>dropped it once but it wasnt during the ride test. i went out of bounds oe time too many, that's why i failed. fucking u turns

I knew it, the only way you can fail MSF/CBT is dropping the bike.

>>17854410
No I'm thinking of starting a new project

>>17854407
I weigh 165, I could lose a few pounds but that doesn't mean a cx500 isn't pigfat from the factory. Those t cell batteries are heavy

>>17854417
>>17854400
The u-turn box is the worst. Turning was the best part.

Is there any sort of standard for early ECU instruments? Recent stuff is CAN bus (or if you're extra lucky, has a standard OBD port), old stuff is direct cable drive but in between.. you get a single mystery SPEED SENSOR wire to the speedo and mystery single wire from the ECU to the tachometer.
Is there any sort of 'standard' communication method (e.g. PWM, pulse-timing, raw proportional-voltage/current etc), or is it a case of everyone doing their own thing and just having to bite the bullet and stick a 'scope on the line with the bike running and seeing what you get?

>>17854431
you fucker i literally did not fail because of dropping the bike, i dropped the bike HOURS before the actual test. i failed because i went out of bounds in the cones too many times.

i lost no points because of the completely unrelated drop that occurred two hours before the test. i lost points because i was not proficient with u turns.

anyway, you only fail from dropping if you drop DURING the final test, or if you drop the bike twice during normal training.

>>17854472
I never said you dropped the bike, that was another anon.

>>17854510
Yeah, I took it before I got my first bike. The instructor was like the cool science teacher type, real chill. I was super stressed about the test, but I think I scored top out of the 5 or so people there. I was the youngest by at least 15 years. Only went outside the lines in the u-turn box, no foot down though.

i want my heart to be pounding

>>17854551
Pretty sure it's a point based system, and foot down is a full fail for u-turns.

And yesno. I think it was similar size to the parallel lines in pic, but also used cones for boundaries and enter/exit.

>>17854913
>cease your bullying you cunt
n-no u

And yeah, you're right honestly. It's a good bike for what it is. I wouldn't want one here because Arizona is basically mad max. People are going 75-80 during rush hour, and faster when the highways are empty. I'd be scared of riding a 250/300 here personally, unless I avoided the highways entirely.

I'd guess he doesn't like it because it's not as balls out insane as the Panigale. I mean it's not meant to be though. It's also like 4k cheaper than the 959, and 13k cheaper than a 1299.

If all you want is to go fast you can just get a literbike, which I completely understand, that just isn't what I'm looking for.

And I gues some people dont like how it looks because they have poor taste.

Can confirm

Phoenix freeways are 80mph in 55 mph zones and 95 in 75s.

I had a rebel and was perfectly content with it in fort collins colorado. Then work moved me to Phoenix and even a 500cc cruiser wasn't enough.

I need a new bike. Mine is up to 85k now, double the highest currently for sale and I'm really not sure how to sell it, currently it also has a list of issues, forks leaking, starter makes a terrible noise in the cold, would it be possible to sell this off to a new rider or should I fix everything first?

>>17856570

yes. dbt is full of people who bought bikes like the one you describe.

>>17856570

Or sell it cheap

I'd at least fix the fork seals, they're like $20

>>17856570

what bike is this and how do you expect selling it to make any kind of dent in a purchase? Sounds like you're going to be asking $750 and getting $500

>>17855477
>would there be much reason to go for the former
They're not intended to do the same thing. I'd have to sit on a Pani and see, but I mean I commute on my bike everyday, and I've heard the Pani is a spine breaker. Also the exhaust melts your dick, especially in Arizonan weather.

And damn, I'm pretty sure the S and the 959 still have like ~2k difference where I am. I'd get the standard supersport thought personally. Maybe with the optioned quickshifter.

>>17856220
>Phoenix highways are truly a shitfest.
They're so badly designed too. I forgot how bad it is in the middle of Phoenix, I'm normally only ever in Mesa or Tempe. It's a fucking mess.

Maybe a bigger truck would take up garage space that could be used on more bikes?

Why buy a truck that's bigger than what you need? Do you have a 2 1/2" drive impact wrench just in case you have to dissasemble a fucking cargo ship?

Lurker here, I am going to buy a 70-80 Honda CB (looking for 750, but 450 at the least). I want a project that I can fix up in the typical cafe style and learn to ride on. I realise that this is a bad idea.

They do light offroadan on the beach and on trails, it's very common.
Then there is "mudding" which is a big trend here... It's gay.
Then there is real offroading which isn't big here on the east coast, more out in the south west.

Yeah nah, fairing lowers are good for winter riding.

Half fairings are good in theory but most of them are fucking useless, they have tiny coverage and non adjustable screens.

>>17857566
in my experience every fault a KTM has is because of the dealer fucking something on the bike.

take my 450exc-r for an example, to keep the warranty the dealer had to do the first service, now i have no idea why they took it off in the first place but they removed the breather hose and left it off, next ride it sucked in a nice amount of dirt and was totaled.
the dealer then had the cheek to say a stick knocked it off to which my reply was go pull the breather hose off that bike on the show room floor which he could not do so i walked out with a new engine.

still what a fuck around.

That's not how you take a tool pic homie.

How far would you go for an old bike?

I found this beauty for sale at $1000 dollars, but it looks like it's but dropped at least once (from the look of the scratches at low speeds), the fuel tank has been patched, and the seat has a hole. The guy selling it was also kind of awkward (red flag?).

I'm not afraid of mechanical work but I don't want to spend every waking day working on my bike.

What bike?

Are there any how-to guides out there for rebuilding a DR650 motor? Mine's lying in pieces in my garage and I haven't touched it in so long I've forgotten how a lot of the pieces go back together. The transmission is completely apart because I had to replace 3rd and 5th, as is the head because the cam was fucked.
