Three weeks and your tire looks like this?

You are riding crossed up.

Hey guys, really wanting a new bike, and I want to do a scrambler/cafe build.
I can get a bike for cheap, but I was wondering if you guys know what the standard scrambler/cafe aftermarket parts will cost.
I know I want a seat of course, that's only like $100 or cheaper.
Maybe forks and rear suspension depending on the bike I get.
Handlebars are cheap.
Tires are a big one too, because I think I want some slightly knobby tires and depending on the bike I'll probably want new rims.
A new tank, probably.

I know it's pretty subjective to what bike I want for some parts, but I'd love to get a general idea for what some builds cost. Thanks.

Low speed you WANT to be crossed up, Highspeed and crossed up is bad for cornering.

Scrubbed strips from low speed is pretty meh.

you guys ever get burnt out on riding? I rode for like 5 hours on sat then rode for like 3 whilst hungover on sunday and I have no desire to even look at my bike for like the next week or so.

2010 gs500. it's mostly highway riding so i got it instead of a 300.

Hey, I'm not much of a player, but I had a question. My uncle just passed and gave me his old machine. It's mostly black and white, but it's got some pretty red accents on it. Sounds great when its working, but I can't keep it going before it dies. Might be a power issue? The model on the side is Yamaha P-250. Does anyone have experience with this?

>>16909299
No worst than a u-turn so hit good or kys cuck

>>16909306
clutchless downshifting is more useful on dirt or certain occasions where you need to get a quick downshift in and don't really have time to do the clutch and all that, just a quick dab of throttle and shift

it's no different than up if you do it right, and it's not hard

It may look nice on small photos on the internet but I guarantee you it will be a flimsy piece of plastic shit with shitty handling and a shittier gutless engine. How much are these? Chances are you'll be better off looking for a used 15-20 year old 500 like the GS 500, CB 500 or ER-5.

>>16909389

these in my country are 1650 dollars, the thing is that in my country its around the double of that im from mexico and it will be 31,000 pesos, which is alot m8, pay here sucks

>>16909408

GS 500 would be around 2000 dollars used 35,000 pesos,

>>16909411
Do you ride primarily on the road or off the road?
How long are your commutes?
Do you plan on touring? Lots of city riding?
Are you restricted in terms of power or engine size?

>>16909418
Is that just literally the first one you found or is it the bottom of the barrel with like 60,000+ km? In any case, if you can't afford that, you're better off saving up another year and then getting into riding.

>>16909347
Dbt is going to shill Japanese bikes, get what everybody else rides there so parts and service will be cheap.

>>16909426


i mainly just hang on the city no off road, just home to work and such

it will be my first bike so dont know about the engines nor power on them

yes thats the bottom of the barrel shit here is really xpensive, i wanted fucking keeway superlight 200 and shit was 2500 dollars, no way

>>16909445
Right. Save up for a year, educate yourselves on the bare basics of motorcycles, then buy a used jap and remember you'll want protective gear if you ride. Motorcycling is an expensive hobby, even more so in third world countries apparently. There's no point in rushing into it, and then a) losing all your skin and breaking your bones in a low speed crash, and b) having nothing but trouble with your cheap shitbike.

Not voting in your new pole because fuck your stupid shit.

>>16908760
The DRZ is a better bike in pretty much every way. Especially in the suspension/chassis department, riding offroad, and how fun of a bike to ride.

Only thing the DR650 has on the DRZ is that it is more comfortable on the highway.

>>16909001
I started on a 600 12 years ago and never went down...

>>16909494
>no replacement for displacement

>>16909503
Except a better motor, better chassis, substantially better suspension, lower weight, and almost the same amount of power.

Only reason to get a DR650 over a DRZ is if you can get one really cheap or don't plan on going offroad much and plan to be on the highway more than anything else.

>>16909507
>no replacement
>for displacement

>>16909509
Cool meme retard.
Fuck off nobike.

