Why aren't there any dirtbike fags on here?

Why is it so hard to find a riding buddy around Denver?

>>17627127
I can't even tell wtf I'm looking at, but here's the best advice I got for you
>look up service manual for your bike
>figure out what you broke
>remove broken part
>use the chisel method to remove, or weld a nut to it
>replace the part

>>17627127
Not sure what it does, but the right way to fix that is cut off the old broken end odf the wirecompletelly, then solder/heatshrink on a new one to bolt on.

Dont try to reattach the busted connector you have on now, it will never work right.

Had I the money, I'd go riding with you.
I hear there's a lot of good off roading out here.
I just don't have a dirt bike.

>>17627178
The front range isn't the greatest, I have to haul my shit 2 hours for decent riding.

It's very much worth it though.

Went out on my first ride yesterday night. I borrowed my mums Marauder 250. Just spent an hour practicing proper signaling / turning / gearing up and down. Also spent some time around traffic, getting a feel for watching my mirrors and shoulder checking whenever I move between lanes / stop at an intersection.
Bike is low on power, but weighs very little. I had a blast and now I really want to get my own bike now.
tl;dr what they say is true, riding is addictive. And I want more.

>>17627187
Somewhat new to the area.
Out in COS.
I keep wanting to get a dirtbike, but I always seem to have more important things to spend money on.
Used to live up in washington and loved it up there. Take a weekend, camp out and ride.

I'm thinking about getting a motorcycle, but how do you start learning? It's not like everyone can pull a trailer with their bike to some training center.
I know, at least for my State, you need to pass the knowledge test and then you get a permit that allows you to ride alone during the day and you aren't allowed on the highway. But that first time riding... what are you supposed to do? I would love some nice empty parking lot but you would need to know someone who could drive your bike there it seems.
Also... how often do motorcycles get stolen? It seems like it would be a lot easier to jack one than a car.

At what rpms does v Tec kick in?

>>17627204
All the good riding is relatively close to COS. I pretty much have to drive through COS to get to any of the good spots.

Get a dirt bike.

Take a class. Couple hundred bucks and a weekend. It's mandatory in Mass, idk about your state, but do it anyway. They teach you how to ride a bike, they provide the bikes for the training exercises. I recommend it to friends even if they don't want to buy a motorcycle, just so they can ride one if they absolutely had to and it's FUN.

It's important to note though that the class only trains you to go like 15 mph in a parking lot. You still need to practice in parking lots and on back roads. Just don't push your limits.

Google around for classes. It's fun, you won't regret it.

I really want to.
I was going to grab my dads old cr500 and fix it, but two days before I got home last month, he gave it away.
Dirtbikes are much more expensive than they aught to be.
And I spose I'd have to buy proper gear. Which might end up being more expensive than the bike I get.

>>17627244
Proper gear? So, a helmet, gloves, and boots? You don't need to wear a gayass jersey and pants like I do (and nearly everyone else on the trails).

Another helmet, cause I'm more likely to crash on dirt and I don't wanna fuck up my street helmet, and boots. If I recall, boots can be a little pricey.
Did a check on craigslist, definitely gonna have to find something not running if I wanna dirtbike, almost nothing under $2k.

Will a new exhaust system make a massive difference on a drz that already is rejetted with a 3x3 mod? A full exhaust is ludicrously expensive for what seems like a tiny gain

Man, those are idiots being idiots. Try watching some MotoVloggers, like Do It With Dan, Jake the Garden Snake, ChaseOnTwoWheels, there's a bunch. Some ride like idiots sometimes, but most are pretty cool and talk about riding quite a bit. If you're smart about it and don't ride drunk, the risk is manageable.

Got my license and bike three years ago, it's a lot of fun. Pic related, it's the kind of bike I have. Good fun, would recommend.

>>17627291
There's plenty of decent bikes out there (I just searched Denver briefly) for under $2000. What are you looking for?

>>17627308
A lot of those are people being idiots, but some of those can't be helped... like what do you do if you're forced to ride over some gravel? It seems like anything can knock you down and that cars don't see you. I just wanted to take the backroads to work and save on gas and feel a little bit more free.

>>17627311
Honestly, I'd love something like a CR500, cause that's what I learned on.
I also used to have and xr600 years ago. Heard that the guy I sold it to is just letting it sit in his garage, kinda sad.
But I think anything dirtbike 250 and up I'd settle for.
But this wouldn't be for a few months, I'd have save up some.

Gravel can be scary, but there's a lot of things you can do to learn to ride safely. People ride on dirt and gravel all the time and stay upright.

There are two books I bought and read before I bought my bike, I think they gave me a good sense of what to do:

Yes, 100%. Good control is more important the slower you're going. Going fast straight is the easiest thing to do on a motorcycle

If you wear proper gear ALWAYS and ride smart, it's a lot of fun. I love it because all I do when I ride is focusing on riding. No music, just you and the wind and the engine. It's beautiful and fun and is like nothing else.

