What the fuck

>>17732984

Street gixxer riders are valuable because they reliably write litre bikes off within the first 10 thousand ks and generally just loop them and crack the subframe. This steady supply is vital to maintaining the sport at affordable levels.

Not in my backyard. My insurance sport bike rates are jacked up the fuck and I'm not benefitting from the spare parts on the market as a result.

You call?

>>17733041

I just ride a naked bike on the road and do sports bikes at the track, so the insurance side of things doesn't bother me.

Actually doing an almost brand spankers R1M soon. 3000km on it written off for fairings and headlight, maybe a bent fork. $8k at auction, I think around $30k new?

Only drama is swapping out the electronic suspension to fit it into the regs, but I figure I'll fix up the front end and swap it for some standard gear and just get the stock stuff revalved.

>>17733033
Put the video on 0.25x speed in settings. The other bike nearly cuts him in half perpendicular right on his back. Spine is gone just below the shoulder blade along with all his internal organs, possibly heart took the impact. Looks like yes, he lost his foot too. The pant leg is empty and I've heard of no legless riders actively riding.

>>17733055
Cool I've seen a couple of the new R1s around, probably not R1Ms though. A girl in my club went down on hers and was ranting on facebook about people giving her shit for it and calling her out for being a woman. It was very feminist and misogynist maymay with 60 individual comments of circlejerking feel good.

>>17733033
good thing they have the same leathers on so it looks like the guy survived and is walking around

>>17733062
Plot twist: They're from the same racing team.

>>17733060
>I've seen a couple of the new R1s around, probably not R1Ms though

Same thing but you get some trick tech bits with the M (lot of telemetry) and electronic suspension which unfortunately can't be used in racing here. Worth it for the tech stuff alone though.

>>17733069
Launch control is gud

>>17733073

That and the wheelie control. Apparently at the low settings it will just let the front hover a few inches above the deck (no awkward power cut, just tapers it out).

>>17733064

>tfw you realize every day how much better commuting is on a bike
Honestly, I'd rather be hot in my textile gear and zip / filter through traffic than sit in a climatized box for twice as long waiting on traffic to move.
God I love riding.

Help me decide: I ride a 20 year old shitbike right now. I won't upgrade for at least another year, possibly 2. I commute on it, I tour on it. When I upgrade, I'll keep the old bike in addition to the new one. The new one will be a standard or sports tourer, so fit for commuting. Should I
>keep the old bike street legal for city commuting

The nearby track is very twisty, it's longest straight is only like 700 m I think.

What do I do? I can't afford two bikes now. Dual sport would be great since I like riding around on the farm, but the Z300 was so much fun to ride on the road even if we only did 60km/h.

>>17733128
Dual sports are very versatile so unless you commute a lot on highways, it'd be a good choice.
Getting a naked / standard is also a good idea but serious offroading is probably out of the question. You can go on gravel roads / green lanes (R65 did that on his BMW R65 and had some fun) but the harder suspension and road tires make it less than ideal. On the other hand, you can take nakeds on smaller tracks and have fun; dual sports will be sketchy.

So try to figure out what kind of riding you'll be doing mainly. Me, I'd go for a naked bike.

yeah, no way a leg would just fly away like that, this isnt a zombie movie and bikes dont have sawblades attached to them.

Seems to me like he slid under the safety barrier after he got hit in the torso, all this probably led to him suffocating in some way.

Talked to a guy this week in the US from Italy who said that dealers were taking 4-5 months to get him parts as needed. Luckily he has friends and family in Italy to send him parts, but he was astonished how difficult it was to own here than it was to own in Italy.

Maybe think twice.

>>17733570
depends where you're going, what your old bike is and how well equipped/trained your cops are

if your old bike was a harley or dirt bike for example even cops probably could tell the difference but it sounds pretty unlikely anything will come out of it if you're riding sensibly and they don't have automatic plate recognition etc

fair shout but another grand of taxes is stacked on the price making it economically unviable to import.

