Took my ktm for a fucking RIP today, got lapped by yamahas every race. As I launched off of a jump, getting a massive 5 feet of air, I could feel the rush of energy through my body knowing that my riding level is unmatched. As I landed perfectly, I could feel my triple clamps snap as well as my motor tearing itself apart from inside, I realized that no other company uses the highest quality parts like ktm does, and laughed at the yamaha riders face as he lapped me for the 3rd time. So much soul and passion flowed between my ktm and me that it irrupted into flames and burned to the ground

>>17841377
how about i directly inject my dingdong right between your cheeks?

I had an opportunity today to test ride the new 2018 Yamaha FZ-09 and R6 and I must say that these two bikes are some of the biggest pieces of shit I have ever had the displeasure of sitting on.

R6: this is a complete race bike through and through. I am not new to 600s but I have never seen or felt anything like this before. The throttle throw is retarded and the bike literally idles at 2k-2.5k RPM. It's hard to even just pussy foot around the parking lot without having to rev it up to 10k to actually feel anything. God damn. This might be good for the track but fuck is this useless in the real world.

FZ-09: This is a fast fucking bike but there is something wrong with the throttle. I don't know what exactly but it's a combination of too much play and a weird snatchyness to it that makes it unpredictable/not very linear. Comfortable as hell though.

Fuck both of these bikes. Suzuki is the best

>>17841398
yes but that's an older model

>FZ-09: This is a fast fucking bike but there is something wrong with the throttle.


They are DBW but Yamaha still has a throttle cable and the pot sensor is down by the motor. Shitty throttle on the bike you rode was a setup issue, the tech at the dealer that put it together didn't bother taking the play out.

>>17841516
it is a widely known fact that the FZ-09 has shitty fuelling, can't imagine that is due to dealers not putting them together properly.

>>17841520

First gens had shitty fueling and that was only 2014 and early 2015 models. They offered to flash ECUs and 2016 were fine. Delete this dumb meme.

>adding weight to a bike ever

>>17841528
Plenty of riders and journalists reported that while better, the fuelling was still subpar on newer models.
Yamaha can't meet emissions targets without running the engine overly lean, just like on the R1.

no, i don't care that you put a third party seat on it, im more concerned that it has mismatched rear shocks you great div

>>17841682
... so you say no amount of HP on any bike is ever scary or what? Because even the strongest bikes barely push 200 which is only 15% more.

>>17841712
Even the tuono can push more than 170 with just an ECU flash

>>17841712
>The strongest bikes pull 200hp barely
Are you dumb?

Recently got my full licence after 6 months on small a 125 learner (cg125 clone)

Looking at a mid sized bike now, the CB400 and the similar bikes seem like a good mixture of power and size. I live in a cramped city which my 125 has been great for, so don't want a "full" sized bike. but at the same time fuck 11hp,

The 400cc 4cyl bikes make around 50hp, and seem pretty cool with their high revs.

How much is reasonable to spend on a 2nd bike? i'm looking for one that's mechanically sound but already scratched so i'm not scared of dropping it. I have a week off work coming off and want to go on a road trip with the new bike

>>17841753
not counting prototypes or barely usable "weirdos"?

Yes the current limit for a mass produced, affordable bike is about 200 hp.

It depends on the enviroment, on a large and free track a 200hp bike isn't that scary, on tight as fuck togay even a 500cc can get you around corners at scary speeds.

im talking "not even ABS" here. Yes a modern R1 is probably pretty chill to ride but i heard stories about the earlier EFI ones being the most pants-shitting experiences ever.

Early V4 Tuono meanwhile... popping wheelies seems to be just the standard way they tend to accelerate.

>>17841897
It looks like it's all there and in reasonably good shape. For value the best thing to do is just keep it maintained properly.

Low mileage good condition originals ( they are called survivors ) can be worth more than a perfectly restored bike.

Cheers, the only thing that doesn't work on it is the kickstart, it needs to be bump started every time. Is this a big fix?

>>17842016
No, environmental reasons are yurop and Californias fault, the RC is cucked because of noise regulations.

>>17842034
Nah fampai, yuro and burgerland just have different priorities, but of the 2 the one consistently more retarded is EPA

>>17842032
Depends on what's broke. It could be just a couple of dollars and a hour or two to fix or it could be case splitting time.


Best path is to find a vintage British bike forum and see what are the common failures for it and go from there.

