Are those bars longer/wider than normal bars or does it just look like it due to the empty space where the controls normally would be?

So the Jews are selling this magnet to change lights for $20. Is anyone using a cheap one to do the same thing? I figure you ought to be able to order a $2 big neodymium magnet that will do the same thing.

hayyyy guise

getting my nanner ready for the 110+ degree summers out here. for the next 4 months, it be hot mayne.

i have an '04 ninja 250, 5000 miles on the clock. i just changed my oil and filter (using 20w-50 from 10w-40) and now im getting ready to flush the coolant out for the summer. its the green shit, possibly original. no bueno.

i bought some Engine Ice on the way home from work - i hear this shit is awesome, keeps stuff cooler and all that. guy at the parts store told me i have to be sure i flush out every bit of the old coolant or the engine ice and the old stuff will "gel" if they mix together.

question: -i asked him wat he meant by flush. he said just filled er up with distilled water, run it for a few minutes, shut it off and drain it and doing that once should be enough.

i asked him if i had to make sure the t-stat opened up while im running it with distilled water, he said not sure.

so: should i run it till its up to temp with the distilled water before i drain it to "flush" it? should i do that more than once or was he exagerating the problem?

>>15095693
Yeah run it until you feel the heat in the radiator. If the thermostat doesn't open it won't really flow much.

I also heard to mix distilled vinegar with water 50/50 for flushing. Might want to read up a bit on that to see if there's benefits.

Make sure your radiator fan works. You might want to install a manual switch for it so you can get it blowing before it gets really hot.

250 Rebels are slow as balls, they can barely manage 80mph, if that.

Cruisers in general are heavier and don't make as much power so you can usually get away with riding much bigger displacement ones as long as you can manage the weight.

Get at least a 500+ cc cruiser, anything under that will feel slow as balls.

Passing power is nice sometimes.

Plus not having to wind the fuck out of the engine to do highway speeds is comfy too.

Buy whatever you want, Anon. Rebel 250's aren't exactly going to depreciate hugely in the future so you're not going to make a big loss if you have it for a couple of months then sell it.

>>15095801
You'll probably still want something that doesn't take 30+ seconds to just barely reach the speed limit at its top speed.

>>15095752
Honestly the 250cc starter thing is to be taken with a grain of salt. 650 v-twin bikes are way different the 600 inline SS bikes where the fear of big cc's comes from. You can still get in trouble with a 650 v-twin but if you're not retarded you'll be fine.

Further more cruiser type bike engine displacement is totally different to sport bike engine displacement. A 650cc v-twin cruiser's power is very different compared to a 650cc v-twin sport bike. Anything smaller than a 650 cruiser is worthless imo.

I have a confession.
I live an hour and a bit away from Port Dover.
I didn't go to the Friday the 13th at Dover.

I know some people ride across Canada and America just to go to Dover. So I feel a little bad about that. I've been riding for three years now and I've never been.
But it seems like it's a bunch of older people parking motorcycles (usually cruisers) and listening to radio friendly rock n' roll.
Just not my idea of fun. Am I wrong about Dover on Friday the 13th?
I've been through Dover outside of that. It's a nice enough place.

Think I should go next year, /dbt/?

welp i know teh fan works in fact last night when i parked it after riding home from work (13 miles ride at 55mph, 8k rpm a lot) the fan had been kicked on. it ran for about 15 seconds then shut off, but ive known it ran in the past.

why am i going to be waiting til i feel heat in the radiator when im idling it with distilled water? when the radiator is warm thats when ill know the thermostat is open? i figured i'd be feeling the cylinder jug for warmth considering thats where the coolant goes when the stat opens up.

but i work in the car repair industry so i may be wrong on how the cooling system functions. thoughts? appreciate the tip. i think ill steer clear of the vinegar thing.

Yes.

The heat is coming from the engine, so you that will be the first thing to get warm. You will know the coolant is flowing when the heat has moved from there to the radiator.

>You know bikes more than I do
What does knowing bikes have to do with knowing what you like

High pegs and low bars are for stable cornering and being able to get down below the fairing. If you were doing high speed cornering all the time (eg. a track) it would likely be more comfortable because it wouldn't take so much energy to hang on to the bike but it's not designed to be comfy just sitting on it.

>>15096005

>>15095965
also dude weed lmao, ive been confusing cooling systems. of course it'll be flowing when the rad is hot. i knew that, but apparently cannabis and problem solving dont mix.

dont tell my mom.

>>15096018
Yes, put the cap on before you run the bike. Then let it completely cool off before you take the cap back off.

The only real difference between a 650 vtwin on a cruiser vs a sport bike is the cruiser's weight holding it back. You're thinking of an inline 4 where the real difference is

650 twins in sport standards are liquid cooled DOHC units that put out about 70 hp at the wheels usually.

650 twins in cruisers are usually air cooled and put out about 1/2 that.

PO upgraded it to a real slipper according to the dealership I bought it from. Probably a real clutch though since it doesn't do the HUEHUE sprag clutch jerk on hard launches.

the sprag clutch is probably the most confusing MV agusta thing possible, i didn't they they'd been on any bikes since the early 90s.

