Butthurt yurocucks that cant buy a busa as a first bike

Hello, I'm No One.
Fucking love their food and beer. And they're like our retarded brothers, can't hate them.

You mean finance and get repoed.

I love you too south africa friend

>Dumb and fat American starts on a supersport and ends up killing himself

Lol

Honestly, I was super autistic before I got a bike. Unfortunately I still am, but at least now I am confident in myself.

Yesterday was a beautiful day for a ride, we had our first group ride of the season. We found some new twisties that go past a state park with waterfalls. My fat ass was able to keep up too. Good shit.

Cleaning chain and took off front cover for the first time for lols and find a bunch of grease...why? I want to clean this up with some kerosene but is this grease supposed to be here? I think it's flung of old lube maybe? Looks weird though

Its normal

Its the one spot I dont worry about keeping clean on my bike

> repost for advice

Cleaned my carbs after getting random flat spots and sometimes unstable idle.

Didn't manage to take the carbs apart, so I just sprayed carb cleaner into the throats of each. Took a loooot of cranking to get up, but now it sounds a fuckton more aggressive and idles stably, but im worried it's sounding that way because I haven't tightened something (even though I made triple sure to leave everything as I found it) or I've lost a cylinder or fucked a spark plug when cranking or something.

Should I be worried about the "improved" sound, even if the idle issue seems solved and it seems to rev cleanly now?

Man buys sport bike, loses self control, dies in crash! Many such cases!

Definitely normal, its just where the lube tends to end up as the chain spins and flings it off. Some lubes are better than others for flinging, but then they tend to be stickier and pick up more dirt, so the compromise is up to you

Hello what is meaning of squid to motorcyclers?

Huh. Well alright, thx user. First bike so I'm glad I didn't fk up yet.

I miss oregon

You would know if you werent running on a cylinder, trust me.

Just ride it and enjoy. Any damage done by just spraying cleaner in there is already done by now anyways

it's a rough translation of the inuit word yammienoob

a person who rides recklessly, usually without any regard for their own or other's safety

It's when the road is as slippery as a squid, when you slip on it but don't crash then you're a 'squid'.

stupid, quick, unprotected, and imminently dead

okay but is it called squid, squid is a 10 legged octopud. what do sea animals have to do with motocycler drivers like us?

Reported for reporting.

Bikers look like squids with their guts splattered across the road.

Squids like to wrap themselves around things

Idiot motorcyclers like to wrap themselves around things

There are many definitions of squid and no one knows which is the original: shortening Squirrely Kid, the way a crashed bikers guts look hanging out of his torso, I think there's another I can't remember.

probably a contraction of "squirrely kid", probably started with surfers

If it makes you feel any better

I laffed

indicators are probably an easy fix, loose, dirty or not well protected cable somewhere

Now add

its probably true

Comfy, look like a motorbike, not a fucking powerranger beyblade 8yo's wet dream, get yo bitch on the back, absolutely walk anything this side of a 911 turbo without even downshifting (even with said bitch on the back), still handle fine, aside from being a little underdamped.

These work too, better on the highway because fairing, but you lose a lot of style points.
underage b& fuck off.

That's the only good thing, they fixed themselves after the drop.

Did you just have an aneurysm?

???

That's why I posted it. I feel pretty much like I did after I botched my first riding exam 2 years ago when I was new.

Oh also the indicator problem is most likely the switch. I cleaned it a while ago but I didn't have copper paste so just sprayed WD-40 on and prayed it would be good enough. It's annoying to get to though; to open up the switch housing I have to remove the choke cable, which means I need to remove the tank as well.

>look like a motorbike, not a fucking powerranger beyblade 8yo's wet dream
Still too much like one for my taste.

looks pretty bland tbqh

Also, do not get kero anywhere near your chain, dumbass.
Any solvent will remain buried in the links and continue to decompose whatever actual lubricant you use on the chain, accelerating wear.
Unfortunately motorcycle drive chains are dirty, gotta learn to deal with it.
You clean your chain correctly by brushing/wiping off excess debris, and adding more lube.

kerosene is what you're supposed to use, dingus

I'm not even meme when I say all the new bikes I've seen look like a bunch of knives welded together.

Why can`t we go back to what an RGV 250 or GpZ 900 looked like.

What is a Super Bol D'or

This is how rapists lives are before they go to jail for rape, kids.
You shouldn't feel bad about locking them away, really it's the kindest thing for them.
They get to see their friends every day, it doesn't matter that they can't get girls to like them because in their new life there are no girls, and the state does their laundry and gives them tendies.

