Hey DBT, wtf did you do today?

Today I:
>Fixed the turn signal switch
upon opening it was packed with dried grease/crud
>Adjusted rear brake switch
>Went for a ride
I got it to 90mph. Yes, I am actually proud of that.
>Went for another ride
Figured out how to transport fried chicken and mashed potatoes home with an old floppy backpack.
>Fixed sticky throttle
PO had over adjusted the cables to the point that they were overpowering the return spring.

That feel when I've probably still leaned a scooter over further than a bike

What's weird is I had the confidence to chuck that thing into a kid's bike training course size figure 8 until the center stand dragged while sitting nearly upright because fuck if I could find anything to lean off from while on a motorcycle I'm shitting my pants doing far bigger circles at presumably much higher (ie theoretically more stable) speeds.

>>17318296
My 125 was lean-limited to the header on righters and fairing for lefts. I'd take a pic but it's too dark. Had to blast it with exhaust cement and heat wrap it with some stainless sheets hose clamped over it.

>>17318301
It's only like 5 degrees at static but my bike definitely has more clearance. Trick is the scooter usually would drag because of the soft suspension hitting bumps (I think the center stand would bounce downwards too), so even on smooth ground it might have been compressing quite a bit and had significantly less real world clearance.

But I don't know I think one of the things that makes them really easy to chuck over is that with a 2 stroke and CVT you have a nice combo of it coasting in really smoothly yet always have power to stand it up..

>Incorrect, they waste money and get mad at people who have more skills and get paid more
If you don't have money you can't waste it.
Having to prioritize what to spend your money on makes you realize that buying beginner bikes new is a waste of money. I don't get mad at anyone and it's your decision, I'm just pointing out it would be a bad decision.

>A brand new bike for a learner isn't that expensive.
It's more expensive than a used bike, and seeing as you're likely going to drop and/or crash it within 6 months there's absolutely no benefit gained from buying a new bike as your first.

>If your envious of someone being able to afford one you should start saving more money, upskill, get a better job.
I actually have a reserve of a couple thousand at any time, I have a higher education and a well-paying job. I am not envious. I could afford to buy a new bike as my first if I only got into motorcycling now. But would I do it? No, it'd be a waste. Get a shitbike (or at least a used bike) as your first, then upgrade. I didn't get to this point by wasting money, I got there by making the right calls when I had to decide between two expensive things to buy, and by not buying the newest, latest, most expensive stuff I could find.

>What is insurance?
Full coverage is about 6 times more expensive than basic (at least where I live). When I started I'd have had to pay around 1.2k per year for full coverage. If you buy a new bike, you pay like 6k, plus that premium. If you rek yourself after a year your bike's value will have dropped to like 4k even if you didn't ride it. You get 4k. You lose around 3k. If you drop it, the value drops even further. If you don't rek yourself and sell it for a bigger bike, you take the full depreciation hit meaning that again, you paid several k. With a used bike, you pay 3k up front, lose it if you crash, or get almost all of it back when you sell it. Which is more economical?

1/2

>>17316804
>Without people buying brand new there wouldn't even be motorcycle companies..
Talking about beginner bikes here, not about bikes in general. I can fully understand getting your third bike new if you plan to keep it forever and ever, that's totally fine.

>feel free to waste your money on energy drinks and alcohol
Nice assumption there, I don't consume energy drinks at all and only rarely drink alcohol in moderation; I don't go to bars, clubs or other places where alcohol is stupidly expensive either.

>>17318712
Hmm I was not aware.

It only propped up recently, and things that suddenly just appear are usually not good.

Other also told me they rode tons of miles without issues, and that it gets much worse before you actually need to do something about it.

But as I said, it's been recalled for an ECU switch and I'll say what the shop has to say about the issue. I'll be out of the country for 3 weeks anyways

>>17318717
bet it's nothing and the shop will charge you a fuckton for it and give you some bullshit excuse so you feel validated of your suspicion

>>17318717
How long since the oil has been changed?
Is it the right weight oil for the temperatures?
Just tell them you thought the engine has become more noisy and they'll probably check the valvetrain if they're worth anything but make sure it's under their warranty scheme.

>still no live video feed for IoMTT

Yeah I get it's a huge course unlike MotoGP but surely it's not hard to place a few live stream cameras around popular pieces of track and let users flip between them.

>>17318727
I'll only let them do it if it falls under warranty anyways.
Shops over here have reputation to protect since motorcyclists are fairly tightly knit.

>>17318733
Oil has been changed 4000km ago, and yeah I'll keep an ear out for that.

