Pretty dope cooling fin configuration (ideal on paper anyways).

hmmm
it's rainy out.
I'm thinking it's a call into work and spend the day out in the shop kinda day.

There is a faggot ass mad about Suzukis. Stay mad ugly busrider.

kek. polaris on suicide watch.

Can you daily ride a new DRZ400 or does it need an oil change every 5 hours?

>>28514823
>touring bike
>12L tank

>>28514837
did the old drz400 need oil change every 5 hours? no? there's your answer.

>>28514771
why are some of the spokes fat

>>28514846
If you full send it into a trench and fuck up your wheel, you can straighten your rim out from those.
No joke.

Why does Yamaha is the most Kando having motorcycle brand?

>>28514840
>Suzuki's S stands for sexy Nihonas only.

>>28514826

Polaris was always doomed. What's happening now?

You may laugh at me now.

>>28514837
DRZ does not need a regular oil change, just re-cycle what is in the drip tray.

How can Suzuki possibly rebuild its reputation and finally surpass Yamaha in sales?

Why can't Suzuki win anything?

>>28514854
I want to say Skoal Bandit but I don't like cancer sticks.

Anyone use TUbliss? I'm pretty sure that in the course of changing my tire, I pinched the innertube and will have to replace it. But before I pull it off and try again, I wanted to make sure I wasn't making a bonehead mistake like not torquing the bead lock down enough to actually seal the tube

>>28514766 (OP)

>what happens if we put a 600 in a 400

posted in last thread but again to maybe get more answers:

guys, im planning on doing a little offroad trip on a 701 sumo with knobby tires, but 17 inchers.
so i got the sumo, like pic related, but knobby tires on it.

how shit of an idea is that? i know that people ride the routes im planning on on africa twins and GSes and teneres etc, but im not sure how bad it will be with the 17 inch front.
any experience with that?

>>28514889
It'll probably be extra tiring and holes/big rocks are going to suck more.

>>28514895
to be honest from what i expect it shouldnt be much worse than a little "worse" gravel roads, maybe a single trail for short whiles every now and then
i was riding a gravel road with supermoto tires and to be honest that fucking sucked, i dont know how much difference the knobbies make, or if the difference is mainly the larger front wheel

>>28514898
Oh I'm retarded. I skim-read your post and just saw the road tires.
If they're knobbies they'll be a lot better than the road tires.

But also, you could just get some 701 dirt wheels.

>>28514889
It'll be fine.

T7

>>28514900
>dirt wheels
Wouldnt wheels made out of some type of metal be better?

Does a 5-year-old tire have to be replaced, or not ? It only has 3000 km on it and looks fine

Would you rather have a simple bike or crazy powerful bike?

>>28514906
T7

>>28514932
Do you need to be Joey Dunlop every day?

>>28514900
pic related, i bought those.
the tires themselves are good, im just not sure how much the less-stable 17 incher at the front will impact my riding

>>28514849
So just flat spot instead of taco because its up-armored every 90 degrees?!
Interesting concept.

>>28514932
i had
>kawa er6n
>duc 1198s
>superduke 990r
>honda XL600
>husqvarna sumo 701
and the least fun i had on the 1198s, most fun on all the others (especially the 990r and 701)

so yeah i would probably always choose a bike that i can utilize more in daily riding than some rocket from which i barely use half the potential of, its more fun to ride a slow bike fast than to ride a fast bike slow

also really depends on where you are, what roads you have etc.

>>28514930
Garaged in San Diego or left in a shed in arizona?

>>28514947
>its more fun to ride a slow bike fast than to ride a fast bike slow

Got the new footpges installed, might need to fuck with the brake pedal or get and extender since my foot's spaced out a little wider with these.

this new compound is not giving me any confidence at all bros. what the fuck happened to dunlop

>>28514964
maybe fuck around with the tire pressure a little?
or buy continental, which are the best tires for riding imo

>>28514947
I had car which sh1t itself. Bike out, panniers out parts were about a 20 min round trip.
No car fags will tell me bikes are stupid.

>>28514932
It depends on where the power is. I love bikes that have enough power and torque to be well behaved in traffic or highway cruising at low revs but can also activate goon mode in the higher revs. I mostly ride on public roads or twisty track so top end over ~130mph is irrelevant to me.

inb4 R7 I hate that bike for its ergonomics. I feel like a circus bear sitting on it.

