Whichever has the better welds is apparently the only thing that matters around here.

>>28511204
but anon that would be a downgrade from my "dressed up dr350" sumo, i could get the beta alp (the enduro version) if i really wanted a dual sport for less than the tw200!
i just wanted to go try enduro and not damage a personal bike to do it :C

I am only a level 2 weeb so I don't watch anime. But I would probably watch one if it was motorcycle focused.

>>28511233
As in: you want a FI japanese sumo/DS and you can't find them so you are searching for betas as a second choice?

They are a niche italian mx/enduro brand, these "older" (mine is from 2011) motorcycles where made with suzuki dr350 carbed engines until the most recent version (beta alp 4.0 2024/ beta X. picrel is the new alp) where they got chinese liquid cooled engines to keep price down and pass emission laws.
mine (beta M4) was the sumo variant of the old alp 4.0, i got mine in italy and got it here near belgium by van in spring and gonna ride it down to italy for summer

>Unobtainium in Europe. I'd be willing to pay twice the US MSRP for one. We (used to) have the TW125 but it's not the same.
To be fair you can even find the vanvan/tw200 equivalent: the beta urban/alp 200 has aircooled 200cc engines and the big tire, just drive down to italy for a little vacation in a van and buy a used one for cheap on the way back!

>>28511259
Bakuon and supercub is all we got for now. It's not like initial D if you're coming from low level weebdon. It focuses more on the culture behind riding and not so much riding technique or engine modification.

It's the no-spark-plug patrol.

I want to buy one of the triumph modern classic bikes. The best looking to me by far is the t120. Most of my riding will be on road, I'd say 90% or maybe even more, but I really want something that can handle some occasional off road stuff too, moreso than just basic dirt roads etc, but not quite as far as wading through knee high water and taking it off jumps and over logs etc. The obvious solution would be to pick the Scrambler 1200 xe, but to me it just looks a bit too lanky, like they put a t120 on stilts. It looks kinda silly to me, like a monster truck. The next obvious choice then would be the Scrambler 1200 x, but I feel like that's so far from the xe and so close to a t120 that it's almost not worth it, plus there are a lot of things that the t120 has going for it over the 1200 x like cruise control, heated grips, higher quality parts and better looking clocks. I'm wondering, if I put a sump guard and some more off-road oriented tires on a t120, would that basically make it almost as off-road capable as the scrambler 1200x, which is already a fairly substantial downgrade from the 1200 xe anyway? Or is it still pretty useless off road, and the 1200 x is significantly better? Thoughts?

>>28511515
The spark plugs are on top, that's a 2 smoke.

Never cheap out on tires.
NEVER.
Get the stickiest shit made for your tire size.
The only thing keeping you alive is traction.
Thats it.

ANY set of tires that are worth a shit are going to run 400 bucks a pair.
>sir here's the keys to the Ferrari for your track day, are you sure you dont want to pay $50 extra for 100% coverage insurance with zero deductible?

>>28511517
You'll never mach the off road performance of the 1200 with a t120 unless you changed the suspension and added a 21" front wheel . You might as well get the 1200

>>28511557
Nobike advice
You want the longest lasting tires that will keep up with YOUR level of required traction

>>28511517
I can't speak to Triumph's scramblers aside from how much that 1200 xe looks like a mirrored reflextion of the old beautiful tr6c. I would personally not ride a bike as nice looking as either of those triumphs on gravel/hard pack here without a skid plate, hand guards, and engine guards wide enough to keep everything but the bars off the rocks in a wipeout. And with 500lbs, you're really not going to want pick that bitch up often, so you're most likely going to baby it on the dirt anyway.

It's amazing to me that so many 'riding gloves' didn't have proper palm sliders. Like they are just selling you a fashion accessory and couldn't care less about safety.

Bullshit.
You want every advantage on you side, INCLUDING any aspect that gives you an edge, ESPECIALLY if you lack experience.
Riding on the limit of your bike's capabilities and then finding yourself in a situation where you need slightly more (and theres nothing left) is when people fucking die.

Tires are The Most Important Component on a bike.
Period.

NTA, but I disagree with your take bro.

