Went for a blat this weekend. Can only just walk normally now after so many squats.

Can I learn good enough habits on a (manual) scooter after a year's riding that I can justify buying a not-so beginner bike (BMW G650GS - I feel like it's too flashy to be a beginner) now? Or should I go and get Ninja 250 and double check I'm not retarded before spending too much money?

Knock on their door and interrupt every few minutes to update them on your bowel moments, even if you haven't shat and it's purely speculation

>>16025399

See, this is what I think bc I think I'll still be learning on the 650, so whynot.png

But I'm always worried about dropping it bc I want to ride like a hooligan after a year of shitty vespa-ing

>>16025386
G650GS is sort of considered a beginner bike... that big single is pretty tame. Only caution i would give is that you should make sure the bike isn't too tall to be comfortable for you. If you want a less expensive alternative look into a KLR650

>>16025408
i'd rather just take a big, fat, watery shit right in front of their door then knock and run.

>>16025416
I hear good things about Vespas actually.
I look at it this way, if you drop it you drop it. It's whatever. At the end of the day it's just a bike. Just don't think about it.

>>16025416
Could always get a used ninja or sv650 for a bit cheaper and save the bm for later and get an even better one

>>16025416
>I want to ride like a hooligan after a year of shitty vespa-ing
Pfffhahahaha.
Nigger I've been riding scooters for years and just started riding a bike. You'll never be able to do that. You need bike experience to do that.

Riding the scooter only helps with getting handy with the controls and getting road experience.

>>16025423
>>16025425

I've sat on the bike and feel super comfy, actually, bc long inseam
Fuck it I'm doing this, hold my beer m8s

Do y'all reckon I can still learn to lean hard on a sort-of top-heavy bike?

Also the Vespa has actually been super fun, plus 200cc of fury kind of makes me view anything as a performance beast, even a 650 single

>>16025432

Hooligan for me just means being able to pop a wheelie without fear of scraping my bodywork and maybe some light offroad and tiny jumps

I'm too much of a pussy to really be doing anything else that's insane

>>16025444
Trips confirm bmw incoming my dude! Awww yea.
I reckon you can accomplish anything your bike living heart desires man.
YOU CAN DO IT

>>16025444
you aren't going to get supersport type leans on a tall adv bike like that, you'll run out of tire before you get knee down. it acts more like a dirtbike. If you are looking for more on road capability you want to find a more sport focused bike.

put some sticky tyres on it's good to go.

won't run out of tyre but you will probably run out of clearance and the suspension will be a little soft.

>>16025499
Riding in the rain ain't so bad. Only sucks when it's a torrential downpour and can't see fuck all in front of you. That and other people not paying attention trying to kill you, but that happens on nice days as well lol

>>16025507
this. any modern bike with modern radial tires will lean until it levers itself off the ground. for some bikes that happens sooner than others, especially if you're riding a big gay cruiser built for fags, but the fact remains.

I think the Vstrom is an exception. Engine straight out of a stone cold killer.

I was gonna ride there during my vacation next week, my friend told me too many idiots go there.

how can i fix a broken tab which i screw the side fairing into?

on the right hand side, there's 3 screws at the top of the side fairing. the middle one, the tab you screw into snapped off.

can i just super glue it in place? i was just thinking of putting a nut on the inside of the fairing as the fairing sits fine without it but looks weird without the screw

>making insurance claims on motorcycles

Cosmetic damage can total them because the repairs must make the bike good as new. If it came with fairings, it gets fairings. OEM replacements only. Insurance does not do streetfighter rice.

But you do

so don't make claims if you're not ready to have a totaled bike

>tfw almost got hit head on today

and it was completely my fault. Never learned how to drive a car and picked up motorcycling 2 weeks ago. Holy shit that's scary. All because I didnt understand how intersections work and went to make a left turn following some other cars turning left after a red.

At least I hit the furthest lean I've ever hit trying to recover from that and make it out of the intersection before people got angry at me

So I accelerated hard on a tar snake tonight, and one of the rider aids kicked in when the handle bars was flaying side to side keeping it tracking straight.

Was this stability control or traction control?
I can't work out what all these electronics do specifically.

>>16025872
go slow on your first sessions, most crashes happen near the start of the day because people are too keen, just wait and work your way up to speed.

ask somebody experienced about lines if there's any corners you're struggling with, lines are more important than lean angle.

