>>16792421

Gsxr is the cheapest here.

>>16792421
They sold a fuckload of them. Supply is high, demand is rather low, so price is low.

>>16792696
My options were fairly limited and I have to consider parts availability living here. The other bikes I was considering were the versys650 and outgoing striple.

It's not like I can swing by my local Honda-Yamaha-Suzuki dealer and grab a clean sv650

>>16792711
The scenery is incredible beyond the outskirts of the city but touges are very far away from the capitol. Like hundreds of kms kinda far. And driving at night can be daunting. The Long Way Down showcased a couple good roads here. Ewan said it reminded him of Scotland.

As far as quality of life is concerned, it's quite good if you've got money like anywhere else. Rule of law is good but bureaucracy is maddening.

>>16792750
>actually using the word "touge"
that's a paddlin

>>16792738
>yamaha were too cheap to include a $40 item on that bike

really makes you think, it's not that the lack of preload adjustment is the only problem with the bike, it's that it's emblematic of the rest of it, they don't care about how it actually rides because they know they're selling to idiots who don't know better.

>>16792723
I think the fz will be a good learner bike and I'll jump to a liter naked in a few years

>>16792769
with that being said, the MT-07 works way better than the MT-09

My main lights and high beams don't work on my bike but the parkers do then they sometimes come on after reclining but usually not what do. Bikes an 09 sv650 and I had the same issue on my mc22 but the lights came on always after redlining

>>16792769
I know you're just a random retard shitposting, but it's $40 for a very cheap one, multiplied by millions of times for however many bikes they make.

Most people will never even touch the adjustment knobs on their suspension anyway, and you've probably never rode one, but they handle quite well for the average weight person.

If you really care, fork adjusters and valve kits aren't that expensive.

>>16792801
>millions

okay maybe not that many but still. sounds like a small amount until you think about how much it'd actually cost to put on every bike, when most would go untouched anyway

>>16792801
>you've probably never rode one

I have, that's why I know they're not all that good, the front end in particular is just atrocious, gives you no feel and just digs in when you turn in.

(again, not as bad as the MT-09 though.)

>Most people will never even touch the adjustment knobs on their suspension anyway

that's all I'm saying, they make these bikes for idiots who don't know better.

>>16792827
They ride perfectly well enough for the average rider to cruise around town or go for a quick ride in the backroads, which is exactly what the bike is made for. You're complaining that the bike doesn't have things that are totally unnecessary for its place in the product lineup. If you actually gave a shit about front end feel, you'd be messing with it regardless, and upgrading a cheap front end like that is not hard at all

>>16792816
>living in Africa unironically

>>16792840
>which is exactly what the bike is made for.

we agree then, all I'm saying is they made the bike for retards who don't know any better.

The fact that you write so good english, have internet and can buy new bikes means you gotta be upper class. Just checked the GDP and HDI of ethiopia. How much worse would your life be if you had born to a rural family somewhere far from Addis Ababa? Does having so many problem countries nearby make life near the borders dangerous?

When I get another bike (lol) I'm getting the zippy pants to attach to my jacket so I can stop fucking my legs up everytime I crash. You will be missed my little 450. Hopefully the goon who bought you wheelied and crashed at least 3 times already.

>>16793364
Earplugs for over 20 minutes of high speed riding, think extended freeway commuting or even slower if your helmet is a bit loud.

Earbuds(music) for lower speed commuting just don't turn them up too much or you may do damage with them without noticing. Up to you but I like to listen to some music.

On the twisties, it depends how I feel but I rarely use earplugs there, although high speed twisties can be as fatiguing as the freeway and the silence can help you focus but it's nice to hear the bike working through the mountains and hearing other vehicles approaching.

Noise fatigue is a pain in the ass if you commute long distance on a bike and try to have a quiet conversation or really concentrate afterwards.
Also just about all helmets are loud enough to cause permanent hearing loss over time too, especially being exposed for long periods on commutes but it will slowly deteriorate your hearing. There are some helmets that are apparently very quiet even at freeway speeds but I've not bought one.

