Why am I so lazy to go riding in the rain? I don't mind the rain, I just hate putting on my waterproof pants over my boots and normal pants. They're so fucking annoying to put on and take off.

How do you do it /dbt/?

How easy is it to fix and replace a clutch lever? Any brands to avoid? The lever is loose both horizontally and vertically.

>>17055835
really easy, it's just one bolt and a little wire you slide into it. Takes about 2 minutes, just relube the bolt when you put the new one in.

any aluminum CNC ones will be fine tbqh

>>17055811
I only ride in the rain if I get caught in it. Then I just suck it up and be wet. I ride for enjoyment and there is nothing fun about riding in the rain on purpose.

As long as you have a K1200, yes. They make them for every bike imaginable though if that's not your bike just get some different ones.

>>17055821
>>17055819
Yeah my motorcycle is also my main mode of transportation, but I live in the pacific northwest so it rains here all the damn time. Putting on my waterproof pants over my boots and regular pants just to ride to class or whatever is a real pain in the ass.

Most of that is because my waterproof pants have these shitty lower cinch zippers on the outside ankles, and the fabric ALWAYS gets stuck in the zippers. You end up wrestling with the damn zippers for ten damn minutes trying to get your fucking pants on.

>>17055781
who that tho?

>>17055874
Never thought about buying proper waterproof textiles?

I ride in them all year long and it rains here a lot.

Since it was a nigger, gear & helmet unlikely. Maybe he was wearing the helmet like a hat as they are known to do.

>>17055898
oh idk if you can get them for scooters

looks fine to me though just tighten it up

guys my 701 needs mirrors. the stock ones are useless at 60mph. its like a disco trying to look at headlights in those mirrors.

I don't want small and discreet mirrors, I like large and functional ones, kinda like the stock ones except something that wont vibrate out of function.

any suggestions?

>leathers are too small
>the way they squeeze my stomach combined with the heat is physically sickening
fuck.

>>17055923

>>17055957
DR-Z mirrors are pretty sturdy but they're kind of narrow so you get a lot of your shoulders in the view.

On a large single I think the vibrations are going to make pretty much any mirror shake so bad you can't see shit. Turn your head.

>>17055898
what is an xt30? Google doesn't even show anything for that bike.

>>17055967
No. I'm 6ft tall and about 165lbs. Pretty average. I got these leathers free from my uncle who apparently bought them for his son many years ago but they looked like they had never been worn.

Isn't that a small bike in the webm? It looks like an FZ-07 which weigh about 390 lbs wet. Even less if it's got aftermarket pipes, which most do. Unless you're talking about a Grom or something, I wouldn't consider an FZ-07 to be a heavy bike.

I'm poor and looking for my first bike, I can get help for most small mechanical issues but I'm just on the lookout for a cheap deal where the worst I have to deal with is a few maintenance issues or visual flaws and I'm fine with that. I did think it was awfully strange what looked like intake valves were exposed... I have no idea where the air box is, I haven't contacted the seller

>>17056291
A smaller motorcycle is meant to be crashed.
If he's not a complete retard, which he is by virtue of being a burger, the small bike would help him learn how to ride.

>>17056293
No, but that's not what we're talking about. We're talking about an FZ-07 here, that's the bike the conversation is based on. Comparing an FZ-07 to a "supersport lightweight" bike is just ridiculous if you know anything about the bike.

My point was that an FZ-07 is a small bike, which fits the criteria you previously mentioned of "starting on a small bike".

>>17056303

Yeah that looks a lot better than the incomplete Suzuki earlier.

>>17056313
You're retarded if you think engine displacement is all that constitutes the size of a bike. Weight matters tremendously in the handling of motorcycles especially at low speeds.

What exactly are you suggesting anyway? Are you suggesting if that front brake grabbing FZ-07 rider was instead riding a 250cc bike he would have avoided grabbing the front brake?

>>17056265
Weight has more to do with how beginner friendly a bike is than power. Bigger bikes are harder to balance at low speeds and usually have longer wheelbases that necessitate more lean angle for a given turning radius. If anything, a bigger, less torquey, smoother engine than some shitty twin/single is a huge help for low speed shit because you don't absolutely have to slip the clutch to ride steadily at that speed.

Euros just flip out of power because their regulations are of the "protect the chilluns from big scary numbers" kind rather than the "lrn 2 ride scrub git gud" kind.

Awesome. Does Africa have the FZ-07 or European MT-07? There's a couple slight differences between the two, and I've never heard of anybody in Africa buying one before. Just curious.

No worries. FZ imported from Dubai. They don't get MTs for some reason. Positive that I have the first FZ/MT range bike in the Horn and almost certainly in most of the rest of Africa outside of SA.