>>28514944
You can make even a flat wheel somewhat round with those, as round as they came from the factory at least.

>>28514970
Perfect middleweight. All day highway comfy but can wind it on fast. Looks angry.

Shit that never happened for 500?

>>28514932
If I could go back in time I would probably stop myself from buying a liter and go for something less powerful instead. Liter bikes are cool, but the riding I do and the level of risk I'm prepared to assume doesn't justify owning it. Most of the time I'm out exploring backroads and small towns where you're barely getting it out of first anyway.
Echoing what other anons said, it's more fun to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow.

>>28514978
I had a V-Strom 650 and traded it for something with more power.

>>28514943
Nice tires, im thinking about picking these up.

>>28514964

11 year old bumps a biker as a joke for instagram. Ends up killing him and then posts it online and gets caught. The roads aren't safe for us bikers.

any of you guys run a camera every time you ride? looking for something cheap but decent enough, a bike equivalent of a dashcam basically. there's an unhinged karen who brake-checked me, then a week later swerved at me.

I'm about to really love or really have this decision.

>>28515001
Yeah, but be aware that cops will think you're going to run from them so they'll be extra aggressive

>>28515002
They're just good tires, Bront.

>>28514852
No laughing at me for being brown? That's new.

>>28514970
>cruising at low revs but can also activate goon mode in the higher revs.
There are only few bikes like this
Troon Speed Triple and something with a CP3

>>28515007
We respect everybody, except for Suzuki riders.

>>28515011
If you don't have haters, it means you're not trying.

>>28515011
Lol I'm the guy posting Suzuki shit and shitting on yammers. This is too funny.

>>28515009
no. the yam triple is lackluster down low and hits the limiter before it makes any serious power

>>28514865
Don't expect a tube type tire to have an air-sealing layer, and air pressure above the tube is going to eventually separate the tire plies if it doesn't. Are you using a tubeless or tube-type tire with TUbliss?

>>28515009

>>28515011

>>28515003
haha not on my old hoagie
what kind of camera do you recommend? i need like the most basic but reliable thing i can find, don't care about picture quality all that much

>>28514965
ill try that to see if it improves cornering lol

>>28514964
how on earth did you do that? looks almost like you were skidding it.

>>28515025
Tubed tire with tubliss. I know they leak over time, but the problem is as soon as I start putting air into the high pressure bladder, it leaks right put of the rim at the stem. I know I've had a similar peoblem before, but I believe that was just the low pressure side and it was because the high pressure bladder wasn't up to pressure. I just don't want to pull the new tire off for nothing if it's something silly

>>28515001
Most of the cheap Chinese action cams have a dash cam mode. There's an SJcam on Amazone for $30. I dug a hole in a waterproof case to stick the USB cable through, have had no water problems even in rain.
Set it for 1080P, the 4K mode is fake.

>>28514932
if you have a place to ride a supersport like a track or some reasonably safe twisties, that's my favorite. but gotta be like early 2000's bike before throttle-by-wire, tcs, abs, etc.
otherwise absolutely sub-100hp hooligan/supermoto/enduro

>>28515040
thanks bro i'll see about something like that, running usb power is brilliant because that's my main thing i don't wanna fuck with swapping the sd card all the time and charging the chinkshit batteries

>>28515040
yes I know that's a Gitup, they don't seem to exist anymore and I have the SJ cam on the other bike and the wife's car.

sticky throttle decided to almost kill me today, hit the limiter in 2nd gear in medium traffic, lucky i was on the clutch already. had to killswitch and push the bike to the side of the road. taking to mechanic tomorrow. fuck

>>28515050
Ride by wire or old-skool cable?

