>The assist feature is activated by the clutch, which communicates to the ECU and raises the engine RPM when the clutch begins to engage.

Basically if you don't give it enough throttle to take off the bike notices it and rises RPM. Without it you would just stall like usual.

Nothing to worry about, just relevant for new riders.

i stalled for the first time in a while the other day. i didnt tighten the clutch cable adjuster full, and it rattled loose. it dropped the clutch at too low an rpm when i was coming out of a stop. my right boot got caught on the peg and i almost dropped it.

>>16139374
>nobody is going out buying this bike like "oh yeahh low rpm assist I totally need this"
then why would they offer it?

fact is, too many retards that think "oh shit, I have all of these electronic doodads, my bike is basically uncrashable" will get bikes like these, vastly overestimating these "security features", and will end up fucking killing themselves. The last thing this world needs is motorcyclists that have no idea how to ride because their bike does it all for them, in addition to car drivers that also basically let their cars drive themselves

Cool. It's fun so I'll keep trying.

>>16139433
Maybe don't, your bike may have enough power to lose traction slightly but i doubt it is breaking traction completely, going to end up high siding if you keep at it m8.

Washed bike, convieniently the 5 degree weather turned out to be sun and no wind around noon so I actually developed something of a sweat. All that's left for winter storage is to put it in neighbor garage, mix in fuel stabilizer, remove battery and seat and shed a single tear.

So I survived my first season of riding:
Times crashed: 1
Times dropped: 6?
Turn signals replaced: 4
Flywheels jammed: 1
Waves: many
Friends made: 0
Girls picked up: 0
Travels through shitty small villages that can go fuck themselves: 2

>>16139445
lol that overtake was pathetic

>>16139452
>>16139456
I live on a slope and have no garage, unparking it the first bunch of times was hard. Also it's got a choke and once I unparked it, put in neutral, let the choke rip, and while doing this put on the rest of my gear. Vibrations made it move JUST A TINY BIT and then it fell on the downslope side. Adrenaline rush getting it back up was real.
>>16139459
Technically 2 now, once on very first ride on own motorcycle, driving it home underestimated a roundabout. Then like 2 days ago I took out someone's rear light in stop-and-go-traffic. It was a weird day, I was riding 150kmh on highways having fun, then on way home at 20kmh I hit someone.
>>16139480
>>16139477
>>16139475
Not proud of it, I usually don't overtake when I'm not sure it's safe. This was the 2nd to last commute I had at that job, I had ridden that stretch of road 180 times this year. I was being a retard. But hey, close call webm.

You funny euros shouldn't be worried about trip upping the nukes. Be more worried about trump being butt buddies with Putin and that trump would probably be a vindictive Asshole and ignore the russkies driving tanks over your lawns.
So what would make for a SHTF/TEOTEAWKI bike that is street legal that could be ridden around while waiting for apocalypse?

>>16139484
Buy and study a copy of Proficient Motorcycling.

Keep your head and eyes up and constantly, SYSTEMATICALLY scanning your environment. When riding think of nothing else.

This so much

The only close call i actually had was when I was riding with a mate of mine up a rather steep mountain at dawn. I had my GPS on, and got distracted by that, and afterwards, looked into my rear view mirror to check if he was still there. I must have only been looking away from the street for one or two seconds, but that was enough to already be on the shoulder at 40 kmh. I luckily could still save it and clear the corner, but that made me realise how vitally important it is to always 100 % know what's in front of you

that doesn't matter, I'm not american either, but even in europe, it is vital that you are insured while working, especially when you are doing something involved driving around. It doesn't even matter if you cause an accident or not, even if you and the bike are insured, they are not insured for commercial purposes. So you are literally riding around uninsured, which is illegal

"cleared" is political spin. there are no charges because she's sufficiently insulated from them by her underlings. look for presidential pardons for weiner and abdedin from obama before he leaves office. this should confirm for you that there was something they were hiding that was never made explicitly public.

An extra 12 pounds from a tank that holds an extra 2 gallons wouldn't hurt anything but aesthetics. Add a fraction of a pound for tank material.

lies. 4-strokes require just as much maintenance but it's a lot more expensive and complex. for example a 4-stroke MX bike will need a piston, valves, and cam chain just as often as a 2-stroke will need a piston and rings alone.

