For those who care.

2nd for very fuel efficient edition

How many of these threads do we need

>>15214343
As many as your mom's pussy can handle

The cheap headlight/horn/turn signal switch I bought from Amazon broke. The headlight part no longer works. I suppose I'll wire up the headlight to the turn signal switch since i don't have those.

>Ducati edition
I always thought of Ducati as the bike that goes by leaving a trail of gasoline fumes.

>>15214416
You're actually thinking about your butthole, that's fuming for all the black cocks it's taking

>ducati edition
Ill check back with the next one, i dont want to catch electrical gremlins.

Why do people like Ducati?

>>15216085
Memes aside
Solid mechanical engineering and prestige feeling

Would a ducati scrambler be a good starter bike? I like the ability to have off road adventures and it just looks really good to me

uuuh ok

Otherwise not a bad place to start but might cost you if you drop it

>>15216163
I have to order the parts and get a barrel reamed but, usp10mm magdump soon.

Would a Kawasaki H2 be a good beginner bike?

>>15216174
Yes.

>>15216174
>15216174

respect le throttle :^)

>>15216174
Yeah, probably the second best choice. In my professional opinion i recommend a hayabusa, turbo and running 22 psi. That way you never get bored.

>>15216085
The aesthetics are pretty great.

>>15216188
>only 22 psi

You have to be running at least 30 if you want a bike you can truly grow into

Hi, /dbt/, I currently own a Yamaha V-Star 650 and I am looking to upgrade to something more sporty. I really like the Triumph Daytona 675 or the Street Triple.
Are these good bikes? I don't plan on doing anything crazy with them and for the most part they will be used to get me from point A to point B.

>>15216204
They're fine.

>>15216174

>>15216204
Both are great bikes, very similar but the Daytona is slightly more track focused.

Just so happens I saw a Triumph today.

>>15216203
Might as well go with meth injection too, dont want any knocking. Also

>>15216172
You ever play with a P22 or P99?

>>15216085
Different than most cookie cutter clone bikes, cool sound, nice looks. Why does anyone like any bike?

>>15216204
Th Daytona is not very comfortable but a very good sportsbike, the Street Triple R is a fantastic middle-weight standard.

>>15216204
I'd get the street triple then. Daytona is uncomfortable as shit. Striple is also just as capable.

How do i usb power on bike

>>15216238
get a 12v and then a 12v to usb

Hey /dbt/, I know that there are automatic scooters out there, but are there automatic motorcycles? Not that I want one, just curious if they existed.

>>15216238
buy cable, attach to battery, tuck away somewhere

>>15216242
Yes.

>>15216241
Is that safe to ride in rain with?

>>15216251
Yes, what I'm trying to say is a cigarette lighter wired to battery. Then use a cigarette lighter output to usb

>>15216223
Nope, I've wanted to get a p22 though. My friend had one but said it had issues running cheap ammo. Have you?

>>15216257
How is electric safe in the rain? It needs waterproofing

>>15216263
It's just a few coated wires and a 12v cigarette lighter mount. They can have caps on them. If you're cheap use a plastic bag around everything
>>15216262
Nah, but as a little plinky I wouldn't mind getting a 5" target p22. At like $0.08 a round it's not bad at all.

>>15216279
Nice WAT livery. Pic looks like it's from a video game.

>>15216213
>>15216235
>>15216236
Thanks for the advice. I will get the street triple then.

>>15216279
Make more WAT Tans, you cunt.

>>15216279
Looking good as usual trolly

>>15216270
I'd go for it, .22 is always fun because its so cheap

>>15216294

>Evens: I go ride again

>carrying a .22

Why.

>>15216308
don't die anon

>>15216310
Cause it's not a .40 or 9 and you can put like 10 shots in a guy without feeling bad
Just joking, it's a terrible ccw

>>15216317
I mean if it's all you have its better than nothing.

When the front end comes up can you just hold the throttle pinned and let it come down on its own? I'm really bad at wheelies so I just cut the throttle right away when the wheel gets more than 6 inches off the ground

>. If they're a retard you leave. Simple as that.
the bad part is often you have to travel hours to check out a bike, so if you don't buy it you wasted a bunch of time and fuel

>>15216242
Yes, Honda DCTs and Moto Guzzi convert.

>>15216316
>what is amps?
Something determined by the load, not the source.

>>15216390
yeah, that.

>>15216366
Don't cut throttle, ride the rear brake and keep it pinned, you'll actually be faster.

