Ew she has boobs and an extra dimension and stuff

Odd question.
Is it possible to swap a bike's 2 stroke engine for a 4 stroke?

I know it's a stupid idea for some. I just want to know if it is possible or not.

It depends on the bike and what you mean by possible, you can put a 1299 panigale engine in a grom, anything's possible, doesn't mean it will be easy or a good idea. You need to elaborate more if you want an actual answer.

not that offroad but rather a dirtroad.
did overtake some GSA and even a KTM SE. Truth to be told, no good riders on these bikes, but street bikes are a lot more capable than most people think

>>17848628
I thought the same thing when I heard it, I noticed in all the press mumbo jumbo they mentioned something about a different firing order than traditional V4s so that's probably why. I also noticed it was going to be an 1100, so what's the point of it if it sounds like shit, can't compete in WSBK, and isn't any more powerful than their old 1200 twins?

>>17848674
Should go fine assuming you get a similar sized(<200cc single) engine, but why the hell would you want to?

how bad were you guys on your first day riding? just completed my CBT (compulsory basic training) and now im road legal for a 125cc but on the training day I had 1 near crash and locked up my back wheel on a duel carriageway and skidded along for a bit. It's thrown me a bit and im unsure whether motorbikes are for me

>>17848689
50cc is all I can have, sadly. Might as well try and make it sound half decent.

>>17848685
yep. as long as there aren't steep hills or big logs and rocks a street bike can go most places a dirt bike can, only much slower.

>>17848701
4-strokes generally make much less power per displacement than 2-strokes, so you will lose a lot of power by swapping it.

Thread theme

>>17848692
My first day riding I was on a 50cc Honda mini trail that my dad hadn't taught me how to shift out of first gear, I hit my sandbox and launched myself over the handle bars, then drove it into a small creek by my house.

>>17848701
That's retarded, a 50cc 4 stroke will sound much worse and have so little power it can't get out of it's own way. Stick to the two stroke.

>>17848692
Had some sketchy things happen during training. The first day or two was alright but a little sketchy. After that I got used to the bike. Take it to a parking lot and practice maneuvering it to get a feel for your bike

>The first day or two was alright but a little sketchy
first day or two of training? for us it's just one day of training then you can get on the road. I'd like to get used to maneuvering it a bit more but by far my biggest issue was shifting down gears (this was when i near skidded out) so I need a decent stretch of empty road to properly practice

Anon I doubt you're going to listen to this because you sound like you're just looking for an echo chamber, but don't do it, you will waste a ton of time an money and end up with a worse bike, if you want a worse bike just sell yours and buy one.

>>17848729
50cc four stroke is like a lawnmower engine lmao
two stroke engines by definition are more efficient than 4 strokes, don't replace your engine with something even worse

Hey /dbt/
Why are there literally no ads for motorcycles anywhere?
I have NEVER seen any on TV or anywhere in my city

is it the fucking car lobby?

>>17848753
>>17848763
I don't plan on doing it right away. Only after riding the bike for a couple of years and after much thinking on whether or not it's worth it.
For now, I'm just checking my possibilities.
Thank you for the advice.

>>17848767

Turbo 'Busa

Real talk, Ninja 300 if you want something smol, or get a 650 twin. Those are your two best bets. 650 twins make less power than 600 4 cylinders, but make more torque so it's more linear and you don't have to rev the piss out of it. There's also the Honda CBR500 which is nice, about the same power as a 300 but slightly more, and more torquier. They look cool too.

>Ninja 300
>SV650
>Ninja 650

All of these can be had for cheap used on craigslist and will serve you well. Take the MSF if you can, try not to die. Remember that drivers are retarded and can't see you. Seriously, I know everyone says that and it's kind of a cliche meme but it's very true. People will try and merge into you.


If you want to start on a 600 or 1000, you shouldn't. Im not your dad tho, do what you want. It's just fucking dumb. I watched a dude with no license flip his 1000cc bike last week and almost die, so basically don't be that guy.