>>17627414

My bad, you're right. Mandatory for minors, I think it's a good idea for adults and it does include the RMV test with the class. Unless you've been riding dirt bikes or something.

It isn't terribly cheap but $300 isn't bad compared to what you're gonna be spending on gear and a bike if you're a brand new rider.

>do they mean push down wards
No. 2 wheeled vehicles turn by leaning, mechanically 2 wheeled vehicles lean by pointing the front wheel to the outside to shift the center of gravity relative to the contact patch so they start falling over then follow the curve by turning the front wheel to the inside. Turn further and you lever the bike back up.

Think about how when you're going really slow (or even stopped) and the bike gets wobbly you turn the handlebars to hold it up, it's the same dynamics at play.

>>17627601

Relatively new to biking here myself. Just got my permit and gonna get my baiku tomorrow hopefully.
Going slow is easy and turning is easy while going slow. What you should be concerned about is dropping it.
It'll happen even to the most experienced riders, when it happens to you, don't panic or anything.

Also, you won't go slow forever. Trust me I thought the same thing and then I twisted that throttle just a bit and man.

I don't know what a louisiana person is referred to as. Louisianians? That sounds silly.

Regardless, no I did not hear about that.

I just looked into it, and even saw the video. It looks like they were pretty upset about that sign. But I guess when you're a small town in Louisiana, a welcome sign is all you've got.

Wish you the best of luck in jail, man.

>>17627735

I dropped mine the first time I rode it, but it was when I was stopped. I did not anticipate how heavy the bike is full, and I stopped on an angle on a hill and the bike just slowly started tipping on me. I laid it down gently then picked it back up, nbd.

Don't be like me friends, stop where you've got good footing and an angle where the bike wants to stay upright.

False neutrals happen pretty frequently. Not a big deal just shift again. Happens mostly when you're downshifting from 2 to 1 since N is a half shift in between 2 and 1, and if you don't give it enough pressure you can end up in neutral.

Ok. That makes sense but I don't remember ever doing that on a bicycle. I suppose I never got going fast enough or maybe I never thought about/noticed it.

If you stomped on it should really go to first, pressing it down a little should put it in neutral

Some people are retarded. It is instinctual, but understanding how it works is still important. Especially when you get into trouble and need to correct.

>tfw you get tagged doing 90 in a 55, but the cop runs back while checking your license and just throws it at you "it's your lucky day, I've got to go, slow down" before hauling ass away

Not sure if I feel good that my record is still pristine, or slightly shitty that it only happened because something ugly enough to make a cop jump the center median of a highway at high speed is all that saved me.

>>17628026
yet so many still don't know why it works

>>17628037
I have all except maybe time...

I currently work abroad, but I want to buy the bike as I cannot stop dreaming about it... Just owning it, knowing its back home in my garage, sitting there, waiting... That piece of marvelous technology from back when the japanese truly made some epic motorcycles.

Also those few times a year I go home and can enjoy the sound :

>>17628093
I'm just looking out for ya, If you can realistically get it done, then go for it. It would suck to miss out on the chance to own something you've dreamed of owning, but If you doubt your ability to put it back together you would be better off saving the money and frustration.

>>17628051
>you get tagged doing 90 in a 55
bro

Not to be that guy but doing 90 in a 55 zone is fucking irresponsible. You are not half as good a rider as you think you are.

Consider yourself lucky, and take this as a warning anon.

>>17628152
not him, but tbf the highest speed limit in my area is 55mph, and the highest speed in my state is 65mph, so it doesn't really say anything to the safety of the roads, more to the state wanting to tax anyone they feel like.

>>17628152
meh. I understand the sentiment, but this road is 55 for no good damn reason. Runs along the river, super straight, no intersections or junctions, it just gets classified as a 55 mph because they don't want to pay for concrete center divider (or a median of the required width).

Temp sensor, broken many, as it's a under heavy vibration, and Fixed as many. Shouldn't have an impact on your tachometer as it's no associated or on the same circuit. But definite reason you have no temp gauge operation. Some have detachable connectors, some are rivited or screwed and some are one solid unit. Easy to replace or fix

>>17628349

don't go too fast on corners. not for another 2-3 years of riding.

I barely got my permit yesterday!

Don't worry, I won't corner super fast, kinda afraid to.

>>17628368
>ATGATT

Yeah, I don't have knee/elbow pads yet but I do have a jacket and some thick jeans and a pair of gloves. Of course a helmet.
I know its not much but I won't be going super fast or in super populated places.

