/dbt/ I just had a close call. I have a 2016 Yamaha xtz 125E, which is a off road looking street bike. I've bought it to built credit. This is the only reason, so please spare me from too much criticism.

At first it was a blast, the it became real dull really fast because, well, it's a 10hp bike which tops at 100km/h, taking up to 30 seconds to reach it. When I learn to rev match it became a blast again. It's been 5 months now. I'm trying new stuff, and the most fun stuff is leaning. I know you're not suppose to lean the same way as a sport bike, but I thought "since I'm a beginner and a real chicken, I don't think I'll reach the bike or the tires limit any soon".

This whole tale was to you tell this: I've just washed the bike. Using water, neutral soap and some multi surface cleaning for the plastic bits and mirror. I've used soap on the tires too. After that, I went for a ride. Today is Sunday, so there isn't much cars on the streets. There's these two corners that I specially like. One is about 150 meters that I can take at about 60 to 70 km/h, maybe more if I weren't being safe about the possibility of cars ahead. The other is a 90 degree, which I can take at about 50 to 60 km/h. Both are inclined upwards, with the second being a little more drastic. On the second one, at about 55km/h, my front tire slipped. I've training my reflexes to not roll off the throttle when losing control, so I took back control on the bike after sliding.

What do you think could've caused this? I went back to inspect the asphalt and there isn't any oil spots, although there's some bits where it's a little darker then the others. Pic related is my tire, only 5400 km.

I honestly have no idea how that works here in germany, I think the bike only needs lights, (+indicators and brake lights), mirrors, and needs to meet emissions testing, and a friend told me there were kits to make motocross bikes legal, but I have no idea really

He's nine. It's actually not as bad as it sounds, he doesn't have cerebral palsy or anything, it's just a motor developmental delay that he will mostly overcome as he grows older.

Enough power in reserve to get out of a hairy situation. The ninja 250 just doesn't have it. That doesn't mean it's a bad bike but if you want to have a small bike and still be genuinely safe on the highway get a 300. It has just enough extra power to be a capable highway bike.

>>16340164
Yeah that's fair, the ninja 250 doesn't have any oomf or pull past 80, the top speed is there, but the power is not.

So fucking what, it was 36 when I rolled out this morning. Topped out at about 42 while I was out.

>>16340164
On a highway, you're doing 100 kph, 120 tops. Acceleration at 120 really slows down, but you've still got an extra 20 kph to play around with. "enough power to get out of a hairy situation" is pretty vague wording.

The only reason not to have a 250 on a highway is vibrations. And that's just a comfort issue and can mostly be fixed with thicker gloves and properly pumped tires.

But why are you rebuilding the engine when it's completely fine? Shouldn't you instead be spending the money on all the fucked up shit on your chassis? Or saving for the 701 you're buying? Why not get a new frame with a clean title so you don't have the liability of a fake VIN?

Also you should probably send your head to a professional to get new valve seats cut instead of just slapping new valves on a worn head.
IIRC you need to get the cases machined to fit the ACT gears as well.

Guzzis are excellent police bikes because reliable and torquey, not some "falling down mountains" boolshite. Dry clutch is nice in traffic and that large starter motor works very well.

They even replaced CHP Harleys for some years until they were replaced by even better Kawasaki KZ police editions.

I don't care for Italian motorcycle "engineering" but I make an exception for the large Guzzis. Nice ride, GuzziAnon!

It had about 35k miles on it and was burning a lot of oil before it got stolen and thrashed by a basketball american for three months. I was planning on buying a new engine and building that then swapping it already before it got stolen.
>Shouldn't you instead be spending the money on all the fucked up shit on your chassis?
I will, but I'm going to go through it from the inside out, tear down to the frame, clean, fix or replace everything.
>Or saving for the 701 you're buying?
I'm doing that too.

I'm reading about that right now, making me want to go back to my original plan of just having a shop rebuild the motor with power parts.

