Everything to shift is on the left everything to go and stop is on the right.
Here is how to take off
>let out the clutch very slowly
>Listen for the revs to start dropping
>Give it more gas
>Let a hair of pressure off the lever
>You should start rolling
Don't worry about shifting yet stay in first

>Stopping
Gently let off the throttle, pull in the clutch and apply pressure to the front brake
>At the same time fucking stomp your rear brake as hard as you can
>Stand on that lever
>Not really
>75% of your stopping power comes from the front
>30% from the back
>ALWAYS USE BOTH

Is a Kawasaki Versys a decent first bike? I've seen the Ninja 650 suggested and it seems like they use the same engine. My biggest concern is that it might be too heavy, I'm 6'2" and 160lbs so I'm pretty weak. If I found one for under $4k, should I look into it?

Also I don't mind the Edsel-style vagina face.

Anyone take an advanced rider's course over the basic, even with little to no experience?

A little too late for me as I finished the basic course classroom time today and have two riding courses this weekend, but it was 'never ridden a bicycle' basic and excruciatingly slow. Made me wish I had taken the advanced course and tried to bust everything out in one day instead.

>>15278128

I think you'll be okay. I'd say start smaller but if you go easy on the throttle you should be fine

>>15278286
I guess I'll get a better feel for what I want after I take the class next month. I hear people saying how riding a 250 can be borderline dangerous at times due to the slow acceleration unless the throttle's maxed out, but it seems like there's very little middle ground between 250s and sport bikes that I wouldn't trust myself to ride, at least in my price range and newer than ~2000. A standard, more upright bike someplace around 500ccs sounds pretty ideal to me right now, but time will tell.

Speed bumps are fun

>>15278317
In all seriousness the 600 super sports are in between the 250s and the liter bikes. I had never ridden anything other then my DR 350 SE when i bought a F4i, the bike was not anywhere near as scary as people try to make them out to be. I imagine a liter bike would actually make your asshole pucker, but if you aren't a complete tard who cant into fine motor skills then you will be fine on any bike...

>>15278317
250's aren't actually that slow for the most part. Most will get up to 70mph fairly quickly and run on to 90-100mph.

It's the passing power that lacks, it just requires a bit of forethought to overtake.

>hurr u kneed da powar 2 get out of badd situashuns

Not if you don't get yourself into them in the first place.

Powering out of a situation is one solution, but it's not the only solution.

If you intend on doing a lot of hghway riding then get something bigger, but if you're pottering around under 60-70mph they're adequate. Bonus points if you live near a decent set of twisties.

How is the DR350? I'm going to try and get a dual sport this summer or fall, and I keep thinking I've settled on a DRZ400, but every time a DR350 crops up it makes me wonder...

>>15278381
IMHO the DR 350se, i have a low mileage 1999 model, is a great bike. Less money then the DRZ and it has a better gearbox, the 6 speed is much superior to the 5 speed. Also air cooled is tits for a dual sport, no radiator to puncture. It'll also cruise the highway fine to 65mph with stock gearing as well. Plus I imagine the insurance would be cheaper.

If you do buy one get a 98 or 99 model, they have the better cartridge forks and upgraded offroad rear shock as well as the 6 bolt rotors which are cheaper and easier to find.

>>15278409
What's their highway performance like? Will they do 60 for some distance? 70? 80? I'm looking for something to ride to the trails, then on the trails. But I live in Montana, so the to-the-trails rides can be longer and faster than most people's.

>>15278426
Plus the 98 and 99 models have the electric start, which is really handy after dropping the bike on a big hill and flooding gas into the intake tube and air box.

>>15278432
boring but useable, with stock gearing 60 is fine for all day. 70+ id keep to shorter jumps just to keep from stressing the motor.
granted you could always slap a 440kit on it for the cost of a good pipe and adjust the gearing and do just fine too.

