I just finished rebuilding the engine completely and once it was back together learned that 1 of 3 oil seals has gone so all 3 need to be replaced and one of the seals i need to replace requires cracking the case, no bearing puller and it will be a $1500 job in a shop so its sitting in my dads shed not doing anything, so is this thing which i could probably get off him if i found a couple grand lying around.

>>13986045
So it is true, WD 40 can be used for literally anything, even a replacement shock, truly amazing.

>>13986077

Pretty good, but I wouldn't buy one new. For the price of one you can get a nice 600 that's a few years old that you can learn to maintain and won't be afraid to drop it. 600s are perfect for beginner riders IMO.

>>13986077
it's fine. its wise if you buy it used, though, because you'll probably want to get rid of it after a few months, and you get most, if not all of your money back.

Hey that 450 did well over 15,000km on a single piston and rings which both could have gone back in the bike when it was rebuilt, The only thing that was actually worn was the piston sleeve which needed to be re plated.
Considering most dirt bikes only make it around 5000km before needing a top and bottom end rebuild i think ktm's are fairly reliable.

May just be because i know for a fact that the "lol unreliable ktm" meme comes from the 2004-2007 4 strokes which is something i would never buy.

i started on a ninjette too. got rid of it after like 3 months. not sorry about it though. it was a learner bike and that's what i was doing on it. at the time, i probably would have fucked up on a 600, but a 650 would have been manageable .

Its a dirt bike lol, 15,000km is 500+ hours of riding, most bikes last 100 hours before needing at the very least a new piston and rings, possibly a crank and a timing chain.

Things like a DRZ 400, no that will last a good 100,000km before needing a rebuild, something like my 450 though which essentially has the same engine as the 450sx-f only with 6 gears instead of 4 should be re built every 100-150 hours (at least piston and rings) because they will need it

I'm 5.9 tall but seems like every summer pant I click on Revzilla is shit because of fitting issues or whatever.

Same deal with those bikes i do 5-10 hours before an oil change and a new oil filter on mine, bikes like the CRF450X, KLX450, WR450F, KTM 450EXC-r, etc are all race bikes just for endurance racing instead of a few laps around an mx track (bigger fuel tank, longer gear ratios, softer suspension for absorbing bumps and electric start is the basic difference)

>>13986354

Shipping from Revzilla is more expensive. $70 to ship a pair of boots. Add a helmet and it's $90

Amazon used to ship to my country but there are restrictions about what can you buy and what you can't.
So many asshats didn't know about the restrictions and Amazon just shipped whatever they bought, only to get the package lost at customs and a chargeback from CreditCardCo because the idiot that bought the stuff in the first place, left it at customs and complained as not received.
Amazon got pissed and said fuck this, now they don't ship to the third world.


So.. about the pants? or what is wrong with that gear selection?. I like that helmet since I ride a dualsport.

650r, had it for a bit over 2 years now the shifting problem just started about a week back not really noticable at first but it seems to have trouble going into the last gear at top revs, probably didnt keep the oil in check,

propper bike tho never had an issue other than that and its street legal witouth blinkers and mirrors

>>13986588
Mostly the problem is that I think the piston rings and gaskets are fucked. The carb also needs to be tuned. Other than that the engine sounds strong and everything else is in perfect working order, even if it looks a bit rusty here and there. I figured if I gave em like 4 or 500 bucks that'd be good, but obviously it varies from place to place. I just don't wanna tear apart my engine and then fuck something up further. I can handle maintanance tasks like cleaning the carb, changing the oil, shit like that- but a full engine rehaul is beyond my scope and schedule right now.

People disagree with me but I'm a firm believer in 600s. My first bike was my 450R and learned fine even though everyone was giving me shit saying I wouldn't be able to control it. Also, after seeing my friend tell me a week after buying his ninjette that he should have started on a 600 made me hold this position. I think 600s/750s are great starter bikes that you really learn the ins and outs of maintenance and you can keep them and not get bored of them. I would suggest getting one at least 6 years old that you can beat on and not really care about.

what kind of glove liners do you guys use? i live in commiefornia so i don't really need heated grips, and i don't want to buy a winter pair of gloves when i just need a little bit of wind protection sometimes. it would be nice to be able to use the liners as a standalone glove as well, so i was thinking maybe some running gloves? they might be too thick though.

