Let's discuss the KLR650. They call this thing a dualsport even though it's shaped like an adventure bike to my eye. As far as I understand it, it's really like the most recent common ancestor of both of those categories. I watched a couple videos and I find myself attracted to the bike even though it kind of seems like a piece of shit. Heavy, slow, analog, comfy tractor.. Is it worth buying one even though I have a 2021 CRF300 and a 2023 CBR650 neither of which I will be selling?
>>27638385With the bikes you have no. It's an unkillable adv. Not great at anything but a true work horse.
>>27638385The CRF should do everything the klr does, some things a bit worse some things a lot better.Then again you can never have enough bikes
Did about an hour of recording and the mic was not plugged in. :S
Okay. I guess the mic was plugged in. Some of the videos have audio and some of them do not.

Do you have to be a twink to own a sport bike?
>>27638449Such as?
>>27638560It helps, as if you are a bigboi its extra weight in the track which is so unfair.You need to be strong though, like a power-bottom

>>27638306based kike hater
>>27638385I want to get rid of my 2008 klr650, probably for something like a svart/vitpilen 401. Maybe that's dumb, but the KLR is slow and really not fun to ride any faster than 60-65 mph. For how fat and tall it is, it feels very floaty on the highway and disconnected from the road. I'd honestly rather have a Grom that I know can't do 60 vs a bike that can do 60 but feels like shit the whole time.
>>27638547I am too much of a ludite
>>27638590Nah do it, its all good. You are riding.
>>27638587>klr is slow so I'll buy an even smaller singlebrother what are you thinking
>>27638587What do you want for the KLR?
>>27638590Or post to youtube at least.
>>27638595That's exactly why I said it might be dumb.>>27638596I feel like every KLR is $3500 regardless of miles or accessories. If someone had a husqy or Duke 390 I'd probably put some dosh on top for a trade.
>>27638599I do post to YouTube. When I say I am a ludite I mean I do not know how to change mp4 to webm.I have to edit the footage then I will upload.

I want to replicate Arnie from T2, what should i put on the shopping list to buy, including clothes, boots, and motorcycle?
>>27638256I have a question : I want to get a scooter, but I'm also so fucking cheap it's to the point of mental illness. That's not a joke. My options are also limited. I'm an American, and there's one dealer within 300 miles of me. I'm not comfortable with an out of state sale, so my options are limited to a new 50cc taotao, or waiting months for a used 50cc taotao with no titles to pop on craiglist.There's an idea that's been josting around in my mind. Why not convert or modify a dirt bike or mini bike to be street legal? They appear more often on used sites for $200 less than a new taotao, and even a local hardware store has a Coleman B200R, but I'm never riden a minibike. Online states say the speed is 23mph, and that with carb adjustments a taotao can actually reach 40+ (and that the carbs are adjusted to meet inspection standards).Anyone ever heard or done such a thing? And thoughts at all?picture is unrelated.

>>27638600Get an older transalp a 700 if you can find one it that price range. Can do all the klr off road stuff, cheap and reliable but can also go highway speeds just fine.
>>27638627It gets worse...>VFRs are getting cannibalised for that single-sided swingarm for streetfighters
>>27638626Those are about $35 grand. I'm looking more in the price range of $800.I want to taste the vroom, not invest in a car.

what do we think about a supercharged versys 1000? i personally think it looks great and will probably be fun as fuck. apparently bimota is already making an adv tourer with the same engine and kawasaki might make something in their own flavor because why not if its their engine anyway.

