Literally kys yourself

First for Ninja 300 best bike

I adjusted the clutch cable on my bike so it catches a lot earlier and holy fucking shit is this amazing.

I don't know why factories don't do this stock. I brought it in at least a full inch and my take offs, shifting, and rev matching are all so much more smooth.

You guys really need to do this if you haven't already

FINALLY

Hey guys

>>15468975
Why would I be trolling?

I don't know if it's actually good or bad for the bike. The user manual says to give about 2mm-3mm of slack when measuring and I do about 4mm-5mm so it's not that bad. Some people do 15mm

I'm Tom, I was here last night

Hey /dbt/, I've been looking at Ninja 250's for years now and know a shit tone about them from watching countless Youtube videos and literature. My father works with a mechanical engineer who specializes in motorcycles and has been on two wheels his entire life and I have been in contact with him for a while. He says that in his opinion for a me, a new rider (although I have taken the MSF course), he recommends the Suzuki SV650.
I was hesitant at first, but I found one on CL that looks nice. I don't know much about them yet, but I've been doing a lot of research and I am just about ready to buy my first bike in the next few weeks.
Is the SV650 going to be a better choice than a Ninja? What is a good price? Here is the post in question https://cleveland.craigslist.org/mcy/5666549046.html

>>15469019
The ninja 250 was my first bike and while I don't necessarily regret it, I do wish I had started off with a different bike.

Contrary to popular opinion, it's actually a pretty fast bike (especially if you get a sub 2008 model with the 40hp engines). The SV650 is faster, but not by much - and as a beginner, you aren't even going to be able to properly utilize any differences in speed/acceleration.

The ninja 250 is easier to maintain/work on so you'll learn a lot about motorcycle mechanics by doing so. It's a small ass bike that weighs little and is low to the ground so it's easy to ride and manage. If you're a short guy, then I would start with the 250.

Other than that, it really doesn't fucking matter. You're going to want to upgrade either bike after a certain point. I would have stayed with the 250 longer if it were a SV650 or maybe a KLR (which you should also check out) but it wouldn't have changed the end result

tldr: doesn't matter. get the ninja if you're short

Speaking of which, how am I supposed to get slip on exhaust(s) for my 2005 EX250? It has two fucking exhaust pipes (one on each side)

i cant bring myself to pour sweat and tears into a design and then throw it down the track at 140. i'm doing something but probably not til the season's end, and it wont be itansha

So my 1098 is going into a build over the winter here in aus I'll be slapping in chain and sprockets going down 1 tooth on the front to make it more friendly at slow speeds a new 300CCA 23AH lithium battery, mofset VR, uprated battery terminals to the starter and fixing up miscellaneous bits like the shifter and radiator, also getting tuneecu and cables to play around with the map and save it just in case too.

are you sure you want to fuck about with lithium batteries?

I know a mate who went that route and it was a big pain, supposedly LiFePO4 is the way to go for automotive purposes if you are though.

I dunno it just doesn't seem to be worth the weight savings for a road bike.

>>15469163
I don't think so, they're spacious enough.

as a 6'2 bloke I can say the SV650 is a great size though.

>>15469287
I'm sure he means a motorcycle-specific Lipo4.

>>15469163
No, but you'll feel better on a larger/taller bike. I am 5'7 and my 250 feels like a toy now.

My penis became part of the tank by the time I got home. But it's okay, between the nice new helmet and jacket thats on the way, heat won't be an issue in my new area much longer.

Also for the record that bungee job was actually very secure, and I'm quite proud of it.

I'm looking at the R3s, the used market sucks balls here so I might end up buying new since the used ones are going for $3~400 less than new prices.

For what purpose

http://bellingham.craigslist.org/mcy/5661832542.html

>>15469475
I don't know if I'd say "good". Better than Bilt or Sedici but nowhere near the quality of a Shoei or Arai

>>15469287
More than happy to fuck around with the battery, it'll be a shorari one motorcycle specific so not a bang up job, the 1098 is known for needing a lot of CCA and having to be placed on a charger when not riding even now with its 220cca lead acid it's a bitch to start and can drain the battery quick as anything and you can't leave it for 4 or more days without a charge.

i'm thinking of taking apart my 2 stroke to fix the transmission for the first time ever and possibly rebuild it while it's disassembled

is this a stupid idea? (never rebuilt or done anything major to a bike before)

any tips?

>>15469506
kind of near the quality of shoei and arai for a fraction of the price

Haha it'd be better than taking the battery out and bringing it home to charge when it doesn't start, my Ducati is currently at work with no battery and you can just forget trying to bump start it definitely not the most friendly bike. Although I still have my Honda 400 so I won't be stopping riding just giving the duc some love

>>15469581
that's a lot of miles for an old air cooled bike but the price is good, if it's in good shape and drives i'd say you did well

>>15469593

Everything was kept well maintained and it runs like a charm, only things fucked were the exhaust was in the middle of being replaced and the front brake was removed. I know I sound like a pussy but it's a hefty son of a bitch, but I suppose I'll get used to it.

