I'm not planning on installing the 48, I installed the 15 instead. 6th gear is basically useless though. I don't feel the need to shift out of 5th until about 65mph even when just cruising.

>>16822197
Prolly. Lumens are on a logarithmic scale though, so 7000 lumens is not twice as bright as 3500 lumens, only like an extra 1/4 or something like that.

Holy fuck thats a lot of god damn work. Ive already put 30 hours into this fucking it up, and i dont know what to do now. Im not paying $400 USD for a new fucking fairing.

Please tell me the fastest way to make this not look like shit (get the glossy black back) so I can sell my bike. I bought 80 grit sanding block but its doing literally fucking nothing on this because the scratches are so deep. I tried to put JB weld in but it just made it worse. What is the easiest god damn way to fix this please lord

>>16822337
Get some filler primer and layer it up, then sand it down.

>>16822337
Wet sand it. It literaly takes like 5 minutes to fix that.

Will replacing the Cam Chain Tensioners help with compression issues?

Also pretty much gauranteed it's "calculated lumens" or "estimated lumens" rather than actual measured lumens, meaning it's way off. Also it's in a reflector not made for that type of bulb so the light doesn't get focused. As a result you get a light that is extremely uncomfortable for everyone around but doesn't actually provide better visibility.

>>16822392
You need to wet sand with a flat object or else you will nevee get the scratches out.

>>16822405
Wrap it around the sponge and then sand like that. Don't put a shitload of pressure either, just let it ride along the top.

>>16822392
You fucking retard. Sand*PAPER*. Yellow is dry sanding, black is wet sanding. Also 80 grit is rough as fuck, you're just making it worse. No wonder you haven't succeeded yet.

Don't use so much pressure. Just take it to a paint shop before you ruin it completely, it's obvious by now you're clueless.

You can't tease us like that.

What is you guys opinions on brands of drive chains?

Right now I'm looking at some O-ring chains that are offered as kits and I have the option of getting a EK (650cc rated) or a DID (500cc rated) in the kit. The bike only a little 250cc.

>>16822542
Lol

>>16822581
Too old, do not want.

>>16822586
Just buy the pitch you need and links you need, also replace sprockets.

>>16822586
>650cc rated
What the fuck does that mean?
Just get an EK or DID that has the right size for your bike and has any type of rings (O, X, W they're all the same in the end) that comes with a clip type master link - unless you already have a tool for a press type link.

>>16822598

My buddy had one and let me ride it a bit before he crashed it and sold it.

It's probably the most aggressive cruiser i've ever ridden meaning and you can have some fun on it and corner pretty decently. That being said, it's inferior to the FZ-07 and 09 in just about every way, which is my buddy ended up getting an 07. If you like the cruiser aesthetic then it's a good bike. A little slow but it's fun. I'd get it if I HAD to own a cruiser

So my bike burned today.

I parked at 21:30, went to some neighboring friends (on foot) and came home at 02:00 after a couple of beers. At 5:15, I wake up to sirens and I walk out to the balcony to see the firetruck pulling up and my bike alight in a red blaze.

I live next to a football stadium so it was probably hooliganism, or at least deliberate to some degree. I don't know.

I don't know what to think, and it stills feel like a dream. The reality of the situation will probably hit me in a few hours.

As I said in the title, big shoutout to Honda, as the gastank did not rupture or burn. I had filled it yesterday and a full 16L (4 gallons) of gasoline did not catch fire. At one meter of my bike is a ground-level appartment where an old 80+ couple lives. Literally half a meter. Things would've been bad if it lit up.

Bike was a CB500F, country is Greece.

>>16822756

Insurance has up to 3000€ of fire/act of terrorism coverage. Don't know how slow the process is though, have you guys ever gone through something liken this before?

Does the damage look repairable? I think it looks like 3000€ worth of damage for sure

One more thing: I found it off the stand, like someone kicked it to the side (resting on the metal brace behind it). Either the fireman stood it on the other side or the guy that set it alight kicked it before

No noise reported by neighbors, or anything rowdy.
Also, who the fuck burns a motorcycle at 05:15. This is thief-hour, vandal-hour. I think it was deliberate

>>16822796
>Does the damage look repairable?
Absolutely not

>>16822796
Probably somebody that dosent like you

>>16822762
>>16822768
Don't think 3000€ is going to cut it, bikes are expensive in Greece. Time to get an older one.
It is a special pain because this bike was the only money I had made myself for two years, and it just burned and melted.

