He didn' lend me a shifter, now he's paying for it
Grayson Brown
Forgive the retarded question, why do most modern motorcycles have a much bigger rear wheel compared to the front?
Brayden Wood
>which wheel is driven? More traction... Also the front contact patch can rotate, the rear slides about
Austin Turner
lol
Liam Gutierrez
I don't recall anybody asking me for a shifter
Anthony Wilson
Power delivery and handling.
Rudimentary explanation: Rear wheel is fat to deal with the power output. Front wheel doesn't have to be that large. Besides, If the front was as fat as the rear you'd have awful handling.

>Need to replace some stuff on my bike (seals, filters, cooling unit, etc.) >Never worked on a bike before >Refuse to pay dealer part prices, buy that shit online >Only subsequent years' parts can be found It's an old '85 cruiser (first bike). I can find, say, '88 parts, though. Will those work, or am I stuck paying shit dealer prices?
Xavier Wood
>Besides, If the front was as fat as the rear you'd have awful handling. Eh. The bike would be more balanced off throttle, which isn't fast but would probably have some utility for normie road riding.
Like if you had more front it should be harder to low side by being a tard and tucking the front. But it would make it easier to get into an oversteer slide which is probably more dangerous for average riders.
Christian Robinson
How the fuck is anyone supposed to know without even knowing what bike it is?
I'm really worried by the way you're thinking about this.

Jason Gomez
So my bike has a magura hydraulic clutch and the engagement point keeps changing. I'm not sure what is causing it. Possibilities I've though of so far >the set screw is screwing itself >air bubbles making their way into the line/cylinder and then coming back out >the slave cylinder on the engine is missing a bolt, so it could be wiggling on there a little bit.

Christopher Rivera
After starting on a bike with a center stand and then having a bike without a center stand it's really nice to go back to a bike with a center stand.
Jackson Gutierrez

I can make the exam as soon as they have the papers, and the date to give them the papers is in October, and when they have the paperwork they need 4 - 6 weeks to give me the Freigabe for the test
Brayden White

Ethan Phillips

Robert Baker
How oily do you keep your chains /dbt/? As you can see mine is a filthy oily mess but it rains every other day here and I don't want my chain to rust more than it already as.
>pic related >dirty bikes get rode more
Levi Ramirez
Männlein detected :-----D Why would you get doxxed because of that, did they accidentally send you to prison because some other fuckhead on a WR willied past the primary school?
Kayden Bennett
it's more importanter to clean the chain than to lube it. best thing is to do both tho.
Justin Harris
if you would know :^) >Männlein gemein uezs, ich bin sogar gewachsen :^)) SAGT DER GROSSE STIFT ZUM KLEINEN STIFT WACHSMALSTIFT LMAOOO!!!

Evan Price
>By clean you mean? The uniformed ritual I got used to is power washing the swing arm and area around chain and the chain itself. Then letting it dry a bit, then physically rubbing it with an oily rag and spraying it a bit with the spray.
This what you mean?
>rusty chain life >living by a fucking coast
Isaac Adams
sounds interesting is it something personal?
about this much
Eli Clark
Anyone else want a bunch of gear they can't afford?
I have a mesh jacket but for colder weather this would be win.
im a 5 foot 7 dude, 155 pounds and i am currently in the process of getting my license.
I really, really want to ride a 600 supersports bike, and i am almost certain that one of those will be my first bike.
But i see a lot of people dropping them on youtube, Vloggers and such.
I am a pretty fit guy but do you think i am more prone to dropping the bikes being on the shorter side?
I really dont want my fairings ruined, do you think the damage can be minimized with drop pegs? I am almost certain to install a set of those. Is it really this bad? do you have to be hulk hogan to keep a 600 SS stable?
Ian Martin
O N E W E E K N E

are you hyped yet?
Daniel Sanchez
YES YES YES
Jose Cox
> supersport as first bike Don't do that. > more prone to dropping Not really anything to do with your height and more with not being a dumbass. In general you don't want to tip your bike too far to the side regardless of strength / height. > drop pegs They help.

The minute you stop giving a fuck and just enjoy riding is the minute youll actually enjoy riding.
Bentley Harris
nice it was very entertaining last year
Grayson Jackson
i will do it, many people around me did it, or have super powerful nakeds. Thanks for the dumbass input, i think im not one of those dumbasses but things happen quickly on bikes
Thanks, but im scared of the slow speed stuff more than anything else.
Zachary Baker
If you're worried about slow speed stuff, get a bike that you can handle at slow speeds and won't mind dropping, practise slow-speed stuff until you're not worried anymore and then get what you want.
Brody Hall
thats riding buddy. I dropped my brand new cb1000r (first bike) in a gravel driveway once. I bought it to ride it. Just don't be a dumb ass and try to Rossi on a street bike on public roads. Accidents happen but you arn't prone to just drop it for no reason.
James Rivera
>tfw no two smoke shitbike worst feel
Levi Morales
Be this guy.
Luke Morris
You can do start on a super sport, you just have to be VERY aware of what it is you're riding. If you don't it'll be very easy to fuck up and hurt yourself. As for dropping it it's really just like any other bike. Just comes down to not being a retard. You can also get lowering links or something to lower the bike to make it easier for you to get on and off.
Joseph Price
I ain't dead niggas.
Kevin Turner
Maybe not be a huge faggot like you seem to be atm and youll be able to manage

REEEEEEEE ALL THE GOOD WEATHER WILL BE GONE BY THE TIME IT'S HERE
Also, if that guy who wanted to know which 600 to go for from last thread is still here, as the owner of both an R6 and a Daytona 675R, go for the Daytona if the price difference doesn't matter. It has a much more exciting engine character, is more agile, sounds amazing and is the prettiest supersport by a mile. Obviously, depending on your location, servicing costs will probably be slightly higher though and the aftermarket, while great, is also more expensive.
