Are those bars longer/wider than normal bars or does it just look like it due to the empty space where the controls normally would be?

So the Jews are selling this magnet to change lights for $20. Is anyone using a cheap one to do the same thing? I figure you ought to be able to order a $2 big neodymium magnet that will do the same thing.

I made them a little long because sometimes I have to strap it down using the bit that sticks out on the inside of the clamps, but mostly it's the controls and different m/c and clutch perch

hayyyy guise
getting my nanner ready for the 110+ degree summers out here. for the next 4 months, it be hot mayne.
i have an '04 ninja 250, 5000 miles on the clock. i just changed my oil and filter (using 20w-50 from 10w-40) and now im getting ready to flush the coolant out for the summer. its the green shit, possibly original. no bueno.
i bought some Engine Ice on the way home from work - i hear this shit is awesome, keeps stuff cooler and all that. guy at the parts store told me i have to be sure i flush out every bit of the old coolant or the engine ice and the old stuff will "gel" if they mix together.
question: -i asked him wat he meant by flush. he said just filled er up with distilled water, run it for a few minutes, shut it off and drain it and doing that once should be enough.
i asked him if i had to make sure the t-stat opened up while im running it with distilled water, he said not sure.
so: should i run it till its up to temp with the distilled water before i drain it to "flush" it? should i do that more than once or was he exagerating the problem?

Aiden Wilson
Meh. Everyone has a flat black bike.
Ayden Russell
Yeah run it until you feel the heat in the radiator. If the thermostat doesn't open it won't really flow much.
I also heard to mix distilled vinegar with water 50/50 for flushing. Might want to read up a bit on that to see if there's benefits.
Make sure your radiator fan works. You might want to install a manual switch for it so you can get it blowing before it gets really hot.
Chase Long
How do you respond when normies ask what WAT is?

does my '82 rebel count?
Ayden Evans
That guide recommends beginners to buy a Ninja, but what if I want a cruiser? Is a 250 Rebel the equivalent?

Parker Perez
250 Rebels are slow as balls, they can barely manage 80mph, if that.
Cruisers in general are heavier and don't make as much power so you can usually get away with riding much bigger displacement ones as long as you can manage the weight.
Get at least a 500+ cc cruiser, anything under that will feel slow as balls.
David Nguyen
Nope.

Passing power is nice sometimes.
Plus not having to wind the fuck out of the engine to do highway speeds is comfy too.
Buy whatever you want, user. Rebel 250's aren't exactly going to depreciate hugely in the future so you're not going to make a big loss if you have it for a couple of months then sell it.
Ryder Jenkins
You'll probably still want something that doesn't take 30+ seconds to just barely reach the speed limit at its top speed.
Jose Kelly
Honestly the 250cc starter thing is to be taken with a grain of salt. 650 v-twin bikes are way different the 600 inline SS bikes where the fear of big cc's comes from. You can still get in trouble with a 650 v-twin but if you're not retarded you'll be fine.
Further more cruiser type bike engine displacement is totally different to sport bike engine displacement. A 650cc v-twin cruiser's power is very different compared to a 650cc v-twin sport bike. Anything smaller than a 650 cruiser is worthless imo.
Brody Phillips
customized quite a bit on it, didn't like how it looked stock but it was cheap enough to still be cheaper than getting a different bike and not buying more shit for it than my gf buys shit for her cat.
Mason Smith
Nothing wrong with wanting something more to your liking man. I'm wanting to get something painted on my batwing fairing. Just no idea what yet. I'm leaning toward the planet express logo though

I have a confession. I live an hour and a bit away from Port Dover. I didn't go to the Friday the 13th at Dover.
I know some people ride across Canada and America just to go to Dover. So I feel a little bad about that. I've been riding for three years now and I've never been. But it seems like it's a bunch of older people parking motorcycles (usually cruisers) and listening to radio friendly rock n' roll. Just not my idea of fun. Am I wrong about Dover on Friday the 13th? I've been through Dover outside of that. It's a nice enough place.
Think I should go next year, /dbt/?
Noah Wilson
got a "82 rebel, 650cc version though.
rides pretty fucking comvertable and easy to handle but pulls a wheelie quite fast when taking off while having a fuckedup centerofmass, its leftheavy and the shocks are shit making your first 50km+ speedbump ....intresting.
tops out at 190km accelerating slowly from 170km+

