another op not made by you and yet you're still complaining. i'm thinking you just love the drama

Fucking Giuseppe think this is funny?
Getting that splitter and banjo bolt in place is a motherfucker because Luigi cut one of the hoses just a tiny bit shorter than the other one because the heads are slightly offset.
Could've just stuck two longer hoses in there instead of a long and short one, wrestling the shorter one into the head is a bitch of a job.

Tranny thread

>>28530930
What is the biggest concern in a high milage bikes? Cylinder? Bearings? All of it?

>>28531035
>I don’t want everyone posting, just me and my girls.
What are you, a fucking woman?

KLR and other advdads where we at? find any good trails around you?
I love that I can ride this at 80mph on the highway and also take it on any fire road

>>28531039
I always find age to be more of an issue than milleage.
Nothing, really. Maybe aftermarket exhaust might need repacking and some cables adjusted.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a clutch lever for a harley that doesn't force you to 4 finger it? I just bought my first harley and the clutch lever blows rancid asshole. I just destroyed the lever trying to bend it into the shape I want.

>>28531039
Water cooled bike? The only concern is that the PO never got a valve adjustment.
Air cooled? Piston and cylinder wear. (and lack of valve adjustments)

>>28531044
He will never be a woman
>>28531049
That's the brake lever, son. Clutch is on the other side.

>>28531052
My bad bro, this is what I meant to draw.

Also, one other thing, can I swap out their queer ass blinker controls for something normal? Goddamn that shit sucks.

>>28531053
Lol

>>28531053
whats a pirg and revel? are these weird harley parts or something

>>28531049
You don't need one made for a Harley, you need one made for your master cylinder. Figure out if it's Nissin, Tokico, or Brembe OEM (sadly different from aftermarket Brembo) and get a lever from any bike that uses the same master.

>>28531056
>he doesnt revel his pirg.

>>28531061
well yeah ofc I dont, I dont ride a harley

>>28531049
HYB, what model? I had levers from Crossthread Cycle on my softail, they were short enough that it felt OK to 2-finger it and I have pretty small hands to begin with. Stunt guys seem to favor the 1FNGR clutch but the ones I've seen require you to replace the whole clutch perch and run like 2x as much as a result.

>>28530978
what does ideal posting looking like, in your perfect world, what is the thread discussing?

>>28531063
he's asking about yelrah

>>28531053
Lmao, Harley designers are such turboautists.

>>28531063
Neither do I, I ride a lamron. A WMB to be specific.

>>28531049
Using your whole hand on the clutch is good, actually, you have more control of the clutch lever and you don’t have anything to do with your hand besides, unlike the right hand which might be operating throttle and break at the same time to rev match downshift

>>28530976
>Nyet problem Grigori, just drill a hole into the block and head, oil will get to valvetrain

>>28531075
It's kinda nice to have a better grip on the left when accelerating from a stop, when your bike has a little power. And being able to cover the clutch with a finger or two is also good.

>>28530976
>>28531081
>Hai honda-san, drill oil passage from oil gallery in block to head, oil will get to valvetrain

>>28531046
Thumper owner. There is no public land in my state and people will actually try and put buckshot in your ass if you go past a purple gate, county road or not. It's simply not worth trying to find cool trails up any of the canyons or hills here because it's inevitably a 10,000 acre ranch and touching someone's dirt road to see where it goes isn't worth having a gun pointed at you.

So it's eithera 3 hour ride to a 3-4 acre OHV parks, or pull up my state's ArcGIS, filter by road type, and look for cool views that I can reach by twisty dirt roads and hope the rancher hasn't put an illegal gate up. Unfortunately for me and my 1st world problems, as more and more gas wells and subdivisions go up around me, all the roads are being paved.

>>28531057
Its a cable operated clutch and I couldn't find any manufacturer marks on it so I feel like its Harley only.

>>28531065
2022 Low rider. I like the bike but there are a few things I have to change for sure. Clutch lever and blinker controls if possible. The risers also angled the handlebar top mounted gauge cluster towards my beltline so I can only read the rpm, I'm going to modify my current risers or get some without the pullback. Cruise control is super nice though, first bike with it.

