SJCAM SJ4000 if you just want a basic, cheap action cam that makes somewhat decent videos.

Really? I was only joking when I siad that.

You can do cheap VIN checks at the PPSR website.

>>15472788
Yeah, you spooked me and I did a check.
It's literally encumbered and I didn't know.

Already have an offer, so hopefully I can just seal that and be done with it.

>>15472777
ride around in an empty parking lot for a while first so both of you can get used to riding 2-up

tell her (him?) to hold onto you and ALWAYS lean with you -- if he (she?) suddenly moves or sits up when you're doing a maneuver it will cause the bike to not handle properly and you may drop it or run wide in a corner

>>15472777

>>15472777
tell them to either move with you or don't move at all, jack up the preload a few notches obviously and remember that the person on the back is a wobbling moving shifting weight in the first place and some simple things like low speed control will be trickier simply because of that somewhat destabilizing influence.

>>15472792
Lucky who ever owes money on it hasnt defaulted, as the finance mob could just take it off you.

Ah, yeah I dunno then. I'm sure you can find something locally, I just think the GoPro cameras are about 2x as expensive as they really should be after seeing what the cheap knockoffs like SJCAM can do for 1/3 of the price.

'sup faggots.

Need some questions answered from US fags.

UK Rider (21) on an A2 restricted license. (Full license, just restricted to 47hp)
Looking to go to Florida next year and wish to hire a bike for the week or so I go for.

What sort of bike will I be restricted to?
How hard will it be to get insurance?
What sort of things to look out for?

>>15472792
>>15472839
These aren't me, guys.

>>15472914
I don't have to, because I'm always imaging life with a bike.

>>15472924
why don't you google it you fucking mongoloid.
unless someone on here works for a bike rental company they aren't going to know more than you do.

>>15472924
You dont need insurance in Florida. Nor are there "restrictions" like you eurocucks are used to. No one in their right minds would rent a motorcycle, most youll get is a moped.

>>15472938

so ever since i got my klr650 ive been learning offroad stuff and about a month ago i saw some enduro riding and started watching. i quickly learned how to get the front end up without adding much speed to hop logs on my klr. a week or two ago i started watching moto-trials and fell in love.
ive learned how to stand on a dead stop without dabbing on my klr650 for about 5 seconds in about a half hour of practice, and i can go in a straight line at half idle speed (i dont know the speed, but its slower than 2mph) for easily 100 feet, and now know i want a trials bike. but ive got some issues.
1. im poor, i cant afford 7500 for a new bike
2. i cand find any used (the best ive found 1 on cl from 30 years ago and the last 30-year-old bike i got died in about 5 months)
3. ive got no where to ride. i live on an acre and a half of land so i could probably set up some big logs, cement blocks, etc and make a small course

so here is where this is going
can i build a small dirt bike into a trials bike?
the vintage trials bike look like they were ust regular dirtbikes fitted with minimalistic seats and smaller tanks, and just cut back.

>tldr
>buy klr650
>learn offroad stuff
>learn about trials
>practice what i can on klr
>want real trials bike
>cant afford new, cant find used
>can i build one from dirtbike?

Why are motorcycles such fucking scams? How are consumers still putting up with all this bullshit?

Daily reminder that "break in" periods are complete scams designed to cut production costs. Any modern vehicle is broken in during the production phase before sale

Daily reminder that a "600 mile service" is a complete fucking scam that should be handled during the production phase. When is the last time you saw someone buy a car new and take it back for a "600 mile service"?

Daily reminder that all these meme replacement components in motorcycles (failed rear wheel bearing, failed cam chain tensioner, etc...) are intentional and designed to keep fucking the consumer.

Bikes require a lot more maintaining than a car. Everyone knows the 600 mile service is a fucking oil change, and if they dont theyre cucked. Parts are also a lot more delicate and exposed to the world than a car is.

>>15472938
>no one would rent a motorcycle

Mate, thousands of people rent motorcycles every day. Literally rented a BMW F800 GT last weekend during my trip to Vegas and it was the most fun I have had in a while.

