Anyone here ride a Ural? I am looking into them, but am unsure. I met with two dudes last weekend and rode their bikes, but how bad is the quality assurance on them? I currently own a 2016 TW200, and a 2005 DL1000(that I have put 70k miles on).

>shitter who can't ride starter pack

>>16780313
As a Russian i tell you that URAL is like everything made in Russia lacks quality on every part that was made here. That's why they put brembo brakes on it. If same engine would have been done by Japs it would be indestructible, but it's made in Russia so expect the worst.

Alright, I am a fairly competent mechanic/machinist, but want/need something reliable, as it will replace my Jeep and DL1000.

Every russian takes some essential spare parts when driving out somewhere on their UAZ, NIVA or even URAL. Though URAL is almost extinct here. It's just a gag motorcycle for foreigners that never had anything so ... primal...

Nah. Mine heal after a while. Its just since I've been cutting way too far back and I seriously need new work boots. My feet apparently grew in the last year

Surely it can't be that bad and you're exaggerating, right?

new to me bike has sat for a few months since previous owner rode it. no major problems I've discovered, but today it took a while to start, and would die with any throttle. once I got it going, it would take a second for the throttle to catch up after input, and would randomly idle quite high (~4000rpm) and then back down again.

bike is a 91 cbr250rr. I'm thinking it just needs a carb clean, but if that fails, what should my next course of action be? vacuum leak checks?

>>16780865

dbt, I put my bike in the shed after I fucked it up before the winter and I looked it over today. Looks like the frame isn't straight anymore, I probably need a new shifter rearset and the handles are fucked up. Should I just ditch my 250, bring it to the shop or fix it myself?

Well lots of reviews about Alpinestars, gloves and boots, complain about them falling apart. I'm not too keen on trying my luck.

The color on the Daytona is not that bad and the quality should be far higher. I admit it's not the color I would want, though.

Yeah but not in my size, unfortunately. That model is out of production.

How do the SMX 6 fit? I've got skinny feet.

>>16780936
Why do you say that?

>>16780942
Never tried them, but if they fit anything like the roam2 they should be pretty skinny.
My feet are also pretty skinny and they are nice and snug.

no fucking shit dickhead. The faster you go the more you slow down when you lift off.

>>16781035
>no fucking shit dickhead. The faster you go the more you slow down when you lift off.

but it's the opposite of that, engine braking is weaker in higher gears.

>>16781037
You do know what wind resistance is? Holy shit did you pass 4th grade?

>>16781038
Engine braking is stronger than wind resistance

>>16781040
Use a trip so I can filter you. You're dumb as dog shit. Put your bike in neutral at 120km/h and you will drop speed like nobodies business.

>>16781035
What don't you get about what I said? You passed and intersection while you didn't have your hands on the handlebar.

Not all bikes are like yours, engine braking is real.

Stop insulting people randomly, you stupid piece of shit.

>>16781044
You realize there's more than one person responding to you, do you?

It doesn't matter what speed you go, my bike will slow down much more than yours even at 120kmh, why is it so hard for you to understand?

>You passed and intersection

>Not all bikes are like yours

I'm not insulting people randomly, just the stupid fucks that have no fucking clue and clearly don't ride.

>>16781049

>my bike will slow down much more than yours even at 120kmh

Can you read fuckwit?

The rate at which your bike decelerates from 120km/h is HIGHER than the rate it will decelerate from 60km/h

You're delusional if you think wind resistance isn't a massive factor in this.

>>16781044
I regularly pull the clutch so I can rest my right hand, have had it in neutral too.
My bike has the aerodynamics of a brick wall. I comfortly cruise several km without losing much speed like that. Letting go of the throttle will make me go from 130 to 100 in 1-200m in 6th gear. That is engine braking. I need to switch my brake lights on to warn cars about it, I slow down that fast with engine braking.

>>16781049
Oh and also, post a webm of you on your bike (if you have one) in 5th/6th gear at 50km/h on a moderate downhill and show me how much it slows down from having neutral acceleration.

>>16781058
>I can coast for kilometers with the clutch in or in neutral

yeah I'm done with this discussion. You're fucking retarded. Consider suicide.

>>16781060
I would show that. But the difference between 50 and 30(idle speed in 6th) isn't really big.

For what fucking purpose? Not even mentioning the fact that you WANT engine braking in downhill because you will overheat brakes if you only use them if the descent is long enough, who fucking uses 5th gear while doing 50kmh? You should be in 2nd gear or 3rd at best.