>>28531075
Literally nobody on earth will convince me that being able to operate your levers with 2 fingers isn't better than 4. The only time I have ever used more that 2 fingers is on the clutch when I'm stuck in stop and go traffic and my fingers got tired. I'm sure I could get used to it, but I currently have way more control with 2 fingers.

>>28531091
holy fuck that's sad. I'm literally a 5 minute ride from acres upon acres of public land for hunting that's mostly used by logging companies.

>>28531093
Cant you just loosen up the bars or the gauges, rotate them, and tighten them back up? I've never seen any conversions for the turn signal indicators unfortunately, they're a little annoying but you could just fully embrace Harley life and never use your blinker. There's another mechanism attached to your right handlebar that functions as a horn, turn signal, and throttle all at once.

>>28531102
it's even worse in some areas of the country where some rancher buys the land surrounding BLM land and forbid access.
https://montanafreepress.org/2025/05/22/landowner-looks-to-appeal-loss-in-corner-crossing-case-to-us-supreme-court/

>>28531107
BLM's days are numbered. The few conservatives out west who understand it's importance find no common ground with the rest of conservatives who hate any publicly owned land and liberals back east who simply don't care. It's going to end up back in the states hands, and places like Idaho, Montana, and Nevada will sell it off to China or the Saudis in order to have a one time tax break on property taxes during a tough election year.

>>28531105
That would make too much sense, Harley mounted the gauge on top of the clamp for the handle bars and the aftermarket manufactures didn't adjust the angle of the bar mount for their risers because they could make more selling gauge cluster adaptors for several hundred dollars. I'm either going to model and 3d print a gauge mount or just buy cheap risers with no pullback that keep the stock angle.

>>28531093
>cable operated clutch
Oh hell, buy any old lever and perch set for 1" bars.

>>28531114
Conservatives also love for the federal government to buy land and then just give it to them for free. Which is what Y'all Qaeda wants.

And not in a good way. Look into their issues with hydraulic lifters and solid tappet lifter metallurgy problems
>sturdy
Uhh sure, I'll give you that to an extent, just check timing chain tensioners from time to time
>and easily fixed
I'll have to stop you on that one chief, the engines look simple on paper and in real life too, but they have some retarded design decisions going on that complicate matters for no reason at all.

>>28531163
I know multiple people who had them and they're very old school compared to their contemporaries, at least prior to the 90s.
Guy I know has a 79 1000 with 359k km on it and he fixes everything himself.
ofc a soviet flathead is insanely sturdy and stupid easy to fix but it's basically deisgned to be as such. A much worse example of a western V2 is the CX500.

>>28531163
Any Guzzi 1200 that's been rollerized should be fine.

>I have more control with less fingers
Doubt it, but I believe you think it

>>28531169
Flat head Urals and K's are quite okay, the OHV ones are a bit here and there yeah.
The gucci is "okay" I guess, it is fairly archaic in design compared to other western bikes sure, but there are some little nigglets here and there that piss me the fuck off.
Like for example the old cable driven speedos have a brass bushing in the transmission side held by a screw that also holds the cable in the transmission, kinda like in an Ural.
The difference here is that the brass bushing is held by the screw. If you don't grab the bushing with pliers or something before unscrewing, you'll drop it inside the transmission and that's a tranny out and open surgery day.
Meanwhile in an Ural they added a stepped edge bellow the steel bushing, retards like me and room temp iq vatniks can't drop it into the transmission.
Or the magneto armature that needs a "special tool" to remove so you can replace the timing cover front oil seal.
In an Ural they have no seal, just put a ton of RTV around the whole timing cover and maybe it won't leak, problem solved.

>>28531210
R7

>>28531211
Aight so first step is to get rid of it.

>>28531212
Which bike would you recommend to get girls?

>>28531209
A small minority of girls are really into bikes. Then a larger chunk of them might think they're cool and thats about it. You can find some by just having you on the bike as a tinder pic. But otherwise cars and bikes dont have much of an effect on women. Unless the vehicle you are in conveys wealth then it doesnt mater. You have a 100k nsx doesnt look as good to women as just a 50k Mercedes. But even then the difference is negligible.

>>28531216

I bought my last new bike to commute cos i moved like 50 miles away from work. Few week later covid kicked off and they put us all on wfh. Im a sunday afternoon rider now.