I use silicone ear plugs every day and wash them about once a week and they last a long time unless I lose them. At first I was worried about ear infections from reusing plugs but it never happened, they're still cheap (cheaper in long term I found) and go ride for an hour on the freeway without plugs, wait til your hearing is normal then ride back with the plugs and you will surely be convinced to wear them.

Can anyone tell me why I shouldn't reformat my SJ4000 destined sd card from fat to ntsc?

Does it not work?

>>16793527
>I made her wear the German

My Schubert is noticeably more silent than my Marushin.

I don't know man, I tried the music shit. I even bought a 20S and I guess it's cool on the highway but I feel like I lose situational awareness locally. I like to try and hear everything around me. Everyone else I know just uses headphones but I could never listen to music on the twisties. Maybe I'm half retarded but I believe I need 100 percent concentration so for shifting and weight transfer I listen to the exhaust. That and I'm too lazy to make a good playlist so I keep getting mad and switching songs and give up.

>>16793681
If you feel it's distracting it's probably better for you not to wear them then, I didn't mean you NEED to listen to music or anything, in fact most of the time I'm riding I don't wear them but it can take some tension out of a busy commute and I don't have trouble concentrating or hearing the traffic around me.
It helps if you have earphones that let in as much outside sound (not in-canal earphones) and you don't turn the volume up too much (although that can be fun sometimes to cruise around with a good album on) but I've always seen hazards before I've heard them and even then I still hear them whether I'm wearing earphones or earplugs, I've ridden some friends bikes that were insanely loud and I don't think you can beat keeping your eyes alert and up.

It was cool for short local riding on the supermoto. Offers little to no protection but it's really crazy what you hear with no full helmet on. I wouldn't make it a regular thing but if I was riding with my other sm and dirtbike buddies around town it was adequate. I even fell a few times with it on while willieng and never hurt my head.

>>16793726

I think I have hearing damage from dirtbikes and 1000s running m4s. That and the truck I drive is pretty loud in the cabin on the highway. Maybe that's why I feel like I can't hear anything with music on. Also my Shoei is insanely good at blocking noise. Or again maybe I just can't hear shit.

Just one. I think people make a bigger deal about the suspension then there is as we saw earlier in the thread. It was just a luxury to be able to upgrade and yea it feels great but it wasn't keeping me from doing anything before. I'm 15mins from the best twisties in GA and ride almost exclusively there. I see several people saying the stock suspension is almost unrideable or even dangerous which is totally assinine. It's a fine suspension for the style of bike it is. Any rider is going to benefit from upgrading their suspension to match their weight. It would be a valid complaint if the bike was 12000 USD or something.

But problem bikers are still a problem off the bike.

I said it was a luxury. I also didn't need new handlebars or levers or grips or exhaust or graphics or an ECU reflash nor did I need a brand new bike but I like my bike so I throw money in the money pit.

My stepdad wrecked a scooter with his girlfriend on the back when he was growing up; she was wearing one of the helmets and was seriously fucked up. She landed on a curb with her face, broke her jaw, knocked out a bunch of teeth, broke her eye socket, etc.

They don't need to have the suspension replaced and ECU remapped to be rideable.

It happened just cruising down the street when a car turned in front of him. He went into the side of it and they both got catapulted off. He landed on his knees and they've been fucked ever since.

it's not about what I think, it's what you think.

And I know deep down you regret buying it and you don't like it, that seed of doubt got planted a very short time after you bought it, maybe you swapped bikes with a mate for a moment and had the uncomfortable sensation of liking it much more, maybe it was after the 100th super jerky throttle roll left you marginally frustrated again, maybe you didn't trust it in a corner as the rear end wallowed over bumps with it's hilarious rear shock, "but!" you rationalized, "this is a cheap bike, and it's not a sportbike, that's normal", but you knew something was wrong, that's why you got the ECU flash and the new bars and the now the new suspension, you're hoping it'll all fall into place and you'll actually like it now but unfortunately you're chasing an ideal that actually only exists in other bikes.