Vid related: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDcZbvZX_3U

>>15472950
I don't think you've ever seen how an older car is maintained. And if you don't do an oil change after 1000 miles in your car you'll only have yourself to blame when after selling it the next owner will have a fucked car

>>15472950
my klr gets serviced like a car and ive yet to have a problem with it. the only things ive changed wwere my rear shock spring to accomodate luggage more easily and a lo-pro oil drain plug because im stupid with it doing log hops and shit and im paranoid about snapping it off or cracking my crank case.

>>15472971

>£10 every 10-14 on my 650 depending on how hard I ride it.

>>15473002
Of course it does. You're probably riding an older KLR which is one of the best bikes ever made. I am talking mainly about any of these new 2015+ bikes. Have you seen the maintenance checklist for an FZ-09 or any BMW?

I'm maintaining my unreliable italian just fine

Just got an R3, everyone tells me 87 gas is better because the motor is low compression and I'll get better mpg the guy at the dealership says it's better to fork over the extra 25 cents and get 91 to avoid future problems.
What do?

>>15473032
>>15473019
except for the radiator shrounds, i broke one off day 1 of owning it, the other broke off a week later on the freeway and smacked me in the chest. i wanted to get an ims tank anyways. at least thats what ive been telling myself for the last year

>>15473048
read the manual

>>15473048
Bikes like high numbers
A small size p-twin will benefit less than, say, a v2 or v4, but using the minimum required octane won't kill you

>>15473039
finally someone who admits the italian bikes are unreliable. they handle amazingly but they're for people who like the idea of going somewhere but dont care about actually going there. if i had to go around a track id jump on an aprilia ducati. but when i haveto get there on time every time ill take a honda or kawasaki

>>15473048
Is the motor detonating?
No it's not. Use 87 because it has less additives

>>15473033
Probably because they assume that the 18-25 age range are completely fucking moronic fuckwits who can't be trusted with their own lives.

Even though at that age, we're expected to sort out our entire future and lives and jobs and have a million kids. But we can't be trusted to ride a liter bike. But CAN be trusted to drive a 7.5 Tonne wagon which does a SHIT load more damage in a crash.

I've had a SJ4000 for over a year but I'd go for the SJ5000+ if I was gonna buy another helmet cam today, it has a great sensor and chipset and will do 1080p at true 60fps -- the SJ4000 does 1080p30 and uses "fake 60fps" for its 720p60 mode so you might as well just use 720p30 instead.

The 5000+ has a better chipset and sensor than the 5000x elite but the elite has 4k and gyro stabilization. The 5000+ is much better in low light if that matters to you. I'm not sure how much smoother the videos of the 5000x would be on a motorcycle due to the gyro stabilization, it might make a lot of difference or it might be a minimal improvement.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GH-3BBrsqvE

>>15473254
Also, the 5000+ can only use up to 32GB memory cards while the 5000x elite can use larger cards.

>>15473254

looks like the SJ5000X gyro stabilization makes a good bit of difference in this video

Started riding with in-ear earbuds with music and podcasts on my commute. I'm impressed by how I now shift better than before: I focus more on the feeling - tactile feedback - between my legs rather than sound of the engine which I never put much trust in anyway. I'm also one of those drivers who operates better with audio, and today I proved it applies to bikes as well, I overtook better and split lanes at the only red light I encountered.
>>15473111
Monday 11th I was scheduled for vehicle inspection, dead battery fucked me. Sometime after it did it again, and third time, I suspect a parasite load so I left the battery charged, disconnected from everything, put it in the bike in the morning and FART no ignition, and I can't make my mechanic appointment; where I hoped he'd ID the parasite.

New battery new life.

sounds like me when i had to take our my rear suspension. i wound up taking the bike off the stand and putting a wrench on both sides of the bolt/nut with one pointing straight down the other against the passenger peg. in neutral i ran it over a curb to break the nut. it was stupid and probably risky but it worked

I'm looking at KLR650s on CL and, while the price is often right, these people have lists and lists of mods they've done. Isn't the old adage to never buy another person's project?

You don't want to buy someone's half baked, poorly executed project, true. Most dual sport bikes that get modded are just getting quality aftermarket parts bolted onto them.

