You're gonna love it. Pic related is my only ride, I'm a nocar. It's cheap as shit to run and insure and I get 70mpg running stock. Looks like he put a heat shield on the stock exhaust and moved rear indicators back, probably for saddlebags. You can check under the seat if he cut a hole in the air box or rejet but with stock exhaust, maybe not.
Make sure you keep up on oil changes and check your oil level when you refuel. If you ride the highway for extended periods it'll likely burn oil. It'll handle 65 no problem. 70-80mph in short bursts.
Also to properly check oil, the bike has to be warmed up. If you do it cold you get a false low reading. You can get a gallon of Rotella diesel motor oil for $13 at Walmart, it has the right rating/specs for wet clutches and it's good in air cooled engines.

arrow won't hurt the resale, it's probably the best bet for that. There's even an oem map that you can get flashed specifically for it at the dealer (ecu's are locked from tuneecu on thet 13+ model years, so otherwise you're using a power commander).

>>17754297
Shaft for comfy low maintenance
Chain for power

>>17754317
Headers too? If so I'd go for it

>>17754297
Chain, shaft has its pluses, but it's really not worth the weight and power loss, belt is a meme.

hell yeah dawg, thanks for the info. Any other tips I should know? issues he mentioned on that bike particularly is he's selling it without a battery, and the tachometer is whacky and the needle just goes all over the place. Also says the horn is dead but probably because no battery?

>>17754346
Slipons shouldn't need a remap. That's in normal ECU automatic adjustability range

>-30% power loss (probably more)
How do you get 30% power loss if a bike has 85hp at crank and 80hp at the wheel, with a shaft? -30% would mean 60hp at the wheel.

>>17754398
Couplings, mostly
It's why you should use a longitudinal engine, using only one right angle coupling vastly reduces power loss

>>17754391
>he thinks aftermarket cans do anything other than reduce weight and change the sound
Lmao, you rural retard

>>17754407
Do you know any bike with shaft, without a longitudinal engine?

Also, please explain the 30% loss meme with the figures I gave.

>>17754416
K1200/k1300 were shaft i4s with big power loss in transmission

>>17754421
So it's not exactly the shaft, but the transition in movement direction.

>>17754416
Super Tenere. I've never heard the 30% power loss figure either, in my experience it's usually about 20%, but that is with a longitudinal engine so he may be right.

>>17754437
Im not the original poster you were replying to, but yes you will always lose more comparatively to an opposed twin

Honda's Shadow 750 is exactly that.
So is the Vulcan 750 as a matter of fact.

>>17754458
Manageable actually. Only occasionally need to wipe some gunk off my rearsets, the rest stay clean.

As long as you use "their" oil at least, don't know how other stuff fares.

Worth it for me, I ride daily.

>>17754477
What about the wheel and tire?
I've considered the Scottoiler in the past but it seems like a good way to get things dirty.
I prefer chain wax as well

>>17754530
No oil on wheel and tire, at least none I ever noticed.
I chose this over the scottoiler because you don't need to hook anything up, it works with some weird hydraulic/magnetic mechanism.

How is chain wax? Never heard of that

>>17754531
Half the people here are nobikes so you fit right in.

>>17754353
Sounds like some basic electrical problems stemming from that missing battery. The bike will run without it but to get the other electrics working you'll either want to get a battery or use a capacitor in its place. I forget the specs on the capacitor but these bikes are old enough that every possible problem has been discussed online.
If the tach is still wild after you replace the battery, maybe some wires have broken somewhere. That's typical since a lot of them are exposed and get bent over time.

But it looks so much nicer. Now I'm worried that I'll spend too much on my first bike, where I could spend more on gear.

Is it safe to just pull like a madman on the muffler side? The header is still on the engine. I dont want to fuck up the mounting spot

>>17753434
Late reply but it's been super reliable desu. Main issue with my model is that kickstand is mounted to the oil pan, so it tends to jiggle loose after about 10 years.

well nuts are a stupid idea but can be replaced with epoxy and a part listed on the forums for like $10

Electronics are great as long as you don't crash. Mine have a random short from hitting the headers during my last crash. Other than that it's been bulletproof. Always starts up and rides.

>>17755121

Any other downsides?

>>17755159
Actually you may bend the header depending on how stuck it is. Hold onto the header right near where it meets the muffler and then wiggle the muffler back and forth till it loosens up. You could try prying those tabs up too, not sure if that would help at all. You a new drz anon?

Aftermarket cans can definitely worsen the fuelling.
This is a well-known fact.

>>17755333
If you don't get the bike tuned then yes aftermarket cans aren't helping anything other than noise production but you are a fucking moron if you think stock cans offer the best performance.

stock cans have to work within noise and pollution regulations, aftermarket cans do not meaning the aftermarket can is going to offer more performance if the engine is tuned to use it.

