Does your left boot get damaged from always pulling up with the top of it?
Does anyone know some good JDM or motorcycle sticker packs?
I fucked up the top of my gas tank and want to cover up the scratches.

After 17 days get my bike from Yamaha. They replaced clutch and basket and and performed recalls on cam tensioner and handlebar mounts. Drive hour home back from dealer. Go on first ride. My oil pan gasket they said they replaced still leaks....mother fucker.

>he fell for the Japanese KTM meme
>>17746857
How did you get it that way in the first place?
>>17746889
Dealer says the the clutch plates were installed out of order from the factory. 2 broke and in turn broke the basket.

Well i actually didnt have a bad ride on the rmx450 today, swear it takes less effort than my 300 to ride despite it weighing about 20kg more.
suspension is too soft and the rebound is just wrong though, hit two big bumps in a row and you nearly go over the handle bars because the suspension doesnt rebound fast enough

No worries! As 4chan demonstrates every day, no matter how repulsive, obese, addled, pungent, or otherwise damaged you are, if you go gay something will fuk you even if you ride a Hyosung.

Copfag here reminding you to
1. Replace your tires so you're not driving on bald.
2. Obey the speed limit so you don't run off the road and crack your head open on a stone fence
3. Wear your fucking gear
4. Receive proper motorcycle training prior to riding

Definitely worth it. Once you move up even to an A2 bike you will lose any attachment you have to whatever you're riding now. Get something like a drz400 or similar and you won't get bored of it in 2 years

On a bike you are an essential part to the function of the machine, and not just because of your input. The bike uses your mass and you use the mass of the bike to control it.
It's like being a part of the machine instead of a pilot

Hypothetically speaking, how btfo could I get if I drove my motorcycle at night while on a permit?
It would only be a quick 5 minute, 10 minute at the most ride from my house to work and back.
Commiefornia Cuck here.
Hey /dbt/ I decided I'd help a friend of mine get his 525 exc running, the bike ran when it was parked 5 years ago. Any advice? I'm assuming I'll just drain the tank, take apart the carb let it soak and put it back together. If the bike starts running I'll throw fresh oil and coolant in. Anything else I should know? What should I look for on the carb to tell if it needs a rebuild.
>>17749312
No. Seriously our roads are 60% tarsnakes and 40% pothole.
We do have some lovely scenic routes tho, bu you are pretty close to some good shit up in NH and VT.
>>17749391
just don't get pulled over
I know guys here who have went years without getting their full licenses without getting caught. Not California, but if they do catch you here the cop will usually make you either call a buddy to haul your bike home, or if he's a dick just call a tow truck.
>>17749398
Clean all the jets, and check that the needle valve works so it doesnt overflow
>>17749432
I drive at the speed limit, and I never do anything crazy. I'm just sick of riding my bicycle to work when I have a faster bicycle sitting in my garage.
One of my coworkers actually doesn't have his license, he just rides. But he's been doing so for years.
(I don't even have a car license)

Is there ever any reason to completely flush the clutch fluid (it's DOT 3) or should I just top it up?

SV650
Woohoo lads! Passed my Mod 2 test today. No longer restricted to a 125 shitbike. Practically, I still am though. Since it will take me a few months to save up for a bigger bike. Not sure what to go for though. I REALLY want a Street Triple but might go for an SV650 instead since they're cheaper and less hooligan. Maybe ride that for a couple of years then go full hooligan with the ST. For what it's worth, I did my training on an MT-07 and wasn't that keen on it. Nice enough bike, just don't think I'd wanna own one.
Unless you fine gents have a better suggestion? No, GS 500 is NOT a better suggestion.
>>17753275
SV is amazing, I love mine a lot but it is a physically small bike.
So if you are a tall dude, it might not be for you.
At least the new one
>>17753230
why do people not carry their critical thinking skills to other tasks
Is it safe for me to look through my sun vizor at the eclipse?
>>17753295
Use your foreskin. Stretch that fucker out.
>>17753300
I'm not Gavin Mcinnes and (((someone))) stole mine
>>17753295
Just don't stare, treat it like looking at the sun without any eclipse, even if you're eyes don't hurt.
>>17753280
I'm a manlet at 5' 6 so it won't be a problem. One thing I'm concerned about with the ST is the seat height. Think I'll definitely be on tippy toes.
>>17753295
ABSOLUTELY NOT. If you want to directly look at it then you need a proper solar filter which blocks 99% of the light. Solar filter + Binoculars is an amazing combination. You can see indiviual sunspots. But you'll probably struggle on such short notice. You might be ok with a bucket of water and look at the reflection but you'd best check if this is safe, I'm not sure. Honestly, it's not worth the risk of your eye sight. You should NEVER look directly at the Sun. Even for a few seconds.
>mfw today I saw that thousands of people are expected to permanently damage their eye sight.
>Despite the vast amount of warnings and common sense.
>People are actually this retarded.
>>17753344
I appreciate your concern but I was mostly meming, I'll probably watch if off a car reflection or something
>>17753352
Fair enough. It's not like you haven't had months of advanced warning. Even years if you're into astronomy. You could have easily made yourself a solar filter and got a pair of binoculars. I'm mad jelly. Enjoy it.

