Pretty sure the big 4 all still manufacture at least a couple standard/ujms more or less unchanged since their inception. SSR makes the buccaneer/snake eyes things and I'm sure there's a couple other chinese manufacturers that do as well

I'm having a weird issue with my Ninja 250. Last week it just started bogging down super bad at 6k rpm, only when under load. It will continue to rev up over 6k very slowly but it's way down on power.

It is making about half power over 6k, and the exhaust note is kinda weird, like a puffing/humming sound. Maybe it's running on one cylinder but I can't tell.

If I rev it in neutral or with the clutch in it's just fine thought, sounds normal, revs just as fast as it used to.

It started when I ran the tank to reserve for the first time, so I'm thinking I may have just sucked some shit from the bottom of the tank into the carb and the jet is partially blocked, but I've had that issue before and it was never like this.

Anything I should check before I pull the carb this weekend?

>>16238814

I don't understand how he fell. I'm trying, but I don't. It was not specially fast, it didn't had any dirt on the road, he didn't lean too much. Just... how? Can someone explain to me? I don't buy his excuse.

If Pirelli Rosso II had such a warming period, it would be more readily available. Or more people would've crashed. Just WHAT THE FUCK?

Has any A2 license rider here bought a 35kw+ bike and installed a restrictor he can switch on and off? I'm thinking about ditching my GS500 for a FZR 600.

>>16238980
The Skid Demon was bored.

>>16238223
But Rossi doesn't wear a Shoei, how is that possible?

>>16239002
>restrictor he can switch on and off
r u retarded
the FZR is restricted via throttle stopper

>>16238980
It's sort of like he was accelerating too much and ran out of front tire

Dude should get a 250

>>16239002
Most restrictors are either mechanical or fuel maps, Rick

>>16239028
It looks like the rear tire slipped, though.

>>16238902
Jokes on you, my bf doesn't use a condom and I leave no semen leftovers!

>>16239021
Yeah, didn't know how to phrase that. Is it possible to modify the throttle stopper so that you can drive without it most of the time, but restrict it on the fly in case of a police control?

>>16239039

>>16239002
>>16239061
I had one at the carbs that restricted the throttle to like 50% or so.
I just took it out after I got everything in the papers. Police doesn't physically check your bike, they look at your license, look at your papers and have a good day sir.

Unless you were speeding, then they might get suspicious. But in a standard police control, nah.

Mechanically everything is possible but not ready to buy, that would be too stupid even for the gov.

So some dumb bitch hit me a week ago and the value for the damage came back, insurance is saying that the damage is around 2500 and they are sending me check.

They said I can do the repairs myself if I want to.

What's stopping me from just spending the money on something else? He said I would be able to cash the check.

>>16239453

Great machine.

>>16239453
Just remember you're going to drop it.

>>16239454

As a noob the way I see it is the fastest you reach the apex the fastest you can accelerate.

>>16239442

it will be great

>>16239496
But i already have a 450

>>16239461
Dont mind paying extra for it desu.

>>16239466
Ehh if i drop it it'll hurt a bit but im planning to keep it. I'm guessing in the future i'll want to try dif colour so i'd end up buying new fairings.

>>16239470
Tbh i don't think i'll outgrow it because i'm planning to use it as a commuter and long distance riding in the country. So i think it'll have enough power/comfort for me.

>>16239479
:(

>>16239453
Feel free, but I'd suggest you ride something used, reliable, and CHEAP for a year or two to learn on and make mistakes with. It'll also be a good way to make sure your riding preferences don't change drastically and leave you stuck with a bike you regret paying so much for. If you choose the bike and deal properly you might even be able to sell a used bike for as much or more than you paid for it even after getting your learning experience out of it.

Once you really know what you're doing and know for sure the bike is what you want, new and truly YOUR baiku will both make sense and be all the more satisfying.

>>16239507

>>16239436
nothing. Just know if your cost of repairs is greater than the value of the check. The insurance will fight you on that if you even cash the check. I always give it to whoever repairs my vehicle.

>>16239511
make sure you throw a leg over something similar to test ergo's, it's hard to figure out without feeling it in person.

>>16239539
The only thing I've experienced so far is finding myself in the other lane in left hairpins for turning too much, nigga.
I may be a bike noob but I never miss an apex on a car, the only problem I have as of now is with the hairpins but I'm working on it.

>>16239522
Just go into the diagnostics and look what the error is.

Or, clear it and only worry about it if it comes back :^)

I get a check engine light that comes on when my engine is cold and goes away once it warms up and I turn it on and off. Is it something I should worry about?

Can't, rightfully the bike entered limp mode and then just refused to start

>>16239618
I've just started riding what do you expect me to do, run wide?
Let me get some confidence and bike sensibility first. I'm afraid of looking through the corner and not in front of me and miss something on the road in the corner.

Sorry m8. You should go to the dealer.

>>16239651
It's 99% likely it's your fuckup when you replaced whatever you did, no idea what a rear pressure thingy is or what you mean by the accelerator but I'd be looking at those.

>>16239659
Go to a parking lot and fix that habit before you crash or lowside or do seomthing stupid. Seroiusly, put something that will serve as a marker in your backpack and use them as apex indicators and just ride around looking through the corners you made at a comfortable speed.

