Any reason not to ride a smaller bike on serious trails?
Like a KX100?
Im tired of my monster heavy bike off road.

Anyone do this?

kx100 would be epic fun in single trails.

I agree. Debating between the kx100 and the XR100.
Obvious power differences, but the XR is so common and reliable. Plus no mixing.

Both are about $1000 on my area.

>>17338074
Don't you dare talk down to baiku. She is 233cc of raw fury.

>>17338048
Thoughts on a 2001 GPX 250?
I'm going to look at one on the weekend, price is $1700 AUD with registration. It looks to be in great condition and has 35,000km on it. Any specific things to look out for?

>>17338082
kx100 or a crf150r if you want to spend moolah, xr100 is too gutless to go up hills.
i have a drz125 and its alright for just cruising around but it just can't do hills it does not have the power.

So other than shit talking folks who shit talk 250 baiku, I broke 1000 miles on public roads without becoming dedz today! Also picked up the saddle bags shining brightly above, going to do about 500 miles this weekend to go count snakes in Middle-of-fucking-nowhere MN. Should be able to get all my gear into the saddlebags and tank bag so I can run with no backpack. Will do an oil change tomorrow. Other than sleeping well the night before and taking breaks every hour, any suggestions for first long-ish trip?

>>17338154
Take a shit before you leave.
nothing worse than really needing a shit and being hours away from a toilet.

>Daily baiku to work in rush hour traffic
How am I not dead yet

>>17338154
my knees get sore if I ride sitting down for too long, I think it's because they lock my ankles up so well from rotating that it puts extra stress on my knee. Take regular breaks, even if you think you're all good, ounce of prevention worth a pound of cure, etc.

>>17338120
Yeah i figured as much.
The crf150r is too unreliable however.
Guess ill have to 2-smoke it

>>17338059
I'm currently looking for a KX100 to replace my KX250, because I'll have more fun on it and my GF will be able to ride it.

>>17338059
Yes, but put a 10 or 12 ounce flywheel in it.

If you aren't a manlet, just get a real bike 125 or 250.

>>17338214
I currently have a 450.
Just tired of the weight and size

>>17338203
Aye. Planning on tomorrow being the first day since I got her that I don't take baiku out, let my knee heal up a bit before I head out Friday. Bonked it pretty bad (came down on a straight leg while clutch-starting her), been on max-daily doses of Tylenol ever since. Already have pit stops planned right about every hour.

>>17338219
Then get a 125 or 250. They are much lighter and the 125's wheelbase is a bit shorter.

>>17338219
>weight and size

have you thought about a trials bike?

serious

>>17338228

>>17338232
Yes but i wanna be able to sit down.

>tfw baiku takes a long time to start after stalling and almost run out of battery trying to keep starting it out while trying to learn maneuvers
I dunno bros. Kickstart and button.

>>17338341
Once it got going it went fine the rest of the way home, got to 140KM/H on the highway so it definitely runs good, but it's really discouraging going too far when any random stall could mean out of commission if I use up the battery kickstarting it and then trying the button every once in a while.

>>17338301
the reason I got a 450 trail bike road registered instead of getting a big road bike was basically that I liked being able to manhandle the thing around. if it tips over I can actually just put my foot out and hold it up (unless I put said foot into a surprisingly deep mud puddle, new clutch lever pls) If it craps out for any reason I can actually move it by myself. So going even further in that direction would be a hoot. sounds like a trials bike with a seat for real

To be honest i wouldnt be replacing a 450 with a kx100 lol, too many things you can't do on a kx100 like ride for more than 50km without fueling up again.
kx100 would be a fun fuck around bike and thats about it and no your girlfriend will not like riding it, thats what things like the klx140 are for.

Dont get a little city bike new though, you will get bored in a year and want to upgrade, let some other sucker take the depreciation hit.

>>17338154
>any suggestions for first long-ish trip?
Ride the tank out if you can, if not push for at least 90 minutes to make any kind of time, unless you're just riding for the hell of it.
Wear compression shorts, boxers bunch up and become uncomfortable.
Bring a water bottle and a power bar.
Again if you have a destination to reach, listen to music.

>>17338403
Found one used only has ~700 miles on it for like a grand off and I honestly think I'll want it for about 5 years, this is my third bike and if I got it I'd have two at the same time

>>17338399
I want her to be able to flat foot both feet so that she is more comfortable learning dirt and doesn't give up on it the first time she fall off on the wrong side of a hill.

>>17338154
You will be fine, dont overthink it. What bike? The cm250?