That's what they go for here locally.

>>17733614
yeah I feared as much.
even for private sales though? that's a dick move but I heard austrians do the same.

>>17733616
really no difference between the two.
It's like 19.8% over the remaining list price minus 210 so that's roughly 1420-210. Same for whatever type of sales.

Bikes are a bunch cheaper though in Germany but it only adds up if you import like a 20k machine after like 5 or 7 years or so. Or are a boomer faggot and want a decked out BMW for a the price of a bare bones one.

If everything goes well I will get my license in a month.
Should I go for a Yamaha Tenere 3AJ or a Suzuki GS 500 E?
I prefer the Yamaha but the high seat position and the 42000km on the tacho make me rethink my choice.
The Suzuki has only 17000km and is 500€ cheaper and seems to be in better condition.

>>17734341
The GS500 is objectively the best beginner bike.
> mileage
It's a mid-sized 4stroke twin cylinder bike, so it drinks less than 6 liters per 100 km.
> handling
It handles nothing like a supersport, spoiling you for when you get something else. But it can also corner much better than something like a cruiser, and actually uses its entire rear tire unlike a Ninja 250.
> brakes
They are complete shit and their only redeeming feature is that they're disc brakes. This is good because the longer braking distance forces new riders to plan ahead and start braking early. No ABS means they learn to brake properly I'd they don't want to get shrekt.
> power
It sits right at the power limit for A2 bikes which is great for euros. It's torquey enough to be faster off the line than most cars you'll encounter in the city. But it also feels relatively gutless so a) it's forgiving of mistakes and b) you can ride it at the limit without putting yourself into too much danger. It reaches up to 180 km/h which is fast enough for highway riding.
> carbs
It being carbed means that if you run into problems, you can learn to fix them yourself instead of heading to the mechanic every time.
> seating position
Upright, slightly forward means it's a neutral riding position so you can figure out what you want afterwards. The seat is relatively uncomfortable making literally every other bike after it will feel like heaven on your ass.
> price and availability
Parts and the bikes themselves are cheap and plentiful. If you crash and fuck up one of your fairings it's 40 euros to replace it with original parts. Engine needs little maintenance. Beginner riders are typically not financially independent, so this is a big plus for them.
> suspension
It's a budget suspension factoring into the overall low cost of getting a GS 500. If you want better suspension it's easy to swap. Therefore it gives beginners an opportunity to learn working on suspension while keeping the cost manageable.

At risk of sounding like a faggot, it's not something that can really be described, it's just a feeling you get when you sit on the bike and hit the button, some bikes have it, others don't, the GS doesn't have it.

How am I supposed to know if I dirt bike suspension is performing well or not, if I haven't tried other suspension for comparison. When people get suspension overhauls do they just hand it over to the tuner and say "make it gud" or do they come in with an idea of what they need done?

Front end deflects off every rock. It feels super soft up top then about half way down it turns rock hard. I'm not sure but judging from the mud collection on my forks I don't think I'm using the whole stroke.

>>17734641
Sounds like you need progressive springs and maybe a thinner oil

>>17734607
Does it bottom on anything but massive hits? If you grab the front brake and compress the suspension and let it go does it go straight back to the neutral position or bounce around a lot? How far does it compress when you sit on it?

>>17734641
Sounds like my bike.
I turned my front suspension to full soft. Still deflects like mad.
Only thing i can think of is im not heavy enough for the springs

>>17734648
doesn't bottom out. springs right back to neutral position. rear sag set to 100mm with my weight. I don't know if the front drops down any unless I grab the brake.

Follow through a little more on the shift. Or adjust the shift lever height.
If you want a taller gearing, start playing with sprockets.

