Live on the Gulf side. Not really as much of an issue.

>>16585268
Just more excuse to take nice motorcycle road trips anon

>>16585297
>Gulf side
>what were Camille, Opal, Katrina, and Erin?
I lived outside of Holt for 12 years. Gulf side gets plenty of fun; safer and cheaper inland though.

>>16585306
But hurricane parties are fun anon.

>>16585311
They are. And having a deep well and a lil generator to keep the fridge and deep freeze cold (and A/C if you spend the $$$ on a nice one) was great, too.

>>16585259
we haven't seen a proper hurricane in years, and it's usually only one or two per season where I live

I won't lie, I don't know much about motorcycles.

I've just finished watching a few motorcycle crash videos, and some of them were just the guys making what seems to be a completely normal turn on a perfectly sunny day and their bikes just fall out from under them

why would that even happen? Are bikes really that unstable?

>>16585330
Post vids for review and analysis.

>>16585330
ppl r rly dumb; even if ur regulur dumb you can keep a bike balanced. those ppl are a special kind of dumb

>>16585330
Usually sand, gravel or some liquid.

>>16585330
Rider error or debris on road (so observation error).

Bikes will kill you if you're not alert or act retarded.

>>16585320
Sadly I'm poor and ain't got nothing fancy like that to worry about

there are all sorts of things you can do to upset a bike the untrained viewer may not be aware of, the two most likely parts to lowside of a corner are.

1. 1/2 way through trailbraking, where balancing braking and turning with the front is the trickiest.

2. at the first touch of the throttle mid corner, it deloads some weight off the front wheel and adds a little more lateral force which can cause it to lose traction.

Both of these might appear to be "nothing" to the casual viewer.

Sometimes however.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BZBjPIIPmU0

It just is what it is, there was some shit on the road (diesel in this case) and off you go.

Diesel is satan's fuel for this reason.

>>16585362
that one's simple, in the middle of rural T intersections a gravel triangle will form as cars do not touch that section, it wears off the road and accumulates there in the middle.

Easy.

>>16585362
That's why you don't drive next to cars

>>16585362
Wow I cant believe that first fucker got up, I thought that truck went over his head

>>16585362
>>16585381
>>16585385


the crash in question is at 7:10

>>16585362
This is why I'm happy to stay under 50mph, if you have to lean a lot and you drive over a diesel slick it's game over

>>16585392
I already gave you a 100% correct answer here

>>16585370

>>16585362
That first one looks like he was on the front brake and then hit a patch of something or that crack and he locked it up, and didn't react in time to not wash out like that.

>>16585392
Definitely hit a patch of gravel.

>>16585398
I know I just wanted them to know which one I was talking about

it's scary that just gravel or gas could do all that

>>16585405
Usually when that happens you can react and save it and just pucker real hard.

>>16585392
Either hit gravel or punched the throttle during a turn, these aren't cars you can't do that shit

>>16585353
I grew up single-wide trailer trash. My folks worked, saved, and made it nicer/more bad-weather tolerant.

also why are most of these crash video compilations russian

>>16585428
I'm happy where I am in life. I have no complaints

>>16584614

Rear tyre puntured by nails on the way home from work 2 nights ago. No riding until next monday when i can get it too a tyre shop.

>>16585490
We speak English here nigger

thumpertalk is down reeeeee

>>16585490
what's a tyre

Does anyone still stall once in a while? I stalled pulling out of a gas station and I've been riding since last April. It was embarrassing as shit. Granted, it was the first time I've stalled since probably last summer but it makes me feel like I'm not really getting any better.

>>16585511
sometimes I forget to shift and I wind up trying to start in 5th or something
that or I turn my engine off with my highbeams on at a light and my battery's too weak to turn the engine over

Anyone ever done HID retrofits on their bike? I'm wanting more light out of my F4i and don't want to do niggershit like pop in a HID or LED bulb into my stock reflector. These kits are pretty cheap and have good reviews but I don't know if I will need any extra supplies. Also do these act as both high and low beam or just low?

