Should I dual sport my klx300r? It's kind of expensive.

>>28532503
It depends on where you live I guess but around washington, for instance, a lot of people plate their dirt bikes even when they don't intend on riding them on the road. Lot's of connecting trails and roads between different trail systems, and forestry roads for example rewuire plates. You're really limiting yourself without it

Why can't cagers zipper merge? I swear, every single morning there's two areas of backed up freeway and it's over nothing.

This one component makes me wanna sell my bike for one that doesn't even have a cam chain.

You ever throw in the towel over 1 thing an short sighted engineer designed?

>>28532508
It drives me nuts. Happens in the opposite direction, too. If you have an exit that's backed up, lots of gorilla niggers will jump to the end then force their way into the front, which is why it's backed up in the first place

>>28532516
Chain tensioner? What grief is it give you?

>>28532508
Most people are not going to be cool with letting someone "cut in line" in the name of efficiency. They see it as they got to the intersection first, anyone who gets there later should get behind them in their lane.

I've seen the same thing at a post office with multiple queues but only 1 or 2 tellers. People will initially start filling the queues, but after people figure out there aren't the same number of tellers, maybe they'll reshuffle in the beginning, but eventually they'll just yell at anyone who doesn't get behind the longest line.

>>28532498 (OP)
anon you forgot to post the map!

>>28532524
>tranny thread they posted the map
>tranny thread they didn’t post the map
I’m beginning to think you’re all just trannies anyways

>>28532519
Few reasons
In 00' they had a V1 design and afterwards had a V2 design essentially.

The V1 was prone to the piston sticking causing you to manually adjust it to unstick it, if you are full Throttle then suddenly close it completely there's a small chance to stick the piston.

Honda, yamah, kawi, etc all have these things at an angle that has the bolts hugging the frame which is fine if you have low profile sockets but if you're a average Joe then you're gonna have a bad time.
I don't like manual tensioners for road bikes because you must periodically check and properly set the tension, effectively defeating the purpose of remedying the fix entirely.
>tldr I'm just a big handed bitch who gets paranoid over any and all noises coming from my machine, a slight tapping sound from the cam chain slapping drives me fucking insane

>>28532503
ALL dual sports are expensive most of the time even more than their sportbike segments. idk whats the deal with them

>>28532516
Mine just gave up as well. $180 for a tiny little rod and spring. At least I can get to it with only the seat off.

>>28532532
Older, more established rider segment. It's the same as the outeageous markip on golf equipment.

Kullipesä in Estonian means hawks nest if memory serves.
On the other hand in Finnish Kulli means dick, so it's cocknest.
Me and my mate rode like 600km and a ferry one way just because
>Lmao, cocks.

>>28532539
let’s see that shirt, anon

>meet old coworker while out to lunch
>Oh hi anon, long time no see. are you still with [Company]?
>Oh, you've got a new bike, how is it?
I told the guy I'm just picking up lunch and have to head back to the office to work on some spreadsheets.
The entire ride back was filled with dread as I've become the stereotype. Guess the bike.

>>28532535
for the price of a new 300~500cc dual sport i can easily get a brand new gixxer 750

>>28532564
n-1.

>>28532557
Only people with blood depleted to the point of stable glue will settle for the top speed of a 300-500cc dual sport. Your choice is clear.

>>28532567
you have never ridden a 300-500cc dual sport like it was meant to be ridden

>>28532567
Spoken like someone who brags how fast they are in a straight line.

>>28532572
The gixxer also corners better.

>>28531597
You have a lawsuit here if you want. If you don't like working there, you can get a negotiated exit. If you want to fuck the person who put the sticker on your bike, you can demand an investigation and pulling the security cams, along with the name of the person who tipped HR. And you can get some manner of revenge.
At the very least, I would demand a letter clearing you of any wrongdoing. This way, anything that happens later is "retaliation" and you are in a stronger position.

>>28532567
SIR, you can't buy it, they don't sell the GSXR in India.

>>28532581
What are you talking about? Of course they do.

>>28532576
>loose ground intensifies

>>28532576
On manicured pavement, you queen.

>>28532581
Yamaha lineup in India is even worse, they don't offer anything bigger than R3

>>28532554
Uhh, okay?

