It's a warm fuzzy feeling.
nth for my forks still aren't ready to be picked up...
Just a few more hours...
I can still ride today... maybe..
What happened to your forks user?
At least you aren't a carb cuck
...
>when on the open road the bike's temp stays right in the middle of the dial, one stoplight won't push me into the red, or even some slow traffic
>seems like when the weather is 85F+ the bike overheats REALLY easily, like I stop at one light then it sits right below the red no matter what I do
What gives /dbt/? I've tried everything I can think of. Flushed the radiator multiple times, checked the valves, cleaned the radiator, checked to make sure the water pump flows and the cap is holding pressure...

g-guys I ride too
I was riding all winter
I've been riding all spring, cold wet, regardless
Where were you guys all this time? Bikes in storage and now you're all suddenly out here sucking each others dicks
I rode for two fucking hours today, where were all you fair weather cucks then?
Being in cager sucks
I looked at the new plugs again and you might be right. I thought fuel was getting to them because at first glance the tip was darkened but checking closely only the thread is dark, the electrodes are completely spotless. FUCK.
Besides a can of carb cleaner what should I pick up?
Clean your carbs
A gallon of concentrated carb cleaner.
But.. I had them cleaned about a month ago...;_;
what bike?
also adjust your idle air a little richer and maybe bump up one jet size for pilot
They can never be clean enough
Also I'm going with plugged radiator
Needed new fork seals, had done about 100 hours then sat for 2 years since they were done last so was kinda way over due.
>At least you aren't a carb cuck
that bike is legendary as far as the carby is concerned, did not even clean the fuel out of the carby before it sat in pieces for 2 years, put it back together and it started 3rd kick, fiddled with the float and it starts 1st kick every time now.
Carb Cleaner
If you don't own a compressor, compressed air.
I like to soak any brass parts in heated vinegar, doubly so any thing like a float need with a rubber tip.
Thats about it.
2004 EX250F
I've got the idle set to 1300-1500rpm like the manual says.
I'm also running 20w50 since it is summer.
Make sure you completely dismantle the carby and remove ALL of the seals before touching it with carby cleaner.
Otherwise you will need to rebuild the carby.
>2 stroke
>not carb cuck
A modern fuel system
richen your idle mixture some and add a radiator fan.
Don't change the idle speed, but the fuel mixture
/dbt/ did you ride today? no new bike pic, have a middle finger instead.
and the rad fan works properly?
is your thermostat working right?
have you actually checked it?
have the same exact bike, same year too.
starting to have the same issue - if it even is an issue? maybe its normal for us? m 04 ninja has 5200 miles on it, everything is good. sit at a stoplight a little too long and it'll get pretty close to being in the red in the gauge but when i start going again it cools down and goes back to the middle.
dying for an answer as well. its phoenix, it gets over 100 all summer and today it was 103 outside. need to make sure im OK.
ive read that these bikes run a little lean from the factory - would that have anything to do with it?
Yes. Did you?
>yes
>yes, as far as I can tell
>yep, even plugged and unplugged the connection to make sure it was working
I've started to get the feeling that my bike just likes to run hot. I only start to worry when the fan kicks on.
Where I live I can not lane split so I think that is half the problem.
No, not yet
must shitpost to pass time while i wait patiently.
>ive read that these bikes run a little lean from the factory - would that have anything to do with it?
turn your idle A/F screw out like 1-2 turns.
What's with the Honda hate on /dbt/?
nope, haven't even left my house today
Maybe once I get this guy running well enough to sell.
Maybe.
it all comes from 1 person
I'll try that, see if it works. Thanks
Should I get an oil temp Guage?
>air cooled masterrrrace
some redditor trying to force his meme
just ignore him, he will find a new meme to force eventually
Because the people that hate on Honda, are the same ones that see a Honda ride by while they are fixing their bike.
Also
>5200 miles on it
I literally hit 15k this evening on mine. How much did you get yours for?
out?? wouldn't doing that make it more lean, causing more of a problem? I thought left or "out" was less fuel, right or "in" was more fuel?
My fan kicks on quite a bit and maybe they do just like to run a little hot. Maybe that combined with the lean scenario is a recipe for higher temps....i dont know.
i cant lane split either, so when i come to a stop i have to come to a stop....between tons of cars, and asphalt that is over 100 degrees hot cuz its soaked in the sun all day. thats when i start to get hot. when i start moving again, it cools back down.
i wonder if there is a larger aftermarket fan we can buy.
Yes, but for only about an hour. I wish I had the views as what seems to be the majority of /dbt/, but I live amongst the dead in metro Detroit. Planning a decent urban ride tomorro, tho. Now, have a puppy.
nice whoolie man
bought it 2 months ago for $1600 :D
some dude with TONS of bikes in his garage had gotten it for his son, from a girl who owned it as her first bike (lol). he was taking a turn on devil's highway, at about 15mph, and hit some loose gravel and went down. got scared, didnt wanna ride anymore.
For the same reason people on dbt hate KTM, They can't afford a new one.
their bikes suck
>le honda is especially more reliable than it's japanese competitors maymay
Good to see marketing still works on you stupid fucks
Riding out this weekend to have Ramen with a furry fuccboi I met a week ago this weekend.
What are your weekend plans /dbt/?
look, he even started samefagging
>Posting some bullshit statistic.
Get real faggut.
Kinda true to be honest, my experience with Honda is that they are unreliable turds
user just upset he doesn't have an XRR
I haven't been able to stay off my new bike! How the fuck did I go two years without riding?
>hit some loose gravel and went down. got scared, didnt wanna ride anymore.
Noice
I got my trailer park special for 800 bucks with 12k on the clock. I loved her back to life and she has rewarded me...
wank, go for a ride, wank again.
relax, wank again.
wank twice more.
go meet up with gf
get wanked
go for ride with her
eat lunch.
That's my saturday plan
Don't ever speak to me or kit kat every again
Left/out is more fuel, In is less. Running lean leads to higher temps.
>I wonder if there's a larger fan
It's just an electric fan. As long as it clears the engine you're set.
you sound like a faggot.
A furry faggot*
Nice observation skills fuckwit, i bet you die riding your bike within a year because you are incapable of paying attention to shit.
Drink, contemplate life, drink some more.
Have fun
hey, you're perma-high 250cc ninja mechanic
Four spills, all of which due to cagers not paying attention
Good thing I always do, or I'd probably be dead four times over.
yiff in hell faggots
ill yiff your mum fagget, make her wear a princess buttercup costume. shit will be cash.
Yeah, fucken gramps.
$350 and a battery
...and of course the cosmetics I sunk into it
Or a CBR.
>as if thats a CBR to be jealous of
what are you riding, user? Here's a cloudy Montana sky.