Different Anon, just bought a 93 Yamaha xt350 a few weeks ago and i currently got the motherfucker torn down for a rebuild. I worked the head some and im having to go 1.5mm overbore to get a clean cylinder bore (it was super fucked). How bad is this thing going to overheat?

Wanna bet he did some dumb shit you couldn't quite see on the camera?

It doesn't take much for a rider to slam his bike straight into the ground. It takes a lot from the ground, usually a thick layer of mud, wet grass, or enough loose gravel to qualify as a gravel trap.

>>17056654
Lol, no. The scenery. You can go coastal, innawoods, urban. You name it.

True. We've got national forests, coastal roads, high desert, the Columbia Gorge, urban, small towns, and lots of farmland with straight roads and 90 degree corners. Good shit.

Unfortunately it seems to rain here more often than not (at least in the fertile valley between the coast and desert) so riding requires layers of gear if you want to stay dry. I still do it though. Often days I'm the only rider I see on my highway commute.

In a few months I'll be living in southern California for work, so I'll enjoy the more steady sunshine and optimal riding weather. Oh and lane splitting. I can't wait.

>>17056668
I think I remember that one. He was a new rider and fucked up something fierce.

It's hard to explain how easily you can crash, but it's not the road's fault. Bikes don't like to corner.

>tire skid

yeah no he fucked his own shit up being retarded with the brakes

and look at how he was riding before that

most people don't ride like that.

>>17056682
He braked a bit too hard, locked up his rear wheel, and immediately let off which caused the bike to lurch him forward into the cliff side. What he should have done was get upright, stay on the brake and wait until he was either slowed down to a safe speed or stopped. It's a harder thing to remember, but a lot of good motorcycle riding is practice and training.

Do you listen to music while riding? Is it a big no-no? What do you use to listen to music while riding?

>>17056682

lmao these vids crack me up

that fucking pothole would be nothing in a car

and maybe a bit of wiper fluid if something splashed up

seriously, makes no sense logically

plus with the price to insure it and all the money it costs to buy your fucking kevlar clothes n shit

your nip bike and fancy clothes look really great when completely soaked in shit water all because of a lil pothole

This is a serious question, How good would a victory octane go as a starter bike? I know it's a 1200 and those are viewed as too large for a starter, but since victory is dead, the local store is selling 2017s brand new, combined with my military discount, for 7500. Would i be making a bad decision if i were to pick one up? Addtionally, i'm also kind of a manlet at 5'5", would I be too small for this bike or is it going to be fine for me? Sorry for the wall of text, i'm new to this thing and I fell in love with the octane at first sight.

>>17056724
The low end power and gnarly engine braking would kill you.

>>17056543
300s have wheelbases between a supersport and a superbike. Smaller standards will be a bit shorter but anything designed to be stable over ~100kph is going to be at least that long.

>If anything, a bigger, less torquey, smoother engine than some shitty twin/single is a huge help for low speed shit because you don't absolutely have to slip the clutch to ride steadily at that speed.
Honda's 300 single will ride itself in first gear at 4mph forever (or at least until the stock exhaust melts). That's mostly about gearing and engine tuning.

Fuck this msf ecourse thing.
It's like I paid for death by powerpoint.
Fucking kill me now.

>>17056717
That pothole would probably bend a wheel, blow a tire, or damage the suspension in a car. My sister spun out and ended up with the ass of her shitty wagon in a ditch after hitting a pothole at speed.

Only a retard wouldn't slow the fuck down use the big empty lane to the left of them to go around it in anything short of a heavy ass pickup with a functional lift

>>17056728
Oh right the old 250cc 2 stroke and 4 cylinder and 400cc 4 cylinder supersports were shorter but those were designed for carving mountain hairpins and not much else.

>>17056724
Victory is out of business

Waste of money. No resale

>>17056737
This logic makes no sense. It's like acting like you can't get parts for Pontiacs. The company is still going to be in business and making bikes that use the same parts.

Get one. If you don't ride lime a cunt you'll be fine. Victory is built pretty good and they'll still be servicing them. Seat isn't very comfy but thats an easy fix

>>17056618
The only thing safe about a Smart Car is that it's slow as fuck. If you put a Hayabusa engine in it it would become a complete deathtrap.

>>17056748
Victory isn't going to be in business though and they don't share parts with other bikes

>>17056778
Aren't their safety cells meant to be pretty good? I mean you'll still go through the front window into whatever you hit at a million miles an hour but your seat will be fine.

They're short as fuck, tall as fuck, and have tiny tires, if they had any power they would be an an extremely difficult car to not crash horrendously. They survive impacts as well as other compact cars but that doesn't mean you aren't going to go flipping down the road.