>tfw still spending less than if I bought a ninja650

>>17734765
taller gears will probably help your fuel mileage at least

If I want to get taller gears on my bike do I need to change both sprockets or can I just change the rear

>>17734816
1 tooth on the front is equal to 3 on the rear.
So front is usually recommended if you have the room

>>17734816
Changing the front will be more effective, changing the rear can be more nuanced
Change both i'd you want to keep the same chain length

>>17734826
>>17734825
I'm not the anon that asked a while back about gearing ratios, but I have a 500f which I think has the same engine as his bike, and mine's up in the revs at highway speeds too and it's only making about 50 miles to the gallon.
I just want better mileage

>>17733205
Wash your rims

To all the noobs who had the same problem as me and haven't found a solution; here's how you keep your fucking chain from shitting all over your rims. Wipe off exess lube after after lubing the chain and don't ride the fucking bike until the next day. Also, to clean chain lubricant and brake dust off your rim, use WD-40. Spray it on a cloth, and not directly on the rim, as you don't want that shit anywhere near your brakes and your chain. (I know other things dissolve the gunk even more effectively, but some of those eat away at my paint, but WD-40 didn't, while still being effective) I know this is elementary for most of you, but for the newbies, this might just help out. I know I suffered with this shit for months, and I'm really happy to have found a solution

What year KTM some of the forks were harsh as fuck ( 03-05 ) and there wasn't a whole lot a normal person could do without getting into a revalve.

First things first, respring it for your weight, use the calculator on racetech website to figure out what you need, be honest on your use/skill level.

Use the recommended oil weight by the manufacture, you can be a nigger and " fix " one issue with a heavier/lighter oil but then you have issues everywhere else.

Put the clickers in the factory recommended settings. Write that shit down and put on a little card in your wallet.

Set the sag to recommended values.

Now you have a proper baseline, and you can now fuck with the clickers to see if it's better or worse. Here is the important part, you wrote it down and can always go back to your baseline if it's all wrong after you fuck with it.

Harsh when you hit a bump or dives hard on the brakes, this is comp ( compression )

Bike gets lower and lower after multiple hits or feels like a pogo stick, this is rebound

When you get it to where it feels halfway decent put a ziptie on the lower forks and slide it all the way up to the mud scraper, go for a ride and use it about as hard as you normally would ride. if you have your airgap right the ziptie should be about 1/4 to 1/2 inch from the bottom of the travel. If not you will have to add/subtract oil from inside the forks to get it there. Take out oil if it's not moving enough, add some if it's bottoming. It doesn't take much ( 5cc at a time ) to make a big difference.

After going through that which is easily accomplished by an owner who isn't afraid to turn a wrench, you either have an acceptable setup at that point or you need to talk to a tuner about a revalve.

The 04's were the 3 bushing forks, you can mod them to 2 bushing and it helps. There is a how to on KTM talk for them, I did it to my 03s forks and it's pretty simple. clickers don't work because who ever had them apart before you didn't get the top cap all the way down on the dampner rod when he put the spring back in, it's an easy fix just by assembling them properly, and you'll be 99% of the way there when you change the oil.

>>17735046
One more thing, don't put a dime into those with a tuner, it's just throwing away money. Buy some used newer WP forks on Egay for about the same money a good tuner would charge you to make them almost as good as later forks. Off those to recoup a little cash. But like I said, just doing the basics ( oil change, remove one bushing, drill one hole, assemble correctly ) will do wonders for what you have.

>>17735113
stfu hans. i don't want to be a road kill.

>>17735114
Lol I fucked up the clickers when I changed the fork oil myself. I made sure to line up the rod and screw in the cap all the way but I can just turn the clicker to the right indefinitely. I even went back and took it apart to make sure to assemble properly but still no luck. I thi K something is fucked up at the bottom of the fork because the clicker pushrod has no springiness to it.

I'm confused how bike physics work

Do you manually lean your body into the the correct direction when taking a curve, or is the bike doing that on its own

because logic tells me if you're taking a left curve, the bike should lean to the right, because centrifugal forces and shit

yes, you have to lean the bike into the corner to balance the centripetal force with the downward force of gravity. That's why you have to initiate a turn by countersteering.

