No, because you actually have bikes

Were bikes with these fairings ever available in the US?
Looking around all I've ever seen is the naked or big rounded sport fairings models.

Hey, /dbt/.

I just got my hands on what seems to be a Yamaha YZ60. I got the liquids for it and everything, but I'm a little confused and I can't seem to find the service manual for it online (for free because I'm very broke at the moment.)

Where the hell does the battery go? And how do I measure out the mixture ratio for the fuel and 2-cycle oil? This is my first two stroke.

Whats with removing everything from the OP?
Stop doing that, its not going to catch on and you are a shit person for trying to fix something that wasnt broken.

>>14904981
The Katana is the only bike that looks like that, and have fun finding and buying one.

Got my license last year but I'm too autistic to go out and start looking for bikes mostly because I know nothing about bikes and have no friends who are into bikes. How much do gsxrs usually go for? Keep seing 07-08 with 8k-10k go for 5.5k-6k is this normal? Never bought anything from private sellers so don't know how the whole transfering title and any of that works either, please help. I can't test ride the bike because I don't feel comfortable test riding a 600cc, how do you guys buy your bikes from private sellers? Someone explain the process to me please.

If you're financing, have good credit, and don't fuck around it'll take about an hour.
If you're buying it outright it takes 10 minutes. Unless they're particularly busy. They're never busy though.

>>14905175
you can do it within like 1-3 hours if you've got shit together easily and don't care about paying msrp + ttl. anyways not much talking down on brand new bikes. previous model years usual get a rebate

I'd recommend joining a local but decent sized credit union, and going to multiple dealers if your city has them

it's how hard your engine is turning. Multiply that by how fast it is turning and you get your power.

>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torque
Torque, moment, or moment of force (see the terminology below) is the tendency of a force to rotate an object about an axis,[1] fulcrum, or pivot. Just as a force is a push or a pull, a torque can be thought of as a twist to an object. Mathematically, torque is defined as the cross product of the position vector of the point where the force is applied (distance vector) and the force vector, which tends to produce rotation.

Well, that explains it...

I think a problem is the ABS system is designed for different wheel sizes. So it expects the front to be turning slower than the rear (because of the difference in wheel size) but it isn't because you swapped 17"s onto both so it just shuts off.

the implication is that engines that rev well are better in high performance applications.

Such as a V4, which does not produce a significantly different powerband or capacity to rev to an inline 4.

I've finished all the electrical work. Front brakes and what not are all done too and the engine starts (fairly) consistently. There's a fueling issue (main jets seem clogged) but that's later.

At the moment the rear brake alternates between dragging and being stuck on. What do you guys think is the best way to approach it?

I was thinking of taking the plunger apart and see if I can release the pressure that way. The rear brake switch wasn't working because of stupid issue so hoping this is too.

Ideally I don't want to take the caliper off since it's a pain in the ass to get in and out on an MC22.

Couldn't take my bike home due to wind. Went home with dad instead. On the upside, we got all the panel gaps set on the 02 Corvette me and him were fixing up.

I hear the specialized upper division textbooks in some fields can get that costly.

I don't know what the fuck I'd do without Modafinil basically. It's apparently $200-400 a month so I'm glad I'm not paying for it.

I can stumble through sentences without it (slowly) but I end up getting headaches really quickly if I force it. I tend to just not talk if I run out of Modafinil or there's a delay in getting a new lot sent out.

Other stuff is mainly for pain, but I take a pill at night too or I have nightmares about cars running into me, dying, riding off cliffs, etc.

Been talking to doctors about maybe trying Methylphenidate and/or Piracetam as well.

On the flip side, I've had plenty of time to work on the bike with relatively low stress, so it's not all bad.

>>14905651

Racetams are wonderful. If you're receptive to Piracetam and take choline along with it you can have a very noticeable impact in about an hour as soon as it hits your blood stream. The very slight euphoria you get from taking that first drink after being stone sober combined with that magical level of mental clarity where words just string together. I always thought I worked better and spoke better after a couple drinks, and Piracetam does the same thing for me.
There are no CNS suppressing effects so you don't feel anything similar to being intoxicated, its just like life is a tiny bit fluffier and nice.

It's awkward to get in Australia. A script is required but it's not actually sold here so doctors don't see any reason to give a script.

I mainly wanted to try it because it seems like it'd synergize well with Modafinil.

I've been relatively lucky in that I don't get any sedation from benzos, Z-Drugs, or opioids. Has made things a lot smoother. Only issue I've had is I don't have a sense of hunger since the accident and lost a ton of weight because I kept forgetting to eat (I go faster though now amirite?).

