Why do people say that you can accidentally loop yourself with a 600? This is the biggest load of baloney I have heard in years. I do have an older 600 with only 100 to the wheel but the only chance this bike ever has at anything resembling a wheelie is cracking it wide open in first after loading the suspension and swinging your weight back.

Sorry sweetie, but you wont loop yourself on a 600.

fuckin redditors man

they are the worst

>>17305274
The reason it's not recommended to start on a 600 is because you'll likely end up like that that yammienoob fag and delet your bike into a Porsche.

>>17305274
You need to be experience to do this. Too many n00bs attempt a loop with a 600 and fail.

what motorcycle do you got?

>>17305258

It's fine anon, that's the natural cycle of things. As you gain experience and maturity on a motorcycle, you start to appreciate qualities that weren't important to you before.

For the first few years of riding dual sports on the road, hooning about, doing wheelies, and romping over curbs like an asshole, I thought it was the ideal bike and I'd never want any other style of motorcycle. I took it on long trips, and it wasn't particularly comfortable to do so, but I told myself I was a more "pure" rider for just doing it and not complaining. Not giving in to "slow" and "creature comforts".

A few years go by and I started thinking about how nice it would be to go on some long distance rides without having to get off and massage my ass every 100 miles or shake the numbness out of my thoroughly vibrated hands. Could never bring myself to sell the dual sport, but I bought an old Goldwing on a whim that was listed in the local classifieds and have zero regrets. I'm still planning on adding a supersport for the track, but there's no replacement for a comfy touring bike or cruiser. Plus, I can actually afford to have two or three bikes now where I certainly couldn't when I was younger.

>>17305384
>less bruising to ones self-esteem
I don't have any so that's okay

>>17305274

m8 it wouldn't be that hard for me to loop myself on my 650cc 40hp dual sport if I went full retard on a launch or in first gear.

Novice riders trying to push the limits can wreck themselves on anything.

>>17305389
'82 Honda CM250C

Not being able to safely ride on the freeway is a bit of a pain in the ass. 55 mph is pretty much the top safe speed. I've had it up to 72 mph, but that involving tucking it like a MotoGP, on a downhill, in 40° F air. Have trouble maintaining 55 in hilly areas.

What's a maymay only bikers get? I'm talking real obscure ones, chicken strips is entry level.

You can loop a 300 with enough stupidity dude, the power curve of a 600 in particular means a dumb new rider can easily go from "this is fine" to "oh fuck o'clock" with aggressive launches.

My thumper vibrates the mirrors so badly at speed that all you see is the general blurry shape of any object.

When I see a vehicle in my mirrors that might be a cop, I have to grab the mirror and hold it to dampen the vibes enough to see if it has lights or markings of any kind.

I haven't found a fix.

Nope, but for $1500 I figure I'd see how cruisers actually are to ride for awhile instead of just swallowing /dbt/s memes hook, line, and sinker. If I end up hating it then I'll just list it on CL and get my money back. If I end up enjoying it... well I've been in a dry spell and a hole is a hole.

I think there's an anon that has one who posts from time to time, but I don't remember if they actually had the bike or just wanted one. You can't get them in my country, so I really don't know much about them.

>>17305471

My bike is more of a "Touring Standard" than a cruiser in the 1940's style V-twin that generally defines cruisers, but I wear a full face helmet 100% of the time. On that bike, gloves probably 80% of the time, boots 80% of the time. I'd wear a jacket 90% of the time or so, but my old cheapshit jacket doesn't fit any more and I'm currently saving for a quality new jacket.

My dual sport I wear helmet and gloves 100% of the time and boots if I'm going anywhere but the grocery store. Same story on the jacket.

Bit of a niche,

popular with the boomers. Think Ducati scrambler before the Ducati scrambler.

Modern renditions are relatively expensive to buy, performance isn't anything to write home about. The twinny is at it's last legs, getting more wheezy with every new round of Euro environmental restrictions.

Old ones aren't too shabby. Reliable work horse which doesn't ask for much. Nato over here used them.

Seems they are comfortable being in the margin and Piaggo group is letting them stay there.

Not bad bikes that. Pretty too.

some Dutch lads in a shed did the hossack front end before Britten. This was the bike that inspired him to follow suit.

So just kind of mediocre compared to other new bikes, but with a heavy nostalgic appeal. Kind of like the current Triumph Bonneville / Thruxton / Scrambler.

Close, it's an XR. The factory mirrors didn't vibrate as bad, but I replaced them with some smaller aftermarket round mirrors and they get a pretty good vibration blur at high RPM.

I'm pretty sure I have some pictures of those but I sure as hell won't venture my 3000+ pictures folder to find it.

