>Since vehicles are already relatively heavy and require a strong, reliable power and not a high power draw, there isn't a whole lot to gain from switching to LiPo at this point.

pedrosa gets all the chicks.

Was my recommendation for battery delete correct? is there other ways to do it other than swapping alternator for magneto and adding a lighting coil.

>I didn't read the fine print, that's certainly possible.
Yeah it's a bit sneaky. Just gotta compare stuff like that to the rates in the end. I wouldn't recommend financing a bike just because of insurance alone though. Credit rating doesn't really exist in the same way here as what you guys have to deal with though.

I love Suzuki!

i bet you have a flat black helmet too.

faggot.

>I don't understand anything about anything
Cute, kid.

Batteries have built in circuits that prevent over charging and under discharging. The housing that the cells are built into is a fire barrier that expands in the event of a short circuit to prevent released gasses exploding.
Manufacturers of modern smart phones like Samsung have been using high density lipo batteries in their premium devices for years now.

some guy got killed at the CMRA race yesterday, he was another novice one place above me in the points standings. first fatal accident in at least 10 years

roadracingworld.com/news/competitor-killed-during-race-event-at-motorsport-ranch/

in other news, i had a horrible weekend due to a ruined rear tire (got oil on it last month and the left shoulder turned to goo) but at least i didnt crash.

>hating on matte black helmets

found the pleb

did he die?

also where are my stickers.

How's dbt this lovely evening?

I do! Another in matte anthracite

just got up from a nap and now its too late to ride since I have some shit around the house to do.

how was yours?

Cool. The LiPos I used didn't have any of that shit.

Alright, wishing it would go faster, get to ride this thing tomorrow

Bored, pissed off, out of alcohol, sharted earlier, broke. Where can I sign up to go hunt poachers?

>250
>wishing it would go faster
of course

Medium.
>tfw procrastinating
I shouldn't do this to myself.

Do street bikes use flat rate suspension that has consistent damping/spring rate through the entire stroke, or is the damping and spring pressure progressive as it compresses more?

kek

Just got in from riding, orders pizza. They fucked up n bright me 3 pizzas. So it's going pretty ok.

Nice! I had to wipe mine down today. Rising in the rain makes the white look like shit :/
That's nice though, where you gonna ride it?
I know that feeling man. I'm pretty sure most west African countries you can sign up for that

Depends on the bike.

Also, in today's adventure came across one of these

A supersport?

By the looks of the swingarm there is no linkage so I am guessing relatively flat rate, but maybe they use something like the WP PDS shock to get progressive damping.

I procrastinate the fuck outta things. The struggle is real

Batman as fuck

taking that and the crf out to this place, there are some 100km+ single trails in that area that are a hell of a lot of fun.

I bet that would set really good lap times on the Newburgerkingring

Depends on the bike. Stop trying to put all bikes into classes thinking they are all the same within that class. That isn't how it works.

Is it okay to split the carpool lane and the fast lane in Cali? I thought about doing it but I didn't because that's probably a reason why a cop would pull me over

post some good bike crashes

>I don't understand anything about anything

Don't throw stones in glass houses you fuckwit.

>batteries have built in circuits
SOME batteries do.

>The housing that the cells are built into is a fire barrier that expands in the event of a short circuit to prevent released gasses exploding.
I think this is just plain wrong.

Motorcycles are NOT smartphones, user.

Fuck yea man. Street tires do ok on that terrain?

Was a small framed guy who rode it as well. Idk how the fuck he hits corners on it

I hate all you fags, i hope you fags get raped by tyrones and die of aids.

The Holy list repels the Skid demom.

what about chain clearance? got any pics of the left side?

But generally that is how it works. Similar to how all MX bikes use linkage rear suspension in order to provide more progressive spring tension as it gets further into the stroke.

Look at the 2009 CBR600RR then. Flat rate springs or progressive?

>mfw 19 years old and wanting to get a sport bike

I don't know if I even want to look at insurance quotes

It's kind, I still love you

that's great, son.

Just goes to show, you can't buy good taste.

>that swingarm
>that rear tire
>that clutch cover
>those rimz

www.google.com

Sadly no. Those were the only 2 pics I got. I'll get some next time I see him up there

As long as its dry they do alright, any hint of water and you go over faster than you can get a foot down though lol

>I know literally nothing about modern batteries

Go low side into oncoming traffic. Tech illiterate retards deserve death.

To each his own I say. He was a cool enough guy though.