Why would you need narcotics for a bleed? Most internal bleeding is painless and gets fixed during surgery, and they don't usually give you narcotics for cuts or scrapes. Did you do more than just hemorrhage? Tear muscle in pic related, herniate a disk?

Given that its tupperware fairings are pretty much indestructable, the gen1 KLR is an ideal beginner bike, right?

Because it doesn't help my cognitive function or pain. One of the strains (I forget which is which) gives me panic attacks now as well.

I was also on IV Fentanyl and Hydromorphone for awhile. I was never a big fan of marijuana anyway but it's complete garbage in comparison to those evil drugs.

>>14905783
>Hey Aus-senpai where do you acquire your Modafinil from?
Prescription. So a pharmacy. It's an S4 in Australia not an S9.

>I've been scoping out some clear-web sites but they all look like a very good way to pay money for something you'll never receive
The websites are probably reliable but the brand will probably be something like ModAlert not Modavigil (as it's sold as in Australia). ModAlert is an XR variant (to dodgy around patenting laws) which is stupid for a drug that stays in your system for fifteen hours anyway.

Keep in mind a sixty pack is about $190. I take two a day. If you don't have health insurance it's expensive. It's only PBS for Narcolepsy.

>>14905821
I tore my rhomboid muscle. I also had my TN (Tic Douloureux/Suicide Disease) flare up directly after, most likely from the bleed. My body doesn't respond to Gabapentin or Amitriptyline and I'm allergic to Carbamazepine so I'm forced to use things like Dilaudid for breakthrough pain instead.

Kinda hard to ride a KLR above a limit... It doesn't accelerate fast, and unless you're trying to drag it around a corner like a supermoto, you can't really go wrong on one. It's even hard to wheelie a KLR.

what annoys me is when people slap sport bike wheels and tires onto a dirt bike for "superior supermoto handling" and still have tires looking like that.

>>14905898
Some people are just bad at estimating a maximum corner speed and don't realise they are not anywhere near it, 99% of people never get close to actually riding through a corner at 100% on the street and the ones that do normally don't last very long.

>>14905902
Oh, well that's on the person not the bike.

He was asking if a KLR is a good beginner bike, and it is. You can't make a lot of mistakes on a KLR like you could on a supersport if you're just starting out. I mean yeah, you can ride off the road with no experience, but you can do that on any bike if you don't know how to ride.

/dbt/ do you guys reckon bike handling skills learned from riding a scooter translate to motorcycles? I definitely think they do but my mate reckons not

Obviously motorcycles weigh more however the techniques involved in turning and handling the bike are mostly the same in my mind.

>>On road it's pretty idiot proof
When you can still do stupid shit on the road on a KLR or any bike.

>>14905937
Even fundamental skills you learn on a bicycle can be slightly transferred to motorcycle skills. Things like balancing, steering, and handling of two wheels. It doesn't equate to actually getting on a motorcycle and riding it, that's the only way you'll learn good skills for motorcycle riding, but still some things you carry over from riding bicycles and scooters you can use for a motorcycle.

He had made 10 videos.

Tons of people ran out and bought gopros after they saw an advert.

>Own gopro, need to make xxxtreeeeme video content for youtube
>Buy bike because it's xxxtreeeeme
>Strap gopro to chest for second ride
>Crash on gentle curve
>I'm part of the new entertainment paradigm, creating worthwhile content!

fuck sport tyres, why own a sport bike if you're not gonna lean it?

If I only rode around in the city doing bullshit there is no way I'd own a bike with clip ons.

>>14905999
it rather reinforces my point again about "nobike" as some kind of response to an argument you disagree with, that dude on the ninja 300 has a bike.

Would you care about anything he has to say about how to ride a bike? I wouldn't.

>>14905992
Coma anon??

>>14906029
I'm still thinking of strapping my roommate's gopro to my helmet just for day to day riding so I can make some webumms for dbt, but I don't want to be tempted to do anything stupid for entertainment.

>>14906053
ride like you normally would...?
if you don't normally ride stupidly don't ride stupidly.

>>14906029
>every single supermoto video
>woah check out this wheelie
>woooah check out this other wheelie
>woooooahaha check out me hit this guys kill switch
>wooooowah we're gonna ride down a staircase, watchout mall security!

I think its one big unspoken secret that 99% of supermoto riders are gayer than a full blown Harley meet.

>>14905995
Shit gets funnier every time I watch it.

Why is everyone's natural reaction to fucking up to keep pulling the throttle?

GOT CHICKEN?

>>14906075
I don't think people are trying twist the throttle, more like trying to hang to the bars. Either way almost always turns out pretty funny

>>14906085
No but id like some chicken.

>>14906075

the only thing I really do different is I'd never do wheelies on the street normally, but I figured it'd be useful footage.
