why the fuck do my handlbars have such a stupid angle to them?
>pulled back towards rider
>angled down like some sort of clip ons

It's not a sporty bike. But my wrists hurt.
Who could these ergonomics be designed for?
Are my elbows supposed to fold into my kidneys or something?

>>16475055
what bike?

also, you can loosen the clamps and adjust it as you please

>>16475057
bandit 1200
Already did that, but it doesn't help. Think about a swept back bar, rotating it down only pushes the bar down towards the tank, but doesn't change the strange wrist angle.

If you had a wide cruiser bar, sweep back makes sense because your forearms reach out from your torso to grab the wide bars. But with normal bandit bars, your forearms are paralell to the centerline of the bike. But your wrists have to angle outwards to grip the bars.

I've got almost all the fuel lines off. I have to figure out how to take the throttle cables off now. Then the carbs are getting a pine Sol soak.

>>16475072
yeah it does

just take it to the extreme, imagine angling your bars back 45 degrees but they are still the same width as the bike. Your wrists are forced to point outwards.

Anyway handlebars are piss easy to change, it's no biggie. Just strange factory ergonomics, I don't understand how they settled on that design.

>>16475095
Does it have the little bead ends? Hope so; that's easy if you can get a wrench/wrenches on the little adjustment nuts.

>>16475100
Yeah it does. Good idea, I'll just back them out. Any advice on rebuilding cv carbs?

A question about fuel reserve....so if I understand what the Ninja FAQ says, when you turn the petcock from normal to reserve all it does is lower the pickup tube further down into the tank.
If this is the case, why is it necessary to have this setup? Couldn't they just make the fuel pickup extend further down by default?
Pic related.

>>16475170
Because bikes generally didn't have fuel gauges, so when you ran out of fuel in the "on" position, you still had some reserve fuel to get you a fuel station.

I mean, living so close to the Alps does have it's merits, apart from being unable to ride your motorcycle from november through march

well, when you don't have a reserve, once your petrol runs out you're proper fucked. If you're fuel runs out and you know you have another 60 or 70 kms of range, you can use that to find a petrol station

those older BMWs are such a good buy right now. they are all over craigslist being sold in the low 4s and most of them are in absolutely mint condition. even back in the early 2000s, bmw was rocking heated grips and ABS before the stupid japs even knew what that shit was.

I'm only A1 license so it's the maximum engine size I am allowed to ride.

why would it? i think the bigger problem would be the weight, 125s don't have a lot of luggage capabilities

>>16475513
If you have to keep a 125 at 80 percent of maximum revs then your odds of blowing the motor are high

then just don't ride at 80 percent of it's load. modern 125s can reach 130 km/h, so putting around at 90 or 100 will be just enough

If you track a vehicle, of any kind, you're putting extreme loads on the engine.

>>16475528
Wouldn't be bad. Depends on the 125. It'll be buzzy as all fuck but could be fun.

>>16475535
Hes right though.

Way too much.

Helmet - <100 for full-faced helmet for a starter (My HJC-16 held up fine when I got t-boned)
Jacket - get two. I got a used leather jacket that is my go-to cold weather jacket for $35. You can get a three-season hi-viz jacket on sale for about 100 if you look.
Pants - 100 is probably right, maybe less on sale
Boots - 100
Gloves - I got gauntlet gloves for $20 at a bike show, regular gloves for $30 and liners for 10

Especially if this is your first, and possibly your last if you end up not liking to ride, look for bargains and sales.

>>16475899

So, I'm a poor cunt, and I'd like to get into bikes. I've worked on bikes a bit before, and I live in the US. I decided that my budget would be pretty low, at 1500. I don't wont to buy a sportbike, I'd like to get a standard (or something similar). My question is this: is it okay to get a bike made in the 80's/90's? My main issue with the budget is that I don't know how reliant old bikes are, I know they're a bit easier (not always) to work on than some newer ones, but I'm just worried that I'll have to be fixing mine constantly if it's some 86. Opinions and thoughts?

Payed about 3.9k USD (4.6k AUD for baik, 500 AUD gear) for new 250 bike and basic gear (gloves, jacket, helmet).
Should be similar range in the U.S for a Ninja 300 a year out.
RC390 is what I wanted, but it's so recent there were no second hand models in my price range that weren't dropped or half-wrecked.
Ninja 300 is a decent choice, just be wary of the Kawa clutch and the surprisingly sudden powerband (~8.5k you'll feel it).

Car drivers are universally disrespectful of motorcyclists and don't understand that motorcycles are not cars, while happily driving with less than a door's worth of width between each vehicle when around other cars and muscling their way through lanes because "that's just how traffic works, i can't make the lanes wider and less crowded"

>>16476074

>>16476074
Did you record how many turns it took to tighten each adjustment screw down all the way before taking the carb apart so you could replicate the old settings? Because it sounds like it's running way too fucking rich when you try to start it. Insufficient air for continued combustion.

Have you considered switching to superior FI?

a lot of, if not most people could start on a 600 and learn to ride safely and quickly within the limits of the law on public roads.

but it's bad general advice because of that segment of people who would run straight off the curb, and bad advice for boyracers who want to learn to be better boyracers because practicing dragging your knee while cornering in the powerband of a 600 isn't the wisest thing you could do
