First for honda a pretty ok

So what's the consensus on the best cities for urban riding/hooliganing in the states that still have plenty of offroad potential?

>>17761817
When you think about it, cities are mostly but the same sharp corner over and over again so you have no excuse to not know how to lean, brake, and work on learning what makes a good line.

>>17761817
>>17761813
When I say city I dont mean huge ass population centers with giant skyscrapers and bumper to bumper traffic. Just big ass towns with plenty of opportunities for urban exploration.

Then why does /dbt/ shit on detuned bikes

Starter motor problems guy here.

I took apart my starter motor and two little pieces of plastic fell out from the bottom of it that broke off of it. I don't know what anything in there is called, but I can post a picture of it, but I feel like that doesn't matter since I can confirm that something in it is broken. So I'm guessing I was right about my starter motor being fucked.

Where can I buy a new one? The cheapest place I've found so far is amazon

>>17761866
Because some top end is still desirable and detuned bikes have less of everything and race-losing pigfat and floppy chassis/suspensions

>>17761819
Till you factor in trying to get knee down in a city is an awful idea. Pot holes, Police and Pedestrians.

You'll definitely be good at braking hard and clutch control. You're not going to really learn how to take a good "racing" line though.

>>17761879
That is not at all a necessary skill to have though

>>17761871
I bought mine off ebay, but it was for an old obscure bike, so that was all I could find.
If your bike is common you should be able to find one at whatever website supports your bike.
I get parts from multiple sources that specialize in certain manufactures. Look on forums for your bike.
Or go the ebay/amazon route.
I got one from ebay that sucked, while another works fine.

>>17761879
>tfw friend got a 65 over dragging knee on the citys only curvy road at 3am

I still have no idea why he stopped. Even if they got the plate, worst case scenario would have been a 1000$ registered owner ticket. (No demerits if they canr prove who was riding)

>>17761902
Was the one from ebay that sucked new or used? The cheapest I can find is on ebay. Everything else is about $100 more expensive. It says it's new and has the right part number and they offer free returns though

>>17761906
>hey you, stop enjoying yourself at no cost to others.
Cops should give coupons for the HIDEOUSLY FUCKING EXPENSIVE track days you get in the US instead of tickets, honestly.

Or track operators should lower prices. It's bad enough that the pavement on any track not actually used for motorsport is garbage (and even then, some popular tracks like the burgerring have bumps in corners that fuck with bikes). You have to pay like $300 just for a total hour or two of riding and 5 hours of sitting in the sun. The best part being that your average track might have five corners and will definitely have a huge straight because the track is mostly used as a drag strip.

Yeah and it's the only naked bike aside from the SuperDuke 1290R where my knees didn't hurt after an hour.
All the fucking bikes a built for manlets it seems.

>>17761955
It's the newer model, the front seemed fine.
Probably gonna change the rear shock out though.

>>17761957
If you're 6'0" (using this because everyone here fell for kike propaganda and thinks average german height is the manlet cutoff while the real master race is comprised of weed smoking feminist danes) and heavier than 140lb you're either exceptionally /fit/ (unlikely), and should just buy stiffer springs, or fat (likely).

>>17761914
The one that sucked was new, but it was only $30 and the power connection was glued on.
If they offer free returns then it might not be a bad deal.

Getting a Ninja 300 tomorrow, what's /o/'s opinion on it? It's a '14 and has 7000 miles on it. Any known problems?

I've been riding for a while now, had a '82 Maxim 650 last year, decided cruisers don't fit with my manlet frame, and then this popped up.

If you've been riding for a while you should not have bought a noob beginner bike.

>>17761998
0-60 is not the issue.
The bad brakes, the lackluster suspension, the capacity to overtake, the shitty tires.

You won't be happy with it. At least look for a 600 or even a 650 sportbike.

>>17761998
Have fun getting run over and not being able to get out of the way. have fun not being able to pass people in a safe manner. have fun having no acceleration on the highway.

Shit nigga my pig fat ST does half that

>>17761998
Then why the fuck are you buying a sport bike at all? The only reason to buy those ugly ass bike is for the speed.

>>17761998
have fun not being able to stop or buy decent tires too btw

>>17761973
That would firmly place you in the 'overweight' category

>>17761988
The connector had what looked like glue at the base. After putting it on and taking it off like 3 times the positive end would wiggle back and forth. I then ran a test on it and it wouldn't spin. It was shit, luckily on my escapade I found that the relay was the failed part, and could use my old starter.

That starter looks pretty good to me. Not underpriced, free returns and its for a common bike.