>>16909507
they're two different types of bike dumbfuck

>>16909512
They're both dual sports dumbfuck

last time I checked a dual sport is the same type of bike as a dual sport.

One is just old as shit (DR) and one is slightly less old (read ~10 years newer) with better technology/parts (DRZ).

>>16909507
Well the 650 is cheaper to buy new so you should be able to get one in nicer condition than a similarly priced drz.

Engine will go longer needing less work done to it. 650 definitely better for highway, 400 will definitely be better off road like every lighter bike would be.

>>16909520
>they're both dualsports

no.

>>16909520
>>16909511
Why are you such an angry cunt?

>>16909521
DR and DRZ used prices are about the same in my experience.

DRZ offroad is better not only because of the lower weight but it has about 2" more travel front and read and higher quality forks/shock.

>>16909526
No way, Dr's are like 70% the price of drz's. And yeah, everything that makes a bike good at off-road makes it worse on road and vice versa.

You're overheating it. Check your pressure.

Check the manufacture date. It might be old and time to change.

>>16909538
thats typically what happens when you ride hard and overheat the rubber.

If you're not riding hard it could be low pressures like this anon said:
>>16909544

Or you could just have an old junk tire.

'07 R1 rattles when I'm going between 20 and 35 mph, it's not the infamous R1 rattle it's much different. Happens when I let off the clutch occasionally as well.
Thinking it might be my cam chain tensioner.
Any thoughts?

>>16909557
Check wheel bearings and chain/sprocket wear/sticky links.

A CCT would be engine speed dependent.

If it only happens at certain road speeds its probably running gear related. Like wheel bearings.

Also check your head bearings.

Did you have your tires balanced last time you put them on?

Hey lads I'm in need of a bit of advice.
So basically 3 1/2 years ago I did my q-ride course but I haven't rode since as I found myself in a situation where I could no longer buy a motorcycle. Now I am finally in the situation where I can get one and have put a deposit on a 2015 MT-07.
Basically I am going to get my mate to ride it back to mine tomorrow and then I can try to get the hang of it in my own familiar neighborhood and around the shopping centre carpark near my house.
Is this a good idea or should I fork out $100 for a 1.5hr practice session?

(previous to doing q-ride I had about 30-40 hours experience riding a low powered dirtbike)

>>16910267

>>16910251
Too bad for you I guess :^)

He says that you need to learn to ride smoothly and to do that you have to start on a small bike because to go fast on that you will need to learn not to use brakes or let go of the throttle when there's no need for it. He also says that for a pilot going fast on a 125 on a go kart track is the same as doing 300kmh at Mugello on a liter, you will already be used to it by the time you'll do that.
>>16910259
You can do whatever you want but you'll never be fast or know how to ride if you use a big bike for commuting.

Filtering on my GS is a bit harder than on smaller bikes, as I need way bigger spaces to fit.

In the cities scooters outrun me with ease.

>>16910530
Now it is only a bit harder to ride a GS instead of a scooter or <250cc bike. Really? I don't have a problem filtering and I have some wide dirtbike bars. The torque I get from a bigger engine is a blessing when I am doing stop and go up a hill.

That's the problem. Also 250kg doesn't help.

I'm not the one saying it's difficult, but on a smaller bike it would be easier.

The S1000XR, if it has the small turning radius of a GS, would be better suited for cities.

>>16910847
No, most group rides I go on just take stop signs as a group (everyone stops then goes at the same time), and if you're in a group ride too big to do so you should leave.

>>16910847
Depends on the state. States like MN have a 'motorcycle road guard' law that allows cyclist to block traffic like cops on group rides.

should I get an adventure bike or just a standard naked? I don't plan on going off road. I'd just be using the bike for commute and weekend trips.

>>16910957
Adventure bikes tend to have really good luggage options.
But people will call you a poser because you don't do hardcore off-road on your adventure bike. If you don't care about what people think then an adv bike sounds great.
