They said it had a linear powerband but there's definitely a lot of power between 5.5k to 7k
Other than that, yeah it's pretty linear.

this shit takes less than 10 minutes, tastes a million times better, can be modified for personal taste and lasts 2 people for 2 days.

So I walked into the bathroom with my jacket on for a quick post-ride leak, and by chance looked in the mirror. Holy shit my jacket is getting grungy. I hosed it down in the shower and gave it a good scrubbing with dish soap and a brush. That got all of the bug parts off, but there is still lots of messy discolored spots. Any suggestions on something more serious for cleaning a carbolex jacket, or just more dish-soap and more brushi-brushi comrade?

"Dogcatcher" vans will be a pain in the ass because you have to remove the entire rear seats and likely the passenger seat to fit a motorcycle, and it's incredibly cumbersome getting the thing in there and back out and strapping it down, also you may have to unmount the mirrors, the roof clearance isn't as tall as the exterior makes it look.

Pickups on the other hand are a pain in the ass at all other times, and they usually have a pretty high load floor making loading a discomfort.

If I needed bike transportation I'd make a trailer my top priority, provided I already have a car to tow it with. They're affordable and simple, and basically any car on the European market is rated to tow at least a couple hundred kilos.

Motorcycle trailers are way too easy. Rented one from U-Haul for $15 bucks a day, towing with my little Lexus RX300. Could have easily forgotten it was there.

Info I forgot to mention, it's been plagued with charging issues and having been sorted out I've been riding everyday as long as it's not pissing hard rain. So two years is really 6 months of riding if I were to guess.

Speaking of charging, has anyone else found charring on your stator-RR connector and splice the two together?

It only looks like that because kawasaki couldn't afford to make anything fancier.

All that "uh jap aesthetic 90s" comes from a lack of manufacturing technology to make more complex designs for cheap and a lack of money to do things like design, certify, and produce a headlight assembly that only goes on one model and year. So they're all flat and simple with parts bin lights.

Ducati, for example, was well off enough to move away from that cheap aesthetic earlier because they actually had money they were willing to spend on making their bikes look nice year before japan made something that didn't look straight out of exactly 1990...

Which eventually triggered japan into putting out garbage looking bikes just to tell the world hey, we can make non-square/round headlights and curvy fairings too! Rook, nippon is future!

Do /dbt/ I've been poking around alone because I finally have enough disposable income to get a bike as a hobby, and I kinda want something to wrench on rather than dumping $3-5k on a bike. I turned up a few things and something that caught my eye was a '89 Yamaha Fazer.

Never heard of the Fazer till then and it's an odd looking thing. Guy went with the usual "make offer" bullshit. So before I probe the guy for more details about what the bike needs, does any have experience with these?

Can't weigh in on the Fazer but the two GS's and the Magna are probably your best bets for entry-level fixer-uppers. I'd imagine there'd be a ton of used parts to be had for them, as well as a lot of support as far as forums and fanbases go. I'll tell you though that if you get one that doesn't run when you get it, all you're going to do is want to ride if it's the first one you've ever bought, fair warning.

Yeah having never heard of the Fazer felt like a red flag for parts availability and I know the GSs are all over the place.

this

Any time a car or bike manufacturer needs a "specialist" mechanic. It's usually because the vehicle is either poorly designed, poorly engineered, and poorly built.

Usually shitty cars/bikes are just discarded and lost to history, but if they were expensive when new people tend to spend retarded money trying to keep them running and paying "specialized" mechanics who know the idiosyncrasies of the particularly poor design and capitalize on the clinginess of these individuals to severely depreciated and worthless piles of shit.

see: VW, Mercedes, Jaguar, BMW "specialized" mechanics. and it's not just about european cars/bikes. Volvos don't need specialized mechanics because they are well designed/engineered/built.

lt;dr if a car/bike needs a "specialized mechanic, or there is a "specialized mechanic" market market for that car/bike. Objectively the car/bike is probably garbage and a waste of money.

It doesn't need a specialist mechanic, that's just the one I called because he's the most knowledgeable about the bike, charges a fair price, and who most people go to because he has a good reputation. The bike is actually really easy to work on, this specific issue is just over my head.

I ride modern motorcycles from a quality manufacturer. I also have AAA if shit goes sideways for some reason.

The most likely breakdowns are going to be flat tires, and that's not something I'll be able to fix with a screwdriver and a fucking helmet visor in a backpack. The list of things that are could go wrong and that would be fixable with a screwdriver are pretty much nonexistent.

I live in California. There are no real surprises with the weather. If it's cold I'll wear a zip up hoodie under my riding jacket. If it's hot I wont.

What else would I need to carry in a backpack? There is literally nothing that would serve me any substantial purpose to justify encumbering myself with a backpack unnecessarily.

I get it, you like carrying stupid shit around for no reason.

>Becaue that's how my riding position is.

That's quite possibly how you'll end up if you ever go down. And I bet your wont be glad then that you have that large awkward piece of plastic and a fucking screwdriver floating around in a backpack.

