I did an oil change. I'm always amazed at how smooth my gear changes are with brand new oil. Then put my new caliper, pads, and rotor on my car for winter. It's gone snow here in a couple days, maaaaybe, so I got all that done just in time.

pirelli XCMH. your rear is good. As long as you don't mind replacing it more often, you will love it

So I just spent $330 on a Brembo RCS 19 master cylinder kit after I concluded my original master cylinder was fucked since it wasn't holding any pressure in the lever.

Well, after 1 round of bleeding, my brand new brembo master cylinder isn't holding any pressure either.

is there ANY CHANCE something could be wrong with the brand new stainless steel braided cables I bought?

Or is it more than likely something is fucked with my calipers?

do you have the whole RMZ front end or do the RMZ forks slide right up into the SM triple clamps?

>>16179587
push the pistons all the way into the calipers and use a syrenge to push brake fluid up through the system from the bottom

>>16179583
Are they really not worth it? Knobbies are loud over 50 and I've been riding much more on-road than I expected.

>>16179604
The PO used a pro taper triple, and I think a different spacer between the fork and wheels
I think there are other forks you can buy that are compatible with the stock triple
PO also installed oversize radiators and gave me the old bent ones. Must've been a good crash.

no, they're not unless you're doing plenty of track riding where you'll actually be cranking it over far enough for the better tire choices to matter. You can get plenty of tires for your stock wheels that do great on the road.

>>16179655
Honestly he shouldn't have bought a DRZ if he wanted maximum performance in either area. The DRZ is a dual sport designed to be a compromise between streetability and dirt worthiness. It only makes sense to get a tire that's good for both.

>>16179695
At this point, I don't want to sacrifice trail performance for better street tires. That's why I was considering a new set of wheels, so that when I do ride dirt I can swap them out and use SM wheels for the road.

I can't afford two bikes and wont be able to for 3 more years. At that point, I'm going to be moving and may have to sell the DRZ anyways.

so why spend hundreds on upgrades?

>>16179712
keep in mind the SM wheels get extreme meme tax. Expect to pay at least $700 for wheels, or likely over $1000 for a full setup including tires, sprockets, and rotors.

>>16179696
I agree but I meant traction instead of performance.
The problem with DS tires is that the true knobbies perform much better out of their element than the road-oriented tires. My XCMH's are hardly worse on pavement than the kenda K270s....but miles better on dirt.
The only true advantage of a "50/50" tire is it wears out slower.

>>16179726
My total time on the bike per day is at least an hour. I ride as much as possible, but my commute times still aren't substantial.

>>16179729
Yeah, that's why I'm questioning if it'll be worth it.

>>16179733
I've never liked knobbies on the road. They feel wobbly as the knobs flex around. They are noisy. And they have shit traction, especially noticeable when braking. If I try to stop quickly they start to skid way before the rear wheel lifts up like with a street tire. The 50/50 tire I tried wasn't great either. My 705s (considered 80/20 street tire) are great tho. Feels just like a good street tire until I get to the trails where it performs way better than one. It's no knobby but it's surprisingly good until I get to grease mud. I really don't feel like they fall short (compared to the pilot powers I had on my supermoto wheels) except for when I throttle it hard through a corner in low gear where I sometimes get a slight wheel slip.

>>16179729
this is why you get the SM then buy S wheels.

Swapping wheels frequently still gets old really fast. I prefer to just have one set of wheels that does everything so I don't have to change them out if I want to do the other, especially since I don't know where I will be riding each day.

>>16179765
The 705s are quite a bit groovier than that. As I said they can't compare to a knobby but for your casual dual sporter who rides mostly street and occasionally goes down a light trail they do plenty well, especially compared to a street tire people throw on supermotos. The narrow, larger diameter wheels by themselves actually make quite a bit of difference and help off-road.

>>16179809
What are you trying to prove? I've already said they're a compromise tire for people who spend most of their time on road.

Also have you considered the bikes are a large part of the shittiness?

Also doesn't matter how fast you're going. Braking capability of knobbies sucks and you could need that at any speed.

Beautiful. I some how found one of the few scenic roads that hasn't been ruined by oilfield traffic or by pump stations. The moon was awesome and there was just the right amount of humidity and dust in the air that it looked spectacular.

My cool season riding gear needs a little maintenance but even the chill didn't damper the ride.

End of night was a little bitter sweet as I chained my bike to the carport, going out of town for thanksgiving so no riding for a week.

>>16180031
I gave serious thought to riding my bike to EP for thanksgiving even with all the hairiness taking a 250cc onto I-10 entails just so I could ride next week.

Had to abandon that after an oilfield worker apparently backed into the rear quarter panel/bumper at the local BBQ place. No I need to take my sentra in over the break so it can get repaired.

Trying to see a silver lining, if they keep my sentra longer then the week I'll "have" to ride my bike to work until its ready.

>tfw sell bike to upgrade
>Been 2 months now and get paranoid about going through with deals
Last bike was worth 5,000. 1200 bandit. It was old but still quick, nimble enough and I knew it was reliable after looking after it for a year.

Now I'm looking at getting a cbr / gsxr or something similar. Preferably a gsxr750 or cbr1000rr. (Test rode a cbr600 but hated how slow it was down low).

Problem is I'm getting extremely paranoid about spending 10k on a second hand bike that could have hidden problems. Am I being unreasonable? What's the worst that could happen? I would buy new but there's a chance I'm moving overseas in a few months and don't want to piss away my money.

