Technically a poo-in-the-loo bike, but people don't have to know that.
If you mean a Bell Revolver EVO, then that's probably one of the worst modular helmets I've ever seen in person. Heavy as fuck and shitty everything else to boot. Probably won't die but it sure is a bad helmet compared to other modulars of the same price.
In with underpowered boring bike
Sweet cafe bike
I bought it from a guy who used to race in an amateur 1000cc superstock class. He did the performance related mods in terms of engine internals and cam profile, ignition setup etc.
I bought it from him non road legal, put on the akrapovic and got it redyno'd for the new exhaust. The stock cancer Suzuki ship the bike with has a butterfly in the exhaust which is electrically operated to modulate backpressure and control emissions. He had a non road legal exhaust which I wouldnt be able to use in this country on the road
The GSXR is factory restricted as standard both top speed and rate of acceleration. The Nikko GPack does away with timing retardation.
I installed the WP rear shock, and changed the clip ons to a slightly more aggressive profile with renthal bars, pulls me flatter on the tank and gets a bit more of my weight over the front wheel to make the front wheel more controllable
I then fit lights and all that shit to make it road legal so I can commute as well as track it.
Put some other shit on like R&G frame sliders, bar ends, clutch and stator cover protection because I'm going to drop it eventually and it's a Suzuki you add cancerous shit to "personalise" it.
Oh new adjustable rearsets also because I am tall
Is there a such thing as an aftermarket "streetfighter/cafe racer" headlight that actually has decent light output?
AFAIK tacking an OEM item to your forks is better and cheaper 100% of the time.
All I know is there's a gorillion ktm like conversions and they all look like ass
I'm going to get a 2001 triumph Sprint 955 for my first bike. Am I going to an hero?
Probably
>claims he tracks it
>doesn't have pics
Come on. Everyone takes pics at the track
after you realize what you done yes.
Seconding this, I bought one and wanted a new one after a year, luckily I won a Star, which still isn't great. Bell sucks.
I dont even have a pic of the bike on this PC just videos I backed up from commuting.
Anyway, all I've seen from the doubters so far is a bunch of poorfaggots claiming they own a Honda Fireblade and then posting up a stock image from the back of mom's minivan.
Maybe? It's a fairly heavy and powerful sport tourer, not as bad as a supersport though. Is a good bike though.
A lot of new riders on big bikes lug the engine all the time because they're scared of the power. This can make it easier to crash, especially in corners, and also make it scarier and unsettle the chassis when the power does come on when it would normally be a smoother progression from some power to more power.
Learn to love that powerband
You've got a penis but you don't go round raping everyone do you. Well maybe you do. My point is just because you are equipped to do something stupid doesn't mean you do
Someone recommend a webm converter that gets shit below 3mb for the upload limit?
More shitty resolution from the gopro thanks to autotune. Also this bike was setup for someone 5'7 and nearly killed my back. The best R1 they ever made IMO
what lifts/stands do you guys use?
I want to swap out a rear shock but my bike's exhaust runs right under the engine block and it looks like most stands don't leave room for that.
webm for retards. set resolution to 960x540
If you don't do the MSF basic riders course, yes.
Abba bike lift if your bike is compatible.
I'm that Jew I'm using an online converter
What bike?
>Not having a center stand
I jack it up and put a block under the exhaust
Homemade
sv650
is the weight of the front of the bike resting on the exhaust?
yes, almost all of the weight is on the exhaust. The bike is almost perfectly balanced at that point so there's only a couple pounds on the rear stand.
>rear shock
getting the swingarm unloaded is just a bitch.
Oh Lawd. How to break your headers
Needs a larger tbag
get a bike without underslung exhaust m8
if you get one like this you can build an adapter to fit around the pipes to get a suitable hard point
the headers are fine. they're meant for this. IIRC there's a brace on them going up to the sump so all the weight isn't being transferred on a huge lever to the flange on the engine
Don't look at me ...I'm poopan...
>yes, almost all of the weight is on the exhaust
huh. I didn't think you could do that
wew
>Exhaust headers are designed to take the weight of the bike

If there's a car jack nearby, I use that. If not, I put it on plastic bucket or something.

The center stand.
If I need more room I put two tiles down to put the center stand on.

The first think you will be tempted to do on a big bike is to grab a handful of right grip. I did that my first time on the R1 for the lulz, the back span up and fishtailed for about 30 yards.
You need to get used to the weight/size of the bike. Find a big open space like a disused warehouse parking lot and do some slow speed manouvers. It should have sufficient power to ride around at a slow pace with no throttle input. Ride round cones and shit, the sort of stuff I imagine they do on the MSF- I wouldn't know I did my license in the UK. If you have ridden dirt you should have sufficient experience not to shut the throttle off immediately if/when the back spins up. I assume the dirt bikes were 2 strokers so a bit more revvy than the 4 stroke equivalents.
Do you have advanced rider qualifications in the states? We have them, you can go out with the Police and they will teach you basic first aid (I think) as road positioning, how to read the road etc.
TL;DR:
Don't be a daft cunt and you will be fine, car drivers will be your biggest concern

No problem user, keep up the quality posts
You think you're gonna make it to SAM?
I went and test rode a few bikes today, but unfortunately they didn't have a 690 out, I asked but they only ones they had were showroom new and they didn't want any test rides on them :(
My doggo is can't move around anymore, I have to carry her outside :(
Enjoy your puppers while they are around, lads
Cats>dogs
Nobody is making it to sam because it's not happening
i do every day m8
upload snowmobile willies
nigga they cant do willies, barely any power or tread.
they do land like a box of rocks though
If it happens, i'd like to go. Especially since I live on the east coast currently, but i'm about to change careers and move, etc.
Plus, I'm not sure how i feel about hanging out with autists.
I hope you die honestly family
>pup related
I never realized I wanted this so bad until I had seen it
I hope your dog dies. Horribly and in front of you
You can lick a bag of cacti
I legit hope this is a troll post
Is this the same doggo I see on /g/ all the time?
The robots usually don't go to meets. Plus I figure if people are actually that wierd I'll bring a good book with me to read while camping or whatever we are doing when not riding
Shouldn't be too bad especially because I don't live too far from the east coast
Doggos
New to Veeky Forums ehh?
You are really convinced calling people robots sounds clever huh
Doggos are neat

Tip that fedora fella
dog people have to strive to be the person their dogs think they are

posting in the dog bro thread.
come back with some fresher memes
What do you mean?
First time I have posted that here, but it's like you've never been to r9k
People say robots all over this place, I see it on biz all the time too

Where do you guys park your bike? I'm about to buy a bike, but live in an apartment in NYC and don't have any garage or anything to park it in, and I'm worried someone will steal it even with locks.
>saying my memes arent fresh
ISHYGDDT
>/r9k/
You need to go back
*fedora tipping intensifies*
I leave my bike outside, uncovered, no anti theft device.
I love everything about it.
Should have street modded an H2R then hung touring shit all over it.
Bonus points if you took those stupid LED cube headlights that BMW retards always put on their bikes and mount them on the front carbon fiber spoilers.
In the garage where they belong.
>He hasn't spent time on every board
Sad desu
But why hate on bmw riders? Did they molest you or something?
I dont have to hate a certain group of people to know they are retarded user.