Been doing quite a few test rides lately. Being around 2 metres tall and riding a CB400 is a touch uncomfortable.
I'll get a wee-strom if I get desperate for a taller bike, but I've settled on either a MT-09 Tracer or Tiger Sport 1050. The Triumph felt a bit more stable, but I'm concerned about reliability with that brand.
Any thoughts?

2 months, but IIRC, it sat on a shelf for 2 years i think.

My last one was 4 years old, I replaced it because of recommended lifespand of helmet and i also hit the chin/side when i crashed last summer

>can't brake

Gee if your friend wanted you to move he might have pointed out the BRAKE LEVER, but he didn't. I hope he had insurance.

>>17319168
so, how much money are you gonna have to pay the guy? if you don't know how to use a clutch, you're a fucking retard for even thinking of trying that

>>17319180
your approach to it in general is bad
you do know even small bikes are easily capable of well over 100mph
why would you not familiarize yourself with the controls before you 'release clutch and give a bit of gas' or just pulled the clutch back
you need to respect the machine because you will be holding your life between your hands you know
if you really want to get a bike you have a long way to go before could be trusted with even a mt07 and i would definitely recommend you take lessons on a trainer bike

>>17319168
Yes, it happens sometimes especially if nobody warned or properly instructed you.

MT07 is a good choice for a first bike, have fun with it.

>>17319188
>>17319194
I paid for the damage because a) I couldn't have been on the bike (no, he didn't have insurance for other drivers), b) I'd had like 4 beers and c) he's one of my best friends.
350€ for clutch pedal and side mirror, plus the front cover has bump but he didn't want to fix it cause it would mess up the custom paint job.

>>17319206
I know it's not an excuse, but I am more accustomed to scooters where it's enough to let the throttle go to stop. That's what I did in panic btw. Mofo didn't stop, obviously

Does this look like a burnt relay? I'm trying to troubleshoot my bike problem, and I've kinda pinpointed to the relay. It would only make sense if it were burnt, but it doesn't seem to.

My problem is: my bike don't start. It's a Yamaha 15/16 XTZ125E, electric start. When I press the start, it makes electric sound exactly where the relay is, but it doesn't turn on. I can't push start either. The battery looks fine, the panel and turn signals work, it just doesn't start.

And yes, I could send to a mechanic, but I'm trying to figure it out myself.

>>17319225
people do stupid shit and what you did was stupid

take a fresh approach and just be careful. learn the fundamental controls and how to apply them. the motorcycle brakes, engine and steering are all far better performing than a scooter and takes more rider control so start easier than you expect to gradually increasing.
i mean grab heaps of brake on a cheap scooter and it might not even lock the wheels, grab a lot of brake on an mt07 etc and you will be eating pavement. same goes for the throttle. and turning a bike at high speed is a lot different to turning a scooter so practice this too.

dont give up but just be careful ok

>tfw fucking up 2 times on one ride

today wasnt my day

>>17319313
i didnt mean abs i mean you could brake hard enough to front-flip the bike on the freeways
im not saying abs doesnt work or its not good but you shouldnt be looking at patching gaps in your skill with computers. you should think of abs as more like a safety net
abs wouldnt have saved you before since you didnt even think of the brakes or even pulling the clutch
thats the sort of thing you will need to have hard wired into your brain if you want to save yourself from the dangers of riding because if you panic and dont brake or whatever in fast traffic you definitely wouldnt be the first to die from it
im not trying to be insulting or say you cant have fun on a bike but just take small steps and be careful and not take risks until you have some experience.

>>17319410
My bike is now set up for stiff as fuck boots, but use touring boots. Every time I hit the rear brake I'm basically just locking it.

>>17317390
About 2 years. Picked it up at the end of last season when I took my first MSF course.

>>17317837
The day is only starting here, but yesterday was fun. Finally did some time on the interstate with the 250. Getting more comfortable to downshifting and running it at higher revs to keep speed up on hills and such. If my knee hadn't gone fubar towards the end of the day it would have been grand. Which made for a reasonably good excuse to stop at a pub for Tylenol, Laphroaig and a bowl of jambalaya.

The panel lights are on, and I hear more than a click. I hear the distinct electric sound, the type of sound you hear when a electric current pass from one place to another, with a space in between.

>>17319412
well first time wasnt exactly a fuck up as much as a scare hitting a wet spot on a corner and noticing the front wheel slipping.