>>17628372
Go to a set of back roads or a car park or whatever and practice all the shit you learned in your permit course.
- Starting and stopping
- Emergency braking
- Slow (walking speed) rides
- Find out what it takes to stall the bike from a standing stop so you know how much throttle you need to give it, etc.
And yeah you do you, but I'm a huge advocate for ATGATT. "Thick" jeans are still going to disintegrate in a matter of meters at low speed, and even a 5mph fall has the chance to trap your foot between the road and your bike. I'm happy that in two years of riding I haven't stacked it or dropped it, but the closest I've come was nearly dropping it in a driveway, and putting a foot down at a stop sign on something super slippery. Just remember that low speed stuff has the potential to put the bike down as much as anything else.

Congrats on bike btw! What are you getting?

>>17628404
Of course I will, I was thinking about taking the CHP Safety Course as well.
I'll get proper riding jeans, maybe chaps.

How many of you guys started ATGATT but have strayed and to what extent?

I started off with everything (helmet, gloves, armored jacket, armored overpants, riding boots) but have ended up getting lazy. I still have my helmet, gloves, and jacket but have stopped with the over pants (just using plain old jeans) and have been wearing a pair of roper boots instead of riding boots.

I would consider the triumph to be a retro style standard. I do agree with you about it not being a cafe racer though.

I wish Honda (or someone else) would make a small cc high spec bike.

Something like 400cc with 65-70hp, good suspension and quality components. Something small and nimble with revs coming out the ass maybe.

I'm on the edge of doing something like that but I only have time on the weekend.
500mi in a day sounds pretty intense; I don't even like going that far in a car. You're pretty hardcore in a good way.
Looking into the 250 some more and I'm starting to worry it might be too small for me (6'5"); I guess I'll need to sit on one to know for sure.

Was tracking down the cause of my headlights not firing yesterday morning. Previous owner installed HID headlights. Found the culprit. The fuse that's between the small gauge positive cable connected to the battery and the larger gauge wire that goes to the relay was melted.

Replaced the fuse and it works perfect. I had to jump my bike using a jumper box the other day when Ieft the key in/headlight on. Problems started after that. Could that have melted the fuse?

Glad I had an excuse to take it apart the previous owner had the wires routed in really stupid fashion.

Upright riding position is bae.

My bike next to my mates KTM.

What do I wear when it's hot as fuck outside? So far I've worn a handmedown leather jacket but it's like 100 degrees outside today and very humid.

>>17629833
Go faster

Does stopping and going in second gear hurt my ninja 250?
The first gear red lines at like 20mph so I only use it when I stop, everywhere else I'm going at least 30mph.

>>17627308
M13 is the patrician motovlogger you whore.

>>17629833
Mesh, or a perforated leather jacket. Once you get to a certain temperature though, it's just hot and you can't change that.

>>17629846
20mph? jesus christ

>>17629833
Get a perforated leather jacket

>>17629766
Depends on a lot of things, if it's an old ass 2 stroke and a new 4 stroke than maybe not, but like a cr80 (2) will smoke the fuck out of a crf150 (4)

Should I be wearing ear plugs at all on a ninja 250?
My helmet already makes it pretty difficult to hear anything besides engines.

>>17629926
Go faster you'll hear wind

>>17629926
I always wear earplugs, not because of the engine noise, but because helmets are loud, like 90 decibels or more on the highway.

ive decided that road racing is too dangerous for me and i seriously just want to take it to the track. ive sold my current bikes (scmr 690 and z750) and im gonna buy a low mileage zx10r/ s1000rr / rsv4 for the track.

my question is, is there a list or something i can see of all the stuff i should get for a well performing "amateur" track bike?

so far im going to purchase:
-full exhaust kit
-plastic fairings
-mappings etc
-obviously slick tires
-MAYBE suspension, im still looking at if i get an hp4 or rsv4 rr with öhlins in them already
-radiator covers
-brake lever guards
-(rearsets i will keep stock, levers maybe too depending on feel)
-race windshield

also where can i get fancy graphics made for my plastic fairings? im really digging the wsbk look with the headlight stickers.

>>17629955
Start with a cheap bike you can afford to crash.
Build some experience and get to know people who actually race.

>>17629955

Turbo, nitrous, extended swingarm, 360 width rear tire, lowering kit..

Unless you mean one of those pussy tracks with corners.

>>17629964
ive raced my z750 on two tracks and rode a friends panigale and s1000rr on track before, which is where i decided to take it up. experience isnt my problem here

4. Attach left passenger footpeg to bracket
5. Replace original screws [the ones that aren't screwed in yet] with No 6 and No 7, add spacer No 5 to top screw
6. On the right side, remove front screw on the lower frame strut and footpeg screw
7. Slide left side of center stand onto guiding peg from the inside and slide right mounting plate onto guiding peg from the right [I am not sure if guiding peg is the correct word]
8. Attach right mounting plate to footpeg bracket using screws No 8 and No 9.
- use loctite -
9. Attach to lower frame strut using No's 4, 8 and 10.

Yes. Wind noise is the real killer.
Rushing air causes high decibel output in frequencies outside of human hearing range. It's why your ears hurt when you fuck around with compressors too.
