of being able to ride off road.

Why do you think we have 0-60 times for economy cars or published outside of enthusiast magazines at all? It does still matter because it's an indicator of being able to pull out into traffic without getting assblasted.

>it will handle in traffic and around town better
Based on what? If you're super worried about steering lock get a naked but I don't think you'll need to worry about it unless your commute looks like this:

>Plus all the added utility of being able to ride off road.
Yeah what kind of cuck buys a car when they could have an SUV either right? I love the added utility of a road bike doing something I don't give a fuck about a road bike doing, I should put a stereo and 100lbs of hard cases on it too so it can be a car as well since a $3000 piece of crap dirt bike is the only vehicle I'm able to own.

Thoughts on Buell? Xb9 and Xb12 or any you've rode

>when you realize the absurdity of arguing over the highway capability of a bike with a 2 gallon fuel tank

>It does still matter because it's an indicator of being able to pull out into traffic without getting assblasted.
Which any decent dualsport can do.

>Based on what?
lighter, taller, narrower, better visibility, better steering lock, great low speed steering geometry.

>I love the added utility of a road bike doing something I don't give a fuck about a road bike doing
You're missing the point... again.
If you want a bike that's exclusively good on the road, a 250-300cc fake sportbike is a shit choice. Just get a better road going bike, like a 650 twin. hell, even a 500cc learner.

The ONLY good bikes in the 250-400cc displacement range are supermotos and dual sports. Period.

250-300cc fake sportbikes are shit, period.

>>17251667
You don't typically take a bone stock dual sport for trans continental trips. They are decent commuters and good for connecting trails stock but not meant for long distance off the showroom floor.

If you do want to do a long distance trip pretty much every single dual sport out there has the option of a high capacity tank for just a few bills and would be just one of several modifications you would make to prep a bike for long distance travel.

Your point is moot.

This is the truth. There's no reason to get one of these shitbikes besides cost and you're deluding yourself by trying to be convinced otherwise.

They're just bikes made for third world countries and don't even have sportbike geometry.

Are i3's the worst sounding bikes?
Not as much scream as an i4 and not as throaty as a vtwin. Just some lame middle ground.

why would anyone get "sport" bike if its not even fast?

isnt the whole point of shit ergonomics to be fast?

>>17251816
I've put about 1000km on a ninja 300 and I thought the ergonomics were fine but if you have a low powered bike and you want to increase its speed, improving its aerodynamics with fairings and riding position makes a lot of sense to me.

>>17251840
Makes even more sense to just not get a slow bike if you don't want to go slow
