How to make a motorcycle quieter? My bike is an underpowered turd and while its faster than 70% of the vehicles on the road, it has an aftermarket exhaust liberating 0.24 horses and sounds absolutely pathetic, loud and struggling when at wot.
Would rather the bike be quiet instead of everyone noticing me giving everything to pass a car at 65mph or just trying to get to 45mph from a green light.
Robert Moore
It's called a mufflar
Kayden Watson
It has a mufflar but it is not mufflayed enough. Its an older bike so stock mufflars are not particularly quiet.
I'm also cheap as fuck and was wondering if there was an easy way to make a bike quieter without replacing the muffalar.
Bentley Moore
Could you repack it with something to quiet it up?

whoa there buddy watch out with those wheelies or that one user might start sperging about how supermotos are memes and you should have just put dualsport tires on your 18/21 wheelset
Jeremiah Howard
I was pulling my bike into the garage, and I scraped the tank decal on my trailer. Anyone have a good place to get new stickers for a KTM Duke?
Carson Smith
nevermind he already did

David Parker
this is bretty bad for your kickstand
Liam Murphy
fuelly. Or you could simply do it yourself. Miles travelled/ gallons of fuel consumed. It's that easy
Mason Gray
no it's not, most of your weight is over the wheels. in fact, it probably takes weight OFF of your kickstand compared to when the bike is resting on it
Eli Mitchell
The kickstands on DR-Zs are amazingly strong. You can put the entire weight of the bike on it, or hang off the bike on the stand letting all your weight transfer to the stand. They just won't break.
Dylan Rodriguez
yeah but I only tend to remember price, not the fuel amount itself
Ayden White
You're retarded lmao It isn't bad for it, but you're so wrong lol

just do it at the pump? >fill up >calculate mpg on phone >keep riding
Matthew Butler
Thinking of buying a motorcycle when I am of legal age (19 in the US, one year away) what is a good beginner bike? I don't want a crazy naked bike. I was thinking maybe a dual sport of something of the like
David Rogers
What the fuck where do u live that it's 19? I'm 18 and have had my license for over a year
Jonathan Thomas
What state? In my state it's 16 with parental permission, or 18 without.