My DR650 came with protaper bars, corbin seat, bash plate, side case armor, lower & wider footpegs, luggage rack and panniers, stiffer spring on rear suspension, air box mod, aftermarket air filter, it was re jetted to match the improved airflow, seal savers, fork brace, etc.. The guy I bought it from had all the stock parts he took off / replaced in a box along with extra oil, oil filters, a couple of extra tires, service manual, and other shit that he gave me with the bike. Pretty much all the mods he had done to the bike are things that I would've eventually done myself, and looking at the MSRP of the shit he put on the bike there is well over $1500 worth of quality aftermarket parts bolted onto the bike. It saved me the time and money of having to put that shit on there myself.

When we talk about "not buying someone else's project" we mean don't buy someone's CB that they did a shitty job of converting to a "cafe racer", don't buy someone's bobber project, don't buy ANYTHING where the previous owner tried to modify the frame or subframe of the bike.

A dual sport with a lot of quality aftermarket parts that have been bolted on is just fine and will likely save you time and money because a lot of that shit is stuff you'll need / want anyway.

Maybe it's because the battery sits on it's side or something.

It works fine without a battery tender because I ride it all day erry day anyway, but if it ever sits it goes on the plug.

I hope I don't have one of those, I work week shifts then a week I use it only sparingly.

I just have the tender set up next to my bike's parking spot in my garage, it takes 5 seconds to plug it in when I park it.

I think you're overestimating how hard it is to put the bike on the trickle charger. You just wire in the plug that comes with the charger and run it somewhere on the bike. Then it's just a quick plug-it-in and leave it type deal.

It's your first bike. Use it for what you need it for. Practice on it and get better. No need for a brand spanking new 2057 Electric Boogaloo Turbo G6 when you don't even know how to apex a corner yet.

whats better a car or a bike

I have a lot of protected right or left turns on my route to work, like a sweeper or u turn under an overpass onto a feeder road or whatever, and sometimes people don't know they're protected and stop to yield to oncoming traffic even though we have our own lane with a solid white line for a good hundred feed after the turn. Is it rude to beep at them / go around? I don't want to be the motorcycle between one dumbass who stopped unnecessarily and another dumbass who assumed everyone kept moving through the turn.

This happens to me at least once a week and I usually beep once or twice when I see them stopping or just go around.

>>15474130
Where do you live? Bikes are better but cars allow ease when running errands

>>15474130
why would you even ask this question in a BIKE THREAD?

>>15474144
because most bikers have driven a car but not the other way around

>>15474130
Completely depends on your circumstances.

>>15474149
In what way do you mean better? More fun or practical or what?

>>15474156
just the first thing that comes to your mind when asked that question

I don't normally ride around people in that situation unless I feel like I really need to for safety. I usually try to keep my bike positioned where I have an emergency exit path to one side or the other of the car in front of me just in case I need to get out of the way of someone coming up behind me. Just do whatever you think you need to do to stay safe.

>>15474159
The first thing that comes to my mind is that it's too vague a question to answer.

>>15474159
Bikes are a lot more fun but have much less utility.

Just want to get out of the house and drive / ride around for a while? I'd rather take the bike

Going grocery shopping? I'd rather take the car

Going over to a friend's house to hang out? I'd rather take the bike

Dropping off someone at the airport? The car is the only feasible option

>>15474159
I've ridden every day for the last year or so.

My opinion is thus;
Cars are more convenient, more comfortable, easier and safer.

But bikes are better.

Guys where is my foot supposed to be positioned when riding? I know it sounds stupid but I got these toe sliders on my new shoes and I just can't comprehend how I am ever going to get low enough to scrape them. Makes me think they are in the wrong position or something.

Riding a ninja 250 btw.

>>15474252
Can confirm.

>>15474098
Exactly this.

>>15474253
Ball of foot on peg high up for ground clearance.

You can lean until you scrape hard parts without ever changing body position. The bike will hold it.

>>15474252
I want that specific sticker w2c?

>>15472777
Others have already said to tell your pillion to lean with the bike. Make sure you shift as smooth as you can, ride that rear break even more than normal at slow speed for stability, you often might need to be a gear lower than usual. Relax and breath, it'll seem strange and unwieldy at first but you'll get used to it.
I once picked my brother up from the airport on my CB1100, he was wearing a big backpackers backpack that weighed about 22kg, he said every time I accelerated away from a stop it felt like it was trying to pull him down and off the back of the bike. That was probably a bad idea.

