Interesting graph.
What's the difference between A and B, noob and pro?

Reposting.

>>16031526
basically yeah, trailbraking to the apex is faster, it's what pros do, on the graph it's illustrating that you can brake later and be accelerating for longer on the straights if you do it.

It comes with increased risk though.

Noob again. Are there decent resources for picking up Motorkhana/Gymkhana/Whateverthefuckkhana somewhere?

This shit of riding the bike with crazy precision and knowing how every little thing impacts is really interesting, and it seems like the best way to learn more would be to do khana shit or stunt riding.

no idea, I've been looking but it's hard to find. The best resources I've found are forum posts and this french channel that has subtitles on the videos. (i'll try and find it)

Moonrune land has a lot of instructionals but they're untranslated.

>>16031539
The best way to learn is to fit a crash cage to a bike and just practice.

>>16031533
I'll probably even start accelerating some time after the apex.
To know where the apex is you have to know the road, or at least be able to see the end of the turn from the start, gotta be careful on new roads with low experience.

>>16031553
as I said last thread, I don't think you should make trailbraking on the road a habit but you probably need to know how to do it in case of emergency.

>>16031539
A lot of places will teach police motorcycle courses to the public which is a good first step I would imagine

Is there such a thing as moto gymkhana on bicycles?

>>16031573
depends on the speed, I guess the idea is he wants you to counterlean and lean your bike instead of the body if it's a really low speed one.

Or maybe he's just emphasizing gripping the tank with your legs and taking pressure off your arms which makes the steering input easier and more fluid.

>>16031560
>in case of emergency
Like what?

>>16031584
in case you overcook the entry to a corner that you shouldn't have and will be more comfortable holding the front brake on longer to make the corner at a safe speed.

Trailbraking is very freaky if you've never done it before.

Yeah but either way he doesn't explain shit. Motherfucking useless Italian scuole guida. No one is gonna teach you how to ride a bike here, all that while taking good money from you.

It's at very slow speed, I'm a beginner, the figure is very small and I do it clutch only. I always grip the tank with my legs, except with the internal knee when I turn and I haven't seen myself but I'm pretty sure I counterlean already, otherwise I wouldn't be able to do the figure eight.
It's just that that way I would have no problem at all at the exam, with the knee on the tank I still take the feet off the pad sometimes.

>>16031584
Coming up to a corner too fast that is much tighter than you anticipated, if you are practiced and confident in trail braking you might be able to hold the brakes a bit later to trim off that little bit of speed that could mean the difference between making it through and running wide.
It's all in the lever modulation..
Too little and you won't brake enough.
Too much and you are sliding the front
Don't back off early enough or power on too soon in heavy trail braking? You're going to slide the rear and likely highside
It's something best learned on the track with someone that can follow and watch you ride.

Wouldn't you just brake, raising the bike, and correct your angle countersteering in that situation?
You should already be slow enough to be able to do that.

my experience with these instructors is usually do whatever will make them happy, get it done and get out.

I've had to do the pre-learners in two different states and have had one right arsehole both times. Just do what they want, get your license, then get practicing and inform yourself.

Most of what they say is really useful, but not all of it is infallible, or as is often the case in motorcycles there are two right answers for two different intentions.

>>16031612
well you can go a hell of a lot faster on a motorcycle than you can on a bicycle, I'll say that, I'm only saying it as a last resort, obviously you want to get as much of the braking done in a straight line.

if you've done as much braking as you can and the option is now either turn in or run wide the best option would be to turn in though, and if you can turn in and keep on the brakes safely and confidently that's gotta be even better right?

That would mean that you entered the turn at a much higher speed than the required one, not just some more, as I understand it.

Seems like I'm getting the bike now so I think I'll stop doing the "lessons" and practise by myself.

>That would mean that you entered the turn at a much higher speed than the required one
yes and hence why it is a technique with its use on the track where getting that 1% over your competition could mean a win, where the pace can get so close to the limit that even motoGP riders wipe out very often.