I understand the importance of not going cheap on tires, and I agree to an extent, but your perspective seems focused entirely on boy racing like a fag.

Me personally I commute daily and for that kind of use buying high end track-oriented tires isn’t just unnecessary, it’s a waste of money dude. They’ll never be used to their full potential and will wear out faster without offering any real benefit in my situation.

Paying extra for peak grip that won’t ever be needed isn’t good value. It’s not about cutting corners, it’s about using the right tool for the job.

A set of Pirelli Rossos costs more than a set of Road 6s and lasts less than half as long. You bet I’ll keep investing my money in the rubber that gives me the best value.

Amen.

LOL yea you don't ride, pro tip, if you wanna larp as a real biker don't ever compare nu-liters to real race replicas.

finally put my GS down in some dirt. not bad at all, broke the front left signal and scraped it up, bars are slightly bent.

i have replacement signals because they are cheap anyway, but im still deciding on what bars to get to replace what i have.

was pretty impressed with the shinkos since they are primarily for the street, and it was a relatively technical ride, my first real trail ride that wasnt a mostly straight dirt road. dumbest part is after all the technical stuff i went down on a totally normal turn near the end of our ride. -.-

Good bye, shitty non-sun-resistant brake reservoir. I've already replaced this once, now the whole master goes.
It's a shitty size, too. 14mm

Yea except they barely put down 600cc numbers and you're comparing them to a 750 with race replica power density. Just admit you can't ride and have never turned a wrench, this shit goes by much easier.

>>28511257
Are you complaining about it having great brakes?

>>28511760
Thing about moto-america, is that new bikes/manufacturers get two years of no limits, after which their individual rules are tuned in the name of "competition" If Yamaha is to dominant this year they might not even get their second free year.
So trying to compare is useless.

She's a bitch.
And she kills.

You're arguing "under normal conditions, this is all you need"....while discussing the vehicle with the highest fatality rate per capita of anything available to civilians. We're seriously in the realm of "higher fatality rate than home-made airplanes".
Telling people "you dont NEED anything more" is dangerous and irresponsible.
Ontop of that your Europeon brainwashing to believe efficiency is the most important aspect of your life and trumps safety exudes from every post and is actually sad that thats what you've been relegated to.

Angel GT 2s are basically Pirelli's version of the Road 6, let's get that out of the way first.
>>28511790
Dunlop is fine. I run Q5s on my playbike and Roadsmart 4s on my commuter streetbike that plays in the mountains. It's on you, the rider, to realize that you cannot treat the tires the same and maybe just, I dunno, NOT go 100% balls to the wall on the street? The Angel GT2/Road6 is probably the best type of tire if you really wanna push on the street, they're sticky enough on the sides, but one tier below them isn't exactly playing with fire.

>>28511796
Its not about going 100% like its track day when youre making a store run.
Its about cagies TRYING TO KILL YOU every moment youre on the asphalt.
Defensive riding means split second decisions where you need every advantage.
This is about DEATH and how to avoid becoming a red smear on the pavement.

>>28511804
A death good enough for T.E. Lawrence is good enough for me

>>28511804
Any weaving/evading that you're doing likely is well within a more average/mileage focused tire's grip. You're not trailbraking insanely hard while tipping the bike in, nor are you ripping on the throttle hard out of an apex as an evasive maneuver. If you wanna make an actual investment in safety, buy a neon green helite and keep a good following distance.

post mobile wrench loadout

>>28511902
Very little. I kept a socket/ratchet for my rear wheel nut and some small wrenches in the sizes I needed to adjust chain tension. A small adjustable wrench. Tire plug kit/inflator with a battery tender adapter. Allen wrenches, as that's mostly what my bike uses. A pair of vice grips. Most importantly, a credit card if I needed to buy tools or parts.

>>28511907
so....you rode out on the same tires for 20,000 miles? do you carry tire replacment shit with you?

>>28511911
I paid shops for tires as I didn't want to get stuck trying to seat a bead with only my emergency inflator pump. I rented shop space for an hour to change oil thrice. I took off and repaired my shift lever, kickstand, and turn signals once when I was riding like a retard and haddalayerdown gently.