I really love the sound, and the idea of the Honda V4's. Magnas and Sabres keep popping up for cheap on Craigslist, but I've read real horror stories about getting the carbs in and out.

I really don't mind carbs as long as they're fairly easy to remove for maintenance or adjustment and reinstall, but any time I've had to wrestle and twist a carb for 30 minutes I start seeing red and wanting to hurl wrenches through my garage wall or at passing cars.

There are a lot of bikes that sound great! Aprilia makes some great sounding bikes, but honestly you're asking the wrong guy at the moment because I've got such a fucking hard-on for that I4 sound that isn't cross-plane because you might as well have a V4.

Long story, but from what I'm told the ignition coil, at certain rmps, send a signal to the fuel pump relay and that activates the fuel pump. Until that, the pump simply acts as a gravity pump (from what ive researched.)

also, the bike will start and idle (did before i took the fucker apart, need gas to make sure it still starts)

But it still started and idled very well, when you reved the bike it leaned out and would die.
took the carbs aparts, cleaned up, new fuel pump relay, tested the pump with 12v power straight to the pump and it works, so im hoping everything works.

The CDI provides power to the coils when it's time for them to fire. Your CDI is wired to both your coils and your fuel pump relay, so I would assume that at a certain RPM, your fuel pump relay eventually receives enough power to open, and activate the pump, like you said.

If your CDI were bad, you bike wouldn't even run. What is the actual electrical issue you're having?

>>17306353
Offroad sportbikes best bikes

>>17306360
bike didnt want to rev over 3500-4000rpm (what the internet tells me is when the fuel pump is supposed to kick on)

pulled the relay, did an ohm reading of it and got literally nothing. Ordered a new oem relay, installed it, and put the bike mostly back together.

Im just lookning for someone to basically say either "yea, it should run correctly when you put gas in it" or 'nah, you have bigger problems'

It wasn't even rough terrain. IDK why normies have the idea sport bikes can't leave pavement.

>>17306370
Could be a vacuum leak somewhere, my last ninja 250 all of a sudden wouldn't rev over 6k until I cleaned the carb. Could be a dead fuel pump. Could be a clogged fuel filter. Could be your coil or CDI is shot and can't fire fast enough but it's more likely fuel.

>>17306370
Also, just because your fuel pump turns on doesn't mean it's working, they usually die slowly.

Hey guys

'83 CB450SC anon here. Idk if you guys remember, but I picked up this bike for $560 3 weeks ago in not-running condition.

$18 later and I got it to run today.

Bad starter solenoid and semi-seized starter. After using my car battery to send 725 CCA to the starter, the thing started up. Put two fresh gallons of gas in and it's running great.

Onto the cosmetics and then insuring it.

I'm very happy. I'll post better photos someday.

Thank you to the anon who suggested checking the starter solenoid.

Also potentially getting a job out in Arizona. If the interview goes well, I plan on riding the bike from New York City to AZ.

If it breaks I'll take a plane to finish out the journey.

>>17306381
Am I missing something, or does cop look like he could bench press you and your bike?

>>17306388
i havent found any vacuum leaks, the fuel pump seems good so im hoping i dont need another, the fuel filter is brand new, coils seem good, and if my cdi was back my bike would be fucked.

i'm just hoping my issue is solved.

Nice anon. I'm the anon with the '82 CB750SC that told you to go for it.

I actually live in Phoenix, so if you end up out in AZ we'll hit some of the good roads.

update: just put gas in my bike

Got it to start up. But stalled after about 30 seconds of running.
i feel like the pump is still not working

>>17306702
Thanks.
Starting my research now

>>17305419
Bro, I am telling you right now that it is a complete meme. My bike is 100hp at the wheel with 44 ft/lb of torque. The only possible way to get this bike's front wheel in the air is to let off the throttle at around 11k rpm in 1st and then crack it open again while swinging your weight back. That is it. It wont even come close to coming up under hard acceleration or any other way

>>17306708
Nice man. Thank you for the support.

The position I'm looking at is located in some frontier town called "Page." In 2-3 weeks, I should know the outcome.

Oh man, all the way up by Powell. Well you're close to some of the most beautiful parts of Arizona AND Utah. North rim of the grand canyon is phenomenal.

We did a short ride to Flagstaff on Sunday, and are planning a run up to Kaibab national forest soon. Have to get North from Phoenix this time of year to not sweat your ass off.

ive spent the past 30 minutes letting the bowls, hopefully, gravity fill. Going to go try it.

if it doesnt work im puttnig a new fucking pump in it.

Vulcan 800 looker here. It was shit. The tank had rust, the brackets had rust, the chain was rust, the fucking fan cover was rusted. And not just surface rust, but that weird fluffy rust that killed any hope of actually metal being under the rust. Also most of the cables and hoses were sun rotted and the tires were cracked. I really wish CL allowed for higher resolution pictures.

