First

Just wanna give another "fuck you" to Ontario insurance rates.

>>16619787
HORY SHET I live in a socio-capitalist hellhole where motorcycles are only regarded as toys and I paid 800€ for the first year of my motorcycle insurance (mandatory only). 2005 GSX-R sevenfiddy. Now with premiums it's come down to 350€.

>>16619793
191/month for my drz mememobile, not fun.

>>16619793
isn't this because ontario requires $1 million coverage or something?

>>16619793
why don't you just move away?

>>16619777
what's up with that extra reflector right by the headlight?

>>16619670
Told you the charger was fucked.
Just get a new battery and a battery tender and don't leave your lights on next time

>>16619643
Yeah it shouldnt be a yuge deal, but for future reference they're a couple cents online and you can buy them in packs of like 30 so you can always have them on hand from now on.
I wouldnt worry about it this time though, just put it back in.
Also a tip for your oil filter, stab a screwdriver thru it and use it for leverage to get the filter off.
Sometimes they're a pain to get off with channel locks

Where are all you UK people then? I am in North Yorkshire.

>>16619854
What years is the ybr?

>>16619851
Are you a farmer? Isn't that where Richard Hammond lives? Do you know him?

>>16619828
Wait, do US insurance policies have different maximum coverage from state to state?

>>16619906
Sorry, meant to say 'US/Canada'.

>>16619906
different insurance laws cause price differences from state to state, at least in the US. For example, Michigan has no-faullt insurance laws, which means rates are fucking stupidly high.

>>16619821

Feels average, man. Could be worse, I guess. However, from the quotes I've had, it doesn't seem like those 5 years make any difference at all.

>>16620098
It depends.

A weekend rider, a road tripper, and a commuter all need different shit. Anyone with basic planning skills should be able to figure it out for themselves. Just get some pelican cases if you need more storage, and make sure you can fit a bungee net on the passenger seat

Also backpack strapped to seat > backpack on back

I always bring water, a disk lock and a bungee net in my top case, which also fits my helmet.
On small nice weather days I also have my proper camera, gopro and work clothes with me.

hows this for a first bike? old enough that maintenance should be simple-ish (and this bike will probably need a whole shitload of maintenance) and cheap enough that there's room in the budget for parts for said maintenance.

thoughts? im just looking for something to be sorta sporty, cheap, fun, easy to work on, and above all free to park at school

Will consider used if I can actually find one.

>>16620226
DRZ 400

>>16620226
good luck finding one of those used. just get a WR250R, it's a better bike anyway

Went to Ocotillo Wells SVRA this weekend with buddies

We are all newbs on dirt- come from cars and road bikes; but man is the rugged terrain fun! definitely looking into the new CRF Rally

I should learn to aim my GoPro better...

Makes the same as a 600cc sports bike but fat.

not really, it only makes 105 hp. 600cc's make like 20% more and weigh less.

never understood the SSS for the VFR..

>>16620502

Because Honda has a sick sense of humor.

>Hey guys, everyone wants a taste of our V4, so let's make one with VTEC for some reason, and let's put them on really heavy, expensive, luxury-oriented bikes to satisfy them.

Some days ago I posted this shot of my exhaust, expressing concern about a probable blown head gasket. When pic related happened, the spark plugs were badly fouled and what you see is the second just after I let go of the gas, so no mixture should be sprayed in the crankcase at that moment (hence hinting coolant leak in the cylinder). The mechanic recarburated the bike and says it runs fine to him. If the smoke is gone with recarburation and new spark plugs, what could the white smoke (coming from only one of the two cylinders) be?

Dr is best dual sport until you convert an XRR

>>16621955

Sorry but the WRR exists.

>>16620953
Have a nice chat with my gf. Maybe some spicy pictures come in play.
Sadly we can't be together that day.

