I'll try again.

Which tyres should I get for touring on tarmac in bad conditions and ocasional offroading?

So far Im thinking Heidenau K60 Scout or Continental Escape.

The K60s seem to be better offroad and have a great lifespam, but they are worse in wet tarmac.
The Conti's are a bit worse offroad but good in every tarmac conditions.

Any sugestions? Bike is a Kawasaki KLE500 if that helps.

>tfw when rode a 125 and still didnt make it to be on the squad.

What ever happened to the DBT collage?

I've got my first bike (bandit 650 SA 2005) and enjoy riding, but I also need to learn how to work on it. Which job should I do first? I need to:

1 clean front brake calipers, pistons, and replace seals there.

2 change front brake discs

3 install crash bars.

Should I attempt doing this on my own? I've bought all tools, parts and I have the service manual but I'm scared I'll fuck something up and have a bad time, it is messing with brakes/engine mount bolts, after all. Any advice?

>>17137242
You mean the kill list?
Everyone died.

>>17137243
Crash bars are very easy, do the other two at the same time.

>>17137243
since you have never done any of that before, however long it says it should take it will take longer. crash bars should be easiest and fastest.

Yeah, the Nighthawk 450. I had the cb450t hawk, the one that looks like a mini cb750f. There good bikes but i would suggest a newer bike like ninja 250 or even a rebel/nighthawk 250. Mainly because parts are getting more difficult to get, i couldnt find a cam chain tensioner for a friend that needed one for his nighthawk, second its isnt faster than a rebel in a straight line and its heavier.

Alright guys, I think it's finally time.

I'm ready to add a second motorcycle to the stable. Eventual goal is 3 bikes.

- Offroad / Dual Sport (Current XR650L)
- Track / Sport (Some kind of naked sport / streetfighter)
- Comfy / Touring (Some sort of classic / cruiser)

Current bike is the XR650L. It's getting upgraded piece by piece as I break things by flogging it through trails and occasional summoning of the skid demon. Absolutely love it, incredibly comfortable on it now, and it will go damn near anywhere. It'll cruise 80-85mph at a comfortable RPM with my current sprockets, and I can get it to ~110 when uh, passing. That said, it's not super fast, or super comfortable for highway use and I'm doing more of that kind of riding recently.

So, time to get something better suited to 100-1000 mile road cruises. I do want to get a sport bike and leathers to start going to track days and such, but I think right now I'd get more use out of a highway bike of some kind. I don't know anything about these kind of bikes, where should I start looking?

Literally why

>>17138083

Get any 250-650 "standard" bike, cruiser, or dual sport.

>>17138119
anything over 60mph scares me,for now. I want to be a proficient rider, and don't really have to desire to go way over speed limit, guess i should have said i was 30 years old and not some punk kid that wants a sports bike to do wheelies and shit.

I don't want a huge, heavy as hell, full touring bike like a Goldwing or anything. I want a classic styled bike or less dadmode cruiser that I can use to commute around town, or tour on if I strap some bags on. I like the leaner, relaxed, less "leather-chap" looking bikes. I'm going to buy used, but just for a quick reference I took a browse through some current offerings. Here's a few examples of new production bikes I can stomach the looks of.

Honda CB1100 / Shadow (some models)
Yamaha SCR950 / Bolt
Harley Superlow / Forty-Eight / 1200 Custom
Triumph Bonneville

>>17138314
My buddy picked up a Shadow 750 as his first bike and it is pretty great. Depending on which Shadow you pick you can get shaft drive, so no chain maintenance. I just picked up a Triumph Street Twin about a month ago, it has been really easy to ride in slow traffic and holds itself well on the highway. I've sat on the SCR950, and, because of the peg placement, the air filter is really close to your knee. The Harley Street Rod also looks pretty interesting.

I suggest going to local places and sit on the bikes that interest you. If it's your first bike I would lean towards used, if your finances are in order.