>>15278193
Currently own one as a first bike (same color as the picture as well). Throttle is very linear and predictable. I'm 6'3.5" 240lbs and it fits me just fine. If you took a bike course and you felt confident on the 250's/300's they use then you should be perfectly fine on the Versys.

The Versys is built off of the ninja chassis along with the naked version the ER6N. Exact same engine just retuned a bit for more power down low. It also has longer travel and adjustable suspension, aluminum rear swingarm, and a few other odds and ends upgrades over the ninja 650.

>>15278447
Hope the person who designed the headlight configuration has been fired. It's the ugliest thing on the bike besides myself as the rider hue

>>15278448
coolness, thank you. I do really like the fact that it has a 6-speed and a tach. There's a 95 for sale where I'm at. Owner is asking $1800. I have to buy a new jeep first, but if I have enough leftover, I'll consider getting it.

Everyone gave me compliments for my wheelies lol. They weren't particularly smooth buy I was trying to throw it back and scrape.

A little later someone said they saw a cop roll by as another guy wheelied so we started to get back on our bikes and I just left the group. Was a fun night though.

I had a scare today. I was looking in my mirror as I approached a corner, so I accidentally came in on the inside and unprepared. Chopped the throttle a tiny bit as I was about halfway through but my brain started working again and I got back on the gas and made it through.

Thats the best. Tell me about it man. I just went from my 03 z1000 to a 16 fz09. Cant believe how much faster the fiz feels than the zed. Really cant imagine how fast that thing must feel. And jealous you have heated grips and cruise control!!

>open it up in first
>power wheelies galore while breaking highway speed limit

I was expecting more vibration at 11k rpm but it's was incredibly smooth.

Heated grips are also under rated. They're my saving grace when I'm riding to work at 9pm and its 12C.

What's the yammie triple like by the way?

I like it more on the RR. The lack of fairings on the R make it stand out and look like an aliens head with LED indicators for ears.

So I ride a vstar xv250 with 3000km on It that I put on myself. My uncle rides a Honda nt650v with 60000 but just bought a new bike and asked if I wanted to buy his old one off him for $4000 (aus) or so. On one hand it not the sorta bike I'd personally pick, but I do really want something more powerful. What do /dbt/

>>15278701
>it's
I honestly thought i was downgrading. It was never on my radar. I thought it was below me cause i just saw numbers but i wanted to be in this decade. I loved my zed but felt it really showed its age. Mainly its just a maniac. Zed has a faster top speed but the fiz feels faster everywhere. Way faster. And just has so much character i feel like. I laugh everytime im on it. Its like a supermoto with a superbike engine where as the z feels like a naked sportbike. But these are things you never know til swapping. I think my favorite thing about bikes nownis how different they all feel and i really value that. Its great taking them both out and liking them for different reasons. Shopping for a small cc bike now cause how much fun i had riding my first ninja 250 and wr250x. Own all the bikes. Thats my advice to everyone. Enjoy your R. Id love to have it in my garage!

That im sure is a fun contrast to have just from my experience riding my "sportbikes" up and down my lomg rutted gravel driveway everyday and the wrx being the closest thing to a sportbike ive ridden. Im amazed how different it feels riding the zed on pr4s and the fiz on s20s on the gravel. Ill spin the pr4s up for fun on the gravel vs the s20s feel like i can barely turn the wheel without falling over. Would absolutely love a dirtbike in the stable. Plus all my moto gp idols mx and flat track in their spare time!

>>15278833

Idk. Was just cruising when it happened, granted earlier that morning I had been doing a lot of rough trail riding and then wheelies and other crap.

But crank bearing gave out and the shaft shifted and broke the case apart behind the front sprocket. Locked up the chain/tire when the shaft shifted back and the front sprocket dug into the swingarm.

Motor still ran great just puked oil out of the broken case when running.

My chain definitely wasnt too tight but it was very tight when I got it and I loosened it right away. I've always had an issue with it jumping gears maybe 1-3 times every time i ride. I'm thinking it got fucked enough by a tight chain in its past that it was doomed from the start and just slowly let go until boom.