>>28511920
>. I rented shop space for an hour to change oil thrice.
Just goes to show the importance of a flat concrete pad to maintain and clean your motorcycle.

>>28511921
You type and thus presumably talk and think like a retard, so here's some help: You should have gotten a cheap motel room days ago. Rush order on Amazog a cheap set of chain adjuster blocks and a new chain guide, pretty much all the japanese brands use the same mounting bolt setup. Go to a hardware store and get some loctite and find your missing bolts. I also had to do this when I lost a heel guard bolt.
>>28511929
I said "on the road" and not "in the field" for a reason. If the bike had tubed tires, I would have considered bringing irons and tubes and doing the tires myself at gas stations where I could abuse their air compressor. Don't wreck your shit in the middle of nowhere with no backup plan. A fully kitted out crf450l like that is not a cheap bike, thus shooms must have a decent income, thus shooms should have been smart enough to have a satphone or beacon of some kind, a good toolkit, and the sense to have some contingency plans.

>>28511811

Ya sure.
Because accidents are predictable and within moderate speeds without any obstacles.....

I hope you have a minor event that proves first hand how wrong you are before you get in a serious situation that there's no coming back from just because your equipment wasn't at its full potential.

I currently have the Scorpion EXO SGS MK II Gloves and the LS2 Swift gloves. Both are really good. I went down at about 40mph in the scorpions and they did their job great. They are still in good shape but I'm looking to replace them. The LS2 are higher quality than the scorpion but they are warmer so I don't wear them in summer. I've also had cortech gloves but they are least quality and had cheapo leather so I got rid of them. Sizing on gloves is all over the fucking place too.

She was 15, I was 17. The year was 2006. We were sitting in the garden beside a buddleia bush, and European peacock butterflies kept landing on us.
In the spring of the following year, she broke my heart. But relatively quickly, before the end of summer, I found happiness with someone with whom I’ve been living sweetly to this day.
As for her, I don’t think she ever found happiness in love. We’re no longer in touch. She’s an intelligent woman, a Doctor of Philosophy, and still beautiful, though not as beautiful as my sweeter half.
At the time, I had a clapped-out MZ ETS 125.

It can't be long now

KLX300 bros, just did the first oil+filter change, KDX snorkel and secondary throttle plate delete. Had 750 miles on the clock, oil had a good amount of silver flake to it. Would recommend not delaying the first change.
The bigger snorkel and removing the STP woke that bitch up. Sounds way less pussy now, much better torque down low.

>>28511858
The KLX300R manual is more detailed, just about the same bike.

There's issues and maintenance, and there's problems.
Shooms is clearly experiencing a problem. Unless he can widdle some sticks into a new rear axle he needs to wait on parts.

I want to get the tracer 9 gt plus but yamaha only has the base model for 2025 in USA. Bit of a shame. I even went up to laconia to test ride it but yamaha, BMW and and kawasaki pulled out. Only indian and harley was there and their bikes are kinda gay. Idk what yamaha is doing.

>>28511787
R6 is faster than R9, simple as

>>28511737
>>28511757
Master and brake line replaced, and stuck caliper slider unstuck.
The extra leverage from the smaller master cylinder is helpful, but it's still a single disk from the 1980's, so still mid.

>>28511757
doggo liked the tire lol

>>28512126
Damn, that's concerning. I did mine at 570 and didn't see any silver. I'm torn about the STP, seen a ton of people say they ended up putting it back on.

>>28512171
I do get a sweet adjustable lever out of it tho

>>28511957
>BRO YOU GOTTA BUY A DIABLO ROSSO OR YOU'LL INSTANTLY LOWSIDE WHEN YOU TURN THE BIKE HARD

>>28512183
STP prevents intake flow stall when opening quick at low revs. But the deeper noise makes it *feel* stronger down low.

>>28512192
The 300R doesn’t have stp tho

>>28512192
>STP prevents intake flow stall when opening quick at low revs.
What qualifications or test data do you have to make these claims? you know since measuring the speed of intake air is a fairly complex task.