>>16621955
The DR doesn't do anything better in the dual sport role than a DRZ, WRR, or XRL

>>16621860
Sounds like a BMW to me

>>16622093
>drz

>wrr
more power, better seat time ergos, less maint, lives longer
>xrl
more power, shorter for manlets, much better cooling

>>16622139
>more power
DR has power in the same neighborhood as the rest of the bikes mentioned. Right around 30whp. Not enough delta to make any difference while dual sport riding.

>seat ergos
subjective and everyone that adventures on a bike tailors a bikes ergos to fit them anyway. Subjective and irrelevant.

>less maintenance
WRR has 3000 mile oil changes and 26,000 mile valve checks.
The DR has 3500 mile oil changes and needs valve checks every 6000 miles.
Even the DRZ has less maintenance with 3500 mile oil changes and 16,000 mile valve checks.
DR a shit.

>lives longer
Bullshit.
WRR and XRL are both proven easily 100,000+ mile bikes
DRZ might make it to 15,000 miles before seizing up but that doesn't have any bearing on the other two bikes.

>much better cooling
XRL doesnt overheat and the other bikes have superior water cooling. This is not a valid point.

>shorter for manlets
No one cares about manlets.
The DR has a low seat because it has shit ground clearance and has garbage suspension and only like 8" of suspension travel. Total shit.

>>16622215
>>much better cooling
>XRL doesnt overheat and the other bikes have superior water cooling. This is not a valid point.
i wasnt talking about the others, the xrl does have heat problems in the bush since honda omitted the oil cooler that the 400 got for some reason.

>horsepower
yes there is a notable difference
the WRR is 26hp, the drz is 32 and the 650 is 36

The bikes /dbt/ argues about: Top of the line dual sports and bikes that have been memed into AE86 levels of pricing in the used market
The bikes /dbt/ owns: Crappy hondas nobody wants, yameme R3s, and SV650s

Any advice would be much appreciated, thanks

>>16622244
>horsepower
Considering the weight differences between these bikes the power:weight is effectively the same. Right around 10-11lbs per hp.


A WRR makes ~27whp with a ready to ride weight of under 300lbs.
A DR makes ~36whp with a ready to ride weight of about 370lbs.


And this isn't even mentioning the weight advantage's effect on handling, braking, and offroad ability.

>>16622273
>all the shitposting is from people with nice bikes
>the shitbike anons are too depressed to even interact with 4chan

>>16622275
Don't get one of those small bikes (Grom/Z125) as a first/only bike. They are only useful as fuckaround bikes or scooter replacements.

Don't get a garbage 250/300cc """sportbike""". There is no point in buying a fully faired bike just to fuck it up. And there is no point in buying something so underpowered for no reason. You want somethign naked/semi-naked

Get a 650cc naked twin from whatever manufacturer tickles your pickle and invest in some good frame sliders.

>>16622275
Z125 is much cooler.

>>16622275
250 so you can actually get around and out of your own way

>>16622278

Wrong.

There is effectively no practical difference in power to weight between the mentioned bikes. Certainly not enough of a difference to matter on a dual sport bike.

DR650 is shit. Deal with it.

If australians are meant to be the worst shitposters how come literally all of the shitposting on /dbt/ is done by americans and europeans.

spam dyno as much as you want, you can't really mod a WRR past 35hp.

Meanwhile there are plenty of reliable DR and DRZs built to 50hp

>>16622275
the honduh has 1 (one) cylinder and is made in shitsville, fuck that shit.
why not a z300 or ninja 300? or their 250cc counterparts. made in japan and enough go to get you out of trouble around town, 125 would be so anaemic.
a 500-650cc twin would be even better as you'll be less likely to want to sell it in 6 months.
just my opinion desu senpai

>>16622392
It's a dual sport, no one cares what the absolute mod potential is. If the bike can power out of anything offroad and cruise reasonable at highway speeds, it has enough power.

You want mod potential and horsepower, buy a literbike.

Fact remains that the WRR is a better dual sport than a DR. End of story.

