Don't preload the lever, that'll cause the transmission forks to rub on the collars and wear out. The trick is getting that sweet spot just before engine braking where there's very little load on the transmission. This shouldn't cause any damage unless you take too long to shift or you aren't in that sweet spot.

It is but such is the price of FASHION

>>16916843
Allegedly the colour of pretty much everything besides helmet is statistically insignificant. White is the best helmet overall because most motorcycle collisions are some cunt turning in front of you in the city or whatever but dark colours are actually more visible on open highway because the backdrop becomes the sky and hi-vis yellow and orange are better in certain lighting/weather conditions. On the other hand fluorescent clothing is supposed to make a difference in low light and reflectors in the dark. (probably whenever there's headlights involved really, some places still don't have daytime running lights)

>>16917223
No, but Yamaha does.

The Vmax exists.

Literally why would you buy a Rocket if you're in the market for the retarded segment that is pigfat muscle cruisers when Yamaha makes one that is far superior?

>>16917290
FZ09 is just as good as standard street triple. Has a better motor and slightly worse suspension. Still costs less.

XRS900 is better than the street triple R and costs less.

GSXS1000 and FZ10 is FAR better than speed triple.

GSXR750 is FAR better than Daytona 675.

Triumph a shit.

It is an engine that powers a sportbike in a certain price bracket.

What the fuck does it matter that it's a 4 cylinder?

Are you seriously trying to justify giving the Daytona a handicap because Triumph was stupid enough to use the wrong engine configuration and overpriced the shit out of the bike?

GSXR750 and Daytona 657R are in the same class and the GSXR750 is a far better bike for less money. Deal with it britbong apologist.

I'm picking up this bike tomorrow and riding it home. Going to be about a 20 mile ride, and it's forecasted to be raining all day. I'm a little nervous DESU, any tips? I'm not used to riding a cruiser.

rip shivvy

>>16917591
don't try to engine brake
it's more pronounced on vtwins and in the wet you can break the tire loose kind of easily
don't try to corner as aggressively as on a sports bike if that's what you normally ride

>>16917591
They are easy to ride, but a little heavy. Just cruise and chill man. I LOVE riding my cruiser. More than the sport bikes. The sport bikes can be fun, but man, just hopping on the cruiser and riding around is so much fun. It's WAY more comfortable. It's a better ride. It's just a chill way to enjoy motorcycling.

I really wouldn't be concerned about mileage as long as the bike was maintained well.

>>16917745
got em gud!!

Why do so many of you think the only metric on what makes a good motorcycle is how fast it is? I feel like the majority of people who hold these beliefs probably have never been on a bike.

>>16917711
They're both ninjas. There's an 06 sv650s with 5400 miles for $3500, although it's a bit damaged on the sides.

>>16917731
I think I'm leaning towards the 300. I'm thinking I can just sell and buy another bike without losing too much money if I start feeling the 300 is not enough.

>>16917614
I am that guy and I have no shame. Being seen as a massive cunt on the road is 70% of owning a sports bike

>>16917775
Because it's just nobike bench racers and numbers are the only thing they found on the internet, so that's how they judge a bike.

>>16917766
according to the 2014 WSBK championship trophy it won, according to comparisons with other superbikes where testers consistently place it near the top, according to it just being a better equipped bike in general than something like a CBR1000. It was even used as a basis for Aspar and PBR Aprilia motoGP team bikes.

On what metrics are you basing your opinion of it being outdated?
>oh well it looks the same

Im not asking this in some smug way or being a faggot but I am legitimately curious:
Why does anyone buy a 600cc sportbike anymore?
Modern liter bikes weigh almost exactly the same, handle almost exactly the same, and accelerate much quicker.
Granted liters are more expensive and insurance penalties are harsher, but you generally receive a better quality motorcycle with much better parts than their 600cc brethren.

>>16917806
Because you literally do not need the amount of power that a liter bike provides unless you are primarily riding on the track, and because they are more expensive. And because it's way more fun to ride a slower bike nearer to its limits than to ride a fast bike at about 20%.

That was the day I bought the bike, I took them off I think that day. They're back on now so I can use the bags though.

>>16917829
I personally don't like rsv4 or Aprilia because they have shit QC and their bikes are more prone to problems than a 1991 Somalian child.
I had multiple friends that went to MMI in Arizona who could spend hours telling me about the issues they saw on a daily basis with every Aprilia that came through the bay door.
One of my friends and an instructor both had two separate occasions where an assembly tech at Aprilia had left a tool in the crank case or transmission that had beaten the bike apart inside 100 miles.

