Yeah that's my bike
>maintenance
It's shaft drive, hydraulic clutch and front brake. So basically just oil changes and checking on the rear brake cable. Everything else I do once a year
>or two
I'm bored of the power from mine desu, it's faster than most cars but it's not fast for a bike. If you're not looking for speed it's probably more than good enough though.
Only things I don't like:
>gears are fucking short
I will sometimes get to third before clearing an intersection from a stop
>footpegs are low
It's a cruiser obviously, I scrape my pegs a lot on turns because I don't ride it like it's designed for.
Honestly it's a good bike. I think you'll like it if you get it. I'm just not the person the bike is made for.

MURRIKA!!!
(insert flag)

>>17194524
They're not like full bar risers, just at a slightly higher angle, more parallel to the triple clamp rather than bent down. PO said they were the highest ones he could fit under the fairing and I haven't fucked with them because I like it.

>>17194559
they still look like they're as low as the seat. Props to you if your back can put up with that.

>>17194564

>>17194564

>>17194566
I'm 6'3" with freakishly long arms and a short torso so my back is almost vertical, like 70-80 degrees, it's really not bad.

Yes and no. My shadow was much more fun in town because it was super loud, looked better and turned more heads. Also it had torque everywhere. The fz is more fun everywhere else especially when going very fast on the highway

>>17194639
miles really don't matter. Practice matters. Some people ride thousands and thousands of miles and never git gud because they never put in the effort to practice and learn good technique.

So make a conscience effort to git gud and you can be a "good" rider (by comparison to average) within 6k miles. You can probably be good enough to ride a supersport as well as anything else after a single day of practice on whatever beginner bike you choose.

Grass was very wet, i was leaned a bit and i got on the throttle in third gear and the rear broke loose instantly

1982 Suzuki 650, slowly lost power over a minute or so then shut off. It was doing fine all day until this point, it was about 50 degrees and a crazy amount of wind. Wouldn't start back up until I used the choke. Any idea what could cause this? Is it just too cold?

dbt help pls. My bike ('16 ninja 300) has been running fine except for one thing, I'll turn it on and idle it while I roll it out of the garage and close the door, tfw no automatic garage door, and sometimes when I give it some throttle in neutral the rpms will drop or even stall completely. This bike has ~1450 miles on it and only started doing it relatively recently. wat do??

Don't take him to the best roads.
Hang back, so he doesn't feel pushed.

Stop and talk about the riding, so you can give him some advice (if he wants that).

>>17195825
Ah, not a whole lot you can do in that situation then I suppose.

I was looking at AGV a new helmet because I get 60% off msrp through my work, but I ended up going with an Arai instead. Still kinda want a new Corsa or Veloce to mess about with as a backup helmet.

>>17195846
I think you'll be fine with a Corsa, it's literally 100s more for a couple more ounces.

>>17195950
I mean, the Pista is literally the same helmet MotoGP riders use, do you think there won't be a premium for such things? You want one of the best helmets on the market you will have to pay for it.

I paid nearly 1000 dollars for my Arai, money well spent if you ask me.

you seem to be under the impression that both cylinders get the ignition on the same rotation in V-twin engines.

They dont.

Same with the 270° setup of the trixie, the timing is exactly the same. You could have a 270° parallel twin and a 90° V-twin next to each other and have them run entirely synchronised.

In Germany it's legal to drive vehicles directly from your home to the registration agency or inspection and back without plates if you already have proof of insurance for it. Is it not the case for the Netherlands? Does everything without plates have to be transported to the inspection?

>>17196621
Uhm no. I had the german guy (he and his eife were really kind btw) deregister the bike, then put it i the van and drove home. my gf and I had some schnitzels and french fries. Really great good man.

Anyway, I had to make a one-day number plate to ride the bike to the inspection, pic related lol. The bike also had to be on private property until it has the permanent plate.

What's fucked up imo is that it's illegal for someone from the Netherlands to use a non-dutch vehicle on dutch roads. My mother in law wanted to import
>muhhh porsche
From germany. She got a fine for using that vehicle on dutch roads. It's seen as tax evasion because muhhh road taxes.

Yeah did some minor stuff today

Took the calipers off to check the pads, still got some left for the track sessions tomorrow, will probably have to replace them afterwards though.

Gave the old chain a good clean with wd40 and relubed it, feeling a lot smoother now. I think I'll tighten it a tad bit and all in all bike seems to be okay, still have to put the maintenance covers on the side back in.

Let's hope I don't get any surprises tomorrow.

Wutchu doing over there anon?

Yes, no reason to just go for a 400, but I quite liked the idea of a lightweight bike to prat around on

>>17196688
Most 400s you'll find are going to be heavier than modern 600s unless you buy an MX racer.