>>16622392
>50hp DR
Pointless, if you want power buy a KTM 5xx EXC or a WR450. Get the power without the shit suspension of landwhale weight of the DR.

If you want a street legal but capable out of the box DS the WR is better than the DR.

My mate was telling me a way to cut shift time without using a quickshifter and it sets off alarm bells in my head but his bike never died from it so I'm confused

>Wait until it hits redline

>>16622392
People like you are why suzuki gets away with never updating there bikes.
>why change it when they keep buying old junk from us

>>16622414
A valid way to shift. You're using the rev limiter in the same way a quick shifter would operate.

Still you don't want to be running into overrev in every gear. It's slower and more wear on your motor.

Do the same thing but slightly grab the clutch for a fraction of a second to shift to the next gear at the appropriate shift rpm. Same effect but you're not into the overrev.

>>16622392
a 50hp turd is still a turd

>>16622417
>buying a new suzuki

>>16622436
I said old junk didnt I? Not supporting the company makes it so they literally just give you 10th owner used bikes.

>>16622392
If you want 50 horsepower in a pigfat road focused package just get a CB500X or a G650GS.

Will be even more comfortable on the highway and about as good offroad and the motor will be 10 times better.

>>16622417
Not just Suzuki, all the jap brands.

>>16622423
Thanks. Limiter is pretty much the perfect spot to shift anyway on my bike, on paper about 500 below is perfect from memory.

I'll give it a test later now that I know its not gonna break my engine. Is there any stopwatch app I can use that can be activated by the accelerometer?

I was only speaking of dual sports/dirt bikes.

>>16622414
yeah its called clutchless upshifting. same can be done in reverse to downshift (blip then downshift). can be hard on the dogs in the transmission, causing gear slippage.

i purchased honda 599 and im very happy with it

>>16622475
It's a p-twin KLR

>>16622414
you're likely losing acceleration if you're taking any stock tune to redline, not always but most bikes peter out before fuel cut.

just preload, clutchless shift and whip the throttle off and on quick with your hand, practice it.

>>16622475
>>16622482
But smoother, more comfortable, and with about 10 more horsepower.

But much more expensive to drop.

>>16622477
well this either does cut throttle a bit, by bouncing up and down against the rev limiter, or you are hard shifting, like mx riders do, which is even rougher on the transmission. i'd say just use the clutch, that's what it's for, and it doesn't have to slow your shifts if youre good at it.

Nope, CB is 46hp, KLR 43hp. They weigh about the same so 3hp is a wash.

Smoother sure, but I don't know about more comfortable

>>16622499
>>16622484
just gonna add that you dont have to go 0% throttle, just enough to unload the gearbox (i.e. the amount of throttle at which you would start to decelerate)

>>16622513
They are both pigfat and awful for actual dirt riding

>>16622513
I'm seeing 15 hp difference on a dyno, I've ridden a KLR650 and if they make 43 hp at the crank that'd be generous.

I think they're both hunks of shit but there's far more than 3hp difference in power between the two.

Very informative thank you.

Whats the hand signal for "I've shit myself please pull over so I can clear the solids from my pants"?

>>16622757
One hand on the grab bar, one hand around rider's waist. Hold onto rider for acceleration, onto bar for braking. If you're braking really hard put your front hand onto the tank and dig your knees into their waist. Do not slide into the rider or you'll push them up the tank, knees into waist keep the rider down in the seat.

Yes

But thats not really supercharging, it's more like making up for fuel losses. And it's fixed for a certain rpm and then adjusted to other rpm ranges through the power valve.

>>16622752
It really depends on your bike. If you have a low COG sportbike it somehow helps to stand a little and countershift your weight between pegs. I don't know why, but it does.

Lol wut

to be clear you shift your weight OPPOSITE of the direction of the bike lean.

You don't have to stand up to do this, just whatever way you can more effectively balance the bike at low speeds with yourself upright and the bike leaned over.