Ive done 14 hour days on an fz09, that on a cruiser will be ezpz.

limp wristed numale trash?
do you not have an ounce of muscle on your body or something?

>>17338407
Riding the tank out wouldn't be a good option (get about 60 to the gallon at 55, so over three hours to a tank). Will re-plan to push it out to at least ninety minutes. It is only about 4 hours each way, so every hour does seem excessive. I know there have been nights when I've been mounted longer than an hour at a time just cruising around the cities.

>>17338419
Aye, CM250C. She is a much more upright stance than a typical cruiser (almost a UJM with a cruiser seat and handlebars), but my ankles have gotten used to it over the last few weeks.

>>17338433
Basically

>>17338441

I rode the shit out of my KX125.... When I was about 14 years old.

Was doing 35-40 mph splitting lanes between the carpool and the fast lane in a California traffic on my cruiser when some faggot on sports bike over takes me and starts pointing for me to stay on the carpool lane as he then proceeds to speed up around 50-60 mph almost getting hit by an SUV illegally exiting the carpool lane.

30 is coming up in 5 years, we'll see how bad my existential crises and general pain of existence is. By 40 I should be able to afford a plane that I can just fly out over the sea until I run out of fuel though, so we'll see if I can make it that far.

Depends what you are doing really.
450 is nice for in the bush, you never even have to rev them you can just cruise along at your own pace having a nice time if thats what you want to do or you can give them some juice and go along like a cat that sat in a puddle of battery acid.
125's on the other hand you have two options, go as fast as is humanly possible or do not go anywhere at all.

This is why i ride a 300 and not a 125 these days.

>>17338693

> you never even have to rev them you can just cruise along at your own pace having a nice time if thats what you want to do or you can give them some juice and go along like a cat that sat in a puddle of battery acid.

Precisely what I enjoy about my 4-stroke 650.

>125's on the other hand you have two options, go as fast as is humanly possible or do not go anywhere at all.

And exactly the way I felt about my 2-stroke 125. Go balls out, wide open throttle until the tank runs dry or don't even bother riding at all.

Which is why I'm seriously considering a 500cc 2-stroke.

>>17338699
>500cc 2 stroke
Don't bother. The novelty wears off.
Used to own a 94, not at all hard to kickstart like some faggots insist, but the powerband just isn't fun unless you're on a huge flat beach. Constantly going from lugging to DEFCON 1, which sucks for technical bushwork.
You want to go up a decent hill, but you don't want all of the powerband? No problem, it will be waiting for you at the top.
Just get a highly strung 400-500 4T, at least the powerband is linear.

So /dbt/ I'm having a midlife crises despite only being 25 (maybe it's a sign I'll be dead by 50). I'm planning on building a motorcycle from scratch. How ridiculous is this? I'll use a doner bike for electrics and motor wheels and forks. Everything else I want to craft myself. Should I?

>>17338739
Something tells me you have never ridden a 500cc 2 stroke, pic related used to be my bike before i sold it to my uncle and its power band is actually fairly tame, plenty of low end grunt and you never really need to get close to the top end power and even if you do its still usable.

The main problem with the thing is god damn are they thirsty, 10 litres of fuel might last you 80km if you baby it.

Why the h8 for cafe bikes?

Are they the stance of the bike world?

>>17338760
pretty much.
They claim they do it for performance but making a 125cc bike from the 80's perform better is a bit retarded when you can spend less money buying a mid 2000's superbike probably for less than you spent on the cafe racer.

>>17338760
Making nice bikes shitter for no reason. Exactly like stance, having a car and ruining the comfort and handling to impress a small group of teens

>>17338765
Hipster teens at that

>>17338764
>>17338765
When I saw cafe racers I thought they were the Japanese equivalent of rat bike Harleys, as in bikes that were put back together with cheapo parts with an attention to making it look a little nicer. I didn't realize you had to chop up a perfectly normal bike

>>17338764
I don't think anyone claimed cafe bikes are to do with performance? Closest the hipsters get to modifying the engine is painting it

>>17338757
I did own a 94 CR500 for 5 years and did a few bits to it, mostly just carb work, FMF chamber blah blah.

Once I moved to the 450's it was like having the same power up top but you still had 90% of that power below the transition.

I dunno, just my opinion. I just ride an XR400 around now, I've lost my youth.

>>17338760
I like cafe bikes.
Never understood the hate.
Basically build a bike how you like. Can be as simple as changing seat and bars, to as complicated as custom welding and parts.
No different than what every one does with every bike they own.
Harleys, sport bikes, dirt bikes... every one builds them to suit themselves.

