i actually failed the first MSF course i went to because i pulled a muscle before getting there

still made it to the riding test

>>17465275
it isnt but it means I know the risk, probably better than you, and I still think it's worth lighting up some while grilling after a day out riding in the summer
of course, if y'all gonna be bitches about that, I wont bring any

Probably because weed culture is annoying as fuck

why are there so few automatic bikes?

why are cuckcagers happy about automation and the bike industry takes forever to get their shit together?

hot opinion

>>17465346
So far only Honda, kawasaki and Aprilia have tried it
Honda has their DCT and hondamatic (2spd)
Kawasaki had a dsg
Aprilia has their CVT
They all failed for offering no benefits and way too many drawbacks

I can actually expand on this if you're interested instead of just baiting

>>17465400
what are the drawbacks?

>>17465396
u mad bro

>>17465409

most people who drive cars do so for convenience and necessity, motorcycles however are for fun (along with most bike owners own cars) .

and yes there are exceptions, thats why scooters exist.

>>17465407
what are the drawbacks of you learning how to shift your own fucking gears?

lol @17465410 is so mad

>>17465412
nice drawback

always fun trying to discuss a simple topic on 4chan

>>17465418
nice deflection

But being in the wrong rev range at the wrong time can actually cause you to have the wrong amount of power in a turn.

Automatics are shit at knowing when to shift. If your bike decides to upshift while you're accelerating while in a turn, and you lose the ability to maintain downward force on your rear tire, you could crash easily.

"Muh power control" isnt a meme for bikes, or cars even. But for cars it isnt life threatening

Instead of shitposting, can I know if yesterday after I posted my email I've been added to the SEM group?

Because no one contacted me yet.

>>17465429
you call my post deflection
yet you posted >>17465412 this piece of shit
nice talking to you

btt
automatic does not mean that you can't shift anymore btw
shift down in/before a turn, it will only shift up again after you rev up again, not sooner, that's how automatic works
automatic is probably way better than you at shifting
the scenario you posted there will never happen

>>17465407
It can't see what's coming up ahead and shift accordingly

>>17465449
but you can
like I said, for special cases you can still shift yourself, you just do it with the press of a button instead of a lever and the clutch
and you don't have to worry about suffocating your bike when you have to make a hard stop

New to motorcycles.

I still don't quite understand how to effectively change gears.

When I change to a higher gear it always makes this "bump" breaking thing.

Do I have to slowly release the clutch while throttling? Or do I just stop throttling and change gear while releasing the clutch?

Fuck, someone help me.

>>17465443
Automatic transmissions are less reliable, more complicated/expensive and in a motorcycle they offer no tangible benefit IMO.

Motorcycle trannies are bretty good as they are and bikes will aways get moving anyway, so the benefits of a DCT aren't as great as they'd be on a car.

Not only that but in a bike of all things it pays to be attentive to what the machinery is doing/about to do.

So fuck that crap.

>>17465469
You should always be VERY SLOWLY releasing the clutch. On some bikes take a good 5 seconds to do it.

>>17465407
For starters
DCT is entirely computer dependant, if any of the speed sensors is faulty or reads anomalies it'll throw a transmission code and shut off
You can't change gearing, wheel size or even tyre aspect or the ECU will throw a fit

DSG is just a normal transmission actuated by solenoids, it won't shift any smoother than a careful rider, but it will gladly eat through clutches like bisquits

CVT is your standard scooter transmission
I love the simple ones because they're entirely mechanically actuated and can be tuned easily and for cheap
They are completely unable to take any torque and offer virtually no engine braking

Standard motorcycle transmissions are dog gear sequentials, you already have only 2 options: shift up and down

The lag automatics introduce and their inability of correctly judging a situation means they'll always be inferior from a performance and safety standpoint
This is why they are exclusively used in commuters

Look no further than what happened to Guy when his transmission unexpectedly disengaged mid-corner and you'll understand why

>>17465298
Come on now, lets all do meth like true bikers.