Honda 500 twin. Comes in four flavors, gets 80+mpg, powerful enough for anything street legal, wheelies, easy to work on, replacement parts for the rest of your natural life, and 100k mile engine.

The CB500F can be found as low as 3500 USD at dealership. CBR500R has aftermarket to make it an actual sportbike position if you want to practice gofas. CB500X has access to the rally raid kit, making it one of the best light ADV bikes on the market. Rebel 500 has high pegs and a growing aftermarket for customization.
But you'll get dirty looks from people who ride discontinued Suzukis. Boohoo.

Pleb taste right there.
The firing order used is what they call twin pulse. It is just like 2 L twin engines firing with 70 degrees interval among each other. Ducati has been using this in motogp for years.
Also, it makes 210hp, much more than the superquadro.

>>17848701
What you need is a properly made exhaust, to make the correct ding - ding 2 stroke sound. Gialelli or Pollini

I bought an R1 today and, like a pleb, didn't check to see if the signals work. Spoiler: [spoiler]they don't[/spoiler]. I think it's supposed to be an integrated taillight and flush mount side signals. How hard is it to track down and fix?

Took a fucking rip today on my Austrian made KTM 500 exc.
I was swerving in and out of traffic with no concern whatsoever for public safety, when I saw a group of anime loving sport tourers.
A couple had weeb decals on their bikes. Anyway. I rode with them for a couple miles till I got bored of going 10 under the limit. I started my downshifting, preparing for this massive onslaught that was about to occur.
Bang. Pop. Furious left lane boost.
Schip, schip, Shoosh. Passed the anime fags. As I passed the leader I noticed a decal on his tank. It read "/dbt"
This was the OP. I brake check the entire pansy brigade to a slow roll.
Than dismounted and let my ktm ghost into a tree. I bent that faggot over his weebshit bike and fucked him as he cried out "no, in gonna miss the shout like goku at the hurricane event, HELP!"
After I finished I pushed his bike over and he thanked me for it.
I picked up my Austrian Oak power and zipped into the treeline like a phantom.

2-strokes are shit in every way except weight.

They do not weigh the same. The kawi is 20lbs heavier and makes 7hp less.

>>17849340
I don't get why you're trying to sell me another bike when I told you already that I considered it and liked another bike better and chose that

but you made me recheck and you're right, the FZ is lighter, but not 20lbs, it's only 9lbs lighter, 403 vs 412
and I still paid way less for the z650 than I'd have for the fz07

My first day of real riding went pretty well. It was on a Z300, didn't make any major fuck ups. The instructors we had were really good.
Most of the people I did my course with had ridden dirt bikes or scooters before (me included), but even the one guy that had never touched a motorbike before did okay.

His only issue was that every time he made a right hand turn onto a different street (Australian), he would swing to the far left of the lane instead of waiting on the right side of the lane. Looked pretty stupid.

In general terms, Kawasaki bikes are designed to be run flat out then explode. Great visceral fun until then, but it's no Honda or reassembled Suzuki.

Rode the FZ-07 at demo day, I loved it. I'd need more time to get used to the riding position and handling but damn is that a step up from the DR350 I've been riding. Torque everywhere. The shifter lever felt too short though, it was hard to stick my boot under it and I was just wearing hiking boots. And I'd definitely replace the clutch lever. Both levers felt like a bit of a stretch to reach desu. Riding in tucked position felt really good too, I was able to whack open the throttle a few times. The exhaust sound is perfect on this bike too. Stock is quiet but still has a growly tone.

I also sat on an R6 in the showroom, I've never sat on a sportbike before but I never realized how wide they actually are. The wonky ass riding position really threw me off, that'd take a while to get used to. Still want to test ride one though, I'm sure it's fun.

The price of customization builds up fast and you might want to know or be a good machinist to do things like relocate the stock speedo or get things to fit at all.

