First for ZX-6R

How difficult is it to replace the steering stem bearings and wheel bearings? I have watched several YouTube tutorials and it looks pretty simple but by that same token I am one of those people that genetically lack the aptitude for working with their hands....aka one of those people where if it can go wrong, it will

reasking from last thread - has anyone ever just ridden their bike to a track day? normally you see guys hauling their shit in a trailer or the back of a pickup but i'm a nocar.

what's the point of paying for insurance if the deductible is higher than the price of the repair itself

Because you might run your dumb arse into a ferrari when you target fixate on it.

then you will be happy about insurance.

>>16127614
if things are crusted in place its fairly easy, get a service manual so you set the stem properly.
best bet is to have a buddy who is more inclined come over and help

why do sumo riders not go knee down like on supersports?

>>16127773
Because less manly

>>16127773
The bikes are really tall so you have to go a bit faster to actually get your knee down. Also that kind of bike likes a lot of weight up front so it tends to work better to sit on the very front of the seat and stick your leg out by the axle.

>>16127773
Depends on the corner, slow/tight, push the bike under you and get that foot out front to keep weight on the front tire. Faster, larger radius turns, hang off/knee out.

Dirt tires on a sportbike would make in handle better than a dirt bike

You could have just save the file when I posted it here originally instead of screenshotting it from facebook on your phane...

what are the advantages to a Sumo vs. a Supersport? Is it down to light and nimbler vs. high power?

>>16127892
you're the resident trackfag, right? how viable is it to just ride your bike to the track and do the prep there rather than hauling it in a truck or trailer?

>it's a /dbt/ bench racing episode
stop it cunts

>>16127902
Completely fine if you are not riding the track at anything over 100% or have a way to get a wrecked bike home after the wreck.
There has to be another trackfag in here somewhere though... We all ride bikes so someone has to be stupid enough to do that too...

Dear /dbt/, I wrote you but you still ain't calling

I sent my home, my cell and my agent at the bottom

I sent two webm's back in august, you must not a got em

I could be the best tooj king alongside that rusted car guy or somethin

I stayed up three nights straight just to study the curves

But anyways, screw it, I'll probably just apex another

My oldest son just turned 14, I'm a proud father

If I ever have a daughter guess what I'ma call her?

I'ma name her YBRgirl

I read about SEF too, I'm sorry to hear it

I almost killed myself after my wife just fucked my shit

I know you probably hear this everyday but i'd love to work with you again I even loved your early stuff like how to counter steer and what is trailbraking

I got a room full of pictures and posters from back then

I loved working on the yammy and I'd like to work with you again

Anyways, I hope you get this, let me hear back

Just to talk money, yours faithfully, with hope

This is WRanon

>>16127902
He isn't the resident anything. Trolly is the resident trackfag.

Also lots of people do that.

>>16127897
The sumo gives you the illusion of being able to go off road when in reality you have reduced the bikes off road capabilities to that of a sports bike while having none of the sport bike top speed or precision in corners while riding on the road.

Its like having the worst of both worlds.

I was sure there had to be more than a few track riders that post here.

I have no other transportation so I was forced to call out of work and I'm going to have to get my bike towed to the dealership and buy a new tire

if you do a proper drag start (revving it up let the clutch pop) no chance a sumo will win. If you do that with a sumo in first you will just loop it. the low down power doesn't make up for 70-100hp.

but stay delusional.

Yeah you took my post content, sportbikes are designed to accelerate well, long and low. Motards are high and short you just cannot accelerate at the same pace as a sportbike power or no power.

>>16128021
Had to search my friends list to find out I do know someone named Anna. Guess I am a stalker for making sure a friend was okay.

