>haven’t gone on a proper ride since Saturday
Losing my mind bros, if I get stood up for this Saturday too I’m just gonna ride my bike north as far as it’ll go

>>28520486
Is this the bike hat BMW poached to make the G310 series?

>>28520476
Yeah the stacked LEDs from the 1000GT and the GSX-8 platform are pretty neat, but so are integrated turn signals. Maybe it'd be possible to get aftermarket integrated mirrors+signals.

>>28520502
No it's a modified G310R.

>>28520491
LMAO

Post your last ride/cruise. Had a nice chill one myself on my day off. Where you been riding?

>>28520496
>Has AI gone too far?

>>28520502
Co-developed with TVS. BMW has not gotten lazy enough to let some jeet company to do the work. Anyways, BMW did release a G310RR which is just changing the badge.

>>28520508
>No it's a modified G310R.
This is true.

>>28520478 (OP)
Motorcycle endurance racing is mental. Can't imagine hustling around a track at race pace after basically no sleep all day.

IDK, weight reduction, smaller exhaust? Its not even that light. I know one of the engineers, I'll ask him next time I meet him.

>>28520533
Thats shitty and you should never post this again

But also my neighbour was first responder to a crash that happened 2 mins before he arrive to intersection, apparently was on the news the other week in edmpnton it was that bad
Guess buddy went full yeet into the front end of a van while van was turning, unknown speed afaik, his wrist asploded on right with full fold hand, elbow reverse suplex on opposite arm, leg bone make expose, eyes in back of heqd, and retard kept fighting others trying to stand

All while my buddy struggles for his learner written exam (damn questions confusing him from the boomer timeline of safety), he witnesses a career ending crash
He still wants to ride
And the guy that crashes, if he rides again, is a sickcunt regardless
He gets a HOWVE YOUVE BEEN from me bevause he literally exploded his limbs and still try to fight societal jannoids from reacue him, talk about being based to the bitter end

>>28520541
Saw it on my feed and it hit me on the feels because it's a reminder of what can happen.

>>28520519
its been a month exactly. planning another touring day

>>28520502
If you didn't know TVS was formerly TVS-Suzuki.

Buddy ran the Baja 500 on a Yamaha 450.
Dude was an animal on the dirt. The Earth just spoke to him and they became one.
Its definitely something youre either wired for or youre not (im not).
He finished 14th in his class for those that missed it before.

What color/tint sunglasses should I get? I got a clear visor.

I dont thing the white sheet is to keep people from seeing the oil & coolant spill

>>28520590
I miss San Diego but last couple times I visited it was like Tijuana Norte.
Graffiti and trash everywhere.
So sad considering San Diego"s motto was "America's cleanest city" when I was young.

>>28520591
But the white sheet is over a different bike in the picture

Vtwims make the right torques at low rpm, not all up high. They make the right sounds and there are no more vtwin bikes in prod and the bike was the last of its kind. 10s of i4s SS to choose from but VTwin biak, from Honda that has good looks, its the one.

All jokes aside and in no particular order, they're chrysocolla, a weird form of pyrite with a lump of something else in it(not hematite), and high sulfide sodalite (aka yooperlite) which causes it to glow in the early morning light/under a black light.
Picrel is a ball of russian fluorescent sodalite that seemingly everyone in the UP sells as "yooperlite". It's cheaper to import russian rocks and sells them as a local attraction than it is to find the damn things locally. The broken lump pictured earlier was the mission goal for my last expedition to the UP. I had to go find the damn thing myself.
I still have to plan a trip down to TN to look for river geodes. I simply can't trust any of the ebay sellers not to sell me chinese geodes.
I am not autistic.

>>28520664
We have a solution for that which doesn’t make you look like a tranny, it’s called high vis yellow, it’s meant to be highly visible.

>>28520699
yellow high vis is not a good look. women will not compliment you on yellow high vis like they will on my pink helmet and purple/pink bike

>>28520687
Thank you :)

>>28520701
It is a good look and women love it

>>28520755
nah, look at all the biker vids on youtube with girls with them. No one runs yellow vis

>>28520701
>purple/pink bike
Wow sounds cool, my bikes blue but turns purple when it's night time. Wanna see it? Can I see yours?

muh clibbins

>>28520773
Nice try, you just want to bully me like the others.