>>17762013

Just because it's the norm doesn't make it healthy you turd.

>>17761974
I would get something older. but you might like it. It probably gets good gas mileage.

>>17761998
once you're going 60 you're 3/4s of the way to redline. highways speeds are normally clsoer to 75-80. your engine lacks the power to pass. corollas are faster. you are condemned the the clusterfuck of the slow lane/merging lane and probably going to die because you can't be statistically safer and go 5mph faster than traffic.

>>17762028
XSR900 is aesthetic as fuck and it's a good bike

>>17762014
Out of curiosity, what kind of symptoms was your motorcycle showing when you got a new starter? How'd you find out that it was the relay?

>>17762025
Thats why you don't get it for 60+mph. For a short stint in the right hand lane on the freeway it would be fine. It may lack the power, but he can rev the shit out of it all the time. I can't row through the gears with a 90+hp bike and not be worried about a ticket.
I commuted on a scooter for 2yrs under 60mph. It was great.

>>17762037
dbt is even worse than the rest of /o/ who would have figured

>>17762043
Yes, we should get our own board for that reason

>>17762042
>he can rev the shit out of it all the time.
This is the weakest justification to getting a shitbike

>>17762040
I was having problems tuning a carb that had a cv carb that had the slide break apart.
After getting a new slide I cleaned the carb, then ended up starting a fuck ton to get it to run right after some tuning.
Then it wouldn't want to start. So I went through the power lines and found they were fine, pulled the starter and verified it worked. Before this the bike was starting fine, then it would just go click, I think I ran a multimeter on it and didn't get any hard evidence so I just said fuck it. Then bought a relay, slapped it in, and it started fine.
I am currently trying to tune this carb, but shit has been getting out of hand.
The good news is I learned a lot, and it was on a shitbike anyways.

>>17762028
Depends on your ergonomics really.
And the tiger is a completely different bike from the XSR and Streety.
Manlet = Street Triple
Regular = XSR 900
Lanklet = Tiger

>>17762042
>row through the gears and not be worried about a ticket

by gear 3 you're already breaking every speed limit outside the highway you fucking moron

>>17762043
Dbt IS /o/

>>17762058
I mean the only shitty part is starts to get annoying sometimes, but how is it a weak justification.
I don't enjoy a heavy ass bike with "sit up and beg" positioning that has loads of power. A non heavy bike is probably fun though.

>>17762081
end me

>>17762086
Get a turbo busa and do it yourself

>>17762082
You want a track toy but you want to ride it on public roads. That's dumb.

The most popular road bike (a harley) isn't a top speed sports monster either, I mean cruisers top out at around the same spot as most family cars, but it does have a fuckload of torque and acceleration 300s and 250s lack because

>muh shiftan gears
>it's a sportbike i swears
>i know how 2 ride lol

>>17762065
Sounds kinda similar to what's happening with mine. Starting it only makes the relay click, too. I tried jumping the battery directly to the starter motor though and it wouldn't move. I also checked to see if the battery was making it to the starter while it was on the bike by using a multimeter on the negative end of the battery and the positive end of the starter and it was definitely picking up voltage. So I'm assuming with mine, it actually is the starter that's fucked up.

Also I took apart the starter and found a couple pieces of plastic broken off of something on the inside, which I'm like 95% sure I didn't break while opening it

But yeah, I've learned a shit load about how my motorcycle works from dealing with this just today

>>17762039
It really is. The only thing really throwing me off is going minimalist the dash is. Probably gonna pull the trigger on it if I can find a good deal next month

>>17762076
Not if I have a slow bike with low gearing while not shifting at the top of the power band. At the very least I enjoy using a decent portion of my engine and having a small bike. Is that unfathomable for your guys? Is it Go big or Go home?

Tiger 1050

800 is more of a all road bike. If the huge cart wheel in the front didn't already show you that.

>>17762068
Tiger 800 ergos aren't neccesarily comfy for a lanket. Despite being very upright. It's like your knees are in a vice after very long rides and everything above is kinda detached from that. Thought the streep triple was better imo.

>>17762101
daddy no

>>17762098
I don't understand what's so enjoyable about massively accelerating engine wear when you're not even going fast. What a waste of good metal.

If I'm going to be topping out my 600 it's either going to be at a track or I'm going to be breaking the law

>>17762099
I'd expect turbo lag to be somewhat dangerous but otherwise yeah the busa is comfy for what it is

>>17762090
Just because its popular doesn't mean I want it. Also I enjoy the canyons/touge and am somewhat of a shitty/newbie rider. It's easier for me to run a lighter bike with a managable power band than some 100+hp bike.
I rode a bike with a large amount of torque throughout the rev range. I am just not into it yet, maybe after 5 years+ of more riding I might be.