>>15216366

Yeah, it wouldn't ever shoot up... Just lift under throttle and go down on it's own fairly quickly (except the literbikes)

My fastest laps were shortshifting before the crest, leaving the front on the ground, and turning in earlier to the next turn (There was an instant right turn if you did wheelie you'd have to bring it down before you turned in)

>but since the camera guy was at that corner for a session I wanted to get some lift pics

What steps are you fags taking to get your dream bikeu

>>15216407
Ok I'll try that. I was practicing wheelies on my KTM and had enough control that I was ready to use the rear brake, but I needed to adjust the pedal up to find it better. The Daytona will take a little more forethought since I'm not used to even touching it, so I don't cover it

>>15216419
I check my local classifieds for KLR 650's every day.

>>15216419
Mainly just waiting for parts all the time.
>I own a KTM

>>15216440
Do you already have the money for it?

>>15216419
Saving up and hoping to find one cheap

>>15216449
If it's reasonably priced, yeah.

i have no riding experience besides riding quads. and i dont want to regret financing for a baiku besides having enough to do so and paying it off a year later

>>15216421
Also assuming your Daytona acts the same as mine and you're talking about the wheelie that comes around 10-11 grand in 1st that'll go up about a foot then come down on its own when you shift to second. But mine's bone stock so take that with a grain of salt.

Come on m8 you can do better than that

>>15216419
Shilling EBR so they'll still be around when I get the money to buy a brand new bike.

>>15216466
sport bikes can really only barely power wheelie in first? I always assumed they would pull up like mad, but I suppose they're geared a lot taller than my bike, and also designed to keep the front down on throttle

>>15216396
a car puts out significantly more than 12 volts when it's running

i've seen my truck around 18

>>15216480
so do bikes. Most electronics work just as well with 20 volts as they do with 12

>>15216466
I normally short shift out of first and stay above it because the gap is so big between gears plus I catch neutral pretty often if I use the QS in first. It's mostly crests, bumps, and suspension unloading that makes it lift.

>>15216475
Well the biggest one is in 1st, it'll still pull a bit in second, and remember the Daytona is a 600 i3, liters and i4s will more because the power is less linear.

>>15216475
They're talking middle displacement bikes, not litre peters with almost twice as much power and nearly the same weight.

>>15216488
highest i've seen a bike output is around 14

and considering it will work with the car not running i'd rather not risk the cdi, that's just me

>Tfw new job
>Will be able to afford a decent bike soon
>Don't know if I want to get older Peter sport tourer or newer middleweight sport standard

>>15216507
Still though my 450 rips big power wheelies up through 3rd.

My last two bikes were s1000RRs ('10 and '13)

Recommend me a more practical commuter bike that doesn't look like aids with both ABS and traction control.

>>15216475
Mine is way lighter than the average streetbike (<370) and I often run lower sprockets depending on the track. You can't keep the front end down in first, but in any other gear it will just barely lift on flat ground even if you snap it open

The XSR does look like AIDS though. Maybe an Africa Twin?

do you have anything to say or are you just going to dump the link? I don't have time to watch all that

>>15216574

>>15216569
What makes you think the XSR900 is particularly suited to commuting?
Snatchy throttle, absolutely no wind/weather protection, no stock heated grips, no storage space or storage space options are all pretty major drawbacks.

Looks interesting. I might go test ride one.

>>15216604
why are you buying another bike anyway if you already have one you like? Pretty much everything will be a downgrade in terms of performance, and most will still be a downgrade in terms of practicality.

If you had to choose between a monster 1200S and a tuono 1100rr which would you pick and why?

>>15216636
obviously the one with more Rs

>>15216636
Tuono because dat V4, and as an added bonus its not a Ducati.

is a bonneville or scrambler better as a commuter?

they both make me hard as diamonds

>>15216691
They're not the most nimble things around, still way, way better than a Harley though. The newest model year Bonnevilles and Thruxtons are really nice bikes.

K

>>15216636
the tuono 1100 is really a beast and it's incredible to drive, honestly.
The 1200S is really nice too but way less "sporty" i'd say he keep the philosophy of the Monster, kind of bike you chill with but don't go on a track with.

i'd pick the Tuono anytime.

>>15216876
so you're saying a supersport IS comfy to commute?

>>15216887
no. He recommended another bike and the anon said might as well buy another RR with that money after he asked for a commuter, then CCPT was making fun of him for asking for a cummuter then saying he'll buy a superbike instead

come on fucboi, man up. everything you see anyone ever doing, ever, there was a point they were doing it for the first time. new at it. maybe they sucked hard, maybe they had a natural talent for it. but you really gotta get over it and ride, once. one ride, and you'll understand the gripping addictive, freeing feeling. you'll understand its really not as hard as you made it up to be in your mind, and that a huge majority of people who get hurt riding on the streets make poor choices (going way too fast, speeding like a demon through intersections, following behind a car too fast, lane hopping without looking, not paying attention to and reading the non attentive drivers)

now go....jump on the seat and gun it. give it the beans. you'll be fucking hooked for life.

if you happen to live in phoenix, arizona, hit me up. ill be more than happy to teach you the basics, and will patiently instruct you :D we both win cuz then ill have a new riding buddy!

