I don't see any reason not to grab one if you have spare $$$.

>>17029203
It's Yamaha answering the call for glory that is continuing the SV650's legacy, but it's a parallel twin. The new SV is boring and underwhelming.

The FZ07 is a really nice bike. It's odd because it seems like a better package than the FZ09.

If I were going to get something -new- to replace my street SV, I'd get an FZ07.

not cheap and nasty shit, not hyper expensive also shit.

good warranty and easily sourced parts and dealer mechanics.

plus that DSG box they have is apparently coming to it.

The only Aprilia I'm interested in is an RSV4 for the track.

The shiver is a neat machine, but rare over here in the states. Would be expensive and annoying to fix when I crash it.

>>17029233
They're pretty good machines for what they cost. Don't fall for the modding meme, but maybe a few hundred on suspension and it will be perfect.

>>17029257
i'm just meming
i know i should've probably gotten an SV and avoided a lot of headaches, but i love this piece of shit
will try to RSV swap it unce i have my full license

as far as i understand the concept, it's a manual with a fluid plate clutch, you select the gear you want to change to and as it gets to the exact revs for the change it'll clutchless shift into the new gear. so unlik an auto it doesn't choose whatever gear it feels like with lack of response. it's goes to the gear you tell it. none of this d 3 2 1 shit.

that's pretty much why i decided on one, they seem to be a sweet general everyday bike. without any downsides. as much as i'd love a cruiser or bobber etc for the style, the mt-07 has such strong dealer support, mechanics, warranty that not getting something with that much back end going for it just seems silly.

All motorcycles for at least the past 50 years have had a sequential manual, the only people trying to push anything different are honda and most people said "no thanks" back, me included. It actually pretty much sank the VFR1200 because 90% of people didn't even realize you could buy it without the DCT (and it did a low 10's 1/4 mile when you did)

You just described a normal motorcycle transmission in your post, you can clutchlessly shift it into the gear you want.

Man I hate these stupid EU licenses. I've had my CBR500 for almost two years now, I outgrew it after about 6 months and have been dying to upgrade, but can't because of our stupid licensing systems. I have the money right now to sell my Honda and buy an S1000RR or RSV4, except I can't because I can't go unrestricted on my license till September.

>>17029350

Meh bike but god tier engine. It's a shame it's wasted on the VFR really (not that the VFR isn't a good bike at what it does), but that engine is totally wasted in the VFR.

You could tap the hole to a slightly larger bolt size, i.e. M8 to M10 or something if you really have to.

It could still have gotten fucked.

Back of my fz is a bit squirly on corner entry and a bit unsettled under acceleration. Will upping the preload help with that?

>>17029440
next time make her suck your dick while she is still on the phone.

>>17029461
sounds like you want more weight on the rear. Dunno if thats upping or lowering the preload, whatever gets your rear lower.

>>17029459
thats only what I could see

taking it to the dealership next weekend for them to check and quote me if there is something wrong

wish I filmed so you could see her reaction when I told her I'm calling the cops to report the accident

"THERE NOTHING FUCKIN WRONG WITH YOUR BIKE"

>>17029471
Did you get an accident report and her insurance?

>>17029465
I just feel the rear dancing laterally a bit. Maybe it's the dusty roads idk. It's a bit disconcerting.

>>17029476
uuh, did you check the bearings? see if the axle sits tightly? Get that thing on a stand and check if anything is loose.

Other than that how are the tires? Does this stop happening if they are warm?

>>17029027
Pictures of crashed bikes are interesting. A bike laying on its side doesn't damage anything. It's the impact and slide that hurts it.
I will never understand why some people go into a panic mode and feel like they need to stand up the bike right away.

>>17029475
yep, everything got handled. Hopefully my frame isn't bent but I haven't ridden it since to feel anything plus the alignment is still off and I don't want to fix that until the shop has looked over it, which they will probably fix and the insurance will pay for it.

Rim wasn't bent. Lucky senpai

ehhhhhh
sometimes the fluids get into strange places that they otherwise wouldnt, but they'll go back if you let it sit for a moment and dont go full retard right after picking it up

>>17029461
Try to stiffen it up, but the fz suspension is kind of shit no matter how much you adjust it.

I have an 02 sv650 and a 15 fz09, both are hilariously soft, the fz being only a bit better. You can swap in a zx6r rear shock or I think zx10 as well for under a few hundred bucks, the only mod being drilling out the shock where it mounts to a bigger size, ez swap.

it might be worth it.

>>17029482
Nothing's loose.

The tires have less than 50 miles on them and the roads are dusty.

That's probably it since I'm 180lbs so the factory preload setting is likely ok.

I

Stiffen the preload, its the easiest thing to try first.

higher unsprung mass, lower traction, negative handling effects in the form of some degree of shaft jacking as the VFR1200 does not use a full paralever, rather emulates some of the effect of it only.

It's not as good as the alternative sure but it's not strictly bad. The BMW HP2 had it and it was still a superb bike, much like the Ace. It has its ups and downs but it's not a bad thing.

>>17029664
Liability is just a good idea for a road bike so you're not on the hook in case you go full retard into private property. I have yet to come close, but for the cheap cost I'd rather just have it and not need it.

I know you are rich Kang and all that, but you will pay many mud disks for that lever. It is held on only by a pin and one bolt. It is super simple to fix speaking from experience. Crashing happens, it is part of learning, maybe take this chance to try and sort it yourself. If you fuck the lever up no harm as you are gonna get a new one anyway right?

>>17029796
Ok I'll try it out. I'll need to buy a tool box though.

The price of the tools might be more than the lever.

