Normally I do, but my job recently put me on 6 10 hour days a week and I don't want to use up my one day off cursing and wrenching on my bike.

Besides, I got the money for a mechanic and the guy I go to is as honest and fairly priced as they can get so it's not too bad

>>16802837
Same gear you'd get for a road bike, most protective gear for street legal bikes tends to come down to which aesthetic you like.

Helmet, boots, and gloves are an ABSOLUTE priority, but make sure you get pants and a jacket as well.

Get you a honda XL250 and all the bitches will mire.

My first bike ever was a 1979 XL250s. I loved it, even though it was constantly falling apart. I've got a DR650 right now but I still miss that little bike

>>16802889
Same with my XL350. The front tire literally jumped side to side from the thumper engine but it was a fun little shitbike.

How do you guys carry your chain? Do you put it in a tank bag or in a backpack? Something else?

Less comfortable, I sat on a 08 r6 (my buddies) last night, and it would not be fun for a 14 hour day. Maintenance is a bit more difficult, what with all the plastic and insurance is a lot more expensive on a supersport

Because I do that occasionally. Not every day, more like two days of the year, but I put in a lot of 4 to 7 hour riding days and if I want to ride to Dallas or Flagstaff to visit family, I want to be comfortable.

>>16803158
>$620
fuck that, you can get 2 sets of chinese fairings for that price.

>>16803158
those ones that attach to the subframe look like a really bad idea. They'll put all the impact directly on one spot on your subframe if you crash instead of just falling over on the side and maybe damaging the fairing.

I think that's pretty much what all cages/sliders do anyway. They don't do much except protect the plastics, at the expense of the actual important bits. Just put chink fairings on it really cheap if you're worried about damaging the OEM ones

>>16803071

It was a fuckhuge steel chain that scratched my rim to shit. It's just simply harder to grind through a thick, alarmed dics lock than 1 chain link.

>>16803200

I want an FZ6 because it's a one size fits all bike.

>>16803179
>being poor
i could easily get two, probably 3 hyosung gt650s for what my bike is worth, doesnt make it a good deal though.

How bad is it to use opened brake fluid? I did mine a few months back and obviously fucked it since they are still super squishy. Can I just use the same shit?

>>16803211
Have you ever tried grinding a grade 80 or 100 chain? You will use a few grinding discs to do it and no bolt cutters can do it either. The only let down would be a cheap lock on the chain.

>>16803179

>$620

I make over $1K a week I want something to help protect my bike and looks good.

BTW I work two jobs, 8-5 and then 6-11 every day except Sunday so I really only get to ride once a week anyway other than too and from work.

>>16803367
This is good advice

Forget the racing line everyone talks about, you'll try to early apex like a pro and end up just making a really sharp turn you lack the skill to make, probably ending in a crash

Geometric apex is okay but that comes naturally even if you drive a car

why would you want that on a dirtbike

>pic related

the worst piece of shit I've ever seen, has the engine from a cbr250r put into the worst spagehtti steel frame ever (no it's not aluminium that's box section steel), it weighs a huge amount for a dirtbike and has no power.

I don't know why /dbt/ is fucking obsessed with this shitheap of a bike so I have to tell this story all the time but I saw one drop a wheelie and the footpegs are actually stronger than the frame so it BENT THE FRAME INWARDS where it had been dropped, I was stunned that this happened so he showed me the other side where that had already happened on the other side.

If you google CRF250L bent frame you will see numerous forum posts about this, usually with the owners pretending it's not a big deal for some reason but legally, the frame is the bike and you do NOT want it getting damaged.

>>16803711
You don't want abs, unless you're a cuck... Especially not on a dual sport

ABS would have saved you though soon as you're a retard and locked the rear brake mid corner.

>>16803711
ABS is a shitty thing, that shit doesn't work on dirt anyway.

Learn how to use your brakes like a regular person.

That particular Honda is junk, it's a street bike with slightly more upright seating and longer suspension, it's not a dual sport at all.

Even a KLX250S would be a big improvement.

>>16803711
Don't get abs on a dirt bike wtf, besides CRF250L a shit. Get a 1996-2004 XR250R/L or custom build a CRF230F.