>>16180270
Ok I got alcohol, oxy, weed what do we get meme'd on

>>16180245
bikes worth a damn:
dual sports and dirtbikes - includes supermotos
sportbikes
dedicated touring bikes

bikes not worth a damn:
drag bikes
cruisers
"standards"
adventure bikes aka fat dirtbikes and standards with knobbies

>>16180278
>there's a chance I'm moving overseas in a few months
Then don't buy a bike at all.

>>16180283
I don't consider those ADV bikes with cast rims, they are just touring bikes. True ADV has spoked rims.

>>16180286
I can't last 4 months without a bike. 2 months has been hell

>>16180295
Cast rims aren't necessarily worse for offroad, just more expensive and sophisticated if they're good for it

>>16180278
the worst that can happen is that your bike is superficially clean, but has bent rotors, pads with 10% life left, an oil leak which you'll notice as soon as you drive away, fuelling problems, an odometer from a completely different bike reading 40k less miles than are actually on the motor, and a bent frame.

>>16180312
99% of the time you'll have epoxied over cracks in the fairings, tweaked triples, paint damage, and a bent subrame from a looped wheelie

I'm just paranoid about losing money.

>>16180332
you always lose money with pretty much any purchase.

>>16180283
totally agree
where do you draw the line between dual sport and adv?

>>16180347
Increasing weight, decreasing suspension travel, and fancy plastics

>>16180339
Last 5 bikes I've owned I either made a profit (up to $1,000) or got back what I paid. So I'm hoping I can do so again.

>>16180361
don't expect to do that with a late-model sportbike

>>16180361
Well, uh

Bring a measuring tape, a flashlight, some universal stands, and your tools. If they won't let you take things off to measure the frame, check the wheel alignment. and do basic checks like seeing whether or not the air filter is still there, or do it for you, don't fucking buy it.

Tips for wheelies guys?
I can get 1st gear but I'm having trouble with 2nd gear.
One night months ago I just got 2nd gear wheelies over and over so I know the bike is capable...
But I can only barely get a stand up 2nd gear wheelie going now.
My technique (as best as I can explain) is to pull the clutch in just enough to rev the bike up near the redline and then let go of the clutch as I open the throttle up completely and lean back standing up but I can't get it going like I used to, and definitely not sitting down.

Bike pulls as hard as it used to. I can still manage a 1st through 3rd wheelie on a long enough road, it doesn't seem low on compression.

>>16181244

When you put the front back down, hold the front brake. Makes it much smoother, no bounce at all.

>>16181244
>>16181244
what bike? You're probably not keeping it in the right rev range when you do the wheelie. You should probably be about halfway to redline before you pull in the clutch.

Bleeding can be a bitch. Air rises so the syringe advice is good, and you can use small hose clamps (constant tension "wing" style, not worm drive) to snug your plastic tubing on the caliper nipple if needed.

I anti-seize my nipple threads so they never stick, and use a box end wrench to bleed since all nipples are tender and soft. Anti-seize also helps seal the threads when the bleeder screw is cracked open for bleeding.

Remember you can bleed brakes at all fittings! I crack the banjo bolt fitting on the master and bleed that first, then alternate until I get firm lever feel.

Bleeding eventually pisses off anyone. For example I've been swapping calipers since the 1980s, but I got the shim washers a cunt hair off on one side of an HD four piston caliper adapter and the system wouldn't bleed. Figured it out after much bleeding and cursing. I let caliper hang loosely over rotor, bled fine, shimmed afterwards.

Conquering it, leaving it in ruins while transporting horny Commies for a comfy wine and rapefest? If conquest is cool in one direction (Drang Nach Osten!) then it's cool headed the other way. Think of it as an old school biker gang party, but with more artillery.

>>16180575

Confirmed for an imbecilic shitball. The WESTERN Allies stopped because they preferred to bleed Russia, and they were right since Berlin cost the Red Army dearly and treaties carving up the conquest were already signed.

I think I don't use it enough, so When I hit the throttle on turning and roundabounds I feel sometimes that it's put me out of balance, So I need to half prees the cluth right?

I always thought you should avoid it because it's wear out the clutch

you know that the Russians never reached over the Poland/germany border, right?
they had nothing to do with Germany so they stood front to front and never even came close to Berlin, they never even reached dresden
the germans defended Poland for their safety, that's the only place where Germans even saw the Russians
Ivan was too busy trying to fix their UDSSR shithole they created

Where did you get that shit and who do you think occupied East Germany and East Berlin until the Wall came down? BTW I was stationed at Sembach AB during the Cold War and chatted with many older Germans about the WWII. There are plenty of people still alive who hauled arse out of Berlin as the Soviets crashed into it. Are you some retarded American white trash who gets their insanity from conspiracy sites? As an American veteran with a clue and a lifelong personal and professional interest in military history, I wish you to crash hard and be crippled. You deserve it you stupid fuck.

I also grew up with our WWII and Occupation vets when they were still in the workforce. No one could have hidden a Soviet halt outside or at German borders. Millions of people were directly affected by where all Allied armies were positioned before and at VE day.

Since your post indicates you have nostalgia for Nazism (hey, anyone who killed that many Commies please me too!) I suggest more serious study instead of wallowing in nonsense. The Wehrmacht and SS rear guard actions were magnificent acts of bravery not to be tarnished by fools. Many former German soldiers fought Communism after the war in the French Foreign Legion.

Snooth throttle control.

I only do half pressing at 90° corners where I need to slow down to 5-10km/h or at walking pace, slow maneuvering where I come close to half/full steering lock.

But in a roundabout? Nah. I have yet to see one that requires me to go at snailpace.

>I always thought you should avoid it because it's wear out the clutch
It's the proper way at slow speed, it's designed to do that. If you don't ride a duc chances are good you have a wet clutch anway.
