How do you "lose" a front wheel?

>>17286337
loss of traction

>>17286246
>your day off focus

>>17286331
Not surprising to be honest. People never want to believe me when I explain to them why dirt/touring riding like that is so dangerous. You're on some meme bike that is like 5 feet off the ground. It's gonna hurt when you come down.

>>17286331
>Shit hurts. A lot
Captain Obvious is still at work

>>17286337
Lost grip on his front wheel

>>17286337

>>17286364
The coming down wasn't the problem. The tree was.

>>17286364
>BTW, the crash was 100% my own fault. I apparently didn't give the tires enough time for warming up after a rather long break I went for before the crash happened.

And that's why you don't try to be gp racer on shitty dual sport tires

Guys, I've been looking for a new bike and stumbled across an 04 GSX-R1000 Mladin race replica with 8000 on it for just over 4500. Comes with a suit, some boots, a helmet, and 4 other jackets.

What are /DBT/s thoughts on the K4 GSX-R1000?

>>17286434
No, he just commuted on a straight line.

>>17286331
Wtf, i just saw his video with 1000ps yesterday

But honestly, the way eh rode in his Little shitty honda, it was only matter of time. He should have just gone in the Track with a proper bike

Hab ich doch schon :^)
Ich war in letzter Zeit nur gar nicht hier, zu wenig Zeit
Aber ich hab die XJ schon einmal hier gepostet

>>17286483
Honestly, it boots at $4750 according to KBB. I lied, he's asking $4500 on the button. I haven't talked to the seller yet, but I'm guessing the guy never rode the damn thing so the tires are probably old and need to be replaced. Would try to talk down.

>>17286285
Not comfy enough

>>17286483
Also it looks like the suit that he's offering has sliders that are worn down on it, so it looks like it was tracked. Is there anything to worry about regarding a bike that was tracked?

>>17286508
Oida wow
Das Teil ist übel lässig, wie taugts dir?
Ja ich war auch schon länger nicht mehr hier, ich scheine einiges verpasst zu haben

>>17286450
>Comes with a suit, some boots, a helmet, and 4 other jackets.
I've just done some math. The combined value of those items is around $1. Keep this in mind when you negotiate the ridiculously high price down abit.

>>17286540
So $4500 is asking too much? How much should I ask for?

Lol a 14 year old bike, doesnt matter what model, isnt worth more than 3,5

>>17286548
Just let them be, I can read their 5th Reich plans. Their current plans won't be successful.

>>17286558
It does depend on the bike.
A bike that's 20k+ when new is normally around 5k around that point.

But that's mostly heavy tourers and adv bikes.

>>17286450

The fact that it is a Matt Mladin special edition doesn't mean shit. The fact that it has low miles is cool but yet again doesn't mean shit

If you want a fair deal, factoring in the maintenance that it will probably need (tires and an oil change), I'd offer $3500. If he doesn't take it, no big deal. There are thousands of these bikes out there and you'll find the right deal eventually.

>>17286450
There was a couple year mid 00's where the 1k gixxers had a ton of issues

I'm not doing the research for you, just be currfull.

If you can snipe it for 4k its probably an alright deal, especially if the gear fits. Hope its not your first bike, or rip.

Finally a bit more power than the R65. I even feared that I would find the BMW too weak after buying the XJ, but it still is totally fine.
I got it for pretty cheap, everything is good with it. The only problem is, that the clutch is slipping sometimes. But it's missing a spring on the lever that actuates bzw. returns the clutch at the engine case, maybe that's the reason.
Aber ich will trotzdem immer noch eine XT, allerdings fände ich jetzt auch eine dual sport die ein bisschen leichter, evtl. schwächer und weniger alltagstauglich ist nicht mehr so unattraktiv, nachdem ich jetzt zwei normal motorisierte hab die man auch DDen kan

>>17286518
You would be surprised, I've done 14 hour days on it without really being too sore. Its not cruiser comfy, but its really not bad.

I've got about 2 hours max on my sv650 before my back is fuckered.

Yeah there is a 10U for my Corsair as well, but the cardo is just an all around better system imo. Even for a clamp mounted unit it's extremely small and thin, on top of that you can swap speakers out for whatever you want. I am ditching my sena soon for cardo.

>>17287118
Only the last 30 were aimlessly riding, and that did get a little boring because there were so many cops out that night. I almost smoked a bicyclist because he was crossing lanes of traffic with no lights or reflectors at all, so I chewed him out.

Are vibrations harmful to a bike? I'm getting especially at around 4k rpm a lot of vibration from what feels like the engine and i'm worried if i should just avoid staying for longer in that range.

>>17287159
What bike?

>>17287118
Getting lost is pretty fun except that one time where I ended up in skid row.

>>17287159
Engines always vibrate, around 4k it's just that your frame is vibrating with it.

>>17287159
No, it's normal for vibrations to be more noticeable at certain RPMs. You don't need to avoid that rev range, but you can if it's uncomfortable.

I've been trying to sell my CBR250 for nearly a year. This week three people called and said that they're going to come look at it and nobody appeared. Maybe I should sell my SV instead

I wave to everyone but I don't hold a grudge if they don't wave back. It's usually 50cc scoot scoots who don't wave, and I take roads less traveled so I don't even meet that many bikers anyway. It was three last time.

Nah. I think that when someone does the wave even though there's no CoC mandating it it's more genuine.

>>17287290
I usually only wave if they wave first, but if they wave I always wave back. Getting the wave makes me happy so I wave back to maybe brighten their day. You aren´t an asshole if you don´t but it´s a nice gesture

people did it to me while I was doing my cbt, kicked my autism into overdrive. They were obviously just being friendly, welcoming me the biker world but I didn't want to look like I thought I was in the big boys club for just being on my first day and didn't want to let go of the clutch or some shit and stall like a goof, so it just turned into jerky half nod thing

>>17287397

Be glad people don't do it there on the highway.