>>16127902
It's a fine way to start, as long as you have better than average self control and won't be shit up a creek with no support system if you do crash. I look at trackdays for street riders like go karting or going to the drag strip. If you're a casual it's fine to show up and enjoy it, just don't be one of the many people who ride out of control and crash. I've met advanced group riders who ride their bikes in, but usually someone brings their other gear, coolers, etc for them. If you do it often you're going to get tired of all the extra hassles, and you'll end up with a dedicated track bike and a trailer. You gotta find out how much you like it first though. If you go, make a friend who is also going from your area so they can carry the cooler or help you get your bike home if you bust the pegs off it.

You can see in the video he's struggling with the wheelie even on dirt which is my point, more traction won't help he'll still get reamed due to wheelie

secondly moto3 (250cc) bike is still 0.5 secs faster (2 secds 0-50kmh9) and gets faster from that point on.
thirsdly a standard GSXR600 no mods does 0-50 in about 1.6 seconds, There is no stock and street legal dirt/sumo that can do that.
And if so we haven't even moved up to 750s or liters yet.

when you put the tire back on, use a large screwdriver to gently open the brake caliper so it goes back on easier

think i'm getting too risky on one of the fun corners in my commute. Light was turning amber on the right turn so came into the turn faster than usual, hung off more than usual and found some uneven road. Bike lost traction for a split second but it scared the shit out of me.

Dunno, think i should probably take it a bit easier, but easy isn't as fun. I guess this is why i don't have nice things, eventually i'm going to shrek em.

This is literally one of the easiest things to do and they do it when they put on a new tire anyway.

Put a new battery on the bike.

I ended up using the flash light from my phone as it sat in the RAM mount as a light. Turning my lights all the way off helped charge the battery and brought back the rear LED light.

I was being a complete idiot on my way home tonight and came within 2 feet of a deer going home at 85 mph. I slammed on my brakes, locked up the rear tire and skidded past and now I'm terrified to ride. What has fitted into me and why has my bike transformed my into a wreckless maniac? What can I do to calm down when riding?

You've been reading too much reddit so you think the rear brake is more important than it is in emergency braking.

Go and practice your emergency braking without the rear until you can lift the rear tyre off then add it back in.

>>16128552
when you get on the brakes harder more and more weight transfers to the front, so it makes it easier to skid the rear

>>16128552
It's because there's no weight on the rear tyre under braking, so it doesn't need much pressure to lock up it has no contact patch.

didn't ride today. the ABS system cut out on me earlier this week and i don't have full confidence in it for a spirited ride through the twisties. gonna replace the pads and bleed the brake lines and see if that helps. eventually i'm going to have to take an extended ride to see if i can get it to fail again (since it hasn't after that one isolated incident) and try to diagnose from there. bike's going in for some gasket or another -- NOT a head gasket, they reassured me -- so i'm going to have them check out the brakes as well. maybe it's a warped rotor or something

They didn't use the exact repsol colors, or a very good clearcoat, so even if they did it's impossible to tell now. The tank doesn't perfectly match the fairings and the whole paintjob is done over the original paint.

You don´t know what you are talking about.
The Simson S51 is the best 50cc ever build, it drives 33% faster than any other moped from stock, it gets above 115 mpg when you go full speed and over 200 when you don´t.
The motor is verry relieable and easy to repair and tune.
Allso the S51 has the largest aftermarket of all 50ccm.

Due to the long stroke these engines can swap to a cylinder up to 130ccm.

>>16129162
Download the factory manual for your bike, read it through then follow everything that's relevant to rebuilding the engine in order. Don't deviate from what the manual tells you.

>>16129172
You can drive 50cc at the age of 16 here and the Simsons are the fastest since they were registered in the GDR where they had a 60 km/h limit for mopeds.
The 125cc licence in the EU is shit since it costs the same as the A2 licence but doesn´t allow anything over 15hp.

Sport tourers in general. Reclining will wear on your tailbone.

Just laying down on a (aftermarket padded) tank is so much better, especially if you install a higher, cushier seat that gets you more level with it

DR650 supermoto or CBR250RR?

