How many of you park your bike right up next to the store when you go shopping? Like, on the sidewalk, rather than in the lot?

>>16537200
depends on the place

>>16537200
sometimes

>>16537200
Depends, at one store I parked it next to the door, others I park a few meters away because it blocks the sidewalk otherwise.

I want to add some off-road lights on my bike and need to have an easy-to-reach switch to turn them off for traffic. What's the best way to fit an accessory switch on my bike with little room on the handebars?

>>16537323
Wire the new lights to the high beam

Any of you ride track and go by yourself ever? I have a 2016 ram 1500 and a cbr 929rr.

I need a recommendation for what ramp to use because that fucker is heavy and I'm otherwise strong. I had to have a friend help me load it because I was afraid of dropping with our shitty ATV lawnmower ramp.

Willing to spend a little bit of cash for it too. Advice also for best method to get it up. Getting it down isn't too bad alone....

>>16537414
I've wired up my other bike fine so I can do it non-ghetto but I don't really want switches on the shrouds. Mite just get one of those really narrow switch panels like you have on your handlebar and clamp it on the middle under the crossbrace.

>>16537467
I suppose you could just take a thin aluminum bar and mount it to the clamps like where my key is located. Plenty of room for more switches in case you want to add more things later.

>>16537323

I did but still doesn't open up much room where I want it. I want the controls up near the grips but it starts the curve down to the clamp area pretty much right after the lever perch.

>>16537543
I would rather not try to make my own mount because I've tried that before and I always make it very ugly and barely functional.

>>16537564
You should make me one of those like you did for your DRZ with the mount for the trail tech dash, the key switch, and an additional accessory switch

>>16537389
Not exactly a perfect solution but when I needed to load a bike by myself I would back the rear wheels of the truck into a low spot (my old house had a ditch in the front yard) so the tailgate was only a foot or so off the ground.

>>16538636
You would definitely know if they needed cleaning. Some day, probably a while from now, it will just run like ass, and that day you will know it is time, then go buy a bucket, a bottle of Pine-Sol, a can of carb cleaner and a virgin lamb.

>>16538593
letting it idle is the most stupid thing you can do and everyone advises you not to. Only harley riders do this. Idling is bad for warming up, riding under light load is the most effective way.

Proper way.

It certainly depends on the circumstances. One of my bikes has a weird clutch that won't disengage fully unless the oil is at operating temperature.

>>16538690
>try doing that
>bike runs like ass until it fully warms up, sputters/chokes and stutters

>>16538776
you should clean your carbs if that happens

>>16538769
had this too on some 70/80s bikes where the clutch is "stuck" even if you clutch in
Before you start the bike put it into first, clutch in and rock back and forth until it disengages, That should do the trick.

Gotta get those 90 degree stems. Any tire shop can put them on and they usually won't charge you if they're changing your tire anyway.

>>16538823
and you think this is normal behavior because it's carbed and just cold?
take that shit to a mechanic, even 40yo shit bikes don't behave like this.

Efi works better, with less maintenance.
Carbs need cleaning and adjusting
Efi is more efficient and allows for more power.

I made a ramp for my truck out of thick plywood and 2x4s for support in the middle. Glued it all together and it fits in the bed with the bike

Do you just ride it up or do you walk it up with your hand on the throttle?

>>16539085

But efi is better, whether you prefer one over the other.

>>16539102
Who cares when they both work just fine?

>>16539079
good luck pal. I just would ask the seller for a hand.

>>16539097
Always have both feet on ground and slip the clutch to get it up the ramp. Same in reverse just with the front brake.
Get a wide enough ramp to put your feet down.
Make sure it's 100% in place.

>>16539097
I sit on the bike but walk it up with my feet on the ground. Just using steady throttle and modulating the clutch.
don't forget ratchet straps to keep the bike in place.

>>16539106
Work just fine, sure.
That doesn't change the fact that one is objectively better than the other.
That was the whole premise of my argument.

>>16538836
>>16538849
>>16538853
>>16538863
No I'm not saying this has anything to do with carbs. This is a response to anon saying you shouldn't warm your bike up at idle before you ride.

The clutch plates may be worn but I think this is just the way these bikes are. I've ridden several like it and they all behave the same way. The clutch barely works when cold but once the oil gets hot it works perfectly.
Also it's a racing dirt bike designed to run well at high temperatures not a commuter shitbike made to be practical and work well even as it warms up.

>>16539123
Ok.
Who cares?
Not all bikes are efi
Get over it

>you shouldn't warm your bike up at idle before you ride
that was never said, I said you warm it up by riding.

Also it doesn't make any sense to come with your racing dirt bike to a general discussion and making everyone think your bike is a broken pos, please fuck off.

>>16539125
Uh what bike are we talking about specifically? I can't imagine a manufacturer allowing this sort of issue.

>>16539130
>Get over it.
Over what exactly? I don't care that carbed bikes are made and ridden.
I just prefer efi because it is superior.
You can like carbs all you want, that doesn't make them better.

>Putting a tune on a commander is hard
And I've never had an issue with efi needing repair, literally hundreds of thousands of miles and not a problem.
Carbs would have needed quite a bit of work in this amount of time.

Ok

I want a vid of me dicking around on the bike but I'm not into buying another camera. Noticed I fit my phone inside my visor against my face and still have good visibility, while getting a surprisingly legit POV shot. Problem is the contact to the touchscreen fucks up the recording. I tried blanketing the screen in a cloth but for some reason it doesn't help. What would you do?

It's not allowed. Bikes are two wheeled cars because like hell you're going to have an advantage over all the idiots who thought they would need F350s but only use the bed once a century

The last time someone did it they had their bike impounded because it was "disrespectful" to pedestrians, even though it was way out of the way and a skinny stripped down/ratted out DRZ400 that could fit in a bicycle rack (they don't like that either. they REALLY don't like that. muh incentivizing greenness even though this isn't cali and we don't have a smog problem)

>>16540198
Spotted the chain overtightener. Dirt bikes need lots of chain slack because tension changes as the suspension travels.

>>16540205
the reason it would wear like that is because the chain links/pins wear (not because of dirt, they're sealed with an o ring) making the chain "stretch." Since the links are slightly further spaced now it puts more force and friction on the ends of the teeth as it passes over the sprocket rather than the middle and causes the hook wear pattern

By selling more bikes, which they do.

You don't buy a Harley because they're inherently better than a Japanese bike, you buy one because you want one and they're cool.

Dirt bike fags > .................sportbike fags

It's not even the bikes, it's the attitude behind the rider. Dirt bike riders are pleasant folks. Like young unrefined adv riders.
Sportbike riders are all bro tier dbags. Or niggers. Eww

Sportbike riders can make friends with just about anybody just by rolling up to a stoplight so they take the internet less seriously. If you're a dick, it's alright, because you always have real life!

Cruiser riders can only talk to people other than homos, meth dealers, retirees, and mexicans when they're far away from their bike, so they're lonelier and treasure their time here on 4chan more.

Some fat guy looking for the nearest Cracker Barrel he can steer his Goldwing to is still better than a sportbike fag. Sorry about your autism.
