Help! I have a 81 cb750f. The slip-on muffler is cracked and I want to get a new one. I'm having trouble finding just that slip on piece without knowing the pipe size. Anyone know or recommend any good websites to buy a new one?

>>16657621
i did

440 bore kit
39mm FCR carb
stage 2 cams.
yoshimura RS-2

it was ok i guess. it felt sluggish. like it didn't have the pop of the old flat slide carb.

>>16657602

2007. I prefer this body style over the new gens for some reason.

>>16657625
Probably not as bad as an R6, but kicking it would suck.

>>16657635
Literally everyone says the FCR has amazingly better throttle response than the stocker so I'm not sure what you mean. Stage 2 cams are for top end power too IIRC. Got your jetting dialed in?

>>16657645
oh that's weird.

The bike itself is a lot worse than the new gens so I hope that wasn't the deciding factor, the engine on the 2nd gen is unbelievable.

>>16657603
That depends on the bike.
Kickstart a no go for a lot of people.

Do Supermoto conversions include changes to the suspension? I would think that the stock setup would be too soft.

>>16657651
i didn't keep it for long cause it made my maintenance intervals 450cc dirt bike tier.

figured if i was going to be doing that kind of work to keep it running then might as well just get something like a real 450cc dirt bike.

looked at a couple EXC500s and FE501s but i ended up buying a 1290 SDR when i sold the GSXR too.

Depends, not necessarily. Anything from no changes to new springs and oil to whole new Showa/Ohlins suspension.

>>16657687
Really? Because ThumperTalk would have me believe that the BBK doesn't change the maintenance intervals at all, and that the Hot Rods stroker crank takes a careful install but if done right is the same.
You aren't the 1290 I park next to every day are you? kek
Should still get the 501.

>>16657660

I'm aware of the mechanical differences between the two. Insurance was a factor too. The 07 was cheaper to insure vs the newer one for full so that was a decent factor.

Plus this one came with complete service records for a guy who was very meticulous in every thing he did on the bike. Was well taken care of and he was honest through the whole sale. Best person ive ever dealt with for a private sale. Even offered me new tires off his zx-10 and to even buy me a new battery if i have issue with the lithium one.

>>16657685
depends if the rider is actually riding supermoto tracks or racing, just doing wheelies and vaping, whether it was converted from a trail bike, MX bike or enduro etc. Whether the supermoto course has jumps or is a flat track.

to do it "right" as in make a fast track machine, ideally yes, but I mean you change your suspension settings and, springs, oil etc. per track if you're doing it "right" anyway, so I don't really think of it to much as like changing the suspension, just think of your springs and what not as a "setting".

They also generally run a much larger front brake because you brake much harder and more frequently on tarmac.

I've been riding a 50cc manual moped for a while, and I think I want to dig deeper into bikes as a hobby. I found a 73 CL125 on craigslist near where I live, and I'm wondering if it would be a good first "real bike." I'd imagine it's probably worth 400-500 US, because it's lost a bit of its luster.

Opinions?

Pic related, but not the same bike on craigslist.

That would be a good learner bike so long as you are willing to wrench on it yourself.

It has 'points' ignition and the brakes are vintage. Dailed in your could do 75 ish top speed on flat ground. If you put new paint and keep it shiny old men will admire it.

No one cares who you respect. You don't even respect yourself enough to avoid responding to trolls.

For a small displacement two stroke like that you definitely want a red or purple powerband. You need all the power you can get.

>>16658403
Funny thing is... you can actually adjust the power band on a kx85 by replacing the power valve spring with either a softer/stiffer spring.

It can't be the fuse, relay or battery since I can indicate left fine-ish, and it can't be one of the bulbs because I'm not getting sped up flashes on the remaining bulb / indicator check light, right? So it should be the indicator switch that's broken?
On a scale of 1 to adjusting the carbs on a CB 400, how annoying is switching out the left switch assembly on a late 90s standard bike? They're around 30 € so not that expensive.

fucking fair weather riders, i swear to fucking god. i had to go to the complete other side of campus today because value signalling moto-preeners needed to let everyone in their classes know they're a badass motorcyclist. where are you faggots when it's not a perfect day out?

Yeah most likely the switch. Disconnect the connector from the bike's wiring harness and unscrew it to completely remove it and give you room to work then just get to cleaning the innards and apply a little dialectric grease.

i'm saying those gloves aren't going to do much to keep your hands together in a crash. They're just cheap gloves with a bunch of different shit sewn on to give the appearance of being beefed up and protective.

>>16661195
Because especially on days with bad weather is the traffic horrible.
It's the perfect time to go on your bike and lane split your way to work and home.

Also it has to be fucking cold or fucking hot do I care about the weather.
My suit has more in common with a ski suit than racing leathers.