>>17762105
>he always does the speed limit
top kek anon

>>17762103
Really? I never even rode the tiger desu, but I know many tall dudes choose it.
Testrode the Street Triple and that was just tiny.

Personally, I would get the XSR but I'm biased since I'm about to pick up an MT 09 tonight

>>17762106
the thing about the non linear power memes is that you learn where it is and how to expect it very fast, usually in first gear when it's not going to put you very far over 80mph, during a purposeful highway pull.

people seriously overestimate motorcycle throttles. even supersports require a conscious effort to rev to death, and you're not going to whisky throttle over bumps unless you are literally holding it wrong.

>>17762031
>current year
>working out and spending more money on food and protein
>not working on a cute twink body
I used to be like you until I saw the light

>>17762095
I agree that it is the starter due to the act of broken shit coming out of it. You verified that it was getting power, and you tried starting it outside of the bike with no luck.
The relay click means it is sending power/functioning. I think mine wasn't sending full power or something

>>17762116
Yeah, I'm hoping you're right. If it isn't the starter, that means I accidentally fucked it up without realising it and forced myself to buy a new starter without even fixing the original problem haha

I'll probably have to buy a new relay soon though too. I noticed the voltage reading after the relay was a tiny bit lower than before it. Only like .04 or something, so not enough to matter, but I feel like that's a sign that it might need replacing down the road soon

>>17762105
I mean I usually wouldn't rev up to the redline, heck in the fun roads I run at about 50% rpm's because that is where the power is.

>If I'm going to be topping out my 600 it's either going to be at a track or I'm going to be breaking the law
That's just like, your opinion man.
If I was running a 600 I would almost never use full potential.

>>17762120
If not using the full potential bothers you for some autistic reason, even though used 300s cost as much as used 600s on some craigslists....

Really,

I got a 1050 sport, borrowed an 800 xr a few times for semi-long rides. It has it's merits but the 2013 + tiger 1050 is a better bike for the street. Took a street triple for a test drive. Though your experience may differ. It's definitely small, but your whole body hugs it. Thought it was more comfortable. Think it has to do with where you transfer most of your body weight, not sure. 6'4" / 6'5" ( 194/195cm) Got about a 34' inseam.

>>17762136
>buying into the ABS meme
every single video i have ever seen where they compare ABS to non ABS they intentionally lock the rear wheel on the bike with ABS to make it look like it did worse.

You must be a nobike fag otherwise you wouldn't be talking out of your ass. The amount of confidence & difference a dual/full ABS bike provides over non-abs bike is night and a day.

>>17762161
Maybe on the long run, took it out for a 2 hour ride. So can't say 100% sure. But it was okay. No real stress on the joints. Just a wooden arse. But that's due to a lack of sitting meat.

>>17762163

Here's something for the aussies on their p plates.

Just took one of the triumph street triple learner legal bikes apart to see if we couldn't get it to make a bit of power. Got the throttle stop off it to see if the factory statements were true (that it would just dump fuel, etc).

Ran fine, no fault codes, probably making about double the power now. Just like the ducati, all you do is pull the throttle stop and it's basically sorted (probably chuck a PC5 on for good measure to sort the fueling if you're keen).

These things are a little too easy to just derestrict. I doubt they even do much in the ecu either (considering you can get it up to 220 w/ restrictor removed).

>>17762355
Annnnd now you need to get it engineered to be a LAMS approved bike again, when you go to sell it you can not list it as LAMS approved by doing what you did.

>>17762383

I think you might just put the throttle stop back on instead mate.

>>17762387
Ask Ninja crash anon, he de restricted his ninja 650, crashed it and was in all sorts of deep doody.

>>17762391

Insurance would be a pickle - they'll check that sort of thing. This bike is just ctp, so different story.

For ctp they can't terminate the contract for modifications, even illegal ones, because it is a statutory scheme that works on civil liability act negligence tests. Would be a question of whether the derestriction was the cause of the accident (so if you get t-boned, it just won't play in).

There is a Transitions visor available for the RF-1200/NXR that'll automatically tint in the sun and turn clear in the dark, at intermediate lights it'll have less of a tint than during the middle of a bright day.
It's the single best motorcycle accessory that I've ever purchased. Once you've used one you'll never want to go back to separate clear/tinted visors.

What's teh consensus on the CBR500?