It makes sense, a while ago I was watching some shootout of litrebikes and they had extreme trouble launching the MV agusta for the 1/4 mile reliably because the clutch just felt weird.

it all makes sense now.

the usual sorry didn't see you kinda thing, happened before but then i was able to stop in time, wasn't so lucky then though.

when you're doing the futurama theme keep us updated with the progress,
thinking about doing the gsx-r1000 with a sorta wasteland/fallout theme but not to-much over the top, kinda like the idea of ammo boxes maybe cut them apart and sorta use them as a side panel to make it look as-if its inside.

I honestly wouldn't even know. Apparently what MV did for the slipper clutch effect on my bike was a setting that lets the ECU send fuel to cyl 2 above 7000rpm which reduces engine braking significantly.

I bought it because it handles fucking amazing at high speeds going max lean angle through corners. It's planted, soaks up bumps, and goes. That's all I really need.

I actually am.

SLIGHT missed focus on the bike though unfortunately and I still think you're letting the ISO go too high or something as it's a little noisy, that's why I'm always saying with this bike photography where sharpness is just really really important you need to go back and check the exposure on your camera playback and zoom into 100% and make sure it's pin sharp on the object you want, I think you're focused about a meter or so behind the bike.

the other thing is IMO the bike is lost a little bit, dark colour in general are tough, photographing black bikes for example is a nightmare because the only way to show their form properly is through reflections and highlights.

You can bring those up a little bit by just running over it with the "dodge" tool just to make it pop a little bit more.

super quick edit but you get the idea.

>>15097886
Nah, bought it, I've been wanting one since they came out.

>>15097878
Congrats.

>>15097895
Nah, I'm keen to get titanium headers and haven't thought about mufflers yet

Daily reminder that all you fags look like power rangers riding your soules store bought transformers bikes. Im better than all you fags and your just scared i might steal your girls.

>>15097957
Fuck off nobike

Just signed up for a basic riding course, and I in over my head if I've only ever ridden a bicycle? I can drive a stick but I don't know how that translates to the manual transmission of motorcycles. Anybody ever take classes at Washington Motorcycle Safety Training? Looks like the training course is a Boeing parking lot, I can't really think of a better place.

Also what should I pay for a first bike? I love the looks of the 70s-80s standard bikes, is there anything newer with that same look I can search for? I'm 6'2" and 160lbs so I think my height and wind resistance will be the biggest factors.

>>15097961
You forgot to tip your fedora, son.

>>15097961
> you fags look like power rangers
You act like that's a bad thing.
> riding your soulless* store-bought* transformers bikes
I bought it second-hand though :^)
> steal your girls
> implying /dbt/ have girls
> implying girls don't just slow you down and/or keep you from riding

Fuck off nobike faggot

>>15098013
Everyone, except those who died at SEM3000 (everyone). Us skeletons can't die again.
As for crashes:
> WR Anon doesn't show up again because he won't buy a cheap shit GS 500 and his mum won't let him meet strangers from the internet
> Zephyr guy blows his engine by keybanging
> Dutch BMW breaks his transmission for real this time
> drop anon crushed by his bike because he's a manlet and drops it on himself
> the Italians don't make it to Slovenia because the CB 400 has battery problems and the KLR has carb problems
> R65 washes out on some grass while offroading
> FKG stays crash free, buys a cart to tow the corpses and mangled bikes back home

>>15098003
Like the idea desu but don't wanna camp in Slovenia

>>15098040

bruh
I'm so close to being the owner of a TT600
dude has a beautiful garden.

>>15098059
There's one thing I hate more than a nobike, nobike. And that's a nobike who thinks it's such an achievement to own a motorcycle that nobike is an insult.

>>15098064
Fuck off nobike.

Fuck off nobike

Would buying a late 90's Yamaha Virago 250 for about a thousand euros as my first ever bike be a good idea? Is there anything else with a similar classic look worth looking out?

>>15098087
this is your pathetic life right now bro

typing the same word over and over to someone who enjoys the same hobby as you

>>15098062

I can crash this whole thread with you. I don't give a fuck. Go ride your scooter.

>tfw unrestricted euro licence
>most qualified motorcycle rider on /dbt/
>more qualified than amerifats who haven't died on a litre and think it's skill
>more qualified than euros who aren't allowed more than 250

>>15098125
W650 too expensive?

>>15098136
and what bikes do you have

>>15098144
13 50cc scooters and a bicycle with an electric motor.

>>15098136
Fuck off nobike

>>15098170
One day you, too, will become as qualified as me. I'm joking, you're probably American so your licence and riding skills are probably worth nothing

>>15098045
Why not?

I am allowed to ride unrestricted since tuesday just to notice that now with 25hp more my clutch is slipping.
>>15098040
kek
>>15098062
I hate these pictures where you see more of the garden then of the bike itself. Are they selling their garden or bike?
Also you mom will take your key again.

>>15098176

>>15098189