I never had this happen before and always kinda wondered what people meant when talking about "feeling grip" and all that shit when talking motoGP since my tires simply always provided 100% grip.

second time was a major fuckup hitting the white lines between double-lanes while going hard on a corner.

lost balance, got pushed outside, dunno if i could have saved it but i went into the oncoming lane which thankfully was empty.

Guess im at that point where im feeling to confident.

start with big curves that let you easily adjust and initiate the lean and move to sharp U turns and very low speed to really test your fear of falling over when you are comfortable with how far it will lean
just spend a day riding and you will be fine

>>17319376
>i didnt mean abs i mean you could brake hard enough to front-flip the bike on the freeways

ABS prevents front-flips, did you know? Reduces front brake effort when the rear lifts. Won't even let you do stoppies

You should come

>>17319551
I might. We'll see how work goes. The schedule tends to shift a bit lol

>>17319542
no i didnt consider that. i havent owned a bike with abs honestly. i do think its a good safety feature and is definitely worth having in traffic. though letting a wheel lift up or slide a bit is part of the fun of riding dont you think

>>17319565
I don't know where you work obviously, but I requested thursday Friday and Monday off, maybe you can do that. I should be able to get back Sunday night but I want to stay and ride more, there are other roads I've heard are good on my way home

In my city some police and sheriff stations let you sell vehicles and other large items in their parking lot. I sold 4 motorcycles like this before. I had one guy call me a cop and didnt want to meet up when he found out we were meeting up at the police station.

I'll always go Bandit style and not once has someone said something to me but sometimes, mostly in gas stations, people give me strange looks

>>17320404
why do you?

How does DBT transport a spare helmet if they're going to pick someone up?

>>17320404
why isnt she topless?

>>17320404
Because I am scared to go on dates with woman that clearly like me for the fact that Iam pretty sure I would fuck up the date and they arent attracted to me anymore.
So I would rather never go on a date and know that woman want me, instead of fucking it up

>>17320255
Heavier and not as safe.

>>17320464
ktf my man, however I've got a perfect excuse to ask out a girl where if she rejects me I never have to see her again. Probably still find a reason to puss out but oh well

>>17320341
I feel that I'm letting baiku down. Every time I ride her she ends up a very dirty girl, but I only take her down to the wash about once a week.

>>17318780
I would buy this in a heartbeat, but I can't figure out if it is real or not. The website has very nice commercial grade video work, etc, but you can't actually order anything.

>>17320404
Racers don't need girlfriends!

Also because my ex cheated, I'm not fond continuing that relationship.

Jesus fuck guys you can't be serious? How insecure are you?

>>17320562
you have no idea brother, no idea at all,

>>17320562
Idk man, The thing is if I just want to have some fun then there's no problem with talking to someone, man I get smooth as fuck but the second that I know the person already a little bit better and really do have fellings for her I tense up like a little bitch. Or I just talk to them till I know they like me aswell and then they get fucking boring to me and I break up all contact

>>17320572
Do you at least have a job? Why do you care about what women think, or even moreso, why do you care about what women think about you?

>>17320600
Sounds like you have deeper issues than insecurity.

>>17320255
more shit to break

i had one, lock broke and i returned it for a proper full helmet.

never regretted it.

>>17320614
>deeper issues
Any idea what they might be

Hi /dbt/.
I own pic related but black colour, 2012 Ninjette. Had an accident some years ago (2014), rode the motorcycle back to the garage and never touched it again and couldn't afford to fix it because I was broke AF.
Thanks to eating bread and water for months, now I have some cash saved to bring my motorcycle back on the road.
The broken bits and pieces are plastic and the handlebar is bent, I can get the parts and fix that.
Before "storing" the bike, I drained the tank and carbs, took out the battery and made sure it was charged from time to time.

Now, what should I do regarding maintenance and being careful with, when trying to make the bike run again?
Haven't drained the coolant and coolant flush, clean and replenishment is in the list of things to do.
Also, and I'm really pissed at this, the tank rusted inside. I know, I know... I'm a friggin' idiot.

TLDNR:
>Bike stored since 2014

>>17320614
I have two jobs, and I don't care what woman think about me. I care what everyone thinks about me, more accurately I care how they treat me and what they know about me. A gf is a dangerous window into other people having too much information about me. Just the leak of the information that I like someone is more than I care to be known.

>>17320653
Are you almost me?

So you tense up if you find someone high class, or someone you feel is above you, but if you get over the tenseness, you adjust, get bored and break off contact?

Sounds like you care more about the chase than the catch.