In the US, the age of consent is 18 but every other state sets it to 16 with or without conditions. In mine, there are no conditions. Grass on the field play ball. USA USA!

yes it will emit a useless fuckbrite spread of light all around you instead of a nice beam spread down the road where you actually need to see. Also it will blind everyone else around you so KYS if you use it on the road.

What about the villages and non-city areas though? Is underage really as stigmatized as it can be in the burgers? In NY we have a within 4 year age difference exemption for high schoolers which is what I am currently exploiting.

I tried a Cyclops LED bulb in a couple different housings. It would be OK if I was riding through the woods slowly at night so I could see whats right in front of me, but on the road it just isn't acceptable. Besides blinding people, it doesn't give any visibility more than like 50 feet in front of you.
For comparison, the stock DRZ headlight is better.

For that, you have to pay $2.84. I like the version that has the reamer and plug tool combined into one tool, it packs better. The screwdriver handle version packs even better. I've not found bike tires to be too hard to ream.

Skid deamon almost had me twice tonight lads. Once I hit a streak of gravel, second was going round a tighter than expected corner. I did the right thing at first, just committing harder to the turn but I scraped my foot and shat it. Had an epic wobble and almost went off the road.

protip: you're not going nearly as fast or leaning near as hard as you think you are. Since you don't have pics or vids of yourself you should have someone take one. You'll be surprised.

The headlight in that webm is spookingly terribad. I went to an abandoned airstrip last night and realized just how scary cornering in the dark can be. I had no idea what was coming up in the dark whether it was a 3 yard wide puddle or a nasty pothole.

>>17849895
Turning through a normal intersection at 25-30 while staying in your lane translates to leaning about as hard as those guys.

You'd think they'd pick up speed taking the same corner over and over and over again?

Invest in footpegs that have the thing sticking out at the bottom. You can see it in pic related. Newer bikes come with them stock like the R3. Along with the innovation of upward folding footpegs, pegs are pretty savvy nowadays. I once rode a bike with a downwards bent damaged peg at the MSF and it made the bike virtually unrideable.

very very very shit if you ever want to ride at night. Its merely an item to fulfill road registration.

When I bought my drz second hand it came with one, and whilst it did look nice, using the bike at night anywhere except well lit roads wasn't ideal.

I upgraded by moving back to the stock headlight, but swapped the (suprisingly heavy) glass and halogen headlight for an LED truck driving light (just ebay 6"x4" Cree LED Light)

This is much better than the stock DRZ headlight, however its a point beam rather than a scatter beam so overall its not perfect. doesnt have exceptional range or power but it does the job better than the stock lights.

just make sure you angle it correctly otherwise youre blinding oncoming traffic. I have mine set up properly and in the past 6 months ive been flashed maybe twice. I run it on high beam all the time too.

>>17849895

Took a rip today on my god-blessed Fucking Harley-Davidson motorcycle.
Freedom sang and independence roared with every twist of the throttle. Unfiltered glory, unmatched performance. I went on my rounds through town. Have a good head-turner route I been breaking in.
Counted 17 head turns today. I think I can get 20 tho tomorrow. Saw a bunch of faggot ass sport tourers too. Riding face down and ass up like a woman. I feel bad for them an their shitty crackerjack bikes.

>>17849960
I bought mine for the looks, if the light is going to be useless and shit anyways I want to to be cheap and look nice.
My stock assembly that looks like it's from the 80's got destroyed and an OEM replacement is like $400 new or $100+ used.

Took a rip on my Harley today.
Ran a red light to get into a pack of sport touring faggot boys.
I would speed up and slow down to mess with them.
It was slightly jarring that literally heir assholes were aimed at me. Don't understand why they would assume a doggy style Position and ride around a plastic toy all day long.
Passed those faggots tho.

I don't have a scoot I just sat on this today and suddenly realized why people own them. I'm 30 and have 2 other bikes. I'm genuinely interested.
