Good topic. This was my first bike, back in 1999. Great learner bike. 650cc single, air cooled. Good power off the line to keep the ride fun, but it did top out at 70-75 miles per hour.

Light enough to have never caused me to drop it, in three years of ownership.

Fan of Jap bikes for lyfe. Currently 2014 CBR600RR.

Yes, I don't know what else is in your area, but that's a great deal, especially if it's true about the new tires and chain.

If it starts easily, runs decent, and the brakes are okay (check lines; by now they may need to be replaced), it's a great deal.

On a bike that age, old rubber has probably reduced the effectiveness of the entire braking system enough to compromise safety considerably.

Old lines won't necesarily make it unsafe, but if you put new brake lines on the braking will feel less spongy.

>>17002496
I have a pair of Cortech Scarab gloves because they're 3M insulated and waterproof. I've had them for maybe 3 years now and they're great.
Held makes the best ones though or so I've been led to believe.

>>17002388
When the front end gets too light, as in barely touching ground, any tiny input pushes on the gyroscopic effect of the front wheel, which then tries to reset itself and can in most cases turn into the oscillation we see here. Since there's no resistance, it's free to start gorging on reactive input on every swing of the bars.
This is why steering dampers are a thing, to starve the returning 'energy' of the gyroscope instead of feeding it.

P much the only way to get out of a tankslapper is to give it more throttle.

No, you fucked the electrics on your Suzuki. My Suzuki has had them for years without issue.

If I get a full exhaust do I really need a tune?

Can a tune be done at home with a fuel controller?

>>17002572
>If I get a full exhaust do I really need a tune?
Depends on the bike.
>Can a tune be done at home with a fuel controller?
Depends on the bike.

For example, on my Husky you can change the exhaust, but you have to leave the baffle in. If you remove the baffle, open the airbox or both it runs too lean, so you need a tune. Usually you can change the exhaust and be fine, but unless you get a tune don't expect a noticeable power increase. Some bikes have open ECUs you can tune with software like TuneECU, some don't. KTM 690's you could use TuneECU on up until 2013, 2014 and later, and the Husky versions require a Power Commander. If you go the Power Commander route you can tune it yourself, but the Autotune module that (I think) is necessary is half the price of a dyno tune anyways, and some dude who does it for a living is probably going to do a better job than you.

tl;dr find a forum for your bike and ask there

>>17002569
I think it was the nig-tier battery that fucked it in the end. That and riding like a cunt in traffic caused overheating. Ended up rewinding the generator, new battery, new regulator/rectifier, had bad earths on it as well which I cleaned up.

I blame the grips because (some) Oxford products have a reputation for being pure shite, mainly their security products.

what are you talking about, XRs don't need an update. They've need an update since freaking 2007. fuel injection (IMO), newer body, modern engine, lighter weight, better materials, new headlight, bars, etc, etc, etc.,

there really can't be an argument made.

I'm just kidding by the way, I looked at this guy right in the eyes and carried on with my journey, this only happened in my head.

>>17002727
It's always been that way. If you want the most power buy something else but Honda isn't interested in just making big numbers.

Even at illegal speeds most people don't keep the bike in the top of the rev range on the road.

Customs officer determining tax now before they release my bike. They've never imported an fz07 before so they have no idea how much to charge me.

These two statement tell me everything I need to know about CBR1000R riders. By it for "muh supabike" and don't take it on the track.

I'm guessing the on road usability makes it easier to get sales out the door in terms of homologation rules. They should just do a Suzuki and give a GSXR1000 at 0% APR

Why do the brakes of my motorcycle squeal like a dying pig?

I haven't tried other bikes so I don't know if they don't work properly, they seem to, the vehicle does decrease its velocity and come to a stop. But they are so noisy it's embarrassing.

>>17002881
Do they sound like a dying pig, or like metal-on-metal grinding?
Because if it's the latter you probably need new brake pads.