No I meant my bike actually moves forward without giving any gas in 6th, idling along.
I never said it doesn't slow down, but I can come quite far without dropping below 100km/h. Like I said, did it often enough. 2km is achievable if there aren't uphills sections.
Never said it doesn't exist, but it doesn't do shit compared with engine braking

jesus christ you inconsistent fuck. Make up your fucking mind. You've literally countered your own argument.

>>16781104
Pulling clutch/neutral: can cruise along for a while
Letting go of gas: drop speed fairly quick
Not giving gas at idle in 6th: it will still move

So if I'm in 6th gear at speed and I stop giving gas I will slow down until I've reached the idle speed.

You need to learn how to read.

>>16781108
>Pulling clutch/neutral: can cruise along for a while
Physics doesn't agree with you sorry. Please post a video to prove that you're immune to wind resistance.

Torque to do what exactly? Ride DOWN HILL at 50km/h? Grow up fuckhead. I can imagine you're the type of person (when you're old enough to get your licence and save your neetbux to buy a car) that puts a far can exhaust on their car and drives around parking lots at 5000rpm in first gear.

Because you don't have a fucking bike. And you know I'm going to ask for a timestamped pic of your bike. If you have time to shitpost on /dbt/ you have time to take a pic of it.

Oh wait, let me guess, you're 'not home' or 'it's at the shop getting upgrades' or any other number of shitty excuses.

You don't have a fucking bike. Bet you wouldn't even post a timestamped pic of your bike licence while covering up photo/numbers/address/etc. Because you most likely don't have one.

Okay, first that in the webm was only a slight downhill, second it depends if you wanna go fast or not, if there are hairpins you WILL ride at 50kmh and will need engine braking if you don't wanna go fast.

What the fuck are you talking about? Commuting down a hill is not riding on a racetrack. Again, when you're old enough for a licence I hope you've matured to a point where you don't kill someone else when you wrap yourself around a tree doing 100km/h in a suburban street.

>if there are hairpins you WILL ride at 50kmh and will need engine braking if you don't wanna go fast.

Lmao what the fuck are you going on about cunt? The situation has ALWAYS been about a moderate downhill, straight section of road. You're trying to justify riding in 2nd gear at 60km/h and 6000rpm in that situation by bringing up a completely different situation.

>I'm afraid it is you who might be dumb.

Why is that?

>>16781338
Every engine is different obviously. My red line is at about 11K, while other bikes have peak performance even higher.

>>16781344
The SV one redlines at 11k as well.
So why shouldn't I ride at 6k? From what I can tell the powerband of the SV650 starts between 5k and 6k.

>>16781349
Why would you NEED to ride at 6k rpm while commuting down a straight hill?

Who gives a shit about what the SV one redlines at, you don't own one.

If you cruise at the speed limit downhill or on the flat at high rpm you're retarded.

I'm not the guy you were originally responding to. I have no idea why you shouldn't ride your bike in its power band. I have zero experience with Suzuki bikes though.

This is my bike's factory power band, though it's completely neutered with the stock tune and exhaust. Much better with an ECU flash and upgrades.

>>16781358
> I have no idea why you shouldn't ride your bike in its power band

You're responding to a straw man argument. Nobody is saying to avoid the powerband. However, he's implying that at all times you should be in the lowest gear possible revving the fuck out of your bike while cruising along at 50/60kph for reasons I'm not sure. He mentioned something about hairpins?

>>16781357
>If you cruise at the speed limit downhill or on the flat at high rpm you're retarded.
Can you please tell us why?

>>16781367
>he's implying that at all times you should be in the lowest gear possible revving the fuck out of your bike while cruising along at 50/60kph
6k is far from 11k, it's not revving.

Are triumphs actually good or do they just sell because of brand?

>>16781368
Post your bike and licence and I'll be more than happy to. However, if you own a bike or a licence you'd know that staying at high rpm for literally no discernible reason is retarded.

>>16781372
When did I say redlining. Learn to read.

Sounds like battery issue where connects to fuel pump.

6k is not high. 5-6k is what you need to have decent acceleration.

Why do you need 'acceleration' while commuting down a long straight hill at the speed limit? And what kind of fucking shithouse bike do you ride that you can't accelerate from 3k rpm. My GS500 does it just fine with a pillion on the back.

what brand is your fender eliminator?

Alright. I'm mad.

