Doing a full maintenance for the summer, new to me bike. Should I be worried about these metallic flakes in my coolant? Haven't seen shit like this on my car, aside from brown rusty stuff last time I drained it all out.

>>16970792
Flushing the coolant doesn't cost that much and is a good seasonal practice anyway. Even more so, if you don't know what's in there and when it was preciously replaced.
Clean the opening and cap. If you get flakes in new liquid start looking around.
While you've drained the old liquid, might as well have a look inside pump and check that the thermostat operates in pot of boiling water.
>>16970985
It's fucking snowing. I left baiku in the garage today.
I want a gsxr to add to my garage with my 899 panigale, but i can't decide new or used. I plan to use this bike on the street and track. If the previous owner of a gsxr 600 with say...3k miles was some fag that redlined the bike during break-in period - will affect the engines longevity or reliability or performance in any way?

Isnt that common knowledge? I've watched a dozen docos on motorbike factories and they all do it for new bikes.
Seems like a fucking great job, run her up to redline and hold it to assure the retards on the line actually assembled it right
Got around to buying a slip on muffler for my sv650. i plan on keeping the baffle on.
>>16971084
I wouldn't worry about it too much. You could do a leak down test or have the oil checked but in 3k there's not much that can go wrong. As others said, redlining is not much of a problem. It's worse when they went highway riding for a long time and held it at the same rpm. Still, these things are pretty idiot proof.

So guys
I think I am into cruisers.... I've ridden motorcycles in various places, on holidays and so on, but never owned my own (due to travelling job).
I wanna get something to play around with back home during summer, and like I said I think I'm into cruisers (why do I feel like im coming out?).
Anyway, I've been eyeing up a 1995 honda VT 1100 ace. But I'm afraid if it typically honda will be too sterile?
Another alternative is just to go all-in and get a HD. But the prices are obscene and it would have to be the sportster, as I think the bigger ones are too much flashy and chromy.
Can I be redpilled on HD.... If we could skip the obvious HD fanboys and haters, it'd be swell.
Thoughts?
>>16971687
>why do I feel like im coming out?
Because you are. Nothing to be ashamed of. But you're a faggot for wanting a cruiser.
>>16971006
Why did they ever use those ugly lights?
Is there a point in rebuilding brake components (e.g. sticky caliper and master cylinder) if you don't replace any parts? Or am I just doing more harm by introducing dust, marking metallic surfaces and straining rubber parts?
I'm Just pulling them open, inspecting for obvious damage (which there is usually none), cleaning all parts, lubing with brake fluid and reassembling.
>>16971687
Sporties are fun, get a 1200 of you go down that road, 883 gearing sucks for the highway. They have a massive amount of parts you can customize it with so you can make it into whatever you want.
>>16970963
XD guize instead of acknowledging that "Climate Change" may be responsible for anomalies like feet of snow in April let's focus on the semantics of the obsolete term "warming", that'll show those libcucks XD
>>16971687
tarbo vmax and you'll never need to change your front wheel
hd is just that because, while >>16971705 is right they still are heavy, underpowered dated sacks of shit
>>16971704
Just replace the seals and pistons? I doubt it's going to be much use otherwise.
Those parts should be very cheap.
>>16971664
>>16971525
I always tell idiots to wear full helmets
>>16971705
>>16971705
Yea I'm aware of the aftermarket for HD.
But what I want to know, how is the reliability? They have a reputation for being unreliable, which I'm sure has been fixed at some point in time, but what years would you avoid HDs? Would I have to get a fairly new one to avoid unreliability?
Also, because the price is higher than comparable jap cruisers, what am I getting for the extra money, besides branding?
>>16971717
>very cheap
Nope. But the main gripe is shipping time and possibility that it might not be it.
Like, what if i wait 3 weeks and pay 40$ if it could be fixed in a day for the cost of lost brake fluid. OTOH if simple overhaul doesn't help, will it do any harm in case new seals are on their way anyways?
>>16971729
Reliability on the evo motors and newer are very reliable, the unreliable harley days are long gone, that was early 70s and 80s. Price is mostly branding and then fit and finish. Try shit out and see what you like.
>>16971747
Well there's a chance you'll make the problem worse by simply continuing to use the already bad parts. The disassembly/reassembly shouldn't make a difference to that though, unless you fuck something up or introduce a pebble or some shit. If I were you, I'd definitely order a seal+piston kit. Those pistons look worn as fuck.

