GS500 BEST BEGINNER BIKE

>>17010096

Wobbling at 80kph isn't good, sounds like it's not tight enough. Personally I'd just tighten that fucker up. Also whilst you did do them up to torque, did you use a spring washer or thread lock? Otherwise the bolt can shake loose with vibration with relative ease.

Holy shit, I finally learned how to do clutchless shifting on my GSXR today and I feel like a complete idiot for not doing this sooner. It's so much smoother.

If you guys are trying to learn how to do it, my advice is to start at low RPMs and start at 3rd gear and try to go into the 6th. People online say that you should be applying pressure on the pedal and it will just click into place when you chop the throttle but I don't like this technique. You just click it into place at the same time you chop the throttle. It was so fucking smooth I couldn't even tell that I had shifted the first few times

>>17010102

How did it take you so long? It's the easiest thing.

>>17010102
My other advice would be to not waste your time trying this on some meme bike like a Ninja 250. I tried to do clutchless shifts on my ninja 250 and it never worked. I think their transmission is just different or the throttle response of a carbureted bike doesn't give the same effect as chopping the throttle on FI.

On a side note, does anyone know how I am supposed to clutchless from first to second? Do I just kick it in extra hard?

>>17010098
why?

Looks like a unreliable old piece of shit. I suppose you get what you pay for.

>>17010102
Nope. Apply pressure and roll off the throttle. It will click up. The smooth way is to roll off just enough to click up a gear and then roll back on quick enough to not lose much downtime on hard acceleration.

>>17010110
No, it works just fine on a 250. You're just doing it wrong.

First to second is the same thing, but it will not feel the same at the foot.

I really like it but it costs way too much. The base model costs more than an S1000RR or R1 that both come with way more toys. They made the exhaust out of titanium which puts the price through the roof. Nice, but not worth the money.

>>17010406
>They made the exhaust out of titanium
Even the standard model? You'd think most people would want to replace that pigfat can anyways.

>>17010408

Yeah, which was a mistake. Weight wise it's a great can, but it's absolutely hideous and also adds easily a grand to the bike's price, titanium is crazy expensive. I understand using it on the SP models (they also have titanium fuel tanks which makes them even more expensive), but Honda fucked up putting it on the base model, a lightly specced Fireblade costs the same as a fully specced S1000RR Sport with all the nice bits on it.

It's not even that, a lot of companies know you're gonna swap it out anyway, which is why they often offer Akrapovic from the factory. The new cars are all horrid because of the Euro 4 regs, so they have to make them huge to meet emissions. I don't care that it's ugly though, I'm just annoyed they used needlessly expensive materials on a part that will get replaced 90% of the time.

every sport bike besides the ZX10R, S1000RR, and GSX-R 1000 is a complete meme. Allow me to explain. The 4th+ gen ZX10R and S1000RR have 30+ hp off the lot on both the R1 and GSXR 1000 so it's obvious why they are winners. But wait, why would I rank the GSXR over the R1? It's because the GSXR doesn't try to be something it isn't. The reality is that all these jap bikes have been getting scraped by the S1000RR since 2010 so there is no point in promoting this faux le racers bike that Yamaha does. The R1 is nice, but it's not as nice as the S1000, and it isn't worth the asking price. If you're going to be riding a comparatively slower bike regardless, you may as well go with the cheaper one (gsxr)

you are overthinking it. it's not entirely your fault though since this world is filled with retards and they have managed to turn a concept as simple as pushing a handlebar left or right into a convoluted mess

go ride around at slow speeds. you turn by turning the handlebars. it's simple.

you turn the exact same way at high speeds. the issue is that because of your speed and weight, the gyroscopic forces keep your handlebars and front wheel straight. but that doesn't mean the exact same input isn't going to have a similar effect. you wont physically see your front wheel turn the same way it does in a low speed environment but the same exact thing is happening.

>>17010851
It generally starts between 15mph to 20mph depending on the size of the bike, it's geometry, and the rider.