To be honest bro I went to the 99 cents store, found those things people put on their car with antlers on the windows, the nose itself had wire in it and I threaded it through the fairing and tied it. the antlers, I'm gonna snap off the white plastic bits and zip tie them to the mirror stems.

Then I found some silly hat for the helmet, I'll figure something out for that later

Most of that was done by previous owners before I bought the bike

>>13986955
Thanks bro. I like your style not going to lie. I currently have my girlfriend outfitting my helmet with a Santa hat. She has to sew and all that shit but it'll look nice. I like the red fluffy thing on the nose too. How well does your hat hold up at high speeds?

It's fun, but it's shit because there are much better bikes out there and it doesn't even live up to its reputation. It constantly needs work. They cost a ridiculous amount because the DRZ is a meme. It's slow. It's heavy. The carb doesn't work right.
I've been wanting an EXC or WR or XRR as an upgrade.

The only mod I really want right now is the FCR39, but fuck spending $600 on a mod for this bike.

I'm not tired of supermoto, but this bike isn't ideal.

I already have knobbies and street-sport tires. I'm getting DS tires to replace the knobbies this month.

I've had it for a year now.

damn that is quite a few repairs. i haven't heard any of those problems as being characteristics of drz repair though. did you buy a poorly maintained one / lemon? it's inevitable there will a few repairs needed when buying a used bike. can you attribute anything to the previous owner?

also, the ktm and yamaha you mentioned have somewhat frequent maintenance, and the ktm will obviously have a higher cost for pretty much everything it needs. worth it?

thanks for the info, i'm not moving goalposts or anything. i know the drz is a fat pig, so i'm not justifying for it. i would love a husqvarna fs 450 or a ktm 690 smcr but the drz is what is affordable for me right now.

that laundry list reminds me of this beast I used to own. It was an eighty three and when it can time to replace some carb parts they were unique to that year and could not be found.

Sold it for $500 bucks as a non-runner which was $150 less then I bought it for.

>>13987157
Yeah it was neglected but I bought it anyway because I was retarded and excited to get a bike. Most of it was fixing shit that the PO fucked up. A couple of things were probably my fault (snapped clutch cable).

Several of those are characteristic of the DRZ though. Leaky water pump, counter-shaft seal leaking, needing frequent oil changes.

I doubt one of those other bikes would be much worse than this lemon if I bought smart. Don't consider the DRZ your only option though. They tend to have high prices for used bikes just because it's a memebike and people will buy them anyway.

Are 250cc learner bikes all pretty much the same?

I've been looking, mostly at sports bikes, and i've seen only a few other than the CBR Ninja Across trinity of regular learner bikes in my searches, and the ones i have seen are just slight variations on these. is it mostly an aesthetics thing?

My next bike I'm thinking about a sumo but do you simply buy a dual sport and then buy sumo tires, or does each manufacturer make their own that fits a specific bike? Anything else you need to change?

>>13987955
You can get a dual sport and add 17" wheels and street tires and a larger brake, maybe some suspension work if you are really into it. Factory sumos are fine too but I like dual sports so if I were making a sumo I'd just have a dual sport with a second set of sumo wheels.

Pretty much. The two most popular choices for factory Supermotos are DRZ 400s and WR250s. BMW also makes a 650. You can also do what I did and start with
>>13987347

And just convert it yourself. Keep in mind you need a way to get it titled for the Street and the conversion is not cheap, so you want to make sure you get the bike cheap. I picked the Warp 9s up custom made for about 1100, but the accels are a bit cheaper.

Sumos are in my opinion some of the most fun you can have on a bike in my area. Great for urban exploring and you can take it off road too.

Ok interesting, I don't think I'd have money for a factory sumo because everyone marks them the fuck up on craigslist (the few that i've seen) and obv not going to buy new. That being said, yes I'd probably get a dual sport with a second set of wheels.
>>13987978
Get it titled for the street? Are you saying I'd have to get an inspection after the conversion? Or if I bought an already street legal dual sport I'd be fine? Yes, they do look like great fun.

