so my riders

I am going on a trip to Denmark, approx. 1100km

I am going on my ER-5, it never failed me. Recently I had to chance the sealing on water pump and that was all I had to do as of late on the bike. I think it can hold it all the way and then back. It was always taken care of a lot

What I am asking about, is what to bring. I am thinking of emergency tire repair, oil and cleaner for the chain, and I am getting an insurance if something really bad fucked up and it wouldn't go anymore.

What else should I bring/take care about?
>oil was changed 2k km before
>chain cleaned and lubed right now
>tires are on 80% at least
>everything is stock

It's the rumoured new cb1000r, they've got to be wanting a piece of the hypernaked market.
If they release a bike with styling remotely similar to the pic that makes over 145hp, they can take as much money from me as they want because that bike would honestly be my ideal motorcycle

>Brembo brakes
>2010
Well, you already know he's a liar
Check the frame for damage since rebuilt title

Got mine for around the same and less kms, but it was lowered

The front light has been replaced because he crashed, they're the same across models, but the shroud changes

Check the front forks for damage, if you find any you should replace the front end with a RSV's

Turn it on, cold
It will hiccup unless he has a fatduc, it's normal and you can fix it for 20$
Don't rev it cold, wait for at least 1 bar on the dash

While cold check underneath the filter for oil, it leaks from there if you don't screw the filter tight

While running put it in 1st, hold the clutch in and tap the starter buttons a couple of times
If the letter next to the speedo gets higlighted or changes he's legit

Try to get me a picture of the switchgear and the battery area, you can pinpoint the model that way

Pre 2010 they suck and if you wanted a good model back then you needed to get the MY2010 or factory works, both would come with the bellypan (he doesn't have one)

If the ABS light comes on or you can spot ABS rings in the brake rotors walk away

>>17631728
And you fucked up on your payments and have bad credit.

>My argument is shit
>Hurdur you're the idiot

>>17631735
It looks like it has brembo brakes in the photos. Maybe they came with the forks when he replaced them?

If it's rebuilt the bike has to get checked over by a mechanic before it can go from salvage>rebuilt, the frame should be good but I always check it anyways.

Thanks for the tips, why does pre 2010 suck?

>>17631770
Hes not wrong.
A sub 650 score is absolute garbage and its your fault that you havent brought it up.
Likely because you have a shit job and a shit car and nobike and have no skill to move forward in life.

Sorry, we could not calculate driving directions from "Frankfurt" to "Beijing, China"
what the fuck is wrong with fucking google maps
I can even see the fucking streets on the map, why can't it calculate directions?

Found my 2005 Katana's idle problem was cause I have to run it with the petcock set to PRIME and it won't run when set to ON. So does anyone know the vacuum hose routing from carb 4 to the petcock? The found out that the hose the PO had is about two inches and plugged off with a bolt so I need to run a new one all the way back to the petcock for it to work like it's supposed to. I can't seem to find the routing myself.

>>17631802
Why would you drive from Frankfurt to Beijing (and miss out on the opportunity of riding the Transsib)?

>>17631778
The shiver has brakes "designed by Brembo" aka Aprilia knockoff, it doesn't come with Brembo masters, just rebranded slaves and braided lines

Pre 2010 has THE shittiest fueling, if at any point the throttle feels wierd you should be able to ask a dealership to update the map for free during a service
They also didn't come with proper butrons so you had to lift the seat to change throttle map

Btw
ECU passcode is 12398
You can access the dashboard diagnostics that way (and change from iperial to metric, if you feel like it)

>>17631819
The Transsib doesn't stop when I want to make a photo of the nice view
and the risk of getting robbed, shot and gangraped is much lower

Decided to ride even tho I know I'm low on gas and other various reasons I shouldn't.
Ended up dying on the road, something wrong with my petcock or hose, I could see it wasn't filling the fuel filter.
Turned back and somehow made it home.
Pretty sure my bike hates me.

Studded tires is OK at least here in Norway, you just have to pay tolls for them. I don't know about Sweden, but I think it's the same deal.

Not really a car or bike guy but Ive today I just watched like 50 motovlogs and got me wanting one

Thinking of getting one of those cheap grom or z125s since Ive never ridden a bike before and because I live in a rural area and top road speeds are anywhere from 40-80 which those bikes top out at

Get something bigger and used or you're gonna regret the purchase

Is breaking in the engine hard a meme from some armchair engine experts? Or are the break in procedures from the owners manual just a goiym plan from the big man?

