oh reposting from last thread
>>17767033
I think the vtec kicks in later, 6700rpm instead of 6500rpm or something.
and i have owned the bike since 2000km, it sat in storage for 2 years after the previous owner (guy in his 80's) dropped it at a set of lights and he decided not to ride anymore, had a service as soon as i bought it as well as new battery, and serviced at 5000, 10,000, 15,000 and 20,000km with new oil filter and motul 7100 10w40 each service. (coolant has not been changed since 5000km service)
brand new pp3 rear tyre and front is pp2ct at about 50%

it's normally pretty nasty after 5000km, pic related, its red when it goes in.

>>17767055
Mine looks like that after 17k. Although I generally have added about 1L in between, as mine likes to use some oil.

>>17767055
are you changing your oil on carpet?

Yes.
My shed has carpet over the concrete in case of spills, stops oil stains from happening on the concrete, that shits annoying to clean.

not sure if i want a 1000 or 600 yet to be honest.
thousand is cool for muh straight line speed but with how much twisty riding i do i feel like id have double the fun on a 600.

probably going to end up with an r6 idk.
still need to decide if i want to buy pic for a practice bike first.

Well lads, wat do? I'm hoping this is just a drain plug or the oil filter being loose. Would it be likely that the oil pan gasket would've bit the dust be at 15k?

>>17767062

>>17767081
It's from your gearbox.
or the oil filter being loose could do it, did you only do it up hand tight or something?
there are tools available for doing up oil filters.

>>17767034
It is weird seeing dirt bike suspension actually compressed to its fullest.
makes the bikes look tiny.

I rode 15k km with a leaking drive shaft before even looking at it

>>17767098
That's not really a good thing anon.
it says you are lazy and do not care about things you pay good money for or in other words, you are wasteful.

>>17767102
It's a €4k shitbike, it doesn't care about anything as long as there is enough oil.

>>17767087

Yeah, I think I left the oil filter hand tight. Ditsy move on my end, my filter even has the freaking wrench off nut on the end, I should've torqued it down.

>>17767098

That is not good, friend.

just noticed my leather combi has no protection for my genitals
why is that?
do you have protection there?

Are RE and WES plates local for you?

>>17767278
WES is where I picked it up yeah, but not my locale.

Gotta get it insured and everything now, dealer was kind enough to let me leave with their plates.

I have some paint chipped of my gas tank. Repair shop said it's going to cost me $250 to straighten out the steel and do the paint job.
How can one fix it himself? I'm not going to straighten the steel, I just need to cover the chipped off place so it won't rust. Can I use a nail polish or something?

>>17767295

Just get the color code and get touch up paint (they've got little pens for those jobs).

Does anybody know any helmet brands that are good for round heads?

I spent over 3 hours in the shop trying every single helmet and not a single one fit, they all pressed badly on my temples.

Already have baiku and riding classes all done but since it's Summer, exam center is overbooked and I won't be able to take my exam for full license until halfway through September. FUCK.

I am looking for a good getaway bike for under 2k, it needs to handle decently at speed on a motorway and, also to handle itself off roads/trails. 20% Motorway, 40% Secondary roads/twisties/40% Off road.


I have concluded the answer is likely to be a modded DR650. What's your opinion?

>>17767431
That you already asked.

>>17767431
get an old adv bike I guess.

>>17767431

Or maybe an mx bike with a sumo conversion

I think I'm going to go ride to breakfast anyway. Damn the noisy chain.

>>17767431
>under 2k
Assuming freedombux, KLR650 or DR650. Good luck finding one in reasonable condition for that price depending on market. I paid $1650 for mine and apparently that was a steal.

>>17767447
Just put plenty of wax on chain

>>17767451
Yeah I cleaned it a couple months ago but I don't think I put quite enough wax on it. I already have a new pair of sprockets and a chain to go on it but I've been too damn lazy to drag my ass outside in the middle of the night on what days I get off to do it.

fml

I'm a bit confused about the Suzuki SV650 and the Gladius.

Are they the same model, only they were called different names depending on the year? Could you say every Gladius is a SV650, but not the other way?

I think I read every SV650 came with a aluminum frame, but the Gladius had a steel frame. Is it true? Is the SV650 better all around, other than the frame?