>>17465462
What's the difference between that and your foot? You don't need the clutch to shift once you're moving

Have a festive baiku

got my bike stolen exactly a week ago, but it's been found. someone called the police on it when it was standing on a parking lot for a while. apparently the culprits couldn't open the tank so it ran out of gas after they managed to reach the next city. instead of red-black it's matte-black so I'll see how that looks, I should have it back by tomorrow.

it's a '91 kat so i'm fucking hyped, i'd expected it to be in eastern europe or a river, left to rot somewhere so this is a positive twist.

>>17465476
This was an interesting read, thank you. I have had the possibilty to test two scooters this weekend and it was quite comf, but the throttle was squishy, starting to move was weird and either slow and smooth or unpredictable.

I don't think I would feel safe riding a fast motorcycle that I couldn't manually shift. If auto was an option, I might use it but if I couldn't go back to safely controlling the thing I'd be worried.

Because bike manuals are easier to operate and bike autos are actually somewhat confusing and possibly dangerous.

Cars traditionally have H pattern shifters with a neutral between every gear, and used to not even have synchros. This made shifting actually a huge fucking pain in the ass. Even synchronized H patterns are hard for some people to shift, and the gearing in most cars means you need more of a delay for smooth shifts, and the delay you need is all over the place for each gear. So, the automatic was born, and normies stopped grinding gears after every stoplight. Fast forward to today and modern car suspensions are so hard to upset (you can spin out and not flip over! trucks exlcuded) that shit like shifting in corners rarely matters, especially with lolfwd, and automatic is better for most people.

Now, motorcycles. The shifter is easy to operate. It's one click up or one click down. The ratcheting mechanism pretty much times the shfits for you and the only long delay is first to second, usually, and you don't go below second once moving. For some reason, a 13 year old girl can shift a dirtbike like a pro but a 23 year old man has troubles being smooth in a manual car. Also random down or upshifting in a corner could very well kill you on all but the most fancy motoGP-tech-laden bikes.

>>17465601
>>17465476
insightful post but wasn't what happened to guy a false neutral? I'm not a specialist on that but at most an intelligent auto could even prevent something like this

>>17465745
you don't get it
any unexpected change in a bike's response can kill you and ALL the current autos (including the VFR's and AT's very expensive ones)

>>17465721
pretty basic/10

>>17465745
Electric bikes will come faster than full auto ICE bikes. Really no need to waste the R&D on auto at this point

>>17465754
in fact, the thing holding both technologies back is the prohibitive weight
and every single industry is working on battery tech to get more govt grants

>>17465366
Agreed. Bikes are toys and it's more fun to shift. Everyone has different goals, but if you're going to get an automatic then why not just get a scooter?

>>17465697
The fucking trackers are shared anyway, the only way you can avoid getting possibly caught is using
>muh private trackers
but even that is not foolproof.

>>17465473

>>17465469
You can pull the clutch, pop it up a gear, then release the clutch in a very quick, smooth action and return to applying throttle. On the street it's not really a big deal for it to take a second or two at your own pace. Just do whatever you feel is comfortable. I only use the clutch to upshift like 5% of the time, if that.

you shift to have the bike sound a certain way. when you get it, you'll get it, but it's all about how the bike sounds. if it sounds right, it won't be lurching either. learn the song of your bike. it'll sound pretty cool.

shifting is a lot like playing a rhythm game so if you play weeaboo phone games like love live, idolmaster, and bang dream you should get it down pretty fast.

I got to ride a dct bike a few years ago, the way it would work is it would only down shift for you when engine RPM dropped to less than 2k like when your coming to a stop. It would also downshift if you pressed downshift button. As for upshifts it wouldn't do anything till you pressed the button telling it to up shift. It was a very intuitive system and gave the rider a lot of control over it.

That being said I couldn't really justify the extra cost of the system. From what I remember it was 3500 extra and the extra cost of maintenance. The only use I could see for a system like that is if someone had lost a leg and still wanted to ride a bike.

Good sunday, DBT.