Your subconscious knows it's not good, but you won't allow yourself to express it because that means you bought the wrong bike and you're an idiot. Hey! maybe it's financed and you're literally stuck with it? I don't know.

Check brand-specific forums because if you have a problem it's likely others do too. This is not a brand specific forum.

You wrote "reclining" and "redlining". Which is it?

Your no-lights problem may be a switch. Get a FACTORY service manual for your machine and study the schematic.

Find where power goes and trace it using a cheap test light. Test lights with bulbs are preferred because they are loads.

CB 200s are not a pain to work on. Otheranon who had an XL was dealing with a different engine.

They aren't fast but they can be fun and are collectible. Condition is everything and the scrambler pipes and fuel tank are uncommon today.

For 800 I'd find something else unless it's cosmetically stock and looks really good. Then I'd buy it, sort it out and flip it later because it's a scrambler. If it's nice enough to buy, do not nigger it with any "cafe" shit which is absurd on that size bike and much less pleasant to ride.

Their own ignorance. You were taught correctly.

>>16794278
if you're in a serious crash and have an actual injury, running over to your bike and picking it up is probably the worst thing you can do for yourself.
Picking your bike up right away won't help it any. It's the fall and slide that hurt it, not laying there.

>>16794439
If you are injured, you'll know it.

I prefer to keep crankcase oil in the crankcase rather than letting it fill the top end. That's also why dirt bikers do it, plus of course if you have carbs fuel flooding is exasperating.

Riding shoes are atleast set up to take the some of the stresses footwear gets from riding, but they won't help with ankle protection.

>>16794579
I've got tall offroading boots that almost go up to my knee right now and they're a pain in the ass to shift in on a sport bike with the foot pegs behind/underneath you.

Those were in the boot section of this site and they're higher than the shoes, seemed like a decent middle ground. Been using steel toed work boots for the past bit but they don't offer as much ankle support as I'd like.

Not much rain riding but I live in the PNW so I'd like some water resistance. My exhaust also runs right alongside the foot pegs on both sides so a cool boot takes precedent over a waterproof boot otherwise my feet start to cook.

I just spent 40 minutes trying to troubleshoot why my fuel wasn't coming out of my disconnected fuel tank until I realized there's a pump system that draws it out and it doesn't come out until you hook it back up. Seems a bit redundant with a petcock on it, but ok Honda..

>>16794753
Dude. Honda tanks are stupid as fuck. What bike?

My shadow has the main tank that flows to the auxiliary tank and that flows through a petcock into the fuel pump and into the carbs. It's dumb but the only way they could fit the air intake tube and the gas tank in such a narrow way.

I've posted about it before, my project VF500F Interceptor. I was wanting to drain the old gas but I'd have to do it through the giant hole in the top which will be messy so I'll just burn through it.

>>16794802
You can just disconnect the petcock and drain through there my dude

>>16794818
It's back together and I don't want to take it off again. Runs good enough with half and half old and new fuel.

Also fitting the carbs back on it was the worst thing I've ever had to do with a bike, and I had to do it twice because I stupidly fitted it back on without putting the throttle cables on first. 4 barrels fit in an upside down V pattern so you can't just slide it in easily, took 2 people, a steel bar, and enough force I thought I was going to break it.

Sounds surprisingly good with the stock cans though.

I broke my hand, brused both wrists, ribs, hips and knee.

I managed to stand up, remove my helmet, get my gloves up, run to my bike 20m further up the road, flip the kill switch, run back to my gear and stopping someone before collapsing. Couldn't walk for about a week, and getting out of bed was painful for 3 months.

They only found out my hand was broken after some x-rays, as I had more pain in my wrists and hip.