>>17762449

Not sure about consensus, but I've seen a couple about. Cheaper end of the Honda game, so what you're getting is a reliable platform that is just stripped of glamour. Finish is average, motor is likely bullet-proof, suspension would be on the poor side. As a commuter, sure. If you want something to have a bit of fun on, wouldn't recommend it (it's a gs500f that won't rust as badly).

Mates I just bought a little 2 stroke dirtbike for my nephew and then got told by a friend that I need to replace the piston rings every 20 hours? Not sure where he got this little piece of trivia but since I dont know an awful lot about 2 strokes I was hoping one of you could help me out. No problems so far (except a slippery clutch) and the bike runs fine with the previous owner never doing this and only keeping up regular maintainance such as oils and the like. Any ideas?
The bike is a 2003 KTM 65SX

>>17762449
It's a cheap parallel twin for commuters who want to pretend to ride sportbikes. If you have an ounce of pride in you, you'll leave it the fuck alone because it is not a lightweight twisties carver any more than other cheap 500cc bikes. If it had a sportbike chassis, suspension, and brakes just with a weaker but lightweight engine it would cost as much as an actual sportbike. And be an aprilia, not a honda.

Ridden on a track, where the sporty looks are for more than boosting your ego.

Just had a bunch of sand niggers in a riced up car following me for half an hour.

They were behind me for a while, following all my directions, so I decided to take a detour, indicate left, they indicate left. Then I cancel and indicate right, and they do the same. That pretty much confirmed it. Then I pull up to the side and stare them down, and they drive off.

I lost any thrill to filter through traffic. Last couple of days I only slowly move myself to the stop line on a red light, other than this I behave like a car.

>>17762714
I filter like that too. You don't actually get anywhere any faster unless cars are stopped.

Also it's illegal here and every argument I have for it when angry 30 year olds in econoboxes yell at me helps

In the UK with our narrow roads and heavy traffic, our filtering gaps are always crazy tight and I'd be paranoid I'd swipe a massive gouge of paint off a car with my handlebars. I mean, this looks like you'd be permently stressed:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmrZpQw2xxM

>>17762723
>>17762740
I actually do get faster. If I'm filtering aggressively I can beat car's time on my daily commute by half, getting there in 13 minutes instead of 25-30. And even then most of my maneuvers are legal (except for crossing the single solid line when I'm changing lanes in a tunnel).
I just don't feel like it anymore.

>>17762746
>More like 20-25, but still

>>17762714
I used to filter like a fucking maniac then one day I forgot I was carrying my massive panniers on the back and smashed into the car on my left, then the one on my right.

After that day my filtering was been way, way more sedate.

Small drop is no big deal but you were wise to check it for reference.

Also make sure your power and ground connections are good. I unbolt the grounds and apply anti-seize to the bolt threads.

I always jump to the starter first then work my way back.

Also know your battery resting voltage. Comes in handy. Usually about 12.5-12.7 volts. A 12-volt battery showing 12 volts even is not charged.

>>17762827
Yeah. We're men. Not like those reddit manginas who mistake their quivering, prolapsed rectums and infected perineal piercings for having transformed into female genitalia.

Learn how to do compression tests and don't go by operating hours. Compression testers are cheap and will tell you top end condition. (Also great if buying used bike. Bring spark plug wrench and extensions when doing that because owners rarely have them.)

You wouldn't and the opinion of anyone who cares about anime is the opinion of a fool, but drag helmets are fucking stupid on a bike because no air managemet. They are designed to keep your face from melting off for long enough to egress the car or be put out by the safety crew.

Buying helmets for style over function is nigger-tier stupid. You aren't typically staring at yourself from the side while riding. Just get a well-fitting quality helmet and stop thinking silly thoughts.

Or build a drag car to go with the Simpson.

For glasses there's really nothing you can do, even with a proper air flowed helmet the will get foggy the moment you stop. Contacts is the way to go.

For the visor get a pinlock one.

I'm sorry to hear that buzzing triggers your autism friend.

It triggers everyones autism. Do you think liters are popular just because they're liters even when every other owner hasn't actually gone WOT yet?

>t. noob rider

you can cruise nicely on 110 km with 250cc, even 115 km/h if you want.
with a 300cc you can even cruise better at 110-120 km/h
And if you need more power for my safety it's just mean you are a bad rider

The buzz on 6-7k rpm is the coolest, I like it.
Nothing like medium-high rpm on cruise,

"Safety" is newspeak for "i don't like being judged and need to get up to 100+mph fast so people can't look at me"

what bike is john wick riding here?

