I haven't ridden my motorcycle in awhile and since today was a somewhat good day, I thought I'd take it out. I noticed that the cover over the keyhole in the ignition wasn't there and thought great, someone tried stealing it but couldn't get it to turn. I then noticed the paint around the handlebars on the right was flaking and just thought it was due to the weather. When I got on I noticed that the handlebars were bent towards the gas tank on the right side too. I realized just how lucky I had been right there. I moved my bike into a storage shed I've been renting right after. I wouldn't say my city is shitty, just the apartments I live in. What are some effective ways to prevent this from happening again? Are disk locks something that would deter thieves?

Before I bought it I had heard people gushing about it and never really understood how it could be that good, then I rode it for the first time, that motor is a thing of fucking beauty.

Assuming SAM happens (it won't), does anyone honestly believe that it'll happen anywhere other than Tail of the Dragon (NC/TN border)?

I'm fairly surprised us least coasters won. I was actually looking forward to a nice long road trip out west. California scenery is objectively the best.

But there's plenty to see and nice roads around GSM national park, so that's my hope.

Very good taste, but they are really expensive, as an explorer owner i can tell you that buying a bike with 50 000+km/30000+miles is really not a problem, these things are built to last and the quality is incredible.

If you ever get your hands on one, pay attention to the first year (2012) bikes, they had two recalls ( engine noise and abnormal clutch wear ), wich were corrected from 2013 on, after that they are free from any issue.

Journalists are absolute shills about this bike, it surclasses the GS on everything except offroad, wich is retarded on a 200+kg bike beyond fire roads.

I ride it everyday for ~50kms all year around and tour on it on weekends, it's an absolute blast.

what do real life riders, and i mean real life i dont care about internet opinions here think of these bikes as beginner bikes

i rode on a motorcycle twice and learnt the controls now i want to get a bike to practice on than finish my licensing and get insurance on it

at first i really wanted a dual sport but ive been told you usually see older more experienced guys on them because they are tall and hard to control. ive been directed towards these and i feel a little turned down by the though of cafe racers and im not sure if these classify as one or if you fix one up they would than be called a cafe racer, but im still down to get one.

It's just a UJM. Most bikes used to look like that. Times change, so now most don't.

>got a track bike.
>got 2 sets of wheels
>one dry one wet
>have rear sprocket for each

how bad is it to keep changing rear sprockets for the chain?

i obviously use the dry wheel more than the wet so the dry wheel sprocket is a tad bit more worn. is it fine just swapping or should i start changing the sprocket too.

>>16921805
Ideally you want the chain and sprocket to wear evenly as a set, if you have a newer sprocket on a worn chain or vice versa it'll make them both wear faster.

1. you'll have no trouble starting on a dual sport, if you're over 5'8 you could probably flat foot a DR650 lol.

2. that bike is 100% literally a 1970s bike that's been given the barest of updates to make it 2017 worthy, so fuel injection and what not. (Actually they took the electric starter OFF it as well).

that's fine but you're paying 2017 money for 1970s design and tech, and they're not that cheap, for $1000 more than the SR400s asking price you can pick up a new FZ-07 or SV650 etc.

It'll be a great beginner bike but to pick that you have to care a lot more about what it looks like than how it rides, and that's not my style.

this is one of the more obvious examples, in all the cases I don't see why he does it though, I guess it's because riding doesn't look that fast at the normal speed but it's plenty fast riding, it didn't need to be sped up.

like, things just don't react that way, engines don't sound like that, suspension doesn't move like that, and cyclists don't travel at warp 9 like that.

>those wheels might give you a rough ride
where's the seat? are we sitting on the engine? that's how you burn to death
front forks need to be attached to the frame

So my clutch is now slipping shifting at high rpms and in instances like trying to power wheelie. I had a much more severe issue when I first put on some no brand levers but after adjusting them it was fine. I recently got the exact same levers just a different color scheme and an oil change. I even put the OEM levers back on and I still have the same issue. I hear that some people have slipping after changing the oil but I'm worried that it might just be the clutch itself. I used mobile 1 4t 10w-40w. Is there an oil that might allow the clutch to catch better or might I expect my clutch to be worn down at only 8500 miles?

>>16922328
what bike? an mt-07 clutch is only good for about 14kkm.

Does it work fine at low rpm?
sounds like a fried clutch plate to me

Adjust the cable so the clutch engages when you have the lever pulled almost all the way, the go for a ride again. If it still slips your clutch is probably shot.

The aftermarket ones have a screw that I had used to adjust the first aftermarket and make it work and I did the same to the second set. They can't be adjusted anymore. The oems are glued as apparently they find the perfect stop and glue it to make sure no adjustments are made.

>>16922368
OEM lever I assume
do you have a pic of your clutch lever?

>>16922361
I don't think you need to have seen another helmet cam video in your life to know that isn't right, everything about it is uncanny because the acceleration of gravity is more intense in the world of sped up video.

If its got little oil in it and sucks to start and smokes your crank seal is probably leaking. Also would be why your plug is so covered in shit. It is easy to change them and it will run pristene adter that.

>>16922442
I'll add in those little details in CAD.

Aye, that's a big one; i'll make sure the forks don't collide as i refine the design.