Anons, never fucking ever take your bike to the dealer to work on. They called me today after 3 weeks and fucking LOST MY BIKE. It's been reported as stolen, but she's gone bros. They stole my TW200 :(
I like motorcycles.
>>27638836It's always an inside job. It means they hire drug addicts.
>>27638836That sucks, sorry bro.
>>27638839It sure seems that way. Either they did some gross negligence or someone nicked it. >>27638840Thanks bro, learn from my mistake. Just buy the wrench.
>>27638836Fake n gay
>>27638851I thought it was a fake story too. Why would a TW200 be in a dealership for 3 weeks?
>>27638836Holy shit what city?
>>27638852For clout
>>27638851>>27638852Dude I wish. I had a rusty chain bind up inside the front sprocket and took it there so I wouldn't have to deal with a chain tool and also have them see if it did any other damage. They had a two week lead time due to all the polaris and SxS boomers needing stuff.
>>27638878>They had a two week lead time due to all the polaris and SxS boomers needing stuff.OK that makes sense. Sorry for doubting you, bro.
>>27638879It's okay. Legitimately when they called saying they lost it I thought they were fucking with me. >>27638856I don't want to say, but it's a poor one.
>>27638884You DO NOT file this with your insurance. It was in their possession, their insurance is responsible for the theft.
>>27638884I hope you have a paper trail nigger.
>>27638891Shut the fuck up, faggot. He didnt say shit about insurance. Fucking cringe ass nerd tryna chime in like a knowitall.
>>27638884The the shop doing anything or are they avoiding the problem?
>>27638891>>27638893I talked to my lawyer when I was in the parking lot waiting for the police to not show up b/c apparently they don't bother anymore. Apparently the specific legal term for this relationship is Bailment. The legal side is being handled, but it's a big L because that was the bike I was never gonna sell and is fairly sentimental. I'm only telling you all because my non-biker friends don't get it.
>>27638902who tf steals a tw200 at a dealer tho, it's so odd. Hope you get reimbursed for more than it's worth, financially and sentimentally. Absolute insanity to let something like that happen at a dealer
>>27638334Is that your photo? Is that a 350?I want a DR350 SO bad.
>>27638836What the fuck>It's been reported as stolenDid THEY tell you that? or did you actually contact the police?You need a case number. Post around on your local facebook page and leave a review on their business about it.
Remaining Tenny bros where are you?I know there is another blue 21 in aus somewhere, and a black 22. Maybe another white 21.Im sure we have more.T7s unite!
>>27638895Lol wut. Please kill yourself you goofy little bitch.
>>27638924thank you for documenting the downfall of /dbt/ with this collage
>>27638911I have a case number, I also talked to the cops independently to confirm they weren't faking. >>27638907Right? Part of me wonders if they didn't run it over or some shit and are faking the stolen to avoid paying for the whole thing.>>27638896They're slow playing but are offering to send it to their insurance. Gonna let it play out for a bit while I also go search to see if it's in any of the crackhead encampments. USA is on the downhill slide anons. Act accordingly
>>27638907A few possibilities.>Small and easy to throw in the back of a truck or trailer while someone is there picking up something else.>Kids snatched it for lulz.>Inside job.>One of these people saw it sitting their for two weeks and thought no one would notice.
>>27638774>>27638730>does the key work with the immobilizer system?>It should, the ignition is still the same, I only replaced my blown engine with a "running" onenow that the other anon mentions it, i had this problem when someone stole my old cbr600f4 and i was trying to figure out the anti-theft system (it was just a 100R resistor). the bike would crank and not start but occasionally backfire. as the other anon says it might be worth double checking the immobilizer or ECU. good luck anyway

