>rides right into clearly visible sand
It is his fault, if he knew that when you hit a pile of sand that size you're probably going drop your bike. He should have slowed way down, maybe put his feet down for stability. If I rode full speed into a beach and dumped it would it be my fault for inevitably crashing?

Part of being a good rider is knowing the bikes limits. If you see a mound of sand, do not drive into it.

I must remind anons that the valve adjustment interval on HD's is never.

>>16544777
because the bike will run like shit no matter how in spec the valves are?

>>16544800
No matter what you want to say, virtually every metric bike whether its sport or cruiser have a valve service interval where you have to take the top of the motor apart and replace or adjust things. It's time consuming if you do it, or expensive for a shop to do it.

HD's run how they run, valve stuff you just don't have to worry about with them.

I'm not sure if the new streets are the same way, I would hope that they were.

I painted my bike myself and it looks great. It's all about how much time and effort you put into prep and finish, and the quality of paint you use. Spraycan is fine if you're not using the shit you buy at the hardware store.

color-rite sells good quality OEM color matching paint and has good tutorials and directions on how to use it to get a good finish. follow the fuckin directions.

>>16544824
theyre called hydraulic lifters and are used on harleys because they cant rev for shit. any bike with a redline higher than your average family sedan will not have them

>>16544824
It's literally inherent to a four stroke motor, have you overhead cams or pushrods. Harleys HAVE TOP-END SERVICE INTERVALS.

Wheoever told you that is a nigger about bike maintenance. Harley's moronic narrow V angle engines being designed to chug, lug, shake, and stutter probably doesn't help the illusion that you don't need top end service, since such things are the uneducated man's way of guessing "well i guess she needs er carbs synced and dem dere vavles adjusted".

until your bike no longer starts

>>16544873
>doesn't get it

harleys dont need valve adjustments, ever. they have hydraulic lifters. self-clearancing, just like most cars.

>>16544867
>>16544873
CB750s also have hydraulic valve lifters and a reputation for running well for extended periods

>>16544888
The newer Nighthawks do, older ones don't though

>>16544881
The lifters just fail and need to be replaced entirely

>>16544867
There are plenty of low reving OHC jap cruisers that don't have them, and consequently have valve adjustment intervals.

>>16544930
that's cool but i don't see how that is at all related to OHV bikes

>>16544930
(high revs --> no hydraulic) -/-> (~high revs --> hydraulic)

>>16544936
The point was made that high reving bikes wouldn't use the hydraulic lifter/pushrod system like HD does. My point was that there are plenty of other low reving bikes that don't use them, and have service intervals for valves as a result.

My point being that the anons original assertion that they looked easy to work on is part ways true. You don't have to do valve adjustments. Change oil and filter, change plugs (really easy to get to), change air filter (also really easy to get to).

>>16544957
>The point was made that high reving bikes wouldn't use the hydraulic lifter/pushrod system like HD does. My point was that there are plenty of other low reving bikes that don't use them, and have service intervals for valves as a result.

Still not seeing the relevance... HD uses hydraulic lifters because they can. Doesn't mean everybody has to.

>>16544973
Exactly my point. HD's system eliminates one of the major services that other bikes have to worry about.

>>16545466
OK but how much more often? Like I change it now at 3000.
I'm not sayin I hit the streets as hard as a track but how often do you change the oil in a track bike?

>>16545466
I am the harley defender. I wouldn't own one, but I ride with plenty that do, and they're not any better or worse than any other air cooled twin out there. They have their good and bad just the same as anything else.

I just hate when the group gets stuck and the overheats begin. Although sitting on the shoulder people watching while they cool down and the traffic crawls past can be interesting.

>>16545483
Since I only get my track bike out about once a month, every track day gets new oil. After track it goes in my truck then garage. So probably 200-300 miles on a change at most for that bike.
But it seems like you're just talking about street riding, 3k is probably just fine honestly. Don't waste your money on it.

>>16545483
>3000

With synthetic and a good filter? You're wasting oil.

>>16545498
We're talking probably 20 minutes sitting still or just crawling >5mph on a 95F day. It taxes the water cooled stuff in the group too, but they can stay running.

>>16545491
Oh don't get me wrong, nothing against the bikes themselves.

>laterally mounted, one cyllinder behind the other
>cyllinders really close together, nearly inline because of the narrow V angle

Yeah. If I had to own a harley and was only allowed one mod, it would be a really fucking big oil cooler.

>>16545514
And no, we're in a place where we can't lane split.

>>16545514

>>16545397
It's pretty bad. The only thing it has going for it is reliability

>>16545536
It's also not reliability like "i thrashed this motherfucker, did 10k oil changes, and forgot what the air filter looked like, and have never done a valve adjustment" soviet/honda reliability

It's "treat it well and nothing will go wrong" AR15/BMW reliability

>>16545516
IMO There is no "better". The best bike is the one you own the keys to.

And dedicated dirt bikes are better in every other measure than the DRZ. If reliability was of utmost importance the DR or XRL have it over the DRZ easily. The old XR400 is a much more well rounded bike than the DRZ

I have a Ninja ex250 and Im looking at upgrading. I want something a little bigger with upright seating that I can haul around my thicc wife on. Is the Nighthawk 750 a good bike? Any other suggestions?

I'm talking about the dickhead culture that is proliferant amongst Harley riders. They all think they are gods on two wheels and that if it ain't a Harley it's shit. None of them wave at me on the road which further proves to me that they think less of non-Harley riders.

Give the XR400 or XR640R a subframe strong enough to carry a full luggage container, emissions equipment to meet street standards, street-worthy lighting including turn signals, a battery, electric start and battery, passenger pegs, an instrument cluster, handlebar switches, etc. and it will gain a lot of weight. Enough to put the 400 in the same ball park as the DRZ and the 650 way overboard.

>>16545973
Dedicated dirt bikes don't really come with much extra shit to weigh them down like street bikes. They're pretty bare bones so you can't really remove a whole lot.

XRR has no E start, no signals, no brake light no battery and the 650 has a weak aluminum subframe that cannot handle a full luggage load

the xr650L however is e start, street legal and has a steel subframe

There is some serious /r9k/ tier autistic screeching going on here. Its not even shit posting.

Shaking my head to be honest with you family.