I'm having a bit of trouble finding where I can buy reasonably priced parts for my Katana 600. I desperately need a rear brake rotor (looks like the previous owner put new pads on expecting it to smooth out...) Are there any good places or websited that can sell me used parts so I dont have to pay 150$ for 1 brake rotor?
Anyways here's my off road junker

>>17465985
Aaaand another is added to the filter

>>17465958
because its never far to a dealer garage

>>17465991
150? holy shit really? it should be like 40 at most

>>17465958
>Only ones riding BMWs live in Germany.
This actually has made me interested in motorcycle brand distribution in Germany, so I opened up our largest ad platform and looked up the German ads for each of the following brands:
Honda - 14.084
Yamaha - 13.476
BMW - 11.803
Suzuki - 10.865
Kawasaki - 8.477
Harley-Davidson - 6.913
KTM - 4.931
Ducati - 3.937
Triumph - 3.119
Aprilia - 2.125
Moto Guzzi - 1.194
Husqvarna - 854
MV Agusta - 548
Royal Enfield - 203

So this should theoretically reflect the popularity of bike brands in Germany pretty accurately.

t. someone living between Mulhouse and Stuttgart

>>17466007
Actually excuse the ignorance, I was looking at a set of front rotors for 150..... woops

>>17466022
Hard to argue with the beauty of the Alps, sadly it's also a pretty expensive area.

>>17466022
Also who the fuck still issues license plates with pop-in state and inspection tags in the year 2017? I thought those were phased out nationwide ages ago.

>>17465991
You can buy from the junkyards (which means Ebay, if you don't have one close) or China aftermarket (which also means Ebay if you don't want to wait forever). Like this http://www.ebay.com/itm/252526390083

Suzuki used the same rotor on almost all their street bikes for decades, Is your bike on this list? http://www.partzilla.com/parts/detail/suzuki/SP-69211-21E00.html
If so, then you can search Flea-bay for a used rotor for any of those bike. Maybe find a nice one for $20 shipped.

Even better, stop using your rear brake.

>>17466013
>So this should theoretically reflect the popularity of bike brands in Germany pretty accurately.

Or it reflects the desire of the manufacturers to increase sales. Or just the size of their ad budget.

Yeah, but there are better ways to do it than to hurry down highways for days on end. Their 48 state challenge has a limit of 10 days to complete, and even the most efficient 48 states routes take almost 7,000 miles. That's 700 miles per day over ten days. The 50cc coast to coast challenge sounds fun though, especially due to not having a time limit.

1000 miles in 24 hours isnt bad though. Ive done about 800 on a nekked bike with a tiny tank, and I wasnt even trying or anything, could have easily finished the 1000.

On a cruiser or advbike it would be a walk in the park.

>>17466367

>>17466399
Yeah, the entry level ones aren't bad, and there are some single day single state ones, but then you get idiotically long, idiotically timed ones like the 48 states or coast to coast. The 50cc coast to coast challenge does have a 50 hour limit after all for a 2400 mi trip, making it a continuous ride at 50 mph which in my eyes is impossible for 50cc.

>>17466449
I have. Regular nakeds look too much like squidsports with the fairings fallen off, and I would like to sit slightly more upright as well, but not as upright and sluggish as on a cruiser.

>>17466463
I don't think 50cc means engine size, it's just coast to coast in 50 hours

>>17465264
Im taking the MSF in a couple weeks.

Is a 250cc powerful enough for urban/rural backroads, if i plan on keeping the bike for 2-3 years at least? I don't need to be on the highway ever because my city is small enough to take main roads everywhere quickly... and nearby cities are accessible by some scenic back roads with 40-50 mph speed limits. I'm not afraid of speed (i drive like a bastard) but I reallly don't want to expose myself to more risk than is necessary and also want to spend under 2k on a bike (am cheap as shit).

This makes you an amazing driver. Americans quickly learn to drive safely with only 20% of their attention facing the road ahead. Whereas Europoors (muslims) must be 100% attentive at all times.

Why do bitches mire so hard when a tall well dressed white man squids up to a light on a motorcycle?

>>17466540
Ninja 250 would be perfect, and there's enough info out there that if something went wrong you could find a forum where someone's already dealt with the issue. Spare parts are plentiful.