I wouldn't buy a 1st gen S1000RR for the cam chain shit but I'd have a 2nd gen S1000RR for sure.

I'm not a racer so it not being that impressive in WSBK/BSB doesn't affect me, wouldn't be a track bike.

I would in general prefer a japanese bike just for simplicity and reliability but the S1000RR gen 2 would make a sick streeter litre.

It's on par with HJC, obviously not as good as Arai or Shoei but the alliance is a great helmet for the price, and the airframe is extremely light. Only thing thats separating is the handmade quality and the snell cert. But even then you dont NEED snell cert at all in order to have a good helmet.

For a very long time BMWs weren't cool with young people and older people tend to have big bikes, that's just how the world is.

>>15469728
I know it sounds cliche but have you ever rode a BMW before? It's such a refined bike.

In 2001/2 and 2005/6 the gsx-r1000 was head and shoulders above it's competition, ESPECIALLY 2001, it had 20 hp more than the nearest competition.

therefore, people wanting "Da fastest" bike would buy a GSX-R1000.

The current equivalent is the S1000RR.

>riding your bike with flip flops

I don't even like wearing flip flops in situations that warrant them (beach, pool, water parks).. they're just uncomfortable for me. I can't imagine wearing them while riding a motorcycle.

Hell, I did a bit of squidding around the neighborhood today just to get the engine warmed up so I could change the bike's oil and it was really weird feeling the footpegs on my feet through my tennis shoes.

>tfw your town has a city ordinance against using a cell phone while driving unless you have a "hand's free" setup

I still see motherfuckers driving around with their phone up to their ear or staring at the screen trying to read / type out a text..... I wonder if the local PD would start mailing out tickets if I sent them video footage of drivers using their phones. It's a $500 ticket here.

HAHAHA SUCK IT FLOREDA FAG

soo I needed an O-ring for the oil filter on my DR650 when I changed my oil a little while ago and I went by Home Depot and ended up buying this O-ring set:
http://www.homedepot.com/p/DANCO-200-Piece-O-Ring-Kit-34443/100135126?cm_mmc=Shopping%7cTHD%7cG%7c0%7cG-BASE-PLA-D26P-Plumbing%7c&gclid=CjwKEAjwn7e8BRCUqZiP_vnrtBkSJAC_lp4HMmoPu_sdPpBOOcWJ7t9neb2qTF9yFhrL4N_td0IP-hoCmDnw_wcB&gclsrc=aw.ds

Should I be concerned that those o rings are made for plumbing use and not automotive use? Should I go to O'reilly's tomorrow and get an "automotive o ring"?

Yeah, leave it open and go for a ride. If you don't experience the same problem you've been having then you've found the culprit. If the bike still bogs down with the cap open then you can cross the fuel cap off the list of possible causes.

I was supposed to be hitting that beach when the tide was most of the way through going out... The tide chart website I had planned the trip around was fucking wrong and I arrived as the tide was high and still coming in................... 5 miles of riding through bottomless sand and 2-3ft deep mats of seaweed with a HEAVILY laden bike, 3 drops, near 100F degree temperatures.......

It was supposed to be an easy 20mi ride on clean packed sand. I turned around after 5mi and 2hrs and slugged my way out of there. Wearing full gear I was pretty sure I was gonna have a heat stroke.

At the farthest point I reached I still believed that the tide was gonna go out so I stripped down to my underwear, found an empty 5 gallon bucket that had washed up, and sat down near the water with my feet barely touching the surf. 30 minutes later the surf was coming up to mid shin and I had to abandon my plans to ride through McFaddin.

When I did level one of the Californian Superbike School a few years ago, there was a guy in his 60's on one. He told me he wanted to use his Ducati track bike, but it was in the shop, so he just brought his tourer so he didn't miss the day. I remember thinking how shit it was and how slow he would be.
Until he went around the outside of me on one corner with a trial of sparks following him...
Learnt to be open minded that day.

Ha! Nice. Old peepee don't fuck around man.

>>15470908
Aww yea

My big question is how does it compare to the land whale known as the goldwing. Nothing against the gw, just looking at other options obviously

>>15470921
A goldwing is not sporty at all
It's a couch on 2 wheels that can get up to speed surprisingly easily

>>15470949
Sporty enough. That guy on the yellow gw on the tail of the dragon is a bad ass

Damn that guy twirled that harley around like a petite asian woman.

How can bikes be so much lighter than cars?
Could you make something like an indycar with comparable weight?

>>15470918
I am always in awe of the people that have that much control over a bike that heavy

>>15470989
Ever rode one? You don't feel the weight once you get moving

>>15470989
As long as it has torque to match the weight it's not hard at all. It's not like you're using brute strength to hold the bike up in those corners. It's all engine to turn.

My bike is topheavy as fuck on a full tank and even then once it's moving you just use the throttle to stand it.