You will quickly change your mind once you actually start. Get something that isn't dangerously slow.
Chase Sullivan
welp i know teh fan works in fact last night when i parked it after riding home from work (13 miles ride at 55mph, 8k rpm a lot) the fan had been kicked on. it ran for about 15 seconds then shut off, but ive known it ran in the past.
why am i going to be waiting til i feel heat in the radiator when im idling it with distilled water? when the radiator is warm thats when ill know the thermostat is open? i figured i'd be feeling the cylinder jug for warmth considering thats where the coolant goes when the stat opens up.
but i work in the car repair industry so i may be wrong on how the cooling system functions. thoughts? appreciate the tip. i think ill steer clear of the vinegar thing.
Nolan Reyes
have an red anarchy logo on my madmax bike, don't have a picture of the other side on the laptop, ill upload it when i'm home.

Yes. >i figured i'd be feeling the cylinder jug for warmth considering thats where the coolant goes when the stat opens up. The heat is coming from the engine, so you that will be the first thing to get warm. You will know the coolant is flowing when the heat has moved from there to the radiator.
Landon Jenkins
Cool, piss off then.
Gabriel Nelson
You know bikes more than I do
Makes sense, thanks user.
Also, what would you say is the mileage equivalent for a used road bike compared to a car? Say 100k miles on a car.
Jose Diaz
Bikes will go forever if taken care of. Don't buy anything with more than 50k miles.

Leo Lewis
excellent thanks bud!
last question: when idling teh bike with the water in it - can i leave the rad cap off, or do i have to leave it on to build pressure so it will warm up like in a car? just trying to avoid the whole "pressurized, hot cooling system radiator cap removal explosion" thing that tends to go down.
had a bad experience with that in my first few years as a professional tech lol. :\
John Reyes

>You know bikes more than I do What does knowing bikes have to do with knowing what you like
High pegs and low bars are for stable cornering and being able to get down below the fairing. If you were doing high speed cornering all the time (eg. a track) it would likely be more comfortable because it wouldn't take so much energy to hang on to the bike but it's not designed to be comfy just sitting on it.
Lincoln Moore
300?
Looks like some 2-stroke KTM from 2000-2007.
Camden Johnson
also dude weed lmao, ive been confusing cooling systems. of course it'll be flowing when the rad is hot. i knew that, but apparently cannabis and problem solving dont mix.
dont tell my mom.
Angel Baker
Yes, put the cap on before you run the bike. Then let it completely cool off before you take the cap back off.

I've never been to any big bike meets. But if they're all like that, I'll probably stay away and just ride. It's good to try new things. It's also good to not waste your time.

Running lean can actually make it hotter. You should probably fix that.
Michael Hall

Ryder Gomez
Do all 4 wheels need to be attached to an assembled bike?
Thomas Ward
that's just the transmission doing its thing. Are you talking about going into gear from neutral or 2nd gear? It could be because le input shaft isn't matching speed with le output shaft, so you need to le revmatch if shifting from neutral
Benjamin Jones
380, the big daddy. It's too much bike for woods riding or racing at my feeble skill level, but for the street its better than a wound out 250
About 3 weeks ago. I've only had it out a couple of times so far due to the racing schedule. There's a huge hare scramble community here and a large ORV park in town.

started to use it for fucking around practicing wheelies and shit like that, found out that matblack spraypaint magically fixes all dents and scratches so after every fall i just sprayed the fuck out of the scratch and poof it was gone, magic.
then i hit a roundabout going 120km.
not a fan of hard saddlebags nor windshields on cruisers but goddamn that looks comfortable as fuck to ride, topspeed?
