First I replaced the wheel bearings. Then I noticed it needed new swingarm bearings. Then I realized I need new upper and lower shock bearings. Broke the swingarm and got a new one. Then I decided I should replace the airbox so that big crack doesn't let so much dirt in. I had to take the subframe off for that because the airbox wraps around it.

I might take off the forks and put in fresh oil too.

This would be suffering if I didn't have a second bike to ride.

Did you crack the swingarm trying to get the bearings out or was it cracked from riding?

I'm about to do a full teardown on my KLX soon. Gonna refresh all the bearings, rebuild the rear of the frame, probably get it powdercoated, then put in a 351 kit. Should be fun.

2 stroke is shit on the street though. Good on dirt, fun on track, shit for the street.

>>14889255
No, I wear foam earplugs rated at 33db NR under my helmet, I can still hear anything I need to hear on the road, they cut the wind noise out completely though in my already fairly quiet helmet. They also make the drone of my loud exhaust more tolerable.

No, they're just grossly inferior cheap shit. There is literally not a single excuse for using them. A pair of Peltor triflange earplugs is $1.99 at walmart, they last years, and are worlds better. $15 gets you a set of Surefire earpro that is beyond compare.
This isn't the 1950s anymore, get with the times, and stop recommending low quality garbage to people.

>>14889357
Your reusable $1.99 garbage doesn't have as much noise reduction as my disposable foamies, plus I have hundreds of them for a few dollars and can just throw them away when they get dirty and not give a fuck when I lose them.

Are you dumb?

They gave us reusable ear plugs to us in basic, they're shit, break easy, easy to lose and they get disgusting and they pop out with the slightest tug on them. They also don't seal if you don't put them in improperly. I'll use my box of super cheap foam earplugs that work just fine tuning out noise.

>>14889376
Nowhere does OSHA stipulate that cheap piles of shit for ear pro are desirable. They are bottom of the barrel for whats acceptable. They are the $1 yellow plastic hardhat of hearing protection.

>What's wrong with leaving a sealed chain dirty anyway
There is a philosophy that sealed chains will actually deteriorate faster if they are oiled, since for the most part the oil will not reach the rollers and will only capture dirt on the chain to cause havoc. Jdowns rode something like 25k miles on a sealed chain never lubing it on his Super Sherpa riding around Mexico, Central, and South America mostly offroad.

I would still clean it though.

they're outdated and sportbike riders don't look at it which is a rather large target group. And for touring guys it probably looks too sporty.

I think it's best used for long trips and the occasional acceleration kick, you can just put so much miles on it because it's build like a tank. And It still does 0-200km/h in 11-12 seconds compared to a GSXR600 in 10 seconds.

sv650s for sale for 2500 dollars, only problem it seems is that it has a rebuilt status from having the exhaust totalled. Dude bought a brand new exhaust after, but insurance company labeled it "totalled" anyways because replacement would have cost "$1400 from lower fairings, paint and the exhaust".

2500 worth it? I'm thinking little less because of the title status.

I think I'm done fixing this. I fixed a vacuum leak and reverted everything to stock settings and we mostly good.

It still bogs down a bit when full wot below 4500rpms in 5th and 6th gears. If you open the throttle progressively it goes alrite. I don't know if that's part of the F3 magic or there's something else somewhere that can be improved, but as it is right now it's more than enough to kill oneself in the toogay several times over.

Is it really worth buying one with a questionable history when you can get a good one for a little more?

>>14889846
True.. but I doubt I'll find one that's 1000 dollars less than being sold here (3500 for most)

Let's talk helmets real quick, /dbt/. I'm in the market for a new full face but not sure what exactly I'm wanting just yet.

What brands are good for not being stupid expensive?
Graphic helmets or solids?
Should I invest in a mirrored visor or will that been seen as too tryhard (because I like the idea of gold mirrored)
Should I try to stick to muh color scheme or does that not matter in the land of bdt?

And finally, best online retailer? No one in my city has anything exceptional or reasonably priced.

>>14889844
I don't suck at chicks I just wanted to know if it's a myth or not

>>14889864
Get a helmet you like. Check the reviews to be sure it isn't a piece of shit hunk of plastic and you're gold. most helmets under 200 dollars are thin, barely DOT legal, plastic POS that falls apart instantly, so check the reviews.

>If you open the throttle progressively it goes alrite.
Sounds like normal carburator behavior, you could to a plug read if you're feeling anal about it.

>>14889891
You can always change out mirrored for your clears. I'm pretty sure fog/smoked/tinted visors are illegal in most states after dark anyways.

