the centerstand is on there, there's two bolts that are a bitch to get to underneath that was made extremely easier when tipped on its side.

>>14882654
i guess you're right. I'm sure it's a very capabl, although gutless bike. I considered it before i got my BMW, but it just lacked the power and is rather heavy for it's size

also, 10.000 km means nothing, it's how/when maintenance has been performed, and if the bike has been abused or not

and 2,5k to 3k euros looks like the upper price limit for KLE500s here in germany, most seem to be sold for 1500 to 2000 euros

My bike has been smoking when cold starting and I rev it or when it gets too hot. (Just bought it so need to check fan operation)
It smells sweet so I'm guessing a blown head gasket. Is there any other way that the coolant might be getting into the fuel/oil?

Looking for a sv650 for a first bike, considering this:

http://york.craigslist.org/mcy/5482796808.html

Contacted the guy, says frame has 23k miles, he did an engine swap. says bike was garage kept, and dings were there when he bought it, but he was sure it had "only been layed down". Says he selling only because he wants a 1000RR.

I smell fish, but what do you all think? If i go to inspect it, what should I look for?

>>14883139
Why is it so good?
>inb4 because ur license goes up to 400cc ;^)

>>14883187
no!
Leather should not be cleaned with mineral water or tap water.
You can wash it in a tub or something but get a two or three canisters of distilled water. The leather wont feel brittle afterwards.
If you want to take extra good care of your leather, get some leather oil. You can usually find leather oil at shops for horsemen. (This sounds strange, not sure how to translate it correctly, I mean a shop where people who own a horse buy stuff for it)

>>14883210
How do people fuck up so bad that they need to swap engine at less than 23k miles?

it is the lightest Bandit, with a dry weight of only 163kg or around 360 lbs and revs all the way up to 15000rpm.
And as it was the best bike you could have in japan( they didnt sell big bikes there) it is made verry well, with dual disc brakes front etc.

>>14883244
that shit thast was in there was more water than brake fluid, but you are right. Gloves should be worn.

to play devil's advocate, if this guy got it from someone else and swapped the engine himself, that could be a GOOD sign as to the mechanical integrity of this particular engine. and if he says it was laid down it was most likely laid down (albeit at speed). if it were hit by something or itself hit something at high speed, you would be able to tell. and if it were highsided you would be able to tell. check the frame. small bends are OK (although make sure you test ride that bitch), creases are the opposite of OK. if you have a friend who rides bieks have him ride it for you and tell you what's up. if you on't and you notice anything raising red flags, walk away.

really just look for anything overt that signifies more than cosmetic damage. bikes are generally pretty sturdy and can handle being slid across the ground at speed if they are properly repaired, so don't let rashes or anything like that throw you off.

In a single day I rode it for 13+ hours (16 hour start to finish), from 30°C in Italy to >0°C on La Bonette. Comfy as fuck, coming from a 6'6" fatass. Odometer is currently at 125k~ kilometers. Has never broken down in all that time. Only broken parts due to user error. Very forgiving, decent allrounder. It really doesn't have any weak points when it comes to reliability.

Don't buy it if you want powerwheelies, don't buy it if you dislike a straight up seating position, don't buy it if you're looking to impress the ladies, don't buy it if you're looking to do serious offroading thats not just sand (pic related). Basically, make sure this bike suits your needs. What do you intend to use it for? Where you from anyway?

no, but it's a bad idea. you are far more likely to completely wreck your bike than you are to completely wreck a car, especially as a new rider. and there is the chance that something happens and you get scared and swear off riding altogether and then you're stuck with a bike that might take a while to get rid of, with no transportation.

just get a small-bore learner bike and see if it's for you. put in 6 months and you'll be able to tell if it's going to be something you can stick with over the long term

I picked up a 2005 Piaggio X9 500 a few months ago. Came with a Givi carry case. I've replaced some fluids, oil filter, etc. It's got some fairing damage that I've been wanting to fix, but I've been unsure what to use. Most of the damage is just some top-layer chipping of the plastic. There's a few broken-off parts towards the front that I've kept for when I can repair it completely. Got a spare indicator switch coming in the mail too, since mine is a little nutty.

I'm probably making it sound really bad, but it runs rather well, and I've been having fun on it. Just need to do some fairing repairs and replace that switch when it comes in.

>>14883892
Isn't that a dirt bike? Looks light.

>>14883908
Is that an indicator light above the muffler, or are they around the handlebars?