But oh well. Total cost I've spent on parts is $700 and that's a whole complete motor off ebay with 7k miles that I'm putting new rings and bearings in just to be safe. Came with everything even stator/gaskets. So I'll have a bunch of extra parts too.
Then that also includes the money I spent on new chain & sprockets too. Will basically be a new motor. Bike has 22 or 23k miles on it. Didnt burn any oil before but a refreshing couldn't hurt.

>>15278890
I always have a friend go with. Usually have them drive my car back and I buy them dinner or something at some place decent.

If you don't have any friends (not trying to be a dick, I was in that situation november->april until I quit my shit job and moved back home) then see if he'll meet you halfway if you figure something out with public transportation or uber or some shit.

If I had stayed where I had moved I was going to buy a ranger or s10 for a dd just so I could buy toys and shit even if they were a ways away.

My bike sometimes gets hard to start when its fully warmed up, if I stall it it won't turn back on without pulling the choke. It'll just crank over but not start. What could it be? Its a Kawi KLX250

I still remember when you first posted these, made me want to go out to MOAB.
A buddy and I are leaving this Monday on a week long trip out to Yellow Stone and the Rocky Mountains. We're stopping in at the painted desert in Wyoming too. We've been there before and it was so breath taking that we couldn't turn down the opportunity to see it again. Going through the bad lands in SD was pretty amazing too. Right after we hit Mt. Rushmore a fog rolled in, and the hills looked incredible.
I'm pretty nervous about camping and hiking through grizzly country in Montana, but I have a massive can of pepper spray, and we both have our UF AKs.

I'll be posting a bunch of pics when I get back. No GoPro footage unfortunately. I literally just moved, and the budget is tight. In a bit though I'll be buying a Sony HD action cam for recording video for sick as fuck .webms.

Pic semi related. Drove out through Wyoming in the Jeep. The desert out there has blood red soil, and at points it shifts from yellow, to blue, to purple, and green. Its incredible. Beyond words. At the point where we camped we could see snow covered mountain peaks all around us in 360 degrees. Indescribable.

Is this satire? He was no where near you.

>>15279467
Happens a lot, my man. People's brains get trained to look for shapes and sizes. A bike just doesn't register no matter what you're wearing, nor how many lights you have on your bike.
Above all, if a driver isn't looking, then they aren't looking no matter what. Always anticipate other motorists being a threat, and respond accordingly.
When it comes down to it you're the only one responsible for your own life and safety. Other people might fuck up, but you've got to expect that.

Dude locks up his rear tire.

How often do you guys clean your chain?
Or do you only lube it?

I'm a new rider and I just got 360km done and I remembered that I should probably do that.

Just not sure if I can just lube or if I also have to clean already.

>>15279558
Every couple weeks I give it a spray with some chain lube and a quick wipe with a rag. We have pretty clean roads here though, so your mileage may vary.

Just a quick tip, always turn off the engine when you clean your chain. There are horror stories.

Left hand drill bit. Why does no on ever mention left hand drill bits? At worst you drill it out, tap in new thread and get a new screw. At best it comes out.

Also, one of these things

https://www.amazon.com/Lisle-29200-Hand-Impact-Tool/dp/B0002NYDRG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1466149572&sr=8-1&keywords=lisle+impact+driver

I don't know if that's what you meant by the "impact driver" you used, but this one you turn it to one side and then hammer on it, repeat until the thing comes out or snaps off. The hammering down force sometimes helps get things unstuck.

depends how reckless/retarded you want to be.

and are you riding for fun or commuting? if you are trying to commute on a bike which you can't insure i wouldn't bother. easy way to fuck yourself up.

if you ride on weekends just for fun and accept the massive risk just get it. had a guy in our riding group who lost his license for a driving offense he commited in his work truck.

rode with us on weekends and never had an issue. obviously russian roulette but it depends how long you want to risk it for. couple months shouldn't be an issue.