I attempted to adjust the throttle position sensor on my vstrom 1000. I put it in dealer mode, saw the -C00 code was actually _C00 and the line didn't move up til above 2k. I looked up how to adjust the sensor and I either missed or the guide I read omitted the part where you physically rotate the sensor, not just the screw,so I tightened the screw, which was quite loose, and it actually made the code line rise, so I figured i should tighten the bastard more. The screw is a torx tamper resistant one, and soft as hell. Stripped it a bit, so I double checked another guide and got the right info, tried to loosen the thing, and now it's all stripped to hell because I can't get a straight shot at it, the radiator hose is in the way. So, I tried to JB weld a bolt onto it last night, and let it sit over night to harden. Bolt came right off just now. So now, I have a stripped torx security screw covered in jb weld, in a very tight space.

What the fuck do I do?

>>16781700
I'm a little short but not worried about weight that much. I really just want a ds for light off-road/hooning

>>16781781
I'm moving to CA in August/September for a job offer I got. My exhaust had better be allowed or I'm gonna raise hell. I have no idea why it wouldn't be street legal. With the baffle inserted it's not even that loud. Now, without the baffle inserted yes it is very loud and probably not street legal in places that care about that sort of thing.

I think "bred for the racetrack and not for street use" is just marketing, but fuck if I know, I'm not in CA yet.

I don't remember which fender eliminator I got. I bought it on eBay a while ago and I can't remember my eBay password for the life of me.

>>16781532
it hurts to shift with flipflops unless you make sure to aim it on the flop part of the flip

>>16781826
alright, thanks anon.
you're going to have to check if your exhaust is street legal, i don't believe the yoshi is, quote from their site "RACE SERIES
FOR CLOSED COURSE COMPETITION ONLY;
NOT INTENDED FOR STREET USE." then again it might be marketing because it says "intended"
also if you live in cali you have to find an exhaust that meets CARB emission requirements, and that's nearly fucking impossible, i'm honestly surprised two-stroke dirt bikes are legal at all in cali because the gov here is retarded.
you MIGHT be able to get away with an akrapovic but only if you put the catalytic converter on it which kills performance

>>16781826
Just to rant a little more, I already have to forfeit my right to conceal carry a defensive sidearm and own my built AR when I move to Orange County, CA this year. If they also make me neuter my exhaust I'm going to be PISSED. My bike is like one of my three pillars of material happiness. I've got my computer, my bike, and my guns. I'm losing at least one of those already moving to CA.

>>16781826
>>16781840
to add:
if where you move to you don't have to smog check yearly you could get away with it, just don't get pulled over by a cop lol

>>16781842
good luck with your bike if you move to cali anon. as long as you don't ride like a douchebag you should be chill with cops, they won't bother you if your exhaust is quiet enough but if you want to ride like an idiot you probably need an akra with the cat. im going to get out of this shitty state as soon as i can.

>>16781842

bikes need to be over 7.5k or a certain age to be registered in California if out of state. Everyone here in socal has illegal exhausts and >>16781864 what he said is correct. Most cops will let you go with it if you are not a dick. there are occasions where people do get busted and have to throw the stock back on for inspections. ive never heard of a bike actually being smogged. You may be better off buying a bike here and modding it.

>>16781790
At this point insurance fraud is your only option.

>>16781895
>bikes need to be over 7.5k or a certain age to be registered in California if out of state.
What do you mean by this? They need to be over 7.5K miles to be registered if I'm moving from another state? My bike is a 2015 FZ-07 with under 3K miles on it. Are you telling me I could keep my Oregon registration? Tags don't expire until 2019.

>>16781946

Yea it's something like 7.5k. I've talked to a guy with newer cbr which he keeps in az bc of that. You can keep your Oregon registration for now. Just don't get found out your actually living here. If you get pulled over after a year or so with a ca license but an Oregon bike they might get suspicious.

>15 minutes to get motorcycle on top of milk crate

>>16781992
>1 second to get it on the center stand

>I have a stripped screw covered in JB weld
Well as far as I see it you have two options. The easiest one would be to light the bike on fire and claim it was electrical, I suggest running your highbeam wires to the inside of the gas tank so that they arc, then simply start the bike, flip on brights, and poof.

Alternatively, go to a hardware store, buy a new screw with the same thread pattern, and replace it.

I'd recommend the first one.

>>16782002
>center stand
Only slow bikes have center stands anon, you don't have a slow bike do you?

I'd like to take her for a test ride.

>>16782061
No problem, just go to your local BMW Motorrad dealer

>>16782063
what's the MSRP on one though? And can I lease because most go downhill once they hit about 30 years old.