>>16803730
>>16803732
>>16803729

OK then, no honda I guess. I want ABS because I really only plan on riding it on pavement; Dual sports are the bikes that fit me best and I would be getting road tires on it.

>>16803780
By fit I mean physically. I'm a tall motherfucker

>>16803780
...so basically supermoto without wheelies? just build your own and street legalize it then, easy process. Buy enduro bike, get turn signals, mirror, horn, take to DMV with offroad only title, get legalized. Not hard unless you live in a shithole like Oregon

>>16803817
Depends. If you get a Motocross bike then yes, you have to do stuff like oil every few hours and top ends every 50-75 hours in my experience. But if you get a true enduro or trail bike (ex. the CRF230F is probably the most reliable dirt bike ever made) then maintenance is much less often. I rode an XR250R 10 miles to and from high school every day my senior year and around to local trails, and it chugged on and on for 3 or 4 years before I even thought to change the oil. And it wasn't even that bad inside when I got around to it.

>>16803881
ABS a shit on dualsports, speaking through personal experience. And I've ridden many dualsports. KLX250S, XR250R conversion, CRF230L, CRF250L ABS, all kinds of bikes that were and weren't mine. The ABS seriously doesn't do much, you won't be doing stuff that could even require ABS on a DS, it's not worth it.

/dbt/ are there any good motovloggers? Or are they all just stuck-up pieces of shit?

I like Suburban Delinquent and this small guy called frickinjim who does desert shredding videos on dirt bikes but that's pretty much it

all you have to do is take some time getting a feel for the brakes, take it to a lot and do some panic stops

>>16803972
Suzuki DR650. Too heavy for riding the real small and twisty trails, but it can manage on more open ones and off the road in general. Can also cruise at 70-80mph with no problem and has a top indicated speed of 120- I've done about 115 indicated on mine (but on a dual sport that gets fucking spooky)

It's also tough and reliable as a tractor. Power is manageable and there is plenty to be had for highway riding and long distance touring. Cheap, too. Large aftermarket

Sup /dbt/

Why didn't you ride today?

>>16803972
Does it have to be Yammie or Suzuki?
I guess a DR650 or a built WR450F with EFI then, or if you want to go cheap and build your own probably a Yamaha TTR 230, but that's only if you want to build your own.
Kawasaki KLX250S is quite good and so is a built Honda CRF450X. The CRF450X is mean and I love it, I had one back when I did hard enduro and it was a complete beast that could stand up to anything.

Anyone recommend some good desert dualsport tires?
I'm moving to Reno soon from Oregon and looking for some DOTs that will be decent for street riding but also good for hard desert shredding. MotOz Tractionators look pretty good and insane for a DOT but idk

You stupid cunt.

If ABS kicks in, it's because you've already gone past the threshold of your tyres grip. So if you're as fucking good of a rider as all you non-abs nobike faggots claim to be then having ABS on your bike wouldn't even be noticeable.

However, being a rational person who knows that shit can and does happen, I will opt for ABS on all of my bikes. If I never need it then good, however given the choice between having it and not needing it and needing it and not having it I know which one I'll take.

I'd rather have some wanker on 4chan think I'm a pussy then be dead or in a wheelchair.

>hurrr abs takes over the bike for you. You just sit on the seat and it does everything. anyone with abs isn't a 'real rider'

The fact is, the ONLY time ABS comes into play is when you've fucked up and grabbed too much brake and overcome the tyres grip threshold.

Better riders than you or I have done it. I'd rather have ABS there just in case. Literally nobody thinks you're cool for not wanting it.

You don't have to have it, but nobody is impressed. grow up.

why do they turn it off for track riding then?

ABS modulates your braking pressure so you can grab a fistful of brakes without going over the top like a retard, which you surely are

only if they give it a 45° firing order again

>>16803660
By getting a new fucking tyre holy shit.

>>16804450
Because there are times where you want to lock up the brakes. Are you mentally handicapped? Plenty of riders want the rear wheel to lift or slide.

However, your track day argument is a red herring. We're talking about on the street daily riding.

>ABS modulates your braking pressure

Yes, it does so AFTER you've exceeded the grip threshold of the tyres. Which can and does happen to the best riders in the world.