I've got the signals working and the brake levers are fine, but the crack isn't too major. I'm fine with reupholstering it and replacing the brake lens. But I don't even have a hammer to pop the tank out.

I feel kinda trapped because I'm gonna get fuck all for the bike, and most of the bikes I want are pretty expensive for me right now. I'd expect $1k max in the current condition, but if I could fix the rest of the damage, I'd be able to advertise it at $2k and haggle in the spring.

My price range with selling the bike should be about 1-3k before spring. I definitely want to get a standard or sport-standard. Though I do also like the idea of off roading as well. But I don't know if I like it enough to buy a bike.
I've got a plan to go off roading with a buddy's DR this summer and I'll know for sure whether I'll have two bikes and a winter beater after college.

I'm really looking at a cb600f, but they're almost always really far away, or above 4 grand. Bandits, Katanas are definitely on the table as well. Don't want to do a Ninja 500/600, because I've already done a Ninja.
I would a 650 as well, since insurance only goes by size and value. So if I get a bike that isn't worth money, and is 600ccs, I'd be totally happy. And that's why I'm looking at Katanas and Hornets and Bandits.

>>16341660
If youre not dead set on newer bikes then consider getting a CB650 or CB750.
Still easy to get parts for and are plenty fast.
I usually find them for $1000 to $1500 in good condition

>>16341542
Srsly a clean DR-Z frame is like $150. If you're spending $3k+ on a full rebuild why not just spare a little more for a clean frame? Anyone with motorcycle experience knows all modern bikes have the VIN engraved in the frame instead of on a plate stuck to the frame. You would be fucked if a cop realized that or if the niggers did and just broke off the fake VIN plate.

You are uninformed.

When my bike was totaled two years ago I went looking for a new frame. A clean street legal frame is over $1000. A dirt bike frame with no title is $200, which is what I bought.

I removed the VIN plate from the new frame, sanded the VIN underneath it off, powder coated it, stamped my old VIN in place and then put my VIN plate over it. The plate is my original VIN plate, the VIN stamped into the frame underneath it is my original VIN, all DRZ frames have a VIN plate in that spot.

I just got the altrider skid plate and the outback motortek bars but waiting for them to show up in the mail.

Was thinking of getting these Pirelli Scorpion Rally STRs when they drop next year.

What set up do you have for tires?

>>16341774
Low KM.
As long as they took care of it, it should run a long time.
I had a 1979 cb650. Easily do 120mph+ cruising down the freeway. And always felt rock solid.
Enjoyable bike.

Americans are alright, got lots of American friends. But they can come up to Muskoka and we can ride some amazing roads there.

Niceee, I have heard good things about the shinkos for the dirt. I don't have a shit ton of dirt experience so im keeping it mellow till I get that crash protection on.

Any other upgrades planned?

>>16341791
I think I will send him an email. Ask if he still has it.

>tfw still haven't gotten out on the new tire.
not really, i just need to figure out a good airdam for the front of the tank. if you get buffeting on yours try covering the gaps between the bars and front of the tank.
only other stuff i have planned now is a respring and to swap the top case for a luggage plate which i have sitting here already.
as for tires get an aggressive front first if its a money thing. the bike is a ton of fun to run down dirt roads with the back tire sliding around, its pretty forgiving if you get a little too giddy on the gas too

>can't find my box wrenches and hex keys
>literally the only tools I have except for a bit driver and bits

What the fuck.

I could feel the front end wash a bit on the gravel and having to steer with the rear end. The traction control works pretty well on 1 and lets the rear end get loose without me crashing lol.

The only other thing I bought was the perfect squeeze mount and it works pretty well.

How do you like that windscreen?