>>16917837

It says $4000 now, but there were 2 previous ones that were $3500 by the same guy so I'm thinking I can talk him down to probably that or less.

>>16917854
Mostly cosmetic updates. Still the same engine and frame underneath. new fork/triple/front wheel though

>>16917783
You definitely can, they hold their value really well. For me since insurance was directly based on engine displacement the rates were better for 300.

>>16917827
Nicer console, nicer design, more features.
I don't understand why anyone would buy a 2016 R6 over the 2016 R1S (base model).
20lb weight difference, way better dash/console and the R1s updated fairings look way better than the rehashed shit R6 has been slanging for the last decade.

Okay so here's the straight scoop on the digital speedo. It's somewhat hard to read in bright sunlight and it's placed just below my eye line so I have to tilt my head down to check the readout. To remedy the hard to read problem you just tilt your head down and to the side and look at from an angle. You get super used to doing this and don't even think about it anymore. And if you're sticking to cruisers quite a lot of them have their speedos on the tank so you'll already be used to glancing down in the future. You'll also get used to knowing generally what speed your in each gear and what not, at least higher up.

Any more Bolt questions please let me know! I never get a change to talk about it on here.

>>16917775

Bolt poster here.

Mods:
- Original owner put a Vance and Hines Competition Series Slip On Exhaust. What he failed to do was add a fuel pack so the thing pops like crazy on deceleration. The best I've heard the Bolt sound was a guy who had his straight-piped. Loved it. But honestly I don't care too much about how the exhaust sounds because I wear earplugs and often listen to music so other than parking lot posturing exhaust means little on the road. I do love v-twins though. If you decide to get an aftermarket exhaust buy a fuel pack and a new air filter for the best results.

- For the love of god buy Mustang (or any aftermarket) seats for you and your passenger. You won't last longer than 45 minutes before your tailbone is screaming with the stock seat.

Throttle Discipline: I came from a 650 inline four standard ('84 Nighthawk) before hopping on the Bolt so if you've ridden a bit on a real bike before you will be fine. A v-twin has a little bit more punch off the line but after that its smooth, linear sailing. I wouldn't worry about it. Just take a few miles to get used to the different engine style and increased CCs.

It's absolutely not a rocket ship either. After one year and 6k miles I'm already looking for an upgrade.The Bolt is an excellent bike if you don't need to hit the freeway though. It's just above 60mph you, as the rider, feel a little buzzy and stressed on it. The engine feels perfectly fine, but the riding experience leaves you wanting more power and protection.

Keep the questions coming!! I feel useful for once.

>>16918269

I just put the first tank of 91 shell in it. I want to pull the plugs, check the airbox, and if those don't work, clean the carbs. I'm not looking forward to pulling out four carbs and cleaning them.

What could that front fork be? Is something loose or is my brake causing it? What about the engine?
If it helps, it idles at 1000 until it gets to operating temperature. Then bumps up to 2200.

>stoplight racing
The power isn't even that much of an issue there. It's mostly in how good your reaction time is and how good you are at feathering the clutch to keep accelerating hard but not going into too much of a wheelie.
Redlight racing is for scrubs anyway. Meet me on the touge.

>>16918574
vfr800 is VTEC, not sure about the 1200 version. I believe the mechanism is the same, a slider pin engages the additional cam. Problem on the earlier model is it jitters at about 7k rpm which is about town riding speed in second or third. Makes town riding a pain in the ass as it drops in and out of VTEC. The later models have a revised version that comes in around 7.5k and drops out at 7k or thereabouts

>>16918574
CB400SF, VFR800 from 2002 onwards, NC700/NC750 (leftover from the Jazz engine that was cut in half).

Its not even stoplight racing and to be honest, a 600cc is probably a little easier to launch with stock gearing.

>>16918521
That's a lot of stuff to check out. But I'll have to do it. Thanks for the advice.

>>16918610
for the fun.
Also the close internal gearing ratios on 600s generally suck for all-around street riding.
>stock gearing: revving over 6k just to go 70mph. Not great for highway cruising
>lower gearing to launch easier: even revvier and more annoying on the highway
>raise gearing for more comfortable highway riding: deal with even worse launches through first gear
Also not much power to do really anything below 6k rpm

Do modern 600cc I4's have enough torque to lift the front wheel without popping the clutch?