>>27638936>USA is on the downhill slide anons. Act accordinglyYour not joking. I carry theft coverage on my bike by default now. In the US pickup trucks are so prevalent out side of cities there is basically nothing you can do while away from home.>Right? Part of me wonders if they didn't run it over or some shit and are faking the stolen to avoid paying for the whole thing.Extremely rare but dealerships have accidently mixed up vehicles and sold a costumers one before.
>>27638908Yeah that’s me circa 2011. I dug up a bunch of old bike looks. Do yourself a favor and do not buy a 1991 model like I had. Get 1993 or later because they have electric start. The DR350s were a bitch to kick start. Sometimes it took 2-3 kicks. Sometimes 20.
>>27638599Finished editing. Exporting the file and uploading shortly. Make a short because no one watches the full clip and full clip for no one to watch but for me to have as an eternal mark on the internet. Just like those weird Russian videos you can find on youtube of random CCTV
>>27638424>>27638966I kind of want to start doing you tube videos for fun but it seems so cringe. I've thought about getting a cheap akaso camera just to see if I enjoy it.
>>27638940They claimed they hadn't even fixed it yet, so if it wasn't inside job, maybe a forest meth head saw them leave a door open and tried to roll it out for scrap. >>27638944>>27638961Keep eyes in the back of your head, but also it seems like the default position of businesses and institutions are becoming very third-worldish. The sick joke is it's a yamaha dealer so I could strong arm them into a deal on a new bike, but all they have are ptwins lol.
>>27638956Nice
>>27638974>I could strong arm them into a deal on a new bike, but all they have are ptwins lol.Yeah fuck that, make them or their insurance cut a cheque. Take your business elsewhere.
>>27638972It's only cringe if you care about subscribers and likes. If you are doing it just to throw shit onto youtube it's classic 2008-2013 youtube.
>>27638977I have that patch n sticker as well
>>27638982100% not ever going there again, but it gave me a giggle looking at over half the bikes in the yamaha deal having the same CP2 engine.
>>27638974You know one thing that may have happened. Someone at the dealer may have taken it for a joy ride and wrecked it. Then ditched it somewhere and lied to their boss.
>>27638965>Get 1993 or later because they have electric startI've gotta get one with a kickstart, but there must be a way to install a kickstart WITH an electric start right?I think street legal kickstart models still had a battery, and I'm sure someone has installed a kickstart onto an electric model. There can't be TOO many differences.Do the Dr350s's have two spark plugs like the DR650?
>>27638256this thread sucks!
>>27638974>but all they have are ptwins lolMt09 would be acceptable if they could order you one.
>>27638972Here's just the short. The full upload will take a while.https://youtube.com/shorts/LTLHWpt2OAc?si=KtIB2Yc7mbKMM37R
>>27638992That very well could be, I'm gonna go scout around for it later this evening / tomorrow morning.
>>27638993They switched to electric in 1995 actually. My bad. Get an earlier model then. They weren’t so bad to kickstart but you need to make sure it’s exactly at TDC. I’m just jaded from having to start that thing on many cold New England winter nights after class. It only has one spark plug.
>>27639004They had an XSR900 (which looks better in person than the pics let on), but I'm just not into triples. Plus I already have my CBR for my sports needs. Tempted to look at trail125's to fill the smoll bike role, but it's too soon :(

>>27639065>the 999 was about 122rwhp.might as well take the truck
>>27639051Well it's a twin so no, but the the Ducucky 999 made one fiddy and the Panigale V2 is at least slight progress at 155. This is TL1000S performance, basically, close to a VTR1000F as well. I mean the engine is just straight the fuck out of a Duke because they are doing the bare minimum for a World Supersport bike, anyways.

>>27639158It’s expensive to develop new engines and the Jews are pushing pisstwins on everyone. Look how many retards here have fallen for that meme. >>27639161Super not based take. Triples are the best of all worlds. Low end torque and top end power.

>>27639248mhm
>>27639220Start at the outside of the corner and work your way into the apex with a consistent even throttle and then as you exit the apex you apply more throttle as you come out. Doing what you’re doing is dangerous because amongst other things, the suspension isn’t loaded properly. You should also be able to hold that line through the turn. There shouldn’t be a need to correct your turn in the middle of it. This is how people end up riding into oncoming traffic when going around a bend.
>>27639198For me it's the fake swingarm wing which is actually just some extra shit hanging off the lower fairing.
>>27639220>How should I corner?decelerate on the way in (roll off or lightly brake), accelerate on the way out. you could probably learn something from the motojitsu yt
>>27639248>>27639258Are you guys implying there is something wrong with that adorable woman's face?

>>27639050Gorgeous scenery. I dream of someday riding in road runner country like that. Pretty sure my shadow would overheat after ten minutes
>>27639285Oh word? That sucks. I like big asian girls. Not fat but tall and powerful like R. Crumb drew them
I rode my bike for the first time in like 4 months after I tore my MCL on some road salt. I was a bit scared at first and stalled a couple times. I got really from rusty doing the low speed stuff. I need to work out more and regain my strength.
>>27639308I'm glad your back out there. Take it easy and focus on the joy of riding
Just tore my mcl on saturday feels bad but i got a pretty good brace and am walking around feels ok as long as i don't move in specific directions

how do burgers get away with this? i'm not a fan of cops in general but this has gotta signal a big "fuck you" to the police
>>27639062Cool bike i4 bro
>>27639474A lot of cops ride and if they don’t, they know a ton of coos who do. Police give motorcyclists a lot of leeway unless they’re doing something really egregious. I had a cop pull up behind me while I was doing 95mph in a 70mph zone to let me know he was there. I switched lanes, slowed down and he drove off. If I was in a car doing that I would have gotten a huge ticket.
>>27639482its the legendary zx25r!!
>>27639483i wish i lived in a place where police existed for public safety. here their main objective is revenue raising, they're forced to meet quotas so even 3% over the speed limit is a big fine. moto cops are usually the biggest cunts too. they'll also let the speeding audio go then go after the poorfags in shitboxes/on shitbikes because they know they can pin them for multiple fines