Can't wait to call the dealership about repairs again this weekend to be told they still don't have parts.
Part of me half wonder if they had the clutch and brake hand controls off because of they might have cross threaded(I have done it on accident a few times too.)

>>28532608
your bike is gooooooone

>>28532534
If you ride a big H then here's the revised part number. Save yourself some hassle.

>>28532508
Usually it’s because people try to cut it outside the zipper at the last minute
For instance a two lane right exit merging into one, people will drive almost all the way to that exit in the next lane to the left and then try to merge in over the striped white.
If the traffic is really bad they’ll even do it from the next lane over from that, making a four into one that never goes anywhere
There’s one particularly egregious example of this that comes to mind on the cross island in Queens, I think it was exit 30 to the Long Island expressway but it’s been a number of years now

When does r7 and r9 shilling stop? Its too much talking about the same shit.

Why is it that, a lot of the time, when I look at the American site of a Japanese brand, they only offer one color per bike, while in Europe there are several color options?

>>28532581
Gsxr1300r is locally assembled.

>>28532668
Yamaha shills have to desperately grasp at whatever W they can so people forget that they have the most recalls in motorcycle history.
Pity them, don't scorn them.

>>28532675
Why don't they shill the good bikes though? Like T7, VMax, R1, R6 or so many more.

>>28532670
They import fewer models to the USA, and in smaller numbers, so they only import the best selling color ways.

>>28532498 (OP)
someone make the moto guzzy V engine + bmw boxer = motorbike V12 engine happen already dangit

Why does no one bother making a motorcycle helmet sort of like a fighter jet or helicopter helmet where it has integrated ear protection/comms? Something integrated with bose aviation noise cancelling headphones

50% of the time I spend putting all my gear on to ride is spent installing these stupid ear plugs.
And riding with earplugs for multiple hours doesn't even work well and I also want to die

>>28532705
Uhh, they do?

What is the best dual-sports/scrambler bike for manlets to take for some mild off-roading? I'm 5'7/170 cm and on top of that I have a gorilla build with long arms and short legs and at this point I'm pretty used to the butt-shuffling technique, but doing that on a trail seems like a recipe for disaster and the one time I took a friend's Super Tenny for a spin it gave me the heebie jeebies just going across a gentle creek.

>>28532532
>>28532557
I don't know wtf dual sports you're thinking of. Even a Honda 450 is like $2-3k cheaper than a gixxer 750. The Japanese 250s/300s are less than half the price of one. The only "dual sports" I can think of that cost as much as the gixxer are high-end European enduro bikes, which aren't really dual sports.

Big shitter here. I took your guys advice and added more fiber into my diet. Sadly now I'm ending up having to do daily shits, usually middle of the day, which ends up ruining my entire day with the feeling of my butt being weird now after cleaning. You guys have actively ruined biking for me.

I can't post it because I have no idea of the model or name, I think it was some shubert helmet, maybe? Costs like a grand, but it has built in intercom and ear protection, it's a really quiet helmet. My mate has one of them.

hmh... wondering if it'd be completely unstable for the driver when starting the engine or on idle

Which one of you faggots is this?

https://www.youtube.com/shorts/JcOWYa0Fv64

>>28532767
There's also a max displacement issue, even a 1200cc v12/w12 would have teeny tiny 100cc cylinders. I think the goldween's flat 6 is about the biggest bike engine there will ever be.

>>28532742
Does that come with a tourniquet (as all first aid should)

>>28532712
TW200

>>28532782
Probably not. An 800-1200cc v8 could actually work though, and be a hilarious sportbike.

I've had hemorrhoids and what helped is eating prunes and pickles. Eating like 10-15 per day made my shits smoother and less hurty.

I can't wait for this year's Suzuka to see the new CB1000F!

>>28532708
Unless motorcycle engineers have figured out something that helicoptor engineers haven't, you'd still have to wear ear plugs under any integrated ear pro in your helmet.