>>15474383

Yeh, I don't think I'll be seeing her anymore. Why is it so hard to get teens and 20-somethings to just pay attention to the road while they're driving these days? It seems like every youngish person I see on the road is always on their fucking phone.

>>15474650
So, a bigger and thinner front tire is very importent in offroad?

Sorry, very new to offroad

>>15474672
yeah. the bigger the front tire the bigger the footprint (less sinnking into mud/sand) and the bigger thing you can get over without having to pop the front. the rear doesnt need to be as big because it lifts the center of gravity and momentum will pull it over obstacles.

WRENCH. ON. YOUR. SHIT

>>15474782
Yeah it's a very interesting family of bikes. What you said is completely true. I've been riding around with the valve head leak for a while now because of the mess you've gotta make to reach it. Temp gauge is starting to act up so it's time to have a proper look. Also the idle is weak, god knows how far out I've turned out the idle screw just to reach 1250rpm.

Tell me about the Vulcan 500, is it really that much like the LTD ? I've read about them a lot, but never talked to an owner. Does it also not like going below 4k RPM (except in 1st) ? Also how's the top end ? 7k - 9.5k RPM are like you're on a different bike.

On a side note, ALWAYS double check that the O-rings on the coolant pipes that go into the valve head are seated properly, or you'll be up for another round of wrenching and buying coolant. Just when you think all is finally done and you can take her out for a test spin it's all gonna piss out straight from the valvehead. Those are some hard wrenching lessons right there, hahahaha.

I didn't have the tools, I would have bought them if I'd known it was going to be 110. Main reason I didn't was because the quote was lower than I could buy the tools for (about 55).

Take it to consumer affairs then, you were quoted less then they would not give you your bike until you paid their new price.
thats illegal believe it or not.

Their pay is a one time thing. Those tools will more or less be divided over the amount of times you change your own tires. Surely you'll be burning through some more rubber in the future, so you may want to reconsider.

The Vulcan 500 is a pretty good bike, it has pretty impressive cornering ability for a cruiser styled motorcycle. I haven't had any issues with running at lower rpms in higher gears. You're right that the engine really wakes up when you push it into the higher RPM range. I bought it from my cousin for $500, she had let it sit unused for 6 years in her parents garage... The gas tank had started to rust a bit on the inside so I had to deal with that and the low speed circuit of the carbs was completely clogged. I cleaned them out the best I could but I never have got it to cold start or idle very good until it warms up... I'm getting ready to sell it so I'll have to get that sorted beforehand.

A bolt holding the starter clutch on the back of the alternator came loose one day while I was riding (it was supposed to have loctite on it from the factory but none of the 3 bolts did, the other 2 were completely loose as well) and ground into the starter sprocket and crankcase and dumped a bunch of steel shavings into the engine. I shut it off before it did any damage and had to completely take the engine apart and rinse all the shavings out with diesel and then rebuild it. I've put 6k miles on it since then and it's been fine. The rubber on the turn signal stalks has rotted with age so I've also got to replace the turn signals (I just ordered some cheap Chinese turn signals that looked similar off ebay, they'll be good enough to get it sold at least).

It was a great first bike and taught me A LOT about working on bikes what with the engine rebuild and all, I just don't really ride it anymore since I got a DR650 a couple years ago.

Is the dr650 a fun bike?

Nobike looking for a fun, reliable, economical bike and cross-shopping the fz-07.

Spray it down with a degreaser like simple green, let it sit for a bit, and use a long bristled brush to scrub and break the oil up. Rinse it off and repeat until it's mostly clean.

>>15474984
Would wd-40 work? It's a de-greaser, right?

>>15474962
Get a 1200. HD are seriously underpowered for their displacement.

a trials bike or a trail bike?

>>15474898
Holy shit man, they charged you $110 just to mount and balance a tire on a wheel that you brought in yourself?

Local dealer around here charges $75 for tire change if you just bring the bike in, $25 if you bring the wheel in.

>>15474981
id say go for klr650
its got some wind protection

>>15475004
>>15475004
moto trials, if im doing trials its all trials. any jerk can ride fast, lets see who can go slow.

>>15475005
Yeah, that's why I filled up their shop with smoke and called them scam artists.