Because old looking things look old and people buy new things to be new.

I'm a big fan of visible tubular steel frames, for sure.

That looks like shit. Giraffe neck.

Yeah, my Bandit's an S, but bikini fairings really don't count.

i must have gotten half a pound of that shit out of my sprocket cover when i took it off.

posted in wrong thread before i realized there was a new one

I've been spamming it (I'm the primary poster of the bike) for a while and everyone seems to be agreeing with my now

And I'm telling you that's wrong, dingus.
You're getting your advice from the 70's.
A modern O-ring chain already has its links lubed, what you spray on it serves to grease the contact faces between the sprockets and the chain.
Using any thin penetrant at all can contaminate the o-ring seals and lubrication, and it's not coming out once it's in there.
Pic related, read the very first paragraph.

how does the good old simple green play into this?

A kinked / stuck chain link means replace the whole chain, right?

>use our branded chain cleaner
>the off brand stuff could damage your chain :^)
how to get goy'd 101

all cleaners are solvents which are inherently bad for things like rubber seals, albeit, simple green is much less volatile than something like kerosene.

just wipe your chain clean and re-lube it. applying clean grease and rubbing it in is already a cleaning process, not to mention, your chain is flinging actual shit off itself constantly.

tri flow sells spray silicon lube and degreaser if you are really concerned about cleaning. they're both kind of wet and might help to wipe a chain clean

Don`t pick on the poor lad. If want a laugh look no further.

kerosene is absolutely fine on your o-rings
wd-40 is like 99% kerosene youtube.com/watch?v=Fzyk4nq3ug0

is axel grease a good lube

20 year old virgin reporting in. At least my bikes never turn me down

it means your chain is probably getting to the end of its lifespan yes.

Stiff links mean the rings are fucked, time to replace.

What is he going to buy next?

>cleaning or lubing your chain
>2017
It's really not worth the time or cost of the supplies to do chain "maintenance." In modern sealed chains, the difference in wear is marginal. I'd rather have my chain last only 75% as long as yours than to spend 15 minutes and $5 in chemicals after every ride.

a casket

possibly thinks its time to move up to a literbike

Striple RS, and he's going to talk about how "mature" he is now and "supersports are for kids" and "nakeds are just as fast"
>until he t bones a soccer mom at an intersection

You're missing the point. It's about not wanting things to get past the O-rings and wash out the sealed bearings contained within. The O-rings will keep the original lube in and debris out, because debris is big, and the sealed lube is thick. Spraying a PENETRATING LUBRICANT like fucking Water Dispersant-40 on it is a bad idea. You think the people who make the damned chains don't know how to maintain them but your fucking hick uncle does? The main point the make is just wipe the abrasive dirt and shit off and spray more chain lube on it. End of story.
Yes. Chains are cheap, broken chains kill people.

lol

ok fine, it doesnt hurt the rubber rings, but when he takes the o-ring off in the vid, you see a white residue left behind. thats the grease which a solvent will thin out and eventually remove.

if youre cleaning with a liquid solvent, put a liquid lube back into the chain, then grease over it at the end.

yeah probably. i use bel ray waterproof for most things

in the end, yeah its not really worth it. just do the bare minimum to keep it the outside from rusting too much.

While driving on the highway today my engine revved from 6k to 11k while in overdrive gear, it sounded as if the clutch was being held but it didn't drop in terms of acceleration but did give a weird feeling, what happened?

This, just keep it clean ish.

maybe the gear wasn't fully engaged

yeah I thought so, I just ordered a new one. Had one snap on the highway once, was lucky it didn't go through my leg or engine block

clutch slipped.

might be worn, or you got to much or the wrong kind of oil.

>while in "overdrive gear"
>two bikes in photo, completely different, not important to tell you which one is mine

Never breed.
Do nothing to fix your bike, with any luck you'll be killed in an accident shortly.

is there footage of any of his wrecks?

and how many has he had?

...

Yep, time for a new clutch, or stop using "friction modifier" oil. Or both.

Two afaik

One where he couldnt make a gravceful slight bend and flew off the road

The second when he lost a game of chicken with a porsche.

Why do you post this in every thread again?

that looks fucking terrifying

Nar. Retro steez, retro fairing.
It's hot.

is there a video of the first? i know the new crash vid has been taken down
