Just moved to Arizona, but my bike (FZ1) is out of state awaiting arrival here. Would it be worth it to trade it and get Vstrom or FZ07/09? I like the FZ1, but I'm itching for different capabilities; the FZ1 is heavy and not that nimble as a naked bikes listed above, nor can it tackle trails or long highway miles comfortable with its low ground clearance and although not clip-ons, still low handle bars.

I work for a healthcare system out here and it took about 5 1/2 days from Florida. I just didn't have the capabilities at the time to tow or trailer the bike out.

I can pay cash for any of these bikes, but I'm just interested in what people who live in this area or an area like it would recommend, as I am used to riding on straight highways with no bends and from what I've driven through so far Arizona has awesome mountain roads to tear up and a lot of off-roading/dirt trails (although I would probably only do the latter more rarely).

I have been thinking about this for a while. Once you spend your first 2-5 riding years riding progressively faster and faster bikes, what's your next bike after the fastest liter peter? I think that's where your actual riding preference comes in.

I used to be in that camp, riding every weekend and putting heaps of energy into it.

Over the past 6 months though, work has ramped up to the point where I'm too fucken exhausted to get in depth with my riding. I've gone back down to a casualfag sunday rider.

So the TL1000S is making less sense and I'm more interested in a comfy sport tourer or possibly a classic naked.

I want to make my own LED tailllight because the one on my bike isn't very visible and the chinks want $100+ for a light assembly.
Will these LEDs be bright enough to get peoples' attention? I plan to make a 3x3 square of them on each side of the bike. http://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/fuoAAOSwepJXWxj5/s-l1600.jpg
Led Diameter = 5mm
Lens type = Flat Top
Lens Color: Water Clear
Viewable Angle = 140 degree
Light Output Color:Red
Brightness = 12,000 mcd
WaveLength = 625nm-630nm
Power Consumption: 20mah

And how do I get them to run dim for the running light (when I'm not using the brakes)? Extra resistors?

>>16149357
save yourself some trouble and just find some trailer LED lights that are already setup for hi/low illumination.
if not that get a smaller viewing angle if your intent is to get peoples attention behind you

File: newlights.jpg (90KB, 343x541px) Image search: [Google]

90KB, 343x541px

>>16149372
That's exactly what I did. I put these 2" trailer lights on my bike but they're not very bright and there's little distinction between running light and brake light. I'm going to be adding these in addition to those lights most likely, not replacing them.
I figured a wider viewing angle would be better so I could be seen from the side too (easier to spot at intersections and from other lanes) but maybe you're right that I want most of the light focused behind me. Would the same brightness (in mcd) with a narrower viewing angle make it appear brighter to people within the narrower viewing angle?

>>16149388
yep, its more focused to it appears brighter.
you could just add them inside the existing lights and wire them to the brake circuit only for added contrast

Anyoen ever repainted a fairing?

Lowsided and fucked my left side main fairing on my ninja 300. Want to sand and repaint it to be black exactly like my right side. Is it possible or should I go to a pro place?

>>16149392
those lights are sealed up so it would be a pain to crack them open and add extra LEDs. I'll probably try to make my lights into a box and probably mound on each side of the plate. If I can't figure a good way to get them to run at a lower intensity I'll just leave them as brake-only lights.

>>16149412
might be easier to just stick these on

Go back to dbt damn it

>>16149431
have you ever seen those in person or used one? A testimonial to them would be nice since they don't really look all that bright and the quality control is obviously sub-par since the shrink wrap covers up half the first LED in their photo

>>16149473
unfortunately no, but they are all rated at 5000mcd per the spec sheet of that particular LED
not a whole lot of choices for you since the rear profile is so small

F800 vs Tenere vs Africa Twin

Which one is best?

>>16149177
Yah. As some anon pointed out before, when you are new and on a 250 the allure of the bigger, faster bikes makes you "bored" with the 250 pretty quick. But once you have owned a litre peater bike, you don't have to chase that any more. You can go ride what you (now know you) like.

I've been riding 30+ years, I can't count how many bikes I've owned, big and small. I'm enjoying the hell out of my 390 Duke right now.

Yeah I wish the rear end of all modern bikes wasn't so curved and pointy. A flat tail like on 90s bikes would make illegal lighting much more convenient. It's even worse on my dual sports where there's literally no vertical surface on the back.

Anyway I found some similar ones for 1/10 the price. $6.50 for 8 strips so I might as well go for it right? http://www.ebay.com/itm/4x-8pcs-5050LED-30CM-15SMD-Car-Motor-Flexible-Waterproof-Strip-Light-12V-New-/331947080192

any of those bikes would do that, the super tenere would probably be the most street worthy, the AT being the most offroad capable and the f800 splitting the difference.

Just go do MSF or the local equivalent in your country.

Alternatively give up because unless you started at 18 months old you'll never be a good rider.

It's pigfat with spring rates set up for pretending to be comfy instead of pretending to be rossi.

The VFR800 is pretty much a ricey looking cruiser.

So it happened once today and once yesterday, my bike didn't start up. It was fully warmed up and running fine, stoped for about 5 mins, came back to start and nothing, only get it to start with full choke and half throttle, battery's fine. Haven't checked anything else yet, what should I check next if it happens again?

I had a PS3 back in the day and completed all of GTA V and played over 100 hours in gta online. The grind was ridiculous

So I'm planning on selling my BMW F650, hopefully this winter, with ~14k kms. I bought it for 2500 euros two years ago, and it's not crashed or anything, only has a little knick on the left side plastics and the bar end when the previous owner dropped it at a red light. The tyres are from this March.

Do you guys think I could put it in the classifieds asking for 2800 euros, considering there are none of these things with less than 25k kms in my area? Also, how less would you offer me if the front brake light doesn't activate (I think it's only a faulty switch, but I have no time to mend that)?

>>16151236

You turn a couple of screws to set the front and rear preload and the rear damping and that's about it. The VFR800 is a solid waste of money bought new. Just get a 98-01 with the matching saddlebags and grab bars/seat cowl (everyone loses them or sells them for hundreds on ebay) included and enjoy your comfy ride without looking like a boomer.

There are ways to make non-street legal bikes legal. An academic distinction should not be grounds for sperging.

What matters is if you have a title and can register your machine, that is all. Custom builders do it all the time but the concept seems oddly alien to /dbt/ stockbikefags.

How you do it depends on your location.

What's it like working in a motorcycle shop?

Got an interview to work in one tomorrow.

Depends on shop. Find out owner preferences and don't be shy about asking how your boss wants things done.

Show good work ethic, be professional and be comfy to work with. Avoid working on anything for yourself on company time and for a good while until you get the lay of the land.

As an employee your job is to project whatever professional image the boss wants. That's easy so do it.

It's a great learning opportunity no school can match. Study the fuck out of factory service manuals, study the double fuck out of the parts ordering system, and become helpfully awesome while being low key and not annoying.

Get good at electrical and computer system troubleshooting. Driveability diagnosis and electrical troubleshooting will make you valuable.

Some people would bitch if they were having an orgasm. Disregard poor Wr.
