Please say a prayer for k5 600 anon, who will never ever be able to catch up to the godmachine CBR125R

I want a bike but not a dirtbike. Just a normal starter bike. Live in AZ so dirtbikes are the majority anyway. Craiglist: https://mohave.craigslist.org/

Thanks

>>16859970
I change the oil at least once every year which is what the service manual recommends (or every 10k but I never hit that in a year)

>>16859974
Alright. Is there any white smoke from your exhaust at all?

Did you notice any dips in power in any rev range?

Any changes in the clutch, as it shares the oil from engine.

Also try getting some fuel/carb/injector cleaner through it as there might be gunk in your engine or other parts.

For about 2 seconds when it first starts up but I'm pretty sure that's just moisture in the exhaust. No smell and it's really humid where I live.

None at all
>Any changes in the clutch, as it shares the oil from engine.
Nope

I'll give that a shot. Thinking it might just be the oil sensor if it goes away once it's warm (like 40c oil temperature).

if you listen to /dbt/ you'd imagine there are fuel injection and water cooling systems breaking left right and center on motorcycles lol.

>>16860020
My bike does the same thing, goes away after like 30 seconds

>>16860019
Air-cooled is fine, but the odds that you burn oil or overheat or are greatly increased

>>16860020
If you don't ride the bike much the oil settles, gunks, clumps. Once warm it returns to normal. Does it idle lower than it should when you are warming it up?

The cleaner can't hurt, but from the sound of it it's probably an oil issue which the cleaner can help with to clean the engine/carbs/injectors out.

What do you ride?

I don't think a 20-year-old carbed 4-cylinder supersport would make a very good starter bike anyway.
>inb4 its fine
sure. It is doable. It will just be a pain in the ass than it's worth and it will be harder to ride than typical babby bikes

It's a typical mid 90s supersport. Don't get too hung up on the Rs

That's not what I'm sayin'. I've had tears in my hoses and shit. I mean, I get that it's not a huge issue, but there's something weird to me about trying to ape the style of old Indians while sticking a huge radiator on there.

old indians were technologically advanced for their time, they were trying to make the best bike they could with their technology available.

What's weird is recreating the style of an old indian now and having it be air cooled.

>>16860083
To add: I think they use thick synthetic oil which could be messing with your sensors, prop it upright next time, llave it for a bit then start it up and see if its the same.

>>16860092
I've had hoses break on me at bad times on my liquid-cooled bike, but have yet to see any melted pistons on the air-cooled.

>>16860098
Give me break. There's nothing "technologically advanced" about the Polaris Indians, and I don't think anyone is ever going to view the brand that way.

My travelling companion on the TAT had the 80 and it was huge. He carried all of the communal gear and it still wasn't full.
I want to keep it high speed / low drag and incentivize myself to pack as light as possible. Even if you pack down the 80 when it's not full it's still pretty bulky.

My Giant Loop was 60L which I think was the perfect volume, but it's not waterproof without internal bags. I'm planning on getting the Mosko Nomad tank bag when they finally release it which is larger volume than the one I had before.

I actually packed a months worth of food for two people and a stove, and we each brought a Helinox chair. We ended up eating a lot of McDonalds at gas stops and only eating half the food, but it fit in my pack. In the future I'll just bring one meal per day since eating out is too tempting.

I have the Helinox Ground chair which is small as fuck and doesn't sink into sand/mud.

For stove and food we had an MSR Reactor, specifically because it's super efficient at boiling water and doubles as a coffee press, so you basically never need to clean it, just rinse off coffee grounds, because for food I mixed up a ton of Ziploc bags of "just add 1 cup boiling water" instant rice and potatoes with seasoning. Just boil some water, pour into ziploc, wait a couple minutes and eat it right out of the bag. Was crazy efficient.

do not get a double bike caddy, its simply unsafe and the small rigs will be dangerous to drive with that much leveraged weight off the back
and yes for sure add a transmission cooler, its cheap insurance for a really expensive failure

they should make a 2 bike caddy with a single wheel with a shock to take some of the weight. that would be cool

>>16860328
Just get a Tacoma, it's best of all things. Can tow, can carry, can put a cap on it and make it an overland vehicle.

I had a drz, a YZ125, and a tiny 3 rail trailer so call it 800 lbs, maybe 1000 max, set the cruise at 65 and it went fine, any more than that it was working really hard. And this was all in the flat (lolmidwest).

I've also used one of those bike caddies, but only for one bike, it was fucking great though I imagine two would put a lot of stress on it. Have you put any thought into a small pickup (Ranger, S10, Tacoma)?