>>27639484It was a sweet bike
>>27639345Damn not again. Fuckin mcl never going to heal
>>27639483A cop in northern bumfuck Maine pulled me over doing 100 right after I crossed back in from New Brunswick. He lectured me about the laws and the danger of moose and then said he has the same bike at home in his garage and let me go.
>>27639492Sold!>>27639464TIDDIES N GIXXERS
>>27639490Don’t misunderstand the police in the U.S. are here for revenue generation first, crime prevention second, protection third. In fact the U.S. Supreme Court ruled the the police have no duty to protect citizens, only to uphold the law when it is broken. That’s why we don’t want to give up our guns. If I can’t protect me and mine, no one will.

>>27639546well done. i'm doing my fork seals and some fuckwit loctited the damping rod bolt, not budging with my impact driver
>>27639557Damn... lost a Lotta good frens at the nacho cheese fountain
the best way to learn how to "ride as if you're invisible" is on a road bike at night with no lights, because you literally ARE invisible and don't have any passing power beyond like 20mph. a motorcycle is safe as fuck by comparison
>>27639601okay
>>27639601ok nobike
>>27639616seriously, just having a headlight that you can't forget to charge or bring with you makes a motorcycle feel much safer at night than a road bike. and the same habits that keep you alive on the road bike work on the motorcycle, it just goes a lot faster and you don't have to pedal it
>>27639511 (checked)>TIDDIES N GIXXERSBEST STATE BROTHER HELL YEAH
>>27639657Gixxer is best bike
>>27639558apply heat (rub your dick on it)
>>27639220The biggest dummy dumb dumb thing you're doing is pulling in the clutch into the corner. Don't do that because if something comes up mid corner you'll have no way of controlling the bike.You're also quite choppy in the corners. Bikes is a smoothness game, all your inputs have to be smoooooth, in the corner you want to be smooooth, if you want to be fast you have to be smooooooooooth etc.
>>27639050>mfw dumps the clutch on a 15mph corner
>>27639691yeah all fixed with a bit of propane, according to the manual it's supposed to have threadlocker but this was high temp stuff
>>27638385Great bike to fuck around with as they are very cheap (got one from 1987) and sturdy. Really good for some diy modding. If you are interested just get a gen a or b klr for less than 1500 eurodollars and just see if it suits you
>>27639389なるほど...
>>27639558Idk what that is but if the bolt is longer than like 3-4 inches, you need a massive ass impact for it because the bolt is too long and acts like a spring absorbing all the impact blows

Anybody know what bike this is at 12:30? Sounds good.https://youtu.be/VLJGgRKKWW4?t=747
What's the best carburated/mostly analog thumper money can buy? I wanna polish up my wrenching skills by molesting and taking apart a baiku and then rebuilding it.Most I've ever done is carbs and fixing/calibrating chains/tyres.
>>27639756looks like a 2014 z1000 but could be wrong. kawasakis sound great btw
>>27639771dr650 perhaps
>>27639781Thank you, anon.
>>27639771sounds like a waste of time tbdesu. if you ride shitbikes you'll eventually have a reason to work on them. otherwise might be worthwhile if you can find an old classic or factory racer to fix up and sell
>test rode a pooinloo 650>expected it to be shit because that's my takeaway from online discussion>engine feels great albiet underpowered>gearbox is like butter and actually better then my drz400 or dl1000>weighs a ton but feels light >solid through corners>abs isnt honda intrusiveness tier the internet lied to me these arent bad for the price
>>27638936They're responsible for what happens to your bike when it's in their custody. Their insurance should be paying you for your new bike. If they won't buy you a new bike you need to walk into their office and stab everyone in there to death.
>>27639771idk about best because there are so many, but you can shove an FCR carb into a lot of thumpers and even carbed multi cylinder bikes. FCR 39,40,41 etc.>honda xr650r>drz400
>>27639685BHY
>>27639220Do all your braking before you lean it over.Once you lean it over, crack open the throttle.ONCE THE THROTTLE IS CRACKED OPEN, IT IS ROLLED ON EVENLY, SMOOTHLY, AND CONSTANTLY THROUGHOUT THE REMAINDER OF THE TURN.If you're not accelerating when leaned over, then your control (read: traction) will suffer
>>27639818>If you're not accelerating when leaned over, then your control (read: traction) will suffertrail braking bros... how will we recover??
week 2 of my bike in the shop. I miss my bike bros
>>27639829by releasing the brakes slowly while tipping into the corner and accelerating when we want to stand up the bike again behind the apex, its that easy

