Why SHOULDNT I have it professionally repainted with a scheme devised by my pal in design, and coated for corrosion resistance?
Why SHOULNT I let it become a money pit of upgrades and fun?

Is lane splitting like this legal?

>>28526430
It is here in Arizona. At least I don't think the language about lane filtering is specific enough to make it illegal. You have two lanes of traffic following the same direction, and cars are stopped. But I used to do this in places it was entirely not under the law, nobody seemed to care.

>>28526317 (OP)
Are there any trikers here?

>>28526392
That seems like a really difficult decision, they're both objectively good. Any answer I give you is coming from a place of hating Yamaha for killing the R6 but loving that the XSR900 is made in Japan and not Thailand and I DONT KNOW HOW TO FEEL> SOMEONE TELLLLL ME ITS OKKKKKK RAAAAA

>>28526390
Most of us are on lunch and are bored shitless.

Went to Korean friendship bell today after doing some passes on Ortega, god I love how long these summer days last.

That that specific time. Only counts with two lanes moving the same direction. Using the right turn lane and a regular lane don't count. That was an illegal move.

It's not ok what they did to Yamaha r6. Cp3 is good but they need to bring back the r6 with silver frame and TV screen cluster.

>>28526519

The best option near me is either paying 500 dollars for a very shitty used bike that needs some parts replaced with needing to drive it home when getting it or paying 2300-2500 for something brand new plus anything that is needed for it. Is it good on paper?

It felt so good today. I did a big loop run with twisties out and highways home. She leans over so well with the Givi boxes off I almost never put them back on, hence the cargo net.

God fucking damn it. I cracked my factory handlebar riser trying to bend it back to shape, now I'm out $300 for a fancy aftermarket one because OEM lead times have them a month out for another shitty cast aluminum part

Why do you continue to post your bike in tranny threads?

>>28526605
dude can you not leave, without you were cooked

>>28526558
Every dual sport is kind of a meme. 300 Rally is actually like a 280 Rally. It will be a little better than your TW, but still not a bike you want to take on the highway imo. Also, the bikes were not designed to be dropped like a real dual sport, the plastics will break and are super expensive to replace. May as well get an ADV bike imo.

>>28526580
I was actually looking at this. A Kymco AK550 with a big touring windshield.

Redpill me on choppers. How come no major manufacturer makes a chopper? Do real engineers think choppers are retarded? Or is it that chopper riders won't buy one pre-built? What's going on here?

>>28526615
based. I just picked up this 2022 Suzuki Burgman 400. it's an absolute blast so far. comfy, practical, easy to ride, handles well, great suspension for a scoot, 75mpg. ignore the rash on the side, the P.O. was a woman.

>>28526636

No matter what I get I have to choose between the bike or the ranger. Obviously the ranger is the more sensible choice but is it god damn I hate riding these roads so bad. I wonder if a bigger bike would even be worth it since I'd probably just be doing the same just faster.

Pray for me bros. I’m going to head home from work in 10 minutes and it just started raining. One weather app just says light rain. Other says thunderstorms and flash floods.

How do those wheels work? Wouldn't having the suspension on one side produce a torque on the wheel and strain the bearing?

Got my bike to 0 bars on the fuel gauge today, normally I’m pretty quick about filling up before it gets below quarter tank but I didn’t even notice how much this thing slurps gas when you’re at top of 6th. I guess it really has to dump a lot of fuel into the air resistance

https://youtu.be/mdyxYp20Z5Y

>>28526797

It’s funny tho, when I’m riding mountains/canyons I’m basically living at 8k+ on the tach but it still stays at around 40mpg but when I’m on the freeway doing the same in sixth I can see my gas gauge drop in realtime
I don’t really understand how fueling the engine works tho so I’m probably just missing something very obvious

Indeed, this was on the way to buy it. Had to ride two up on his scooter to go get it since I can’t really take passengers that weigh any more than 50+ lbs of my own weight or else the ride feels sketch and I struggle holding the bike up

>>28526636
>How come no major manufacturer makes a chopper?
By definition a chopper is a custom bike made from a chopped up factory bike. That said, Honda for some reason makes and allegedly sells this fucking thing.

>>28526808
That actually seems weird as shit anon. I've never known any bike to have different fueling in 6th.

>>28526839
How do you feel about the R1200RS?

>>28526834
Actually thinking back on it, it’s probably just the difference of holding a sustained 11k rpm vs bouncing off of 14 and then coasting down to 8
Wrenchlet brain didn’t consider that I’m not *actually* pinning thr throttle in in corners

I pass a ZX14 everyday on the way to work. BUT last time it was a KZ1000 police. It had to be a Kawasaki Hoss, right?

Air resistance. You're having to hold the throttle open more to fight the wind. Fuel economy falls off of a cliff past 60-70 on most bikes.

Yeah that'd do it.