I am now looking at a VLX600 that does have some paint wear and torn seat. The carb is spitting up fuel but the seller works for a local dealer and is supposed to get the shop to look at it tomorrow. Otherwise it seems fairly well kept.

Because newbies who only ride on the street and never, ever practice with their bike ands slowly try to get comfy accidentally discover the powerband RIGHT after watching a youtube video on how to launch

600s are great starter bikes otherwise if you discount the uncomfortable riding position and tiny steering lock.

>>17305342
Insurance cares more about your exact bike and bikes similar to it based on accident/claim rates and rider demographics, so a 1 liter harley isn't as expensive to insure as a 1 liter UJM which isn't as expensive to insure as a yamaha R1.

'82 CM250C that won't get past 55 reporting in... I broke 500 miles today (571) and I'm not dedz! I did discover something disturbing though... Was riding rather late (just got back and it is 0015 here). While idling after pumping gas, I noticed the light show baiku was giving on one of her cylinder heads... Da fuq? Apparently I have a very bad spark plug boot, and it is arcing to the cylinder head.

It is too late to wrenching tonight (this morning?), but tomorrow I'll pop the plug out and have a look. It would be a tad bit upsetting to find that my saucy little baiku had only been giving me half of her charm.

could be many thing, people that fat where i live are like circus freaks they just don't exist though.

I think they get that fat because they eat more food than calories they burn + the fact that they have enough energy stored in their fat that they could probably get away without eating for a few months and still have fat to burn but they still keep eating excessive amounts of food.

Things like you do not need 3 full sized meals in a day if you are doing literally nothing but sit on your arse at a computer, thats just asking to get fat.

That and fat people seem to think you ALWAYS need some food in your stomach, them tummy rumbles are like being stabbed for a fat person....

I used to think the same thing, but I understand now.
I'm literally never satiated. I have free food at work all day, my job is mentally taxing. I get up every hour or two and wanna grab a snack from the kitchen. I can easily eat two meals at a restaurant without feeling full. It wasn't like this back in college. I've gained about 5 lbs recently so I'm making an effort to cut down, but I understand the feeling. It's a hell of a lot more satisfying to grab a bag of chips and a can of light soda from the fridge three times a day than go for a walk or work out and then keep working.

>>17307164
I buy mine at some motorcycle accessory warehouse. Same place I buy all my oils and aftermarket stuff.

>tries to wheelie by dropping the clutch
>how did I loop it
Because you're a mong. Drop clutches on anything bigger than a urop restricted 50cc and you too can land flat on your ass.

Started on a 600 Hornet and haven't flipped it with tork wheelies so far. 600's are the perfect starter bikes for anyone who's not retarded.

>>17307294
yeah the metabolism thing is real, did you read my post?
your metabolism slows right the fuck down if you have hundreds of kilograms of fat already stored in your body, it is already busy trying to process that shit.

Thats why skinny people have a "fast metabolism" in comparison, their body has no fat to burn so when it does get some energy from food it is all being used straight away.

Simply put all fat people have to do to stop being fat is stop eating so fucking much.
go on a proper diet, don't even change the type of food you eat just the amount, make it 1/5th what you normally would and watch the weight disappear.....

Yeah, I lind of liked the assymetric ones better though.

>>17307316
I read it without reading it.
But yep all correct.
I did eat somewhat less to lose the weight, but changed diet and exercised too cause I needed it gone fast. I think it was something along the lines of 100lbs in 8mo. I don't recommend it.

>>17307321
Yes they switched to the generic jap shit.
Although for the sticker price of the F800R you pay the bit extra for the S1000R

>>17307318
Can always check online on sites like revzilla in case it's cheaper there for whatever reason.

Dont go too overboard with the stuff either otherwise it'll flick all over the place and stick to everything. Was a messy learning curve that one.

I know how to apply it, my dad taught me that much.

>>17307330
I wish the F800R was a couple grand cheaper, I really don't know what it competes against.

Seems like it's just badge whoring.

I think that would look cool as fuck if they were both the design of the round one.
The asymmetrical ones always make the bike look like it's confused.

But that would make sense anon. We can't have logical design choices on motorcycles.

>>17307359
I want the XR so bad it hurts.

>>17307361
It's like the logical choice being the right choice is affecting every part of my life now.
Where I work, it it makes sense we can't do it.
We implemented something that made sense one time and it was like a gift from god. Very small thing tho, saved like 5min.

