Speed doesn't kill, suddenly stopping does. Speed is fine.
Isaiah Rivera
then u returd
Camden Clark
Done
Asher Butler
No
Ayden Perez
pretty sure most of those weren't fatal.
Ethan Nguyen
What cleaner/lube you guys use for your chain?
Tyler Rodriguez
Theres my indian buddy, im excited to finally finish my break in period for the motor.
Benjamin Gonzalez
>just stuck bolt on carb things I was trying to just remove the plate that holds the throttle cables in-line with the butterfly valve widget but nooo. I can't do things the easy way.
Lucas Wood
What kind of shitty harbor freight bit was that?

Benjamin Russell
One that had held up for seven or so years of occasional use in some pretty high-torque situations. It's one of those flippy-bit screwdrivers I got from Lowe's one day.
Asher White
Nice! Gonna get my oil changed this week sometime.
Any nice lil road trips now you got it broke in?
Caleb Miller
Best beginner bike? Cruisers better than sport/adventure? SV650 looks promising, too much for starter?
Kayden Ortiz
I would say a dual-sport or $1500 Ninja 250/300, but a SV650 will do fine.
David Diaz
Made it back from my night ride. I rode through some really nice neighborhoods, a couple of shady ghettos, downtown, the bar district, a large industrial area, and a couple of rural roads. Didn't see any cops driving around and only like 2 obviously drunk people. All in all not too bad.
Jack Rogers
Ive got about 200 miles till the first oul change. I gotya check the warranty to see if i can do it myself. The 3.3 gallong tank makes me a littke cautious to strech its legs.
Carter Torres
>tfw nobie
but, good news. I just accepted an offer for a new job that pays 12k more a year than what I am doing right now. so that means soon I will have enough for not only a decent downpayment, but my credit history will be established. the question is, do I buy a used harley '72, an FZ1, or do I just spend 2k on an FJ1200?
Zachary Gray
>tfw drunk but want to night ride
Grayson Foster
do it fagget you won't >it's really fun >odds are it won't end well though
Parker Adams
Post your lid
Tyler Miller
I'm a slacker and just take it in to get it serviced. How many miles you getting to a tank so far?
Oliver Hughes
...
Juan Brooks
Fuck off shit kit
Lincoln Brooks
if you want decent wind protection then get a ninja 650, it's a great starter bike too.
Zachary Evans
...
Jonathan Jones
soon
Jace Jones
>done ;)
no longer have the shit bike tho
Elijah Mitchell
I rode drunk exactly 1 time. Never again.
Ryan Thompson
I thin i got about 120 miles before the light came on. Maybe ill just get some saddle bags to stow extra fuel in.
Brayden Thompson

Jacob Howard

Grayson Ortiz
Just get a real JIS driver and problem solved.
Parker Ward
are these all in 3rd world countries
Oliver Johnson
it's not speed that kills, it's what you'll hit or what will hit you, kill you, you you.
Sebastian Young
You've been nobike for fucking ages. Just buy some shit bike since you'll most likely bin whatever you end up getting.
Brandon Hall
That's not to bad. I can run about 220 miles before mine starts blinking. But I have the 5.5 I wonder if the other scout gets about the same milage as yours
Camden Parker
probably not. I only lowsided the CX once in 12000 miles by trying to use it as a dualsport on a dirt trail in a field by my old house.
fz1 seems like too much bike though, maybe I would go for an FZ8 over the FZ1
Gabriel Brooks
>shit kat is a fucking pussy S H O C K I N G H O C K I N G
Juan Campbell
Nah, that one's fucking stuck in there. I used a better screwdriver and started to strip the screw head.
James Wilson
I might have ridden a few miles, but fuck I am still 20. not trying to die kek.
Jack Reyes
The FZ8 isn't a pushover either. Both will be fast to you because you have never ridden anything fast. Question is do you want a bikini fairing or not.
Nathan Richardson
>being this much of a little bitch The engine is fucking detuned. You know how many retard that have never rode start on 600's and don't die?
Jace Reyes
But yet you go to the gay club and get your neg hole pozzed
Luke Watson
>do you want a bikini fairing or not would be nice, but not necessary. I really need to just ride a sportster though to figure out if it is shit or not. I don't really want an indian either though.
the guy I bought my acura from (who helped me get the new job) has an FZ8 that's pretty modded and it is fully sikh. yoshi can, power commander, bar end mirrors and it just seems mean. sounds excellent.
Jaxon Miller
No such thing as too much bike.
Litres aren't some big bad monster that will kill you as soon as you sit on it. Just don't ride like a fuckwit and you'll be fine.
Lucas Gomez
>No such thing as too much bike. You have not ridden anons mum yet.
Joshua Martin
this is true, but I also don't think my insurance company wants that explanation. although a harley wouldn't be too cheap either...
>he litterally can only ride a 400 >didn't even bring Yamalube on the trip I get what you are saying, but there's a part of me that still desires a terrible 80s shit bike, just with 130hp.
Andrew Sanders
jesus fuck you're a bitch my buddy started on an r1 just fine git fucking gud you scrub
Aaron Miller
Bandit 1200 cafe racer
Jace Walker
Maybe you should give kkk your dildo to ride.
Aiden Wilson
He'd be too much of a bitch and not be able to get it in
Cameron Miller
Yeah I mean really the fz1 and fz8 aren't gonna be super fast. The fz8 has nice power though, but it's just an underbored r1 motor with fz1 frame.
Yeah I have all of those things on my fz8, its really not that fast still lol. But you'd like it. Also I'm 21 stop being a pussy and learn to ride good.
Joseph Martinez
I want to sexually touch this.
Jacob Hall
Ayy sup dbt literally haven't rode my bikes in months I bet the carbs are all gummed up and shit lol fuck
Michael Russell
How much would you be paying for an fz1? My s1000r costs me $1000/year in insurance and $250/year in registration.
surely can't cost more than that?
Brayden Lewis
I think it's awesome and super future-retro. Needs an outrun paintjob
Logan Reed
no one asked you
yiff in hell
Nicholas Walker
Hey anons, mechanical noob question here.
So I noticed that this rubber tube was disconnected on my ninja 250 pregen. So I went ahead and reconnected it.
Google tells me that it's a crank case breather tube? But i'm not sure. If it is, what does this do? Did I do anything wrong by reconnecting it?
Pic related.
Kevin Harris
stay mad user, nameless, worthless, probably don't even own a bike.