If you're new to bikes and buying used don't get anything with "carb problems, needs a clean" because it's never just the carbs, and read up on how to check tyre manufacture dates to make sure it's not still running around on the OEM rubber it came with 10-15 years ago.

The "cheap as shit" bit is fine, but make sure you're budgeting some gear into your purchase. Even a 20 MPH smash has the potential to crush your ankle between the bike and a gutter, or send you sliding for long enough to regret wearing jeans.

>>17466540
Ninja 250 is a good 250, though I'd also put a word in for the Honda VTR 250. Not the cheapest, but they have good torque and are bullet proof, so you can be cheap with maintenance.
If you're willing to not bee too cheap, get a Ninja 300. They just have that little bit of extra oomph and EFI is handy.

If you are a bit taller like me (6'5"), you may want a bigger engine bike, like some kind of 500 or 650 that is learner friendly.
That's how I chose my CB400... which I just wrecked today.

How many years old does a bike generally have to be before its pretty much guaranteed to have issues? I love the look of 70's-80's jap bikes but it seems from my friends experiences and from common sense that they are always needing repairs. Should I avoid anything pre 2000ish?

No, they quickly learn to continue driving badly but labeling it as safe so they don't have to invest any more effort.

>>17466609
Yeah. Front forks are bent to the point where full lock left with the handlebars is straight with the wheel. I think it's burning radiator fluid, too. She still switched on and the dash fully works despite dangling from the cables.
I've always been ATTGAT though, so damage to me is just scrapes. The elbow and knee pads took 100% away from those joints and proper boots stopped my feet being shredded.

>>17466610
Generally, get as new and few k's as you can afford. Do keep in mind it's a general rule, though. Remember, your first bike is not your last. Just get a bike that's reliable the first time around.

My CB400 looked like an old UJM which is what you're after, but I'm not certain they sell them in America at all. I think they stopped porting them into Australia recently, which is a shame. They look nice and are tough machines. My slide at 70+km/h fucked the front, but the engine still turned on first go.

Fucking Honda and their CRF250L Rally. They should have given the Rally treatment to an updated XR400 and finally update the XR650L so it's more on par with the XR650R. And then give that a rally kit too.
The XR650L would be cool for a project bike but it's a 1989 design and I read the heads get cooked after 20k miles. I ride a DR350 but performance upgrades is a rabbit hole...I itch to ride a big single.

Cross leaning is actually okay for slow speed manoeuvres, you see a lot of moto gymkhana guys doing it.

You shouldn't drop it in corners but understand that it may feel a bit understeery compared to a dirtbike as they can change direction very quickly, and you're often turning using berms rather than flat corners.

You'll adjust soon enough, just learn your limits and take the time to make yourself a better rider. Nothing wrong with being a novice anon, just don't push it too hard too early.

Changing anything about the XR650L motor would require it to conform to modern emissions standards as well, which it would never do.

The 650 single bikes are never going to change, then they are going to disappear. Same can be said about the DRZ400. They only exist in their current form because they are grandfathered from an era of much less restrictive emissions.

Completely redesigning a single cylinder bike and motor from the ground up to meet extremely restrictive emissions standards is not lucritive enough, especially considering the mtors cannot be used across the maufacturers range like most parallel twins or inlive 4's are. There is no incentive to update these bikes.

They will continue to sell them as is until they no longer sell, then they will die and not be replaced by anything other than an 'adventurized' version of one of each companies parallel twin street bikes, and they will weigh 400lbs+ and be shit offroad.

It alright for me to cook with the grill.

But first it's wasted time and second I don't know about you but I don't wanna eat wurstels all the time.

The fuck is maccas?
Food costs because we use actual quality ingredients here in Italy.

There is also steak. Or you could bring a pot (or try to borrow one from someone at the campsite) and cook pasta.
Maccas is McDonald's.

>>17466855
No I'll blog here

>>17466857
>wasted time
Do you expect to ride for 16 hours a day?

>>17466842
That will keep you feeling filled for about an hour or two and then you just feel terrible for eating McDonald's.

Except Italian food is cheap as fuck.

Also Nordkappanon, what's your map marker?