>Visor
retarded, as previously discussed. There is no reason to carry a visor separate from your helmet when you can have one appropriate for all situations on your helmet at all times.

>Screwdriver for visor

I have a truck for when it might rain.

>>It never gets colder as the day/night progresses
I wear a jacket whenever i ride, That's usually enough unless it's winter. In the winter I will layer up anyway.
It's called planning and foresight.

>I never get thirsty
I said I might bring a backpack for drinks if I'm going far. But really it's usually unnecessary even when riding far. There are literally convenience stores every half mile.

>>I want to carry my jacket and gloves around in my hands when i stop somewhere
I wear my jacket and I put my gloves in my helmet. Or if it's hot I'll sling my jacket over my shoulder.

Decent motorcycle jackets are too large/stiff to easily be stuffed in a backpack anyway unless you're riding around with a retard huge backpack. Or you just wear some shitty poorfag textile jacket.

Every time you are happy or have a happy thought you aimlessly post it on the internet for no reason?

Doesn't that put you on some sort of spectrum?

do you know what an oxymoron is?

Your retarded unsolicited "happy thoughts" outbursts about pointless feels tier bullshit are the definition of a "manic numale".

You are the very thing you are purporting not to be.

Weather for the next 7 days. Cloudy, rain, cold, and if I think I'll be fine with a zip up sweatshirt, where when I leave it's sunny out and 70° but when the sun goes down it's 45°.

>I will carry a spare shield because when the sun goes down, I want a clear shield. And it will be a fresh sheild for the ride home. No bugs to clean off. And no tint so I have full vision at night.

If I ran a smoke 100% if the time. Riding at night would be shitty.

If I ran a clear 100% if the time, I would have to wear sunglasses under my helmet, and that's uncomfortable for me

So I prefer to be comfortable, have a bag, have the option of riding at dark, and just have peace of mind that I have an extra layer to ride with.

Continue reading next time, sometimes I get it's hard to contain a sperg moment though. I just did with that vt, so I can empathize.

>>17417726
I did read.

I'm pointing out that your post is an oxymoron. Your posting is indicative that you are a manic numale while you simultaneously claim not to be.

Your sudden urges to post about your "happy thoughts" is manic behavior.
Those thoughts being about woman-tier feels is numale behavior.

You are projecting hard.

I didn't say you were autistic once. You are projecting again.

Seems like you are the one that is triggered. :^)

It's more obnoxious because he's a trip on an anonymous imageboard, but your reaction is genuinely strange.
The fuck is wrong with having feelings? One of them being pride in family?
And, breaking down a made-up word I don't understand, there's nothing "new" about a "male" experiencing nostalgia. It's frankly the oldest means of connection sons maintain with their fathers. Second only to the need to punch each other's faces.

put your trip back on kitkat

Looking at trading my current bike for a 2014 r1.
Took it for a test ride and it seemed comfortable enough considering it's a super sport.
Anyone had any experience with r1s in general? Wondering if there's anything in particular that I should be looking out for.

>>17417805
>The fuck is wrong with having feelings? One of them being pride in family?
Nothing, but incessantly blogposting on 4chan is indicative of some sort of mental deficiency or need for attention that he is not satisfying in his life. I'm simply pointing out hos sad and pathetic it is.

Then pointing out the irony in him attempting to call me a "manic numale" when he is exactly displaying behavior that can be attributed to someone who is both manic and a numale.

>>17417815
It's a Yamaha, it will run forever.

They take a little work to get the suspension sorted if you're going to be tracking it, but for a weekend warrior they are fine.

>>17417842
I've only ever owned Yamaha dirt bikes and google searching turned up nothing for problems with the '14 r1s. Guess it's a safe bet then.
Was a bit of a change going from a super naked to a super sport. So much less wind

You don't cite something that's common knowledge. The increased quality over the last two years is an abberation.

Or their new engines are finally up to par. We'll see in 5 years, how many mt-0whatevers are still on the road.

>>17417963
>You don't cite something that's common knowledge.
But it's not common knowledge. You are claiming something specific and providing no proof.

>The increased quality over the last two years is an abberation.
The 2015 R1 engine is the same architecture as the previous generation. In fact the Yamaha Genesis engine hasn't changed all that significantly since the early-mid 2000's. Most significant was the change to the crossplane crank in 2009. really it was only slight internals, bore:stroke dimensions, and materials changes for 2015.

If anything the 2015 R1 has a worse record for reliability than the previous generation because of the 2015 bikes having transmission lockup issues.

yamaha has consistently been at or near the highest rated reliability for the past 15+ years.

The type of riding I do has changed. I used to commute for work in heavy traffic on the highway so a naked made sense for comfort. But I've changed job to something a lot closer but has an alternate route through twisties on a hillside.
also found that when really opening up the s1000r the front end gets super light whereas on the r1 there's a lot more weight over the front and feels a lot more stable.