They do that in Sweden and Finland. But due to their lack of traffic and low biker count I get it.
Here you're just focused on your side, trying not to be killed.

>>17287383

It was a phenomenal bike that was good at everything I asked it to do. The problem was that it just wasn't exciting at all and since I don't commute via motorcycle anymore I wasn't riding it.

Anyone know a good way to upgrade the brakes on an SV650?
Hard mode: it has to work for the new GladiusV650
Very Hard Mode: It has to keep the ABS

>>17287477
r6 master cylinder is a common upgrade I believe

>>17287477
undoable
easiest way to do front end jobs is to swap them in from a more capable model, in your case a gixxer
desu if i were you i'd just remove the abs fuse and learn to use the brakes you already have to their fullest
no way you're getting the most out of them as is

Any of you guys ever swap out gauges on you bike with geberic aftermarket or different model?

Speedos and tachs all work the same dont they?

The GPZ500 / Ninja 500 is generally very reliable, those engines are known to regularly go over 50k miles with just routine maintenance. Doing valve adjustments is a pain in the ass but other than that they're fairly easy to care for.

why hasn't motorbiking been banned yet? it's both dangerous and fun which is usually the death-knell of anything good.

How hard is it to replace a chain and sprockets? In theory it seems easy enough but the only tricky part seems to be assembling the chain with the master link and all that. Easy or would it be worth it to save time and have a shop do it when I drop my bike off soon regardless? I'm sure I could figure it out just looking for opinions

>>17287784
Government advices it actually here, traffic is kinda jammed and the rail lines are absolute shit and don't even think about taking a bus to work, as you can't unless you start working around 12 and are allowed to leave at 6, or you're stuck at work until the next day.

>and this is not only during the weekdays
This weekend the shut down a mayor highway in the country, which caused a massive gridlock on the one near it. And they shut down the train line in the same place for the weekend for rail work too. With the expected accidents this effectively closed of my city from the rest of the country, during a four day weekend with sunny weather.

Bikes and bicycles were the only vehicles still able to get anywhere without mayor delay.

It's one of the easiest jobs you can do anon.

As long as you have a stand of some kind, or your bike has a center stand at least.

Just do it yourself.

>>17287847
I've scraped bicycle peddles does that make me a hard core knee dragger?

>>17287784
Because they can tax it.

people are paying road tax for bikes they only bring out a handful of times a year causing no wear on the roads...

>>17287870
My country is pretty chill for bikers. Lower taxes, lower insurance, no inspections, cops generally don't give a fuck and people are used to bikes. Only thing missing is proper filtering, but most of the time you can get by with lane splitting.
Also the tax discount for hybrid cars is now removed, and the government is focussing more on getting people onto bikes. They're not doing much for it, but they're also doing nothing against for a change.

>>17287873
Sadly they closed my shortcut, which was a small road parallel to the highway, where no cars were allowed. Few weeks ago they also closed it for bikes, so now you have to go on the highway, or take a 50km detour.

>>17287903

doesn't count.

Was it halfway it would have and I've done that before as a kid. Crashed a good amount, as you can imagine.
Also scraped it on high, on a patch of ice, with my feet on the ground and body on top the bike. Technically a low-side, but scraped it was.
Still have to bend it back.

We didn't really have hills, but we did skid contests.
Trying to go as much as a circle as we could.

Actually helps me on a bike, as I know exactly how the back is going to behave when locking up and how to control it. Have had many shocked faces when I put my bike sideways in an emergency stop.

in fact, every new 600 for the last decade has been complete garbage

>>17288320
is the husky yours? how do you like it?

>>17287539
You wanna expand on that answer or are you content with being a smarmy dick?

How do they work differently?

>>17288501
Speedos usually work by counting wheel rotations and displaying a speed based on that. Swapping a speedo from a bike with a different wheel size will result in the speedometer not being accurate anymore.

Tachometers work differently as well, some have a shaft sensor and others run off of intermittent electrical signals generated by alternators / spark plugs(?). This is why you see some aftermarket tachometers marketed as working for "most single cylinder motorcycles" or "most 4 cylinder motorcycles".

>>17288560
Not to mention that some speedos operate mechanically (they have a cable that runs from the speedo down to the axle where the end of the cable fits into some sort of gear that twists the cable as the wheel spins) and other speedos operate via electronic sensors that detect wheel revolutions.

>>17288482
I thought you were just an autistic fuck but the first number that comes up in google shows the 2017 gsxr has like 10 less ponies. Did emission law really fuck bikes that hard?

I had to park downtown for some court-related faggotry a while back and the only spot I could find was at a meter. I came back out about 30minutes later and some other guy had parked his bike next to mine, piggybacking off my meter time.

At first I was mad (he's using the parking time I paid for nurrrr durrrr) but then my perma-retardation ebbed for but a fleeting moment and I realized that I was out the money either way but at least this way the city didn't get to jew another person out of that much more and I got to eyefuck the bike, so I left feeling much happier.

My bike has a gauge for all that.

If you lost traction in the rear, you aren't braking well. Minimize directional traction use and master increasing pressure on the front brake for emergency braking on the street.

Fuelly.

Ok thanks.

It seems like the speedo would be the easiest to change.

I want to replace my forks entirely, So whatever I pull the forks from I should take the speedometer too.

The magna im working on has some wonky steering geometery and id like to try a different fork and wheel setup to see how that works out.