This was back in October, I already have my endorsement. I'm an IT guy as well, I even offered to run to my place of work and get him the cables he needed (he forgot the video cable as well to the projector).

Team Oregon is well... at least their bikes looked clean, though this one lady in class crashed 4 or 5 times over the 2 days we were on the field training. She ended up breaking off one of the mirrors and she got to keep it as a souvenir, however I think she failed the test and that was the last I cared.

The little Suzuki I rode had a very loose throttle and I was having issues myself with keeping a steady speed. I reported the issue, one of the instructors said he'd add it to the list of other things. *shrugs* Again, south coast oregon guy here, all our field work was done in the rain v.v

It's supposed to be loose vertically, like you're supposed to be able to jiggle it up and down quite a bit. This is to make it impossible to get stuck/wedged when pulling it in or letting it out.

Sounds familiar. I took the Team Oregon course in Albany at LBCC and I had a little Suzuki shitbike that had obviously been dropped a couple times on the right side. The throttle was, as you described, super loose and it made it hard to maintain fluid throttle control.

mfw the instructor kept telling me to "go easy" with the throttle and smoothly roll on and roll off throttle. The fucking throttle was jerky as fuck, it wasn't my fault. Shitbikes. Never again.

Thankfully I had frame sliders like a good boy. Did zero damage to my bike aside from a scrape on the outside of my clutch lever.

Friggin lucky m8, I'm still waiting on parts here. Frame sliders will be in Monday to keep this from happening again.

Might pull the trigger on this nig mobile this weekend if it's still at the dealer. 24k miles, 2011 for only 6,500$. Pretty damn low and a 12 month warranty.

I'm upgrading from a CBR500R. Call me an idiot. I've just heard from so many people the throttle isn't nearly as twitchy as 600/1000 super sports and twitchy throttles are a turn off for me.

Gonna be sad not being able to flick it around like my current bike though, shit is so heavy.

>>17058657
Also, holy fuck that pic makes me realize how badly I need to clean my baiku. I haven't washed her in months.

>>17058670
That looks like a piece of technology the Kett in Mass Effect Andromeda would have grown/built. Very organic/mechanical hybrid looking. Hayabusas are funny looking, but fuck they are nice bikes.

>>17058581
Jesus fuck. How do you come to a stop without tipping??? I've had a 130 lb girl on my bike and shit was a nightmare
>bitch legs
Yea

>>17058676
I know busas get a shit ton of hate for their looks, but their look is literally 60% of the reason I'm getting it. In love with that snowflake bike look. No real edgy lines, just curvy bubbles. Love it.

>>17058670
you know you can just get a different throttle tube right?

>>17058661
Why does the side fairing on your shit bike cost thrice as much as my newer and better shit bike

>60kg
>a nightmare

What, how?

>>17058712
I'm 130 lbs myself and my bike is about 400 lbs. Maybe she was just a shit rider, but every time we came to a stop it was a struggle to bear the force of this woman + the stop... almost fell to the side a few times.

Now that I think about it, it was probably just her. I had some gutter slut who had been on cycles before and it felt like no one was with me. Prolly weighed 120~

>>17058703
Is this a meme or did he forget to put the kick stand down?
Why would anyone do that?

>>17058724
how many bikes have kickstands on that side?

>>17058704
fair enough, i can't really talk owning a liter

completely unnecessary but completely fun

Good point. Also he didnt even turn it off or kill the engine. Definitely a meme.
Either way, saved.

Dad was given this bike by his friend with 6k original miles on it and is in the process of fixing it up. Any idea what the fuck it is?

>>17058763
Looks like a Kawasaki to me

>>17058719
I've had a 80kg grill on the back of my 250kg bike. During standing still I didn't notice her, even though see tried to kill me in corners because she didn't cooperate.

That 60kg grill felt like a backpack.

Last I checked oem was about $300 painted and all. Probably so insurance has to pay out a lot. idk maybe I can salvage this one, a little JB Weld and bondo might do it. Going flush mount blinkers too, keeping it low profile.

>>17058775
>>17058779
Shit, you boys know your bikes. Thanks.
I'm excited, might be able to ride with the pops before he crosses his 60s and gets too old to even ride safely.

Not them but here's mine. Where's yours?

>>17058816
Don`t know, but I do know it was about me. I washed my DL-1000 with some caustic engine cleaner and now it looks like water marks on the engine.

I have never ridden a motorbike in my life, but i really want to get into motorcycles and i want to buy one. What motorcycle would you recomment for a total noob to buy as his first one(second hand of course)?. The budget is somewere around $3000-$5000