Is the msf truly basic, or should I be riding before then? If I don't have a license, how do I obtain/ride to practice for the msf course?

You need to know how to ride a bicycle. You can get your permit by just taking a multiple choice paper test. Super easy

>>15217417
no prob if u ever find yourself on my side of the country hit me up famalam.

i would suggest going out and getting some basic practice before doing MSF. hell to be frank with you i went out, bought a bike on craiglist 24 miles away from my house, and without even test riding it had to ride it home the whole way back - in crowded phoenix, never having ridden a motorcycle before. its not that hard to pick up, but challenging to truly master.

go out on some side streets, practice your initial launch from first gear. practice your smooth upshifting, then start practicing downshifting to use engine toque (called engine braking) to slow down most of the way - you dont want to be only using your brake pads to stop. will overheat and wear your pads/rotors quick as fuck.

when doing tighter, slower speed turns like at an intersection, put your weight twoards the back of the bike and push down on the handle bar in the direction you wanna travel. say if you wanna go left, "push down" on your left handle bar. its called counter steering, and the only way to turn a bike correctly. youll find your mind and body do it naturally already anyhow.

then id take the MSF to learn about safety and all that jazz.

but desu i dont even have my M endorsement, kek. i hear most people dont bother getting in here in AZ so if i dont get caught doing 75 in a 40 (this is how you die, dont do this) i should be OK

>>15217435
Been a few years since I've rode a bike but I did for a long time in my youth like most people.

Where do the local enduro guys ride? Off roading is pretty popular in the UK so there has to be something. You've got lots of green lanes in England for free light trail riding.

Welp, italian meme is officially real.

MV is running fine, and rode to gas station without any issues aside from a non-working tachometer, speedometer (probably due to tachometer), and radiator fans.

Gonna go through all the circuits and troubleshoot it tonight. Can't wait to be fucking dead at work tomorrow.

At least one person crashes in every MSF course I've seen. It's expected, and it's fine.

Just don't be a retard and take it slow. Push yourself to get better but don't try going too far out of your boundaries or you'll just fall. Gradually work your way up to gitting gud.

Where I live there is a dirt bike track nearby but that's really for teenagers. Green lanes, my county hates them, there is 1 within 20 miles and it's only 1.5mi long.

I'm totally in the wrong part of the country for off-roading.

>>15217490
Slightly. I still fucking love the bike and chock up my issues to crashing. I'm just pissed that FKG can throw his bike off a cliff and ride it a few thousand KMs with a tree stuck in the block and my bike shits the bed after hitting a curb and falling on its side.

Then again weird shit happens when you drop a bike. It is what it is.

There's "power wheelies" and "power wheelies" yes/no?

my SV will rip up at 6k RPM or so in 1st under power nearly to balance point actually, but it requires a quick stab of the throttle and some suspension loading.

but that's a different story to the front coming up just under a gentle throttle roll-on and pure acceleration alone which the SV doesn't really do (unless you're going over a crest, wooooo)

>>15217505

Amerifat with a Honda VTX1300. I believe the internal volume of the tank is ~5 gallons no question, it's just that there is literally no way to actually use all of it short of pointing the bike down a 45 degree slope while filling. Just annoying.

sup deebeetee.

my only (and glroious) means of transport is my beloved sport bike, but ive been seriously considering getting a 2smoke motorized bicycle for the lulz.
plans are to:
>get a fake license plate saying "AYYLMAO" on the back
>bore cylinder
>install stronger crankshaft
>different sprocket for higher speeds
>massive keks by trolling around on the railroad side dirt roads, canal dirt roads, and being a general memester around the town
>purely for shits and giggles.
i want a 2smoke bike i can fuck around on and not worry about beating up. ive had one before so i know the tricks like getting muffler clamps from Vatozone so the engine stays aligned and chain doesnt pop off, etc
it'll also be nice to have something i can freely fuck about on and not worry about losing my way to work/grocery
good plan? i dont wanna fork up the 2k for a half decent small dirtbike or enduro, and plus
>them tires
wear too fast for my taste.

A factory made moped will always be more reliable and upgradeable then a bicycle engine kit. Derbi and Honda make the best mopeds, arguably. Depending on what state you're in, mopeds can be cheap and plentiful.
Of you're looking for any kind of reliability, you're fucked. They need much more maintenance but parts are waaaaay cheaper than motorcycle parts.

I need to do a clutch on my resto project bike. Anyone done one? It looks pretty simple no special tools and barely any skill required. Am I going to hate life or will this be easy? It looks like under $100 in parts total.
