To put it in perspective: My supersport has the stock seat. It is pretty hard but at least it is wide enough for a normal butt. At its narrowest point it is as wide as the widest point on the Seat Concepts comfort seat on both of my dual sports. The stocks seats on those, especially the KTM, are literal assrape.

I've never ridden a WR450 but it made a world of difference on my 450EXC. I recommend the standard or tall seat though, not the low cut one. The foam is thinner and the angle of the cut makes me constantly feel like sliding forward and my pants ride up into my groin.

Any wrenchers in here? My first bike (odometer ~53,000km / ~33,000mi) was running lean a month or so ago, she'd drop out at high power; mechanic said the carb slides were worn. Checked the carbs meself and they seemed to run fine (albeit with a hell of a vacuum), then found a frayed throttle cable and a less than perfect air filter (paper) which seemed to have been placed in two years ago. Both of those I replaced.

Got the thing up and running today, and riding it around there were light pops (in the same, repeated rhythm) every now and then, regardless of clutch / accel / decel / idle. Rode it up to about 60kph (~40mph), was a bit fearful to take it any further. It also idled way too high (3k RPM vs. a standard 1.3k) and would die if I gave it choke (although it is summer).

What do?

>>16247128

I've been trying breh, but thanks for putting my mind at ease. Apparently worn slides can create an internal leak of sorts as air goes around the slide instead of under like it's supposed to (CV carb). Expensive to fix and bloody scary. Do you know anything about that, or if there's anything else at all I ought to have in mind while I'm working on this bike?

IDK about that. My bike is tuned right and doesn't like to run with full choke once warmed up.

If possible on your bike try taping over some of the airbox opening (reduces air flow). If it runs better it is too lean. Or remove the airbox cover (more air flow). If it runs better it is too rich.

>>16247029
Not me I'm straight

>>16247251
Anon, I knew what I said and I meant it. It works. Besides why the fuck are you pulling your choke in and out if your bike is tuned right and runs well.

Don't sass me. That is a tried a true method when your bike has a problem and you wanna trouble shoot the fuel mix.

Obviously don't fucking do it if your bike runs fine like yours.

>>16247189
"warn slide" sounds like BS, especially with a CV carb, as the diaphragm seals the slide. Slide wear hasn't been an issue since the old D'ellorto carbs in the sixties.

If you have a puncture in the diaphragm, though, that would be trouble.


If you've been riding regularly, and havn't let the bike sit for a month or two at a time, then the carbs probably are not clogged. That leaves air leaks.

If it DID sit for any length of time with gas in the float bowls, then it's carb cleaning time.

>>16247251
>>16247276
Yeah I removed the air filter for a quick test and there was practically no change (empty airbox). That being said, prior to installing it I tested with no airbox at all (carbs open to the air) and it would stall without choke (I know that would obviously be too lean without the airbox), although it wasn't popping when it ran.

I should mention that the new air filter isn't the same brand as the old one, which seemed to be OEM

I'd say... More than two months? Although I had a bike that I rode only once a month, fairly short trips (I used it for grocery shopping) and after about six months it was starting and running poorly. A few 100 mile trips and it was running fine again.

On the other hand, I let a bike sit six months once, and it wouldn't run past idle thereafter.

Then you have an air leak bruh. Also get on some actual forums and see what jets people are running your bike. Even if you have an aftermarket exhaust somebody somewhere has information on the optimal carb loadout.

But yeah its an airleak is your next troubleshooting step. Its an intake boot or a gasket or something letting air in. Sometimes you can't even see or tell that its there.

Alright cool. Just looked at the break down and you got rubber intake boots and not gaskets yaaaay. Looks like they are easy to replace. These usually shit out faster than the gaskets. Inspect them for tears or whatever and you might as well put a new set on once you have the carbs off.

Not really. When you shut the engine down, fuel is left in the carb. The liquid part of the fule evaporates, leaving behind the dissolved solids. If you leave it for months, all the fuel will evaporate leaving the non-liquid parts in a thick layer over everything and clogging the passageways. If you leave it a month at a time, running just a little every month, some will evaporate leaving a little more solid behind every time.

Now, all the stuff left behind is stuff that can dissolve in gas. After all, that's where it came from. So when I took my longer trips, all the fuel running through the carbs slowly dissolved the crap in the carb and the bike ran better.

Asked this in the webm thread, but I'll ask it here since this thread probably gets more views.

How hard is it to pick up a bike that's dropped? I don't ride, so I have no frame of reference for how much they weigh.
Is it a one person lift or do you need another person to help?

>>16247578
Depends a lot on the bike and the person, I'm a manlet (5'5, 125lbs) so the one time I dropped my Ninja 300 (385lbs) I could get it back up but it took some doing.

File: W101 Dumped.webm (3MB, 800x450px) Image search: [Google]

3MB, 800x450px

>>16247578
Depends entirely on 3 things
1. Ground surface
2. Bike weight
3. Whether or not you lift

>>16247566
7/8" is fine for the street I guess

>>16247578
Unless you have some sort of disability or your bike is super fucking heavy you should be able to pick it up alone in normal circumstances. It helps a lot to know the right technique, tho.
Stand with the bike behind you. Grab the handlebar closer to the ground and somewhere on the tail section. The bars will turn toward the direction of the fall. Squat down with your back straight and then lift with your legs.

I really don't think here's any significant/meaningful difference in strength. Especially since a fatbar would require a clamp adapter which would provide a further weak point. I don't want to raise my bars any higher either.