The CBR makes me wet and I love road riding, but supermoto (maybe a DRZ) is apparently the greatest thing known to mankind.
Problem is, I like (and have to) ride long distances (40+ mile/60km commute daily, longer rides on weekends), and a sumo seems shitty for that. CBR might be uncomfortable but I'm young and have no back problems. Help pls

>DR650 supermoto

LOL

guys Im going to put street oriented tires on this dual sport and then it will be a supermoto

>>16129323
Dr is not a supermoto
It's a pigfat dualsport
A motard is a racing dirtbike with 17's and slicks
The real 250rr is a monster of a machine, definitely better than a shitty dizzer

>>16129332
The 90s 4cyl one, that somehow revs to 19k without exploding or achieving lift-off

>>16129328
Eh, it'll be shitty but I feel like the CBR will handle it at least a little better than the DR

>>16129343


Do you really want a 30 year old bike? Imagine finding parts for that thing.

>>16129339
>>16129338

Really only went with DR sumo because any less cc than that and the sumo will suck way more ass over long distance than the CBR, even if theyre both shit

>>16129343
The MC22 is honestly the one I'd choose m8. Fucking do it.

Mad jelly. Do want.

>>16129333
It's not the position, but the engine that makes them shit for long distance commutes.

Do you guys like Yammie?

>>16129348

Supermoto isn't for distance. Get two decent bikes instead of one shitty one, ya dingus.

>>16129347
They're super common where I live - they werent a grey market import. Apparently theyre reliable as fuck too, so even if parts are harder to find I wont be replacing critical things too often

>>16129347
As someone who had a 40 year old bike, it's not that hard to find parts m8.

>>16129352
Nope. He's a slowfag and a cunt.

>>16129348
>>16129339
>>16129338
Your motard definition is correct
But those high strung competition engines are a total shit for daily use. Dr650 is air cooled with locknut adjustable valves. It will chug on for fucking years.

I can cruise around at 120 km/h with luggage all day. The limiting factor after about 1.5-2 hours is wind pressure on my legs making my hips sore.

>>16129354
I wish, but alas, im a poorfag
>>16129350
A single cylinder seems like it would be considerably shittier than a 4cyl
>>16129349
Yeah, leaning heavily towards it purely because its a relatively available bike, and it makes me instacum when i hear and testride it

>>16129356
>slowfag
He's always speeding.

Why a cunt?

>>16129360
It's a 250cc i4, you would be riding it near the limit at all the time, that will vibrate more than the average vibrator.

>>16129368
nah he's slow

>>16129368
>He's always speeding
Speeding =/= fastfag

Can'tturn, can'tlean, bought memebike, can't not crash. He's a cuck.

>Why a cunt
Because he acts like a holier than thou cunt even though he's been riding for a shorter amount of time than I have, and I can't even buy alcohol legally.

>>16129360
MC22 a best m8.

>>16129371
>It will vibrate real hard
As opposed to a thumper on the highway? The I4 is still gonna be way smoother than the DRZ m8.

>>16129360
Just get a Duke/rc390 with a bodykit

>>16129360
>confirmed nonothing

just get whatever bike you want and learn from your mistakes

>>16129352
hate

>>16129375
It's going to rev to like 16-17k rpm on the highway, with barely any weight to dampen it. It's gonna feel shit.

>>16129374
What should that picture prove?
>>16129375
Why would you go fast on public roads, underage b&?
He's just your typical socially awkward guy, doesn't look too bad to spend time with.
>>16129383
Reason?

>>16129323
Remember the DR, DRZ, CBR, and most other motors built for the road will put up to much more than your long commutes. Some people ride scooters around the world.

Bigger bikes that can go faster on the highway are a luxury for long rides, not a necessity.

>>16129393
>underage b&?
In America you can be legally considered an adult but unable to buy alcohol legally m8.

>why would you go fast on public roads?
To become a stain and maybe a headline in the local paper I guess?