Like the sound of the I4 and the lower weight, but like the bigger power of the V4. Parts (I think) would be more available for the 250 purely because there were more of them sold here (neither were grey imports).
Probs light commuting, track days, tackling local twisties (not too far away so no lengthy tours), etc.

Chinapeople and Indiapeople think so. BMW is doing the same with the abomination of power-weight that is the G310GS. It's purely an attempt to gain a foothold in new markets where scooters rule.

That said, I hate it and I think it smells and Suzuki should go punch themselves and ADV bikes are already bad enough and I hate small ADV bikes.

>>16140611
Those engines are pretty bulletproof, even after they started getting made in China(? I think? Using Rotax parts if I remember correctly).

>06 r6 won't start, just clicks. Pls help.

Verify charged battery, then troubleshoot starter relay etc per the schematic in the service manual you bought when you got the bike.

If your headlight is bright, battery is likely good enough to start bike. Check all cables including grounds. If you can jump starter relay (ensure bike is not in gear!) that may start it. If not, if you can access the power cable to your starter and jump from your positive battery cable to that BRIEFLY with a jumper cable you can see if the starter will turn over the engine.

>>16139583
>I got it started, dunno how but im going to get the battery tested.

If it cranked easily the battery may not be the problem. Perform a charging system test per your manual with a meter if possible, or get info from a brand specific forum one of which may have a manual.

There isn't much to starter systems but all the safety nanny-state shit is a (removable, bypassable) hassle.

Sup /o/, it's finally time to replace my Suzuki Bandit with something more powerful.
The problem is I don't have a whole lot of cash, but I found one sexy looking ducati monster 600 from 2002.
What can /o/ advise me about this bike?

>>16140921
how the fuck do i do that?

i keep playing with the choke and/or rolling on the throttle but it's still too damn cold to start the damn thing.

>>16140926
Put it in gear, hold down clutch, walk or run a bit, get on, let go of clutch.

Whats the aluminium? Bar that steers the bike? I put in handlebars to search and it shows the ends. Apparently they are inexpensive and easy to replace. Just need to order one

>>16140894
This typically works well but when riding around 40F and below, the visor has to be down unless you want to freeze and get chapped lips drier than granny's snatch

>>16140932
Agreed. My limit is usually 40f and above. I open it when stopped and just keep the chin vent open. Usually no problems

which one is better? Huqsvarna or KTM?

>>16140955
Modern husqvarna is just KTM with rear suspension that works.

>>16140755
It's probably an Aprilia. My gixxer's tool kit is fucking STACKED. It has pretty much everything you got pictured except bigger wrenches for countershaft nut/rear wheel nut and a 24mm allen (yes you read that right) for the front wheel. Suzuki doesn't fuck around. You can rebuild your bike on the side of the road if you have to

>>16140922
Don't know much about Ducatis other than they require more maintenance...but whenever money is an issue, I think it's wiser to go with a Japanese bike. Same with a car. Wider parts availability and affordability.

>>16139445

bet you're happy you crashed that 250 instead of something else, right? i was in the same boat. over the course of my first year of riding, as a 17 year old i must have crashed 5 or 6 times on my EX250 trying to be valentino rossi in the canyons. only minor injuries. a collarbone here, a wrist there, some road rash. a stronger engine would have opened up faster roads and higher speeds, and i'm one of those people who might not have survived on anything bigger.

i ride a liter now and haven't crashed in something like nine years. eternally grateful i had people steering me directly first onto the EX250.

There was a perfect SV650 for $2500 I wanted to buy, the seller was a long time rider, did all maintenance, basically as good of a seller admitted you could find.
Wasn't fast enough and I got a DR350 instead with a tiny ass toolbox bolted across from the muffler, kek

I probably would have killed myself on the SV though, I had no riding experience at all.
Would be a cool second bike though, if I don't get cocky and go for a 600.

you think you're the only person to ever think this? motorcyclists tend to always think they're hot shit, it's just the kind of person who is drawn to motorcycles. don't start on a 500, start on a 250. buy used and sell it a year down the road for what you got it for and then move up to your expensive italian dreambike. it's not just about self-control, it's about learning a set of skills which are completely unnatural to humans.

