>>17179462
Perform a charging system check per your service manual using a voltmeter.

Learn battery resting voltage and charging system voltage. Both exceed 12 volts which is nominal system voltage. If ur battery is 12v or barely over without engine running there's a problem. If engine running doesn't increase voltage to spec, there's a charging system problem.

Never jump start a bike off a running auto lest ye fry shit.

make sure that the tools you buy are metric / non metric whatever you need for your bike. torque wrenches are recommended and an impact wrench makes some things easier.

On the bright side I met two guys with a r6 and a bike I couldn't identify yesterday, will be riding with them sometimes soon

I think my clutch is slipping lads
everything is just fine up to about half throttle but at full throttle,
Rpms go way up, bike moves but not as fast as i think it should
Then the sound and rpms stable out and it pulls a little better.
My friend said it might be running too rich and to fix that first though.

To be honest, it never even occurred. Nothing on their website indicated that they were not up and running, and they listed normal sales hours. I also assumed that a BMW dealership would have their newest model on hand for at least a test drive.

i've chosen this as one of two choices because, well... it's a dual-sport, it's light and it's wouldn't hurt as bad if i dropped it, both physically and mentally.
it's also an overall good beginner bike and it's elevated stance and suspensions are good for the streets of addis.
i would also like to take apart the engine and learn as much about bike, not just ride them so...

i like it because although it shies in comparison to the bikes that you guys ride, it nevertheless has that sporty feel to it with the fairings and the lower handlebars. but it's big!!! i'm afraid that i might not learn how to ride properly if i buy it now, and i'm also worried that taking this one apart would be near impossible for me.

i forgot to include that i also like the sound and the smoke that the dt-stroker emits.
and as much as i would like to import a used motorcycle from elsewhere, the taxes in ethiopia are nearly triple the cost of the vehicle.

So, I want to stick an early 80s cr250r Elsinore motor in a grom. Think it can be done? I'm asking because my neighbor has the motor and he'd give it to me for $80 in perfect working condition, and there's a Grom with a blown engine for $900 locally.

Is it an okay idea or just not feasible in any way?

the only thing worse than buying a shitbike is buying a "shitbike" that is mechanically okay and could easily go another 100k miles with just factory service manual maintenance if you don't trash second gear with poorly executed clutchless upshifts, but is undesirable otherwise

Bitch nobody is going to wave to your awkward ass if they're too busy riding

I've seen riders accidently stall their bikes taking their hands off the clutch when holding it in 1st at lights. I presume that's when they learn to not fucking wave at everybody.

The bolts for the clutch?
The bolts that go into the springs need to be about 7 ft-lbs i think. Same for the bolts that go around the cover. Get a manual and follow directions exactly.
If you didnt think you would need a torque wrench, read the directions 20 times before you start.

Fucking dealers. The one near me has a "free installation with the purchase of a set of tires!" deal. They quoted me $550 for a new set, and said "nothing cheaper is available". The exact same tires they quoted me can be purchased for $355 online, and another set with a somewhat shorter lifespan but otherwise the same for $165. The same shop charged me $65 to put a new tube in my dual sport. I'm never going there for service again.

Thanks guys, always great to have /pol/ show up to help perpetuate the idea that westerners are all racist assholes.

>>17180529

Because to the Western world (or first world, in our minds) the entirety of Africa is essentially a violent anarchist expanse. Governments consist of clashing warlords and corrupt barely-clinging-to-power dictatorships. Most Africans are uncivilized and live in incredible poverty despite vast natural resources. Besides maybe parts of SA and the Muslim kingdoms it's a lawless wilderness of roaming savages, with little distinction between "countries" that have uncertain contested borders.

Not saying that's how it is, but that's how it's viewed generally. Mention bgoing to anywhere in Africa for anything but a guided photo safari and people look at you like you're crazy.

Don't get me wrong, I know that.

I would love to do a cross-Congo trip but it seems sketchy there. I wouldn't feel safe without a gun and I'm afraid if I got caught with one by corrupt police I'd rot in jail or be hung by my toes or something. If I didn't get robbed first.

A pretty fair assessment, especially the total degeneracy. Still, even with all the nignog crime, shootings, and terrorism our total violent crime is wayyyy below anywhere in Africa. Using "feral nigs running wild" coming from an actual African nation is pretty funny though.

Honda was making a statement with this in 1982, and the statement was comfy.

No afranon, it's gay.

I'm straight looking and acting, married, and a crossdresser.

Know what that's makes me? Pretty gay.

If you and the dealer aren't too far on price they should accept the deal after some delaying. Just remember to not be pressured because they're the ones not making money and you can walk away. If all else fails just be frank with them and say you literally can't go above X

>>17180971
i must admit some honda's bikes are more comfortable, yes, but i dont like its aesthetics
also the "v" engines are my passion, also i dont like the boxer's

Only things gays should be banned from is adoption and marriage.

I hate gays honestly but the should at least have human rights,

Just lift, lift till you can`t even be considered a weak opponent.

Nothing wrong with that anon, some things just come down to taste.

not every 90° twin is a L-twin, thats reserved for the ducati configuration where ony cylinder is parallel to the ground.

Gay adoptions molest children at high rates than non gays. Also marriage is for a man and women, gays can have civil unions if they want but not marriage.

Degenerates should be able to practice their filth in the comfort of their homes. What bother me is that I can`t discriminate based on their filthy doings.

Their should be no such things as a hate crime, only normal crimes.

>>17181058
V-twin sound a best, enjoy your whirring straight four hair dryers.

Nevermind faggotals, it's a CBR954RR.

The few models that rev to the moon are actually the only good thing about inline fours. During normal cruising at steady RPM they all sound like complete crap, and low reving ones sound like crap the entire time.

>People who constantly upshift at <20% of redline and chug their bikes at low RPM.
>People who wrap the tach to red on every shift in 40mph traffic.

Who is worse?

>>17181311
Go ride, you shit.

>cleaning bike with spaghetti monster glove thing
>can't get caked in dirt/brake dust off rims
>decide fuck it and use rough part of dishwashing sponge

Wtf I hate "motorcycle products"

>>17181318
when people go up to redline at least one person is having a good time

>>17181319
I already did, now i'm tired and bored

>>17181318
which one would be mechanically worse?

assuming they are both already warmed up.

>>17181318
>he can't chug along at low revs
Inline four problems to be honest. Large single thumper master race.