>>28520769
Your evidence of absence is the absence of evidence?
Hardly anyone wears high vis yellow, you’d expect it to be rare in the first place, then the type of person to wear high vis yellow and the type of person to post YouTube videos of themselves with women contains very little overlap. Trust me, I am a certified sex haver

>>28520782
Not me, I'm fren.

>>28520755
Can confirm. I always get propositioned by prime virgin pussy when in my hi-vis. What really send the ladies wild is my stained up washed out navy-ish tee shirt with a fat hairy gut hanging underneath it and gray open-hem joggers with a piss stained crotch. All you need to seal the deal is a white flip-top lid.

>>28520651
That is very true however some things to consider between those 2
>929 has 20 more hp and 6 more lb tq
>929 weighs a whole 55 pounds less (wet weights)
>lower mpg range (not something igaf bout but still)
>smaller trunk on the RC
>longer wheel base than the 929
>10k rpm redline (rc51) vs 11.5k rpm redline (929)

You are right about the powerband differences, definitely something to consider. I own a VFR right now so idk which path to take

>>28520553
>>28520687
>Heh. What's in those panniers, anon? rocks?
>>Technically, they're minerals.
I just find the thought of a crash ending with more gravel than it began, fairly amusing.

Any input on adv helmets?
what about vintage looking ones?

I have a modular rn because it's easier to put on with glasses and it's nice to have if i just want to stop and drink some water but i see i never actually use the modular part of it as if i stop i just remove it and if i'm hot i just open the visor slightly to get some fresh air quickly.
So i guess i probably have a noisy type of helmet, those other two styles can't be worse than that and they will probably be lighter too since they lack the latching mechanism, right?
Not looking for an immediate buy just wanted to know what other anons have experienced, i also probably have a never used arai MX helmet i can take as a hand-me-down for free (in a nice white/magenta/cyan color scheme since i saw it's being discussed), but i guess that's more for wannabe hooligans or serious offroad more than confort.

>>28520801
>white/magenta/cyan
A tranny flag helmet. Whats your ride, a transalp?

>watch a couple of bike vids, youtube recommends a million yammie noob vids

Who watches yammie slapheads shite?

Thoughts on my bike? And yes I did paint back on the branding myself after i got it custom painted and then crashed a few times over the course of about a year now.

>>28520840
Ah yes, the Ripening banana colorway.

>>28520840
AI is getting a lot better about the little details

>>28520863
What makes you think it's AI?

>>28520825
Anon you understand the concept of "hand-me-down" right? it's not my helmet and i can't decide the color, it fits and it's free i'm not gonna worry about something else apart from it being a good one or a bad one.

>>28520864
Nta but it looks like ai sloppa. Not one can or bottle has a proper label etc

>>28520801
I've been using an HJC V60 which might be the stylings you're looking for. I really like it but it's also the only real helmet I've ever owned. Not sure if it's an actual adv helmet so sorry if I'm wasting your time.

>>28520839
I dislike noob quite a bit, but there are worse moto yters to fill your feed. I don't think I've watched one of his vids since before I bought my first bike.

>>28520864
Look at the brake disc.

>>28520874
No worries anon i apreciate the answer as that's actually one of the ones i really like.
Also i may have phrased it weirdly but it was asking for EITHER vintage looking "adventure" helmets or proper "modern" adventure helmets ïnfo.
Is it very noisy? i assume without a full visor it's like riding around with an MX helmet (not that i ever did that) but i guess at least it's very fresh?

Well 200 bucks and I have new TUbliss front and rear. It's really quite a breeze to install, I'm surprised people say it's a pain. Mousse tubes seem way worse to get on and off

last fucking time i share my bike on here, assholes

any /wa/s out today? heading north towards the border, gonna cross east->west across steven pass, leaving from tricities in about 30 or something

>>28520900
I just finished getting my new tires on
>>28520895
In the auburn area. Alittle too short notice to get out that far for me but a ride sounds cool sometime

>>28520543
I got mine up to 157 but I highly doubt it’s accurate

>>28520912
ah right we were talking a few weeks ago I think

still waiting on my god damn tires, I should start doing the swaps myself too ("free swap if you buy tires from us") ordered them tuesday, called today to check on where they are and he said they dont even have a tracker yet it hasn't left the distribution whatever. and Id be lucky to have them by saturday but probably tuesday.

crazy, but my current tires ought to be good for a while longer anyway.