MODS = GODS
No u.
YASSS

this is a momentous occasion guys.
We must celebrate by posting images that mods approve of
Where can I procure an authentic milk crate in 2016 USA? I lost my fucking net and the cargo issue is already hard pressing.
BTFO
hope you get AIDS and die, furfaggot
Who the fuck rides a bike to Home Depot
Wasn't used to deliver milk even once. Doesn't near dairy company label. Doesn't have a helpless legal threat on the side.

i failed the motorcycle test

It is for all the people with Ninja 250s
Anyone going to the blessing of the bikes in Baldwin Michigan this weekend?
Oh. Sorry. Holy shit, that's nice.
People with storage
Just post removed, no ban, sorry home slice
Time to go see if my forks are ready yet...

Huge gathering of bikes of all kinds come and hang out and on Sunday they have a huge church service with all the bikes
Like 15 thousand people
>church
fuck if i'm gonna ride all the way to michigan to pray n shit
i don't think i'd be welcome anyway since i'm not on a harley.
>fork seals leaking
> pray n shit
> non cruiser rider
For what possible reason?
You wouldnt be able to ride the thing near its potential as is, adding a turbo to what is already an over powered engine is just asking to low slide as soon as you hit boost through a corner.
That is unless you are gonna niggabusa it then what ever floats your boat big boy
>edgy
>bikes of all kinds
>I don't think I'd be welcome anyway since I'm not on a harley

You don't belong here
