This is rad, where do I get one?

Got a question: my bike is a 400cc i2. I have a little turbo off of a 1.5l i4 diesel. On my bike each cylinder has a 1.5" exhaust pipe. The turbo has a 40mm inlet and outlet for the turbine. Would this sizing be too restrictive for my bike or no? I know it's entirely the wrong turbo for the job but I'm just curious.

K1600GT. By all accounts, a really nice handling, surprisingly sporty ride with the usual BMW spectacularity in on-board comfort.

For a more cruiser type deal, a Guzzi MGX-21. Looks amazing, and one of the most agile big-bore cruisers ever made.

To go everywhere, a DR650. Bulletproof.

If you just want to have fun, any will do. The CBRs are probably the most common with the largest support.

They will all be woefully outdated and not at all competitive to a modern sportbike like an RSV4 or S1000RR

CBR600F4 or CBR900RR are probably the best of them. They're obviously not as good as modern bikes, but they're still good sportbikes. A good rider on a 90s sportbike will blow away most riders on modern bikes.

Do y'all think auto transmissions are the future of motorcycles?
Will there be a day when manual transmissions are seen as outdated and novelty only used by old fags and diehards?

>>17646337
No, electric will replace it before that ever would

>>17646337
I imagine computers and auto stabilizing systems could come to motorcycles, but really a standard transmission is way way more simple.

No

My bike has very very high idle, in 3k range. It's less pronounced when cold, but it still keeps rev for a long time if I open throttle even a little bit. Climbs and sticks there for 3-5 seconds. And after it's hot just stays there forever.

Idle adjustment screw almost all the way out, mixture screw still plugged.
What do I do to make it fucking calm down?

>>17646337
Automatic transmissions as they are in most cars would be outright dangerous because of the throttle response delay and motorcycle's dependence on power delivery for basic stability.

Putting electronic transmissions in most bikes is just not financially viable, especially because learning how to shift is such a minor thing to get over compared to the general danger and challenge of full blown motorcycling.

If you want a lazy to ride 2 wheeler you may as well get a scooter.

do you think there will ever be an electric bike with fake "manual" gearing? I think a good amount of people would be intrested in an electric bike with a "clutch" that behaved like an actual bike... IE if you fuck up a shift the bike would actually react and lug the "engine" or whatever

im drunk and just shitposting

Is this a fair price for this bike? KBB says its only worth 900 but he did do a lot of recent work on it. I'm desperate to buy a bike since my cars gasket cracked and I dont have any way to get around now. Think it's possible to bring him down to at least 1000 or would that just insult him?

$1300 /yr if not financed. Blame my ex for not listening to me about getting a used bike and instead financing a new bike.

Have you guys ever used flares before? Anything safety precautions off the top of your heads besides brushfire hazards, spilled gas/oil, upright dripping, putting them significantly back up the road/around corner?

>>17646913
b-but muh lightweight stunting capabilities

>>17646923
Sounds terrible.
Us a xr100 or kx100

>>17646918

You sound like a conscious enough individual to handle a road flare. Just put it on the road. That's all you have to remember.

>>17646918
They're pretty outdated. Years ago a police officer put one behind me when I broke down in an unsafe area of the freeway while I waited for a tow.

They just use lights now.

>>17646759
Im pretty sure zero or Victory had an electric bike with the motor mated to a standard gearbox.

>>17646951
That makes very little sense.

>>17646941
Lights need retrieval and batteries. They also have reflective triangles but those are shit especially during the daytime.

Plus I could use the flares as fireworks for fun and lighting them makes you feel like a hollywood marine.

>>17645114
Motorcycles are normal here (the dinky 125cc ones) so when they see you on something that doesn't look like a povertycycle they usually think you got dosh.

>>17646968
Nah you can get an LED light that lasts longer, brighter, smaller, and cheaper than a flare.

You do feel cool lighting it though I'll give you that.

>>17646983
seems cool, i would like to see that in a supersport though... the zero electric bikes seems like a lot of fun but no gears would kind of ruin that for me... not to mention how jumpy the throttle might feel in a corner vs a geared electric bike

>>17646983
Having a full transmission basically defeats one of the greatest advantages of an electric motor.

SV650's are poorfag bikes. They're a massive meme next to GS500s and Groms.

I have a local friend I met on /dbt/ who bought a 1999 SV650 and he's had at least 15 things break down on it over three months and had to walk it home at night at least 3 times in that period as well. He's replacing it.