>>28515050
where's it sticking at? should be a stupid easy fix unless it's a sensor

>>28515002

Bruh your current tires are brand new

>>28515053

>>28515056
either it sticks very slightly and i can just blip the throttle to unstick it, or it goes crazy and pins at max throttle despite me only rolling on a bit. i took apart the housing and tube but couldnt find anything

My bike enthusiast life will never be complete without a sidecar rig
Every time I’ve ridden a Ural I’ve had a blast
I’ve tried the can-am three wheelers and they’re a lot of fun but at the end of the day I can’t get over the cvt and how ugly they are
I’m actually mid budget right now for a sidecar outfit, I wanted to work with freedom sidecar here in PA but he hasn’t answered my phone calls.
What would be the dream is if he (or someone else) could make me a sidecar that comes off relatively quickly so I could just attach it for the worst of winter or when my grandkids are over etc

>>28515038
trying to lean over but the tire is just not giving me enough confidence so i pretty much babied the tire all the way. managed to get to the waging farm, checked the tire and noticed the rubber

>>28515089
If that's rubber and not just mold release and your pressure is correct it's a warranty issue

I'm tired bros.

>>28514909

>>28515095
imagine submitting a warranty claim for a tire

>>28515106
It happens. Why would you think it doesn't happen?

>>28515106
are you high?
why not, theres something wrong if that rubber comes from the tire and not the road

>>28515106
What a weird thing to say.

>>28514964
I'm not even sure what the issue is.

>>28514964
Send that pic to consumeraffairs@dunlopmotorcycletires.com

>>28515053
Unpopular opinion but ride by wire is far less likely to stick

>>28515135
I think that's correct. With double-cable setups you can pull the throttle closed. With a single cable you must place your life with Allah.
I didn't think anyone did single-cable setups anymore. op's problem could be a broken/frayed close cable.

I have a really poor sense of general direction to the point where I struggle to get home if I take a wrong turn, I want to install a compass or something similar on my handlebars to help improve my general sense of direction and be more self reliant.
Do any anons here have recommendations or suggestions for a specific navigational device that provides a little bit of support? Battery operated devices need not apply

>>28515001
A lot of people seem to like INNOVV. I'm using a GoPro 13 on most rides right now. But I would like to get a dedicated front a rear dash cam system someday, so I don't have to think about it. Plus dash cam is more discreet, and I would set it up so it could still be recording for traffic stops.

>>28515266
And? She might actually be cool anon. You never know, it's not like she asked you to marry her.

>>28515251

>>28515218
Yeah fair enough, though my brake pedal was already bent inwards a little bit so I'm probably gonna at very least fix that. How have the pegs held up for you? What do you ride?

>>28515346
Or maybe the fact they wont kill all the grid off like pisschelin has been this season with their shit tyres that cant keep any tyre temp.

>>28515442
Last night when your mom was begging for it

It's time for some new tires. What do you guys think about getting white walls?

>>28515440
Yeah but standard is a wide category I used it as a sport bike. It's my sportiest bike.

From now on I will be a true UJM boomer I think because I always want to ride this instead.

I will miss track days but really I only ever did 1-2 a year anyway.

Rancid, underage post.

Hi. I'm not a rider but I always wanted to be. Recently spoke with my uncle who used to ride all the time ages ago, something I didn't actually know, and he has a Honda CL350 and and Honda CB750 sitting in a garage, both bikes that haven't run since 2000. He's offering me one for free, so long as I get it running myself. They both have all their parts and he recently tried to get the 750 running with no luck, but the guy isn't exactly mechanically inclined.

Which one should I grab? I'm moving out soon and need a daily, and as far as I know Honda's are great from a reliability perspective. As far as I know they both have most of their parts, toolkits, everything, he's the first owner for both. I have some experience with engines too. I'm really attracted to the 750 but I know it's a bigger bike and might be too much for me to bite off. Thanks for any advice.

>>28515515
>as far as I know Honda's are great from a reliability perspective
Pre 2000 Yes
Post 2000 No

>they're getting their bikes for free

>>28515515
750

>>28515515
A CB750 is a very manageable and pelasant bike. 750 sounds big, but the CB750 inline four has a very mild power curve that is easy to live with. They made an absolute shitload of them so parts are pretty easy to get and there is a lot of information and communities out there about them.

They're really quite easy to work on once you get familiar with them. The biggest challenge will be the four carbs. For a bike that's been sitting that long, that's the #1 place to start. They'll all need to be taken apart, cleaned, put back together, and then sync'd which requires a vacuum guage which you'll need to buy.

I went through all this with a 1983 CB750SC and I don't regret any of it. Had some great times with that machine before I sold it off for something more modern.

