buy new one or stop doing things you know nothing about.
Camden Gomez
Drill it and tap it lol.
that or put a pair of vice grips on it, is already fucked right?
Matthew Butler
How can you be this retarded to not stop while it was obvious it was being stripped.
Justin Martin

why is this shit so hard

You are low test. Inject hormones.
Hudson Hughes
I just got to the point where I was going to bleed this shit. It was fucked before I touched it.
Vice grips it is.
Kayden Bennett
>helmet do want
Oliver Cook
I was thinking about my cheap pakistani motorcycle jacket and noticed it lacks chest protection.
I'm considering buying like a black Icon motocross chest protector and wearing it under a Carhartt jacket or the such.
I think road rash is overrated and leaning toward hard armor that will keep my bones intact.
Lucas Clark
In future don't use imperial tools on metric bolts, hows that one sound?
too hard for an American i know, but that is where you fucked up. .2 of a mm too big of a socket/spanner is a huge amount out when it comes to stripping bolrs, you even have evidence of this.
Jaxon Allen
>He dosent own a metric tool set
Jose Long
Nice dude, good job wearing a seatbelt.

I live in america
why the fuck would I own metric stuff, we don't use that system here

well that bike is all metric shit for future reference.

how is this even posible

No fucking shit it's not like I hadn't realized that the whole time I've been working on it.

New bike, who dis?

Modern american cars use metric but i bet youre to poor to have a car that was not made 40 years ago
Grayson Fisher
do americans even own superior metric tools?

What are the chances I can get an Indian scout if I walk into a dealership with $8,000 dollars cash at a dealership next week

godspeed

So Americans only have quality tools if they buy quality things that require them?
Makes sense, anything that uses nothing but imperial is always terrible when it comes to every aspect of quality, otherwise why would NASA use metric?
Julian Peterson
Post your memebikes

Ethan Robinson
>being proud of using inches kek
Elijah Thompson
Anything to do with building buildings in the US, and the associated things inside, is all done in SAE. This market is much, much bigger than the auto industry
Gavin Peterson
That has nothing to do with sockets. Sockets are SAE.
Connor Brown
Because you dropped out of school.
Adrian Clark
sae is inches. how is it not imperial? you measure your sockets in inches, it makes no god damned sense. especially when you realise an sae socket will kinda almost fit most metric bolts just enough to strip them.
shit like you have to use a 21/64 on an 8mm socket and it is .3 of a mm too big.
Ryan Butler
I genuinely challenge you to find a bolt that uses a 21/64 head, and the associated socket in use anywhere.
Christopher Brown
:^)
Landon Collins
Society of Automotive Engineers, even oil is sae.
Dylan Lewis
100% Memevalves and single-sided memearm reporting in.
Bong here, we use metric for almost everything nowadays. The only things I can think of that aren't are:
>Weight - It's about an even mix of stone/lbs and kilos. >Pints of stuff - Everything else is in litres, but milk and beer is still pints. >Height - Still feet and inches, probably because it's easier for people to visualise. >Long distances - Miles >Speed - Mph
Oh, and for some reason, industrial tubing thicknesses/diameters are often still imperial.
William Carter
none in merica will, the point is that is what most americans will use on an 8mm bolt to strip it though.
Camden Thompson
or i guess they might hammer a 5/16 onto an 8m...?
Logan Reyes
No, most Americans when working on a Japanese bike use metric and use 10mm for all but two bolts because everything is 10mm.
How dense are you?
Kevin Price
Somebody should fund a comedy show about americans professionals trying to deal with the metric system.
Eli Ross
Little bit less dense than water, somewhere around 985 kg/m3
Anthony Baker