>>28532812
there's already V8 bikes, but they're straight up a car engine, not my cup of tea, that's why in my mind it'd make sense to use bike engines but 12 of them, why 12? because v12s (in cars) sound extremely good, at least imo they do

>>28532818
I think some kind of digital sound filter pass would just do the trick, maybe I'm wrong

Is there some confusion about what a dual sport is meant to do?

>>28532821
Active noise reduction works fine in helicopters. I see no reason why it wouldn't on a bike except for cost.

>>28532810
I never really understood these, why tw when you can get a xt or a wr or klx Crf…

Very nice qualifying run. Too bad he didn't die. These are the same faggots who punch mirrors (because they got 'cut-off') on your wagie-mobiles.

Any of you anons has seen the analog dash for the guerrilla irl? not much info about it as it looks like they only sell and keep on display the digital ones.
I know the tripper navigation is apparently kinda trash but i wonder what other info you can see on the lcd, and what you can see on the main clock.
i could even consider a beeline moto 2 as replacement for the tripper if i can find one used/if i want to give myself a little gift in the future, both are navigation mirroring but the beeline at least seems like it works fine.
i'm seriously considering it, it's a motorcycle i really like as far as looks and with the discount on the base model and a little trade in bonus i can get it for very cheap, manlet accessible and i always hear it's a nice little peppy engine

>>28532844
Booster maxxer gains are kicking in.

>>28532852
mostly harleys but he was also a chill scoot dude

>>28532865
>beeline moto 2
I only want this for the compass/general direction nav option, but there's just so many other places that $200 is better spent.

>>28532865
Tripper is fine anon, its minimalist, might to similar to your beeline. Does it come with analog dash?

Why this over the himmy? Himmy seems better no?

>>28532894
Do you know how fast you were posting?

>>28532889
lol you killed the hulkster

>>28532875
agree that's why i said it would be a gift for the future if i can find it used. but for not much more than 100€.
and yeah analogue dash has the tripper on the side by default,that's why i think a beeline swap in the future wouldn't be so hard to do if i really wanted to, worst case i can just remove the plastic cover for the clock and draw a new one and get it printed in nylon or something for the seamless look.

>>28532879
Himmy looks amazing and i love the concept but it's heavier,taller and a bit more expensive and i would't do any kind of offroad that the guerrilla with a tire swap wouldn't do.
i'm vertically challenged (5'5") and while current bike is a lot taller i tried for a super short time the guerrilla and it just felt right for me but i couldn't do a real test ride with it just a quick back and fourth on the road (full winter, new tires and salt/water on the road)

>>28532844
Hell no brother
Not like this.

>>28532889
i'll do it tomorrow, you're cocked

The rocket iii and 3 was/is already significantly larger than the gwing
its just impossible to put all the torque on the ground with a bigger engine

>>28532819
a v12 car sounds good because it screams, but i think its more of an RPM thing than a being a v12 thing, maybe i'm tone deaf but a v4 at 16k rpm sounds pretty close
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
one reason giant american slow revving cars and bikes sound so good is because you almost feel like you can distinguish the firing order, and then they roar instead of scream because theyre moving so much volume per power stroke
The ferrarri 6.5L displaces about 540ccs everytime it goes bang, while, say, a 6.2L HEMI displaces 775cc every time.

>>28532875
Different anon but yeah same. I kinda want to get rid of the older phone I'm using for GPS though so I might be back in the market for a beeline 2. Waze no longer works on the older phone.

>>28532708
>50% of the time is installing ear plugs
lifting your hands up to your ears two times shouldnt take very long
stop using foamies, go to an audiologist, and have them make custom inserts for a couple bills
then they just instantly go in, are flush with the cartilage of your ear for maximum comfort, and work perfectly
if you want audio integrated into the plugs or to be able to connect to Bluetooth coms they make that for the hunting world as well, just google "custom fit hunting earplugs with bluetooth"

>>28532921
>6.2L HEMI
sounds amazing ngl

>>28532929
american v8s (before OBAMA) are the greatest sounding cars of all time i dont care what anyone says, and Harleys sound better than any other motorcycle

>>28532933
I like the sound of those, and I also like a whinny V12 car and sports bike

>>28532921
>a v12 car sounds good because it screams, but i think its more of an RPM thing than a being a v12 thing
wrong

Jag V12s are undersquare engines which rev to something like 6k stock iirc at most.