>>28531242
No i have all my parts other than a spare axle if needed
Today i grind but alas angle grinder is eta 5pm unless they also flake me then its another shitshow through marketplace
Right now im feeling confident this week ia my last unless there is a catastrophic failure on my end

Idk really get this. I have not found i4s to be difficult to ride in typical commuter scenarios. If its 100f with gridlock traffic and you refuse to laneslpit then yeah they're no good. But then again neither is a twin in a ss fram. A scooter would be better. Really all these 600 and liters are pretty easy to ride, at a low level

>>28531421
This is true

Anyone know the triumph 765 engine well? I know there was a new daytona rider here awhile ago. Just test rode one, and at low rpm, if I really got on the throttle it felt like a bag of rocks banging around until I got up to low-midrange before it smoothed out. It's an older bike, I don't know if thats normal or not

>>28531423
older bikes generally are either made to make torque at all RPMs (goldwings, harleys, guzzis, flat twin bimmers) or at high rippums (most L4s and anything sporty) so yeah I wouldnt be worried. If it runs fine at high rpm no issues.

>>28531428
Thanks. I'm more of an enduro rider so it's yough to break the habit of keeping the rom low, but I knew sport bikes liked higher rpm so I figured it was rider error

so how annoying is it to live with spoke wheels? there's this bike I like and want to buy but the owner paid a premium to have spoke wheels installed at the dealership for """the looks"""

You'll probably get a flat every 6-24 months depending on how often you ride and then it'll be a pain in the ass to change it

my bike is pretty loud as far as rumbling goes, but, want it to be a little more distressing to those around me
I would like to install a jericho siren on my bike, i can’t find anyone having done this before, they all mount them on model planes
Has anyanon done this or knows of someone who has? Would appreciate any advice

>>28531525
Yeah but how'd it get that dent in the front of the tank?

>>28531628
It's there on both sides. I think it's like that from the factory so the fork doesn't hit the tank

>>28531566
Having to remove a rear tire and then spoon that fucker off and on again because you picked up a nail in summer heat is grade A bullshit. Yes, you should have to do it at least once because a side gash in a tubeless means your throwing a fucking tube in there anyway.

But if you can just plug the fucking nail hole? Good God, go for it. It's worth the cost of a new tire unless it's happening every 4 months. Fuck man, just typing this makes me reconsider buying tubless spoked rims for my dual sport.

Right so instead of jail like the system intends for a crime like stringing up a wire your (conditioned) brain jumps to D E P O R T I N G

In the buisness we call that a slippery slope. Should we cut off people's hands for stealing bread too? Maybe if they worship the wrong god as well for good measure?

Anyone know a good diagnistic test of finding out which part may be broken between an ignitor and a signal generator? I can short 1 wire to fire 1 coil, but shorting the other wire won't fire the other coil. Both coils fire if i swap wires, I assume splicing the "working" wire wouldn't let a 4cyl fire correctly since the signal generator is 180 degrees opposed?

>>28531713
We should deport your retarded ass with them
Returning someone to their home is hardly a punishment at all

god fucking damnit
insanely fucking long hose clamp Giant Loop supplied with their heatshield came loose, somehow did a 180 around the exhaust and bodywork, and rubbed on my rim for 10 miles or something. I knew I should've cut the fucking thing but the instructions didn't say to and I didn't want to leave a jagged-ass edge, which now I've got because the only thing I had that could get through the fucking thing was a sawzall, so I safety wired it but it didn't hold. I can probably touch it up easily enough but it definitely took a little bit of metal off and now I'm worried about the integrity of the rim.

Yes, retard, do you think it’s the only thing immune to supply and demand ?

what's a realistic price for a well-running ct90? guy near me is moving and has it listed at $1500. seems realistic to me but my neighbor thinks im smoking crack considering it. in my mind the only issue is that it's the older, pre-telescopic fork, pre-turn signal model.

>>28531934
It's a cheap, light (for what it is) beginner bike, or a trail bike for people who don't care about going fast. The 300L, XT250, etc. are in the same class. It's got enough power to haul my 200+lb fat ass uphill at 70mph at 5000' so it's not unusably slow either.
I got mine knowing full well that it wouldn't be a long-term bike though, it's just a learning machine so I can get the basics down before moving up to a 450lb ADV.