How to tighten clutch lever without tightening clutch to the point it doesn't disengage?

>>16782067
Depends on your options, but don't think she'll come cheap.
Private lease is no problem, but they also have a premium occasion programme, so you can get one with minimal wear and tare, use it for a while and sell it without that much loss. If you keep her in good condition of course.

>>16781501
what if they're actually riding to work in their dirty work boots and work clothes?

Where is green drz anon with the sick willys

>>16781790
Sounds like the perfect time to go ahead a change your hose(s) and coolant; get 'em out of the way so you can work on the stripped bolt, then install a new hose and fill with fresh coolant. Win-win. I will admit the insurance fraud and fire suggestions made me chuckle.

>>16781699
It's not legal in most states either. Here in WI "no exhaust shall be modified to be louder than what came on the stock configuration" but everyone tells that law to fuck right off. And you won't get in trouble for it unless you already pissed off the cops

i saw it in Dortmund, whats the fucking point?

So they use their S1000 inline 4 to build in-house competition to their GS-series? And who needs an adventure/touring bike with a superbike engine?

Its a comfortable sports tourer and overall street bike with the detuned S1000R version of the engine
And it performs well on track given its road focus.

>>16782309
I'm black SV. I'm another A.

>>16782367
It's not really competition with the GS, it doesn't fit in the long way round crowds aesthetic. the XR is more just a fast touring bike with an upright riding position, think of it in terms of a sport tourer.

>>16782367
Because why make money, if you can make even more money?

The XC is targeted at a different, younger, audience.
I see it like this:

The F-series is the baby series, fun for starting riders or people wanting a light BMW.
The S-series is for the younger people with money. Fast and loud.
The R-series is for the old BMW rider. It has the engine they always had, nice and relaxed.
The K-series is for the elderly BMW rider and the proper tourer. Big, heavy sofa's.

>>16782380
Say cheers from fkg if you see one of the fags this year.

>>16782391
I'd say G series is now the beginner and F series intermediate but otherwise this is pretty much spot on

>>16782396
Isn't the G-series just one bike?

Jesus fucking Christ BMW, stop it with this shit plastic bullshit you're doing.

Why don't they go back to the old school ways. From the times before the 1200. Where you could actually maintain your bike. Or crash your GS into the bushes without needing to repair everything.

>>16782382
>it doesn't fit in the long way round crowds aesthetic.

I ride a bunch after midnight, pretty much necessary in PNW.
Handguards protect the levers and give some wind protection.

Which are pretty nice to have actually.

Yes, they can be made into LWR bikes, but they target a different demografic. My dad is a BMW veteran, he ride a 1200GSA. He wouldn't buy a XC, it's not what he wants.
I on the other hand am interested in one, but sadly it's out of my budget.

As an 1199 owner, I'd pick the ducati. I test rode the S1000RR (2015 model), Yamaha R1 (2015 model), but the Ducati had, in my opinion, the better engine character, sound, and handling. It's also surprisingly roomy for someone like me, at 6'1" tall. Because it's so narrow, it feels a lot smaller and agile than the BMW, and is more comfortable than the R1, which I didn't expect. The fueling is great on the 1199, with just a small flat spot between 4-5000rpm when riding through town, but not noticeable when riding faster, whereas the R1 was a little choppy at several points. The BMW was pretty flawless in terms of fueling/power delivery, but I didn't enjoy how weighty and sluggish-steering it felt in slower corners. It's a monster in a straight line, with great power delivery, but the clocks weren't as good as the Duc or the Yamaha, it doesn't sound great in comparison, and to be honest, I just wasn't excited about the thought of owning one.

I considered the S version, as the suspension is really cool and the LED lights are good, but I really didn't feel enough of a difference between the base model and the S to justify the extra grand or so difference. Instead, I'm gonna use the money to make a couple of trips to the MotoGP in Spain/Italy, or do a couple of trackdays.

Either way, you won't be disappointed, the Duc and the BMW both offer ridiculous acceleration and brutal power, but the looks, character and sound of the V-twin nailed it for me. The traction control is great on both, too, you'd have to be doing something completely stupid to lose grip with either.

I have a pair of SMX-6 boots, they're fantastic. 2 years, including a season of racing with multiple crashes, and they're still going strong, just worn through the arch on the left due to grinding them against the end of the peg on track. They're ridiculously comfortable for a road/race boot, real nice insole/heel.