>>16822774
soccer? Yeah

>>16822784
Man as I live in a poor neighborhood I thought of electrical fire as the least likely suspect. I googled around and found very little photos of bikes after electrical fires
Is this something that happens?
If I parked it at 21:30, why did it burn at 05:15?

As I said, 05:15 is also witching hour around here. Thieves come out at that hour. It's too suspicious.

>>16822787
No idea yet, I do have terrorism/fire protection for half the bike's cost but how long do these coverage processes take?

>>16822794
Posted it in Greece and local city ledits in case anyone knows something. In a neighborhood of ~40 people that always seem to be in each other's business, nobody saw anything. Weird hour.

>repairable
Actually yes. And for under 3000€ if you can wrench yourself. It's gonna be a huge project, though. All metal parts (engine, frame, suspension, steering, wheels, brakes) are reusable after thorough cleaning and a rebuild. If the rubber gaskets around the valve cover and side covers are intact, the engine should work as-is after rewiring and replacing intakes, cooling system, all rubber parts and fuel injection. Oil change is recommended. Frame needs cleaning, repaint and new rubber and plastics. Wheels the same. Suspension and brakes needs rebuild and fluids replaced.

All parts used parts off salvage bikes:
>complete intake and injection ~300€
>computers, sensors and relays ~200-300€
>complete wiring loom ~200€ plus above
>complete fairings and other plastics ~500-700€ (or buy chinese aftermarket)
>instrument cluster and controls ~200-300€
>cooling system plastic parts ~200

As for brand new parts, all gaskets and rubber parts, tires, chain, battery, filters, bulbs.

Plus cleaning and painting supplies.

Government healthcare wouldn't do anything about the overpriced supply chain of doctors anyways

What are you going to do, make medical school cheaper, by slashing salaries for its employees, while demanding they do the same work, so students can pay less, and then tell students that since they paid less, they now get to earn less, while subsidizing additional students to increase competition in medicine and drive prices down even further?

I bought an iPhone instead of health insurance.

Taxation isn't theft, the university system is theft. The peole who come out of it demanding relatively astronomical earnings in exchange for their "value" is theft, especially since the only thing giving them value is how scarce their skills are, because the education is too expensive.

When you use taxes to pay for the services of the educated on someone else's behalf, america's fucked up tertiary ed system is indirectly ripping off the entire country, as if their textbook price fixing schemes weren't bad enough.

i'm going to drop a bomb on you. having a functional smartphone in america can actually be cheap as all hell.

I grew up in a normal white family. We used the latest and greatest budget android models that could play angry birds at the least with prepaid services like tracfone. We didn't chat on the phone for ten hours at a time and met people face to face for shit like that. The total cost for all five of us? About $200 initially, and then as low as $30 every two months. I'm well off now and I still use prepaid (but with unlocked phones instead of chinkphones) because it's so fucking cheap if you use your phone properly.

The poor people really could stop buying iphones

>BUT DEM ANDROIDS LAG A BIT AINT GONNA PUT UP WIT DAT, I WANT THE RICH PEOPLE THANGS, ALSO I USE 900000000000 MINUTES OF TALK A MONTH PREPAID AINT NO DEAL I AINT NO COMRPOMISER FUCK YOU WHITEY

>>16823467
Basically yeah. If you have sound knowledge on carbs, cleaning and tuning them, you should have no troubles.

But usually the "carbs just need cleaning" can be a sign of other problems and they just have NFI. It can also just only need them cleaned too. Mostly its the first scenario.

I'd at least do a compression check, its not hard to wind an odo over to make it have low mileage.

>>16823492
Ah ok, I figured it would be like a smaller car, essentially the endless rabbit hole of problems, just condensed and less time consuming.

because this bit of the frame here will crush like a coke can if you drop the bike onto a rock or tarmac.

I know because I've seen it happen right in front of me, and if you google this problem you will find a lot of stuff about it on forums, mainly from owners pretending this isn't a problem because of post purchase rationalization.(even from some who have had it happen to them).

I also don't see how it's anything like a sportbike frame because it's not an aluminium twin spar or steel trellis design.

Old mechanic here. You can do it if determined. Fires rarely bother anything beyond the peripheral engine bits they actually melt.

You may be able to get paid and keep the machine if your insurance company will allow you to deduct some trivial amount from the payout and let you keep the bike without changing the title to some salvage nonsense. YMMV since not in US.

Clean it off, take more digital pics than you think you need, then disassemble it trying to keep larger assemblies intact for convenience and hardware inventory. For example remove forks as an assembly. Wrap in plastic to contain dirt.