>>28526847
>Fuel economy falls off of a cliff past 60-70 on most bikes.
That's one of the reasons I love the VFR800, 6th gear is so fucking tall you can cruise at 80-85 without even touching the VTEC range.

>>28526842
I'm thinking of something more like MT or R7 but from BMW.

>>28526832
The Honda Fury is based af, the only problem with it is the engine should've been the VTX1800

>>28526854
Well you have the G310 poobike thumpers, a series of disappointing Rotax ptwins, and then the S1000R(R) literbikes. Everything except the liter bikes (and arguably even the liter bikes!) are things BMW sees as starter toys to get people into the brand so they can buy a boxer twin "Real BMW" some day.

>>28526858
Oh also BMW used to have the K series of i4s which were nice, the last of which is the behemoth K1600GT tourer.

>>28526858
F800ST looks neat but I assume they're long dead

>>28526861
Yeah, one of our semi-regulars has one and likes it. It's one of the Rotax ptwins so I have no urge to buy one.

>>28526826
Rather have a blackbird. They fly under the radar of people's attention while retaining exceptional build qualilty. Don't put aftermarket exhaust, keep it quiet and nobody will perceive the speeds you can achieve. It's a gentlemens speed demon rather than a ravenous Hayabusa that lacks subtly.
I'd want a 50th anniversary edition of the blackbird, it's bored to 1200cc amongst other changes.

>>28526854
So, the R1200R or R1200RS, used.
>>28526861
It is and it isn't. The F900 is more of an upright sport tourer.

>>28526863

>>28526864
>So, the R1200R or R1200RS, used.
Those are absolutely not like an MT-07 or R7 lol.

>>28526871
They're bigger and shaft instead of chain drive. They'd be better in pretty much every single way apart from sound (subjective) and some flickability.

Is it bad to just layer more lube on a chain and not clean it?

>>28526873
Anon I have an R1250RS myself. I just don't want this guy to kill himself jumping up 600cc and a gorillion footpounds of torque all at once.

>>28526831
Well next time you're up here, we gotta ride. or maybe I gotta head down to the ortega.

>>28526832
This thing just doesn't have a hot enough motor, but I'm glad Honda is still making it.

back in the days, i gues slike 8 years ago or something, i was looking into new urals and saw some articles on the net about how absolute shit they are
i probably wouldnt buy one, especially for that kind of cash, only if they have gotten better in the resent years

>>28526922
Urals are great, what are you on about? Have you ever owned one? Hearsay on the internet means nothing, you shouldn't base your opinions on those.

>>28526932
no i never owned one
do you own one that has been built in the last 20 years?

>>28526932
Not that anon but my boss had a new ural sidecar about 5 or so years ago. Constantly having driveline issues due to poor quality parts, from memory he went through 2 output yokes that came in with dogshit machining. Ended up taking the old one to a local shop to get one made up instead. It was a fine bike when it ran, just slow.

>>28526908
Road trip, you can do before and after right? How long is the trip? Or is it a dirt bike?

>>28526956
Bit more than that. Looking north of 8000km round trip. Going to be plenty of dirt back roads along the way. I'll give the chain a deep clean and lube before I leave then keep an eye along the way. If it wears rapidly I'll grab something on the road. Seen old adventure riders use the small cans of WD40 as a cleaner along with some paper towel if I get caught out.
There is also a large amount I've seen online saying to not bother and modern chains will just keep going with or without love. Not sure if I trust it or not.

>>28526940
No because I have an R1

>>28526969
They should start off on a mega ramp.

>>28526984
IMO my bike shifts better with cleaner chain. I do see the use case for shaft drive now.

ok DRZbros, 2 year update.
So I got one of those chinese 41mm FCR carbs for my bike and it ran hard af and extremely well for a time.
Then one day it didn't. I opened it up and found that the 'brass' jets in it ALL were rusted. THEN after I replaced them all and reinstalled it, I had a vacuum leak I just couldn't pinpoint, until I took it back out again. That's when I noticed a 3cm crack in the housing in the carb itself.
But for $154 on amajew all ya have to do is buy another one and put good jets from JD jetting in it and hope this one doesn't crack too. :>

>That's when I noticed a 3cm crack in the housing in the carb itself
thats crazy

>>28527347
That sounds liek a bad deal
New OEM carb is $350. You're going to have spent that much by the time you buy your second carb + jets, and you'll still have a crappy amazon carb that breaks every 2 years, you'll have installed it twice, and you had to deal with the bike breaking down.

>>28527347
so not brass jets, and not Zamak carb body.

I've come around to liking Royal Enfields now. Himmy and GT 650 are cool. I like the classic 350 too.

would a honda dax/supercub be a good choice for a first bike?

>>28527524
I rode one through my college career. 100-ish MPG and the 50MPH top speed was slow enough to keep me out of trouble but fast enough to annoy Karens on suburban side streets. I recommend.

>>28527493
Yes, but consider a grom.