I just take the pads out of mine and throw it in the washer with one of those bags women use for their panties. Never been a problem.

>>28531960
I ran it through the washer, didn't work. I hit a cloud of mayflies there were hundreds. I scrubbed it with a brush, ran it through the wash, and there is still some residue

How do I plug the AIS system? Is it the hose that attaches to the ash canister or am I plugging some other hose?

>>28531971
The secondary air intake? It should be attached to your airbox. I've heard of guys sticking a marble in there, I just used a rubber stopper and jammed it into the hole.

>>28531976
Yeah I remember my previous bike had the “mod” having something like a bolt stuck in the tube covered by tape, I just don’t remember where that was attached to. Thanks.

>>28531968
Maybe a strong shop vac could suck them out? Or blow them out with shop air if you've got it? Part of me also thinks that maybe you could be an absolute madman and pressure wash it but that seems pretty damn iffy.

>>28531983
Its the guts/bug matter that's stuck, shop vac and air wouldn't be enough. Pressure washer would probably wreck the jacket, its a Klim jacket but not rated for that

>>28531342
Easy, but not fun. With the CP2 you can wheelie on every stop light.

>>28531955
I feel like any 4 cylinder race bike is a waste to use for dailying. Not comfy, gets hot in traffic, prone to breaking the law quickly, either kills tires quickly or you squared it off and because its doing it so quickly youre thinking of cheaping out on the tires.

>>28532009
People used to trade their Superpsorts for an SV650 and were happy because of MUH TORQUE it's much better and more fun. Now imagine a fucking CP3

>>28532013
This is Miata of motorcycles.

CBX wheelbase is 60.4".
Polaris drivetrain donor is 50.4".
Mickey Thompson a-arms work out to have about a 14" wider track (+/-).

Im trying to minimize bloat and not have this thing be the size of a SxS but its tough to not only keep everything in (actual) balance but find that combination of stability and agility.
Trying to build something i can carve around trees in my forest but still be stable on Comp Hill at Glamis.

Also found out I can still register it as a CBX if it passes inspection. Basically the same concept as those old school builds where they grafted a VW engine and transaxle onto a Harley frame. Will make shit easier traveling to different states if I have plates and dont need an ORV decal for every state.

>>28532017
I think the CP3 would personally be overkill for commuting in my case. If I wanted something that would be cheap to run, it'd be the CP2 engine that doesnt murder tires. I do about 80 miles a day, with the majority of it being highway straights. I would pick the R7 over the other bikes the CP2 is on just because its the skinniest for easier lane splitting. I wont deny that if I wanted a more entertaining bike, I'd go with the MT09, but I'd rather say my MT09's mileage came from twisties and not just having it on cruise control on the highway as I headed to work.

tl;dr R7 workhorse, MT09 garage princess for weekends

>>28532005
Yeah I figured it might not hold up. Klim makes it tough too, big investment there that you wouldn't want to just write off.

Picking up my bike next friday boys. Rode it yesterday during a test drive, which was the first time in 4 years I've been on a bike. Felt like meeting an old friend after a long time apart

>>28532029
damn that pic would be a great phone case

>>28531913
The tracer 9 shares its engine with a sport bike called the R9. So if it has the same specs, that would make the pan America on par with a sport bike.

>>28532024
The R7 is really aggressive ergonomically, I would not want to daily it. Just get an 8R it's both way comfier and also faster and better.

>>28531913
A lot of Harley people are blown away by the performance, that's not shocking. As for "keeps up with" they're mostly referring to weekend road riding and not actual track laptimes or power/weight.

>>28532009
That's fine, I dont have a problem with people that feel this way and I'm glad they can buy what they like. What is bullshit is taking something I think is cool, even if it's impractical, and outlawing it because of efficiency or some bullshit. If the bike doesn't sell then whatever, "the customer is always right" after all. If some bureaucrat cuck waves his wand to make cool bikes disappear while flooding the continent with brown people, then I huff gas and yell about it on moldovan sneaker smuggling forums.