DID SOMEONE SAY V8 MOTORCYCLE HELL YEAH BROTHER ROLL TIDE

>>28532953
If you just want music and phone calls, it might be worth saving a bunch and just getting a Spirit HD. That's what I have and I'm pretty happy with it, could be a little louder but I'm on a bike with no wind protection, wearing a relatively loud dual sport helmet, and use pretty hardcore earplugs, and you can upgrade to the JBL speakers if it's really not enough. Other than coming with the bigger speakers the Packtalk series won't do much for you that the Spirit doesn't.

>>28532997
>and use pretty hardcore earplugs
What do you have?

>>28533001
Surefire EP3 I think. I actually need to get some new plugs, just this last ride I noticed the right one not seating properly anymore.

Aaay mulato, you dress for the slide not the destination.

I can't deal with all these deaths, brothers. It feels like it's all crashing down and it hurts inside.

Thanks. I would kms if I couldn't enjoy music properly.

>>28533009
Same, brother. Normally don't care about celebrity deaths, but Hogan is a bad one. Grew up watching him leg drop mofos. Ozzy, too. I just feel like guys like that are a dying breed, there is no millennial that is just a based larger than life character. F.

Get a KTM 690 or a husky 701 and boom there you go.
I will say that going 110+ on aggressive knobbies is a horrifying experience
>Mfw watching chunks of tread get flung off my tires

>>28532927
Idk I use some alpine ones which you put the plug on the inserting tool and then I have to move all my hair out of the way and push it in but not too far and not far enough and then I have to do the other side and then I usually realise that one is in wrong and I have to pull it out and repeat the process ect.
Would be a lot easier to just slide on helmet, done.

what are anons opinions on this 2020 Katana? Im thinking of making an offer its bone stock and under 5000 kms. Any ideas what its worth? Guys asking 10k canadian dollerinos

>>28533023
I should maybe add that even with the plugs etc. it's way more than loud enough for riding around town, I have it at maybe 70% volume if I'm under 45mph or so, and even at 70+ it's still plenty audible, I just sometimes wish it had like 5-10% more volume when I really want to jam out.

It's also shockingly good at phone calls btw, I've had a bunch where people were really surprised when I told them I was talking to them while riding.

*revs thumper* Actually, m'lady, this vehicle is built for off-road prowess. It is NOT some silly bike for simpletons to do "wheelies" on. What it *can* do is get me to the most remote locations for multiday camping excursions with other enlightened off-road enthusiasts. If you'd like to join us, you'll be needing a trusty steed of your own, because as you can see, mine is already loaded with essential gear and equipment.

If* that happens

Does anybody have a Sena or chink brand comm system? How does it compare to Cardo? I have a freecom4x and the group function pairing has always sucked dick and the speakers are mid as fuck. Have to max out the volume with ear plugs and you get distortion in the speakers at max volume. Forget about any kind of communication over 80 mph. Even at max volume you just can't hear shit from the other person talking.

Why am I not surprised it's an Israeli company. I got mine on a promo deal for $100 so I went for it but I absolutely would not buy Cardo again.

The packtalk is excellent with regards to pairing, me and Harleybro met on a group ride literal months ago. When we had actually planned to ride together 1 on 1 he knew I was at the gas station because it auto paired us as soon as he had visual contact with the gas station
With regards to audio, speaker pucks will always suck dick at the cost of not having to put in earbuds. That said, earbuds with memory foam eartips are unrivaled in terms of audio quality to me and you can plug them right into your cardo cradle. It’s a little wonky to put on ear plugs every time you put on your helmet but that’s the convenience cost of sound quality.
Freecom sucks cock cause it uses Bluetooth connections, shell out $200 for a used packtalk on FBMP and never worry about coms again

Wow so minor.
Easy for you to say when you probably ride occasionally, it's my only vehicle now, I ride everywhere and it's massively inconvenient to degear and regear for everything, so I just want to optimise some of it.

Get a cb300r instead.

Ended up with a free 87 CBR1000F Hurricane. Previous owner rebuilt the carbs, but she's been sitting for ten years. Once I get it running, should I stiffen up the suspension or just leave it be?