looks like your kickstand is too long

Oliver Phillips
should i move on to a liter bike after my GS500 or get this SV650?
Hunter Green
Uncle gave me his old jacket, what do you guys think?
Zachary Campbell
>sit on bike >suspension compresses, bike is more vertical >weight shifts towards wheels, off kickstand
Connor White
Man hands, man ass, you aint foolin anyone there tiger
Also we can't even see the jacket properly
Nolan Reed
think you should suckstart a shotgun faggot
Luis Bennett
oi you managed to put some meat on your bones you trap faggot
Jackson Clark
did kit kat get his ass waxed?
SV650 is breddy gud
definitely a lot faster than GS500 even if it doesn't sound like it on paper
David Rivera
in Virginia you have to be at least 19
Matthew Richardson
might be working this out wrong but my little yammy did 120mpg...?
and it's in dire need of a tune up I don't even think the tyres are inflated properly
Logan Wood
>implying the gs500 is faster than any bike
Jose Watson
Lol move down a state you cuckold Virginia traffic laws are so fucked
(((Also I need a roommate in NC)))
Cooper Fisher
You worked it out wrong. thats like 1.5 litres/100km which just is not doable on any bike.
Sebastian Anderson
It's faster than a GROM
Hunter Moore
goddamnit Veeky Forums stop trying to make me gay
Adrian Carter
you're wrong. some of that weight goes onto the kickstand. quite a bit of it actually. unless you're leaning way to the right side I don't know how you think pressing down would put less weight on the kickstand.
Levi Adams
Either your doors are made for giants or you are both a manlet and weak faggot. Unlucky
Benjamin Smith
point is it's not much
Luke Carter
>he can't divide
Brayden Morales
i bet but I want to take a look at some liter bikes too. that desire of wanting ''''more''' is always there.
Kayden Morales
who cares? its not a shitty wr250r that has a kickstand mount made of plasticine
Andrew Ortiz
I know. I'm but you're wrong
Nathan Ross
>or you are both a manlet and weak faggot I'm average height, no bully
Parker Cox
whats wrong with wr250r kickstand?
only bikes you can't stand on and lean on the kickstand like that are ducatis
William Miller
>I'm average height, no bully >I'm average height >average height >average I'm 1.87 Metres, whats your average?
Sebastian King
From what i have heard the mount that holds the kick stand on the wr250r bends any time the bike hits the ground on that side.
Isaac Kelly
Also KTMs. >kickstand breaks. replace kickstand >kickstand mount bolt breaks. replace bolt >mounting tab breaks. give up
Kayden Wood
>From what i have heard stopped reading there, kill yourself
Ryder Adams
open genitals bb
Hunter Hill
>having a kick stand on a ktm who even does that? that is just added weight
Luis Moore
ok fine I'm 1 inch under average
Luke Flores
So i have to buy a wr250r and bend the kick stand mount before i can have a valid opinion on the topic right? can't read the dozens of reviews where they mention it or anything..
Cameron Sullivan
thats above average
subtract 2-3 in. thats average
Nathaniel Scott
looking for baiku buttbuddies in montreal anyone?
Hudson Carter
mine also has a battery electric starter, lights, cam, and valves. Gay, right?
Gavin Allen
>frogs
Jose Roberts
>So i have to buy a wr250r and bend the kick stand mount before i can have a valid opinion on the topic right? yes
nobody gives a shit about what you read online about a bike you don't own, faggot
>mfw i have a wr250r >mfw i stand on the peg to mount it literally every time >mfw it's a 2009 and kickstand is just fine
Carter Reed
imagine having a street bike without a side stand >cars/people can't knock it over in the parking lot >it gets run over instead
James Jenkins
Should I do it?
Why/Why not?
Justin Sanders
I took the stand, battery and electric start off and put the SX side cover on, dropped the weight to about 105kg with a full tank of fuel
Ian Rivera
>no title pass. not worth the hassle
Liam Foster
>steering fluid
Noah Watson
basically trash without a title
Sebastian Butler
>steering fluid >i lost the title dafuq
Julian Kelly
It is stolen and he is trying to convince people it is not stolen
Connor Gray
>Not at-least giving me your country so I can google it and more or less determine your heights based on that. Now I have to type this extra long green text shit post because I am triggered, but you forced my hand. Reply to this post or you bike will tern into a scooter while you sleep. Yet we find ourselves in this predicament, of my shit post, caused by your vague answers. The only way to fix this, and save your bikes, is to either give me your heights or allow me to determine them by intelligence gathering. tldr; Give me your heights so I can laugh.
Brody James
The 450/525 is allegedly 118kg stock. I assume that's wet but not sure. I wish I could weigh mine.
Luis Kelly
>being a lanklet on daily bike thread You realise that is not an advantage here right?
Aiden Cox
>250 >clean >no title Nah senpai just get something else.
Lincoln Brown
Maybe he means that it needs steering fluid in the forks?
I'm not into bikes so I don't know what kind of fluid goes in there but there are only so many weights of oil and petroleum products you can buy
Isaiah Barnes
Who cares about height. What's that waist and chest size. That's what matters
Owen Davis
>steering fluid in the forks? >I'm not into bikes I can tell
Blake Mitchell
Nah 113kg dry with a 9 litre fuel capacity, i have an 08 450exc-r as well it just doesnt run atm
Andrew Edwards
Fork oil goes in forks.
Jackson Nelson
He probably checked the brake fluid and thinks its power steering fluid because he is tarded.

>adjusting chain >wheel won't go back any further wat do
Gabriel Lee
Get a new chain assuming you haven't yet.
Christopher Morales
chains fucked, get a new one. or cut a link out of it if you are really cheap or something.
Leo Wilson
That's one edgy cruiser