Cb500x. It does light off-road, leftover models go for as much as a grom.
Can be upgraded for harder, single track too. If you live in Deliverance rural, not Signs rural.

>>17632087
It's mostly lawyer asspadding
It serves nearly no purpose since most bikes come pre-broken in from factory

If your bike was anywhere North of 7k new they had it broken in and dynoed before it even left the production line

Most if not all toll roads in Norway are free for motorcycles, but if you want to go motorbiking in the winter in Norway I suggest you get some really fucking studded tires, like, with 12 inch spikes or something. Good luck with that.

>>17632115
I'm not planning on doing any of that.
Earliest I'm going to the North on my bike is May

>>17632127
OK then, why bring studded tires? Also, in May you may still see snow up in Finnmark some places depending on the weather.

Fuck off, knobgoblin. It's a cheap, tough, controllable, efficient machine with plentiful replacement parts and an aftermarket that breathes new life into the machine when you're done using it as a "beginner bike." Anything else is anticipating a riding style you don't know will be your favorite.

My SC bros rode on permits without any problem. An accompanying rider cannot do anything for you, unlike someone riding shotgun.

I've lived and ridden in SC since 1985, but my didn't get my license here. I've never heard of anyone getting cited for unaccompanied biking.

Get permit and if possible take MSF course. If not possible buy Proficient Motorcycling and study it since riding is not really intuitive.

SC test DMV test ares are designed for midgets on scooters. Practice slow speed control in a parking lot environment if new to riding by using your rear brake to control rear wheel speed while slipping the clutch and revving engine moderately. MSF teaches that too.

Vacuum fuel valves exist to piss me off. You can often replace them with a purely manual fuel valve. Whatever you have, learn how it works.

Typical vacuum fuel valve:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0l-xLZuY24

Check model specific forums for a manual fuel valve swap. Valves are cheap. You have to remember to shut off your fuel valve when parked, but millions of bikers before manual fuel valves managed...most of the time.

>>17633281
I made the decision early on in my riding career to wave to everyone. It's easier than filtering out the pretentious Harleys from the (very rare) friendly hogs. Scooters, trikes, whatever. You're outside and riding in free air, I've got nothing but love for ya.

>>17633221

>>17633340
Do they put fuel through at all times, engine running or not?

Only pri (prime) should flow with engine off. Prime is also fine for running the motorcycle too and is the same a "on" on a manual fuel valve. The vacuum modes are res (reserve) and on. They should not flow fuel without the engine running. If they do flow fuel with the engine off then it's a typical failure and valve needs to be fixed or replaced which is simple to do. A valve with a bunch of crud, corrosion etc in it may not flow enough to sustain highway operation. Tanks get some nasty shit in the bottom.

Most fuel valves come off with two 10mm bolts. Inspect your vacuum and fuel hoses ensuring they aren't dry rotted, kinked or damaged.

They are easy to do. I usually remove the fuel tank to drain it before removing the fuel valve.

If you don't have a service manual, you can often find them online. The Carl Salter site is good as are forums, and having a .pdf on your phone can come in handy.

So you are a retarded brand shill, makes sense. Unless you are a professional racer the differences between brands is pretty much not noticable, except for ktm. It's pretty much pick your favourite colour

>>17633596
But that 530, the worst KTM made in the last 20 years.

There is a reason they were modding 530 frames to take 525rfs motors when the 530 came out.

I don't know where my posts went...
>mods be butthurt
You're ignorant to think there isn't a difference between brands and certain bikes.
How am i shilling when i have 3 different brands of bikes and another totally different brand of 4 wheeler?

>>17633621
They are idiots that have never ridden a single dirt bike never mind some from each brand, just don't listen to them.

>>17633630
4 replacements. So 5 includig stock. Its about due again. Right over 10k on a set of rings
>>17633636
Yup. Thats /dbt/

>>17633630
Not him but yeah they do about that, my 450exc-r did 15,000km on the original piston and rings, piston could have gone back in the engine but i had the bore replated so a new piston went in as well.

not 100%
625 has one little one, the 690 has 2 big ones.
you dont want to try the 625 without it.

>>17633656
STAY BTFO HAHAHAHA BTFO KYS HAHA LOL YOURE HAVING A MELTDOWN

>>17633647
They are loud/noisy. You should check the roller on the end of the rocker arm every time you check valves.

They still have that problem with the 690s

If you have had it for a while you know what it sounds like, just listen for a big change.