>>14883908
Those are off an old Suzuki if I'm not mistaken

More like back in one piece, amirite?
Seriously though, it's given me no trouble that I didn't deserve. I broke the clutch by dropping it twice on one side, first one fucked up the bark buster, so I put it in my pack, then put my foot down in some mud that was way deep and it landed on the now vulnerable clutch lever. New lever, new master cylinder seals.

>>14883951
Then when I got this (loud AF) exhaust this happened to the OEM rear indicator
>pic 100% related

>>14883941
Yeah I was lying about it being a scooter. 118Kg, 51hp.

>>14883881
You may want to shy away from the XT if you're that tall, or at least take a test ride. It's already a very heavy bike without a lot of power, with someone your size on it it'd probably have a hard time getting out of it's own way.

>>14883970
I think they are aftermarket?

I found them in my garage (which I inherited off my old man, along with contents) and he's never owned a suzuki afaik. (certainly not in the last 30 years)

They are designed for a fairing mount though. everything turned out better than I expected, and they are less likely to snag on shit now.

Just finally put a gopro mount on my helmet. How long do I need to wait before I go ride with the camera in there? 24 hours?

>>14884041
What do you mean?

>>14884041
I waited a couple of hours

>>14884041
I started using mine immediately.

>>14883992
I was used to really old, light bikes before I got my Piaggio. This thing is 213kg. Light for a maxi scooter, though. It's not a big deal for me, besides backing out of tight corners.
[spoiler] That's how I got a chip in my front fairing. I wasn't even riding it. [/spoiler]

How expensive was the exhaust? Some of those aftermarket pieces can be really expensive.

>>14884041
I waited 24. But I am a coward. Are you a coward? If not, post a webm within the hour. JUST DO IT

>>14884047
>>14884041
Oh, you're talking about the adhesive mount. Wait a day for the adhesive to bond fully, use heat to remove if you need to remove it.

>>14884063
Very tempting.

>>14884067
BUT ITS NOT GOING TO BE NICE OUT TOMORROW

>>14884074
Sucks for you man. If you want the bond to be the strongest, wait the designated time frame instructed on that little piece of paper that comes with the mount. Better than losing it on the highway.

>>14883934
IKTF

my exhaust is no quieter than just the header, but it does sound nicer.

It shoots flames.

It makes me feel happy inside.

yo /dbt/, I can downshift properly under normal circumstances but when I'm braking hard I always end up over revving the engine very slightly so the bike hunches forward a little bit.

wat do?

Gotta love it when old asses don't know how to use CL and fill up an entire row on craigslist with their ridiculous 15k dollar harley.

Gonna let some drops of rain ruin your day? Need some extra wooly socks to keep your feet nice and comfortable in the cold? What are you, a faggot? You like balls? You want to lick balls and get cucked while you watch your wife's daughter get cucked by your son's wife's son? You want that? Or do you want to GET OUT THERE AND RIDE LIKE AN ABSOLUTE HEKTIK #MADMAN

lean forward and let the bike skid.

>>14884086
Practice more. You just need a quick ~1k rpm rev, anon not a half throttle rev. Or you can do it the lazy way and hold in the clutch, click down a gear when you meet the speed requirements, keep clicking down till you get to first at a stop.

>How expensive was the exhaust

Don't know, it came on the bike. I managed to find an OEM one at a wrecker, and I put that at the same time as the indicators to get a warrant.

>>14884105
Pipe is an SB7 if you're interested

>>14884102
Yes I'm practicing, but I seem unable to operate the throttle with precision when squeezing the brake lever hard.

>>14883605
most sfpd bike cops are really nice, spent like 10 minutes talking to a cop who liked my bandit, said he used to own one and is looking to buy one again. I wanted to ask him if we could trade bikes

>>14884105
Nice work. You're lucky things went as well as they did.
>>14884129
I can't find it online. I don't think I could fit in on my bike either way.

That said, mine is pretty quiet. It's a stock muffler, as far as I'm aware.

>>14884143
when braking really hard don't worry too much about rev matching.

>>14884158
>lucky

How? Worst case scenario is putting the oem zorst back on

Am I missing something critical that is endangering me? Srs question

>still plagued by carb troubles
Godammit. I almost bought one off a guy, then he said it didn't have all the parts. Then TWO different people from a forum offered to give me their old take-off carb for free, but neither have followed through and neither respond to my messages anymore.