>>16794753
sometimes there's a "prime" setting you can set it on to let it just flow right out

>>16795156
I didn't see it, just the on, off, reserve of the petcock. I could breath and suck air through it but nothing flowed out.

Yep. I didn't try sucking gas out; I don't care about it that much. Just turned the tank over and sucked gasoline fumes through it. When I turned it to off, I couldn't suck or blow through it anymore so the petcock was definitely opening something.

Very much. A lot also depends on what you want to do. It's fairly popular right now to take older 70s-80s UJMs and modernize the suspension components and tune them a bit for more performance.
>could I buy somehting old and sturdy and fix it up ?
Yes.

Any 2-stroke motorcycle or any pre-1989 bike would be a fairly good bet.

>Are dirtbikes practical
Yes unless you commute huge distances over the highway, and even then you could probably gear them for highway.

>>16795229
Motorcycles are like cars; they've gotten more reliable with time but you can definitely get an old air cooled jap bike and drive it for forever as long as you keep up with maintenance. Dirtbikes/dualsports inherently need more maintenance and you'll get less mileage out of them than a road bike but yeah they can be practical.

If a reliable bike with the most outdated, boring engine ever is what you want then yeah.

>>16795292
meme bike

>>16795298
How is it boring and outdated? I gotta say I know very little about that.

Extremely linear power band, low rpm, and it only makes ~15% more power than a ninja 300 even though it's almost 60% larger.

Honda's had that engine with a couple tweaks every now and then around since forever so they've pretty much got all the kinks ironed out but it doesn't make for an exciting ride if that's what you were looking for.

Read the post he quoted by dude.

>>16795298
I'm curious as to what the fuck bike you think had this engine before the NC47. The CB500 and CBF500 had a completely different bore and stroke and aren't even the same displacement.

>>16795314

>>16795323
The top end is what it is because it's marketed at Euro learners.

reminder that carbs are shit

>>16795346
Yup, and everybody outside of europe gets memed on by honda

>>16795323
This guy >>16795346 is right, I am Dutchman and my license has a limit to 35kw. I have had lessons on a CB500 F and loved it. Perhaps it is because I haven't had one of the more 'exciting' bikes.

>>16795332
Thanks dude, it's actually going to look 100% different considering I ordered repro fairings from a Ducati 750 to fit my bike so it stands out at bike week
>>16795336
Looked back, that was an accident waiting to happen

>>16795370
Yeah I was being retarded. No regrets though, I still sold the bike for more than I bought it for.

>>16795353

can someone explain the big exhausts or at least tell me what its called so I can find more info.

This is an extreme simplification, but it's the general idea.

What's with all these riders sticking their knee way the fuck out? Is it just so they can say they dragged their knee without even going that fast?

>>16795432
When a pipe increases in section, the fluid passing through it slows down and increases its pressure, following Bernoulli's law (p + d g h + 1/2 u^2 d = constant, where p is pressure, d is density, g is gravitational pull, h is height and u is speed, basically if you make u greater, p must decrease) which is visually explained by pic related.
As you can see in >>16795463, the exhaust and inlet ports are open at the same time, which causes part of the mixture to escape.
The increase pressure generated by the exhaust gasses passing through the enlarged section avoids a large part of the mixture to escape.
This depends on the flow of gasses, which varies with engine rpm, but can be tuned for different engine speeds by means of a valve at the beginning of the exhaust that regulates the flow and allows the back-pressure to be ideal (at best) across all the rpm range.

>>16795969

>>16796117
yeah it was double digits in celsius here like 2 months ago and now it's back to snow, so sick of it.

how demanding of a job is it to replace handlebars on your own?

Does you bike just feel better some days that others?

Recently its just felt lighter, more nimble to ride but it has days where it feels normal

>>16796412
No not unless it's cold out or something. Is it carburated?

>>16796436
It is but its summer down here. But its not power related. The bike just feels more eager to lean and move around

>>16796449
Your imagining it anon.