Finally, is it a good upgrade from a GS500 or will I not notice much of a difference?

>>17767469
The forest worried is something you can look up yourself in less than 4 minutes.

As for the bike itself, it won't be that much of a noticeable upgrade. Consider a triumph or a more powerful sport tourer

>>17767483
>Forrest worried
First question

>>17767469
you won't notice anything, I'd suggest getting a litre bike.

>>17767469
No, no, Sv650 2017 has a lightwitgh steel frame, SV650 is better and nicer all around.

>>17767221
I was looking at getting a CBR400RR but the fact it's a 25 year old bike kinda put me off. Fuck knows how much life it has left in it at that age. I think you can buy aftermarket chink fairings for the modern CBR250 if all you care about is the looks.

It's pretty much a fasted, sportier, lighter RC36 I. So yes, I love my RC36, but the RC36 II is the better bike. It just didn't come in many colours in the USA and the red is okay, but not enough to get me to give up my RC36 I.

So finally picked this beast up today. I can confirm it shows 190mph on the clocks flat out.

I have a financing question for you /dbt/. If I still owe money on my current bike, but want to buy another new bike because I'm horrible with money, is it possible to trade my current bike that I still owe on for the new bike and pay the difference or something? How does that work?

Thanks.

Those aren't the date code. The date code format is always 4 digits showing the week and year of production. For example, my tire was made on the 47th week of 2016.

Ohlins shock, yoshi system, power commander and a set up.
Thats all the mods. My TL is fully nigged tho.

>>17768751
I did. I've had it for about three years now and it's time for an upgrade. I have the disposable income to pay a couple hundred a month on financing a bigger bike, so I'd like to trade my current smaller bike in (still owe on it) for a larger bike.

Do I just pay the difference or what? I see people do this all the time with cars, I'm just not sure how it works. So many people especially where I live will finance a car, then two or three years later trade it in for the newer model and the cycle never ends. I don't want to be like that, I just want a bigger bike.

What you want to do is possible but it is a pretty irresponsible thing to do. Actually, on a motorcycle you may have trouble rolling your debt into a new loan since there is so little value compared to a car.

Just be patient and pay off your bike first. Then list it for sale. You won't get as much for it trading it in at a dealer.

>>17768789
nope works perfectly, went for a good blast on moday with my mate on her S.

>>17768771

This sounds really dumb, I would just pay off your bike and then sell it on CL. You'll get more money this way, and maybe you'll be able to get a cheap bike on CL too with that money.

>>17768784
With the mods I have done its better than the RC51

Dear god that windscreen. Ermax makes a decent "sport" screen but I cant find one in the US.

All I want is a non-retarded screen to patch up the retarded headlight of the stock '17. Im secretly hoping they recall the bike due to the shit headlights killing people and remake a new cluster.

This but in black.

>>17767240
I like the flyscreen, makes it look like a mini fz10

Exactly, A bigger bike isn't worth the financial mess you will put yourself in. Just be patient and you will appreciate it more when you can afford to upgrade.

What about selling my bike through a private party? If I paid my bike off today it'd cost me $4800, but the private party selling price is about $6000, meaning I do not have negative equity on my bike - at least when selling private party. Now, a dealership is a whole other ballgame since they need to in turn sell the bike later so they have to offer less for a trade.

Would it be feasible to sell my bike for $5500-$6000 through a private party, pay off the $4800 loan, and use the extra ~$1000 as a down payment on the bigger bike I want?

>>17768859
Jesus, I wouldn't even want to ride to a shop to get my tire replaced. Fucking hell those tires should be in a museum.

>>17768910
I've ridden on tyres made in 1999, in the year 2014

>>17768906

Good luck finding a buyer that will hand over the cash without a title in hand.

>>17768914
Wouldn't the bank that has the title give it to the buyer? I mean there's no negative equity in this case, so as soon as the buyer pays for the bike the bank would be paid in full, thus releasing the title. Where's the problem with that?