You push the direction you want to go, causing the front wheel to turn the opposite way. This causes the bike to lean to the OPPOSITE direction the wheel is pointing. You then slowly straighten the wheel as your bike goes through the curve.

So my on of my front brake rotors feels slightly warped, I can feel a tiny little 'skip' when lightly touching them. Is it worth it to try to get a new one?

Feels really minor but I don't want any tank slappers.

I bought my liter off of a pregnant lady who downgraded to a CBR 250 because she didn't want to die with a kid. In text she was Mac so it was kind of ambiguous.

Only really bought it because her husband was a millwright and it looked super well taken care of.

those bikes are ridiculously small and underpowered. They're meant for kids more than adults. Get a DR350 at the very least.

R1 has better suspension, far better electronics, and better reliability than the BMW.

The intrinsic quality of a bike is not centered around its peak horsepower number you fucking benchracing squid.

WR250R is the only correct answer.

Sub 300lbs
Runs forever, bulletproof
Awesomely long maintenance intervals
good suspension, handles great
relatively powerful motor, almost as much power as DRZ400 while being lighter, much more power than every other 200-250cc dual sport.
Can be had for cheap.

>>17010851
It applies at all speeds on all motorcycles and bicycles. That's why you will notice people move their bars a lot at lower speeds to balance. They are countersteering to straighten out.

>>17011136
More what I was looking for.
The (((dealership))) was pushing a 230 on me something fierce.
I just don't want to crack my engine open every week and I don't want to feel bad about dropping it.

Honda makes the CRF230L and CF250L but they make less power and are heavier than the WRR with shittier suspension.

WR250R has a 6 speed transmission, is comfortable and capable on the highway, and is very capable offroad.

Do not confuse it with the WR250F though,. those are race bikes that do need their valves checked every 15 minutes.

The WR250R dual sport and the WR250X supermoto are the same bike and street legal with small differences like wheel/rotor size but the WRR/WRX are completely different from the WR250F offroad race bikes. Make sure you understand the differences before you buy anything.

>>17011164
Also, don't buy these bikes from a dealership. Buy one used that's been taken care of for $3000 or so. If you don't know what you're looking for, have a mechanic check it out.

I got about 1.7mm on my rear tire (Pilot Power 2CT rear and front), so almost legal limit in Germany.
Do I get new Pilot Power 2CT, Pilot Power 3 or do I throw away my front tire and dosh out for a set of Bridgestone S21's
Mostly commuting, but also want something to hoon a bit during the weekend... (Are touring-cuck tires even a choice like the Pilot Road 4's or are they garbage?)

>these tires supposedly last up to 15k miles
No tire that provides any appreciable level of grip and performance will ever last 15,000 miles.

>>17011234
ok

>>17011213
I typically go through 2 rears per front.
>mainly commuting, sometimes "hoon a bit"
cantturn detected. stop wasting money on supersport tires

>>17011234
Maybe a front if you like, never turn, but even at 5k miles most sportbike tires are coned in the front and flat spotted in the rear.

10,000 miles from a tire is touring bike tire territory.

They work for big soft sport bike tires, and even then it's a bit of a pain. Don't try it on anything stiff or dry rotted, you'll just break the tip thing.

lean into the corner basicly your body is moving the bike not the stearing, you can do it on a bicycle, just ride around and keep your stearing wheel straight, lean from side to side to turn and slow turns below 30km you can use stearing more efectivly, most stearing comes from the back tire than the front, then again this is from a chopper rider dont know how racers work

Aprilia's 125s are also very good looking, they look so close to the bigger versions at a glance.

I think once Honda gave the CBR125 bigger tyres, that got a lot better looking too.

Not really. He didn't know how to turn or choose a good line. He had mile wide strips when he arrived. He had never cornered in his life. I was faster than him all day.

Also yours may be dual sport tires, but they're still leagues ahead of mine. Mine are skinny little bias ply tires made of hard rubber that can't grip for shit. If yours are like other "supermoto" dual sport tires I've seen, it is a pretty soft radial tire that just had bigger grooves cut than sport bike tires.