California is sooper-smog-freedom-state compared to Europe. CA hasn't upped their standards since 2008. "Euro 4" was new for 2016, and it's crazy:

Euro 4:
CO: 1.14 g/km
HC: 0.17 g/km
NOx: 0.09 g/km
(HC + NOx): 0.26 g/km

California:
CO: Blond hair, Don't care
(HC + NOx): 0.8 g/km applied as a corporate average

yah, CA allows 3x the smog. And only counts the "corporte average", so flagship bikes can stink more as long as you sell plenty of 300's

Cali CAR standards are tough, but they give Motorcycles a pass, with the given reason that smogging bikes is hard, and people don't ride their bikes as much as they drive their cars, so the overall contribution to smog is still small. bikes are something like 1% of the miles driven in CA but 10% of the smog.

If you're a small builder who produces less than 300 bikes a year, you don't need to meet any standards at all. The state knows that if they take too much fun away, people will fight it.

Nobike here, neighbor put out a 1982 Kawasaki CSR-750 on their lawn, $350 OBO, "carbs clean but not on bike", just under 17,000 miles, seems in okay condition despite some surface rust on the frame. Worth making a offer?

I knew some of you will react like that
I mean downshifting when the rpm is suitable for low and high gear(for example 5th and 4th gear)
The revs is still matching

>>17842627
You mean riding the clutch while downshifting?

>>17842640
I'm not sure what riding the clutch mean
But I'm gonna say Yes(?)
of course I'm not doing it on high rpm, I do it on rpm that is suitable both gears, so I also get engine braking)

>>17842540
It will cause the bike to lurch forward a lot. Best practice is to rev match. It's a lot easier on your drive train and will help you slow down.

>>17842627
>I do "rev match" just without throttle

>>17842627
5th to 4th you don't need to rev match because that's your direct drive gear. Both engine and transmission spin at the same speed in that range. The whole point of rev matching is to get the engine to spin at the appropriate speed when it re-engages with the transmission for a smooth downshift. This won't cause the bike to lurch forward, it's much more controlled, and helps to stop more quickly.

>>17842661
Unless you ride the clutch, which will slowly raise the revs until it's correct on both sides.

I do the same

>>17842661
>It will cause the bike to lurch forward
like in any braking
> and will help you slow down. >>17842674
>and helps to stop more quickly.
I feel this is actually stop slower because the small amount of the throttle make the engine brakes weaker.

>>17842688
Yes this is how I stop, And I feel this method stops the quickest.
and the lurch is not that bad, feels normal.

So I get I should have asked
>How do you stop, rev matching or riding the clutch?


Thank you all, I also learned English Today.

The only time I rev match is when I want to keep the torque.

>>17842723
Are you German by chance, or is there another language where you capitalise random words?

>>17842688
Takes me like 5 times as long to brake if I want to use the clutch to """"rev match""""""

>>17842738
>Are you German by chance,
No
>or is there another language where you capitalise random words?

Then why is your left hand touching your face.
Sit up straight.
You are now aware of your nose in your field of view.

>>17842766
You're still just engine braking. Just less than you would without the clutch. Also why would you want to go slow.

>>17842540
I don't bother either, both my bikes have slipper clutches though.

I do what anon's describing if I'm in granny mode and stopping at the lights, riding with any hast and I rev match and if I'm splitting I over rev a bit so people hear me coming.

If a bike is a 2007 (10 years old)
how many miles should I be looking for
like no more than 40k? less than 30? I know that the less miles on it, the more I have, but I am looking for a beginner bike and want something relatively cheap (college student)

As long as it was well taken care of, mileage shouldn't be that big of an issue, especially if its your first bike and you intend to upgrade later.

If you find a bike that has 60k on it but its owners have been kind to it, don't worry about it.

>>17843349
about 97mph

>>17843360
On my fully protected bike going 100mph+ feels odd already.
Up to 100mph is fine, after that the wobbles come. That takes some getting used to too.

>>17843385
Lucky man, wobbles happen on dirt bikes typically above 65. Had to tighten to fuck outta my suspension, it's a sumo so the stiffer suspension ~is~ good, but the trade off is comfort for stability.

looks better without the bikini fairing imo.

I've always ridden real motorcycles, but I'm traveling to Asia soon and I might rent a scooter/moped.

How different is the experience? One thing that I learned from rider training school was that small-displacement scooters don't usually countersteer, and I could see myself struggling to get used to that. I will definitely consider renting a real bike, but the only reason I'm considering a scooter in the first place is because of the cost.

I feel retarded asking this but should I bother priming the new filter with oil when changing my oil?

If you don't you will have to start and warm the bike up like 3 times before you get the oil level right is all.
also the seal won't ya know seal properly if you do not lubricate it first, you at the very least need to smear oil on that rubber o ring otherwise you just wasted however much money the new oil filter cost because the o ring cost about the same as a new filter.