I want to buy a 50cc sports bike so badly. I don't have a motorcycle license and I can't get a full license until 24 (21 now) cuz yurop. I just want something to thrash and throw around corners.
Talk me out of it /dbt/
>>16971794
Can't you do the A2 (sub 50 hp) license?
>>16971794
>21 now
do a2
not like you'll spend 3 years benchracing and suddenly know how to ride a ss
>>16971807
>>16971814
I feel like I'm being jewed by the government if I get A2, and then have to take the exact same test only on 500cc for A. It's so fucking pointless.
>>16971835
*only on 600cc

Madman.
My number plate for my KLR 650 got knocked off more than a year ago. Still havent got a another one.
I get through police road blocks because the don`t see until I am through it.
Sometime they point at me to stop but I pretend to not have see them and filter fast right past them. I suppose maybe they just can`t be bother to fetch me.
I have run from cops only once. I popped a whoooooooly past traffic police at a robot. Just near my house I see another traffic cop car. They point at me and jump in to chase me. I pulled a 4 left turns where they could see me.
>>16971878
F4i. Just be easy on the gas, even when you think you're good, you're probably not. Keep that in mind and you'll be fine.
4k seems too much though.
>>16971971
Not really that mad.
I've only had to run twice, both times they didn't actually chase.
I was in SoCal desert, lots of straight, and I honestly didn't hoon too much near town.

Should have
My first bike was bone stock too, still loved the thing but just couldnt justify even a tail tidy on something I knew I would sell eventually.
I've found stuff with transparent body panels fascinating since I was a kid. Being able to see the internals of a machine is interesting, but having something to cover and protect them can be necessary or a great asset.
I'm wondering: why don't motorbikes have transparent body panels? Standard bikes are, like most naked machines, interesting to look at, but motorcycles benefit greatly from the aerodynamics of bodywork.
>>16971711
How is (((Climate Change))) responsible for "anomalies" like feet of snow in April?
>>16972119
I thought there were heat shields under the fairings
>>16972119
>>16972119
i agree
>>16972142
Me too
>>16972119
It'd probably be fairly expensive and I imagine being on the road would mar the transparent finish fairly easy
Also, circuit boards are fairly tidy looking and somewhat interesting; miles of wiring going everywhere not so much
Just get a naked bike based on a faired chasis
>>16972119
You're going to need some expensive or heavy stuff if you don't want it scratched up to hell from just riding.
>dealership is selling 2017 FZ-09's
>with my credit I could put like 2500 down on one and pay it off within 2 years, easily
I always said I didn't like dealerships, but I think I'm about to break my rule. Everything I've heard about the 2017 09's is that they're fucking awesome to ride even if they look kind of retarded.
>>16972148
>>16972177
Transparent wax is applied on body panels after painting, right? It's what protects the paint. Couldn't that same wax be applied on transparent fairings?
>>16972128
I had no idea.
>>16972119
Nice thing about motorcycles is you can pull most of the shit off and don't even need the panels on, aside from shit that is holding oil/fuel.
>>16972210
Panels are great above certain speeds.

Just wore a suit and tie to get to job interview. Couldn't be bothered wearing leathers as it's less than 10 min ride at no more than 30mph.
I got a lot of funny looks.
>>16972254
Be careful anon, most fatal crashes happen at something like 25mph IIRC.
>>16972254
>suit and tie
eww
>>16972254
I've done that with just gloves, helmet, and coat, but I don't think I would squid completely unless I was just riding around the yard or something.