>>17763226
Because I don't want to hurt a nice grill

>>17763232
i think he has this deal with a small motorcycle company that builds basically his own bike.

So i guess its that.

real stupid question here but are front fork seals supposed to leave this filmy stain on the fork in the area they move at?

i never paid attention to it but if i run my finger on the fork i can feel finger getting kinda oily but it doesnt leak so much that you could see lines or any black shit

>>17763273
Which bike are you riding? Your shock seals are leaked and need to be replaced. Happens if your bike is stationary for extended periods of times or if you're a wheelie fanatic.

I believe he actually owns the company.

He owns the company, it's basically a bike tailor made to his taste.

anyone else too scared to wheelie?

i ride a drz but it doesn't feel as though it could even lift the front wheel without dumping the clutch at redline.

It can power wheelie, but i shit myself every time it happens and even though i try to concentrate on keeping rear brake covered i always end up losing my footings and freaking out.

ive started slowly practising off road but again i only get it maybe 5cm off the ground and then drop it again.

I just really struggle to sit back and relax into it.

help.

Nah I bet you have those who drive on the right on 60 miles per hour.
You can always stick to right lane.

What you are saying is like saying the same to someone who drive some car with 1.2 liter engine(without turbo), you can pass someone if you are good driver, the bike and the car can still accurate fast enough.

>>17763309
Honestly ive never kept a motocross so not sure what kinda bike or how many cc's you riding.

Around 25/30km in first gear I two-finger jerk the clutch whilst giving it decent gas. Keep your foot on the rear break if your angle gets too vertical you can hit the rear break and the bike will come down.

Just watch some youjewb vids on how to wheelie a DRZ. Some mad whoolers there

>>17763329

>>17763336
>Just watch some youjewb vids on how to wheelie a DRZ. Some mad whoolers there

ive done literally countless hours of that and i understand the process to wheelie, but i always bitch it :( just dont have the balls to pop it up and not give any fucks.

too scared of instantly looping out and ass fucking my subframe or handlebars

>>17763289
>>17763309
It's hard for me to learn how to do a wheelie too mostly because my bike is my only ride/commuter so if I loop out I'm fucked. On a bicycle I can only wheelie like 20ft before I fall to the side so I can't see myself doing any better on a motorcycle.
I've gotten spurts of confidence to try a wheelie on backroads but every time I drop the clutch my bike just bogs and then accelerates quickly. I've done popped the front tire up by yanking the throttle in first but that's a recipe for looping.

>>17763354
>It's hard for me to learn how to do a wheelie too mostly because my bike is my only ride/commuter so if I loop out I'm fucked.

ive never been able to wheelie a bicycle at all in any way.

YOLO FAGGOTS

Also you dont have to wheelie on a bicycle to learn how to wheelie. My first wheeli was on the R1 before that I had the ZX7R and before that the CB400 & even before that the 125 and never once did I wheelie. You either have it or you don't but if you don't try as often you'd never find out.

>>17763348

I'll find out soon when the rain clears up

>>17763368
>I'll find out soon when the rain clears up

aus?

melb?

Whenever I let my hand off the throttle (to reposition, to give it a rest, etc) the bike slows down A LOT, lurching me forward. Is this normal or something else? It's my first bike and when I drive a car, letting off the gas does slow the car down, but I'm not lurched forward by deceleration.

>>17763393
Yes, especially if mono or 2 cyl.

She's just a 350cc so I guess 2 cylinder. I guess I'm just being really sensitive to things with her because she's my first bike and I don't have a base like I do when all my car driving experience of what's normal and what's not. Thank you.

Care to clarify then?

>>17762411
I got a TaoTao 50cc a month ago that needed some work. So far I've replaced the carb, ignition coil, spark, solenoid, fuel lines, petcock, and replaced the battery. The guy who sold me the carb said it was serviceable, though, and that was bullshit; even though it was a KeiHin and they're supposed to be decent. I got it running, before the carb started to flood every time, but it was accellerating by itself and not by throttle. It kind of worried me, apparently that can be an air leak somewhere. So gonna order a new carb for myself, and a throttle cable/new air filter/ gas sensor and get back to it.

I did pick up a Flyscooter Il Bello 150 today, too, for free. Its been sitting in a neighbors yard for a year and she wanted it gone. Its going to need serious work, but it has the potential to be a gorgeous scoot. I also plan on getting ahold of a daily driver, so I can have transpo while I fix the two projects.

Cant wait to get some free time to go to motorcycle school now and save up for a real bike, and hang with the cool /dbt/ kids. In the meantime, hell yeah scootbro

The CBR500 is made in Thailand I think.