>>17338676
>I actually plan on killing myself at either 30 or 40.
You're not alone. Except some days I think I should just do it now and get it over with. Spare myself from all the stress and having to work, you know?

What specifically is wrong with hipsters though?

I'm not taking a jab, I actually want to know. I know they gentrify some areas, so I guess they drive up the prices of dumb 80s Jap bikes. It's not like they're building these bikes to drag knee while tooling around town.

>>17338777
yeah its pretty much the complete opposite of the rat bike harleys.Bosozoku bikes are closer to rat bike harleys.
>>17338782
No they literally think they are making the bikes perform better by putting those pod filters on them and carbon wrap on the exhaust.

Also, how the fuck do cruiser dickheads ride at any speed? I'd have lost both footpegs by the third stoplight.

Maybe im just bias, i tend to think my 300 has a lot of bottom end power and a 500 has more for sure.

>>17338802
I just dislike faggots who try too hard to be cool and new by doing the same thing as every other person with the same mentality.

Mostly, I just dislike taking something functional and ruining it, like stancing a sports car, putting giant knobblies on an 80's indian-market small capacity bike or having a balanced bike and completely fucking up the riding position, handling, grip and braking.

It's just fucking things up for the same of taking pictures or quite literally going to a cafe on it once because it's do uncomfortable.

>>17338629
This. I hurt myself starting my 250. Didn't realize how easy it was. Tried to do it from a running start and fucked up my knee. Afterwards, I seriously just pushed it forward (didn't even move my feet) popped it and it fired right up.

>>17338822
top kek, you could start it without getting off the bike if you started it in 3rd gear.

>>17338821
Don't we pretty much always do things for the sake of appearance and fun though? I mean if that wasn't the case, nobody would ride bikes at all, we'd be on the bus.

>Would take the bus instead of riding a motorcycle

Wtf. If everyone on the planet dropped dead I'd ride my motorcycle all day through empty streets. I couldn't give a fuck less if people thought my bike looked cool.

>>17338840
No it's not. Jesus Christ. I couldn't give a fuck less what brand of bike people ride despite personally not liking a few brands. But getting a bike and ruining performance, comfort, handling to try and impress people it's absolutely autistic

>>17338841
so you do it because you find it fun then, gotcha, whats different about you finding your bike fun and someone else finding a bike they built fun?

Not sure where you get that idea about the ergos on it. I am 6'2" and not skinny. See pic related. I sit all the way back on the lower seat and my knees end up just past the back of the outer pockets on that tank bag. Taking the seat up and inch or two would be nice, but my ankles have gotten used to the flex over the last few weeks. The CM also has a higher 'buckhorn' handlebar setup than the Nighthawk. At first I found the handlebars odd (I was about to replace them with lower/straighter bars like all the MSF bikes I trained on), but I got used to it pretty quickly.

>>17338874

Again... youre a narrow minded retard. Hating for no reason.

>>17338747
It's possible but if your frame is too soft or too stiff or not aligned properly or not welded together properly or not balanced properly it's going to have bad problems at speed and will likely have vibrations that literally tear it apart.

Start with something slow first like a DIY trials bike and post pics when you snap it in half.

what if it actually makes the bike perform better, more comfortable and handle better though?
Have you ridden a well done cafe racer before?
because they do generally perform better than the stock bike, they are just butt fucking ugly and pointless in my opinion because there is always a cheap sportsbike for sale somewhere that you could have for the price of your cafe racer and if you aren't doing it for performance who really cares?
it's their bike they are the one who is supposed to like how it looks.

Im not actually going to look down on someone else because they want a bike like that, you do sound like a bit of a self centered narcissist though so probably no reasoning to be made here.

>>17338883
It says that "cool" is subjective tho

it's honestly not a big thing where i live, the only people you really see on cafe bikes down here are actually in their 60's-80's and even then you are more likely to see them riding around on their fully restored bikes than their cafe racers.

And that's fine, it's the millenials obsessing over old shitbikes because "oh man sporty bikes and coloured leather and aerodynamic full face helmets are so scary and masculine looking I'm going to prove I'm a sophisticated new age man by exclusively riding an old pile of crap with garbage brakes then getting totally fucked up by the slightest fall" that are insufferable.

Even /dbt/ has that autismo nobike that constantly complains he only wants bikes with a round headlight and anything else is "tryhard and edgy"

It's ok anon everyone hates those fags who only cruise around in cities, thats not just limited to cafe racers though.