Yeah they did fix the suspension for 2017.
I have a '15, suspension is bad but still better than my old sv650's. Im 150lbs though so that probably helps.
>>16971895
I'd much rather drop a new 500F than an F4i.

>>16972314
Maybe, the turning radius is atrocious.
Even big adventure bikes look nimble compared to it.
>>16972315
The fuck are you trying to convey?
TL-1000 is slower than the SV-1000 because it has lesser technology.
I have a DL-1000 and my father had a TL-1000s
get a tiller faggot
>>16972335
>Maybe, the turning radius is atrocious.
how? i just googled this and everybody says its fine.
Do SV1000s have the riding position of sport bikes or the comfier one of naked bikes? Or are they in-between?
Will I regret a cb500f
>>16972366
It's a sportsbike, they all have a terrible turning radius.
For everyday use it might get annoying. My big adv bike can do a u-turn on small roads, the f800st needs to manoeuvrer more times. to do the same.
>>16971835
do what I did and get a learner legal, ride it on your CBT, then after a few months do your A1 test, so you can ride a 125 without L plates. Then you can ride it with a passenger/on motorways.
It's not that bad.
>>16972336
>The fuck are you trying to convey?
>TL-1000 is slower than the SV-1000 because it has lesser technology.
>I have a DL-1000 and my father had a TL-1000s

tl-s is 125chp
sv1000 is 125chp
tl-r is 135chp
tiller for win
>>16972380
it just a matter of technique, if the bike has a longer wheel base you just lean in the opposite direction to the corner (but still leaning the bike into the corner of course) motocross style.
>>16972372
depends what made you get it.
Is this a sportsbike?
Well this sucks. It's 65 and sunny. Rode the bike to work but now I'm stuck driving a tow truck for the next 10 hours and not riding the bike. Why you do this to me weather
>watch video on countersteering

DO IT
>>16972440

>>16972426

To anyone who's ever fantasized over owning a CBX, don't. Currently taking half the bike apart in order to swing the motor out on the lower mount, just to take the carbs out.

Always give it gas
>>16972583
just roll the throttle ever so slightly while idling?
>>16972587
Yeah, that's what I do when my bike is cold so it doesn't stall.
>>16972592
ithought fuel injection should always prevent this from happening though. Do I just have a shit FI system?
>>16972544

Alright lads so I kinda miffed up my bike last night. I loosened the bolts on the fork clamps/ triple tree to try and realign my front wheel a bit. It's been a while since I did it so I loosened all the pinch bolts on the clamps instead of just the top clamp. So when I started plunging down on the bars the clamps dropped about half an inch.
The plan to move em back up is just bang it with a rubber mallet. Any other ideas?

next time you need to straighten your wheel just do what every single person with a dirt bike does. find something to hit the wheel against till its straight.
>>16972913

>>16972913
You don't need a tv, just go on gogoanimu or kissanimu
>>16972790
yes, get a beercrate, get the front wheel of the bike up by pulling the handlebars and getting it on the backtire and sidestand, slide beercrate under exhaust.

I dreamed that I was forced to buy a ninja 650 when I really wanted a zx-10r. It felt awful.
>>16970530

Did they forced their dick inside you?
>>16973001
No I signed some thing that said I showed interest in the bike and then I had to buy it.

Ferrari does something similar: start engine, bring it up to temperature gently, gradually run engine to redline a few times while monitoring health, bring it down and cool, change oil and filter, ship it.

KLR 650

What do you mean by this? Is the F4i very peaky or something?
>adjust the rear brake down because I lock that fucker all day every day if I use it for anything but low speed

>barely moves fuck all before I can't move the nut any further because the wrenches are pushing against each other
Okay.