>>17307374

>>17307257

Pretty sure there are more naked/standard japbikes currently being produced with a plain round headlight than from any other manufacturers

>>17307368
It's a lovely bike m8. I'm not getting rid of mine any time soon.
Its a great sports tourer and I fucking love that quickshift

>>17307378
That are imported into the US and aren't gimped "heritage" models like the CB1100?

>>17307378
Isnt it only really honda that still does round headlights and its only on a few bikes?
ones i can think of are
cb400sf
cb1100
cb1300sf
ermmm idk what else.

>>17307383
Quick shift down also?
I feel like I was jewed as the new Rs are coming with it standard.
Wonder if I can get it added to my 2016

>>17307395
They make a scooter with a round light too, called the honda rebel

the move away from round lights on the good bikes is intended to scare away posers who can't ride and only want their bikes as fashion accessories

this will eventually drive insurance rates down for real motorcyclists

>>17307398
Yeah up and down. Its pretty sex having it blip even down to 1st without any trouble.
S1000XR also had corner braking which is now only be introduced to the single R as well I believe.
It had all the farkles at launch probably to appeal to the GS riders like myself.

>>17307406
Honestly the headlight aren't all that important to me, but if it actually does that I'm kinda for it. Not that I pay much for insurance anyway.

>>17307411
It's even cheaper than the single R here, apparently no one wants a touring bike.

>down payment on house or pay cash for new bikefu
what do?

>>17307395

Honda does it with the CBs, the new rebels as well
Suzuki has the sv650 and the tu250x, probably a few more
Yamaha has the xsr700/900, scr950, probably a few more as well
Kawasaki I don't know

>>17307391
Feel free to list models from other manufacturers that aren't based on the bonneville or duc scrambler.

Off the top of my head I can only really come up with moto guzzis and the r nine T

How fucking vague of a statement is that

>????

>>17307427
When 600cc bikes are discouraged in beginner guides its always 100hp+ supersports.
No one cares about your detuned plonker

>>17307419
House.
As much as a new bike is lovely, the house is better in the long run.
Also, you'll need to store the n+1 bikes.

>>17307418
Japan is your friend, they fight for freedom.

No squid trying to look cool would actually show up to a bar riding the new FZ1.

>>17307427
you know full well "don't start on a 600" means don't start on an R6/GSX-R 600/whatever, but here's your (You)

>>17307427
When people say don't start on a 600 they mean a 100+hp 600cc bike like an r6 or cbr600rr.

A bike like a cbr650f is a great learner bike though.

>>17307438
What about a hornet 600?

>>17307432
If you dont start on sports bike it means that youre weak, beta and poor like 99% of yurocucks

This is true.
Sadly most of the guys I see downtown ride the hipster cuckbikes and /fa/ leather jackets. One time saw a dude with the jacket an no shirt.
I ride with my high viz jacket and this sexy beast.
I need to take more pics, I have so few.

>>17307440
fine beginner bike, its not a supersport, supersports are simply very unforgiving when it comes to making mistakes.

Hornet is a very forgiving bike on the other hand though.

thats pretty gay anon, people in cars that don't see you aren't going to suddenly start using their mirrors because you have a bright yellow jacket on.

Bandits can be done up nice. I have a picture somewhere of one with a cafe style seat and a single sided swingarm from a 1098 that looks beautiful.

>>17307456
I think it's sexy, different strokes man.
And it keeps up just fine. It's no sportsbike but it's got plenty of power.

>>17307440

That's a sport standard/naked.

Fits into the same category as the bandit 600/fz6n/striple 675/etc. Slight upgrade over the sv650/fz07/z650/etc

They're all fine as beginner bikes. Just be smart with your throttle and take your time learning

>>17307471
It was a ninja 250 and the nearest road was straight for a mile or so with lanes large enough for two cars. I don't think he could catch me if he tried.

>>17307475
Its pigfat and fuggly. Sv650 2nd gen or duckuckty monster look way better

>>17307466
Semi law.
Required to wear something highvis at night. Didn't feel like trying to remember every night or carry a reflective thing with me, so I just made the jacket one.
I don't ride with the jacket in mind. Hell, I barely notice until I get off and walk around in it.

Well i used to draw dicks on peoples seats and some faggot girl told on me and got detention and had to clean the class room.

>>17307432
Then wouldn't it be smarter to say "don't start on a 100hp bike?

>>17307437
R6 has about 24hp and 3nm more, I wouldn't call that quite unforgiving yet.
>>17307438
RR has about 20hp and 0.6nm more, I wouldn't call that quite unforgiving yet.

Remember that horsepower doesn't mean squat but more top speed, you want looping on a bike, get torque.

>>17307554
Why do you think a 500cc 2-stroke is so much harder to ride than a superbike? Hint: it's not because they have more torque.

But seriously you're a fucking retard