>>17002881
Probably because that's the sign you need to change them you dingus.

They squeak when they're almost at the end of their life and you don't wear them all the way into the metal. Some women and I guess you tend to do it anyways.

>>17002881

Dirt under pad/between rear of pad and piston of brake caliper. When you brake the friction makes it judder and noisey as fuck. Put rubber grease between the back of the pad and the calliper piston

It's more like 10% high, so 180 would be like 163.

How do I get the bike off the pickup, boys?

Should I unbox it and roll it down a ramp?

>>17003105
Something that is reliable, comfortable to ride everyday, works at least ok on both city and roads. Standard seems to be the best fit, but then I see some cruisers and adventure tourers and it doesn't seem too far fetch to get one of those either. How did you decide?

Yeah if you were to buy all the trademarked weird tools but you can do almost everything with a $100 socket set (you should have it regardless of a bike), and some internet research.

I even uninsure my car for 6 months of the year to save money on insurance.

>>17003573
Tools and such usually end up being cheaper than paying someone to fix it though, plus you can use most of those tools on other vehicles as well. A 200$ canadian tire boxing day sale set is all you need for 99% of motorcycle work

>>17003577
My nigga. I save 1200 a year not insuring my car for 6 months.

That leaves me $200/y on maintenance and fuel.
Which is impossible, as my tires alone are €250 and maintenance (done by me) €150/y.

>as my tires alone are €250
"Why a c90?"
"Reason 1: I just can't seem to kill the thing.

I bought her for £150 taxed and tested to use as a work horse because she can go 100 miles on less than 4 litres of petrol. And for a while she was just used as a souless vehicle to save money with...but then things slowly changed.
I constantly abuse the poor thing, I ride her as fast as she'll go down muddy lanes and when things wrong, we leave the road enter the ditch or hedge and with any luck smash our way out legs flailing and continue the journey. There's no worrying about broken fairings, bent forks or scratched paint. You just keep on riding.
I strap anything I can to her that needs moving. I've carried 32 inch Tv's, fire wood, scaffolding, welders. Once when my mates C90 with no engine needed transporting, I took the wheels off and carried it on the back of my C90 to his house. Try carrying a BMW GS1200 on the back of another GS1200!!!
People laugh when I say that my maintenance schedule is once a week I put petrol in it haha. But apart from changing the engine oil every 1000 miles, that's it. I've never lubed a control cable, greased a nipple or even washed her. Sometimes I put some engine oil on the chain but when it's only £15 for chain and sprockets....it doesn't matter if I don't."

>>17003621
Canada, BC.

I think my car license was like $70 total to make the card and everything, but the motorcycle tests are free the first time you do it to encourage you to actually study for the exam and not just wing it. Each time after that is I think $15.

>>17003624
>changing the engine oil every 1000 miles
why does it vary so much from bike to bike? Mine is 7500 miles and it's a sport bike not meant for endurance.

>>17003632
Fucking hell.
I mean it's not really expensive here in the states, but free is always better.
And out tests are free, but you pay a fee for the license, or at least the states I was in.

>>17003632
How the fuck does being free encourage you to study? It's the fucking opposite. The cheaper something is, the less you dedicate yourself towards it.

>why does it vary so much from bike to bike?
at one point he rode for over a 1000 miles with no engine oil due to a broken pump cog, and it just kept going...

small older style honda based engines call for new oil every 1000 miles, but many people put new oil in every 1000km for some reason.

it also only takes 1L of oil at a time, and smaller engines are expected to be working pretty hard 90% of the time

>>17003642
if it makes you feel any better we get completely ass fucked by insurance. I just recently paid $500 for 3 months.

Government here makes a shitload of money off of insurance, parking, tolls, tickets, etc. so they want as many people driving as possible and it shows. The driving is just ridiculous; people pull directly in front of you, rarely use turn signals, text and drive constantly, etc.