There are people above the age of 15 or not fat that eat at mcdonalds?

I'll tell you right now that I categorically refuse to go eat at macdonalds.
Can you even cook steak with a camp grill? Is it hot enough?
>>17466872
You will need more than one camp grill to cook for all the people, otherwise it will take you 2 hours only to cook.

I'm no expert, you guys tell me. I think at that point it's just better to go buy good bread, speck and cheese and some veggies at a supermarket. Problem is that as I understand it SEM will be the weekend and supermarkets here are closed unless you are in big places.

Not at Sudtiroler Hofs.
It's not crazy expensive but not cheap either. If you order an entree and a first dish with a drink you're gonna spend at least €26-28.

one of my bikes is a street legal 400 2 stroke. it only meets a couple of those requirements but it's a fucking MONSTER
i can't ride it though because it's not registered and i have no time to go to the license place except yesterday but it was fucking canada day.. now i have to wait like 2 more weeks

>>17466919
That's what I call cheap as fuck.

That's the price of a steak plus drink

I can just remove the muffler if that makes it less of a high-risk motorcycle.

They have an official list of high risk motorcycles, I don't even know why they bother listing those characteristics.

>>17466932
You seem to forget that all our meat is not imported and it's literally taken 10 meters out of the Hof.
Not cheap at all. Especially when most people earn like €1000 per month. Or nothing like me.
If you order a Fillet here it will cost you at least €18-20, with no drink.
>>17466950
Trust me, I'm cheap as fuck too. As I said it's okay for me to buy shit at the supermarket.
I was just trying to make a point and explain things. You are NOT gonna find open supermarkets in Sudtirol in the weekend unless you're in Merano or Bolzano, or some random big supermarket.

>>17466978
>If you order a Fillet here it will cost you at least €18-20, with no drink.
That's normal to cheap.

Italians love to complain about being expensive, without actually being expensive.

>>17467102
>used to 5.80€ meals from the Asian takeout
>see people arguing that 20€ steaks are actually cheap
For 20€ I can get a steak in the best damn restaurant in the city.

>>17467125
I've had the "pleasure" to get two deep fried hamburger patties, with some fries and lettuce for the wonderful price of €16 (normal restaurant price for a hamburger including the bun) here.

>>17467102
Of fucking course if go to certain places even here you'll spend more.

Generally speaking if you eat food from the place you're in it'll be cheaper. If you're in some big city or countries with shit meat then it's gonna cost you more.

To be honest collecting country pins of everywhere you've been sounds much less stressful than chasing Iron Butt challenges. Souvenir shops also won't charge you $60 in administrative fees for a patch.

>>17467193
Yeah, we actually care about what we eat.

Riding and eating are also a perfect match.

I can tell from the arguing over what restaurant to eat at. If you actually cared you faggots would cook your own food.

That's what I'm hoping for. I am going in to do it, and I'll play dumb about what it looks like and I hope I can get away with just paying the 5 dollar registration charge. I'll lie about all the features if needed, but if they have a VIN database I'm fucked

There is a reason I don't come there any more.

2005 r6

Took my bike to get 30K mile serviced and for ruff idle, running on 2 pistons.

Service put new spark plugs in, fixed it. Picked the bike up and road home, super smooth engine, ran fine.

Get about 8 miles down the road and sitting at light. Ruff idle. starts missing. Ride around town or 15 minutes. Issue seems to be only at low idle 1 - 4 rpms and lower speeds. No missing when I am going 50mph on the highway.

Decide to ride back to service. Explain it all. They said it could be a bad spark plug even tho the plugs are new, they don't think its a coil issue but tell me it could be 1 of several things and they will take the bike back and let mew know something in a few days. They are at least going to put a new spark plug or 2 in it.


Any ideas from you guys? Gas is fresh.

>>17467312
I eat mine rare. I don't use mayo or katchup on anything. No idea what you're on about. Sorry you watch too much tv or whatever

>>17467317
Injectors clogged?

>>17467331
i dont think so. The spark plugs, two of them fouled out. If it was clogged injector wouldnt the plug still be good?
