Right turns are still turns scrub

People in my area used to tell me the same thing as an excuse for their strips. I found them wrong shortly after I got my bike. All it takes is to ride around exploring new roads and you'll find one with curves eventually

strips as requested

>new tripfag

Well there is one place east of Des Moines that's reasonably curvy (a little nature preserve southwest of Prairie City). Some decent elevation changes over a couple miles, then it's either dirt roads or going the same way back. Nothing properly twisty like Sunspot Highway in New Mexico, but it'll suffice for now.

bring in the other excuses!

>but i don't want to slip on wet leaves, gravel, tar snakes, or horse poo. what IS a sighting run anyways?
>too much slow rural traffic mayne! i can't pass on a double yellow even when i'm breaking the speed limit!

and if you really can't ride any twisties anywhere you can always conefag

>i'd just crash
>conewhat?
>that's only for police cruisers, sportbikes can't do it
>i already passed the DMV test thanks
>there's no gymkhana group near me and i'm too lazy to set up my own cones

or even track days

>$150 for one whole day of riding as fast as i want? hell nah.
>i don't own full leathers but still think i should lean elsewhere

Those are thicc with two Cs

There needs to be a race where instead of Factory Riders the entrants are bike owners drawn from new bike warranty registries.

>pirellis with strips
literally lmaoing at your skills

just go to a track and watch C group

are you running mismatched tire profiles man? i lean further than that leaving my driveway

>go around a roundabout for five minutes
I am guilty as fuck.

Not the guy you replied to, but what I'm saying is I miss the hell out of the mountains in New Mexico. Iowa ain't flat, but the roads aren't nearly so varied and entertaining.

>realize this is only one of my baiku pics on my Surface
Dammit. I should probably be studying my work-related materials anyway.

would be a lot like this except on 2 wheels

There are people who can't go around a roundabout faster than 10mph without crashing, even in cars

leans are leans

Thats the point.

theres a pretty large roundabout near me. it's dangerous as fuck. my friend tboned a car because they entered and stopped right in front of him, and the same has almost happened to me several times. it is fun to hoon on when it's empty though.

webm related, watch the left
>americans

>dbt discusses others chicken strips
>without posting their own awesome stripless tyres
Typical

Is there somewhere I can find resources on fine tuning suspension setups?

I know the basics of what each do and how they interact and change the ride, and have been fucking with mine, but it's at the point where I honestly can't judge what is better when I don't have a reference point of a properly setup bike to refer too.

didn't talk shit about stripes because I hav commuter stripes.

My bike is in a storage unit and i'm buying new tires in the spring, probably something like angel GTs because chip and seal roads hold water too well

screencap this. i will have strips to post around july 4-5 2017.

maybe check out dave moss's guides and videos. But if you got it to the point where it feels good and any adjustment doesn't feel better then it probably won't get any better without dumping money into it

Check your owners manual.

>there are idiots out there that take the fender off because of "muh asthetics"

The rearmost portion of the fender on sportbikes is pretty useless

It only exists to satisfy government regs regarding mudguard height

no

>mfw I'm in the OP pic
luv u guys

go sit on your dildo

No one cares what gay poofter faggots think.

Look mom I posted it again!

>tfw can't ride for a long ass time most likely

I'll message you and keep the date safe and sound so I can post about it and you get to have the copy.

kuks

muh carbed r6 doesnt start , fuel pump working but and it cranks sounds like a very slow cranck and like its dying


battery? push start it?

Push
Dunno the specifics for a 4pot, but on my v2 i have to get it to 15kmh in 2nd

battery

impressive! !!

Probably your battery. Try pushstarting

>Carbed
>fuel pump

Thats a thing.

The 1973 Dodge Charger I once had has a mechanical fuel pump. The float, needle, and venturi system determine whether or not the engine ingests the fuel. It is not necessary on every vehicle, but some designs do.

A lot of carbed bikes have electric fuel pumps

Kek even late 70's and 1980's like the goldwing had that. Your nobike is showing laddy.