I bet, that's epic as fuck though. As long as ur not in that nasty clay mud

>farting quite a bit, smell like dead fish packed inside my asshole

nigga i know you smelt something.

I don't even want to be on your fucking list anymore.

The Skid Demon and I are homies now anyway.

>roadracingworld
>all track racing

post name so i can delete you.

How does one get on the list anyway

sore. Crashed sumo while off roading. fuking water mane

>wanting to be on this faggy list
ayy lmao

Can be fun, the cb does jumps surprisingly well

It's not that bad, I'm also 19 and I got a quote from progressive a few days ago, the minimum is ~$60 a month for me.
~$54 when I typed in that I'm 20, ~$48 when I typed in 21

ByPosting bike and not being a total faggot.

ThIs is what I have left so far, I don't know what else I can do to it tonight

This was for a 2016 Honda CBR300R btw

KEK! this user is mad because shes not in some list.

Builds character man.

How's the suspension?
Most I've even done with the chief is pop the front wheel a few times on accident when I first got it.

should have kept the dual sport tires.

fucking right I'm mad about this cancerous shit

Are you fucking kidding me?

>I found some batteries with safety features
>So I'm going to assume ALL OF THEM DO


>I know literally nothing about modern batteries

I am a licensed electrician, and pic related is where I am working today. The DC plant is pulling a little over 3860A. I maintain and install batteries, DC power plants, and emergency alternators for a living. So why don't you go and literally fuck your own face.

Can I get a jump start, bro?

I'm the NZfag with a KTM EXC and 4 other bikes that you NEVER PUT ON YOUR LIST.

So it's cool, you don't have to do anything bro.

>Not being a faggot

Has gramps who's a fucking spaz, harley user, drop user who's more of a spaz then gramps

Liteally EVERY li-po battery used in modern electronics has those basic safety features. Every smartphone, every laptop, every rechargeable flashlight, every e reader. Everything.
You're a tech illiterate retard who couldn't lie his way out of a paper bag.

Is a CB500X a good starter bike?

I like the adventure style but I want to start on something that isn't too heavy or strong.

I can jump start a 5MW genny

get the 700/750

>ktm
Go on

>and I'm going to willfully spread my ignorant and incorrect bullshit around as if its gospel
You can't read.
>I got into the stuff which may or may not be completely accurate.
You're a terrible person. You were replying to a different user by the way.

Isn't the NC700 an autocuck bike though?

I saw one at my local dealership and it didn't even have a clutch lever.

get a DRZ

You're terrible at your job then.

All of those devices have the charging circuit as well as the low-voltage cutoff protection as part of the device itself, not the battery. Hooking up a phone LiPo to a charging system not made for those batteries will ruin it, just like slapping a LiPo into a motorcycle with a charging system designed for lead acid batteries.

Hey guys I heard gasoline has lead in it and you shouldn't use it any more. Stop filling your bikes up with gasoline.
Because obviously if it was true once its true forever.

>harley user
Spammed dbt for hours just to make one user sperg for hours

Not him but they deserved to be on list.

They sell a manual one.

technically illegal since it's not a border between two lanes when its double yellow. it's considered a barrier that is thought to be a brick wall. but no one will ever pull you over. moto cops do it every day.

Not suited for that kind of riding ill put it that way

>lie

You're just wrong on this one buddy.

I miss leaded petrol. engines are only just getting back to how powerful they were running on it.

DCT is not standard, it an option and costs extra.
Though Honda would like to push DCT as standard on everything. They're not there yet.

Incidentally the 670cc engine used in the NC700X is outstanding. Shame the bike itself is so heavy.

I'm the guy who melted his indicator off

put your tongue on it

>Charging Lithium Polymer or LiPo batteries have very specific charging requirements and MUST only be changed by specific chargers designed to charge lithium polymer batteries. We recommend only balance charging your lipo batteries.
This is from 2011.
>inbr ancient
The LiPo batteries sold now aren't any different from the ones then.

Haha. Roger that man

>Kucktm
ayy lamo!

They use LiOn don't they? LiPOs spontaneously combust.

i'd like to slip on that exhaust, if you catch my drift...

That's funny as fuck actually

>Honda would like to push DCT as standard on everything
>Honda's only recent development is to make motorcycles less like motorcycles
Fuck honda.

Honda hasn't done anything interesting in a decade.

Where is the new cbr1k with electronics? Where is a new 600? Where is a new interesting anything?

>Yamaha developing self-riding motorcycles so the rider can "focus more on safety" and not get distracted by controlling the motorcycle.
