lol if you're riding a poo in the loo bike for any reason other than it was cheap then you're a fool

125 is more than enough edition

>>17129018
the only acceptable 125 is a 2 stroke.

I posted a couple threads ago about fixing up my step dad's old KLR250.
I just found out that my step dad got his KLR250 brand new, it has 7,600km on it and he never got it serviced. At all.

Sort of worried that I've done some running around on it now.

>>17129058
Not even the free 600 mile break in service?

>>17129058
7600km isn't that much.

>>17129058
if it ever sat for more than 6 months without starting it will probably blow up within 15 hours of riding

>>17129024
take a photo of the side fairings/lever ends
just to prove you did buy it new

>>17129113
I never bought new.
That guy with a r125 did

Then you're pretty stupid, unless you are on the track, riding competitively.

>>17129128
sure all of the engine parts not bathed in oil and full of moisture from condensation which are made of hardened steel won't rust at all, you are right and i am wrong.

>>17129141
You must have been with that shitter reading comprehension

>>17129143
>you are right and i am wrong.
Yep. Are you forgetting how common it is for motorcycles to be put in storage for half a year or more?

>>17129135

Riding competitively, yes. On the track? Not every time (half and half).

>>17129149
and the damage that it causes if they are not started at least every month?
yes.
even your lawn mower is supposed to be started monthly for the same reason.

>>17129153
Please consider drowning yourself in the sink and then never give mechanical advice ever again

>moisture
>inside of your engine
wait what? are you suggesting water can get through your engine casing through osmosis or something?

there shouldn't ever be moisture in your engine and condensation is from water vapour which doesn't exist inside of an engine

>>17129157
not him but the bike in the op pic did around about what he is describing but it sat for like 2 years before it was ridden and blown up

>>17129166
Unless you store the bike in a pool

>>17129158
With the retardation of >>17129159 it could very well be shit kat

>>17129139
how can you not know what caused you to spill?

>>17129172

Easy. I've lost the rear plenty chasing lap times and I couldn't tell you what did it if I was being honest. Sometimes shit just happens at speed. Could be a dozen different things that did it and you'll never know.

>>17129172
brain damage maybe?

>>17129166
It can come in via the exhaust valves.

>>17129167
It's a KTM that was bound to happen regardless.

It's fine for an engine to run for the half second it takes until it gets splashed in oil. https://youtu.be/eASCK9BDMEU

>>17129172
You do after the fact, it's not really on the top of your mind as you're sliding down the highway and full of adrenaline.

>>17129182
When I crashed I only thought "Why did I do that!?"
Pretty sure I knew why I was in that situation.

>>17129185
When I was sliding I was focused on getting up so the speeding vehicle I was trying to avoid didn't run me over

>>17129021

Aprilia RSV4 FW GP

$150 000, 250+HP, pneumatic valves you have to charge before every ride, and your personal engineer that will set it up perfectly for you.

It's basically the same bike they provide for motogp

>>17129161
one of them is surely the vyrus
it uses an already super powerful ducati twin that is supercharged to reach more than 210hp
the rest of the bike is pretty much hand made by a single guy who is the dude that created the bimota tesi, so it uses a rather complex centre hub steering to have the best possible braking stability
also, this 1200cc supercharged monster makes an extensive use of carbon fibre and titanium so it weighs a scarcely believable 154kg

>>17129250
Why do they use ducati motors instead of something decent?

HI
Does anyone have the video of someone starting up their honda bike only for the camera to pan over and its just their lawnmower?

>>17129259
They actually have great power/weight.

Panigale beats the new cbr1000rr sp even with its new power and weight reduction and it was the favorite bike amongst reviewers for 2017

>>17129161
another honorable mention is the suter mmx 500 which is actually a 576cc FUEL INJECTION two stroke
no, I don't know how that works either
the weight is 127kg and it raced in the isle of man tt so it should have quite a bit of developing put into it to make it a fine racing bike
it's also an undersquare engine so that should make up for the small displacement
did I mention it's a glorious two stroke machine?

>>17129250
What a shitty supercharger, the Panigale already makes about 180 stock.

>>17129259
because they're super light
how else are you supposed to supercharge a 1200cc engine on a centre hub steered bike and keep the weight at 154kg?

>>17129280
>a supercharger is good only if it turns your bike in a crappy dragster
>what is torque
>what is power delivery

yeah, anon, Ascanio Rodorigo knows nothing about engineering or motorcycles and you are very much right

>>17129284
Ok, what's the torque on it?

>>17129277
so it's loud, stinks and does 15mpg

>>17129286
erm... I have no fkn clue
anyway it's useless to discuss because this is a bike that costs a fortune and none of us will ever ride

>>17129291

I never thought of that before
there's some lights that refuse to turn green for my little bike because I don't think it triggers the sensors
might give this a try

>>17129421
Are American traffic lights not on timers?

>>17129446
Most use cameras to adjust the timing surring high traffic. they don't like to pickup bikes.

>>17129434
There's one I have to wait like 3 minutes for every night so I just put my bike in neutral and chill for a bit
>>17129446
depends on the light, the lesser used ones have sensors.