Why do you wear a helmet if you're such a good rider? You should be able to avoid all accidents all the time.

>>16804442

I don't know about your region but here the highways are actually a bit curvy. 200kph or more and you're looking at actually leaning quite a lot around the bends.

>>16804667
highways where i live are twisty they are just shit quality, the freeways are too straight though, you might find a bend every couple of kilometers and cops hang out on both of them.
much rather ride on back roads, see more things, roads are more fun to ride on, next to no chance of cops and if you do see them they are driving a ford territory.

Looks evenly distributed.
Failure mode of anything not FG reinforced is pretty spectacular, though.

>I KNOW WHAT I GOT

AN OVERPRICED 90's VTR750 WITH 80K ON THE CLOCK, A BROKEN INDICATOR AND IT NEEDS A FULL SERVICE

$8K AND DON'T EVEN TRY TO TALK ME DOWN

I usually assume it's a guy whose wife has told him to sell his bike so he gets clever and puts up an obnoxious ad charging double value for his shitter.

Why would you buy one of those when the 954RR exists?

>>16805067
But who took the picture?

>>16805069

It dirt cheap and fast. But srsly I bought it for that ass.

>>16805069
why would you buy a 954 when the r1 exists?

>>16805069
why would you buy that when the zx9r exists

>>16804944
That sounds about right, I like the ninja 250, it's fun to fuck around on. do it faggot!

954RR is the quintessential big bore street sportbike of the era.
Small/compact, light, comfortable, fueling of the gods, good brakes, good chassis and suspension, usable power, frieght train running down hill tier reliability, etc.

Sure the GSXR1000 made a tiny bit more power. But was a much less liveable and comfortable bike on the street. It was also heavier

The R1 made less power and was heavier, had worse throttle response/fueling, and had worse suspension.

ZX9R made significantly less power than the 954RR and had shittier suspension and shit reliability.

Today the 954RR stackes up well against modern cheater 600's and the gixxer 750. it doesn't have the power literbikes started making after around 2004 or so, but really it has enough power to get anyone in trouble in a hurry.

Tadao Baba produced a perfect bike.

/dbt/ im finaly wanting to upgrade to a big boy bike, currently own a vfr800 and looking to upgrade to a liter. Is this even worth it? because i dont plan on track riding, ust long trips and hitting the touge.

>>16805100
>Tadao Baba produced a perfect bike.
That name sounds like a pedophile name.

>>16805113
>Is this even worth it?
Probably not unless you are the type that has to scare the piss out of yourself every time you crack the throttle open significantly.

Really the power of a literbikes is largely wasted if you're not taking it to the track unless you plan on doing freeway pulls or something.

>>16805100
wth is a cheater 600

>>16803340
bikes are super cheap, your first bike is never your last bike.

You can always trade up or down, so don't feel too invested.

>he really, actually, seriously doesn't know who the father of the sportbike is.

>>16805128
600cc class bikes that don't conform to the 600cc limitations imposed by a racing class.

The Ninja 636 or Daytona 675 for example.

Really the gixxer 750 is along the lines of a cheater 600 now. That bike is just a gixxxer 600 with a stroked/bored motor. The 750 class has been gone since forever ago.

Also the Ducati 800 class bikes too. Because Vtwins a shit and need massive displacment advantages to be even slightly competitive.

tl;dr A cheater 600 is any middleweight sportbike that has more than 599cc's of displacement but is smaller than a literbike.

>>16805139
>675
daytonas get an extra 75cc cause they are missing 1 cyl. i think ducatis and aprilias in motogp get 1200cc instead of 1000cc bc theyre v4 not i4

>>16805142
>daytonas get an extra 75cc cause they are missing 1 cyl
thus the 'cheater' designation

>i think ducatis and aprilias in motogp get 1200cc
They don't.

Cheater liters are also a thing. See every ducati literbike since the 999

>>16805142
I don't follow the GP, but I'm sure pretty much all the manufacturers there use v4s there. Ducati use a twin in WorldSBK and they're allowed extra displacement there.

In what world would a V4 be a disadvantage? You are thinking about their V2s.