Sumos are really popular so prices are pretty high for them. You'll have a better overall bike with a DS and 2 sets of wheels. Good luck m8

I bought a CRF 450r, which is an off road only vehicle and it says that on the title, which means you can't register it for street use. The guy I bought it off of said the previous owner lived in Vermont and there you can register them for street use. I live in NJ so there is no motorcycle inspection. I just did the conversion and made sure I have a headlight, tail light, signals, and brake. Dual sports should be fine to just throw on a set of wheels.

And all of them use essentially the same high performance engine.
You are thinking of something like a KLX250 as a motard, they won't die. Using a race bike as a dd would just be silly unless you have too much money.

How are yz426? Looking at a 2000 street legal one right now for 3150. The bike was completely rebuilt and the guy overbored it to 450 with a new wiseco piston. Is this worth it or will it be too maintenance heavy?

if its a YZ not a WR itll suck for any cruising around due to it having a close ratio gearbox.

>source; i own one

>>13988055
You do realise the only major difference between the engine in that bike and this bike is that bike has a 6 speed gear box instead of a 5 speed right?
Heck the bikes are essentially identical with the WR having softer suspension, electric start, a bigger fuel tank and a head light, they even make the same amount of horsepower if you put the same muffler on both bikes.

Idk how many times i have to tell people bikes like the WR450 are endurance race bikes designed to be doing a day of riding before being rebuilt lol, The engines are built to be light and powerful not reliable at a constant RPM doing thousands of kilometers down a highway which is why they require to be maintained to regularly. Ya get a DRZ400 or something along those lines if you want a motard, things are some of the most reliable bikes ever built because they were designed to be that way unlike a RMZ450 engine for an example which will blow up after maybe 150 hours of riding if it is not well maintained.

Yes, wheelies and hooning is what I will be using it for. I don't mind the oil changes and such, just don't want to do engine rebuilds every 5000km. The thing has turn signals but no headlight or speedometer so I will still need to add those.

But yes, they have the same engine, you can swap the internals from a YZ450f into a WR450 engine.

What headlight/speedo kit is that? Cruising will generally be for 40 mins back and forth between school at an avg speed of 100-110km/h. I know these bikes need constant rebuilds so I am kind of worried for the engine blowing up.

>>13988137

The YZ426 is an MX bike so it will be maintenance intensive. I rode one and it would not keep the front down. On pavement it would power wheelie in 4th gear. Granted it was not stock but I've heard similar about stock bikes.

>>13988142
trailtech x2 headlight with a vapor dash.
the YZ would be a bad choice for that
a close ratio box means you have a tall 1st and short 5th.
so to keep it from revving out at highway speeds you have ot gear it so high it would be useless in surface streets.
when i got mine the first gear was pretty tall, for traffic use but it sat at 6-7k at 45mph
with the WR transmission in the same bike with the same gearing 6-7k rpm puts me at 65-70mph with a nice low 1st
youd also be looking at weekly oil changes and monthly valve checks to keep on schedule

>>13988129
that pipe is awsome

>>13987832
I don't like the tool marks you left and the corners are fuck3d up. Just my autism m8. That flat bar is wider than what I would use for your chain picture frame

>>13988167
Errm are you looking at an old wr250 and a new yz250f lol?
They both have rear mounted exhaust ports.
Both of the older bikes have it the normal way too.
Idk why you think they would build an entirely new engine for the same bike with a different set up for a different kind of dirt racing.

>>13988166
Yea, Tiger 800. I love it, but sometimes wish it had slightly more oomph. That 1050 is pretty sweet, and I'm sure you're loving it.

>>13988184
Ah I used a rough rasp tool in a die grinder to cut the relief for the fan and to clean up some bits. It gets away occasionally and leave marks. The bends are pretty meh but I just put the bar in a vice and bent it by hand so they aren't ideal. I'll give ya that one.

Overall I'm happy with it. Would be cleaner if I painted it or something but I don't care that much, I just want it to hold well.