>>28533486
New tyres, brakes and then ride for 6 months before changes.

>>28533490
No argument there. Every fluid, including the clutch, is going to have to be changed, but it's only got 25k miles on it.

>>28533496
looks like the previous owner never dropped her. fluids are a must but i dont think servicing the forks or the shock is mandatory. service the fluids and take her for a spin first

>>28533500
Had that exact thought myself. All the plastics are there, no drop damage on any of it. Story I got was the carbs started to bleed, and he rebuilt them before the wife told him to stop riding. I hooked her up to a battery, and she managed to crank over, so the electrical side doesn't have any issues.

>>28532727
>Anon thinks T7 is a bad bike
It's bad because you are a shit rider, that's why.
>>28532712
There is simply no perfect bike, best you can do is go to several shops and try them all so you can see what fit best to you. Due to your height maybe its best for you to pick a 19in front wheel based bike, though you usually find more ADVs than DS with that wheel size. Also Tennies aren't for newbies, they barely got ABS, while other cheaper smaller cc like KTM 390 ADV for example, come with riding modes and TC, you can customize it yourself too I think. You could put offroad ABS so you can lock the rear wheel which is sometimes useful on dirt/mud, yet keep TC on if you aren't going that fast so you don't go lifting your front wheel so much.
As for scramblers, it could either be a Triumph or the new Royal Enfield GRR.

I honestly really like the back end of this bike. Everything today is lightweight, whispy, looks like there's nothing there. This thing weighs a ton and doesn't care, looks like a giant check mark when it's put together. I'm thinking of doing a brakes/indicator LED changeover to be a little more visible.

Why do manufacturers limit features to their bigger bikes when you don't want or even need a big bike? Why cant they make middle weight bikes with fully electronic suspension, cruise control brembi brakes etc?

>>28533178
Ejeas V6+ will do the trick, you can even get it for under $40 shipped with a handlebar controller too. I use mine mainly just to hear music and auto-answer phone calls, it does the job. As for actual ride talking, just use a discord server if you have service, works better than using it normally where it sounds with very low volume when being over 30ft apart, they're ok for a backpack though.

Also fuck Cardo and Sena, overpriced pieces of shit, if you want real quality pick Midland, they make pro radios for a reason the other two shitty companies don't.

>>28533441
I don’t think there’s anything I can say that you’ll believe but I ride 365 here in PA and I only use foamies personally and I don’t find it inconvenient at all.

>>28533441
>>28533535
Also I agree with you gear is annoying so I don’t atgatt, I mainly just wear the helmet, earpro, gloves, but that’s what you’re complaining about and it’s not annoying

>>28533511
you are right on the viffer. i would ask the owner if i can take her for a test ride. i bet she will feel like a boat

I bought brand new 2024 ZX-6R this week. I'm waiting on full exhaust system+new pipe to come in along with chip. In the meantime I need to buy gear. Its been 20 years since I've bought gear so I have no idea what's good.

Does anyone know of a company that sells an all white (or flesh colored) suit without all the stupid logos and shit all over it? I need one to wear under seifuku and shimapan.

Its done. Not that I care because the entire point was to ride it hard until I killed myself. I only got it so I could ride around on roads I know well between midnight at first light as fast as it'll go.

I got it from the dealership and I only purchased a brand new one for the 40th Anniversary paint. I've been riding Kawasaki for a long time. I'm one year younger than the bike they're celebrating and rode for team green in motorcross until they used me up and put me out to pasture. Killing myself on one seemed like a fitting end to a long and painful life. Cosplaying as Raimu seemed like a fun way to go out.

Stick with my japan bike for the moment.

I like riding after rain because the water on the ground sprays up onto the engine and then when I get to my destination I can look at the steam coming off the engine and it looks really cool.

>>28533752
Rain riding is kino as far as you are properly geared and dry. Also its cool to accellerate and feel the rear sliding sometimes.

Good morning sirs.

Lil 125s are getting cruise control lol. What does chat think about cruise control on lil biaks?

>>28533776
Making bikes needlessly expensive.