Try and make a braking marker for each bend, braking at the track intensity will be the hardest thing for you to to come to grips with.

bring a folding camping chair.

if your rear wheel spun up then the TCS should limit the engine power. And I didn't know motorcycles had ESC. I guess it could hit the rear brake a bit if you were close to tucking the front end but wouldn't that weight shift you more to the front? I don't know how ESC would work on a bike.

Newer bimmers have ASC (Automatic Stability Control), not sure what it exactly entails, but it probably integrates with the ABS?

I have done some research into this insanity because i've never fucking heard of a bike with anything like a "stability control" outside of the slide control on the R1s and I have come back with this nugget of knowledge.

ASC or Automatic Stability Control Is just traction control.

See BMW have two trim levels of traction control, they have ASC which is just the normal road going one, then DTC which is the track one that gains some extra features like slick mode, up/down quickshifter etc.

But they're both just traction control.

bullshit, I've worked on all 3 of them. If you can work on one of them you can work on all three. It doesn't get more basic than the 500s

if he can find a restricted one sure he can go for it, otherwise not worth it you're getting the same deal. instead of wasting 100 bucks on the restrictor he can get new springs, far better investment.

>>16026203
What I mean is, on the CB it's easier to get to shit. For one, the fuel petcock isn't under the tank pointing inwards like on the GS which is just plain stupid.

I'm the Italianfag who's about to buy the SV with 5k km.

The guy sent me some other pics of the chain after I went checking the bike, what other pics can I ask him for people to be able to give me some advice?

I know, I know, it's not the same as bringing an expert to check the bike out but it's still something.

>>16026212
The chain can always be replaced, the thing i'd worry about is the fact that the oil was low in the first serie of pics while the owner said it was just replaced.

>>16026212
can't tell anything about a chain just looking at it, you need to check for dead spots.

I'm sure it'll be fine though, Just get some kerosene and clean it + lube it again when you buy the bike and that'll clean up good imo.

>>16026232
you said petcock, this is a petcock by definition. And I use the very same to not let spill gas out. Set to off, remove tubes if you want voila. What the fuck are you on about this isn't complicated at all

stop being annoying

>>16026163
I'm from Slovenia, i don't really have a budget per se, but it would be nice if I could get a decent bike for cheap. I already looked at prices of used GS500Fs, and they seem to be in the 2000-2500€ range, which isn't too much for me

>>16026241
Bullshit. The GS has a fuel tap accessible from the outside, which only has "open", "prime" and "reserve" positions. If you don't want gas to spill out you have to unscrew the tank, lift it a little, get a screwdriver in under the tank from the right and turn the petcock screw which is under the tank above the tap (left side) and points to the right.
On the CB you only have the one petcock with open, closed and reserve positions.

t. owned both and worked on them
Though maybe the newer GSs changed that. I had a 1997 model.

>>16026216
As the guy said the bike was on the kickstand, leaned on the side, of course you couldn't see the oil.
>>16026223
Apart from the chain, what other picture could I ask him for?

>>16026252
>t. owned both and worked on them
And crashed into a truck on one of them

>buy a bike
>1980 KLX 250
>supposed to have 5 gears

Any ideas?

>>16026244
I'm >>16026212, I can get the SV650 for that much, might want to search for a second generation one, it has EFI, unlike the GS500. What part of Slovenia are you from? If you're near the border we could meet someday.

>>16026212
Why are you concerned about the chain? Chains are fairly cheap. You should be worrying about the engine, suspension, petrol tank etc

>>16026274
Ask him for a video of a cold start and revving after the bike has idled for 5 mins.

Engine shouldn't rattle, should start up easily.
On revving there should be a rapid throttle response without backfiring.

>>16026270
Did you test ride it before buying?

>>16026278
I knew it was fucked, I bought it cheap

Fug, I haven't even thought about it, what could the problem be, rust inside?

I went to check the bike, he started it cold and it stayed on without problems. I revved after some time and recorded all but the recording is shit, I don't know why.

The SV650 seems like a cool bike, but I'd have to find one that already has a restriction (which I didn't after browsing around), otherwise there's no point.

>>16026285
He didn't want me to because no insurance. He rode it. Seemed fine except I couldn't hear the higher gears because he was too far at that point.
>>16026290
You can bet I will.

I asked my uncle and he said to go for it. I'm inclined to. I'll give the guy a response tomorrow, I think.

>>16026297
It sounds like the bike is alright, next time ask to get a ride on the back of the bike. It should be fine dude. Just make sure it is easy and cheap to find parts for the bike before buying it.

>>16026296
Can't you get one and restrict it? Bring it to a mechanic near the seller's place.

