It's like your not even embracing the adventure

help me /dbt/

my bike give trouble to start sometimes but the specifics circumstances are weird.

it only will act up the first time its started for the day. it cranks but no cigar (FI- im not just being retarded with a carb) for a few tries and then it will slowly turn over. this doesnt happen whenever i ride to anywhere that day.

dealer suggest is that it doesnt get ridden enough because my commute is about 7-10 mins but i always ride for at least 25 mins on the way back. additionaly theyve suggested that it sits too long but thats usually not more than 3 days

the only thing that has improved the situation is changing where i park from a spot in the sun(under a cover) on an incline to a spot on flatter ground that is in the shade for a greater period of the day

there was also one incident of the bike not starting and the started getting progressively slower untill it stopped and wouldnt respond but it started up half hour later with no delay

wtf is it doing because i dont know

FMF

Bad battery?
Dirty starter?

>can you sinthesize some sort of motorcycle fuel?
You have a shitty battery
Happened the same to me

About to pull my motor out of frame. Scared as fuck I'll fuck something up

6/10

There's one of these in my neighbourhood. Poor thing's been chained to a post for weeks, never see it move.
1/10

Sounds like my bike when it's cold out, but I'm carb'd.

What bike? It might just have a shitty map from the factory. A Power Commander might fix that and also give you more HP.

Battery a shit.

Nothing to fuck up m9

ty

mine only does it when its warm out

ty

Just need to know rates

they're really pretty looking bikes, but i know i would be filled with an enormous regret if i ever bought one. the regret would be magnified 10x when i tried to sell it and realize absolutely nobody is buying.

Post pics of your bike anons

>about to go for a cruiser ride
>remembered i didn't change the oil yet
>don't want to change the oil

I go with Shorai for my lithium iron goodness.

Magic

I was thinking about making the conversion,
But im not sure my 43 year old charging system
would be compatible

Thanks for the input. I would not sell it if i buy it. I like the bikes but undecided on color.

Damn straight, ever heard of oil shale? That's basically cooked fossils of plants. Strike oil, bruh

Who here /mostlystock/?

All I've changed on this is some electrical shit.

big bro and lil bro

meeee


love stock

i have changed absolutely, literally nothing, my bike is bone stock. the only thing i'm likely to do are add a slip-on can (if i can find one i like) and add the rear luggage for more STORAGE

Me, all I have are new electrical components, gaskets and other misc little shit.

seems to work for me. winter barely got to freezing this year though.

...

added satnav mount, topcase and different brake discs

>ABS
Do you share your wives?
I did some stuff to my bike, but hid any wires and matched the color scheme all over it

Do it man, it's interesting!

>single sided swingarm on the wrong side
>exhaust still covers it
Can BMW not into A E S T H E T I C ?

>lithium iron

>iron

lel

your bike looks like secs

>mfw bmw mufflers give me a giggle

lolnope
My frame isn't even stock.

whose fault?

I think I'm the only one that prefers the kermit to the lifted Ninja

>cyclist making a U turn in a lane and going the wrong direction in the lane
Definitely the cyclist.

Motorcycle shouldn't have been passing him on the right, but the cyclist is also supposed to stay right to get passed I'm pretty sure.

obviously bicyclist but he should have slid left into his buddy's lane

Yes, thats right.
Lithium iron phosphate. Also called LiFePO 4, LFP, and a bunch of other shit including lithium iron.

Did you think you were pointing out a typo?

I hope that hipster's bike has ben irreparably crushed
>it probably costed more than that dualsport

>passing on right

fucking stupid, thats like the fifth webm of a crash i have seen that was caused by this.

>doing circles on a street

pretty suicidal

Its one thing to hop into a lane with perfectly good sidewalk right there, Its another to completely go sideways in the lane.

I love how he pretended he didnt hear the motorcyclist coming.

Wait, what's the complete opposite of stock? Yeah that, that's me.

Both

on second viewing that was a crossing right? The cyclist shouldnt have turned around, they teach this in school for a reason.

Cyclists homo didn't yield to traffic(imagine that?) he took the turn wide, then did some bullshit u turn maneuver in the center of the lane.

Imagine if he did that in a car. Bicycles on the road are a vehicle like any other.

me
100% stock
nobike

new saddle. original was dwarf size. want to get handguards and aux lamps.

>tank under the butt
Do you even have /storage/

I never realized how dinky the swingarm on the KLR is

>belt instead of chain
please explain

That tank is beyond ugly

it's the motorcycle's fault but they're both retarded

fuck no, i want a bike thats mine. Changing stock parts is part of the fun and most bikes have some shitty stock parts (like plastic chain guards or giant license-plate holders) anyways.

Who here /hyped/ as fuck?
>LEICESTER

b-but user, the exhaust is on the other side from the swingarm

the sargent saddle has a storage cannister strapped into the space under the backrest/pillion. also panniers & the black bit at the back is for a topbox.

That sucks, we owe you a fuckload of booze, o glorious one. I still have the bottle of spirits, gonna bring it back to SEM2. It has traveled around 8000km by that point.

You're chode is showing

weight, lifespan, cost, maintenance

why isn't as widely used as chain?

How to launch like motogp pro?

he sure is a little dude packing a lot of heat. different purposes entirely though, i would never dream of taking the versys off-road, no matter its pretensions and lip service.
>Do you share your wives?
only the one of the left is mine, and i don't share. sorry. i'm a proud ABS cuck, but you gotta draw the line somewhere

Good question.

dat low maintenance
>comfy as fuck

forgot pic

Rev to peak torque point
Lean far foward
push off and let out on clutch quick and smooth
Roll on while clutch is going out
Front wheel should be barely lifting
Go fast.

let the clutch out as quickly as possible at the highest revs you can without lifting the front or breaking the rear loose

No exhaust.

Loud as fuck.

the repair jew

Yeah...
You're meant to show off the side without the ugly arm

>Weight
Irrelevant
>cost
You can't be serious
>lifespan

>maintenance
U wot m8?

Dat snap under fun
Dat unreplaceability while stranded

I'd prefer a black or red tank but natural is so nice for actually being able to tell how much fuel I have

>tfw not enough money to buy fun stuff

scenc

>no thin transparent stripe hidden in matching red and black
It's like you don't even wanna be operator as fuck

why don't they just make them with viewing glass already?

>no cruiser tub rolling into oncoming traffic/off ledge

And how did you go about that? Engraving the original VIN into the new frame?

>kickstart added to DRZ
Do you ever actually use it or is it just there for emergencies?

No, it's just funny because if you say it out loud, it sounds like lithium ion.

>tfw been riding for almost 12 years and never kickstarted a bike
i think this is actually a pretty decent feel

because
>muhhh chaaaiiiiiiin

also, racing

I don't know any tank that has that.

Probably cost.

>63.5kW
>snap
that belt's gonna make its intervals easy. you can drop it in as hard as you like
>that's what she said

i love kick start

i have a bike that's had a dead battery for months and i don't even care

I've never had to kickstart anything but an old dirtbike when I was 13-16. I actually didn't have any idea what I was doing at the time, I'd just stomp it and it would start. Great thing for low compression I guess.
Electronic ignition on street bikes really is a blessing.
