I've had a KLR 650 for years, really good bike.
It isn`t fast though, and it is a bit heavy but for road use it cant be beat on terms of reliability.

You would need a 16-40 for highway daily use but it eats the already limited horse power.

Very reliable, I have ridden it without oil and just barely maintained the bike but it has never really let me down.

That one looks a bit old so you would have to go through everything and make sure it is still decent.

My first KLR 650 was a 2007 with 50,000kms on the clock.
It made it too 74,000 and was in brand new condition when I was hit by a car.
My second was an 2008 model with 70,000kms on the clock and I am now at 115,000kms.

I have hardly ever maintained anything beyond making sure there is oil in the bike.

>>16831285

Definitely got an electrical fault. Lights go out as soon as I touch the throttle after starting the engine, took 15 minutes to come back on. Stayed on after a restart quickly after, but a couple of hours off reset the fault.
Taking it to a proper mechanic tomorrow after work, and ordered a multimeter off amazon so I can fix it myself if needs be. I can do electrics.
Bike's a Honda CBF125, 2011 model.
This is the first actual fault beyond fixing damage I did falling off it.

You have a bad ground. Check the ground from the battery to the frame and check your repair manual/Google for a wiring diagram of your bike so you can locate and other ground wires. Clean them up with some wd40 and a wire brush. Should fix your problems.

What riding pants are good for cuckboi faggot hobbits with small waists?

It seems like all the pants here in burgerland are meant for giants or lardos. They all put the knee armour too far down the pants.

>>16832362
>sit down on bike
>knee armor moves
you can't explain that

>>16832025
>not subscribing to the no chain maintenance ideology
I took the advice of older riders who have had enough time to compare the difference between maintaining their o-ring chain regularly and not touching it at all. One guy's maintained chain lasted 12,000 miles. His unmaintained chain lasted a little over 8,000 miles but was changed early before going on a long trip. This was on a dual sport taken offroad, in the sand, etc.
A Primary Drive front/rear sprocket will cost ~$26 together. Primary Drive 520 X-ring chain is ~$55.
Sure, a maintained chain lasts longer and looks prettier, but that includes the cost of cleaner, lube, and the time it takes and the mess it makes (like in your pic).

So in the end it doesn't really matter all that much. You get a few extra thousand miles but have to get on your knees and pay ~$20 for it.

I don't care what your choice is, but know that it's really no big deal if you don't touch your chain at all.

>>16832362
depends on the manufacturer, some of the Europeans run slimmer. Some of the pants also have velco to allow you to possition the knee armor as you need.

enjoy your chain and sprockets not lasting as long, decreased fuel economy, extra parasitic horsepower loss, worse throttle roll-on/off response, not to mention my bike will look like shit and everybody will know im a lazy piece of shit

seriously is spraying some oil on it once a week really that damn hard? you can get 20, 30k+ miles out of a chain if you maintain it properly, a shitty chain that's not tensioned right and lubed often enough can go out in less than 5k

>>16832439
Let is snap and smash a hole in the case. Its so much cheaper then maintaining it, plus I dont waste 5 mins every week. I got far more important things to do. Like replace the case on my other bike when the chain punched a hole it it too.

>>16832420

With O-ring chains, you are lubing the sprocket, not the chain. That's why things like ceramic dry lubes are becoming popular. Spray on, wipe off, your chain looks clean and doesn't attract dirt, but your sprockets are protected.

>>16832303
This statement is inncorrect.

However the first gen TwinCam engine would explode around 25000 miles withiut warning if the cam chain tensioner wasnt adjusted/replaced.
Hydraulic tensioners extended this design flaw out past 45000 miles.

Moral of the story is, if you ever buy a harley, never buy a TwinCam.

Just so long as you faggots still keep the chain tension within spec and watch the chain wear. Last thing you want is your rear tire locking up on the freeway as a piece of metal slaps around wrecking shit on your bike before catapulting into the windshield of a soccer mom's Suburban, causing her to panic and forget which pedal is the break and which is the accelerator, leading to her running over you after your bike tossed you off.

Ey yo, anyone here own any aprilias or know if they are reliable bikes? There's one near where I live, a 2016 Shiver 750 for $7999, and I'm thinking of getting it.

>>16833053
They're about on-par with other European bikes like BMW and Triumph and significantly more reliable than Ducati. Engines are usually good as long as you keep up with maintenance they'll pretty much go forever and they don't have desmofuckyou valves.

They just came out with the Shiver 900 so you can get a good deal on their 750's as they try to clear old stock.

They don't have your 500 specifically, but if I had to place my bets I'd say for k&s gaskets 0705-0133 is your part number, and I could quote you for $21.95 from us on that. Just tell the guy it's on page 1369
For k&l gaskets we have those for 24.95 and those are on page 1370, part number 13-2701
Again, no promises but literally every single Honda from that year listed uses the same gasket

It has a lot of sentimental value, but for the cost of building it to where I want is about the same as just buying another bike, and I'm never going to fucking ride it again because my 701 is better in every way. A full build engine and body is going to run me at least $4000, I could get probably $2500+ parting most of it out and binning the cheap parts.

It would only get used for friends or if my 701 happens to be out of commission, which shouldn't be any time in the near future.

Ok, so say a CBR 300 has different ergos and a smaller version of a CBR 600 but with a smaller displacement.

Its just makes me wonder why the motor is half the size but produces less than half the power.

So I guess even tho they share a CBR designation theyre not really comparable in any way.

Modern 600s are crazy, what do they weigh on avaerage around 400 to 500 pounds?

Different goals. The 600s are heavily disposed to top end power for high speed performance, the 300s having as little power as they will anyways are worried about producing mid-range torque and having a light narrow bike so they're good in traffic. The more direct comparison to the CBR300R is the CBR650F, which is significantly closer to the same power per liter.

CBR300R is not a fast bike but in the real world at urban speeds it's not quite as slow as the peak numbers imply because it pulls relatively well in a wide range of situations.

They are comparable in terms of aesthetics :-)

>>16834354
not really. They all have angry-looking fairings but that's about it. Anyone with bike experience can spot the babby bikes pretty easily.

I know plenty of "geriatric" riders that put on waaaay more miles than you kiddo

Responding again just to say thanks, I called a local Yamaha shop about PU item listings, and they carry the kits. I've ordered one to ship in a few days. Wish me luck!

My meter at work is always a fluke. At home that 40$ autozone multimeter is good enough. At home we are not talking about getting hit with 100s of amps though.

I dunno man it's pretty good here most of the time, just been raining too much.

>>16834543
Honestly i had only ever used fluke so when i was looking at generic multimeters i was like wtf are all these numbers for. But it works for my little bullshit automotive stuff just fine or tracing circuits in my my load center at home. Yea if you got the money buy fluke but for hobby use you can lick that shit to see if its hot and prob be aight.

>>16834574
Yeah ive watched old timers at work pinch live 120v to see if its hot or not.

Me? No way man, even getting a little shock sucks