so F4 anon, since im really tempted of getting a Brutale next year, how bad is Agusta reliability really? Did your electronics ever die without any warning or something? How much money did you have to give to the mechanic jews to keep it running?
>>17753434
Lol
>>17753188
You feel it
/dbt/, I have a question
UK anon here, need a cheap first bike. Is it best to go cheap Chinese shit, or stump up a bit extra for a better bike, to be used for the CBT tests and stuff.

I had the option of buying a brand new Lexmoto chinkshit something or other for £1,200 or a 3 year old YBR125 for £1,600. I actually had the lexmoto on order from the dealer but then they phoned me to say there was a major issue with the brakes and they were ordering a replacement bike. This threw up a massive red flag and I immediately cancelled the order and went out next day and bought the YBR for slightly more. Something as big as that on a BRAND NEW bike isn't worth the fucking hassle. These cheap Chink shit will lose their resale value instantly whereas a YBR (or other decent make like Honda etc.) will typically keep it's resale value. You likely won't lose any money when you sell it again in a year. What route are you taking? Direct Acess straight onto an unrestricted license? I'd definitely buy a more expensive quality bike, ride for 3-6 months minimum (I did 12) then go straight into your DAS and sell the bike for almost the same as you paid for it. Chink shit will have likely fallen apart by this point and will be worth half what you paid for it. You're really not saving yourself any money.
>>17753531
250/300's, at least here in the states, hold their value very nicely. If you find the right deal, you can usually get back what you paid, if not more when you're ready to upgrade. I wouldn't go the chinese route, it's like noobs that want to build a cafe from a 70's bike for their first bike. You're going to spend as much time as possible riding, not fixing dumb shit that keeps breaking.
Redpill me on the (old) 390 Duke. What's the maintenance like? Should I buy one even though I'm poor? Or should I get a cheaper bike? I'm worried about maintenance costs, mostly. Insurance seems easily surmountable. And I would like to do some of the maintenance myself. It's part of the reason why I want a bike.
Other reasons are: easy parking, no road toll, I can keep it in my parents' garage during winter, riding bikes is fun.
I live in Norway, btw.

Cheers. I'll save a bit more for a tidy bike then.
>>17753635
you'll thank yourself when you're able to ride it and enjoy yourself without worrying about it taking a shit, and when you're able to sell it when you're done. What are you looking into specifically?
>>17753599
I know.
>>17753600
It's cheaper up front than most of the other bikes in the upper end of the A2 limits. And you get them with lower mileage. Although... that may not be a good sign.
I'm open to suggestions, though. I was considering an older bike because I assume they'll be easy to work on. Like an SR500 or a CB350 or something. But... I'd most likely have to import it, and it probably wouldn't be as fun to ride as the Duke.

>>17753584
No longer need the YBR so I might be tempted to sell it to you for £1,200 if you're close by and interested. I'll probably keep riding it for a few more months until I save for a bigger bike so there's no rush. Not long ago had it's service and has plenty left on the MOT. Passed with no advisories. Even the mechanic commented on what a clean example it is since usually these 17 year old youths thrash and trash theirs. Few scuffs here and there on the exhaust and tank.
You know you don't need a bike for your CBT btw, they'll provide one. I'm not even sure how you could even use your own bike for it since you wouldn't legally be able to ride it from your home to their premises without a CBT in the first place.

I actually had the same thought. CO got somewhat dark.
But then I realised I really don't care enough.
Not to mention when I ride I normally forget to take any pics. Pretty much why all mine are in a parking lot.

I took out my GoPro when I went out, but I forgot to charge it last night, so it died right as it was getting good. I'm pretty miffed about that, but at least I got a picture.

>>17753764
Always consider getting a gopro, but never really want to spend the money. I mean I know you can get an ok one for like $50. But riding for me isn't really about capturing it. Like it's nice to show people but I always forget about that anyway when I'm actually on the bike.

you are precisely the reason I never help harley or dualsport faggots lift their bike up when they eventually drop it at a stop sign because they lack any sort of actual riding ability