Leo Wilson

Landon Peterson

Jonathan Campbell

Charles Mitchell
>Implying you would take it out
I've ridden enough, just never on paper so it will be considered a first bike. Insurance will be a cunt is my big worry. I think over 12000 miles on a 500 was enough practice.
Single sided swingarm is Sexy.
Also I ran a 22.9 @ 59mph at bandimere in my truck
Aaron Nguyen
am I the only massive faggot here when it comes to automatics, it's just, it feels so wrong.
Blake Gray
>>/ovg/ begone child
Juan Wood
>Am I the only massive faggot here Baird is here
Leo Myers
The crankcase breather is basically just a hole in the top of your crankcase that lets the pressure in the crankcase equalize to that of the atmosphere. If the crankcase was completely sealed then it would build up pressure when the engine gets warm which would be bad. The breather tube usually connects the hole in the crankcase to the air intake box just so that it doesn't let a bunch of dirt and dust fall directly into the crankcase.
Lincoln Miller
>not including self join the fag train mate.
Brody Myers
Why would you fully cover an fz8 or fz1 anyways. They can be had for like 4-5k. Just get liability and be done with it. I pay like 180 a year. Besides they're probably both classified as sport touring motorcycles so insurance wouldn't even be too bad.
Ian James
choo choo motherfucker
Andrew Clark
I-i'm saving this just to put it in my purple bike folder...
Joshua Powell
Let's air out of your crankcase. Do not plug it but you can generally leave it wherever as long as water and dirt can't get in.
Kevin Kelly
I wouldn't fully cover, but a 20 year old with a not great driving record getting an fz1 as a "first bike" is a higher risk
Jaxson Rogers
>can't get liter bike because driving record I laugh
Nathan Peterson
I can, I just already pay insurance on 2 vehicles and I don't want to post an assload more.
I'll probably get a few quotes closer to the time to buy
Justin Wood
Just by a dual sport or DRZ and be done with it. Cheap as shit and fun as fuck.
Wyatt James
Since when the fuck are you nobike? What happened to your shitty Honda? >tfw kinda want that new honda 300 Looks so fucking sexy fuck but I hate the shit out of clip ons.
Justin Phillips
Told you not to cum into the tanks
Austin Morris
0 desire to ride off-road senpai. I like cruising highways and hustling on mountain roads. To things a dualsport isn't very good at and a sport tourer is.
Adrian Rivera
Dude I'm telling you just get liability and be done with it. Why bother wasting money, when you could just save it to fix the shit you may fuck up on the bike.
Noah Scott
Eh, dual sports are great on the twisties. Not so much at cruising highways though.
Oliver Garcia
You really don't understand what I'm saying at all do you
I would NOT get full coverage, just liability, and insurance would still be expensive
Lincoln Garcia
How fucking shit is your driving record that you would get over 200 dollars a year on liability you fucking retard. What shit provider do you have
John Wood
What I liked about the cx was that it was extremely comfy for both the rider and the passenger, but it has shit suspension and brakes. I could hustle it around corners because it was my only vehicle and I got in tune with the bike but it needed a lot of help.
Jeremiah Perez
Fuck of kkk Veeky Forums isn't your personal advice column Attention where faggot
Bentley Moore
Highsided my DR650 after botching a burnout. The handlebars are not aligned with the wheel; they point right when going straight.
I straightened it out a bit by propping the wheel against a tree and forcing the bars back, but it is still slightly misaligned.
I also discovered that my bars do not stop when turning right until the forks hit the gas tank, left is fine. Did some googling and I bet the steering stop is broke.
Anyone know if it's safe to ride without the steering stop? Also can my steering be realigned by forcing it more, or should I just bust out the toolbox?
Pic related, my newfound right turning capabilities.
Noah Cox
Forks might just be tweaked. Riding without steering stops is fine just be aware.