Not looking at where you want to be is a seriously bad habit.

>>16239665

Nah, i vividly remember having to struggle to close the rear connector clasp, but i have no memory of doing so on the front, so...

I didn't say I don't do that or that I always find myself in the left lane in left turns, it happened only at first and I'm working on it but I need more confidence and sensibility. I need to know what I and my bike can do first.

Today I reached my first mountain pass without too much trouble. Apart from the fucking freezing temperature.

>>16239711
You never redo the insulation by safety after plugging/wiring something?
One lil' sprinkle of wd40, à bit of electrical tape and you're trouble free.

>>16239722
Quite frankly no, if i solder something (which on this bike i did not) i use 1 or 2 layers of heat shrinking tape

In this case it's a 30something pin enclosed in a plastic housing with a rubber gasket and a small latch

You could machine a block with a pin stop perpendicular to the axis of throttle grip rotation and conceal it in a modified right side handlebar switch cluster.

You could also use a carb solenoid which would stop throttle rotation at a carb rack until powered on, whence the solenoid retracts and gets out of the way.

>>16239690
Got a factory service manual? Not aftermarket. For those sort of jobs a manual promptly pays for itself.

I'd shoot all the wires too. If your connections aren't perfect, do them correctly all the time every time.

An incandescent test light beats a meter for shooting wires because an incandescent bulb is a load. We called them "load lights" in avionics.

To shoot a harness, disconnect everything from the harness so you don't shoot through any components to get a false reading. Supply battery voltage through a fused or breakered test lead to one end of each wire, ground the test light, verify good ground, then probe each wire at a time. If shorts in the bundle are suspected, probe the other wires.

>>16240172
yea if you are going slow as fuck and not expecting the clutch to drop. if it pop starts then you have a starter problem. if it doesn't pop start you have some fuel problem most likely

>>16240212

Put it in 2nd, run up to 15km/h, hop on then drop
If It's a v4 you're gonna need an hill, on 3rd, for a single first may be enough

>>16240190
BTW since you didn't post a pic I don't know your precise connector problem but one way to fix fucked connectors is to buy a good connector and wire in a pigtail which you then splice to your harness. This compensates for wire lost to removing a fucked connector.

Something else worth knowing is if you buy a crimped connector which requires a special crimper, you can get by soldering the connection AND you can de-solder in future if required. Tin the end of your wire after dipping in LIQUID flux. Ensure wire strand will fit inside pin first. Slide tinned wire into pin and heat with a soldering iron from which all removable solder has been wiped off on the damp sponge you prepared for the purpose.

Practice on scrap parts first until you get good, it takes little time.That way you'll know how far back to trim insulation and wire.

>>16240230
Enough sensibility to perform any action is enough sensibility to identify and modify the action, so identify then modify.

go down a hill if you can't get a push or don't feel comfortable pushing yourself then jumping on.

When you drop the clutch, you dump your arse down on the seat, momentarily increasing the weight on the rear wheel and therefore increasing it's contact patch and grip.

Trust us, this is nothing new.

>>16240249
Yes?
What's your point?

Looking for a commuter, I already have a 600cc soprtbike.
Someone posted the VX800 and it looked like a good bike, cheap to buy cheap parts etc. I wouldn't really save gas compared to my shitbox but a V2 would be cool and its comfy to tour with.

Or should I go for a 250cc or an old 500cc? They save gas but I don't think they're as much fun.

Yep. I'd go with one.

Computer and sensor connections also fall victim to small amounts of oxidation, so the WD-40 trick is worth doing to any in the system even if they look good. BTW even computers in a clean environment can develop oxidation on connector interfaces so I reseat things like hard disk connectors before condemning a part.

Make sure all your grounds are good, not just visually. Funky grounds on bikes and cars can be exasperating.

Take written notes.

if its feeling like NO POWER early in the tach, you might be running rich. Does your exhaust smell gassier than normal?

If you have access to sparkplugs check if they have black soot on them, another way is to check if theres a lot of black soot build up in your exhausts.

It would indicate your carbs might not be running efficiently.

>>16239487
It's uhh generally the opposite, a late apex is usually designed to get the bike as upright and accelerating as early as possible, it's generally why people late apex the last corner before the main straight.

I would say the most common rider error in terms of line choice is rushing the apex, I can draw you a diagram if you want to know why but suffice to say on the road a late apex is always preferable as it gives you more vision around the corner for oncoming vehicles or upcoming hazards and far more margin for error if you run wide on exit (as you are taking a tight exit line and HAVE space to run off)

>>16239659
>>16239681
is right, training vision is vital and can be done in a parking lot.

Just set up a figure of eight course and go around and around trying to look ahead through the turn and get comfortable, this will help you out with tighter corners as well so it's a double whammy.

If you don't do this I'm also gonna take a shit in your christmas stocking so you better do it.

wait I think I've figured it out, I think you believe "Apex" means point of turn in, or point of severe turn in.

Apex means when you clip/kiss the inside line of the turn.

Rolling breaks bones in extremities like hands wrists, ankles etc. If you have proper gear on you want to lay flat and slide to a stop, preferably before hitting anything other than the ground. If you're not wearing proper gear, you may want to opt for the broken bones as the road rash your going to get is probably going to be more painful over the time it takes to heal.