It has roughly the power to weight ratio of a 700-800hp sports car.

just buy a 750 if you're buying a gsx-r

why is this general so fucking shit
>>16973423
because of germans and italians, in general.
>>16973394
I wont sell the panigale, too beautiful and unique. It's my fav bike aesthetically. I can have both bikes so yolo 2 is better than 1.
>>16973394
Also, ya ill get the 750, i can't get a 600 which would be cucked by the 899
>>16973423
>>16973372
Fuckin' boomers with full adventure packages on their 25k 1200GS's with 5k of shit bolted to it so they can slap stickers of places they drove to onto their cases and ride 3 miles to the coffee shop are worse than the most obnoxious harley riders.
>>16973458
Why are Anglo girls ugly? I should be disgusted at them, not me.
>got new chain breaker and riveting tool
>new chain comes with both styles of master link
>install using clip type master link anyway
>>16973370
Indeed. I think Honda was the only one to do six separate carbs? Not sure...I know they had an older RC series that was inline-6...and of course they had the Valkyrie and the Goldwing but those are flat-6's
Nice vike
>>16973447
Get a 1000 fag
>>16973465
>are worse than the most obnoxious harley riders.
I dunno, I've never seen packs of adventure bikes with 120 db mufflers revving at traffic lights in the middle of the night while people are trying to sleep before.
and at least adventure riders don't actually think they're cool.
>>16973394
No bike giving advice
>>16973465
but they don't ride to bars and die on the way home or have deafening exhausts
why should I care if someone wants to go be retarded in the woods
>>16973402
2004 but yessir

You just have shit taste.

If I'm going to spend my early 20's all alone should I just kms
>>16973534
get some nut munchers on it or heat it up to loosen its grip
There is no need to be upset.
>>16973498
I can't I'm 24 and with no tickets or accidents the insurance on that fucker is still too high, already paying more for the ducati just cuz its a ducati supersport , the 750 will be good for me to stay out of trouble and still have immense fun at the track, I'm not Valentino
>>16973499
I work at a BMW dealership. They do indeed think they're the coolest motherfuckers around. But instead of being some kind of construction worker or tradesman or actual outlaws in a club like lots of Harley riders, those adventure riders I described are just rich old fags who want to maintain an image and talk down to people. The 800GS is BMW's actual offroad machine. The 1200GS is to drain a Boomer's pension and sit in a garage.
>>16973546

Daily reminder that CLIMATE doesn't equal WEATHER, and that localised extreme conditions such as heavy snow fall are well understood through science and don't contradict Global Warming in the slightest.
>>16973564
I'll be here all night, honey.
When you exhaust brake, does it pull air in? The mesh jammed in my DB killer makes a huge difference but I don't want it pulled back into my engine...
got sucked off by an italian tourist last night. pretty skilled tongue, managed to make me cum eventually
couldn't get hard though so I guess I'm not turned on by guys
>>16973603
>>16973590
does your engine suddenly run backwards under engine braking?
>>16973551
>tfw 650GS
Notice me salespai and give me a discount when I service my bike
>>16973624
I don't know if it created a vacuum on the exhaust stroke without combustion...
>>16973657
yes, it does to some extent but its just scavenging like on idle.
if it doesnt eat it at idle i wouldn't worry too much. id also not have loose bits of metal flapping around in my exhaust if it were me though
>>16973603
But do you ride a cruiser?
>>16973618
his long stubble rubbing on my thigh was the weirdest part
>>16973632
RIP 650s. All the service guys were in love with them. I have a 650 Xcountry myself.

Good. We don't need more people clogging up hospital wards for skin grafts.
Anyone else here ride and pack a gun at the same time?
Any good ideas for motorcycle related tattoos?
And you who were gonna comment on how tattoos are trashy and/or plebian: fuck right off.
>>16972350
If you want to run wide and potentially die, yes.
Otherwise get the SV
>>16972369
Depends whether you get the naked SV (2003, one year bike) or the semi faired (more common) one.
Naked one has proper bars, and is more upright. The semi faired one has clip one and is more of a sports position.