>>17196688
dirt bike with dual sport trim or motard wheels would be your best bet then if you are worried about being cramped.

alternatively look at bikes like the Kawasaki ER-5N/Ninja 500 or maybe the newer Honda CB500F or cbr500

Because the permanently "cucked" bike is made to use its entire rev range, and will also be lighter. The temporarily cucked bike is basically a large bike that kills the throttle at half the rev limit.

>tfw not learned to ride yet, now 24 so no A2 licence necessary when I do.

Turbobusa here I come.

>>17196345
he posted last week and said he was superbusy and stuff

>>17196887
I imagine because higher cc bikes are heavier. Restricting them to the lower cc doesn't make them any lighter, which fucks up the power/weight ratio they're designed for

>swim unassisted at x speed in water?
>or use a motor designed to push you at x speed through jello, but restricted to only have as much power as a human swimmer?

idk, that analogy is stretched but whatever

>>17196917
I forgot to specify you're still going through jello in the second option

>tfw same but 28
Not insane though, probably gonna start on a 600 Revere. Dat standard bike look with dat (in comparison to Harleys) high revving V-twin sound (it's basically a Japanese Ducati!), also dat single side swingarm with integrated shaft drive.

>>17196887
You say temporally cucked as if you don't still have to ride it like that, on a restricted bike you:

Have a load of unnecessary weight, making it slower than an equally powered 300
Have wider tyres than you need, so steering feels wrong
Pay insurance of the larger bike, with none of the benefits, possibly paying more than an unrestricted version as it's "modified"
Fuck up your AFRs with some restriction types
Lose more value on the bike, because 300s are artificially locked in value, and that won't change
Lose power when you should be making more of it, which is incredibly unhelpful when learning to ride
Develop a hatred for motorcycles and everything they stand for

There is NO benefit to buying a restricted bike unless you're too fucking cool to be seen on a 300

Riders already look like huge cunts just going by on their bikes. Does it get better or even worse when you actually get a bike and start talking to them?

>>17196967
We're just cunts. All of us.

Better not talk to anyone with a bike. They have better shit to do and will just call you a faggot.

mirin michael rutter's late breaking in the supertwins

>oh shit he just got dropped tho

>>17196990
>braking
fuck me

>that pass on the straight by Jessop
wtf

>>17196967
1200GS riders are stuck up bitches
Squids aren't worth your time
Rest are fine.

>>17197010
Squids are the most likely to be normal people.

Normal people don't want to walk into the grocery store wearing an alpinestars GP tech jacket.

>hey do you race?
>n-n-no

>>17197020
But I don't want to talk with normalpeople.

>>17197010
What about dirtbrap and supermoto faggots?

>he doen't consider a KTM a red flag to talking to

What wonderland do you hail from?

>soldiers who don't wear body armor are most likely to be normal people
>climbers who don't wear harnesses are most likely to be normal people
>astronauts who don't wear helmets are most likely to be normal people

normal people wear appropriate clothes

>>17197044
No, actually normal people are pretty irresponsible and clueless most of the time.

>I'll just powerslide my Mustang out of this parking lot with everyone looking, what can possibly go wrong?

>>17197027
whats wrong with people who own a ktm?

>>17196965
>start thinking about biking
>of course talking with people about it as I get used to the idea
>two friends (from totally different states and circles) say things like "I've been thinking about getting a bike too, maybe a shadow" or "oh man I should get my license same time as you and we could hoon together when you come back"
>weeks later I fb the one nearby when I'm scheduling my MSF course to see if he can come the same day
>no response
>weeks later get my endorsement and post a pic to the other friend
>"sweet, dude, but don't kill yourself lol"
This is hard
I guess it's like college or religion or the army or death, it's too much to expect any of your current friends to experience the same kind drive that you experienced to take this kind of major life step with you. You have to make it by yourself and make new friends with the other people who've already made that decision and are waiting on the other side.

>>17197053
You have normal people, autists and retards, don't confuse them.

>>17197063
yeah it is called meeting new people.
i have dozens of road riding buddies and dirt riding buddies that i don't really see unless we are riding bikes.

>>17197065
I consider retards the norm.

>>17196959
>finally got a grill with fuck potential on the back even though scared as fuck.
>crash and break hand next week

Well, that was fun while it lasted

I rode to a bar last night and got wasted. Now I have to walk back and pick up my bike.
>also holy fucking hangover

>>17197084

>/fa/ here

would this make a good first bike?

>>17197084
>not riding home blasted
good move

>>17197084
Hurts less than if you tried to ride it back.

>>17197085
Dont be like me
>>17197089
Yeah I don't remember how I got back home but I guess I was smart enough not to ride.

>>17197087
no
get something in the 300 range
650-800 class is more second bike territory