What is the point of clipons? What do they do that a normal bar doesn't?
>>27639897get you tucked in and low so you can corner at 300kmh
>>27639915Makes sense
Anyone got experience with old (1980s) japanese cruisers? I'd like to try cruising for a change and they look nice and are very inexpensive.
>>27640066Yes. My second bike was a 1981 Yamaha XS1100 special. I’ve also restored an 82 Honda CB900c and rode it for a bit. The motors are very powerful and fun but the braking is not good compared to more modern bikes.
>nooooooo!!!!! You can’t destroy my mirrors just because I nearly killed you!!!!!!>because destruction of property is heckin bad okay???Genuinely why do cagers seethe so much about this, can they not afford to replace a mirror under the crushing debt of their toy payments? I’ve started slapping mirrors for minor infractions now just because they get so pissed about it
>>27640070>1981 Yamaha XS1100 specialthose 80s i4 cruisers are so cool
>>27640071>Genuinely

>>27640088Aren’t they just for show?
>>27640088Possibly the worlds lowest rectifier operating temps.
>>27640091Cannot confirm myself, but I believe the successive models (B and C) had more functional intake tubeamajigs.
>>27640093I thought you upgraded
Getting a lot better at keeping it at balance point, but my steering could use some improvement. Especially if there’s a cross wind.
Finally got my european A2 license to ride big bikes, third attempt. I changed to a driving school with a gs500, I'm a suzukifag now and rin is my wife

>>27640000Do these still handle weird?
>>27640188>took you long enough to passIn Spain the a2 exam is fucking bullshit, and in my city you have to do the slow part in an incline. I was the only one who pass it and we were six. That's the exam if you want to see ithttps://youtu.be/a3KDOi5INEQ?feature=shared
Thanks for the advice on cornering. I will try it out. The reason I pulled the clutch in was just rolling downhill. I will stop doing that (read:traction). It's too bright today.

>>27640083Yeah next time I go back I'm gonna rent it againNo other bike I've ridden comes close to the fun factor
>>27638711I say zix. So zx12 would be zixit (the 2 looks like a T to me).In the ame vein, the zx6r is the zixer, the zx10 is the zixo, and the zx4r is an embarrassment.
bump
>>27638699Does it backfire out the exhaust or intake? It's common for donor engines which were running pulls to have stuck or clogged fuel injectors. If so let your mechanic know you have the old set to swap out.Your factory service manual shows how to check timing. Never be without one. There is no excuse. Most people fuck up doing things "their way" instead of methodically copying success and asking experienced pro mechanics online (fora, rebbit, whatever works).
>>27638878>I had a rusty chain bind up inside the front sprocketStrange description. Did chain break and jam between sprocket and engine case or what? If chain is crap I slice them off with an angle grinder.>>27638936>USA is on the downhill slide anons. Act accordinglyIt wasn't better in ancient times either. Every of many independent shop owners of the many I've met began wrenching because dealers and other shop owners boned them. >>27638942Some cars and trucks do that shit too. Anything in volume production should have someone who figured it out if the FSM lacks a decent fault tree.
>>27638993>I've gotta get one with a kickstart, but there must be a way to install a kickstart WITH an electric start right?>There can't be TOO many differences.That's not how machinery works. There are many posts on the subject which took seconds to verify. https://www.thumpertalk.com/forums/topic/1400199-adding-dr350s-electric-start/"yes. you'll need an engine, wiring harness, CDI, bigger battery, different intake manifold, airboot and carburetor.much easier to get a 94-up SE"If bike is in good shape an engine swap could be worth doing since it's so easy. I'd check with online salvages. As with most such older bikes good complete engines may be hard to source.Thumpertalk is always worth a look to see what swaps others might have done.
>>27639165Year? >>27639169Yes. If someone manages to clog a bike filter it's because they destroyed the engine. Next time best order online in advance and if keeping vehicle order several which also averts inflation-related assrape (unless u liek bottoming, I don't judge). Not making store trips for filters or oil is pure win.