>>17338900
Most guys who chop up their bikes dont bother with improved suspension, stiffening the frame, new bearings or modern brakes.

And dont start with showroom bikes.

joining your debate
i got a chance to test drive the new ducati scrambler cafe racer while i was checking out a few kawasakis (the showrooms connected and under the same management) , it was out there under the sun and i decided why not it looked interesting

being honest. its not too bad, it seemed to do well on tight city roads, really low to the ground and i could surely flatfoot it no problem.
however its just not for me, also real overpriced

>>17339031

The price is ridiculous. I just dropped a lot of my savings on a new gsxr750 but see it as worth it. Still had sleepless nights before buying. Can't imagine the buyers remorse of getting a scrambler.

My bad, actually. That's completely different from what I was staring at.

Probably the model between yours and the current. Same engine as my '91, separate passenger-pillon seats.

Still maintain about the strange foot position. Forward controls make no sense when you know upright exist.

(Also, not going to creep any further on this girl's unattended bike. That happened to me for the first time today, I couldn't imagine how she'd react to a 6'3" goon who brought his own helmet.)

Don't discount millennial contribution just because you can't see it. Y'all handled the physical world pretty well, but ask any mathematician about the algorithms these kids build.
Predictive modeling is how we found work when the factories stopped hiring. Hence, nearly everything built by your overeducated snowflakes is sitting on an nsa server.

no.
I took like art class when i was at school and they always wanted you to draw something to their guide lines which just is not how art works so i never got interested in it.

Visors: What's your opinion on clear vs smoked vs tinted vs mirrored vs gradient?
I had only ever used clear ones until today. Tried out a yellow pinlock screen once, that was shit. Recently bought one that's smoked in the top part and gets clear towards the bottom, that's p comfy. Probably too dark for nighttime riding though, except maybe city hooning (light everywhere).

>>17339246
clear outer + dark inner
best of both worlds

>>17339246
In my country to have anything but a clear visor you need to be carrying around a spare clear visor just incase police pull you over to check so i just ride with a clear visor and sunglasses.

>>17339251
What, like clear visor and dark pinlock or sunglasses or flip-down sun visor...?

>>17339255
I'll probably do that, more in case I decide to ride until after sunset. Do you have to quickly switch to the clear visor if you get pulled over or is it enough to point out you are carrying one? What country?

>>17339246
There are two viable options exactly
1) Transitions visor
2) Clear visor + dark smoke internal visor

>>17339246
Photochromatic is objectively the best, just expensive.

Modular with flip down. Or pick up some Wiley-x's for the summer. I'm considering experimenting with dirt goggles, but that's mostly morbid curiosity about whether the bike will survive state forest trails.

>>17339246
I'd get a mirrored one if it wasn't for the struggle of needing another one for nighttime.
Also my helmet has a build in flip-down visor so I'm saying with clear for visor+pinlock

Car-driving pleb reportin'

I'm after something that I can take for fair distance cruises but isn't total ass if I take it off road.

No hardcore jumping shit or anything like that, just want to be able to point to some random national park on a map, ride there and cruise through some trails. Halfway decent fuel economy and the ability to whack some saddlebags on is a bonus. Any recommendations?

I've seen a few WR250s and WR450s for sale around, I'm half tempted.

xtrainer isnt really a short bike nor is it all that light compared to say a 300exc, sure its 8cm shorter that might be enough but you could get a 300exc to the same height with a different rear spring,
weight wise its the same and as far as power is concerned the xtrainer makes around 20 less horsepower.

I have a 2001 SV650S with carbs and it just gave up on me after shopping. Ride there no problem, as I left the store: dash and lights go on, pressing start turned the engine over (I think) but immediately the dash shut down and started up again. I had a friend nearby with jumper cables and we got it running and I got home, then I tried starting it again and same diagnosis.

Clymer manual suggested first to check for flooded engine by starting it with completely open throttle and that had it working on first try. It's really hot out so I won't be experimenting until sunset in 5 hours.

I've had battery trouble before but this battery barely has half a year clocked (haven't checked it with multimeter yet). I've been riding this year with this battery since February and nothing similar happened yet.

What does it mean for the battery if I couldn't start immediately after getting home? There should be a residual charge after riding a few kilometers, right? What about the flooded engine diagnosis? When we started it in front of the shops I didn't even depress the clutch because I was holding on to one of the starter cables, much less open the throttle, so it seems that can't be it either. I'm kind of at my wit's end. Suggestions welcome.

help
I bought 4 light bulb turning signals and simply plugged them in
now when I put the left turning signal it makes a buzzing noise instead of the usual tick tock and only the front signal comes on and it does so slowly and stays on

>>17339734
never had an issue on my bikes ranging from 99 to 04 for the switch

>>17339740
if theyre LED and the last ones were incandescents you need a new flasher relay for use with leds

>>17339748
thanks, how long did you run them on conventional before switching?

