My bike is fairly known to have a very plush one, but the previous owner has fucked about with it

>>15306712
If it's adjustable it needs to be changed for the rider. If you are a drastically different weight to the last owner then it may need to be resprung, revalved.

Why do naked bikes never have the same horsepower as the sport bikes they share engines with? For dual sports it makes sense because MX bikes need constant maintenance, but sport bikes keep working forever.

>>15307259
It's annoying but I'm pretty sure its from the general consensus that those of us who prefer the naked and more "comfort oriented" riding positions don't want such a race oriented engine either. Most commonly the motors are just tuned differently in a way they have more low/mid-range and less high range.

My bking though was only down about 10hp from the 08 busa it shared the motor with and that was just from an exhaust/intake difference iirc.

>>15307259
same reason they tend to have handlebars and not clipons, etc.

>2007-yamaha-fz6

Got it off google images, so blame whoever uploaded it. Also holy autism batman, are you a living FZ6 encyclopedia?

>>15307259
It's not about horsepower only anon.

Most old 600 i4s have very little pull in low revs, yet they go fucking bananas in high revs.

I was actually pretty skeptical about the whole "hurr durr usable tork" thing until I actually got an i4 sportsbike.

track oriented engine setups are not very practical for road and city usage. The bike doesn't respond very well in low revs, if you're cruising on 4k revs on sixth gear and want to do a quick overtake, you'd have to drop 2 gears and gun it.

On a twin or something with more torque you could just gun it from your current gear and pass.

The whole retuning thing isn't "they're make the engine more lame" but they're actually making it usable for a different purpose that is not the track (high revs all the time)

Yup. Well said anon. Having torque more available at a greater range of RPMs trumps any sport bike tuned for a track. It even makes it "feel" for powerful in a convuluted sort of way.

I'm getting a £10k bonus in a couple of months. Should I pay off the remaining balance on my current bike (£5k) or buy a used supersports cash in hand?

Just google it, bretty good beginner bike.
This one is mine

>>15307899
> financing toys
Silly man.
Buy a used supersport cash, spend the rest on really nice gear and some track days.

I'm trying to wrap my head around countersteering. I'm watching videos of actual traffic driving and at absolutely no point can I detect the front wheel being turned in the direction opposite the turn direction.
Say this one:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SF1ezf8LNNU

Someone on /dbt/ told me that if i ever took a corner at more than 10mph I was already countersteering subconsciously but I'm beginning to doubt I ever did that, perhaps I've really always decelerated down to 10mph? Or is the actual handlebar pressure really so subtle as to be invisible on video other than slow-mo motogp?

>>15307915
I wouldn't finance a supersports. My current bike is an adventure bike that I use as a commuter tourer. I'm just not sure whether to get completely debt free and put off buying a supersports or get one as soon as my bonus arrives.

I'm also not sure which to get (whenever that is) in terms of preferences, I really like how the Fireblade handles but much prefer the ergonomics of the S1000RR. However, I don't think I could find a good example of the BMW for £10k.

>>15307921
>Pretend you're on your bike (put your arms out in front of you
>Pretend you're leaning into a corner
>Note that your lower arm is now further forwards

Countersteering is very subtle.

>>15307888
It's dark magic, eresy banned eons ago.

>>15307940
Kek
Well i have coil packs so fuck it.

>>15307936
Is it more like "you lean left, what your hands do on their own is countersteering unless you violently force them to turn the handlebars in the direction of the turn" instead of "you know how you turn right by turning your handlebars right at low speed? well at high speed it's the opposite because of magic" ?

>>15307921
>Or is the actual handlebar pressure really so subtle as to be invisible on video other than slow-mo motogp?
That, and unless you're turning really hard (small radius, large angle, high speed) you'll turn the handlebars back into the direction you want to go once you've induced lean by counter steering.

Find a large open area or go on a highway. Somewhere where you'll generally go straight, but can veer off to the right or left a bit without putting yourself into danger. Accelerate to ~60 mph. Try to take ALL weight off your wrists (so you're holding the handlebar as lightly as possible), maybe even letting go with one hand. Look to the right (because if you look straight or even left, you will subconsciously try to fight the bike leaning to the right), consciously push the right handle forward CAREFULLY. The bike will try to go right.

>>15307888
>The minute the distrubutor looses contact (opens) it sparks? Duh fuq?

It's quite simple, the battery supplies DC but the coil only outputs a (high) voltage as a result of a change in voltage. When the contact is initially made, the rise in voltage is too slow to trigger a spark but the sudden drop when contact is lost is fast enough.

sup /dbt/, crashed for the first time this afternoon..
Thankfully I just hit a patch of oil or mud or something slippy at relatively low speed in a corner.

I'm fine and so is most of the bike, but the front wheel is now misaligned (I think).
Basically, if the bike goes straight, the handlebars are slightly to the left.

Tried to take a pic of the problem, but it's really just a minimal offset. Maybe 2 degrees.

>>15308077
Street Triple. You can manage on dirt on the R65, where do you go from there on a dual sport? Underwater?

It depends what you want, if you want the perfect all rounder that drops into corners smoothly and whisks you along at a modest speed the 800 is absolutely ideal. If you're a speed freak with the back of a 50 year old and the mentality of a 9 year old, the 1200 is tremendous. It's like comparing a Lotus to a Mustang, they each have their place.

I wouldn't even attempt to compare the two (three?) since they handle very differently.

>>15308082
>Basically, if the bike goes straight, the handlebars are slightly to the left.

try this:
leave the lower triple claps like they are and open the upper triple clamps on both sides. jerk the front a bit and they should in theory be aligned again. Tighten the upper triple clamps again
Look up the torque for the screws.
Probably something around 15Nm to 30Nm if it is a USD fork. Might be higher if it is a conventional fork


BTW on a unrrelated note, why am I always banned for "Proxy/VPN exit node." what is this even?

This is how the book tells you to do it.

>>15308082
Remember when your bicycle handlebars got out of alignment with the wheel, and you hit the wheel on a wall twisting the bars, realigning everything?

Try that, might help. If that doesn't work, do what anon described.

If what anon described doesn't help, your clamps probably twisted. Also check your handlebars carefully, they usually bend easily too.

If it has the came for ie both have USD forks or both have conventional forks, use this value. To much migth brake the tripple clamps, with too less the fork might slipp. but 12 NM seems like a good value

Well the front brakes lighten the rear wheel, then the engine braking breaks the rear wheel loose and then the magic happens.

It's mainly the engine braking but other factors apply. You should be using a lot of front brake to keep the rear end light and a tiny bit of rear brake to keep the engine from spinning up so fast.

That mileage isn't bad for that engine. SITTING is what kills motorcycles. Those drivetrains are excellent and it will be a good machine for learning to wrench a bit.

Visit brand specific motorcycle forums. Not here. /o/ is just a place to kill time. There are many Honda forums with a shitload of info.

Get a FACTORY service manual. You can probably download one. Honda books are very good.

There is so much info out there that if you do your homework you need make no mistakes. KISS (Keep It Stock, Stupid) generally applies. Leave the stock airbox and jetting intact. Pod filters are popular for looks and comfy carb removal but offer zero other advantages.

Inspect the machine carefully. Change all fluids and the oil filter. Inspect air filter. Inspect spark plugs and plug wires.

The only dumb question is one you don't ask.

Not much breaks on those, and I've worked on that generation since they were new.