>Why would someone do this to a poor f6b

What a cruel world we live in :(

Is a 2006 Bull XB9SX still a good bike for mild sporty riding and commuting? I'm currently on an 02 Honda Shadow 750 and wanted something sporty and a bit quicker. I really only ride to work and back, maybe 10 miles per day.

Guy wants to even trade for my bike. Or I can wait and buy a used GSXR600 or R6

Pedo spotted

>>15470985
Twice as many wheels.
Complicated steering.
Larger engine.
Typically a large seat and driver controls.
Larger exhaust.
Driveshafts.
More bodywork.
It all adds up, but many karts are actually lighter than a lot of bikes. Put a liter+ engine in a super-kart and you'll have an extremely dangerous beast of a kart with weight around a bike but it would very hard to drive.

Only the small capacity road bikes are built in poo in loo lol, KTM is an Austrian bike brand.
Baja autocross own 47% of the company.
Cross industries still runs KTM.

energy ambulance you say?
So is it for mending power lines or people after someone fucks with electricity?

>>15471272
>the time for Buells has come and gone
Nah, it's just starting. I'd gladly drop $13k for an 1190RX if my insurance wouldn't rape me for it. The new ones are going very much in the right direction, but I feel like Harley fucking over buell with the blast and other bikes like that kinda tarnished the reputation so people are kinda hesitant to buy them. More people need to support the company for it to actually build any name.

>>15469019
I have an 06 SV650S and I can't think of a single other bike I would've wanted to start on

>>15471267
Idk that's what it's called in Poland. Or Energy Emergency but that's alliterative and sounds even stupider.
Quick response for when for one reason or another the electricity isn't going where it's supposed to. I. E. A car drives into a pole. Idk desu senpai my English turns out to be pretty weak outside of shit posting

>>15471266
Is there even a name for that "game"? It's common around the world but I never heard a name for it, everyone just knew it.

>>15471280
Lies, you thought about the gsr400 and the cb400 admit it.

>>15471278
Wait, Buell is making bikes again? I had no idea. Anyway, I guess I'll wait for a GSXR if this particular trade would be a bad move

>>15471293
>Wait, Buell is making bikes again?
Yeah? They have been since like 2014. They reformed under EBR and aren't using shit sportster engines anymore with harley axing any good ideas. The 1190RX makes 185hp, shits on the paningale, gets 60mpg, looks good, and uses a rotax engine that isn't shit for $13k. The 1190SX does all the above in a naked bike for $10k. Everything is perfect to buy new right now.

>>15471287
i think your English is amazing, Energy Ambulance has made my afternoon. We'd probably call them a Power Networks Emergency Response Vehicle (ERV).

>THE JOURNEY ENDS HERE.
On October 30, 2009, Buell Motorcycle Company closed its doors, bringing an end to a 26-year run. Thanks to all of our customers, dealers and employees for an unforgettable ride.

Am I missing something?

>>15471305
That's neat. I always felt bad that they were a failed project because of bean counters.
I can't afford a new bike, but that's rad.

>>15471337

If you're a eurofag their bikes can't be sold to you because lolnoABS

>>15471338
Same. Apparently the service writer at my local MV dealership has one as a track bike and the guy absolutely raves about it.

>>15471301
Holy shit now I remember it being called "asshole", lel.
I still play it with my sister occasionally. At my school we had the rule that the person that got you could keep punching you in the shoulder until you said "thank you".
Which made it painful for newbies.
> guy makes asshole gesture
> newbie looks
> guy starts punching him in the shoulder
> "just say thank you m8"
> newbie is scared because guy is punching him
> scared that if he says thank you, he'll be ridiculed and hurt even more
> so he doesn't say anything and keeps getting punched
Fun times.

Also the "slapping game".
> sister and me facing each other at arm's length
> take turns slapping each other in the face; whoever started got to choose the strength of the slap, the other player could slap him back without repercussions (so there's always an even number of slaps)

Or "butt boxing".
> stand facing away from each other
> bump butts into each other's
> loser is whoever loses their footing first
> tactics include "boxing" rhythmically, then skipping one so the other braces himself, leans against a "punch" that never comes and stumbles

I never knew about that drawing until I came to 4chan, I guess that one's only common in the US, or at least the anglosphere.

>>15471356
That's really, really cool. I wish they would advertise better. It's always been a mystery to me why there aren't really any American race bikes.

>no ABS
You buy an R1 and you're riding a fucking computer. This makes it even better to me. In fact, I decided a while ago that if I ever bought a literbike, it would be a Fireblade just because of the near complete lack of space magic electronic crutches.

Buell actually came out saying that he didn't want to go the whole electronics route because it's simply more fun to be involved with it. They come with 21 level TC but that's it, and even then most people just turn it off.

>>15471382
>21 level

that is retarded

>>15470646
Could've blown a fuse, go take it to a mechanic to check the electrical something could be shorting out.