>>17339748
they are light bulbs so no relay needed

I would never start on a busa, but starting on a 250 and moving up to 600-750 ish seems much more fair than having to start on a lawnmower, ride it for 2 years, and then move on to a bigger lawnmower

As for the shitposting it`s fine. Maybe it`s not even the same Leaf every time. You damn frostbacks have a disease, Abhorrent Post Syndrome.

Any opinions on Chinese bike manufacturers like Zongshen or CFMoto? Looking for something cheap I can thrash around as a first bike.

>>17339246
I got a clear one with my visor, so have a dark smoke (pretty much black) one for normal riding. It works really well when it is bright outside. I just change it out when riding in winter or darkness (pretty quick to do with the shark system).

>>17339859
They are shit and not worth spending money on

>>17339859
Buy Bajaj. Kawasaki designs half their engines, all you need to do is shore up the electrics.
(Take Indian scooter. Remove garbage cluster. Take Chinese cluster. Remove garbage scooter.)

>>17339859
For the same price as a new chinese bike you can buy a 2nd hand japanese bike with less than 20,000km on the clock that won't lose half of its value the moment you buy it.

Yep. I know plenty of folks whi ride without their M endowment.
Best part is you funny even need an endorsement in every state. Just a regular license will do.

If you're interested and able to come to Winnipeg I'm willing to let it go for 7800 leaf bucks.

>>17339903
Ok then. I always thought you at least needed a one day course to get a tick or something on your license. America is truly an amazing place.

>>17339903
Must be a thing with not having health care, in countries where health care is paid for by tax darwinism is usually frowned upon

>>17339910
Keep up the good work, buddy :*

Yea. A lot of people I know say the course is dumb because "ain't nobody gonna teach me what I already know" and such

sounds like wasted money, i already have car, bike, house and funeral insurance to pay i don't need another bill.

Until you get into an accident and break your spine and are forced to live the rest of your life in debt because of a $200,000 hospital bill
I think you should be able to personally insure yourself with a dedicated savings account, but everyone needs to have some form of health insurance desu.
Especially if you ride motorcycles

>>17340001
The UK isn't Europe, Juan

>>17340009
You're right, my apologies.
It's the new Islamic republic

>>17340008
If i get into an accident and break my spine the gubbernments will pay for all of my medical bills and when i get out of hospital the TAC will give me around 3 million dollars for pain and suffering + wages lost due to the injury as well as paying for any rehabilitation and re training for a new job.

>>17340023
Sounds like a great sustainable plan, my dude
I wonder where that money comes from

>>17340027
When people pay their registration fees for their vehicles.
TAC = Transit accident authority

>>17340028
How much does it cost to register your vehicle?

>>17340031
my car is around $600 a year, bike is around $350

>>17339890
sadly not limited to americans

>>17340047

>>17339890
Yes, the course is optional. Only about %15 of riders have taken it

State, local, and federal taxes. Ends up being less than %40 of income for pretty much everyone, and pays for roads, public education, military, state and federal employees, government welfare programs, etc.

How far should I be travelling on a 50cc scooter?

>>17340113
as far as you like

>>17340113
However far it is to your minimum wage job.

>>17340113
>limiting yourself
People cross the globe on 50ccs

>>17340116
>>17340122
Can't they not go on highways?

>>17340060
Mostly gasoline taxes. There are federal and state gas taxes. The federal taxes are divided out to handle maintenance on interstate highways, and to support states in regular maintenance. The federal funding is often tied to enforcement of federal initiatives. e.g. Puerto Rico gets fucked out of a significant amount of federal highway funding because they refuse to raise the drinking age from 18 to 21.

>>17340125
yes but that doesn't limit the distance you can cover

>>17340125
I crossed half Europe without highways, only using them when I wanted 500km+ in a day

>>17340130
I was actually pretty amazed when I started learning how to get around the Twin Cities off-highway. You can cover huge areas of the cities using 25mph parkways, which have very few stops, and are usually empty.

>>17340136
Thats because Europe isn't big

>>17340142
Indeed, only rode 8000km in it in one trip.
Still, doesn't limit how far you can go on a 50cc

>>17340228
