>tfw getting exhausts and fairings for your shitbike Working on something to make it mine feels a lot more fun than buying something new. Also less expensive.
Benjamin Perez
Why would you buy upgrades for a shit bike instead of just saving for a not-shit bike
Anthony Edwards

Kayden Wilson
It's got enough power for me, if I'd stop neglecting maintenance it wouldn't be that shit, except it's maybe leaking gas and has a compression problem.
Luis Gray
anyone know of a fairing that makes a honda xr650 look like an africa meme twin?
Jaxson Young
guys my bike was running great and now i cant get it to fire up.
i just bought a 2006 drz40sm. i cleaned the carb and replaced the battery and she was running awesome. when i went to take it out it started, idled for a bit and then died. i got it started a couple times after, but now it wont fire up. it is turning over, but i cant figure out why it wont start. any suggestions?
Gavin Young
Check fuel, air, spark user then come back
Xavier King
it is called target fixation
Austin Allen
pilot jet in the carby is blocked, probably missed something when you cleaned the carby or knocked something in there when putting it back together.
David Gray
>target >not the turn ...so he was committing suicide
Alexander Mitchell
There's never enough power user. And besides there's more to bikes than that
Nolan Mitchell
Hoarding Japanese imports edtion?
Isaiah Moore
im pretty sure its getting fuel, it ran excellent and had great throttle response after i put it back in. i honestly didnt even think maybe something got knocked loose after i put it back in. couldnt hurt to take it out and clean it again. havent had a chance to check spark yet, but ill pick up another spark plug anyway. theyre cheap enough. thanks my dudes.
Brandon Ramirez
Sexy. I want a zxr400 so bad.
Robert Lopez
just take the spark plug out, put the cable back on and hold the plug against the engine while you turn the engine over and see if it sparks
Ethan Jones
nice pic ... has Yaminoob switched to wrecking cruisers now?
Charles Hernandez
Im searching for one too. Or any inline 4 400cc
Noah Moore
who cares about that fuckwit? i hope he died of a brain aneurysm.
William Green
Last I heard he's gonna get raped in legal fees from the guy who's Porsche he wrecked
Jason Barnes
Didn't the Porsche driver also have a disc injury?
Thomas Sanders
wasnt the porsche over the centerline?
Leo Anderson
I hope he gets sued into oblivion by that Porsche driver, yams shitty insurance isn't paying for all the other guys medical bills apparently, I feel bad that that dude got fucked up by some idiot
It really bothers me when someones Life Liberty and pursuit of happiness are infringed upon by idiots
Jackson Edwards
the worst part about it has been his attitude since the crash and he even begged his subscribers for money to pay for his fuck up, he is the worst kind of scum.
Cunt has been riding for like 2 years and thinks he knows everything.
so you would have to wear earplugs with it and it probably is not exactly comfortable then. gotcha.
Asher Sanchez
right on both counts, but meh not going to drop 500 freedoms on a shoei rf-1200 for my first helmet at the same time I'm buying all the other stuff I need. Upgrades later.
Elijah Harris
The r410 is actually a pretty bangin helmet for the price. Has some features that other competing helmets won't have.
Gavin Evans
>compression problem
That thing is DONE
Nicholas Harris
500 is cheaper than a face skin graft in a country with third world health provisions
Ryder Lee
I wouldn't worry about it
Nathan Lewis
you pay 150 to avoid skin grafts, that's the point of having standardized safety ratings
you pay 500 for somthing lighter, quieter, more waterproof, less foggy, more ventilated, internal sun visor, multiposition locking, etc
Dylan Evans
my country has this thing called medi care and the TAC who will pay for all of my ass to face skin needs.
Noah Stewart
No bike this weekend, feels bad man. It's at the shop getting dyno tuned to richen things up.
Anyone gone on extended rides here? I've got all my debts squared away, I've packed and stored most of my possessions. Turned over the keys to my apartment and am currently couch surfing with a friend. Passport should be arriving soon. Bank account is slowly filling for gas, insurance, food and should keep me going for a little over a year.
Starting to get a little excited, been using google maps to look at all the places I want to see.
