Sup /o/. I think I decided to keep onto my fzs600 for much longer time, since its perfect for me.
Question - is it worth to upgrade suspension on it? I'll be keeping it until it dies, which might take some time.
Question #2 - if I decide to upgrade its suspension, are there any other rear shock options than Ohlins? For example, would R6 rear shock fit it?

I'm keen to get a trackbike. I want to push my riding to the next level but realistically won't have that much time/money to throw at it. I'm thinking a 250 will be fine. I'm just undecided what to get:

>I'm keen to get a trackbike. I want to push my riding to the next level but realistically won't have that much time/money to throw at it.
Get a cookie cutter 600 supersport. Cheap, light, fast, they make perfect track bikes. You'll never outgrow it.

This a thousand times. The bike won't be a limiting factor until you're approaching Rossi levels of riding skills. Just get non-shit tires and adjust the suspension.

Questioner here
I'm there for technique, not so much for the actual laptimes.
Isn't it pointless getting a 600 if you're going to be amongst other 600s anyway?

The way I see it, a 250 will require me to be much more careful with braking and lines because losing momentum costs so much. Also things like initial purchase, fuel, tires, chains, and servicing is way cheaper on a small bike.

Although I'm open to ideas, what do you think?

>>15409818
250s or any slow bike with good suspension and tires are great for building technique but the aftermarket for 600s is better and the cost is honestly not that high. You can always limit your power with a throttle stop or restrictors if you want to focus on cornering technique without using power as a crutch to keep up.

>>15409818

>cheaper

That's midly dependent on area. Price of new parts online, sure, but if there's a large enough crowd of people running 600's you could probably get some great deals on lightly used stuff.

Don't get a 250 if you're planning on riding big open roadrace circuits. You'll be at top speed and still not able to approach a normal cornering speed for most of the other bikes.

Get a DRZ or something and ride go kart tracks. Entry fees are usually super cheap and so are bike repairs. Lowsiding one of these is usually no damage to the bike.

From what you listed I would be torn between the FZ6 and the TL1000, although that liter V-twin is really thirsty and a tank range of 100 miles is kinda annoying. I think I'd go with the FZ6. You can still go fast on one if you want and it's something you can ride over 2 hours or even tour without much discomfort.

Maybe you can consider more middleweight bikes with comfy ergos?

Nothing wrong with the gladius other than looks and weight and price. And the new SV fixes all these issues. It even weighs a bit less than gen 2 but it has a smaller fuel tank so that's cheating a bit.

Anon how is that even a question.

The CB500X is like those lifted hatchbacks with tyre marks on the paintjob advertising itself as an offroad vehicle. Oh wait, that's literally what they did.

The only thing you could take from it is the frontal windscreen, but to be honest if you do want something comfortable and utilitarian (and maybe touring-ish) you're already in another market, maybe take a look at the NC700 route.

MT07 has more power, more aftermarket, more identify (the CB looks bland as fuck) and I think is all around a much nicer bike to have.

i work in a honda dealership and i've ridden both extensively.
the engine on the cb500x is quite substantially more fun than the nc700 plant.
the nc700 is literally known for having a boring as fuck engine and power delivery. that's it's thing.

Just saw this picture posted on Craigslist. Am I correct in thinking that this is not how you're supposed to lean? Isn't the rider doing the exact opposite of what you're supposed to do? (leaning the bike instead of his body)

wtf why was my post deleted

>>15410442
his upper body should be low and his head down by the mirror.
but he is just cruising on a naked so it's acceptable.

>>15410442
It's a common mistake to scoot your butt off to the inside but not your upper body so you end up in a really strange position. It doesn't really matter unless you're pushing your limits so w/e.

Alright famalang, need some tips on cleaning my bike properly

Is it okay to use a hose? I mean just running water not putting your finger on it to spray hard along with this product I have that is like Car Soap that I use in my car.
Also can I do that, spraying the water hard on my spokes? they're black, I rode the bike thinking the chain lube had already settled down but it got into them, also in the inside of the plastics its filled with dirt

anything I need to protect when using water? I only know that I need to wait for the water to dry in the brakes for example

I have a motorcycle product which is supposed to clean and wax but other than leaving a nice look on it it doesnt clean anything


thanks in advance

I might suck it up and get a tank bag, if I figure out my tank is big enough.

The left one is pretty cheap, but I don't know if it's tall enough to lean on,
the one on the right is made by two pieces but it's too tall like that, the base is slighty bigger than the first model tough, might not be tall enough to lean on either tough.

Wich would you pick?

>>15410849
>Is it okay to use a hose?

I don't know, but seeing the amount of rust, disassembled parts and how water would easily get into them, and electrical tape I've seen I would never use a hose.

Bucket and sponge anon go a long way anon.

Not really. Your bike was built to be able to deal with rain so unless you intend on blasting water down the exhaust or into your electronics (which should be hard because they're usually pretty well protected) there's not much to worry about.

>>15411003
can comfirm this is the best method
also use an old dish or toothbrush for packed in grime.
extra step for riding in dirty conditions, wipe the entire bike down with wd40 after its dry to make it clean up easier next time

>>15410955
>implying my memes aren't on fleek

>>15411003
Also WD-40 and a rag to clean rims, eats right through that brake dust, chain lube and road grime mess that builds up on it.

>>15410815
>abs always makes sure wheel speed is identical, low traction = no brakes
>continuously going from lock to 0 brakes kills your stopping power
Low traction is LITERALLY when ABS kicks in: ABS releases brakes when the wheel begins to skid. A skidding wheel is not slowing you down, a wheel in contact with the road and rotating slowly is slowing you down. Overbraking, slippery surfaces (ice, oil on slick surfaces, etc), ABS will stop your quicker and in a shorter distance than manually pulsed/modulated braking.

The ONLY situation where locking a wheel will slow you more than ABS brake-release-brake cycling is in thick snow or dirt - that is packed just enough to ride over but not enough that you cannot sink in - where the dirt/snow mounding in front of the wheel blocks progress.

>>15410667
£30k. Most spare cash is hallmarked for VEEE ARRR for now, but new bike soon.

>>15411140
For slippery surfaces you want TC, not abs
>manually pulsed...
Bullshit, not mashing the brakes is always inferior to proper braking