Not wanting an AR-15. Are you some sort of fucking cuck? Even Italians love them.
>weed legal incoming
We did it first tho
>people aren't shit
Literally what. Canadians are like retarded Americans from an irrelevant country. Couldn't be any worse.
>Snow motherfucker
Fun fact: we have that here too.
>Economy still gud over here
But ours actually factors into the world.
>Don't like trump at all
You really are a trash person
>lost to a bunch of farmers with pits, caves, and rocks
Our kill count was more than 3x as much tho mane. They just didn't want to feel the freedom™

Also anything done under Nixon's shit-tier administration can be expressly written as unamerican and disgusting. He may have ran as a republican, but that man was absolute trash.

way taller than i need but its great in the rain since i can hike it up to keep the rain off my helmet entirely.
the TC bugged the shit out of me i keep it off all the time and usually leave the rear abs off too if i remember to hit it before i get rolling.
id junk those handguards asap though get something that will do something other than block a breeze. barkbusters is selling a direct fit kit to match the dampeners and bar threads

Are the sena SMH5-FM or SPH10-FM any good, i want to get something with a radio for longer rides

>>16341952
I don't know about those but I have the non-radio intercom SMH10 and the controls/software are buggy and annoying af. Also the battery life dropped considerably over the last 2 years and it constantly has trouble pairing

>>16341890
I know, I already have one and can't find it.

>>16341900
thanks bae

>>16341958
I had an BAKA-10 and now a 20S and they're wonderful. Never had any software issues with either. Battery life dropped to about 7 hours of music playback after a couple months but never got much worse.

>>16341972
how does it feel to be 3bike now? or 4bike?

you still going to get a 701?

>>16341686
Just about anyone will tell you a dirt bike is more fun.

>>16341978
I sold the GL last week, so 3 bike, KX250, EX250 and DRZ400.
Still planning on getting the 701. What I want to do now is get the DRZ running then sell the Ninja and KX before I get the 701.

>>16341999
what all do you need to do to get the DRZ running? and what is the status of your farkles?

>>16342010
I just went a gave it a once over. Looks like it's been dumped several times. Headlight and shroud are smashed, there's at least one plug in the rear tire, curb rash on both wheels, one of my mirrors was ripped off (and they put another one on for some reason) and the gas tank is empty. I'm gunna go buy a gas can tomorrow, it's possible that's the only reason it wouldn't start at the impound.

>>16342028
fuck man. no way you can collect damages or anything is there?

>>16341905
You have a link for the barkbusters?

How do you all feel about riding your bikes in the snow? I wanto do it but it's cold and I'm afraid of death?

If you're actually riding in the snow you'll need knobbies, if it's deep heavy snow it'll suck.
If it's snowing, but you actually mean on plowed roads you'll be fine. Unless plowed means a 1/4" of hard packed snow that's practically ice, in which case you need studs/ice spikes or yeah u gunna die.

Of course you're not actually going to just fall off your bike at 20mph and die instantly, but trying to keep up with the flow of traffic on icy roads is dangerous.

>kawasaki
The most unremarkable manufacturer. Doesn't win races, doesn't make garbage. It's basically off-brand. Suzuki wannabe.
>honda
Used to be good, just sells cuckold trash in addition to releasing the same sportbikes year after year. Has a tendency to terminate or ruin their good bikes, because they only make a quality bike to sell it at a loss for a couple of years and improve their image after a decade or so of stagnation and bad products. I'm betting on the fireblade becoming fucking amazing in the future just so they can cut the product five years later and replace it and the VFR1200 with a DCT-equipped sports tourer.
>Suzuki
Kawasaki but with more street cred
>Yamaha
Wins races, prices fairly, constantly looks forward and fully understands their market. Yamaha is what you wish honda was.
>buell
So pretentious they canceled the blast and swore to never make another bike like it even though shitbike sales could have helped them increase volume and lower prices to move more sportbikes. Dead in the water. Will never amount to anything, ever.
>BMW
Honda desperately wants to be this.
>KTM
don't buy a dirtbike if it doesn't say "KTM" or "husqvarna" on the side if you mean any sort of business