Some people take it to the street, but it's all about getting a higher speed on the straights for longer, braking later and being faster overall. If you're riding normally you can just set your corner speed before you turn and ride through with a neutral loading on the tires, which is definitely safer but you'll always find people trying to push that limit on the road and its not like track techniques simply disappear.

By all means practice your riding and get experience but do consider looking at more advanced lessons once an instructor can assume you know at least the basics about riding - not having to focus on teaching you how to pass the test. When you feel ready find a local track and ask about their 1 on 1 training it will help you fix any bad habits you pick up in an controlled environment, there is a lot of bad technique that you can get away with while riding tame and it'd be better to see an experienced professional about that rather than find out the hard way.

That's sad to hear. I did my course with a not-for-profit, run by volunteers (but it was licensed, even gives you your license at the end of the course if you pass their test).

They had the attitude of "teach you how and why". The why was a nice addition, because it helped me understand WHY certain techniques work, which helps me to actually learn the technique in my experience.

Here and there they would very obviously hint things like "this part of the lesson? Pay a lot of attention to THAT PARTICULAR CORNER AND CONE SETUP" because that same sub-obstacle would be on the test. So they definitely wanted us to pass as well. But they seemed to have the attitude of "we want you to learn and be safe".

The ones who grasped the concepts quickly and were doing well were always told, basically, "good, but now do it a lot faster". Completely unnecessary, way faster than the test required, but it was to prove the point while we were under supervision that "yes, you can go this hard without dying, so don't be afraid in emergencies when you have to push a bit".

WHY CAN'T I TAKE A SINGLE QUALITY PHOTO WITH THIS CAMERA

I can't decide between a brand new yamaha mt-03 or a near new (2014, previous model) honda cb500.

i'm new to riding and will be riding in the city, on highways and on fun twisty roads.

is anybody able to provide some insight?

>>16031956
Cb500. Or even better, either an SV650, VTR250 or CBR250

Ihre salzigen Wurst schmeckt das beste auf der Rückseite meiner Kehle

>>16031956
What's your homeground? If tight and twisty mt03. If more long and straight cb500

>>16031957
whats your reasoning? i like the idea that it has more torque, doesnt need to be revved as much to make power, might have better build quality, but for the same price as a brand new bike it's a toss up.

LAMS sv650s are harder to find and more expensive than the other two options.

had never considered the other two, i thought looking for bigger capacity would be the way to go?
just checked and vtr250s are nearly the same price and cb250's can be had a bit cheaper. though i was looking for something a bit more upright.

>>16031963
my homeground is:

living in the city. will be riding to work which is half hour drive through multi lane heavy traffic that varies between stand still and 80km/h

riding on the highway to visit family and girlfriend 160km away

going for spirited weekend rides around coastal and bush windy roads

okay, and a follow up question.
would you buy second hand two years old, previous model in decent condition for between 5,500 - 6,500

or

brand new bike, latest model, warranty for 8,700 ride away.
with potential to do some aggressive bargaining / cross shopping on that price.
?

also to throw a wild card in the mix i had also been looking at the yamaha wr250r so that i could do a little bit of camping/adventuring off road but im not sure if its too much of tradeoff for on road riding which is the majority of what i will be doing.

yes majority road, will just try borrow a mates klr for the odd camp then.

i think buying new sounds like the best idea. over the life of the bike the increased costs and depreciation would work out to be about $5 a week extra. but boy am i worried i will drop it doing something stupid on day 1.

I have become that cunt.
Since buying a shaftdrive, I have focussed on pointing out my mate's loose and dirty chains. Sometimes I'll even look at their chains first before dispensing my sagely advice, but usually I just assume and dish shit out. And it works 100%, they could have tightened it that morning but will still double check it.

Shaft drive is impractical for everything apart from cruisers and even then there are better options. To counteract the drawbacks you have to put on more weight, complexity and expenses.

Some of us look to adding additional weight to our motorcycles so as to give shit-eating slow shit-cunts a sporting chance. It is either shaftdrive, or keep my gixxer and ride the tooooj one-handed as a handicap.

