Let me know what it turns out to be.
I'm torn between a new bike or a shitbox.

>>16000009
8-9 and saturday, maybe I can make it there the 11 too.

Wait, is EICMA at the same time as Lucca Comics?
Would be cool to go to Lucca by bike but even if I had a bike by then I'm not sure I'd be free for the weekend.
>>16000048
Sure.

Going to be driving through a city centre with 1 way roads and I am fucking terrified of going into the wrong lane, taking a wrong turn and going down the wrong direction on a 1 way street and getting completely lost.

This is the first time i will ever have gone inside a city centre.

I am so scared but I don't know why.

>>16000056
>Wait, is EICMA at the same time as Lucca Comics?
Apparently no, but I'm not a fucking nerd so I can't be sure.
Lucca comics is last week of october, eicma second week of november.

>>16000074
Oh, I see.
You aren't a bike nerd?

>>16000056
Lucca is 28/10 to 1/11
Eicma site gives me 10/11 to 13/11
I'd be down for it

Besides, I have no reason at all to go apart from ipotetically seeing the hosts. My manga collection is complete and I can get everything I want from the internet.

Mfw I miss a volume or two (or five) from all my series,
I'm thinking about getting rid of all of them and pretend I was never a dweeb.

Hey /dbt/ I just checked out and test rode my first bike (Suzuki DR650) off craigslist. Looked great and felt amazing

Is it a bad idea to just buy this without looking at any other DR 650s for sale in my city? The other ones all explicitly mentioned problems with the bikes in their ads, this one doesn't seem to have any

if it works good and its a good price just get it.
they tend to go really fast around here so if you go think on it, you might miss it.
and if the price is good you can always resell and get your money back

>>16000421
The price is $2300 (1997 DR650), a friend of mine advised me to offer $2000 for it

>>16000356

Scooter was my first motorized 2 wheeled anything. I wanted to stick with scooters and eventually get a Burgman. Ended up selling the PCX last October in exchange for a motorcycle. So I kinda do have a motorcycle now.

>>16000453

I was always told to never ever except their first offer. Always try and barter with them for a lower price. Like a few hundred dollars lower. And never lowball them and offer half price. That's why most ads say 'No lowballers!!' cause they're always stupidly unreasonably low offers to where the seller doesn't make barely anything back.

I guess a lot of these ABS modules are gonna get binned.

>>16000671
at least ABS is easy to bypass on bikes.
remove the sensing ring, the sensor, the fuse or just create an artificial fault

>>16000621
You're probably biting off more than you can handle

>>16000671
none of these bikes are affordable or good value for money anyway, who gives a shit, you could probably buy a fucking panigale for the same money as a new r6

>>16000674
or just run new brake lines straight to the calipers and throw the rest in the bin which is what's gonna happen here.

I've already done the 3x3 mod and the rest of those don't really address my main concerns. Yeah I could drop a few pounds with a lithium battery but it isn't really worth the price to me. There's not much I can do about the transmission except a wider gear ratio swap but that costs like $600 and would require splitting the cases so it will never happen. I'm just going to live with the bike the way it is.

I wish I could combine all the nice attributes of my EXC and my DRZ together and get the perfect dual sport. It would probably just be like the EXC with a linkage shock and larger oil capacity plus magically being less maintenance intensive all around.

Anyone have ideas for temporarily plugging a float bowl drain?

The head of my drain screw was stripped so I couldn't tighten it much, on my way home it fell out.
I'm not going to risk stripping the threads with some random screw and I don't want to jam anything down there I can't get back out. I stuck a golf tee inside because the tapered tip could seal the hole but there's nothing to keep it from falling out.

BTW this is just temporary so I can ride down to a shop to pick up a new fuckin $4 screw.

Need a decent beginner sport-touring or naked bike that is really easy to work on bc want to learn mechanics/mods etc, needs to be able to cope with commuting and frequent highway travel but also decent torque because acceleration feelsgood

Should I go for a 250cc Ninja or something more beefy? Needs to be under 660cc due to downunder beginner laws

the LAMS 650s are not exactly fast by bike standards but they're not really slow either, the one area where that'll probably make the biggest difference is they will be more of a handful to ride at low speed, particularly they will be more difficult to do stuff like the MOST test on compared to little babby bikes.

With this being said, I did the MOST test perfectly on my 650 with clip ons (no lost marks). It just means you have to practice and can't just wing it like you can if you show up on a dr-z400 or borrow a CB125E.

Aside from that, once you're rolling at speed, a bike's a bike, you'll definitely have to be trying bloody hard to highside and lose traction on a 650 with modern tyres so don't worry about that. Yeah they'll go about 220 km/hr but you don't have to go that fast if you don't want to.