The motor is more tuned for mid-range torque so you don't have to rev the piss out of it like an R6, it's quite nice in cities and actually has more torque than an SV650 according to the internet.

None. The bike looks good all around so far so there's no signs you should have to worry. There's not much else we can do other than deconstruct the whole bike and look at every part.

Can someone tell me more things about the FZ6 Fazer please?

>>16026823
The petcock and fuel tap were directly connected iirc, screwed into each other like.
English isn't my first language, maybe you should say valve instead of petcock. I'm not 100% clear on the difference between those words.

>>16026856
/dbt/ = Deutscher Bike Thread

>>16026842
The petcock is the entire unit that controls fuel flow from your tank. It is opened up by a vacuum while the engine is running so it automatically turns off whenever it is not running. So you can just leave it to ON when you take the tank off and it will not pour out fuel.

That's why it has a PRIME setting, which allows fuel to flow without the vacuum.

I see. In any case, the GS has a fuel valve seperate from the pri/open/res selector which has to be accessed from underneath the tank. The CB doesn't. It's way more comfortable. Generally, working on the CB is less fiddly.

The fz6r i rode felt like a good 60 or 70 at most. Fine for a commuter but i do more than that.

Through the same principal that makes it easier to unscrew a stuck bolt with a longer wrench.

I am over the moon happy with my k1300r. It may not suit your eyes/local bike market, but give it a glance

>>16027060
you can flick it around easily once you get going, actually better handling than the naked liters you would be surprised. Raise the handlebars and you got yourself a big torquey tourer that's fast and handles well

have you ridden one?

I mean don't get me wrong, I haven't either.

But it seems like everyone has an opinion on this fucking bike, even people who haven't ridden it.

Where does that comes from?

Everyone swears they don't turn, but I see evidence all the time they do.

You ride when rain?

What's with these bikes that attract total retards

>>16027074
They are one of the best bikes around
Yes i have ridden one, but in full touring spec and certainly not hard

It seemed quite hefty, but o can't deny it's fairly comfy

The guy i borrowed it off has slapped on every little electronic thingy he could find

>>16027084
yeah because I commute via motorcycle.

I don't like it very much, wouldn't do it if I didn't have to.

>>16027084
only when I get caught in it

honestly it's so funny hearing all these busa memes from americans because here they're literally owned by nice old 40+ year old white guys who just wanted something a bit softer than your average literbike.

>>16027088
>What's with these bikes that attract total retards
Honestly? Their financing options. $0 down attracts lots of people that have no reason to ride a motorcycle.

>>16027090
Its that bad even with raincloat clothes?

It's not bad I just don't like it that much, you can't see as well, you can't go as fast, don't have as much grip, everyone drives crazier in the rain for no apparent reason and all your leather needs to be dried out when you get home.

Riding in the rain is not a very difficult task, just go easy on the inputs, if you have tyres that are made to be good in the rain like Pilot roads, or angel GTs or even S20/S21Rs you will be laughing in terms of the technique part of it, it's dead simple won't be a problem. Some people are all macho about riding in the rain and I don't understand it, it's really easy it's just not very fun unless you're popping the clutch every intersection to get it spinning up a bit.

Tires on the KLX wore out but the broken down EXC has good tires of the same size. I was almost willing to try to just get the parts to make the EXC hubs fit the KLX but that would cost money I don't want to spend. Instead I'm going to have to change an extra set of tires (which I hate doing) to get the good ones on the KLX.

>>16027124
I prefer older bikes because they don't have a lot of electrical bullshit and "riding aids" in them, and they are far easier to repair and tune

let me guess, you suck at riding but for some reason think you're above rider aids.

I mean you can do this right? you'd have no need for something like slide control or IMU assisted TCS right?

There's a special feeling that comes only from riding a shitbike. I can beat it to hell and back and giggle the whole way while the fags on their pristine supersports just ride through city traffic yelling about the cagers making minor traffic infractions.

>>16027152
what does racing have to do with anything here? that bike is definitely not 4000€

>>16027142
new bikes are easy to repair and tune because they literally don't need it at all

>>16027074
because simple peoples logic heavier = harder to turn. Same people that don't know what a steering damper is.

I can't because you can't ride literbikes in the rain without toning down the power

Well I mean, everyone just thinks they're better than the computers for some reason but I've seen /dbt/, you all suck at riding, you definitely aren't better than the traction control on modern bikes so why do you all act above it?

like you're simply too good for such pleb tools that are used by people infinitely more skilled than you?

Where does this ego come from?
