There's actually very little surface area to put the sticky pad on but they're so damn sticky this tiny triangle of flat bit on the raised bit of the chin section is enough to hold it on no worries.

I packed some double sided wall hanging tape on either side too but I don't think it does anything.

It's all part of the elaborate troll my friend. Some people know what kind of bike it is right off the bat but I've heard it being called a WR, a KLX, and a KTM or a Husqvarna. Now with the headlight it's gonna fuck with people.

That mid drift is more than enough to hold a gopro attached. I have an agv gt veloce which has the same chin shame and the adhesive was sticking on that 8mm or so strip in the middle.

Couldn't pull it apart even using all my strenght.

>>14976847
Yes but this was bought new. The KTM is still a bucket of parts. I'm probably going to sell it back to the owner who has money now.

>>14976927
that valve rocker-arm breaking seems to be pretty much a standard problem with KTM and has been for years judging by countless forum posts.

if you ride single-cylinder KTM and are out of the warranty you should probably replace them every 3000Km or so.

>>14976934
lol he bought one of their pianos.

>>14976937
>>14976923
iirc the rocker arm issue was from the 2008 models and was fixed in the 2010 version, so you just update to the 2010 rockers and you're good, or vice versa

haven't looked at 690's in a long time though so I could be wrong

>>14976938
Ktm makes race ready bikes
Yamaha makes keyboards for children
Honda makes lawn care devices for retirees
Kawasaki makes water treatment systems
Lol

>>14976945
nah its with 2014 versions as well.

should just make the head a little larger and give it another camshaft or create rockers out of titanium dunno.

Everythings better than risk trashing the engine.

hey dbt,

I've been browsing the motorcycle section of craigslist in my area, and I saw this guy parting out 3 different bikes:
https://charlotte.craigslist.org/mcy/5528812675.html
https://charlotte.craigslist.org/mcy/5528817028.html
https://charlotte.craigslist.org/mcy/5556944378.html

I'm wondering if these are stolen bikes and if I should alert the police.
Is it at all common for someone who works on bikes to part out 3 legitimate bikes at once?

>>14977358
Because I'm pretty much broke right now and all the money I will earn in the coming months will be spent on a new apartment because fuck sharing a flat with randoms any longer.

Those are amazing bikes and will out perform plenty of shit riders while teaching you pretty much everything there is to know.

One thing to be known about the GS250 and GS300s is that they're hilariously lean out of the factory. Like the bike will backfire and refuse to go above 15mph in 5th gear. When you get it, turn the idle A/F adjustment screw out about 3-5 turns to fix the issue.

Just be ready to do a lot of maintenance before it's in mint condition

>>14977670
check for excessive rust .. especially in the tank

>>14977697
Check fuel lines for brittleness, Make sure it can start with a cold engine.

>>14977118
wtf were the flaggers doing.... i'd fucking sue

>>14977697
Check the condition of the rubber boots that hold the carbs on. They're expensive and tend to get old and crack easily due to all the heat cycles they run through. Replacing them isn't anything difficult, but it's a bit of a hassle if it's the first thing you have to do.

Check for the lean cold running issue mentioned in >>14977691

If it's present, you should be able to fix it without pulling the carbs off though.

Check for rust in the tank, and under the exhausts. The exhausts on those bikes are one piece header to muffler so if the muffler happened to rust out any backfiring or anything will have holes popping up.

Finally, try to get it up to ~60mph. Mine had an issue where the little tab for the ignition coil on the left cylinder would vibrate off at 55+mph. should let you know that all electrical systems are well taken care of.

yes that's loris baz, motoGP rider / lanklet supreme and his specially (terribly) constructed extended subframe.

He is constantly downplaying how tall he is, going as far as once claiming he only has the body of a 185cm tall man but just has an especially tall neck, the kind of thing nobody in the universe who wasn't racing motoGP bikes would ever think to say.

Indeed, I quite like loris and his stubborn refusal to not give up on the idea of MotoGP even with a team dropping him at the last minute in 2015 for being too tall, he could have been content at the pointy end of WSBK but he wasn't.

Also I think he could be a very good pirate villain in a movie, which is important.

>More so if you're at high rpms
>Just a smidge if around 3-2k

>>14977962
the engine is pretty much the biggest brake on your bike. let the clutch lever out gently, and don't always downshift. occasionally, i even upshift to engine brake, like coasting toward a red light or something. but coming in for a corner, downshift braking can drop a lot of speed quickly, leaving you at high enough revs to pull straight into your powerband & out of the corner.

it does run hot. looking forward to riding on a really cold day. it will be like bringing a camp fire with me.
the clutch lever is something to get used to. you only have to squeeze it in a little to use it. every single other bike i have had requires full use of the clutch lever, but you only pull this one in about an inch and that's all you need. it's an adjustment to make, mentally, but once you've got it, you're good.
the throttle can be jumpy if you aren't used to it.
much like the issue with the clutch, once you are used to it, it's a non issue. just keep the clutch squeezed in a tiny bit if you are doing light on/off throttle, such as in a parking lot.

one thing, i am not a big fan of is the short gearing. to get to 60 mph, you have changed gears 4 times. just to get to 35, you are probably going to be in 3rd. 6'th gear is so huge.

>>14978326

>the clutch lever is something to get used to. you only have to squeeze it in a little to use it. every single other bike i have had requires full use of the clutch lever, but you only pull this one in about an inch and that's all you need.
that's how a properly adjusted clutch lever works pham

>>14978353
he just needs to get used to the throttle and clutch

Adjusting it like this is really convenient because you don't have to hold it very hard, but first time after dealership adjusted it like this for me as a part of safety check up, I dropped the bike at 0mph because I got used to the great area being close to the middle, and I released clutch too little due to muscle memory. I had zero doubts that I will give it enough gas to balance, until I didn't.

In general, it seems the deebeetee consensus is Yamaha, ktm fall apart, Honda and Suzuki are missileproof, and Kawasaki just is. Is this trufax? Are there exceptions? What about HD, Triumph, Ducati?

Bought new balaclava. Two actually, the other is a cheapo thing I got since I was already in the shop. (Center in pic is gift from friend for go-karts.) Tomorrow at noon is my 4th bike ride out of legally mandated 8 before the exam, expecting traffic exposure again. Hopefully I'll make less of an ass of myself this time. Please continue to pray for me. Blogpost over.