>>28520916
>157
a based speedy reading in any case anon

>>28520864
>>28520870
>>28520887
In additional the general look of it, it's too perfectly and uniformly dirty. It's like a dry brushed scale model. There's no variance to the dirt, more in some areas and less in others and no areas where it's wiped if which would happen if it was actually ridden.

Also if you zoom in and look closer at it there's no real detail to anything, no definition to the heads of any of the bolts, the brake caliper is a blob, the brake hose looks more like a wiring harness, the footpegs don't make any sense, no rear brake pedal, the lower part of the rear subframe is split for no reason, the end can of the exhaust is also a bit blobby, and the spokes of the wheels are all over the place.

It wasn't comfy at all and I can't tell how I should've acted to make it more comfy.

>>28520931
You could've waited for the car to go, or chose a non-retarded spot to turn around.

Tbh it's pretty noisy at speed but I drive a classic Honda so I don't get that quick, and I always wear something in my ears on my bike.

>>28520547
English THIRD language over here

>>28520946
I agree like everyone says in this thread that this helps disconnecting the man from the road more and more. It basically makes it a scooter that you just need to quickshift.

I have a friend with a CBR650 with that thing and he says he doesn't know how to use a clutch anymore. I rode it and yea, its just an almost automatic motorcycle. Real smooth. I like it in some ways but I'd never actually want one on my bike.

Honda has way better electronics than yamaha for example. and it also shows here. My CRF250L was way more stable and precise with fuel injection and timing than my tenny. The tenny is better mechanically.... ok maybe a bit unfair since the CRF250 and tenny are pretty different in priceing.

I came on her back while backpacking her when she was showing off her high speeds if that counts? Luckily it just absorbed into the cushion pad in my lycra without being noticeable.

Well today im a nobike riding a bicycle to go get a crf450r chain guide for $25
Luckily for me, my flake senses are tingling and i dont think this uphill grind has any reward after the end of said toil
Picrel is the shitty bicycle i took here lmao
Also crypto mooned so i might as well buy the trugg but i have to wait until saturday to get the laptop delivery timeline, hopefully i acquire that and can continue baal runs while i regret belief in kando- which by the way still doesnt fucking real and i am LIVING PROOF™ that kando doesnt fucking real™

I got aux lights installed on my cb500x. Its has a yellow low and a high white. I aimed the high white to the same level as the drl. Testing in my backyard it looks like a game changer. Can't wait to ride it tomorrow.

>>28521174
Crackpipe

hi

>>28521174
Im convinced kando doesnt real on anything but a suzuki bking, fxr 5 speed harley evo superbaggerdaddy chopperlifestyle™, and possibly you have to frakenstein kando into belief
Put simply the more of a moneypit you create; the greater suspension of disbelief on if whether kando does real (it does not)

Also i bought the crf450 chain guide, problem is that my metal plate was eaten, you guus think i can install this new rubberset and spot weld on a new bottom end for the whole guide attachment?

Here's my ebike, it's a norco indie vlt. The tube bag has a second battery so I can go about 200km before needing to recharge. Tbh I would love to have a motorbike but I'm too cheap and lazy to deal with licensing, gas, parking requirements.

>>28521277
ok then fuck off the motorcycle thread, poorfag

>>28520687
I put this together for my mom for Christmas. Only the big one is actually from the great lakes though.

>>28521279

>>28521287
you ride the ferry and a bicycle because you're a poorfag

>>28521289
Why are you mean

>>28521289
I'm literally a software developer. It's just comfy.

>>28521212
I would've yielded if there was one lane.

>>28521293
you're finna be even poorer in a year when AI takes your job lmao

>>28521296
Not likely, I'm unionized public sector :)

>>28521277
The primary reason I choose a motorcycle over a bicycle is that I absolutely hate bicycle seats.
Wide and plush = unhealthy pressure points, no bueno for long rides.
Hard and narrow = my ass hurts.

