>6k rpm drone on the highway

Same thing for me. The PO even went as to have a 45 rear sprocket as opposed to a 43, so I'm sitting in 7k doing about 130km/h. It's retardedly loud, I'm a ridiculous distance far back (100m?) and people already start moving to the right.

Maybe for occasional use exhausts like that are doable, but everyday usage is pretty bad.

The little kids with their "woah" faces while you pass by in everyday traffic is priceless though. The keybangers are ridiculous too, I can see half a tunnel flashing behind me at night.

I did feel horribly cramped on an R6 though, if you're going to daily a hundred miles on one, perhaps there's a better alternative? I'm 6'1" in freedom units

late 94 CBR600F (F3)

Visually only the rear fairing is stock (I think?). Registration document said bike was red upon purchase. Probably pic related.

>>15455052
Sure anon. I bought this bike to do retarded mountain runs, I'll only sell it if I'm unhappy with the handling after new tires and perhaps some suspension tunning, so you'll be getting that. Why would you want it though? It's not very comfortable or very fast...

It does gives me 90s boners, but if I'm going to have something from the 90s just for the sake of it I need something with dual round headlights for the ultimate boner.

>>15455085
Might be a better bike as it has a 120/70 on the front as stock and the fuel injection hopefully stopped most POs from doing badly thought-out fueling changes. I think the suspension was improved a bit and it has a fuel light which is cool. It's a valid choice.

The engine and transmission are rock solid.

I think with these old bikes what you get varies too much with how the POs treated it. A neglected one will probably not be a lot of fun, but a well taken care of one can rock your socks off.

Still though, I sat on my buddies 2006 (I think) CBR600RR and it felt sooo smooth. The suspension and the build quality and everything nice and clean and so on. Made me feel like my CBR was something from the dark ages. Newer bikes have that appeal.

2nd time this week 2001 SV650S just up and dies at ignition. Both times battery is down to 0%. It's completely stock except for turn signals. Where the hell could a bike this primitive have a parasitic load? Is the battery fucked? I have no idea how old it is.

This is the second time I'm aware of this happening, I am positive I drove it around the block without trouble yesterday or the day before that, explicitly to check on the battery.

>>15455455

Check voltage while it's running. Could be a charging problem

>>15455455
id take a trip to the local auto shop or parts store and use a battery tester on it and see how it does with a load.
your bike being totally stock wit hEFI should be almost identical to my vstrom which also bleeds the battery down over weeks, it died once and now i have to top it up on a biweekly basis to make sure itll start.
if your batt fails a load test, pick up a new one and dont skimp and get a scorpion or some chink shit as youll need another within a year

The postal system is still cucking me out of a multitester, I'll call a mechanic tomorrow and ask if he has time.

I'm not rich enough to buy cheap things. The battery I have is listed at around 40 euro here, which is equivalent to most offered. Perhaps it really is ancient.

Hopefully the problem is not a busted alternator.

Are there any non-Harley bikes that use a belt final drive? A few BMW tourers use shaft drives, but I can never recall seeing belts on anything other than a cruiser.

Smoothness is key for ALL riding, not just going fast.

If you're not smooth you'll get jerked around and the bike will probably get upset and behave erratically regardless of whether you're going 10mph or 100.

Git gud.

Why is it so hard to find 2 stroke dirtbikes anymore? It's been like 6 years since I've rode them but I'm wanting to get a dirtbike again. Last one I had was a 2 stroke and I fell in love with them, now that I'm looking for one I can't find them anywhere.

The Diavel is belt drive.

SV650 with battery problem here

In lieu of anything else, I've recharged the battery (suspiciously it went back to full in less than 2 hours, first time this happened it took 5 or 6) and for testing put it back in the bike, started up once (worked) and left it like this. It's 6pm here now, I'll pull it out at midnight and see if it's drained some.

I guess I'll visit the mechanic about testing and the horn tomorrow anyway. At least the bike in general works. Bodes ill for technical inspection on the 25th and SEM but I'll do my best to succeed at both.

Are you wanting a primarily street or dirt helmet? If for both, I'd recommend the Shoei Hornet, as the visor has more vents so that it doesn't catch as much air.

I mean you should buy a shoei anyway because why would you waste your money on a meme helmet like the fucking variant which is as much as it is and still a poly carbonate helmet.

regular socket sets you could get away with harbor freight, although anything with electronics or a motor be wary of from there.

Nice tools (total Wera-boo). I've had enough of dealing with shitty cheese-grade chineseium tools for one lifetime.
Even the easiest job can be a massive pain in the ass with the wrong tool.

>>15455899
stick to older brands, mid/low 80's prefferably honda's or yahama if you want easy parts and reliability.

Proxxon Industrial, high quality but still reasonably priced.

About some 300m down this road the mostly abandoned houses ended and it pretty much turned into a mountain bike trail with rocks the size of tenis balls everywhere.

I should have taken a picture to show how ridiculous the whole endeavor was but I was too terrified trying to turn around and nopeing the fuck outta there.

I still didn't explore all I wanted, there most definitely is a way down to the beach down there, but I think it will be that — a hiking / MTB trail.

My dad was a mechanic so when he moved out he left his home box behind, probably $10k in Snap On tools, so I doubt I'll ever need to buy tools again. If I didn't have any and we're looking to buy though I'd go Blue Point. It's Snap Ons "cheap" brand but it's really good shit for a lot less money than Snap On.

I bought a 98 XT350 that needed work. Work was done through professionals. (I know nothing.) When I ride her, she likes to ride with the choke out. If I put it in, even after riding for a few minutes, she stutters and dies unless I really rev the throttle. I'm a total beginner and just riding around in a parking lot, barely getting into second gear. What's going on? I want to ride her off road, so I need to be able to put along on 1st and 2nd without having to rev it.

Thank you very much. I found this that goes over it. I think it may be out of my scope as I have no tools. It's unfortunate as it has just got out of the shop. :(

>>15456601
>plastic body work
>looks like a jap bike
>inline engine/sounds like a whistling lawnmower
>no unique features

the only difference between your bike and a jap one is yours have a couple of triumph stickers

hello, I am not a motorcycle guy, but I have to say my neighbors are probably the people you hate most about other motorcyclists. I know I do.

>no equipment (no helmet, t-shirt, etc)
>loud as fuck engine (penetrates walls and you can feel it) in small house neighborhood
>ride at 6 in the morning and 11 night with their loud engines.
>60% harleys 40% everything else.

I've yet to see anyone not fall into this list.