Husaberg up to 2008 is oil ever 5 hours... even casual road riding... the oil becomes dirty...

The engine has 1 compression ring, shares the oil with the gearbox.

I had a KLX250 before, could ride 5k KM on that oil and it came out cleaner than the Husaberg after 5 hours.

And I regularly rode the KLX on the highway at 10k RPM for an hour at a time.

I ride a low stressed bike, with 3 different oil locations: engine, gearbox and drive shaft. Can pour in any motor oil in, doesn't matter if it's for bikes or not.

After 15k km it still comes out pretty clean.

My dad's 1200GSs motor oil even comes out the same colour pink as it went in, even the exact same amount after 10k km.

Recently just got some incense from a store up the road and the guy just told me "Lucky!" and smiled so I'm guessing they're supposed to bring luck. Or maybe that's one of the only words he knows so he says it to every white person.

Sometimes they just won't help me because I'm white but that's mostly the East Asians.

Pic is just up the road from me, and it's not chinatown, just a part of the city.

See, if your bike was smaller your tits would be smaller and therefore cheaper

>be a cop
>called to scene of a motorcycle accident
>rock up
>guy is on a 50cc scooter
>he claims she him, then she tried to drive off and he knocked on her back windscreen to get her attention and it broke
>she is in tears, says that she came out of the parking space and was moving to get out of the alley and the guy stopped in front of her in the middle of the road screaming at her to get into her lane, then he smashed her window and dragged her out of the car
>he had a go pro on
>says it wasn't recording

So of course we watched his recording

>he goes into the tiny alley
>stops in the middle of the alley entrance
>woman is pulling out of her space
>he stops right in front of her and screams at her to get in her lane
>she turns as sharply as she can but he moves up closer to her to blocker her in
>screaming and honking
>she tries to go past as slowly as she can
>he sticks his toe under her wheels
>he's staring straight at his foot as he does this
>then he goes ape shit, smashes her windows screaming she hit him and pulls her out of the car then calls the cops
>then he runs to his scooter and pushes it over
>he actually called it in as a hit and run
>he's already lost his licence for excessive speeding by putting his stunts on youtube

Be glad it's not.

I'd like to strip one and put mid controls on it, Chout style.

>>17001899
Try a six-point socket and a large cheater pipe. Since it must come off, the more leverage you use the more control you have.

I see a proper shop in pic related, so if you need to stop the round shafty bit from spinning consider aluminum vee blocks in a vise.

You can also face it bolt side up, fill with penetrant and leave it for a couple days.

Anti-seize that bitch on reassembly.

My fucking chain came off as I was riding

>be riding like normal
>suddenly rear wheel isn't sounding too good
>isn't turning smoothly
>get to one side
>get off
>the fucking chain has dislodged itself from the teeth of the sprockets and is sort of halfway off
>thank my lucky stars I was carrying some spare tools with me in the saddlebags
>sort it out
>go to closest dealer and ask for some advice on what to do next because I could have died
>says I'm just gonna have to accelerate real slowly like a grandma and even consider just riding on the side of the road at 10-20mph if I want to guarantee my safety
>spend the next 2 hours going home at 20mph at the side of the road with my hazard lights on

Fuck this, I am getting a belt drive or shaft drive bike.

its an expensive hobby.

>>17003921
How about you take care of your chain you pussy

>>17003921
Maybe you should just have a decent chain and properly adjust it, m8.

>>17003852
>>17003883
It's not even a matter of if, it's a matter of when.

>>17003937
It ended up costing ~$16k to import so if it gets stolen I'll die inside.

>>17003948
Better make sure you die from the outside first then

How do you even get gas?

>tfw you don't feel qualified enough to make a new thread

>>17003931
scooters are cheap and almost never need servicing...

>>17003957
Gas is pretty expensive here. My 2.7l fortuner costs about $83 to fill up from empty. And there are often lines although gas stations are plentiful because the gov't allocates most of the fuel import permits to diesel.