>brain
>activity

kek

the only carbed vehicles i've ever seen were gravity/vacuum fed

What a cuckold

carbs are for poor people

>carbs are for poor people
What is the...
Beast of Turin
Porsche 356
Ferrari 250 series
Dodge Charger Daytona/Plymouth Superbird
etc.

If you don't put FI in those you're a poor boomer

wow!!!!

I can't afford any of them, so I am a poor Gen Y.

Clean your fucking spokes holy fuck

What the fuck else is rusted and dirty?

ur moms pusi lmaaaaaoooooo

do you know how much of a pain it is to clean off every spoke of a wheel?

especially with 17 years of dirt on it

you just put WD40 on a scotch brite pad, or one of those tiny multi-sided brushes

More WD40.

well
where do I get WD40 as a private user

Today is the day I'll know if my bike pass the inspection

any store that sells any liquid ever.

Start by looking outside the "private lubricants" section. It's not there.

can't deal kek

>Inspections
>Emissions testing
>Illegal marajawanas

Three things I'm glad to live without.

downsides: rain, snow, crazy suburbanites in jeeps

>drugs
kys
>not road legal vehicles without breaking power because lol no inspection

nigga

xt booooiiiii

>kys
Working on it
>m8
Inspections here would just be sportbikes getting the book thrown at them for fender eliminators and missing huffy reflectors and harleys being told to ride safe

i can guarantee it because >aging liberals

>inspection only for bikes
what fuk

>only

Frenchman pls

only motorcycle inspections were mentioned
not motorcycle only inspections

that's what I wanted to say it would be good to have inspection for everything because
>implying Stacy would maintain her jeep

But then you either fuck over bikes, or push the special treatment thing too far

Bikers get to run catless full systems and tune as much as they want. Everyone else in king/snohomish/methland either reverts every other year or drives a 25 year old girl.

>not allowing catless systems is fucking over bikers
muh special treatment

>mt-bro became a cafefag
>125 squad is getting SV650s
>father is getting a scoot
Everyone told me i was suicidal for doing 125-250-750, but now all those faggots want a big boi bike too

kys cuckboi

Kys my as wrcuck

Why are you so mad user? What's wrong?

but how did u know
I'm still alive

I've read some conflicting opinions about aftermarket vs oem stators. Not sure what to believe
Read up on head gaskets. Mine is cometic
I'd swap all the rubber. Clutch arm seal, countershaft at least
spark plug?
MCCT?
cooling system...check water pump, hoses, oversize radiators?

We should start a /dbt/ in /vip/, all the shitposters would be gone and we get a nice thread

>inb4 only harleyposter has pass as the rest ate poorfags

How do I remove this last part of strips?

What year , cc kawasaki ninja is this???
I got it as a gift and know next to nothing about it. Honestly i dont know where else to ask

Honestly I've ridden maybe 5 days on my new tyres, not one of them dry, and I have less strips. Are you American?

>I got it as a gift
>I don't know abything about bikes
Fuck you. Also I'm sorry for your parkinson.

2014 650cc

look in the papers

stop being American

Looks like a great first bike but start saving now as you'll want a turbobusa like my 13 year old nephew soon

>doesn't post pic
Sure you have, friend, sure you have.

>cover exhaust with hand
>bike keeps running perfectly fine
Where is all the gas going?

Do you want me to go and take a picture? It's hardly an achievement

leaking

Shouldn't you be in Gotham, Batman?

I'm gonna take an educated guess and assume that's not harmful.

>not posting from Gotham

I'm not a burger and I can't hit the twisties with ice on the road. Also I can't feel my hands with these gloves.
Do it or shut the fuck up.

Everyone believes he's street rossi in here.

>getting around a range ban
Wew lad

I am a street rossi tho

You realise that's a full third of the tyre you're not using. I hope you don't have a sport bike as you're kinda wasting the entire point of the bike and making yourself uncomfortable to pose. And with tyres like that, you won't be posing in front of anyone who knows their onions.