After completely stripping to the bare frame, degrease it completely then have frame sandblasted. I use monument shops because they use sand blasters to cut letters in gravestones and almost always blast on the side for cash. Paint or have powder coated as you prefer.

The nice thing about restoring bikes is you can often find wrecked organ donors, or if not, use Ebay since prices are often better than commercial salvagers though they also advertise there.

You need a factory service manual. You can find exploded parts views online. I suggest you get on BRAND SPECIFIC forums since you can find shitloads of specific info there and possibly parts. Post your burntpix for sympathy and do a build thread. I fit 1 1/2 Harley Sportsters in my military dorm room locker. If you are determined you can do what countless other bikers have done, and you can become your own mechanic which is fucking insanely wonderful throughout life.

You could use your insurance payoff to buy something cheaper to ride while taking your time with the project. No hurry means better result.

You can have that machine skinned out in a weekend, but don't molest until you get paid and own the wreck. Basically the whole job is an exercise in parts replacement.

They are nearly indestructible. I had that exact year and model but in red. I put ~50K miles on it only replacing chain, sprockets and tires. Valve adjustments are very rarely required and since it's a screw and locknut affair, no dealer or box o' shims required as on earlier models.

The carbs are easy to do yourself. Remove and inspect the fuel valve too as they are vacuum operated. You can replace them with a pure manual petcock if want.

Do not run pod filters. Stock airbox works well.

Fountain of knowledge:

http://www.thegsresources.com/_forum/index.php

Show up with 900/1K in cash. They aren't particularly valuable because not a meme bike.

>>16823467
Bikes are easier than car carbs and those CVs are simple to do. Vacuum fuel valves often kick owners (and some so-called mechanics) arses when diaphragm fails. Remove, inspect or replace with manual valve, and ensure tank is clean inside.

It's wildly unlikely the odo was tampered with or the rest of the bike would show it, and it doesn't. Looks like typical garage sitter.

Compression tests are a good idea. NEVER jump off a RUNNING car or da tiny bike regulator will an hero trying to regulate the cars output.

I see this kind of nonsense down by the beach. Skis and snowboards would be easier, but colder.

And people say the XR650L is a slow pig. What's the point of the Rally?

Shit would be cash

New riders that can't stand their first bike not looking like a BMW.

Gonna try this again...

Any of you ever ride a Yamaha Bolt? Thoughts?

>>16825028
Looks like a cruiser for faggots.

>>16825064
Ya, I like cruisers, deal with it.

>>16825070
as long as your sphincter can deal...

>>16825070
You wanted to know my thoughts, so I gave them. Don't be so butthurt about it.

>>16825079
Naw, I didn't want your thoughts on cruisers cause I don't care what you think about them. I wanted opinions from people who have actually ridden it and aren't likely nobikes.

>>16825091
>and aren't likely nobikes.

What are you doing here?

>>16825091
>He thinks anyone here actually owns a motorcycle

FUCK I JUST WANT TO RIDE MY BIKE COME THE FUCK ON

Naw I know some of you legit have bikes, not sure what the percentage is though.

I'm just sick of my 250, but im also poor and bolts are pretty cheap, and cruisers are cool.

>>16825028
Doesn't appeal to me, but one of my co-workers is losing his little toddler mind over it. And he's a BMW guy.

What does DBT think of my new bike? 2017 KTM 300 XC-W. And yes, it is a street legal 2 stroke. Took this pic out on a ride the other day.

>>16825260

>>16825260

>>16825201
Refer to the exploded diagrams on Partzilla
>>16825202
Just fucking buy it, then ride it places and take picks that make us wish we had your yes-bike life.

Part of being an effective cruiserCuck is cultivating a sense of your own style. The fact that almost every damn Harley on the road looks the same is a testament to the failure of American CruiserCuckdom. Don't be a fail.

I bought it to replace my good ol' 450x. Anyone in NJ area want to buy it? 1,500 bucks takes pic related CRF 450X and all the spare parts i have for it. (Exhaust, sprockets, bars, forks, filters, oil, odometer and more) WITH STREET LEGAL TITLE.

>>16825260
>street legal 2 stroke
What Euro fairy land do you live in?

Also, nice pic of said shitbike, other than the color cast. Did you press some "autofix" button somewhere? Good compo, though.

>>16825282
sincerely,
nobike

>>16825251
They are so fucking cool man, love they way they look, they sound great with exhaust, just too poor to buy one right now. Why do I have a $460/mo car payment, fml.

New Jersey...


Sorry for the color cast... whatever tf that means. I ain't no photographer so I just let my phone makes things look the way it thinks it should.