>>17768923
Dont buy a bike you can't afford. Just save up until you have enough for a new one

>>17768923

I'm not saying it can't be done but most people won't bother with it. If I saw a listing on craigslist with an offer like that I would assume it was a scam and move on.

can someone make one of those "can i copy your homework" memes with the grom and the kawasaki z125

Reccommend me a good beginning bike for college, I'm 5'8 and have never ridden before. I enrolled into the dmv course for next month and I'd like a good beginner platform before hand so I can immediately start practicing after the course.

The headlights are really bright and wide, but you can't see SHIT in corners.

And that is actually dangerous.

>>17768945
Damn.
I already had dry rotten valve stems on a 15y/o bike.

>>17768958
Sorry, not 1954, it was a 1976, and it was kept in museum quality private collections for most of those years so it wasn't really that bad, it was more just this constant screaming in the back of my head that I'm on a MV Agusta race bike that's probably worth a hundred grand and if one of these tires goes I'm fucked.

Anyone own or have experience with KTM? Was thinkin about getting a 390, but I don't know much about KTM aside from them being Austrian. I don't know anyone who's owned one personally. They look fun though.

Yes it is feasible, the thing that will fuck you on this is if the bank you have it financed through is not local. I purchased a financed bike from out of state. The seller had the loan at his local bank. The bank folks knew exactly what to do/paperwork to fill out. I paid off the loan, gave the guy that I was buying it from the extra $300 and the bank had the signed title in my mailbox in 2 days. If you have it financed from some institution that does not have a local to you presence it'll be a motherfucker to get anybody to hand you cash and wait for the title on your word.

Wew, I guess I'll buy new ones at the end of this month. Honestly I could probably finish off this season on them without incident, I have never gotten a loss of traction on the road except for a dandy intersection

I tried bigger sizes and they were too loose.

>>17769662
Buy thicker padding.

My Icon Pro Construct helmet is a medium but I have small helmet liner because it was too loose.

I'm gonna buy a street triple 765R next year, I swear on me mum m8.

>>17769052
Holy Fuck. Why do bike lights keep getting worse?

Most bikes these days don't even use both "eyes" for the low beam and it is very noticeable in corners, even without muh laser accurate led cutoffs that belong in cars

>>17769572
you'll get used to it eventually, if it doesn't you might want to consider changing your lever a little bit. But when i first started riding i was feeling a little fatigue for first couple weeks or so.

you could also try fapping with your clutch hand for max gains.

>>17769571
Like the other anon said, KTM 1190r, I'm too tall to fit on sport bikes.

EBR would be a neat bike but parts might be an issue down the line.

black or white helmet?

>>17769774
black and white

Cueball, then adorn it with waifu stickers, a ride-break-fix sticker, a safety third sticker, and whatever else suits your fancy.

You have to buy large sizes. Remember these companies have jap manlet designers

Help me /dbt/.

Do I wanna get a GSXR 750 or a ZX10R?

I was originally attracted to the 750 because of how light it is, but 443 lbs doesn't sound to bad for the zx10 either.

How big of a difference would I notice in handling between the two? Can you still weave pretty quick on a litre bike?

I've only ever road a cbr500, so I don't even know what to expect from having four cylinders.

>>17769821
I tried one, horrendous pressure points on my temples.

>>17769833
No, it's a pig
Too fast for the twists. Racing a liter is all about braking in time, but not too much.

>>17769833
Either would be fine.
If you're buying for street I'd test ride them to find out which is the most comfy

can you restrict a Z900?

Am I being played?

Tried to buy an R1 from a guy, but when I reached out to go look it over, he said he sold it a few days before then. Today is a few days after that, so after some maths, it's been about a week and the craigslist is still up, as well as an offer up(for less money).

Is he playing me? Is there something I'm missing? A week is too damn long to leave a sold ad up, especially after someone has inquired already.

>>17769945
Some anon on here restricted a Fireblade, you can restrict whatever the fuck you want, doesn't mean you should.

>>17769961
I actually heard there's limits to wehat you restrict now

asking since I really want a Z900, and once I can get the A licence I would like to keep the same bike

The lights weren't properly set all he had to do was adjust them

>>17769948
Are you black

>>17770056
Actually white as fuck, with a pretty white name. His name is stereo-typically middle-eastern though.

Just another inept CL seller. Happens a lot. Also funny is when sellers put up an ad to announce their bike has been sold.