>>17755333
Unless the can is complete poo poo the bike can adapt through usage of the O2 and lambda sensors on a modern ECU - there just isn't that much of a change. If you remove the cat in the headers that's another story

The stock exhaust on the Striple / Daytona aren't bad. They sound good and look better than a lot of other stock exhaust. I would just keep it stock, but if you really want the arrow go for it.

>>17754300
lol no. So a Ducati fit with Termignoni would hurt the resale? Stawp.
Yoshi pipes on the other hand are wack af. If I was going to get a can it would be an Akrapovic, Arrow, Competition Werkes or Termignoni

>>17754531
All you need to wear for the MSF course is a helmet, gloves and a long sleeve shirt. You're going to look like a dweeb in full gear going 10mph around a parking lot.

Also 650L is a shit bike. 650R is where its at, but for real there are a lot of better dualsports. Do some more research.

>>17755535
Yup, I was thinking about the mrd but this wouldn't take a month to arrive and is quieter.

>>17755683
I've done my research, i actually wanted the R at one point, amd may still get it, but it's more likely I'll end up with the L.

You've never even ridden the L, youre just spouting memes you've read on the internet.

You dont know what my state's course requirements are.

Thanks for the worthless post nigger boy.

>>17755683
>10mph

We went 30 for the "ride in a circle" part. I didn't regret wearing gear.

Anyone here ever have a bike stolen? How did you handle the situation? And did you ever get it back?

My FZ6 got jacked last night. Literally the day after I fix the water pump and get it a new battery. I woke up this morning and it was just gone. I don't live in a shady place or anything like that, so it was a huge shock to me. It was my first bike too

>>17755736
Did you have compre coverage and did you at least have it chained up?

>>17755736
I'm sorry friendo. That is my biggest fear

>>17755736
>Anyone here ever have a bike stolen?

>call insurance co
>gave keys and signed title over to insurance co

>>17755748
Did not have it chained up, because I'm a naive moron for thinking I'd be safe. And only myself and my bike insured in case of a crash, not theft.

I'm sure there's a lesson for me to learn here.

>>17755701
srs? You don't even know how to ride. LOL.

I have ridden the 650R, CRF650L and CRF250L. Both bikes are shitty. I made the mistake of getting the CRF250L as a starter bike, can't wait to sell it.

>>17755714
The parking lot I was in was small we went like 15 tops. Im happy I didn't wear a jacket, long sleeve was just fine.

>>17755775
Is this a real thing? Would it impact my insurance rates? Because I doubt the police will do anything about it, and that might be my best bet. At least to have a bit of cash for another bike. And anti-theft measures.

>>17755836
Meant XR650L it's in the same class as the CRF250L... pretty much.

The R model is massively praised not the L. Also the ninja 300 is also massively praised it's a shit bike. Get over it lol.

I bought the CRF250L because it was cheap af, I learned a lot even though I got bored with it.

CRF250L = 4k
WR250R = 7K

Anyways I upgraded to a 600 and will be selling the 250 and getting a yz250

Watching hard enduro races, most are 2-strokes. They still have a weight advantage.

depends what you like, 2 strokes take more energy to ride but are lighter and more nimble in tight sections.
most people who haven't ridden them before can't get over them not having any engine braking so are never as fast on them though.

get a storage unit or look for a local community garage theres a couple here in philly that will charge you like 400 bucks for winter storage but its in a heated garage and fully insured.

if you live on the first floor of anything and its possible to roll it just drain all the fluids and park it inside on a tarp

or you could look through your local craigslist and see if anyone is renting out space in a heated garage (this is more common than you would think) what city is this?

My gf wants to sell her ninja 300 but it has fucking 28000 km (About 20k miles)

How not to do it: Bike is cool, you are uncool
How to do it: You are cool, bike is understated

First, get fancy leather gear and an expensive looking helmet so you can look cool. And be cool. Perf leather is based.
Second, learn to actually talk to people so you can act cool.
Then, git gud so you can look cool when in motion.

>>17755952
No fuel filter stock, so every ninja 500 owner ever has experienced plugged jets or gummed up floats and slides at one point or another. There's a kawasaki part that drops into the rail. Install ASAP and this is a non-issue, but you'll probably want to clean the carbs first before a wad of 8 year old gas gum makes its way into the main jet or blocks the float needle.
Really shitty fucking headlight, especially compared to sportbikes that light up both "eyes". Bake it and put in a projector kit, don't ride at night, or tack aftermarket driving lights to the forks.
Swingarm adjustment marks are actually known to be off quite a bit, if you can even see them in the first place.
Kawasaki build quality. It is a budget model and they used the same design from 1997 onwards. Had one, developed several small oil leaks. And please do grease the suspension regularly if it's not already creaking. Every moving part on the chassis is undergreased even by kawasaki standards.
The front fairing is a royal bitch to get on and off without scratching fucking everything, and if you're thinking of remedying that, the bike looks like absolute shit naked due to the design of the tank (which shifts around and can be lifted up a bit sans fairing, because the fairing is part of what holds it onto the frame)

Tldr don't fucking buy it unless it's <$1500 or some cheap price

From the jump, any Honda is a better idea.
The sufour is truly a great bike, but if you can't afford it take a look at the CB500F instead. You'll save a lot of frustration with something more reliable. And maybe a little money, with better gas mileage.