That would be my choice, although it would probably be easier to learn to ride and build confidence on the CL350 because as I said the 750 is a heavy pig.

>>28515515
Either or. The 350 is going to be easier to wrench on due to having half as many cylinders, but will be pretty slow by modern standards. The CB750 is going to be much more comfortable keeping up with traffic, assuming you can get it running and all 4 carbs synced up. Both are going to be a little scary for a noob because you're dealing with old suspension, old frames and drum brakes.

Alright I didn't expect so many responses. Guess I'll go with the 750 then, thanks! I have the next 4 months free besides a part-time, so I'll have plenty of time to smash my head against 4 carbs, wiring harnesses, so on and so on. Just hope it isn't a crappy color or REALLY rotted through, but a free bike is a free bike, right?

I know you just said it makes no sense as a question but now i'm actually curious
what would be the car equivalent of my beta m4? it's light but it's only 27hp (choked dr350 because it's euro 3 vs euro 0)
like an old golf or something?

The... twisties

I'm looking at a striple, but almost all of the used ones are R's. I was told that the RS was a much more premium trim, but they seem to be few and far between. Anyone have much experience with either? I wouldn't mind waiting for the right RS to show up if it's actually worth

who is this for?

if I want a KTM, I can go on Marketplace right now and get an 890 with 15k km for $11,000.

non KTM? used T7s hover around $10k CAD

>>28515639
It's for people with shorter legs and/or smaller frames.

>>28515639
>who is this for
It's for people that don't want or need the addtional power. At 70lbs lighter than an 890 with similar ergonomics, it's going to perform as well on the dirt anyway and be easier to pick up. If you're going to compare prices, compare used to used or new to new

>>28515640
They have the same seat hieght

>>28515594
Daddy chill.

>>28515639
>7k new
>380lbs at 40hp
New riders would be my first guess. If someone just wants to beat the everloving shit out of it and don't care much about riding far, they'll just get the enduro r instead.

>>28515654
The suspension will compress more with a rider on it, the narrower frame will make it easier to get feet on the ground even with the same seat height, and the lower weight will make it much easier for a smaller person to be comfortable on. Idk what's so hard to understand about this.

>>28515671
Honestly no, though I don't blame you for thinking so. Bajaj just made the enduro model the same bike as the adventure R but with minimalist fairings and fewer features. Its more of a trim than a seperate model at all, and all things xonsidered there's no good reason to get an enduro over the adventure R

>>28515679
>no trim, less weight
30lbs lighter, if the internet isn't full of shit, is significant for a dirt bike. I also don't want trim on my bike if I'm expecting to end up dick in the dirt at some point. I'd hoped they'd have at least put some metal handguards instead of plastic bullshit, but $7k is always going to be nickel and dime shit.

>>28515675
>what's so hard to understand
The fact that it can't be reconciled with reality. Suspension compression is dependent on your setting, they both have good WP suspensions and have similar travel. The difference in seat hieght with a rider is negligable (if you sit on both this becomes obvious) and the seat width is also about the same. Having ridden both, I'm telling you the difference is not in the ergos. If you were a rider that wanted a lighter bike and didn't care about power, the 390 would be a great option. It's definitely meant for the beginner market but it can also fill a niche other than that

>>28515687
If it really is 30lbs difference that's noticable. Last I saw it was basically the same weight because they had to hit the right PWR for euro and asia sales. If you're new to dirt then you're on the money in that less shit on the bike is better, because you're going to drop it and it's going to get beat the fuck up. For non-beginners, though, it doesn't seem all that worth it unless you want the look.

Electric vehicles are really practical if you live and work in a city and have a driveway you can charge them in. Just looking at zero, my everyday commute (1hr, 60 miles each way) is impossible for any of their models. Even if it was half as long, 60 miles, versus 110 mile range on their models, I’m thinking to myself
>110 on the highway claimed
>probably more like 90 miles when the weather is down in the 50s
>probably more like 70 miles when you remove the marketing enthusiasm
And suddenly it’s a very close call if I want to do anything besides go right to work and come right home.

>>28515542
>>28515707
This desu. I have nothing against EVs and I enjoyed test rising the Livewire when I did, but until they can make one with a ~150mile minimum range (at 70+ mph, with uphill grades) that can recharge to full in one hour it's not going to be able to replace any of my bikes.