>>28532056
As a jeet, I should get one for the funnies, but CB750 is cheaper and its good too.

>>28532049
But it's ugly. Also rider looks dumb af on this thing.
You can't full tuck because it's such a retarded bike.

>>28532061
So it's less shit on your wrists/core for the average ride? If you can't figure out how to tuck with taller bars/clip ons, that's a you problem.

>>28532063
I remember people saying "ooh nice suzuki did it right it's not too agressive like the Yamaha"
And it's just the same fucking naked 8S with useless plastic. Global SuzukiJews decided to save some money and skipped the development process, essentially they're selling you the same fucking bike.

>>28532074
And that's bad because? It's a daily bike that protects you from the wind. If you want a sports bike, go buy a GSXR750, Unlike some brand that killed their sport bike named R6 and are pretending their tranny bike R7 and R9 pretending to be sports bike.

>>28532083
Why would I need a track bike for the streets as a daily rider?

To overheat it at stoplight? To cook my balls? To burn more premium gas? To kms? To use just half of it? To burn tyres faster?

I want to look cool and feel the thrill, but I don't want to suffer.

>>28532091
That's why GSX-8S exists. R7 and R9 pretend to do both which is my problem with Yamahaha.

>>28532061

>>28532083
Suzuki hit the delete button in Europe for the gsxr750 :(

>>28532092
Well, you know, the R9 is better than the GSXR750 both on track and on the streets.

R7 only better on the streets. Although some people overtake new 911s on Burgerking while driving a 35 years old Nissan 200SX. And some people overtake leader bikes in the corners on a fucking SV650 so there's that.

>>28532101
>R9 is better than the GSXR750 both on track
X for doubt. Even with more displacement if they can stump the gsxr750, it'll be a real shame. I don't expect R9 to do better because its a street bike. R9 is heavier, lower power, but has better torque.

Anon, Yamaha R9 won 8 races out of 10 in its first year. Best result for the Suzuki: one third and one second place.

>>28532114
Who the fuck is racing with different displacement classes?

>>28532116
MotoAmerica SuperSport class. They have different maximum displacements for different cylinder counts to keep the horsepower roughly equal. At The Ridge the race was mostly R9s and Panigale V2s and a couple of GSX-R750s.

So what phone mounts are dbt approved?

Have you ever ridden a CP2 in you shooming career?

Dyno plots don't tell the whole story. What about thrust plots and gearing and application? If a bit more torque lower in the rev range is better then why stop with the bikes mentioned? Get a cruiser right? higher torque low rev relatively low horsepower must be better right? I swear people will buy an inline and intentionally keep it out of the power and then complain about it not having power. But that's half the fun of an inline...they are Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. Relatively docile if wanted or ballistic missile if wanted. Just twist your fucking wrist poosie. Derr it's better to ride a slow bike fast than a fast bike slow!

Has anybody here shoved cartridge emulators in the front forks of either a dr650 or a xr650l? If so, I request your subjective opinion on the differences in the ride before and after, both on road and off.

>>28532210
>>28532222
checked and yes

>>28532281
I swapped out the front and rear springs and added emulators and it transformed the bike completely, no more pogoing or lunching forward with braking, handles so much better in every environment, money well spent imo
How much of that is attributed to the emulators alone, no idea

I'd take paper maps over garmin.

>>28532397
Some apps let you pre-download the maps for the area you'll be in before leaving your house to avoid needing a constant internet connection on your phone, otherwise a true sat-nav set-up will be bulky and impractical, expensive as hell, or both.

>>28532397

This is honestly a no go if you want updated, open source offline maps. You're going to pay through the nose for Garmin topos, for example, and they're street coverage isn't the best anyway.

I know that OSMand works in offline mode, with wifi or mobile data turned off, if you are paranoid about heat mapping. I would also check the Scandi map apps too. Any app with servers in the EU is going to have better data user protection baked in than US apps, in my experience.

Leave your phone at home, pull over on the side of the road, and take out a paper map, they’re still available. Memorize the next few steps of directions. Pay attention to the road.
There is no technology that gives you directions that can’t be used to retroactively track you with ping information. If you don’t care about being tracked, there’s no reason not to use internet connected devices. You can’t half ass trying to avoid technology.