>>17735195
the curved profile of the tire is what causes the bike to turn when you lean the bike over, you lean the bike over by pointing the wheel in the opposite direction than you want to turn which causes the bottom of the bike to kick out in the direction the wheel is pointed, this leans the bike over into the turn.

You don't have the big black plastic thing spun down enough IIRC, it makes the little rod not reach the needle down in the bottom for the clicker to work, my 525 was the same way when I got it, simple fix ( I'm pretty sure that link describes it ).

>>17735236
>By newer WP forks do you mean from a later RFS model (05-07) or one of the newer generations?


Yes, pretty much anything up to 2016 has the same axle size and is a 48mm WP. They can be had pretty cheap with a little looking, don't forget that Husaberg from 06 and on has the same axle and 48mm.

>>17735263
It's on page 3 of the topic, post #22, shows what you did wrong and why your clicker doesn't work.

well that was terrifying

>>17735189
The meme answer is Suzuki GS 500. It's cheap, it's very mediocre but it's cheap.
The Kawasaki ER-5 is a step up from that. The Honda CB 500 is the best out of the carbed 500 cc twins of the Nineties / early 2000s. The CB (and I think the ER) are a little over 35 kW unrestricted, but they've been used as learner bikes for going on 20 years so plenty of restricted ones should be floating around.
If you want something more offroad-worthy, the Kawasaki KLE-500 seems to be praised. It has the same engine as the ER-5.

do electronic speedometers need to be recalibrated after a gearing change?

>>17735337
>>17735189
Oh and if you don't like carburettors, the CB 500's successor is the CBF 500 (made from 2004 - 2008). Same engine, but fuel injected and even better ergonomics. Probably a bit more expensive but definitely worth it. Don't get confused by Honda's naming scheme -- there's also the CB 500 F (the newest successor, it's fat and slow and expensive) and a CBR 500 R (faired variant of the newest CB 500 F).

>>17735459
From like 250 km/h onwards the wind will keep you in position, very relaxing.

>>17735462
Sounds like a good way to die


I'm buying one

>>17735467
Oh 250 km/h won't kill you but the tree you hit after losing control when you power wheelie at 250 will.

New to bikes here. My dad is a retro bike veteran, though. I think I inherited the appeal to retro bikes. The modern bike look doesn't suit me. Pic related is what I want to get in the future.

you have great tastes
I hate how people call Standards "retro bikes" when they're not retro at all, they're just neutral and don't have an overly aggressive look, common to bikes from pre-1985 making people THINK they're retro-styled

The honda cb1100, the honda cb1300, cb919, the yamaha xjr1300 and xsr900, all beautiful and commonly overlooked bikes

I can't wait to get one

It's a different type of motorcycle, though.

If you look though the videos where the engineers talk about it you'll see them not giving a fuck about speed or performance, and instead caring about how fun and tasteful it feels to ride it.

'People think that a big engine should rev to high speeds and be very powerful but there's more to it than that, blah blah blah blah blah.'

They specifically threw the camshaft out of balance so it would feel like out times ffs.

Well, I think it was the camshaft. Either way, you get the point.

>>17735296
is rebound the clicker at the top? I thought compression was at the top. Anyway the top is the one not working.

>>17735692
Sounds awfully like something Hurly-Dervidson would do.

We could have made the motor really good, but we didn't because you know old times.

>>17735711
Except it is a good bike. It doesn't shake itself to bits, it has good fit and finish, etc.

With Honda you can either get fast nakeds (cb1000r, cb650F) or old timey/classy standard ones (cb1100, cb1300). They're yet to do a mix of both.

>>17735727
I would hardly call the 1300 old timey

That is rebound, I know it doesn't make any sense but it is what it do.

And that is the one that is the easy fix. With a tiny bit of thought you could do it without even pulling the forks off the bike.

If the wing arm of my frame appears to be siting to one side by about a centermetre does that mean my frame is bent?