>>17129421
Oh neat. We don't have those here so if I'm cycling I need to fish around for the sensor with my pedal until I give up just go through the red.

>>17129446
In Australia they're mostly demand-based. Eg a small road crossing a larger road will sit on red until someone actually stops and triggers the sensor in the road surface.

>>17129461
It turns green for other cars the second that pull up, so I know it isn't ever going to change green for me

Also thanks for witnessing my quads :3c

I usually do, the others didn't so I guess I wouldn't bother. Still no wider than a car, and I've been parking like this for years now with no tickets.

>>17129984
Ask the city/cops for clarification on the ticket.

I ride without a license. Doesn't mean I should.

>>17129446
Most are, but many of them have some level of demand based logic that adjusts the times. You'll also find some situations (usually left-hand turn lanes) that only get a green if a vehicle is detected. In some states, there are specific regs that give motorcyclers an affirmative offense to go through a red light if 'a reasonable person would believe that enough time had transpired to indicate a failure of the traffic control system' or some such.

>>17130022
What clarification? I got ticketed because I was parked perpendicular to the driving direction, it's pretty clear why. It's just that it's pants on head retarded. If I parked parallel
a) the 4 bikes would take up around 3 spaces if parked in line
b) when parked parallel, a car driver might mistake the spot for an empty one from afar, attempt to park and not see the bike (yes, Berlin drivers are literally this retarded)
c) when parking 2x2 we'd be forced to park too closely to get on/off the bike
d) when parking 2x2 we'd get ticketed for parking side by side
REEEEEEEE

>>17129981

>>17130031
Park at an angle. The bike should be visible in a left hand drive car.

€15 is a slap on the wrist

Not even time to honk, just cat like reflexes on the brakes.

>>17130045
It technically is at a slight angle. Still, if it's no wider than a car, why bother and waste parking space?

>>17130046
Yeah, we're not quite as cucked here when it comes to minor shit like this. Berlin cops also generally don't care if you park on the sidewalk, if you aren't blocking anything.
I'll appeal this bullshit, I don't see why I should pay when I've parked sensibly. And I guess I'll either park parallel and risk getting it thrown over by mad cagers again, or park on the sidewalk and be more annoying than when parked perpendicular.
Fuck this whole thing, I'm too mad to even play videogames now.

>>17130076
That's why you lane split at max 15 km/h in rural areas and look over or through cars to spot peds early.

What's the best plan for a 21 year old in the UK? Do CBT and immediately go for the A2 test? I have my driving license so road experience isn't a problem, and I've never had problems with my balance on a bicycle before, so I think I might be ok?

Supersport as a first bike in general isn't a great idea, but it's doable if you really want to.
They're all pretty comparable but the F4i is the best 600 (for the street) from that generation in my opinion. The ZX would be my next choice.

The ZX-6R is the Kawasaki 600cc supersport. The 2000-2002 ZX-6R was re-released in 2005-2008 as a ZZR600 as well so you will be able to find the same model over many years for generally really cheap.

The reason I would choose the F4i is because it got fuel injection before the other japanese 600s, which didn't make the change until 2003. It's also super durable so it's not likely to break if you abuse it. Also it was produced practically unchanged (aside from the seat change) from 2001-2007 and was very popular so there's tons of information and parts available for them.

Hey thanks a bunch guys!

Last question here, and i believe its a stupid question...The bolts are as pictured below (except the head is Phillips). If my local hardware store doesn't have these style of bolts (smooth before the head, unsure of proper name) can i just use bolts that are threaded all the way to the head?

Are choppers bad for beginners?

Smoothed off section has a bigger cross section than thread for the same hole diameter and can therefore transmit slightly higher forces. But usually the safety factors in engineering are high enough for it not to make a difference.

What's the go-to sportbike front tire in 120/70?

I normally run a sport/touring tire in the back and the grippiest rubber I can in the front. That was the Q2 when I last rode a few years ago. Got a cupped Pilot Power on the front right now and a Conti Motion on the back.

just get the cheapest part worn off brand Chinese slick you can. Tyres all come out the same factory and they just put different patterns on them to make you pay more

Worked pretty well for my first hundred thousand miles. I expect 6,000 miles out of a rear tire and the softer ones never got near that. Pilot Power 2's normally got me right around 7k before thread showing.

If you don't put miles on a bike sure run a soft rear.

edit: Pilot ROAD 2's my bad.

Not F1 enough. Redline far too low.

Please replace your tires earlier than that.

Thanks for the advice, daddy. I've ridden some rears where you can't even tell it's about to go until you're hours from home. Ridden back on quite a few cords, you just have to be careful.

>>17131164
you know they design those tires to have the front fit the rear yes? Like on wet road with the Bridgestone S20 the front is meant to push the water away from the inside so the rear can push it further, it doesnt work if you just mix them. They arent slicks.

But i guess you know better than professional engineers.

>>17131195
It's not about whether you can wheel it home it's about the fucking grip you don't have in the wet because you're basically driving slicks.