From a ducati? You're literally going from a Ferrari to a Civic.

Safety hazard aside. I've found using in-ear earbuds as quasi-earplugs helped lower hearing damage significantly. It's also solved my problem of needing to constantly pull over to check GPS. Getting Waze notifications is a huge bonus too.

The two slits between the red stripes are one set of headlights and the round things underneath are another. High/low I dont know which is which though. Everything nowadays is moving to the tiny squinted or single LED headlight styling.

>>17647226
I think Kawasaki makes the best jap sport headlights. Yamahas are weird/alternative, Hondas are too friendly/cute, Suzuki is ugly/stupid. Europeans are the best imo.

>>17647246
They just show up man. I live in NYC. Obviously they don't come to the twisty rides but when it's night city cruising they're welcome. They always fall behind and get stuck in rush hour traffic though and they try to share lanes with bikes. They're annoying and risky to pass too. But they are reassuring for new riders to stay behind. They always blast music and act as mobile DJ's though. The passenger is more often than not high as fuck too.

>>17647230
Recently I've been starting all my rides with Animals As Leader's Arithmophobia https://youtu.be/lfKrjZWG09c - it's the track playing while I put my last glove on, snug up my phone and start rolling. Then after a few lights, my playlist for the day starts - Gesaffelstein's Conspiracies Pt 2 and Aleph albums show up often. Played some 3OH!3 today. Uplifting or balearic trance for less intense riding, maybe at night. Luigi Lusini, Solarstone, Oceanlab are some favorites there. Others include Orbital, The Prodigy, Purity Ring, and of course Death Grips.

How do I pivot my bike on the kickstand?
I saw my friend do it a couple times but I'm not sure how to do it without fucking my shit up.

>>17646241
Depends on the gen. K1 750 had USD fork, 600 didnt for example.

>>17647731
You mean like getting the rear up? Just stand on the side of the stand, grab on the handlebars with your left hand and something close to the exhaust on the other side (like the rear peg) with your right and pull it towards you.

>>17647731
Lift it more up rather than over

>>17647745
I mean using the kickstand to turn the bike to face a different direction when it is inert.

>>17647746
Lift it up more up rather than over, could you explain that?
I'm a bit of a brainlet

You just do it. Put the kickstand out. Pull the bike up on it slightly and pivot it in the direction of the lock on the kickstand, not against the lock (clockwise) or you'll risk having it fold on you I guess. It's pretty easy, easier than you'd think.

Or you can get on, straddle it, do a burnout and pivot it that way. I'm not even memeing. When you have good control over it you can do it without fucking your tires and just flick your rear around. It looks cool.

Put stand down
Pull on handle and subframe to counteract the weight of the bike
Pivot

Truthfully, I've never liked doing this as it only takes a second or two to move the bike normally, just make sure your stand bolt is tight but not too tight and that the tab isn't rusted/cracked.

>>17647753
If you try just pulling the bike towards you it won't work. Put your hands on the far side of the bike on something nice and solid, and lift the bike up and onto the stand.

Fix your mirror cunt.

That dumbass has no idea how much high-speed gravel and shit he shot at that guy. I don't think it's even about the smoke.

>>17647779
Sidestand, not centrestand.

>>17647792
I know. Why would you put your hands on the far side of the bike if you were pulling it into the center stand?

I don't even know who is talking about what the fuck what anymore but assuming you're the guy asking the question, stand on the side of the bike with the kickstand down. Use leverage by pulling on the further away secure parts of the bike. If you bike has passenger seat hand pegs those are perfect. I used the right handlebar in a locked position or the tank for my other hand.

But you know what'd be the easiest way to learn how, ask your friend who knows how to teach you, socially-awkward penguin anon.

Perhaps I misread you.
When I think 'up and onto the stand' I think centrestand, as a kickstand would already be 'on the stand'.

>>17647811
Well yeah, you have to lift it into the side stand before you can pivot it

>>17647819
See >>17647775 and >>17647810

Any questions?

>>17647829
Why would I have questions about something I already know how to do? I think you responded to the wrong person

>i'm relevant at last
the 750 shits all over any 600 and all 900s of the same generation.
>>17646537
98+ 750s were FI
>>17647732
98+ 750 had USD forks too
>>17646239
WRONG. 600rr and 900rr are literal cucks when compared to the voluptuous curves of a late 90s gixxa

Who gives a shit, bike elitism is for fags. What are you a fat baby boomer riding a harley?