Supermotos are the answer to the "you can only have one bike in your whole life" question because most of that is bike dependent or can be fixed and you still have better offroad capability with the right tires

Supersport+supermoto spare for wrenching/fucking around bike is master race

>>16247662

For when you want to go faster than 30km/h in first gear.

>>16247652
I've seen it on the ninja 650 and the particular one I'm getting is sequential and bright as fuck. Super visible. The fender eliminator kit I have came with brackets for the stock signals as well tho in case I need to put them on for some reason.

>>16247681
Because one day, your supersport won't be rideable because you're waiting for a new tire and the old one is a flat

Also offroad = drops. Supersport = heavy and also expensive. Do not drop heavy, expensive motorcycles.

Two bikes = instant choice. One bike = time to replace wheels with the ones with knobs.

>>16247692

Certainly not like a proper street tire, but they do the job for fair money. Shinko 705 is another nice choice, but not so good in sand/mud. Waiting on CC to report back on the 804/805 combo.

>>16247766
Oh. I was thinking you're talking about putting duallies on a supersport to do away with needing a supermoto and a spare offroad set of rubber, my bad.

How are dualsports treads and compounds better than low profile road only compounds? Been out of the dual loop for a good 10 years.

>>16247780
On my DR with the 270s, nice pavement, shitty New Mexico/Texas pavement, dry hardpack, gravel, dry riverbed, light to moderate mud (I swear there is no tire in existence good for mud), deep/loose sand, wet-ish dirt (like in your picture), wet pavement. Really, crappie road surfaces are going to feel bad even in a well-modified car with top-end autocross tires.

I'm talking about keeping the supersport for what it is- a supersport- with sport bike tires. And a dirt bike/dual sport for what it is- with dirt bike/dual sport tires (as in NOT putting sport bike tires on your dirt bike).
>How are dualsports treads and compounds better than low profile road only compounds?
Well they hook up about 3 times as well off road. Still not like a knobby but they do fine on road and much better off road than a sport bike tire.

>>16247800
I might have to give them another chance after christmas or something, just that the only problem for me is it's about 100km to any decent offroad area from my house where I wont get shot for trespassing.

That pic was loose sand, some of the rutts and hills are just a good 6-10 inches of soft sand, I run a 150/80R17 meatabortion to get around there, sand is terrible alongside clay. Mud isn't too bad, unless it's solid and shiny.

The key to mud, mostly, is giving the rear wheel arseholes to clear the tread of packed dirt.

No upsides for me, owner of 0 self controls.
I got in a little bit of trouble and had to promise no more 2 wheels for a little while. Frontup at 2krpm no clutch is just silly.

You can have fun on a homemade clutchless lawnmower engine bike. You are just one sad sack.

That looks rather modded.
Rather, a word I rarely use to describe an amount I cannot quantify.

Great

Now you have upset the piano on wheels rider.

Wish I kept the gopro footage of a guy we took riding to the sandpit here;

Poor fucker finally bought a bike after not riding for 10 years and it was geared for supertrap launches.

>thinking euros don't have the dumbest bike opinions on the planet

But you're lucky you have good affordable tracks and established motorsport organizations that let you grow out of them

Over here, nobody bothers with anything but oval because oval is established and racing is a business. Why fix what already makes money just so you can pull in a minority of middle-upper class kiddos who can probably already fly to europe if they want?

>>16248022
if i got passed by that shitbike I would literally drown myself

https://youtu.be/iJbCdq6Ripk?t=367

>>16248022
how can so many people be afraid of carrying speed in a corner when they have bikes that are fucking made for it

>>16248028
They started on leader bikes and rely on the throttle in the straights

>>16248032
>on the straights

>>16248028
>how can people of varying confidence and skill levels exist

I dunno anon, what do you reckon?

>>16248032
nothing stopping them passing on the corner like the GS500, they are just shit riders like most who start on big bikes.

>>16248033
it doesn't matter what americans start on. they just upgrade until they can pass on the straights.

>i've owned a ninja 250 for a year, so i must already be pretty good at cornering. time for an R6!
>i've had this R6 for a week and also crashed it in that time trying to corner. time for a fireblade.

anyone who has a chance at becoming a good rider can start on liter peters and still learn to corner.

>>16248042
Its B+ group, skills are close. Have you ever been to a track day?

>>16248035
>on the straights
>where most people pass

Fuck off you euro fox and the grapes cuck

>>16248045
Learning on a smaller bike advances the skills along better tho, only need a month or two if that, if you practice enough.

Sure, have you?

Because I guarantee in every skill group there will be variations in the speed and confidence of the riders, even in the very fastest group.

>>16248044
>Despite the /o/ meme, literally started on a PW50, then XR80, 200, 250, 500, GSX250 first road bike

My dick was hard every single time my first litrebike when I could control the exit angle with the rear shimmy.

>>16248046
not him but I was
there were mixed everything, from people tracking their track prepped lotus to a dude with an old vw bus n shit

>>16248049
LMAO, sacred of that corner. Where real riders pass.

jump higher mr fox

>>16248049
not him but i've been passed by a dude who did the CSS courses in positions I'd never dream of passing someone in
a great rider will pass you on even the shittiest of corners

>>16248044
They slowed down for safety. Its obvious.
The faggot filming was a dick for blowing through there. It was dangerous and stupid.
If i was a track marshal, i would throw him out.

>>16248051
But you are a faggot from sydney, all pooftahs and SJW so they have to let them in.

Get a real club to do a track day with.