>>14889901
No one I know carries their clear visor with them all the time. That would require extra storage like a tankbag or something,

There's no point in using mirrored or tinted face shields. Just use fucking sunglasses you nitwits. You can put sunglasses in your jacket pocket if it gets dark, way smarter than carrying a fucking extra visor.

If you're spending money on a visor you may as well go all the way and get a transitions face shield. My helmet came with one and it's the best thing since wrestling.

How autism can you get? Mirrored visors look awesome, and theres nothing more important while riding than how you look.

>>14889928
If we're doing day trips (6-8 hours long) we plan a restaurant in to eat and that's it. What would you need a backpack for? We avoid bringing unnecessary extra stuff whenever possible

>>14889951
You think I want to pay 150 dollars for prescription sunglasses I'm most likely going to break? No, bitch, you're dumb. My sun visor was free with my helmet.

>>14889967
do you not have insurance? i have 22/20 and dont need glasses every day. i've got at least 3 pairs of prescription sunglasses cause theyre completely free

>>14889963
I bring snacks, some water and a first aid kit in my backpack, my rides take me out to the woods in KY so I'm not going out empty if my bike breaks down. Plus, I do a bit of hiking on some nice hiking trails. I also get distracted and tend to visit a store to get something I need for home.

- Because you feel like a fighter pilot you can relive Top Gun fight scenes in your head while you ride

Cons:
- Creates a weak point in the shell and may offer less protection
- Makes you remember Goose dying
- Val Kilmer will never be young again

>>14889977
I've insurance, but I still have to pay a bit for glasses, especially for prescription sun glasses. And I need glasses for everything, so I have to get a regular pair which completely takes the "coverage," which leaves me having to pay the rest for another pair.

Yeah but you bring your backpack for hiking/woods, not for riding. A mirrored visor for offraod makes even less sense since there is hardly anyone who can see your face.

I still bring my backpack for most longer rides, even if I don't go hiking. Also I don't take my bike off road, I said I hiked not trail ride. I wear my visor because I swear glass, and it's more comfortable. There's nothing wrong with mirrored/tinted visors. I don't know what you're problem is, but you should get that narcissism fixed.

Wouldn't judge so quick, streetfighter pretty much explains it has been laid down.

Otherwise it looks very clean though, oil change is a given as is carb cleaning since it sat for a while. Both minor things/general maintenance. I would at least look at it.

Just got all of my gear in the mail today and it all fits really nicely. I'm checking out some bikes next weekend and ordered the stuff on Monday but apparently I live like 2 hours away from the warehouse so it's all here already. What kind of stuff should I ask about the bike when I go look at a few? I know what to physically look for, but what about asking about oil changes, maintenance history, how recent the tires are etc.? Anything else to mention? I'm kind of nervous

Suzuki GW250

There are tons of cruiser style bikes, dual sports, and UJM style bikes that would fit you as well.

Browse through the manufacturers websites and cross reference with http://cycle-ergo.com/ to see how they'd fit you. A pair of riding boots will add about an inch to your height as well, so keep that in mind.

I'm fat and sulk down like 3 inches. How hard is it going to be for me to find gear?

Sister confesses she's been selling hash while skipping class for the last 3 months because "allowance money isn't enough to have fun with". Mom proceeds to break down into tears.

Packing for Moab

And drinking.

>>14890358
Lucky fucking you. I can barely breath due to asthma and have a migraine from hell. God I hate spring and I hate plants.

Trying to catch up with kitkat? Lol

>>14890342
Class, fucking night classes.

>put the swingarm back on the EXC
>then remembered I had taken the chain off, so I'll need to take the swingarm off again to get the chain back on without breaking it
fug.

Also would it be a bad idea to use an impact wrench to take the front sprocket nut off? I can't do the normal method of holding the rear brake because I don't have a chain or rear brake currently.

Would this be a poor decision?

>>14890362

Dumb fucks do this because they think spambots won't be able to read it and then send them obnoxious texts and calls from autodialers.

legally. you are old enough to drink when you can physically drink. whether or not it is a good idea is a different story.

>you are old enough to drink when you can physically drink
Saw a video of some 10 year old on worldstar that killed a 12 pack by himself. Not sure about that

>>14890456
do you really have that much trouble figuring out which "your" to use? those two to three extra characters too taxing on your 15wpm typing skills?

Is it too taxing to hold the shift key for a tenth of a second as you start a sentence?

You know what he meant. This is middle school pedanticism.