Otherwise I'd consider e-bikes the most superior form of transportation.
Quiet rides > engine roar.
Light is right, a vehicle you can lift with one hand is just more fun than any fat pig.

>>28521297
SWE in the public sector = poorfag by SWE standards though

>>28520947
Ive been going on and off here for idk how long. My earliest memory is that the OP was always this dude who had a green ninja, green gear and had that ridiculous looking green mohawk on his helmet.

>>28521303
Yeah I value the job security and comfiness/time off though

>>28521302
Bike seats are both very personal preference and have an adjustment curve where even the best fitted seat is gonna feel bad for a few rides until you get used to it. Basically you want to support your two pelvis "sit bones" with some cushioning and not have pressure on anything else. The big fat cruiser seats are kind of a trap, what you want is a narrow-ish seat that fits your two pelvis pressure points but still has enough cushioning that you can ride without getting sore. I'm lucky the stock seat my bike came with works for me but it's different for everybody, sometimes a cheap seat is what's comfy.

I live in an area with very good bike infrastructure so in a lot of ways e-bike is preferable to driving/motorbiking, especially for short distance stuff in town. I love being able to charge the batteries in my apartment and not have to worry about gas. The downside is longer trips are hard and riding on the shoulder in less urban areas is a bit stressful.

So I had wanted to have a whole photo dump of doing my clutch basket, but I had to ordered some stuff. So you'll have to settle for half a dump.
In this pic I have the clutch basket ready to have the rivets drilled to remove the back plate holding the gear on. It looks like it really got some heat into it. No idea if this is normal wear.

>>28521312
one day a guy like me is gonna come along in a chevy 2500 HD and turn you into splatter, which is a better ending than government fags deserve

>>28521321
Rivet heads drilled off

>>28521324
back plate removed. Here you can see some sort of cush drive built into the clutch basket.

>>28521325
Here's the new Hinson unit. It's pretty snazzy if you ask me.

>>28521326
Gear and cush drive set into the new basket. And here's where it ends. I'll have to wait until tomorrow to finish it up. Thank you for joining me in this short trip through the XR650R clutch basket.

>>28521326
What bike is this for? Also if the original shit was riveted I'd use black thread locker so that shit never comes off. They don't keep the black shit on the shelves you always have to ask the parts counter cuck to look in the back for the black stuff.

>>28521312

That's why I had to stop today. The hardware store only had Loctite 271. Hinson calls for a generous amount of 272. I always thought loctite was supposed to be used sparingly to allow it to dry, but I guess you're supposed to use a lot for this particular application.

Yea you generally don't replace rivets with bolts. It's usually bolts aren't good enough so the shit must be riveted.

>>28521341
Would be kinda cool if it came with rivets, but I understand why they chose bolts. A lot of race teams use Hinson stuff so I'm not worried. I'll stake the bolts though just in case.

Chainsaws are the most pristine and reliable tools out there, it's very natural to buy a motorcycle from the Chainsaw manufacturer.

>>28521546
its a rebranded KTM, and husqvarna chainsaws are absolutely great products and insanely reliable, so your joke doesnt work in either direction

>>28521545
Check the throttle body and cable see if it has too much slack.
If not that check the air filter and make sure there is not a dead mouse in there.

>>28521548
>rebranded KTM
KTM motorcycles are some of the most reliable bikes out there.

>>28521549
its ride by wire, but i thought about some throttle issue myself and i did a throttle reset yesterday, didnt ride since then.

i checked the airfilter, nothing in there looks great
i suspect its some mapping/ECU issue but why all of a sudden?
i was riding it very hard before that came to light so maybe something in the bike is confused... im going to the barber in a bit and then ill do an INI run on a parking lot somewhere, that "should" reset the ECU parameters
but what the fuck do i do if that doesnt work

>>28521552
they really arent man but ive had 3 and loved all of them, except their reliability the bikes are amazing to ride

>>28521553
Unfortunately with a ride by wire you might have to dealership to fix it or go check other forums for a similar problem.

Yeah after your haircut let the bike idle for 5-10 mins and see if it fixes itself.

>>28521555
>Yeah after your haircut let the bike idle for 5-10 mins and see if it fixes itself.

>>28521556
Most modern bikes have learning ECUs, if you done something like give it a slip on it's recommended to let it idle for 10 mins so the ECU can figure out what's going on.