Tbh while I'm pissed off about still not having my rebel300 back, I have come to the point of prepping hard for Winter since I mostly hated riding in hot weather last year in just sep onwards.

>>28526558
>>28526611
Depends on the highway. My KLX300 will do 60 all day and can manage 70 for a while without being too awful, and the 300L is supposed to be better than it (plus the Rally at least has wind protection and a decent gas tank). I'd say that if you can cruise at 65 and be OK on your local highways it's probably fine but if you need sustained 70+ it's probably not the way to go.

Personally I'm in that last boat myself, people haul ass on all the roads out of my city so getting anywhere that's fun on my 300 requires 30+ minutes of getting tailgated at 70mph, having people almost run me off the road with sketchy passes, etc. and slower alternative routes simply just don't exist, so it's really killing my desire to ride. I'm gonna stick it out for the rest of this season and try to build as much experience as I can and then trade it in on something in the 750 range next spring.

>>28527527
Nein. We need a loisence for that.

>>28526558
If you're planning on going farther on road or 50/50, then look at the 701/690. True dual sports that can rip in the qoods, but won't have any trouble at all on the highway. Intervals are also closer to a street bike. If you want better offroad performance and don't mind the increased maintainance, go for the 500.

Norton V4 will cost around the Panigale V4R. What's even the point? Norton was supposed to get cheaper for us jeets but its not getting cheaper? Fuck this shit.

>>28526558
450GS is coming, wait for BMW to save us.

>>28527614
Sounds like he wants something a bit more ADVish with wind protection, a bigger gas tank, etc. though. KTM does have a 690 Adventure in the works and it looks pretty awesome but it's probably 2+ years away judging by how long it took for the new 390 to come out after the first spy photos. The 690/701 are also a LOT more expensive than the 300L Rally, not just to buy but also to maintain.

>>28527363
ok send us link to a $350 Genuine Keihin FCR41mm flat slide carb and I'll gladly buy one cuz they're ~$800 in the USA.

>>28527626
Thoughts on 390 ADV R? Or himmy?

>>28527635
I'd get the Himalayan 450, but that's just because I like the styling and thought it was comfy when I sat on one. I don't have a local dealer though. The KTM seems good in terms of capability and it looks way better than the last gen but I don't really trust the reliability and it's expensive for a jeet 450 single.

>>28527623
That's just gonna be another jeetbike in the same class as the Himalayan or 390, though. Might also still be a couple of years off, we haven't even seen a real prototype yet.

The bike I'm really interested in is the KLE450/500 that Kawi teased at last year's EICMA. Seems to be an ADV with the same 451cc twin that's in the Ninja 500 etc. and somebody who saw the rest of the bike said it was "rally-style." That might be a real sweet spot bike.

>>28527626
Be a vrave man that buys a ktm atm tho, one more financial hiccup and theyll be gone.

Good morning internet!

That’s never happened to me, probably just a loose connection, rebuild the fairings and see about securing the connection to the dash with tape or something

>>28527618
the real issue is why the hell they are making $20,000+ literbikes, cant believe its legal to have 1st gear on a road vehicle end at 100mph. aprillia rs660 was supposed to be a v4 600 but they bait and switched us at the last minute. its all rigged.

Anon, i

>>28527701
Then securing the connection should be even easier, maybe crack it open and look for signs of corrosion on the board

>>28527698
search facebook for "location" or "area" or "road" + "photographer"

>>28527709
Hm, i have a feeling its vibration related so hopefully not corroded
Have you popped yours open before?

What cunt are you in? Here in France the bike market is down in the dumps.

>>28527745
Finland, the website doesn't have any info so I have to ask at the store.

>>28527746
Seems clean and well equipped, was probably well maintained. Do you know if it rode often? Sometimes low mile vehicles can be fucky if they didnt get used for a while.

>>28527645
I'm waiting for 450gs.

>>28527755
Have to ask the store if they have any info, not sure if it can be trusted any way.
How big of problem is the age, can I assume that I can find spare parts or should I look into something more recent? Don't really have money for brand new though.

>>28527742
Bruh a 300 or a 250? Cb300r? Duke 390 or something like that?

>>28527762
2001 is pretty modern without having all the unneccessary dogshit new bikes have. Might have ABS at most.
You'll find parts, they made a whole bunch of those.

That’s quite expensive IMO but no idea what the market looks like near you. This bike would be worth too little to even sell where i’m at, the market bottoms out around $1500 and you get more bike than this.

Are 7000 "track only" miles enough to justify new chain and sprockets? I typically swap them out every 10k but id imagine there's more wear with spirited track riding.

A bike will almost never get you women, and if it does they aren't exactly desirable examples. The trick to meeting woman is to go outside and talk to people, and either pursue the ones you want or wait for someone to give you signals (afterwhich you go on the pursuit). Can't be passive and expect shit unless you're a woman yourself.