Eurocucks jealous that lowly Mexican carpenters have a better understanding of fractions than they do.
Landon Harris
Yeah, but you're retarded and ride bikes that barely crack 15kmh
Jace Ramirez
It was $40.
She's still alive and walking though right?
Lucas Sanders
Tru. The key is to not crash
Evan Carter
Sure, but isn't it better to have no broken bones AND no road rash?
Jace Gonzalez
>american professionals are mexicans
Sounds about right.
Noah Cox
So my service manual says to loosen the axle nut on the left but every video has someone using a wench on the right in the opposite direction. Am i fine to just have a go at only the axle nut
also is normal household water pressure through a nozzle on a hose fine for spraying down the engine and lower triple tree
Brayden Ortiz
hey boyos
new to bikes here. are 300cc sportbikes more fun than 650 dual sports?
Angel Reed
gtfo with your gay ass metric system
Carson Brooks
lolno
Noah Jackson
>300cc sports bike
Hudson Perry
only if it actually has a decent power/weight ratio
like my bike
James Allen
You'll probably be fine to loosen the left one, but you might need a spanner on the other side to hold the opposing nut, to prevent the axle from just spinning.
As for the hose, you should be fine as long as it's not being sprayed through a nozzle on a 'jet' setting or anything.
It's entirely subjective, but I'd say that a 650 dual sport is more versatile, and will almost definitely accelerate faster in all gears. Obviously, the 300 might offer a more refined experience/engine character, and be happier on the highway (for a given value of happy), but that's more or less where the clear advantages end.
Personally, I'd either pick the dual sport, or look at 500s if you still want sport styling/sportish ergonomics.
Lucas Roberts
>to prevent the axle from just spinning. fook
now i need to find a wrench
Samuel Martinez
>not gearing up so you can ride like a moron
Christopher Gray
youll never get faster till you crash a few dozen times
also, chicks dig scars
Jackson Martin
Yeah, hence the Carhartt jacket + pants. A Icon vest wouldn't fit over or under my current moto jacket.
Idk I ride a KLR650 and commute on it and full moto armor would be excessive.
So im leaning toward hard armor worn over or under normal people clothes. Not going to run errands or go to work wearing racing leathers on a shitty KLR.
I have nice medical insurance so I just mostly don't want to die or be crippled. If I lose a little booty meat in a slide cause I'n wearing Dickies instead of motorcycle pants I can live with that.
Jack Perez
Bit of a long shot, but does an Aus chic who rides a seriously fucking worked/custom TW200/TW225 post here?
Just ran into her tearing up the Adelaide hills, had a /dbt/ sticker on the back of her helmet.
>tfw couldn't keep up with her through the twisties and completely lost her
Thomas Young
what does /dbt/ think as far as how these look
Jordan Green
>look they look faaaaaabulous.
Brayden Gonzalez
Anyone know what bike this is?
Brandon Rodriguez
I need them for work as well as riding, so alpine star leg dildos aren't gonna cut it.
I just wanna know if they look too xxXXTACTICOOLXXxx before I spring for them
James Walker
>tfw you are so slow you can't keep up to a sheila on a tw225 git gud m8
Ian Lewis
Front fairing is Honda CBR Undertail means around 06 model year Can't tell if 600 or 1k
Oliver Gray
>new bleeder screw >Clutch is gravity bleeding >It fucking starts on starter fluid It runs like shit right now though, and dies with more than a quarter throttle. Any ideas?
Matthew Cook
There's a 2006 ninja 250 for sale an hour out for only $1000, has
Jaxon Myers
Main jets clogged?
Jack Walker
I really hope not. These pipes are loud as shit though.
It'll get up to 6k rpm of I hold it at half throttle but it's hard to get there
Camden Walker
Unless it's in perfect condition externally you probably can't get $2000 for it. The age and 300 meme is finally starting to kill the Ninja 250 market.
Lincoln Reyes
this guy gets it
Carson Stewart
Definitely the jets. Buy some Pinesol.
Carter Wright
It's a 2006/7 Honda CBR1000RR Fireblade, but with a slightly different side fairing. The other panels are all original, from the looks of it, just that panel's different.
Cooper Anderson
WHERE THE FUCK DID I LOSE MY DISC LOCK REEEE
Anthony Campbell
Maybe that's why it's $1000 to begin with. If I could expect $30 to rebuild the carbs and ~$60 state sales theft, what kind of profit margin would I be looking at if I spend $1100 on it? Could I sell it for $1800-ish? Lowest I'd want to even get involved with would be a $500 profit, so could it fetch at least $1600 fully operational do you think?
Jace Morris
Mother fucker I just soaked the fuckers in Pine Sol for two days. And I soaked the Jets in carb solution. They looked clear
Colton Cooper
You could probably sell it for 1400. They're not worth shit.