>tfw my suzuki dual sport has literally no storage room
I put a screwdriver in my airbox once so I could adjust my suspension clickers while out riding but it got oily and gross.
I bought a fender pack for it but it's held on straps which go over the top of the pack so it's a hassle to actually get things in and out and keep it secured on the bike so I don't even use it.

>set of skills which are completely unnatural to humans.


what is leaning and yaw control

k


I've ridden before but this will be MY first bike. maybe i should have specified that I already have my license and have seat time.

>>16141219
self control does not equate to skill.
and how good are you at evasive measures?
you arent the only one on the road

>Boohoo my bike isn't epic hardcore now because it has something that does nothing against me but helps newer riders out.

Get over yourself

>>16141225
you're the hotshot, right? go buy yourself a panigale and knock yourself out. i have no problem trying to help new riders puzzle out motorcycling, but i have zero patience for new riders with an ego.

Not all

>>16141248
even a 250 will out-accelerate the vast majority of cars on the road as long as you're not a lard ass. you're not obese, right?

looks like you've made a mistake! Worry not, there's a community for people like you. You should navigate to reddit.com/r/motorcycles so you can better fit in until you're ready to engage in sensible and productive discourse!

Because I do know you.

Your every word exudes an arrogance unfitting of your experience, something we've all been through and we all know about. We actually know you better than you know yourself and there'll come a time in the future where you understand that.

The fact that you are saying you've raced karts as though that's going to impact anything about riding a severely different vehicle tells me all I need to know.

For your first maybe 20,000 km of riding you're a noob on motorcycles.

You need to have no ego when riding a bike, you cannot take this attitude you have right now and find motorcycling nirvana with it. I'm just letting you know.

He was obviously talking about 500cc cuckmobiles not 2-stroke MX bikes. That isn't comparable to a Buell Blast or Ninja 500 at all.

>>16141179
yes, I've done it with alpenflage in south florida

>>16141046
there is no do it all bike. there will be compromises. i would say get the husky.

>>16141226
well I'm not dead yet and I've been riding long enough to be sick of borrowing a bike. although I'm not sure the point you're trying to make tying evasive maneuvers and engine displacement? there's more power but controlling wheelspin and torque delivery is something I'm already pretty well versed in. unless your referencing the weight of the bike? I've had no problems with the bike I ride so far.

>>16141255
Still slow and easy control for noobs

>>16141277
why are you even here? you've made up your mind already. fuck off back to plebbit

it's not "slow" at all. if you could go back in time you could absolutely destroy any GP bike on the grid in 1960. "slow" is not absolute, it's relative -- and relative to a fucking fire-breathing literbike supersport, pretty much ANY vehicle on the road is slow. it's just not a sane or rational baseline.

DR-Z400S>SM. The SM is far less capable off road and practically no advantage on road.

Though keep in mine the 5-speed transmission on the DRZ is fairly limited. If you gear it for off-road it will be revving its nuts off on the highway. Sprocket changes get pretty annoying to do between every ride so it's not ideal if you frequently change between single track one day and highway the next.

The KTM and Husqvarna are literally the same bike. They're a better bike all around than the DRZ but are known to break down more.

I'm mentioning that I have more than the average driver's seat time and experience

>"""ego"""
I know what I want and have the right to purchase what I so please. What elitists like yourself always seem to assume is that self confidence and unwilligness to compromise on where someone spends their own money means that someone has an ego.

Now, I am looking for recommendations that don't have to be """le pinnnacle of riding le experience""" because I won't have any thing to reference it to but I want the damn thing to have more than 500ccs of displacement. now you can either make a recommendation or fuck right off.

That has nothing to do with riding a motorcycle

>>16141285
I'm here because I want recommendations for bikes more than 500ccs but doesnt have to be the fucking Porsche 918 of bikes.


If I had just asked for recommendations for a second bike this would not have been a fucking problem.

>>16141321
it does have a lot to do with learning to drive vehicles that have different handling characteristics, finding where the limit is, whether it be your skill level or the limits of your machine, and respecting that limit.


you idiots have no goddamn critical thinking skills.

just keep repeating the 500cc meme that way you all can have your 500cc le never bored bikes and brown manual diesel wagons.


you know what,I'm out. I'm just gonna go look at bikes on my own and buy something that looks and sounds nice. then proceed to never have a problem with it because I know how to negotiate traffic.

See you idiots never.

Starting on 250 isn't inherently safer than starting on something a little bigger