In case the part where you get bored is "a relationship", then I got news for you, yeah, it gets boring with time, to some people quite rapidly, but that's the adjusting period. Currently a runner up for my 8th year with my lovely girl, there have been a fuckload of boring parts along the way, but that's just what it is sometimes, I guess. Not everything and everytime can be like the teenage thrill of a crush, but the bond you build with time is something you will cherish more than any thrill imagineable.

Semper Fidelis doesn't mean fuck until you find sustainable love.

>>17320628
Change the oil, Three years isn't than long. As you drained the carbs, they should be fine.

But do change the oil and filter before you first start the bike. There is likely water condensation in there, at least.

>>17320404
I only leave the house to ride and I don't know any girl.

>>17320653
So don't get a GF. Simple as that.

>>17320675
but I'd like someone to share life with freely.

Either get a 2D waifu or learn to compromise. Nobody gives a fuck about you anyway, so why do you care about "leaked information". Get someone who will have respect for you enough to be confidential, it's not that hard, not all women are inherently whores.

how do you guys judge yourself in regards to skill?

Personally i tend to ride harder and faster than at least 90% of other guys i see on the road. If i happen to get behind someone i might follow for a while but tend to pass pretty soon after because he's to slow or doesnt overtake cars fast enough for me.

Every now and then i get behind really experienced guys though and usually cant keep up.

So i guess Im just a fast rider without enough skill?

>>17320723
Slow and dangerous

>>17320653
sorry sir, its autism

>>17320653
okay autismo

>>17320664
>you find someone high class, or someone you feel is above you

I usually never go for someone whos above my league. hell, not even in my league for the fact that I dont like getting rejected so I settle for people slightly below me in terms of looks.
I almost starved and trained me to death just so I could have better chances with woman

>Sounds like you care more about the chase than the catch

but yeah this really is the case, but its not that I lose the tenseness and then get bored, If I go for someone than I was never tense to begin with otherwise I wouldnt do it, its more like a game for me and then I simply get bored, a game I hate playing.

Writing this I realized, I'm a fucking faggot with autism

>>17320714
I appreciate you are trying to help but this is a borderline phobia from childhood experiences. I know no one cares, I know it doesn't matter if people know what I think about things. But I can't help it it's not just women but every part of my life.

>>17320732

xsr 900 is a triple i thought

How does breaking in work on modern bikes? Do I just do as the manual says?

>>17320773
yes

>>17320765
it is

>>17320779
Any truth to not keeping the same RPM for too long?

>>17320783
my manual didn't say that
no statement on that from my side

>>17320757
>Writing this I realized, I'm a fucking faggot with autism
Glad I could help.

>>17320758
Then speak to a shrink.

>>17320838
nah I've got you guys for that.

>>17320667
Thanks anon. I was planning on changing all the fluids including oil and filter.

What can be done about the rust-in-tank issue?
I live in the middle of nowhere and commer products available in the US, specific for this task, aren't in the shops here.

>>17320838
>speak to a shrink.

shrinks are confirmed idiots who couldnt hack it studying medicine and now make money getting murderous psychopaths reduced jailtime.


Id rather give scientology a try before talking to one of those assholes.

>>17320871
Fine, didn't know that, never had to go to one.

Self-indulge then or something, I don't know... Sometimes I just sit alone somewhere and go through the stuff on my mind to help out, since speaking to anyone is a sure way to get misinterpereted. Helped me out a lot of the time, but it takes some effort to not get stuck delving in the bad feels.

>>17320845
Try what I said above.

>>17317608
It does indeed

im just hoping the 50cc 2stroke scooterfags were the only ones dying.

After asking what time I can come by to purchase his tiger 800xc: "Hey Anon, it's tentatively sold. he is supposed to come by tomorrow afternoon to pick it up. I will let you know if he changes his mind"

>>17320404
Because I am not very sociable and the girl that I dated for 4 years broke up with me, leaving me somewhat jaded and cynical towards women in general. Quite some time since this happened but I'm still working through it. To add to that the small town I work in seems to only have women who are physically unattractive, socially unacceptable to date, or who have disqualifying emotional or mental issues. Also I've gotten fat and I need to exercise more.

Happened three times. I also saw a bunch of cucks getting shelter from the rain instead of keeping on riding.

>>17321255
riding in the rain is pretty nice desu
cucks will never understand

First bit of rain is when oil slick can be a hazard when it hasn't rained in a while

>>17321269
It was actually pretty fun. I thought I was gonna stay wet but I tried fairly quickly. Also it didn't kill my phone so that's nice.

>>17319269
The honk and lights works fine, that's why I don't think it's the battery.
