Is the Ninja 650R to much for a first bike?

No, it's great.

If you're tall enough for it, it'll be fine.

No.

Whatever happened to amerifag?

I was going to include him as first, but he hasn't posted here for ~ 4 years.... I can still put him as first and have sef and r1guy following.

>fewer than 999cc

RIP SEF

>missing every Sem memeber except sef
>multilple pics of the same person
>one of them is not even an actual /dbt/ poster

You fucked it up.

>one

>multiple pics of the same person
You bet, I knew there were going to be dupes. Too tired to differentiate them.
>one of them is not even an actual /dbt/ poster
See , that's the joke.

Fucking DBT sticker
>yes
>DBT recevoir socks?

>missing every Sem memeber except sef

FKG and dropanon are on it too

iirc he was the first one to have one, he made them

My ninja 250 (2005) is making a weird ass noise when I get finished riding. It sounds like a huge fucking fan is blowing. Like a PC fan turned up to 200% is blowing hard. It stops about 30 seconds after I turn off the engine

At least you're not on a 600.

Post your 250 so I can give you advice and know I'm not feeding a troll.

Thats fucking sick. Whats the name of the irc that dbt uses? Or am I misunderstanding you.

...

Your still a fucking troll. Your radiator has a fan on it to cool it when you're not moving fast enough to get cool air onto your radiator. Its to cool it off. Do you turn your bike off with the key or killswitch?

>iirc
if i remember correctly
>irc
I'm pretty sure it's just #dbt
Thanks, will add you.
He posted a KLR 650 lol

How is spares availability for Buells now that Harley murdered the company? There are a couple 2006 Ulysses in my area for around 4-5k and I'm thinking of maybe getting one.

What server though?

And oops. Didn't click on thumbnail just assumed. I'ma stop posting for a sec then post again pretending to be someone else to save myself the embarrassment.

Uhm, through Rizon afaik.
Don't sweat it man shit happens.

Man what a fag

>am samefagging

I'ma check that out. Its prolly usually empty or silent as per usual for IRC.

Usually there are a handful of peeps there, but it gets more active at night.

don't

is this good enough for collage?

>sideways
>no gloves

>holding gloves

kek
Night is a relative term mate.

Yup, brilliant, thanks. Nice FZ6.

ATGATT

Classic namefag, I was just posting to get into the collage I didn't even read the thread

FZ6 user took the pic, he's too shy

...

All good, pretty CB as well.
Has PNW kinda feels to it.

lol why the hell would I be trolling? pic related

ATGATT!

Well we live in Vancouver so that would be accurate :p

also here is me riding it today. please give feedback (im new)

youtube.com/watch?v=gu0ijY7wf24

His GF, Cavalulz or whatever the fuck her trip was, cheated on him and he went off the deep end last I heard.

>on the collage
>not even my bike in the picture with me
you got cucked!!

>see

Not the other guy, but can you discern if it is from the radiator fan?
If it doesn't do that when you're at stoplights either, I'm at a loss.
LOL that fucking thumbnail
Post pic with bike then?
Yeah that dumb cunt. Poor guy. He's AWOL here.

>/dbt/ gets literally cucked

>spend few hours watching Africa Twin stuff on work because nothing to do
Fuck I want to get one now, pack my shit up and go touring around northern Africa and Middle East. Too bad I don't have the time nor nor money for that.

He used my fucking treebeard shoop pic from my office.

OP use this one of me and Iddy Biddy Two N Fiddy

Luckily the security situation isn't great in the area at the moment so it doesn't feel too bad.

Yeah, I'm the one who shooped that office pic as well. You don't like it?

Okay, I'll use that one instead.

Mate I don't know the first thing about how a motorcycle works. This bike is 11 years old with an odometer discrepancy, it could be anything. I also can't get it to idle without the choke on 25% or so, so who knows. I turn it off with the killswitch usually but the key more recently (and when I noticed the noise)

here's one with the new bike

yeah, people buy 250's here all the time

It was funny at the time, I just wouldn't put it in the /dbt/ collage because it's a nanomeme with no bikes in it.

Okay, thanks.

>Waiting on this damn boat
>might as well dbt

How's everyone's day so far

Ok, I didn't mean to be a dick. To tell if its your radiator, turn it off with the key not the killswitch.

>Noise when turned off with killswitch means radiator. If turned off when key and no noise then it could confirm my theory.

Too hot to ride, shitposting until I can go get a bloody marry and make a cigar run.

Fair enough.
It's not really meant to be serious, case in hand Jay Leno, Tash, naked Trolly, the e85z32 gf tits, and Slater's ID pic.

I got chased into the woods by the cops at 3am with a Tinder date on the back of my bike, woke up hung over around noon and have been nursing that while shitposting.

So like 8/10 day so far.

Also the carb needs to be clean/tuned. The carb could just need a quick adjustment on the idle screw. That would fix your no idle without choke problem but your lack of knowledge will betray you. Need to take it a mechanic.

>winrar

hot

>tfw 89F 60% humidity

I'm in similar weather. Higher humidity slightly lower temp. Night ride and rain ride user its the better then the heat.

pls elimin8 fendur

How hot we talking?

Living the dream I see.

Never stop man.

>last day of internship
>ripped out the engine of an XT660Z (Ténéré)
>now looking at videos of old Dodge Durangos

HAPPENING

done

>niggerrigged it but oh well
>first bike

Hypermotardanon did I skip you in the collage?

...

Did you buy a kit?

>Living the dream I see.
At least you understand.

That was fast.

I know I do most of my riding at night and sometimes I even have actual places to go

Noice.

Not to horrible yo

It's a lil rainy and sunny at the same time. Fkn love this weather

anyone here have experience doing a 6v led conversion?

No I bought 1/16" steel and cut it down to a rectangle of appropriate size, bent it a bit to ~45*. Used same license plate mount from original fender.

kek
Old pic
You like your CB?

Ya hot weather sucks. Moving to the good ol Murder Mitten (Michigan) soon. Short riding season but way better summers.

Yeah pre/post rain, hell even during rain is nice. I could dig that user. However, I ride with you in spirit only.

I haven't even seen it so probably.

sheiiit.

Yes you did. I'll post a suitable pic later. Gotta change tires and go hektik.

Alright. Enjoy the fresh rubber

We'll always have Veeky Forums user

did you know you can put a tail light in upside down and it will light up when the brake is off?

i didn't know that until today

SEM preliminary recon unit is active.

Yeah, all you're doing is switching the signal.

your glove is gonna fall off

.. nice numbers

And revzilla to keep our wallets empty.

>these digits
checked

>tfw not in the collage
add pls

fuck off you're not part of /dbt/

Are those the "twisties" /dbt/ is always raving about?

Good luck, may your ass be sore

:^)

Not gonna lie bro I was gonna put the kummiez, but didn't because that's not too nice and I didn't have any proper pic of you.


I gotchu senpai.

I do wanna get new boots soon

>ferry is empty as fuck
Aww shit

>not riding around the ferry

thanks bruv

Is the maintenance and having to replace parts on an XT350 anything to worry about? There's not really an aftermarket and hunting ebay for overpriced used parts sucks. It'd be a first bike.

Also looking at a TW200 which would be way easier to get parts for but lacks power for longevity and hooligan fun.

They are rough to walk or do anything not involving sitting on a bike.

But poweranger, so I wear them.
And safety or whatever.

>not having acutal twisties

have you considered an xt225 or dr350?

it's unlikely you'll have to replace much on a XT350 it's not beat to shit

*if it's not beat