Bottom line is he's basically r/bikes personified. Goes on about how fast he is, how he's gonna glide past you on the touge with his ninja 300, etc, and then is the same guy who does some fucking stupid shit and loses it then quits riding because "hurr I'm scurred"

>>16129392
Depends on the highway, speeds encountered, and how the bike is geared. Regardless, both bikes are gonna feel like shit. The CBR250RR is gonna be a hell of a lot more fun on the street tho.

Besides, aren't eurocuck speed limits like 60mph max or some shit? You're never gonna find a 250cc bike that'll do highways decently, and you'll never find a thumper that'll do highways decent.

>>16129339
>better than a shitty dizzer
Maybe on paper. Have fun exploring the woods on a cbr. Have fun worrying about expensive plastics when you drop it

>>16129399
>aren't eurocuck speed limits like 60mph max or some shit?
You mean 130km/h (80mph)?

And indeed, even 500-650s have problems with highways here as most are 35kW which gives them barely any power near 130km/h

>>16129399
Euro limits are 130km/h on the highway
Germany, has the autobahn and ireland and Italy don't _really_ have speed limits

>>16129402
You can explore the woods with anything as long as you're not on slicks
And chinks make plastics for anything

>>16129411
>80mph
>tfw if we posted 80mph limits in the US everyone would be regularly running along them at like 120mph
>>16129417
Autobahn and all that should still be fine though. You just need to recognize that you're slower traffic and stay to the right/left depending.

>>16129399
>quits riding
He just bought another bike for the street. He doesn't seem scared since as he said he can't remember anything.

If you really think speeding on public roads is generally okay then you're mentally underage. Speeding on the highway a little bit with the car is okay, even a Yaris Verso is safe doing 140/150.

Is fun

>>16129417
Only in theory. In reality the highway traits in Italy with no limit are very, very few (if not only a single one, can't remember). The limit is almost always 130.

>>16129424
>dat pic
What the fuck, nigga?
Getting injured or injuring others, especially the last one, isn't "fun".

>>16129422
Speeding by itself isn't the problem. It's speeding too much for the given situation.

A local mountain road is limited to 50kph. Sometimes cyclists can pass you if you stay on the speed limit. Corners can be done there at double the speed limit, with wiggle room remaining for brakes and while staying within the lane. Al

>muh speed kills
Tbqhwufam I don't really care about dying so it doesn't matter to me. Nobody is gonna miss me.

>Injuring others
Do you think I fly down bike paths or something? Nobody on the road is gonna get hurt by me riding my bike above the speed limit on twisty roads. Doing it through a major urban center is downright retarded and very few people are dumb enough to do that anyway.

>>16129448
God damn post being sent before I'm finished.

I needed to say, it's only because some idiots can't be trusted to only go as fast as they can do safely and with consideration for unavoidable circumstances. Leaving no reserve in your grip to avoid something or brake, as well as being on the very limit of your skill and vehicles capability is reckless and I don't condone it.

Staying perfectly on a speed limit when you could safely exceed it doesn't make sense though. It's a bit like crossing the street without a marked crossing. It's illegal but if you do it carefully it isn't dangerous.

>>16129456
About 2 weeks ago a guy lost control of his bike on a corner and hit another bike coming the opposite direction. The other bike had a pillion passenger. All 3 were killed. A bike can definitely kill someone and it doesn't even need to involve a collision of your bike. Maybe another bike will try to evade yours sliding into their path and then they crash as a result? You can go fast, but be safe when you do it.

>>16129450
Please tell me you're a britcuck. Or a nip.
>>16129448
How do you safely brake after a turn on a mountain road if there's an obstacle immediately afterwards when you're doing 50kmh?
A bicycle weights what, 6kg?
But you're right, it's not about respecting the speed limit, it's about the specific situation.
>>16129456
You can't know what might happen. Thinking you can't hurt others with a motorcycle is retarded, first there are other bikers and cyclists, second on certain occasions you might injure car drivers.

I'm not a safetyfag but seeing people riding in the other lane in turns, reading about people who think they can't hurt others in case of accident just because they're out of the city is too stupid for me.