I was comfortable at around 70mph with 15/39 gearing on mine, which was totally livable but not as much fun for hoonin as 15/44, which I was only comfortable with about 60mph. I went on many long highway trips with no issues, but it was more stressfull than other bikes because you feel the need to micromanage your RPMs.

>transportation
it's just around a small college town, reaching a max speed of like 55. i can hoon to 80 on roads on the SV but apparently cops actually care about speeding up there

>>16860439
if you're making thousands of feet changes in elevation in one day, you will need to reach down to the mixture screw and richen it up (add more gas) because the air is thinner. for 99% of people this is not a problem.

the drz can hit 80 as well. cruising 55 is no sweat for it

>>16860415
>i heard that you have to put oil in the tank as well?
That's for 2 strokes, the DRZ is a 4 stroke like just about every bike you've ever seen on the road
>how do carbs work
You clean them once ever year or three and if you replace your intake/exhaust you have to change the jets, they're not that bad, and you don't need to know how they work to maintain them
>would use it as main transportation to/from college/work with going out into the woods on the weekends, would the drz400 suit that or is there something else that would fit better
I did that with my DRZ the whole time I was in college just about.

>>16860439
>i've heard that you have to "adjust" carbs on the road sometimes
There's an idle air adjustment screw on them that you need to move a couple clicks if you change elevation by several thousand feet. The first time you take your carbs apart you'll replace this with a thumb screw, or you will have a pain in your ass
You have to pull the little choke lever out to make the bike easier to start in the cold sometimes
>transportation
DRZ is actually great around town and tons of fun, the SM version really shines in the city because you're never going highway speeds anyways and can see right over cars, and you're probably not riding long enough for the thin/hard seat to get annoying at all

>>16860459
in 2003 they changed the ACCT (automatic cam chain tensioner) so that it doesn't wear out the cam chain prematurely, pretty much the only change they ever made to the bike besides the graphics

The SM model has expensive suspension and street wheels and tires that's highly desirable if you spend most of your time on the street.
The S model comes with dirt wheels and tires that you'll need for any real offroading.
The E model comes with hotter cams and a different carb and so makes more power, but isn't street legal from the factory.

>>16860473
can you take the SM offroad, if not what would you need for riding trails?

>>16860477
You can take a Panigale offroad if you want to, it's just how much suck you're willing to deal with. You can also buy a second wheel set and swap them, which is what I dide. Pic related is my SM with E wheels 3000 miles from home.

If you're just going to be cutting down dirt bicycle paths on your way home from class like I used to, nothing.
If you wanna do a little more than that, you can get some dual sport tires for the 17" wheels.
If you wanna do real offroading get a second wheel set and soften up the suspension as much as the adjusters will let you.

>>16860483
If you put SM rotors and the same size sprocket on the E wheels, you can swap them in about 15 minutes without changing the chain.

You could also get SM wheels for your S but the front brake and suspension will suck on the street comparatively, and the wheels will cost twice as much, but you're going to pay extra when you buy the SM compared to the S.

She doesn't ride her own bike, just with me, she's only 5'1" so can hardly touch the ground on even small bikes.

The break up fucking killed me, if I get her back, I'll be over the fucking moon.

Alright you lost it. Pro Tip: Being hell bent on making that happen will A. Decrease the chances of it actually happening and B. Make you even more crushed if it doesn't happen.
Stop thinking about it mate, stop trying to make it happen, stop worrying about it.

>>16860583
Many old white men fetishize beer because liquor is for alcoholics but they still need something socially acceptable to numb the pain of their wasted life.

>>16860591

I'm not actively pursuing her, or chasing her.

Just letting whatever happen, not forcing anything.

So I want to buy a cheap motorbike ninja 650 or sv650 how do I get a good deal? I signed up for costco because some salesmen talked me into it (It was absolutely insane. I've walked out on multiple dealerships, banks etc and some dude at costco has the perfect pitch. And claimed I got a discount at the local kawi dealer. Went to the local kawi dealer, asked for mah casco discount which he went no we don't deal with Costco but I got a deal for you today. (6500?7000? I really don't know, It's been a while. I then the next week got quoted 8.5-9.5k in the bay area for the costco price.
What is the current old sports bike that I should buy new in cali or current "deal" for a sports bike in cali to learn on before I buy a zx14-r from kawi? ? Is hyusung a real brand yet

Is that a thing? The way the costco worked was we refer you to the local dealership where they had to look at my card and fax information to "hq/corporate" to get me my deal. They must have charged costco on that transaction but they wouldn't give me a price over the phone. Because you have to come in.

>>16860814
Oh... The kawi dealer had a way better price.