>>16585511
I stall my rm250 after riding my drz because using the clutch on a 2stroke is alot different and i am retarded and forget

>>16585511
Sometimes I forget you need to give it a little more gas when it's cold regardless of the RPM.

>tfw clutch might be a little fucked

>>16585366
Don't forget, you won't magically lowside on gravel or diesel as long as you're not riding like a madman

It's a good idea to ride a bike without much in the way of plastics anyways

Are sportbikes cool enough to outweigh their inconvenience?

>>16585787
No, but they are fast enough.

>>16585787
convenient motorcycles don't exist except for sidecars. you can load anything down with bags.

sportbikes just look really dumb loaded down compared to goldwings and dirtbikes with tusk boxes

>>16585792
I don't really care about going fast as long as I have low end power.

Dumb fucking question but

cycle-ergo is pretty cool but what exactly is the ideal riding position? How do I know which is good and which is bad?

>>16586109
Depends on speed and fairing design desu

>>16586114
Okay, for bikes similar to Grom or other weeb looking styles

I feel given the picture I would feel very silly and big on one

>>16586109
different for everyone

>>16586117
The ideal riding position for the grom is getting off and walking towards a better bike

Don't worry, occasional stalls are nothing to worry about after less than a year. Maybe try some slow speed stuff and taking off to get a better feel for your clutch and the coordination with the throttle.

>>16586250
A wet clutch normally behaves a little differently when cold so it'll still happen once in a while

>>16586306
gotta clean the chain very often at all is a meme/myth

if you're that worried why not have an enclosed chain like a scooter?

>>16586306
Cleaning the chain takes 10 minutes tops.
And no, you don't have to. Normally you'd clean it every ~500 miles, if you ride through rain much maybe drop that to 300 miles, and clean it before you put it away for a week or more.

soon to be tall-mc22anon here, finally test rode the thing and turns out my knees weren't actually uncomfortable when i don't wear bitch pants.

now, i intend to use the thing as a commuter alongside my lil scooter, but thing is, it'll probably be handy to have both bikes with storage for emergencies.

so, would i be a dickhead for getting panniers on the cbr and painting/plastidipping (which will be done by professional custom people who are actually good at that shit) and decal-ing them to look the same as the bike? topboxes look sorta lame.

>>16586502
Yes. Get a top box because panniers will interfere with filtering more than you'd like

>>16586508
even some low-profile small storage ones? i don't filter a ton anyway, there's very rarely dense traffic around me.

maybe a topbox and then remove it on occasion for muh aesthetics? sorta defeats the purpose of having emergency storage but hey im a fag

. Dear /dbt/: today at university I met a childhood friend. I learned that He uses Arch Linux and he very clearly is a polack. He didn't recognize me for the first five minutes, and I didn't talk to him during that time because I was looking through my Facebook messenger to find out what his name is because I forgot.

Tl;dr everyone at the polytechnic has contagious autism

The MC22 has decent storage under the seat, you could run a tank bag, or even just a seat bag, but if you need more, Look at Ventura racks and one of their bags. You can remove the top half of the rack super easy and you only have some brackets left, doesnt look too autistic.

I bought mine as a complete headlight but from I researched before buying them you'll need things like a hair dryer or heat gun to remove back of your headlight housing. Some flat head screw drivers, clamps and silicone adhesive for putting it back together, and possibly some metal brackets to mount the projector housing into your headlights. This video is for an R6 but its the same basic principle.

I decided to not go through all that bullshit though and just bought mine already done as I'm positive I would have fucked something up if I tried doing it myself as far as all the wiring stuff goes.

Pretend like you know everything there is to know about motorcycles, like the rest of us. Don't bother buying a bike.

>>16586878
Option 1: buy an overpowered bike that is way out of your skill range, ride it for a bit like the squid you are, then:
a. have a scary experience that makes you soil your pants, never touch a bike ever again.
b. have a scary experience that makes you break your neck, never breath again.
If you survive, spend rest of your time shitposting in /dbt/ like you know all there is to know about bikes.

Option 2: never buy a bike because jesus christ don't you realise how dangerous those things are!?!?!? Then proceed to spend rest of time shitposting in /dbt/ like you know all there is to know about bikes.