I've never seen my bike mentioned here. Fz6r. Why? It's been my first bike and use it for communting everyday. I find it fun.

how long do you guys let your bikes warm up before jumping on and riding? when i had the 848 i was paranoid of doing literally anything wrong to the engine so i would wait -- probably too long -- until the temp gauge stopped saying "LO" and actually read a temperature. with my last bike it had three idle speeds and i'd just wait until it cycled down to the lowest one and then take off.

i'm probably paranoid and over careful though. what's your startup procedure, /dbt/?

Cheers, man, this is what I was most worried about. Knowing that the test can still be done on a 600 and that I won't immediately die as long as I'm aware of my limitations is what I needed to hear.

I hear a lot of shit about not properly mastering cornering/etc. when you ride a 600 as opposed to a 250. Can I still learn proper habits on a 600 and not be a squid?

my SV took me from pottering around and doing my MOST test to scraping knee and doing my first track day, I don't see why a 650 couldn't for you as well (although I'd ridden dirt bikes a bit as a kid (was never any good mind you) the SV650 was my first road bike)

650s are not 600s, very different temperament and focus.

>i'm aware of my limitations

Well, you won't be. Everyone gets overconfident at some point, I'm not of the opinion you'll be in especially more danger on a 650 than a 300 when that happens though.

End of the day, properly mastering technique is gonna be more down to you than the bike you ride. I'm sure if I started on a 1000 I still would have never become a straight line hero because it's not where my interest lied in riding, ever since I was 5 I wanted to get my knee down, I think I would have gone that route no matter what.

that argument doesn't necessarily apply to motorcycles, where it's important to have at least a breakpoint of power where you have enough in reserve to get out of sticky situations.

liter peters just seem so excessive. fast bikes are designed to go fast; i lived with an 848 and even just that bike felt like it was going for a stroll at any legal speed. it's like it's taunting you to go fast.

Of course it's worth it. Even If you never use full power you have something else for it, longevity. It's more city-friendly than a 600 due to torque at low revs.

It's overall a nice experience. No one that rides a big cc sporttourer or touring bike uses the full potential often. It's more chill to "idle" along at 60 with a big bike than to have to revv it up on a small bike to get going.
And it's a nice feeling to know that you have more power than you will ever need.

No, but after using 2 cans of plastidip and a plasticlear on my Miata hardtop, wraps sound like a good idea.

Are you talking about vinyl wrap?

yeah carbon fiber vinyl wrap seems to be nice quality. he hasn't sent me full pics of his bike or id show them. but i hear some people spray clear coat over it to give it a more authentic look. i mean I'm curious to experiment but was wondering if anyone here had more experience.

>>16002240
I was talking about the beetle in the quoted post anon. 50 hp in a 300lb dirt bike and 50 hp in a 2000 lb car are two very different things

>>16002253
Ive seen it done very poorly. I heard you need primer and a lot of technique to pull it off.

Buy a cheap heat gun if you're wrapping curves, and take a youtube wet application tutorial. There's no replacement for real carbon, but the 3m stuff is great for ogio patch ups/badging/hiding scuffs.

1. take off pieces you want to wrap
2. heat wrap up really good (heat gun)
3. shit gets flexible/elastic so its easy to apply. only curves are a pain in the ass.
4. constantly smooth it out while applying, I just used an ice scraper
5. wear gloves so you can constantly heat and not burn your finger offs

best to be done with a friend. He heats up and you can concentrate on wrapping.
Didn't use clear coat but that sounds neat

>>16002414
that honestly looks pretty bad. Did you keep the original cluster but try to streetfighter it?

that's in the middle of putting a new exhaust on. I chose that pic because on most pics you don't really see the carbon wrap. Just looks matte black.

i watched their announcement video and 7 of their things were just looks based. looked like just a cosmetic facelift, but sounds like they added a few nice rider aids. no mention of performance, other than the akra exhaust. but it meets euro 4 so i dont count on any hp due to it.

I do dank leans on the street all the time and it's a brilliant idea

in fact, it's so brilliant that the other option is holding up traffic by going half the speed of the cars

bikes lean by cornering. cars do not. cars just engage traction control.

>>16002582
Then why would acerbis be ackrebis?
use your noodle m8

I pronounce stuff how I want as I am an ignorant American.

I don't normally follow new launches that closely, since Intermot was a few weeks ago and there were a shitload of new launches, what are they going to announce at EICMA? Do manufacturers kinda save models to be announced there?

>>16002685