Currently divorcing my dad.
But already has a sugar daddy. Which I'm totally cool with, he's trying to buy my approval.

Are you supposed to clean/lube the drive sprocket when you're doing the chain/rear sprocket? Are fine metal particles in my waste oil cause for concern? Does Bruno Mars is gay?

How do you like it? I'm thinking of buying one as a second meme bike in a year or two

i get that its a stupid ass looking bike but I also get a lot of gixxer stunt faggots asking me if I want to sell it for like $2000

Maybe one in 10, and almost always it's some teenager in his civic asking how fast it goes, or some old guy who "didn't know Triumph made crotch rockets."

The Grom is the same way. I'm in the military and I am always the cause of traffic being held up at the gate because guards want to play 21 questions about it.

>>17756455
its fun and gets good gas mileage. The seat is a lot more comfy than the grom and if you're a wheelie douche the Z125 comes up a lot quicker than the grom does. The only thing I like more about the grom is the brakes are a lot better. The Z has a gear indicator and an actual physical tac if any of that matters to you

>>17756449
No, just little stuff.
Some bike parts, ramp, george foreman grill.
Paid for my gas when I was back home.
I don't live near them so I can't get too much.
But I'm playing the long game. His life expectancy after the job he had is like 5 years, he retired recently. So I'm just waiting for him to keel over and my mom gets all the money.

Got it a lot more with my old 02 sv650 than I do now with my fz09

Maybe because I shaved head so look kind of less approachable now though.

>>17756467
Question, where do you put your cac so you access it quickly when you get to the gate.
I normally have it in the little space under the knuckles but I'm always worried it'll fall out, hasn't yet.

>>17756488
>not putting your CAC in a breast pocket

>>17756488

I put it in the right front pocket of my jacket. I don't bother shifting into neutral, I just pull up, keep the clutch in with my left hand, and use my right to unzip the pocket and get my CAC out.

If I'm not wearing a jacket, then I tuck it into my left glove at the wrist.

>>17756490
If I'm not wearing my riding jacket, which I normally do, it's ok.
It's always a bitch for me to put back in with the gloves, still much quicker in my glove pocket.
If I'm wearing the jacket, that's not an option

>>17756493
>wrist
I'm an idiot, that actually seems pretty good.

I tried the jacket pocket, but it sits too far back to access quickly, and I have trouble feeling it with the gloves.

>>17756488
>cac
ok whats a cac

>>17756414
Thanks pal
The ad is listed for $1500 but that's the type of stuff I'm looking for. What is that part that drops into the rail called?

>>17756524
Common Access Card
Military ID

>>17756443
Yeah. I was also looking at the CBR500R and the R3, but I think the CB400 would be the better choice.
I love the full fairing look, but there are too many compromises.

>>17756531
Or if you hear almost anyone say it, a common access card card.

>>17756524
Im guessing for faggots who live in gated communities.

I just keep keys to get into my parkade in my front pocket, and just take off my glove to grab them. Then just sit on your glove and hang the keys on the bars (big loop) until I park.

I normally "prep" my CAC pocket at a light before getting to the gate by slightly unzipping it. Getting the zipper with gloves isn't easy, but partially unzipping lets you just feel for the hole and immediately find the zipper.

>>17756503
Does your riding jacket not have a breast pocket? Mine has zip up breast pockets.

>>17756543
disgusting

>>17756540

>gated communities

AKA military bases.

Navy requires all gear to be worn at all times, especially on base, so riding without a glove on is asking for a base patrol car to pop out right at the gate after the guards told him you're a faggot over the radio.

>>17756543
Street Glides are primarily ridden by younger riders. The old guys ride Ultra Classics.

>>17756545
No. Cheapo textile. Where the breast pocket would be is a zipper air vent.

>>17756549
So much this. Although with the army, if your in uniform, only extras is the helmet and gloves.
I'm on an af base and the gate guards are assholes about gear, once you get inside they don't mind so much. Just rode in a tracksuit the other day with no issues.

The smart guys ride 80's metric super cruisers.

>>17756573
Ah, that's too bad. The glove pocket idea seems pretty good though.

With how many retarded shit happens on the roads around Fort Campbell, you'd think they'd require all the gear. I do laugh though when I see someone wearing the C4T's as their riding boots though.