I have no idea what you could do without at least some tools, I'd say a vice grip and blow torch but they aren`t free.

buy a basic wrench and socket set, a pair of needle nose pliers and a good #2 phillips screw driver and a regular flat blade screwdriver from the hardware store.
shift levers are usually held on by a cotter pin on the backside and the linkage will be a 10 or 12mm bolt.
take the bolt off and then straighten out the cotter pin and pull it out then the lever comes off. do the reverse to assemble
shift lever is easier than changing oil

You wouldn`t need all the tools, although they are useful.

Basically you need to take off the lever heat it bent part with a blow torch and bend it with a vice grip.

Levers are a funny type of mild steel that can bend before snapping, but I highly doubt you would be able to bend it back cold.

>>17029862

I remember seeing that pic before. I used to think it was funny you couldn't even get to the edge of a little dual sport tire. Now I understand.
It's practically impossible to get to the edge of my DS tires. The angle to even get to the edge is far steeper than even on the supersport tires I was using before. That combined with the lower level of grip means I lose traction before I even get to the edge.

if the former then yes. You don't even need to go downhill.

while sitting on the bike put it in second, pull the clutch, get the bike up to a brisk walking speed (this will be awkward especially with heavier bikes, then dump the clutch, rev the throttle, and hold on tight. It's best to pull the clutch back in as soon as possible.

You can roll start a fuel injected bike too. Just push it around with the clutch semi engaged to get the engine spinning to give the battery a little juice and after a minute or so try starting it. If you get it started keep it revved and go ride around asap to charge it.

Usually you begin your first lessons on 125ccm (fun), they you move up, the exams for the "full" license are taken on 500ccm upwards, depends on the town's department. In my town it's cb500, gladius and one of the bmw's I think.

maybe inquire at a motorcycle gear dealer about boots that fit well with an insole?
altho if you're gonna learn on a cb650f or similiar your height is fine.

>>17030357
If you keeping have this issue I'd replace the battery, but if your bike is a newer supersport or European they like to use lightweight batteries that don't have a whole lot of capacity to save weight. So if you are not riding very frueqently I'd recommend a trickle charger.

Holy crap, just checked the price, they're expensive as fuck, same cost as the license.

Yeah, will look into something cheaper, good idea about checking out a dealer, my town barely got any motorcycle gear dealers though, might ask around though. Don't want to buy complete cheap crap though, I will use the boots when I get my license and first bike anyway. As do they say, you're too poor to afford cheap stuff. Thanks for the idea though mate, much appreciated.

Oh and I should add that all the 250 2T MX bikes will work fine. I just used the YZ as an example because it's the most common and the only japanese one still around.

Since they're all comparable, just consider what class of bike you want to start with. A MX base bike will probably be better on a track. An enduro base will have quite an advantage if you ever road ride it.
If you buy anything really old or with a lot of hours, save some money in your budget to rebuild things. 4 stroke vs 2 stroke is mostly a matter of preference. 4 strokes will generally go longer between rebuilds, but the rebuilds are more expensive, and you still have to do frequent oil changes and shit anyway.

That would be insinuating that the CBR500 was my first bike and I'd only been riding for 6 months. And I genuinely have outgrown it. It has been good, reliable and easy to ride, but it's just so boring. I've regularly ridden my brother's Fireblade and his friend's Street Triple and can confidently spank both of them on the road. I could happily own a litrebike now but I can't ride one on the road by law for another 5 months.

Husky 701. Loads of bikes are able to be made A2 legal, MT/FZ07, Triump Striple, Z800e to name a few. But they wouldn't perform all that well, I didn't like the idea of strangling a bigger bike so I bought an A2 legal bike. It was a good stepping stone but it's just gotten really boring now that I've started trying bigger more powerful bikes. The lack of speed isn't the problem, it's the really bland, non-engaging handling.

Everyone recommends the sv 650 but what about ninja 650? Do they have same power van and all? They're both 650cc v-twins so I assume they're the same but everyone says that ninja 650 is scarier than the sv. What gives?

>>17030411
fuck I tried but didnt work

the lights on the motorcycle(dash) is fine but then I try to start it up and it makes weird noise like a dying battery, the whole lights also get weaker and the dashboard keeps restarting

>>17030778
never ridden an sv, but the ninja650 was my first bike. its comfy and a girls bike due to the seat height. would recommend

>>17030722
certainly dont ride over 6000 km a year. We got a winter you know?

ah
yes
I guess it would be adventurous

>>17030778
the Ninja is a parallel twin, not a v-twin

>>17030778

I can't imagine either being scary, if anything I'd have thought the Ninja has more relaxed ergos than the old SV650. That being said, I really like the look of the new one.

>>17030778

the "Ninja 650" is a parallel twin and its the same shit basically.

People recommend the ER6 all the time, thats the name its got in Europe.

>>17030778
>They're both 650cc v-twins
Nope, the Ninja 650 is an inline twin
>but everyone says that ninja 650 is scarier than the sv
Why would anyone say that? It's worse than the SV.

guess thats why they hid it inside the frame for the new one.

>>17030896
The new ninja 650 looks pretty good overall. I just wish it had better colors.

>>17030879
One setup cannot fit everyone perfectly. I don't think Showa offers a lot of aftermarket parts for adjustment, so tuners will turn to companies like Race Tech or Ohlins to get things how they want them.

looks faster than it is and i think that new kawasaki orange they used on the Z1000 before fits this one quite well.

>>17030958
I don't really like orange, red would have been good though. I want green.

they got 2 greens but both with black sorry.

>>17030990
Right I forgot the KRT. It's pretty good.

>>17030778
Ninja less reliable and more plastics. Solid bike though. I had an SV so I'm biased but either one is a good pick. Get whichever you like more or can find a better deal on.