Thanks peeps; I think that's all the obvious stuff.

i have one of these and its literally the greatest bike ever. i started on a sr125 and then moved on to bigger bikes but now moved "back" to 400 cc. its just so much fun to ride and its just so basic but does everything extremely well. it gets to highway speed easily and is great in the city. i went on long tours with it (furthest one was from switzerland to iran) and there never was a problem. because its so simply built you can pretty much do all the maintenance yourself.

>need to tighten the drive chain

what do?

Hay hay, I am looking to buy an old
BMW R1100RS motorcycle. Now I know from experience that their cars are quite okay if you can hold a wrench in your hand and a fat stack of bills in the other, but I have 0 experience with their bikes.

Are there any bigger known issues around BMW bikes? from what I've gathered, it's a 4 banger engine and is shaft driven instead of chain. No chain replacements or tightening, yay.

The one I am looking at apparently has some noisy lifters and puffs a bit of smoke when cold, I am suspecting the valve stem seals.

nah not really desu, you just take the pin out, loosen the big nut, move the little nuts on the back 1/2 turn at a time (do them both the same amount to keep the alignment), check the chain is tight enough (but not too tight, it should have a bit of play for suspension travel and what not) then tighten the big nuts on the axle back up again.

Honestly takes me longer on a BMX.

It's a "fighter" conversion, the front cowling has been removed and replaced with something. All the original parts come with it and it is not a crash victim bike like most fighter conversions are.
This one had some money beaten into it, the rear for was replaced for example and such shit.

>>16923126
they are good for wet roads true.

But nearing the end of their life cycle i noticed they tend to be rather unstable when not properly warmed up for an hour or so.

Supposedly other tires are better when it comes to that.

according to my local dealership/service place, the crack on my exhaust pipe was caused from rust completely eating through it, and that it can't be welded

can it be welded?
if not, what about muffler putty?

Literally just an axle nut and two adjusters to adjust tension. Get the appropriate size 6 point sockets and a ratchet and break them loose.

Hell or just replace the chain without adjusting. It will be loose but it will be better than a janky kinked chain fucking up your case and swingarm.

Really if someone want's your bike, they gonna get it or fuck it up in a way that's going to cost you money. Your best bet is to put it in secure storage, in a garage, behind a locked gate. Failing that get a high quality disk lock, and a big fucking chain and ground anchor of some type (concrete block drilled into the ground is good)

R3 is a better bike, but you'd still be better off just getting something used for cheap on Craigslist.
You can still finance the bike by taking a loan out from your bank or credit union.
You will regret buying a brand new bike as your first, there's a good chance it'll get dropped and even if it doesn't resale will be much lower than what you paid

Are they too lazy to do the crankshaft recall or what? CBR300R is a really good bike if you don't care about drag racing 300s. Pulls as well as the R3 until you get to the top end, really light, as good of clutch, gearbox and brakes as you're going to get in a 300 and a lot of people like the suspension and tires better than the R3.

I wouldn't pay as much for it as an R3 but you shouldn't need to.

>>16923769
Long time no see m8. Spring is pretty good and im just starting to give a little tune up on the old vfr.

whats better for fun in twisties and comfy in long distance?

Ninja 650 or CB650F

>>16923769
That the girl you dating now?

Lets hear them stories.

>>16923769
>The start of 2017 spring street cleaning is planned for Sunday April 9
Could be better but oh well

>>16923806
I don't like the cbf650, it feels jerky at some speeds.

the ninja obviously outperforms on longdistance due to fairings and windshield.

How reliable is a quick-release buckle?
Alternatively, how much of a pain is fastening a D-ring in gloves?

>>16923890
why not fastening it before putting on the gloves?

Anyways D-Ring is always preferable.

any update on SAM or was the survey re-do with timestamps the last one?

is this the most aesthetic music video ever?

>>16923890
>in gloves
Don't even bother

Had both, quick release is easier but D-ring will last longer

Happy to know fampai! Any pics of the VFR? I'm always lurking, but I don't post as often nowadays.

>>16923807
Not dating anyone seriously 2bh. Went back to tinder one night and got like 10 matches while drunk-swiping and smoking a cigar in my room. That one is a vet and is deceptively smart for how flamboyant her everything is. She likes dancehall and everything Jamaican. Kinda meh in some regards. I went out with this geek chick yesterday who was into DBZ and Star Wars and metal and so on. I think that one is likely to work out better. I invited her for a ride tomorrow, she agreed!

>>16923846
Wait so that means you still have salt around and shit?

>>16923864
Your pictures are the coolest anon.

>>16923896
Does the quick release wear out eventually, especially on a cheap-ish helmet?
Looking at a HJC FG-17 or an IS-17 btw.

>>16923904
East Coast won, again. The guy setting it up is now looking for specific locations so he can do the next poll.

>>16923916
Thought that would be the geeky one.

>got like 10 matches
No smelly ones yet?

>>16923917
it just never fits as well and its always an annoying lump of plastic below your chin.

Once you got the d-ring system figured out its perfect.

>>16923918
I feel bad for the west coasters, why don't one of you guys pick up the torch and start a westmeet?

My city uses very little salt, just a shitload of sand and gravel.

Unless you need to take a big ass shit. Then quick release is amazing.

I was going to post that the douche in that video looked like Vanilla Ice. Until I realized it actually was Vanilla Ice.
