Suzuki master race

tru

Suzuki dirt bikes are like ancient technology

Make it a little smaller, I can almost read the text.

Remaining on topic,
>How hard is it to service a vtec bike?

Ask viccuckb400sf

So how do I know which is better to DD year round?
Dr650 or the DRZ400

The 650, the 400 is slow as fuck.

No harder than any other bike, i do a full service every 3000-5000km instead of every 10,000 because the oil gets fucking dirty in that time

>honda reliability

DRZ is quicker
DR is better on the highway

...

>not doing obsessive maintenance on your bike
It is like you don't even appreciate it.

That's a movie prop.

K, but people keep telling me that it'll be incredibly difficult/time consuming if i do it myself and extremely expensive if i get a dealer to do it

>turbo (because he likes the sound)
>rear brake removed
>removed 1 front brake caliper so people can see the wheel

I see the discussion is mature as always in dbt... Well then. I broke my dualshock 2 finally, should i get another one or upgrade to an x360 controller?
I would talk bikes but the sv is delayed, again

>DRZ400
>33 hp
>DR650
>36-38 hp
Not much difference there... You can uncork/mod a DR650 to the 60-hp range but that's $$$. I don't know about the 400 though.

You forgot

AND the ugly ass swing arm, fuck

My first and allegedly only valve adjustment is at 36,000 miles. I have the shop manual and there is no fucking way I'm doing it myself. This is where I will gladly hand over large money for a certified tech to do it. One of the few things I will pay someone else to do.

U also pay niggers to fuckt ur wife

to do the air filter i have to take the fuel tank off, to change the oil/oil filter i have to take the muffler off then the headers off, takes about an hour maybe 2 from start to finish for a service.
if you have to work on the engine though that is a huge job, id estimate it takes about 6 hours just to get the damned thing out of the frame.

its not too hard. i do it on thumpers and its easy

no feeler gauge? literally the only tool you need to adjust your valves.
well other than the taking your heads off but yeah.

Fuark
On the Aprilia the filter is right there, at worst in the bellypan
To get to the airbox it's literally 2 bolts and the tank swivels 180°
>I can't even begin to imagine how much of a pain would having to remove the fairings for every little touch be

It requires, on the BMW k1600, several expensive specialized tools. Plus honestly, if it indeed only needs to be once, there's a shit load of disassembly to get to them that I'd rather not deal with. And I'm not a fan of our nearest BMW Motorrad dealer. I might take it up to Omaha rather than KC.

Yeah no. The K1600 requires more than a feeler gauge.

>I checked my valves on one bike one time and didn't have to adjust them

>not having a glorious nippon bike
no real surprise bmw would get you on shit like that

worse things have happened, i own a ktm among other things so i regularly have to pull bikes down like pic related to work on them, at least bikes are easier/cleaner to work on than cars, i fucking hate working on cars.

>ktm in it's natural habitat
just kidding though. I've got to tear the concours down for valve lash job in a couple weeks. I envy you thumpers every now and then lol.

Heard you moaning about that, i think
>Used to do work on scooters
>Literally nothing under the plastics
Everything now is packed

Well it doesn't help that it has a massive inline 6 wedged in there along with everything else. Plus you need shims, and I don't want to buy every combination of shims for all valves on all cylinders IF I even need to adjust them. And driving back and forth to Kansas City for shims and parts is too much of a pain in the ass.

Filtered:)

>valves
2 smoker, i had to do the big end bearings and crank shaft, was its first full rebuild
can be a cunt when you have cases apart, so easy to break a case because of how thin they are so its a job of patience

Anyone have experience with the africa twin or is it not out yet and I'm just thick?

new baiku!!

Gay shit 500!! Ayy lmao!! He fell for the meme!! Ayy!

its out, some euro user has one already.

Just saw 2 of then in baja. 2 old mexican guys were riding them.

congrats user you now have more bikes than 90% of dbt

I'm curious about it. It looks like the bigger stronger cousin of the klr650 and that's exactly what I'm after

Fuck off nobike

lol

Gotta have plenty of muscle to get to Starbucks and back like

fairly sure itll stomp the klr in every way with ease.
not sure its fair to associate them at all.
but the user really likes it and says it does everything on the roads he wants it to but hasnt gotten into the dirt much yet.
im looking to pick one up soonish too.

yuck but also yaaaas

>Still using toys to lure children
Granps pls stop.

have more bikes than you though

Did you buy it?

Ebin

>Starbucks and back
You don't know my build plan do you

Post strips

god damn lazy niggers making the OP early at least do it right

>Implying you could ever afford an AT
>Implying you're worthy of the old one

Hello newfriend:)

Even though there's a high pressure area at the base of the windshield the roof creates lift by increasing the distance over the top of the car you tard. A Porsche 996 Carrera has 600lbs of lift at 150mph. If average street cars made downforce the steering would be heavier at higher speeds not lighter.

Actually the last Z28 had 400lbs of downforce at under $100,000 but you could barely buy one of those things regardless.

i'm slowly starting to know how autistic you are, especially if your "build plan" starts with that shitbox

git gud

>4 lugs
According to Veeky Forums yout bike is a shibox
>Hyperanon, right?
>I think there are barely 2 anons with a single sided swingarm

Yeah, the bigger stronger cousin. They are both roughly similar designs with similar use, but the africa twin is bigger faster and stronger

no u

Theres 5
F4 user
Vfr800vtec user
Hypermotard user
Cb1000r user
Vfr800fi user

I think theres also a 1199 user but he dosent post anymore.

Cant really enjoy the because to much traffic. I have to plan a long ride to the thouge.

There's more than that. Me for example.

There are also 2 848 anons and a 1098 user.

>hypermotard

nope, duc's use a single bolt, pretty sure that's a vfr (notice the cheap paint peeling)

>"""""most reliable brand""""""
>services 3x as often

>most reliable brand
>services every 5000km instead of breaking every 1000km

More motogp shit pls

How worried should I be that my Daytona's headers glow red? I've only noticed it when not moving or going slow, I don't really want to lean down and look at that shit on the highway.

Oh, shit, the bimmer too?!
Why don't you get a smaller exhaust to show it off?

...

I meant 1198 user.

...

...

Its semen m8

i have pictures of mine meltered too uleh
i rev the ever living fuck out of that bike, by rights i should probably change it more often than i do.

hm yes, hondas are slow yes

it is a slow bike yes, hardly keeps up to my mates vu statesman, only reason it does is the bike can go faster through corners

damn it took you 2 years to go from 140 to 160

>tfw i will never be able to wear the chicken strips off my dr tires because i go full drifto and lay the rear tread over before i get to the edge

>found out that Bakuon manga updated
>they didn't show the lesbian-when-drunk teacher hogtied by Raimu in the anime

riding in full race suit is so comfy.

loads of spring in your legs and lots of back support.

the fuckin' translators are behind the anime now, shit sucks.

Was it rape?

to be fair on the poor little thing that was up hill, i was surprised it even pulls over 150 up those hills

I have to change the oil in my suzuki every 1k-2k miles or else the shifting gets really clunky.