>>28533766
NTA, I rode a 150cc naked with street tyres on dirt and the rear came out, I instinctively gave more throttle, was I lucky? IDK, I was calm and during the skid and I was glad to have not damaged the bike and have a bad fall, I want to do it again, but I don't have a small bike to do it on.

>>28533786
It won't be expensive, it has always been priced under 1k usd so far.

>>28533479
>What being vifferlet does to a man
Sad. Shoudda never sold the honder. Honder guards your finances.

>>28533776
Cruise control is just outright admitting that the road is so boring that you don't want to ride it any more so you get a machine to do it for you. It doesn't belong on bikes and if you find yourself using it on a bike either you're on the wrong road or you shouldn't be on a bike. 125cc bikes shouldn't even be on a highway anyway so they double don't need it.

>>28532712
Himmy is the answer sirs, join the himmy gang. It was made for short people. If you are too short, Trail 125.

>>28533776
Can you use cruise control to help keep a wheelie going? That's the only reason I can think of.

>>28533805
>125cc bikes shouldn't even be on a highway
It's fun at night when no one is around but I keep the distance to a max of 3 or 4 exits worth.

>>28533809
Yo, never thought of that, it could fix my non-existent wheelie skills.

>buy RK ZXW Black Scale chains that should be black and gold
>they arrive, but I don't inspect the box
>take bike to shop along with new tires, sprockets and chain
>bike comes back with chains that are in fact not black and gold
They assured me they put on the parts I brought them, as they don't even have sprockets and chains. Does pic related look like a brand new chain to you? Am I getting fucked or am I just paranoid????

>>28533776
It's good because you don't need to hold the throttle wide open for extended periods so you take some strain of your wrist and you can even take your half off the throttle for a few seconds to stretch. I imagine most people on here haven't actually experienced riding long distance and high speed (relative) on a buzzy little 125. I've never used cruise control though, so hopefully it actually adjust the throttle position to maintain a set speed and isn't just a throttle position lock because it's going to slow down a lot on inclines.

Breaking the rear free is super common on dirt, practically every corner. It's good practice for street, too. If you break your rear free on the road you at least know how to keep it rubber down

>>28533485
But why

>>28533776
cute blocky vino girl

>>28533860
It's hardly ever a need, but it'd be nice to have. And with a lot of bikes having throttle by wire it wouldn't really add much to the cost. There's less argument against it than there is for.

>tfw bike got caged yesterday.
I wonder if a pdr place could get this out. My concern is that the lower pan and gasket are tweaked over in a way that no longer has it waterproof.

>>28533805
If it was once done without computers, I think it’s okay. Cruise control was once done with a throttle lock, so it’s okay if it’s on a bike. On the other hand, rider aids can only be done by computer, and therefore do not belong on a motorcycle.
Cruise control on a bike or in a cage have the same function for me: gawking at scenery without dangerously slowing down on the freeway. Enjoying the view off the freeway as it rolls by is a great joy when traveling. If I see no ones around on the highway, I’ll often end up rolling down the road at 35mph just to enjoy it.

>>28533776
>125cc-250cc
Okay, whatever. Your money, but I'd rather put mine towards something else.

Otherwise, people never need it, or they regularly get stuck on interstates for an hour or more at a stretch. And given enough time, most of the latter group is going to gravitate to larger bikes with more premium touring features anyway.

Live traffic and weather, not sure what else. The basic GPS/nav works without a subscription. We'll see, I'll post a review here since no one seems to know much about the device or service.

just think of all the things I could buy with that.
- most of a small coffee
- a pack of gum (2 if i'm in a state with no tax)
- 30 minutes of basic service with your mother

This couldn't even run it's own operating system. I couldn't get far enough in to install Waze. You're right, it was 2GB, I didn't even think to check. My assumption was - if it's available for sale, it must work at at least a very basic, minimal level, which is all I needed. I don't think this phone is technically legal to sell, I found it's not fit for purpose.

Anywho, I cost Bezos some money by destroying all of the packaging for the phone, the phone case, and the motorcycle mount. and I kept the charging cable. then I got to bitch at Sandaljeep via live chat for a few minutes. I also took a stinky shit in the Whole Foods bathroom when I returned it. All in all, the experience was worth my while.