Their cards have "discounts" that are valid at other retailers.
>The way the costco worked was we refer you to the local dealership where they had to look at my card and fax information to "hq/corporate" to get me my deal
The local dealership didn't have an actual deal, they tried to price me at the I just retired how much are you willing to pay for a bike price.

Between my fits of anxiety and depression, i’m often thinking about possibly the worst purchase i’ve made. Twice a day if i’m lucky, i almost become a human crayon. When its warm, its hot. When its cold, its freezing. When I’m on the thing, i’m wrapped in kevlar, and leather both of which seals me in a scent of my own liquids. A cbr500r, its not fast, it doesn’t handle well, the exhaust sounds generic; without any character. And it isn’t even a good commuter, at least for my situation. The ride to work and back are between roads far too narrow to filter, when it rains it feels as though rocks are being pelted at any exposed skin. On top of that, insurance is way too much for something i ride occasionally at most because i “need to charge the battery, and get fluids flowing every now and then”. But just when i want to sell it, like an abusive relationship, it drags me in, even after everything i told myself. “One last time”. Its cliche, passing radiant sodium lamps in the dead of night, wearing nothing but a t shirt, and shorts, ripping through streets at dark, the t shirt you wear comes alive, as ripples, the fabric waves about. There ain’t nothing like it, you can touch the bitumen, scrape the sole of your shoes against it at speed. It's all so real, so alive, so liberating. Now why did i ever want to sell it again?

I really wish Honda would bring back the tricolor paint scheme. Like Gixxers have their metallic blue, the tricolor is Honda's "thing."

its still not exactly hard to maintain a chain

I want to get one of the DanMoto full exhausts for my CB300f... The stock one heats up like a bitch because of the onboard Cat and it weighs a ton. Does that make me a ricer? I'll probably try and repack it right away though...

>>16863333
It's not, but a shaft don't give a fuck about the weather.
They're ideal for year round commuters

I did a test ride on an sv650 the other day and it was really fun, i thought it handled very well. Does the sv650 have good handling, or am i only impressed because I'm used to my fz09 which is considered to have not so good handling?

>>16863359
latter, unless it had its suspension swapped for a gsxr

>>16863355
water doesnt bother a chain either.

Shaft-drives are good for

>loooong touring (like vacations to other countries long)
>Longitudinal engine designs (Boxer, longitudinal V-Twin)

other than that its expensive, heavy, expensive to fix when broken, makes working on the rear wheel harder and costs engine power.

>>16863414
fo sho

my father used to have an old school gold wing took the rear wheel off for him so he could take it to the shop and get the tire changed

what a pain in the cock, I could remove the rear wheel of my aprilia in about 1/3 the time

>>16859935

>makes working on the rear wheel harder
What? Why?
It just 4 bolts for the wheel and two for the brake.
With the 1200 just the wheel bolts and it's off.

>>16863325
Damn looks good, worth a trip if it's just a few hours away I'd say

Yes.

>Caring what other people think about you and your bike
Think for yourself anon. If you're okay with a piece of shit bike with a piece of shit exhaust, go for it. Your money, your problems.

>>16863489
looks legit

>>16863481
>Motorcycles are impractical for commuting
Not really, they're actually really practical for commuting.

>>16863481
>>16863484
I'd like to have one, they're pretty cool senpai

>>16863472
Looks nice, you should request more pictures to see what condition it's in.
I don't know a lot about older dirt bikes or enduros but it looks pretty good to me.
250 would be enough power I think

>>16863456
Hilarious

Scottoiler or Tutoro? Cheap + no vacuum lines or wiring is aiming me towards the Tutoro, but I'm not sold on the weight-wobbling mechanism actually working worth a damn.

>>16863501
looking for a 650 but as a student without a job I'd settle for smaller displacement I suppose

then who knows what i'l be doing in the summer may have more cash.

>>16863511
i really don't recommend a 250 dual sport

I was gonna suggest sv as well but if he's a broke ass nigga he may not have a truck to haul a bike that isn't already rideable.

>>16862842
The only remaining selling point of the CBR600 is making new colour schemes, they're in low demand and they can't afford to change anything else, literally the only reason to buy a new one is because you can't get the same look used.

>>16863343
Just use the horrendous, 2nd degree burning heat as a theft deterrent.

>that feel when I have to run the hose over the exhaust for like thirty seconds to cool the exhaust down enough to put the cover over it when I'm in a hurry

How retarded is this guy?

If I lived in the area, I'd buy that bike for $800, spend 200 on new carbs (if they were too fucked up) and fork seals and sell that shit for like 3 grand.

>>16863156
you arent riding stupidly enough.