Liam Kelly
Not if you push it to some poor bastard, you wont.
Jackson Allen
I'm sure it's nothing a new engine can't fix ;))
John Nelson
You should keep a journal or log or something of what you're up to. Pictures and videos are fun, but not quite the same. I don't get the same feeling from looking at old photos as I do from finding something personal I handwrote years ago. You can get more of your mental state into writing than a picture, and you can flip through a notebook faster than you can search for a moment in a vlog.
Justin Scott
that sounds awesome. hope it goes well
Ian Torres
good i dont wish death on anyone but a good lawsuit could make him wish he were dead doesnt look like it from what little video/images has made the web. would love to see the gopro footage from yamis perspective, but im sure police and insurance have that
Levi Reyes
whenever I see anything I wrote down I think who the fuck is this retard
Angel Rodriguez
I like that idea. It would give me something to do when I'm taking a break. Currently my route is east until I hit the Canadian east coast, then back to Ontario, then most likely south into America until I reach the border and then west.
Only thing thats kinda got me stumped so far is my windshield. I got an HD quick detach mount for the front which is on the bike now and a windshield for the bike to make highway riding less fatiguing but I'd like to be able to dump the windshield for cities and rural areas. I might fab up a storage rack for it but still kinda sucks to lug around.
David Russell
Oh and if anyone doubts that the "Harley tax" is a myth, that quick detach sissybar setup there was around $900 CDN.
An aftermarket bolt on would be about $100-150 Canadian. Buying it through HD though you gotta buy the luggage rack separate, the quick detach sideplates, the sissybar itself, the quick detach hardware, the Willie G emblem (It's gone, lol) the backrest pad.. it's all separate part numbers through HD.
Grayson Baker
while it's not totally applicable to you, I bet you'd be interested - young dude spent a year living out of his van and travelling as a full time sales manager for a family company. I found this imgur album imgur.com/gallery/1LTyw but I could have sworn there was a super long one, like 50-100 pictures. I remember one in particular where he hung his hammock from the underside of a bridge over a river, and a one or two with a qt that hooked up with him and traveled along with him for a bit. I know he hiked across the US once, so maybe there's an album from that that I'm remembering from. Anyway, interesting guy. Seems right up your alley re: exploring / freewheeling.
Angel Rivera
like, just skimming a few entries from his blog is breathtaking walkusa.org/blog
>As the sun started coming down I was walking by a farm when the farmer up on his pouch yelled down something to me on the gravel road I walked up his hill to his house to see what he was saying. The wind was blowing and the rain was coming down hard.
>When I got up to his house he was already in his truck with the engine running, he asked me where I needed to go. I said I don't take ride and told him about what I was doing. He seemed struck by it, almost confused. He said that I'm more than welcome to set up on his barn for the night. I said that sounded amazing. He offered me a ride down, I said I would walk.
>I got down there and it was huge, he had all sorts of hay packed away. I made my self comfortable. Later the farmer came down in his car in the rain and offered me some dinner. He gave me a salad, chicken pot pie, cold beer and water. Thank you.
wonder if people would be as nice if you were BRBRBRBRBRBRB'ing by their farm on a harley lel

Never thought it would happen
inb4 the fuel pump is a normal wear item and BMWs are fine if you "actually maintain" your motorcycle

nah i know some of them need aftermarket fuel pumps since the stock ones are made to shit the bed

Good timless looking and not ricey helmets that still work decent at speed, /dbt/?
All the full-on vintage looking ones have terrible visor sealing and wind properties (if they have visors at all), and all the sportbike helmets look absolutely gaudy.
Michael Peterson
Going for a dirt ride tomorrow lads, my third official ride on my own bike. I have a feeling my friends are gonna take me to the limit.
Tips?

New CBR1000rr or the 959 panigale? Both about same price.