Bandits and Busas are fine and all, but they cross over a little too much into true sportbike capability which I'm saving for a sexy nekkid of some kind down the road a bit.

>>17138350

Nah, not my first bike. I started riding dirtbikes when I was 13, and currently have an XR650L (dual sport) that I'm going to keep probably forever. Right now I'm looking to add a bike that's more comfortable for mid to long highway rides, when I don't plan on doing any riding harder than a well maintained dirt road.

>>17138301

I really like some adventure bikes, was checking out the Africa Twins at a local dealer this weekend. Man, they're big and heavy compared to my dual sport though. I worry I'd be sacrificing too much offroad capability / increasing offroad difficulty too much.

Getting that thing up if you eat shit in sand, or on a hill covered in loose leaves or something seems like it would be damn near impossible. Especially with a full set of bags loaded with camping gear.

>KTM 790 ADV

Didn't even know about this, looks sexy as fuck.

On one hand, I love the XR for its absolute reliability and ability to take abuse like a champ. The amount of damage and scars on mine do not accurately reflect the number of times I've eaten shit on it at all, it's held up way better than it should. It's pretty good at really nasty trails too.

On the other, I sure wouldn't mind a bike that didn't leave my ass feeling like I got held down and paddled by a dozen busty maidens after the first 50 miles of highway riding. Sometimes it's 50-150 or more to get to where I can take advantage of all that offroad capability.

>>17138384
I'm 6'1

comfort and reliability trumps performance for me, but I do want something that can overtake no problem on the motorway.

I just picked up a 690 Duke a week ago, and while doing a check of every component, I noticed that the manual says the chain should have .25" of play. I thought "that's tight af, but if it's what the manual says, that's that". I rode it to work the next day, and heard a ton of noise from the chain. I made a stop to check everything, saw that it was kosher, and kept going. 50 miles later, I look up the manual again, and notice that it's .25 from swingarm to chain.

I re-adjusted it, but I still hear some noise. How bad did I fuck my bike up?

Keeping the chain too tight can also wear the countershaft assembly but that takes probably thousands of miles.

Easiest way to do that is to not ride bro

You know what to do

>>17138972
I rode through some marsh at dusk for like an hour and my visor got like twice as many as that, it was disgusting.

>one day you'll understand aesthetics
Human facial attractiveness is hugely based on symmetry. Humans love symmetry, and in the absence of symmetry, balance is required for it to not look like shit.
tl;dr you also know nothing of aesthetics.

The best thing you can do is take out a low interest personal loan and buy used. That's not for poor people, that's for people who have better things to do with their money.

If you really are rich it will show in ways that are not accessible to poor people, like loans on new vehicles worth <$200k.

People who aren't poor don't need a loan for a used bike

The f800r also looks really good with a headlight conversion imo (which I would do if I do end up going with it).

>>17138998
did you get ticketed for the wheelie or was it just a warning?

>>17139017
You can save used bike money working a mcjob. People who aren't poor don't drop thousands at once if it's not on a down payment.

>blow half your savings
>now have less to invest over time

>>17139021
just a warning
pretty sure the cop was literally fucking with me the whole time, telling me I didn't have a motorcycle license and shit and that a wheelie is reckless driving in UT and he could take me to jail

>>17139025

The average person who thinks they're rich for buying in cash usually has 10-20 grand and it's all in liquid assets because they're financial retards.

The kind of person that will never have more than 10-20 grand in liquid assets.

If at any point you are going to spend a lot of money at once, don't, because you won't be able to collect interest on that money once it's in the other party's wallet. The less money you spend at once the more interest you can collect, and the more interest you can collect on investments the closer your shit gets to being free.

You are just repeating things that everyone who isn't an idiot learned in high school.

Point was that if you think you're not poor, but buying a used bike is half you're savings account, you're wrong.

Stop that.

I said YOUR savings, not MY savings, because you're on 4chan and are probably some autist that didn't have a job until his 20s.

That's the vast majority of the USA though.

63% of americans don't have enough savings to cover a $500 emergency.
