Nice bike friend

I can't believe the XSR700 isn't coming to the US.

Hey /dbt/ I had a handlebar question. I have a stock 2015 Yamaha FJ-09 and the stock handlebars, while comfortable, make me feel goofy as fuck when I do any sort of spirited riding.

I understand these handlebars are "protaper" where at the clamps they are 1 1/8 and then taper to 7/8 at the controls.

My questions, what kind of handlebars should I look for if I want a more aggressive, leaned over riding posture? My buddy recommended drag bars which sounds like a good option but I'm not sure if I need lower bars, more forward bars, or bars that sweep back more. I have about an inch and a half of room before the control hit the fuel tank so any recommendations would help a lot.

>>15310960
""""""Land of the free""""""

>>15310976
The fuck is spirited riding

Is the anon who wants to import a CBR250RR still around? How's it going so far?

>>15310986
What's the difference between the RR and the R? Just bought a CBR250R last week.

>>15310989
RR is an inline 4. R is a thumper.

>>15310984
Where you're like tucked in a bit and hanging off the bike in the twisties

>>15310989
Check the videos for the RR and you will understand.

>tfw baiku still not running because I'm a lazy faggot and don't have anything to siphon fuel
Life is suffering.

>>15311068
Get a friend to give you a lift to a servo and take some petrol back?

You do have friends, right, anon?

>>15310976
It entirely depends on your riding style and what you actually want.

Wider bars give more precise steering input but make inputs much easier due to more leverage. Thinner bars will give you quicker steering but less ease in steering.

rake on the bars allows you to fine tune the above. This is why most sport bikes tend to have a fairly aggressive rear rake.

As for height relating to riding posture, check cycle ergos and use the boxes to move bar position and you'll be able to see what posture X changes will put you into.

Honestly, you should probably get a different bike if you can't handle an FJ-09 in the twisties.

Also
>tucking on a naked bike
This literally only makes a real difference if you're almost capping the bike's speed. It's a naked bike as well. You shouldn't need to tuck in. A bit of lean-off mid corner will do the trick just fine. You should be able to scrape hard parts before you're even worrying about body positioning in the first place. If you think you need to tuck behind a nonexistant wind screen for better CoG on the twisties to go 80%, then I doubt you're at that point.

>>15311081
>You do have friends, right?
Yeah, but none with trucks. That's not the problem.

>Short circuit is somewhere in the harness under gas tank, I'm guessing where the power commander goes into the harness some knobhead didn't actually close off soldered connections, and they arced when I tried to run it off a battery charger because apparently there's not a rectifier on the damn thing

Just bought a CB500X to commute on- Its been a while since Ive ridden.

Before i migrated out here to Ca, i used to restore older UJMs on the east coast.

I missed it, but city riding is pretty daunting compared to country rolling hills.

This bike is great overall- it doesnt do anything spectacular, but it does a lot of things well!

I'm not scared so much because crashing made me gun shy, so much as because I'm the one who put the bike back together and I keep imagining that I did something wrong and the bike is going to kill me.

>>15310989
RR, aka MC22, is a proper sportbike. It's got a high-revving four cylinder engine, clipons and a dual disc front end.

2011+ CBR250R's are single cylinder "sport"-standard bikes with fairings. They've got an upright riding position, budget brakes, budget suspension and they use a retuned CRF250L engine iirc.

MC22's make 40-45hp depending on the year, whereas 2011+ CBR250's make 24-25hp at best.

What do you guys do when you go out for a ride on country roads and you catch up to another random biker also just riding around? Sneak up on them and kick them? Follow them? do a willy?

>>15311237
>do a willy

>>15311237

>>15311244
>t. someone who can't willy

>>15311213
You have to take into account the early MC22s were badged as CBR250R, not necessarily the "RR" at the end. In Which case I think the differences are fairly trivial.

Just looking through local dealership/gear stores and found this gem

You know you can fix it now. Build up confidence by riding slow but with perfect lines. Then add gas.

Straights, probably not. Corners? Anyone's guess.

>>15311315
>You know you can fix it now.
The fixing it part is what I'm worried about.

Since the biggest thing I had to fix was the forks, and I had to take them apart and put them back together with new parts, I keep imagining the front end failing catastrophically at 80mph.

Or gods forbid, the brakes not working properly.

I think we'll be riding a good mix. I've been riding a lot longer, but for most of my riding career I've been on ancient British bikes with 6hp/litre.