Hmm. Maybe I just need faster mates who aren't shit-eating slow shit-cunts. But the maintenance needs of the shafties match my laziness so well.

If you just have a shitbike [CX500 or somesuch] that you don't want to fuck with and don't care about losing 15-20% of your power to the drivetrain, or a tourer where doing massive miles with no maintenance is key, shaft drive makes sense.

Otherwise it takes no time at all to check a chain, and doesn't cost several grand to fix when something fails [assuming you have a case saver]

What do /dbt/?

>>16032873
punch him in the face. The plastic knuckles will surely leave a mark.

>>16032873
is that in britain?

>>16032879

Yes.

motorcycle not starting, when I turn the key there is no ignition, no lights.

Whats wrong with it?

>>16032884
battery empty

>>16032884
Busted ignition

Battery completely dead

Battery ground completely dead

Check the battery and the stuff connected to it first, then ignition fuse, then ignition itself

nette Tittchen ;-)

>>16032878
then you get nigger stomped by his 6 paki butt buddies, definitely dropping your bike and probably getting injured as well. this was the right decision

>>16032888
>>16032891
yeah called dealer he said its probably battery flat.

Am I supposed to charge it every week or something?

Reminded me of my first big bike

>Bought it to some shady af kids from the projet nearby
> "Nah mate, never fell, etc,etc"
>Obviously fell at least once, ripped carter and tip of the handlebar ripped off.
>Fuckiti'lltakeit.png
>Negociate it about 800€ lower than the regular price, payed an advance of about 70℅ in cash, signed a deed to pay the rest when i'll sell my old 125
>Find it's gonna cost to fix the crash, some costy parts, negociate a price according to the remaining 30% of the same price with a mechanic
>Call the kid back, flip him off his head, he gets spooked, debt is written off when i show him the mechanic bill.
>Everything went better than expected

Had some pretty rough nights thank to that but oh well, was worth it.

Uppercut in the jaw when he's sticking out his dumb tounge

>>16032873
Ride away.

>>16032900
nah nigga, the alternator does that for you. but if the battery keeps on draining, there's two possibilities

1. the battery is broken and you need to replace it
2. somewhere in your wiring is a "kriechstrom" (no idea what that is in english) that keeps draining your battery, and that is very hard to fix

>>16032898
>paki's are faster than a motorcycle
lol maybe ur cuck bike

>>16032900
No, just ride it at least every couple days if you dont wanna pushstart it every two weeks.
Or buy a charger, that's also an option, about 20-30eurobucks

>>16032900
Nah, a normal, healthy battery should be able to sit for months on months and still be able to start the engine properly

How old is the battery? Might be you have a leech

>>16032912
well its a 2010 yamaha ybr 125, so I guess it is around 6 years old. Has 23,000 miles on it.

If its just a dinky battery how long will it take for the dealer to fix it? I was planning a nice long ride on Saturday holy fuck I'm mad.

>>16032912
Not that guy but the anti theft electronics drain my battery in 2 weeks on my bike if I don't ride it

>>16032916
batteries are as easy to replace as wiping your arse, do you know literally nothing about motorbikes?

>>16032923
I've only had it for 5 weeks.

>>16032809
The spring retention thingy

>>16032923
Not on Japanese bikes. I had to lift the tank to replace the battery on mine.

>>16032928
so you had to screw out two screws? my god, you poor child

>>16032926
just google "change battery on ybr125" like jeez

>>16032926
You don't need a battery to run, just to start
Learn how to kick/bumpstart and avoid dumping money on your shitbike

>>16032836
I know. I keep telling myself not to buy it if it has any mechanical problems because there will surely be more, but I guess my impatience got to me.

>>16032270
There's a Mexican bike called the Yakuza. It's a rebadged chink bike

>>16032930
theres no kickstart on it, and nobody was around to help me bumpstart it.

>>16032941
>bumpstart
>needing help
>on a fucking 125

bruh just never look at a bike again

>>16032929
There's more than that to lift a tank

>>16032941

Unless you have a V you usually can just put it in 2nd and drop clutch