OH ok, whenever it's wheel bearings, I just assume BMW.

You are allowed 2mm of wobble in the wheel, which doesn't sound like alot, but will sure feel like it when you grab and wobble it. On the road, do you have a high-speed weave? How many miles on it?

Me, if it's not weaving and not whining, I don't worry, but that's me.

There's Directions here:
www motorcycleinstitute tk suzuki-vs1400-intruder/rear-suspension-and-final-drive.html

Looks like it's tap-it-out and hammer-it-in, with a drift or a big socket or (my fave) a wood block, like the end of a two-by-four. Keeps it going in straight.

If you are really worried, it would be great to measure the runout with a dial guage or at least a ruler against the swingarm.

And yes it is a "cage" although not a full cage that a XxStunter_420xX would use, just a better alternative to frame sliders. It has saved my bike from a great deal of damage twice now so I'm going to leave it on :3 There are delrin pucks on the ends of the cage so it acts the same as frame sliders just keeps the bike off the ground more preventing more damage. 10/10 would buy again.

I can't get a picture of it but I bought the elbow at Canuckistan Tire. I used a grinder (but a hacksaw would also work) and cut four slots about 1 inch down.

Use a hammer and a thinner pipe or wooden handle (I used a broom handle) slowly tap down the four petals.

I used the stock band clamp and exhaust gasket and placed the new tip so it was pointing down so rain won't drip in.

They will last 20,000km. I only put on ~8,000km last year. I bought the bike in June and set it to hibernate on November 24th. I didn't really want to be stuck with them for another entire riding season.

I'm bringing the bike out of long term storage in the beginning of March and thinking of putting the new rubber on in April or May. Going to get back in the groove of things before burning the best part of the virgin rubber.

2007 Yamaha R6 right now, planning to sell it next month and get something newer.

Can't go wrong with Honda drivetrains. If I had a scooter Honda would be first on my list.

Checks out.

>>16588515
what about hondas?

Looks pleasantly clean. If removing the mixture screws I like to do it over a large tray in case o-rings and flat washers on some screws fall out. If they don't fall out, I bend a very small hook in the end of a paperclip then cut off the excess. Hook is about the size of this capital J.

Of course not all have washers. Fun trick is measure O-rings with muh Harbor Freight Pittsburgh digital caliper and buy in bulk for next to nothing off Ebay. Always buy Viton for fuel resistance.

What would y'all prefer, and sv1000/650 or an fz6

Anyone expecting some new exciting tire around the corner?
I'll need a new set soon and have my eye on the M7RR, which appears to be great for me (good all-round performance, not sacrificing much in any category).
It's just that it's a 2014 tire, so if there is something on the Horizon that does the same thing but better, I'd rather have that of course.

Only European bikes are safe from faggotry.

>>16588582
riding bikes isn't logical at all

just think of dat V2

>>16588601
Well then I'm sure she is a very intelligent lady.

>>16588605
True. What mods would it even need?

>>16588598
I got like 2500 out of mine. Not sure what your idea of good is though. Good for something pretty sticky I guess.

>>16588635
Some suspension fuckery probably.
I'd just go to a shop and tell them to do the works for me specifically.

>>16588635
Suspension

>>16588640
>>16588644
Honestly, and this is what I learned with my Ford, you need to experience what is like stock before upgrading to truly understand what needs to be improved

Best value used post-125cc bike? Still not a great rider but would like to be able to go above 40 without thrashing it

>>16588598
They're a bit too track-focused - not enough wet weather reserves and long-ish warm-up times are a bit of a dealbreaker, I want to have that flexibility.

>>16588669
Sv650

>>16588669

Used Ninja 300.

Is the jump in power gonna kill me if I've got no talent, or does the displacement not mean so much as that?

I have a Husqvarna CR250 ´00 and I need new clutch discs.

>>16588787
Sv650 a good
t. Superior italian v-twin

It's touring cousin, the v-strom is another sound choice
If you are really bad and want something with less throttle response than the queen of england there's also the er-6