If I commuted in town on a bike, it'd be totally different and I'd probably actually buy a Livewire. But I do mostly longer rides on the weekends and for that they aren't cutting it.

>>28515712
Ironically WFH killed my desire for an electric motorcycle. If I was still going in to an office tower with EV charge spots five days a week it would've been a straight upgrade over my pedal assist ebike, but now all my rides are discretionary.

>>28515542
Unless they improve battery tech they can't compete. They are slow and have shit range. Plus electric companies keep jacking up rates and governments keep building data centers. At least there are multiple petrol companies. I have 1 electric company. EVs don't make logical sense. They are just the newest shiny toy for idiots

>>28515712
It’s hard to compete with scooters too
One EV selling point is “don’t pay for gas” but if I’m scooting around town at 75mpg+ and fill up my three gallon tank once a month am I really thinking to myself “ha! 10 dollars saved! It pays for itself!”

>>28515542
including charge time, it'd take you a week to go the same distance I can go in 21 hours.

20 minutes till my shift ends and im shitting my pants so bad. Jesus help me

Was coming behind a cop today while lane splitting when the rider in front of me suddenly stopped lanesplitting and started sitting in traffic
I waited until he moved to the left side of the lane and split past him and gave him a little 2WD as I passed. When he saw me pass the cop he started following shortly after
It’s so funny whenever people get skeezed out by splitting past cops, it’s California bro we’re good just don’t blow his doors off haha

80% of the mass involved in a gasoline engine reaction is atmospheric oxygen. Batteries that can compete with that would have the energy+power density of high explosives. Hydrogen fuel cells are competitive on mass but not volumetric density. BEV cars just give up on competing at equal mass and pack in literal tons of batteries.

>>28515746

I live across the street from a bowling alley casino, I'm sick of smelling their burnouts and hearing their high pitch engines revvings. The FINAL STRAW was one was outside my house and I tried to be nice and say "nice bike" and he saw my bike (kawasaki klx) and said "nice girls bike". Fuckers.

I've never actually bothered to do the calculations and compare the fuel cost of my bikes before.

-KTM 125 Duke - 90mpg being generous - around £6 per gallon - £0.07 per mile

-Zero DS - averages somewhere around 10 miles per kWh - £0.26 per kWh - £0.026 per mile

I just recently crossed 10.6k miles on the Zero so it's cost me roughly £275 to do so (a little less because I've charged for free in some situations). The same distance on the Duke would have cost £742. With a difference in purchase price of around £5.5k I'd need to do 125k miles to break even, or 78k miles if I was always charging for free.

One of the things I do like however about riding an electric bike is being able to charge at home, not having to go out of my way to go to a petrol station. I wake up in the morning and go out to my bike and it's always full (if needed).

>>28515706

Absolutely key to the whole thing. I pity the fool who can't charge overnight. Apartment dwellers complain of this. They don't realize the power argument any apt tenant can make:

Dear Landlord,
If you let me charge my motorcycle for free in the garden with an extension cord to the laundry room, I will take it up the elevator every night and charge it in the hall or my apt and when the LITHIUMB battery EXPLODES in to a FIREBALL of FLAMING DETH it will all be YOUR FAULT.

I finally have a chance to bring a friend riding, but all my routes are hilly gravel or dirt roads. Nothing really fun, but most have a stretch steep enough that the rear can squirm a bit. I ride a dual sport with 60/40s, but the guy only rides street bikes. He hasn't riden loose surface before, and I don't know shit about street tires. Do I need to just find an only pavement route.instead?

And you of course are. You can't really compare country to country, and even if you're electricity is cheaper so is your gas so it's probably going to end up fairly similar.

>Absolutely key to the whole thing. I pity the fool who can't charge overnight. Apartment dwellers complain of this
I may actually have to move at some point (pops died and tenancy is looking like it will automatically transfer to mum who doesn't live here because she's in a dementia ward, and there's a limit of one transfer so when she goes I'd be kicked out). So far all I'm really eligible for is 1 bedroom apartments (what we call flats) and many are second floor or higher so I'd be hanging an extension cord out the window.