>>28521539
Add a new V4 for the track.

June was last month anon

>>28521592
Awful styling as usual.

why are dry sump bikes such a pain when it comes to getting a proper oil level reading? I got a used DR350 a month ago and its my first dry sump. So far its great but I don't understand how to get an accurate reading. The manual says to run it idle 3 min and let it rest 1 min, but if I do so the dipstick tells my I'm way low on oil, like at the lower limit. If however I let it run 10 minute, let it rest for 1 or 2 and then check, I get oil all the way to the F line. Which reading should I trust?

'ku

>>28521598
Honder is a honder is a honder.

All the mechanical bits are in place save for the rear differential and tire, time to figure out this mess of wires some fucking retard left as a harness, could've at least use colored wires instead of red and yellow for everything.

>>28521560
thing is, it was running perfect for the last 1000km (since i bought it) and yesterday it started giving me this crap.
i didnt change anything, i set my brake lever further down though and of course had to tilt the throttle down further for that as well but with RBW that should not make any difference whatsoever

the bike has an open air filter, no catalysator, and the EGR deactivated, but it was all done properly and correctly mapped afterwards

>>28521609
Your plugs ok? Maybe whip them out and check for signs of fueling issues.

>>28521594

Wow gee anon I have no idea!

>>28521598
Does it have vibrations?

>>28521657
I test rode it at 6000 rpm. When I got off after riding it at high speed for a long time, I felt a small vibration that made my hands tingle. The shop told me that this was a chronic problem from the 650f, and that it couldn't be fixed by adjustment or maintenance. So I decided not to buy it.

>>28521658
With a 4-cylinder sports bike, especially a Honda, you expect the smoothness of a motor, so with that vibration, everyone is disappointed.

Jbs shocks are 80-$130. That ain't much and I'm trying to get the ergonomics to feel a bit better after changing the seat. My legs are still in an awkward position on the pegs, ankles hurt cause I have my foot slightly lifted to get on the brake or shift, I'm hoping lifting the rear fixes a lot of the ergo issues I have had just I worry about the kickstand and chain with the extra height.

could be caused by multiple things. check air filter and fuel pump. also try to clean the injectors. i recently replaced the fuel pump on mine and its been so much better you wouldnt believe it (2016 here)

>>28521794
>i4 is bad as a street engine
I really don’t understand where this meme comes from, there are plenty of i4’s tuned for low end torque.
The smooth power delivery in your first few thousand RPM is really nice, the weaker engine braking is also nice so you can take your hand off the throttle every once in a while. The peakiness is ideal for highway riding too.
Even when I’m wringing it out I’m getting still getting 40+mpg similar to an SV
It sounds absolutely amazing, the only real problem for street riding IMO is that it shits out heat but so do Harley’s and other air cooled engines and they never get called “bad street bikes” for it

>>28520947
They still post pictures of that guy but he was before my time

>>feels like when i close the throttle, the gas stays on for longer than it should
This is a lean condition. Since it happened suddenly it's probably a vacuum leak causing extra air to go in the engine. Check the airbox and all the tubes and hoses for damage or disconnection. If some guy did an EGR delete, check if his patch job is holding up. It could also be a failure of the fuel pump or a filter or injector that got blocked by debris causing the fuel going in to be less. So check all of that shit too and see if it works.

It's definitely not valves, the air filter having a mouse, or an ECU issue. The ECU is a solid state device on a motorcycle, it doesn't learn, please do not waste your time with this

>>28521840

>>28521845
Okay but I feel like there’s an important distinction between city riding and street riding.
I’ve ridden my bike in the city plenty and it’s not great for spending 20+ minutes at stoplights but if you know that that’s all you’re going to be doing then you might as well get a scooter for convenience and MPG’s sake
But if you’re just taking it to get out of town and then go somewhere nice why would you compromise and get a different engine configuration to slightly alleviate the worst part of riding of that you won’t enjoy anyways

>i4 bad street bike
I disagree, used to ride fireblades and that thing was sweet for the street. When you don't have much power in the lower section of the powerband it permits you to tackle stop n go traffic. Just nerf the bike by shifting into a higher gear than 1st.