>>15311334
So do some corners slow but hard. Cornering is much harder on the front suspension than cruising on a freeway and will show up anything you've missed out. Biggest danger with rebuilding forks imo is doing it wrong and having the oil leak down the stanchions onto the brakes.

>>15311495
First of all take the plug out and ground it against the block, you'll get a better view of the spark. Then if the spark's weak, replace the plugs as a service item. If this doesn't cure it, see whether all plugs are weak. If so, this points to something other than plugs, check your earths. Are the coils known to be good? Are they the right spec for your bike or did they change the coils for the later model? Once you have the spark good, THEN worry about fuelling. I always approach running issues in this order: spark, then fuel, then compression. Make a logical order of checks and then work through it. You're gonna make it.

So when's WR Anton getting a new bike?

Cleaned it up a bit.

Survived first commute on bike. No twisties or anything. Thanks to the magic of being as small as a bicyclist I was able to pass about 4 of them and shaved off about 10-15 minutes As I reached my workplace I parked on a beutiful patch of grass that the bike wanted to listen to so I did some impromptu weightlifting.

My question is, why did I get so sweaty? Was it the stress of picking up a bike solo for the first time? Was it the 5 minutes of walking up stairs in gear? Does /dbt/ get noticeably sweaty after a commute?

>>15312067
Yeah, you can get away with anything with money. I've been pulled over because they wanted money and this looks like an expensive bike.

Im not quite sure about tax brackets for bikes, so I took at the tax records of my dad's scooter (110cc) and my bike and by the looks of it, you pay more for a bigger engine size. Doesn't look like its a set price for each range of sizes, you just pay for what you have. But it might also have to do something about the price of the bike, since my bike was double the price of the scooter, and I had to pay around double the tax, so those two things might go hand in hand.

hard starting issues when cold or really hot can point to a compression issue. do a leakdown test nigga. you might have valves out of a adjustment at the very least, or shit rings or something else more enjoyable.

>>15312165

>>15311495
Might also need a valve adjustment, my thumper was a bitch to kick when I got it, hot or cold, I adjusted the valves and presto!

I mean I would get an exhaust system, that's just a necessity. Then maybe frame sliders, gotta be safe. Oh, and some new tyres. Probably some shorty levers too. I want a new windscreen also, maybe some new mirrors to go along with it.

Nuda a best.

Also, got an idea, for the plastic covering the tank, I reckon I want to get pic related stuck onto the plastic covering the tank, except get it painted white, glossy or matte, not sure yet, and have pic related put on, then clear coated if gloss.

What do you guys think?

It's a really good bike for everything, best motor i've ever ridden, smooth and comfy under 4000 rev, and wheelies in 4th gear with no effort above, all of this while being comfy as fuck. wouldn't recommand it offroad thought.

The only thing i hate about it is the ground clearance, pegs are scraping all the time in hardcore twisties, to the point where i'm going back to driving it like a supermoto sometimes(foot forward), looks a bit ridiculous.

And yet I'm still happy. Fucking love this thing, but I wish RE had made their announcement that they'll be launching 600-700cc bikes in 2017 before I'd bought mine. That would have made highway cruising a lot easier.

>>15312312

Now that RE is making bikes with EFI, they seem to be a solid option for commuting and bouncing around town. I feel comfortable taking it just about anywhere, as long as I can keep my highway time to a minimum. While I can keep up with traffic fine, the vibrations at 75-80 are enough to make riding uncomfortable.

>>15312338

I've had it for a few months and have put 2100 miles on it. I haven't had any performance issues. However, I did have the heat shield fall off when I was coming back home after visiting my girlfriend in Metro Detroit and hopping over to Ontario. I was on the road a lot that day, but I think the problem was that the bolts holding the shield on were low quality.

I have a 2-year warranty, so I'll be getting it replaced by the dealer for free this weekend.

Otherwise, zero problems. You can tell it's not a modern performance bike, but it'd be stupid to buy an Enfield if speed is your priority anyway.

My front brake doesn't work for shit and i don't know why. Like there is frm pressure on the handle, it brakes maybe like 3% of what it should be, I can squeeze as hard as I can and roll it with my foot.

I cleaned the rotors, there is no leaks in the line and I purged the fluid out of the lines and presumably any air. Brake pads have meat on them.

Any ideas?

I was going to try and get a used bike, something like a KLR or XR. Found out that 2014 Versys's were on sale at a local dealership for 4k base price and ended up getting this.

Handles great, looks good. I actually like the green color.