>>28512202
It's passive, right? That's why passive extra throttle plates have been used dating back to the 1930's, maybe before. This is nothing new.

>>28512219
But >>28512199

redpill me on an FZ10 as a second bike

>>28512224
But but but
You put it there for a reason, a few years development and maybe are handling their problem in a different way. Or maybe they think with all the people removing the plate that nobody gives a fuck about low end torque.

1982 GS450E. My dad bought it new in 1984 and left it to me when he passed. I've been riding it since then, sometimes as a daily.
Except for the times that some part is literally melting from age

>>28512265
I might be willing to put this off until next summer and do that during my leave period. Could be a fun idea

>>28512259
I guarantee there's a ride now that sells Honda's and suzukis

>>28512229
Well it’s just odd because you’d think the low end torque would be so much more important on a dedicated trail bike than the commuter/dual sport one. I agree they are typically there to regulate velocity but that’s usually higher performance engines. This is a fuckin turd we’re talking about just to be clear so I think it’s probably more aimed at taming the throttle than anything else.
Some guys dynoed and seems to bear that out

>>28512274
Perhaps it tames the throttle by preventing intake air stalls at low RPM. Or perhaps it solves some other problem for the manufacturer.

New wheel: installed, no longer do I have to carry a tire inflator around with me.

>>28512277
Hey descendant...

if the bolt sheared it wouldn't be because it was seized, so with a left hand drill bit it should come right out. Or if you can grab any part of it it should come out. If it cracked the block I guess you're into JB weld.
Or you could just add a glob of extra sealant on that part of the pan gasket when you put it back together.

going to local motorcycle gear shop tomorrow. kinda want a more casual riding jacket/sweater

what's the best option? I'd still use my heavier jacket for highway riding, but for lower speed stuff I just want something light, comfy, with some amount of abrasion resistance

>>28512277
The oil pan is just bolted straight on the bottom, right? You have a couple options:
>Bolt extractor set
Left handed drill bits and extractors. Purpose built for this. Probably the best option
>Nub sticking out
Cut a flathead slot into it with a Dremel. Put a bunch of rags and shit all around the crank to catch any debris.

>>28511174 (OP)
Have you'll n'wahs talked about the GSX-8TT?

>>28512307
>>28512339
>left hand drill bit
I think that's my best bet. I can't grab any part of it now, but maybe once I remove the oil pan I'll be able to get it.
I'm stocked up on JB weld so if I need to, I'll pull it out.

I'm just terrified that I'll fuck up the block.

Yamahaha stealing Suzuki's talents

I was thinking of trading my FZ10 for a used Ducati streetfighter V4.
They're asking about $19k for it.
But as I was riding the FZ I realized there is too much traffic even for my 130HP bike...
I find myself cruising on my slow Harley more and more these days.
I couldn't even get my FZ out of 4th gear on the interstate.

I know I shouldn't take to strongly the weights of YouTube personalities, but I really enjoy my R18 Roctane. It's smooth when you need it to be, rowdy when you want it to be, and looks much better and more unique than most that you'd see on the road. I miss not checking into dbt for a few years.

6 months ago I asked you a question
Will you love a Yamaha R9 if it's faster than R6
You said it will never be faster than R6. I also asked you if you'll love it when it wins, you replied it will never win anything.
Here we are, 6 months later, the R9 won 6 races out of 8 in its first year.

>>28512586
Bro, it's NOT faster, you fucking retard.
The riders won the race in spite of the bike. "It's all about the rider" until suddenly it's convenient for it to be about the bike so you can justify being a goy slop lapping cuck.

Yamaha really could just put out any garbage and you would scramble to get any last dribble of your goy slop.

>>28512668
I'll need to tear it down first but this bike is very well documented and hard to engage 2nd and popping out of gear is pretty standard for early models which used a softer metal on the fork. Picture is an example of where it wears down and doesn't engage. Cheap part, hard to fix sort of problem and I'll have to hunt down to see if the revised part is even available still.

Yamaha knows their bikes are so bulletproof and reliable you can do everything by yourself and no one's gonna buy a manual anyway because Yamaha bikes don't break down.