>>15474988
No, WD40 will just make a mess, just go buy a big jug of simple green or greased lightning, or something similar + a spray bottle in the cleaning section of Home Depot. Mix it 50/50 with water and spray the bike down.

You cunts all get jewed good.

I can buy tyres separately and take them in or buy them at the shop and it only has every cost me about an extra 30 dollarydoos by just taking the bike to the shop and letting them do it.

thats called cross training uleh

Its your own fault.

>>15475019
i have good luck with mineral spirits, or acetone on grease, then i clean the minor residue with dish soap

>>15474981
Sure, it's a good, fun first bike. You can find some in good condition for pretty cheap on craigslist and they're a really simple bike to maintain so it's a good bike to learn how to wrench on.

>>15475007
Eh, I went on a 3k mile trip with my DR650 with no wind screen and it was okay. Holding 75mph for hours on end on the interstate sucked at times but I tried to stay on secondary highways / roads as much as possible.

You guys excited for the new cbr250rr?

19k redline

>>15475032
Yeah, solvents would work too but you've gotta be careful to keep it off any rubber / plastic parts. ESPECIALLY the acetone, that shit eats through plastic quick.

if i was on about cross training or enduro i would have said so.
slow technical and insane is what i want to do

>>15475047
>Being excited for a Honda bike
eh, they haven't really been too competitive recently. It's probably going to cost an arm and a leg if it's actually any good.

>>15475064
nono i was saying thats what going slow is on a dirt bike.

In this day and age the only reason to get a trial bike is you want to get into endurocross to improve your trail riding.

>>15474992
Are you sure? I want something my son's r6 can keep up with.

>>15475049
thats true but to get a really good detail youve gotta pull hoses anyways

>>15475047
>excited for a 250

>>15475071
in my day and age the reason to get into trials is it looks fun as hell. but yeah i get you. though enduro is not always slow. it actually looks pretty fast most of the time. i just think showing what you can do in trials will drop more panties than showing how fast you can go

>>15475080
>implying a 250 isnt exciting

>>15475080

the new one is a parallel twin, no fucking way is it spinning to 19k like the old one.

>>15475093
Endurocross is applying trials techniques to enduro riding if you watch that cross training video >>15475025 it explains it pretty thoroughly.

Anywho watch vid related, being good on an trials bike will get you a girlfriend who likes trials bikes.

Speed triple. Torque to start in any gear.

>>15474976
Mmm, sounds like they're very similar indeed. Mine was 350 euro's with roughly the same story, plus the guy fucked up the exhausts and used water without anti anti-freeze, clogging up all of the cooling system.

Crazy about those bolts just coming off and actually causing something that serious, that's damn unlucky, but what's crazier is that DR650. That's a funny coincidence, my stepdad bought a DR800 a while ago, was in pretty bad shape. The cilinder head had to be taken off after the cam chain tensioner gave out during the last owner's ride. Really did a number on the engine. I've been riding for exactly a year when I took it out last week after it's 'done' (it's smoking from the engine, most likely burning oil). Got my length working out for me but that thing was something else alright. When you get it going it's really comfortable and doesn't lack in power. It'll probably be up for sale in a while but after the LTD I will certainly be looking for something like a dual sport (KLR, Africa twin, transalp?) after trying it out, just to stay on that sweet spot between sporty and comfortable. The LTD is not very cruiser-like that way, wouldn't see myself on a litre v-twin as a next ride.

Anyway enjoy both the bikes, they're a ton of fun. Safe miles

>>15475114
what tyre is that?

Q3 and yes but the road was damp in the shadows and they had only been on the bike a day so I didn't go too hardcore.

Don't really have anything much to report about them, they're incredibly, incredibly neutral. My old S20 evos had an insane turn in, they barely wanted to go straight, these feel really really stable in comparison. Just...neutral I guess.

I'm gonna go back when all the good tighter corners are dry and I'll get a better impression of what the grip is like further over.

yeah, but its not pure, its a bastardisation of trials, motorcross, and trail riding

>>15475181
my pp3's are like the evos then in a straight line i guess, trying to keep the bike sitting upright on straights just doesn't work you have to weave back and forth in the lane for it to be stable

>>15474871
i woudldnt try it

>>15474871
It shrinks it if its not pre shrunk leather which it rarely is unless its really expensive.

hang on i'll make a new one