I was being dramatic.
I don't mind shifting, but having to shift 4 times just to get to fucking freeway speeds on a 600 is not something I want to do. I would if I had to, but I opted to spend more money on a bike that didn't require that.
I like having enough power in sixth gear going 60mph to still get the fuck out of dodge of an erratic driver, whereas youre much more likely to need to downshift on a 600 because you're probably going to be riding a gear higher leading up to this event to not go deaf.

>You have 20k for a bike, do you buy an R6 or an R1M? Obviously the R1M
I buy two bikes which are not 1000s for maximum fun.

Being dead is the highest aspiration for a human being, who wouldn't want an eternal rest from a world full of faggots who think they need liter bikes to commute to work?

>>16918828
The speedo indicates over 130 but im quite sure its nearer 125. What model R1? I had an 04 before swapping to my K5 gixxer

>>16918835
they are, 1000s are only 15kg more

>all this 1000 vs 600 shitposting
>tfw no Daytona 1050
Goddammit Triumph, I want a liter triple.

Depends what you want it for and riding experience. I'd say a great step up to a larger bike but if you are going to get something bigger later on why buy new?

Your logic for wanting the 600 because it weighs less is completely flawless.

Just gonna keep posting my bike while you fags argue over liter bikes and 600s.

Where the fuck do these people come from?

>>16918676
Regular. I think you only need premium if the compression ration is high or something like that. All the big cruisers I've ridden took 93.

>>16918903
Well I unironically want a 530exc motard..

>>16918827
No. Get a 2006 sv650 for a third the price

>buy two shit bikes to make up for the fact he can't buy one good one

That's like saying "I fucked two 3.5/10's, I'm basically fucking a 7/10"

>>16918913
Shiet, we don't even have 93 in Oregon.

>>16917268
XSR900 has worse suspension and brakes and looks like a parts bin special hastily scrambled together to make some hipsterbux.
It's also eronomically inferior for spirited riding (upper body too straight up, footpegs too low).

>>16918693
Yeah, they only look good on traditional, or close to traditional, looking cruisers. I love them.

>>16918922
I had to drive to certain gas stations to fill up my Dad's road king when I rode it. I mean the engine won't explode but you get a pinging sound or some such thing if you use lower grade. Don't quote me on this haha.

>>16918843
2007 R1. Thing is a fucking beast. Graves exhaust, ECU flashed. Haven't dyno'd it but the guy that did my ECU flash said I'm probably in the neighborhood of 185~190 at the wheels.
I'd honestly never take this bike over 60mph in first unless I was trying to be retarded. Before I flashed it I could keep the wheel down pretty easily but with the flash I'd just loop it.

>>16918942
Yeah, pinging is from pre-ignition, this is bad.

>>16918921
I just spit coffee on my dog. Thank you.

I'm excited to get one this summer. Need to test ride it first though. Gotta lure me away from cruisers somehow!

>>16918968

I think MY2009 the GSXR/CBR/R1 all turned to shit because of different exhaust reg's (at least in the UK) I always wanted an 06-09 as I think they look awesome, but everyone I know here has an R1 and only a handful of GSXR's so I went with that.

Mines remapped to around 180 but the torque is unreal for a litre bike, from around 5.5k it just takes off. So good in fact Suzuki are still using a variant of the same engine 12 years on in the gsx.

Get yourself on a MK2 R1, the shorter frame means it pops up in pretty much any gear.

>>16918876
10kg isn't exactly nothing. But weight aside the 600 is physically smaller, they're narrower in the middle and have narrower rear tires and shorter wheelbases, which significantly changes how they ride.

>>16918576
>>16918680

a 600 is just as fast as a 100 up to around 60mph. Both are wheelie/traction limited in first gear.
Into second you're really battling the 1000 to keep the wheel down while maximizing acceleration where the 600 is typically pinned.

Past that the 1000 obviously walks away easily but really how often do you race that fast?

If you want a bike to haul ass and be fast on the freeway buy a busa.

600's are easier to ride fast and hard because you're not afraid of the losing rear traction with too much throttle in a turn like you are on a 1000. 1000's is far to easy to highside unless youre throttle control is on point.

A 600 you can dive deep and hard then throttle out from the apex with less fear of losing the rear end.

Keep the passenger seat and sissy bar installed so you can put on some huge sissy bar bags! Pack enough stuff and you have a free rider backrest.

>>16918964
A 750 would be cool, especially to make a track bike out of, I'm just not a fan of i4's.

>>16918980
I've been on 4chan since it started man.

I'm not proud of that though :(
