First for I secretly hope Suzuki gets it's act together.
Michael Ward
Sorry, I wasn't very clear. I don't have a problem with replacing parts or performing regular maintenance. Really what I meant by "run forever" was that it's simple enough, and easy enough to work on, that it's unlikely to suffer from a catastrophic failure that can't be fixed by an amateur/hobbyist mechanic.

Boys I want to get into MotoGP. Where is the best place to stream the races or catch replays?
Ethan Flores
Download the app Mobdro. BT Sport 2 shows the races and all practice/quali live. If you're serious about getting into it, fork over a few bucks for the official motogp videopass

I'm a mechanic it'll be fine. It was a really good price and honestly its fun as fuck.
It's strange for me too. Being able to carry a spare in a tiny box is cool though.
Maybe you guys will prefer my old bike.

Yes. Let`s fill the internets with our webms. Everyone respects v-stroms.
Ryder Smith
How indestructible is the newer dr650 compared too the 400? And could it be converted too a super moto just as easily as any other dual sport?
It provides very little safety in any department. You can get cheap (somewhat more effective) armoured chinese jackets on ebay, or if you want something thats actually good, get a fox or sixsixone armoured jacket.
Ultimately none of these will protect you as much as an armoured leather jacket will, however they will protect you better than an unarmoured leather jacket at lower speeds.
They wont provide any abrasion resistance, as its fairly likely the pads will rotate away from the road around your arm.
If you want to look like a hooligan, theyre a great solution for off road riding or other relatively low speed but high impact riding.
If you can, find a CE2 jacket as they are far far more protective than CE1 jackets.
CE2 jackets will be noted in the product description. If its not noted, assume CE1.
Jonathan Richardson
Good enough for me then
Why are "street" jackets so afraid to go wild with designs? Its all either plain neutral colours or icon skullz
Jace Adams
hope it's got a 200hp/L motor like it's little brother
Chase Collins
motocross riders dont go very fast and dont bother with asphalt so their gear doesnt have much abrasion resistance but is designed to absorb impact.
Its not much in terms of protection when riding on the streets.
Adrian Robinson
that offers essentially no protection. might as well just wear a tshirt senpai
Ryder Hall
I'll go out on a limp and guess that Suzuki will give the GSXR1000's variable valve timing to this new 'Busa, plus a bunch of electronic bullshit.
Camden Sanders
>go out on a limp
Nicholas Martin
Launch controller and wheelie control together and it will dominate straight line launches, with the imu traction control it will have better ability in corners
Possibly the ultimate street bike

Dominic Long
Hey what do you guys think of the CB500X for a brand new rider and first bike? I've ridden bitch seat for 2 dozen hours before so I'm not a newfag, just new to being in the front.
And no, don't throw other motorcycles my way, I'm wanting opinions on the CB500x.
Zachary Smith
Buy what you want, if you have the money.
Samuel King
Once it's used and cheap then it's fine. Don't go brand new, obviously. All those 500cc Hondas are the same engine and they're built literally for learners (35kW for A2 legality).
Robert Hernandez
Issue is I can never find the same things used unless it's a 2013 model with no ABS, no LED lights, and a few other various differences between the old models and the new. There's normally only a $1k difference between used and new too.
Bentley Hall
That jacket makes my weewee stiff
Kevin Phillips
i want a spinning dorito bike are there any outside of the uk?
Jack Turner
the c500x is a bit overpriced for what it is, but not a bad bike overall. it has (((honda reliability))) so that could be why on the price [or so i've heard]
Alexander Hughes
I have the '14 F, the engine is fun. ABS is pretty nice to have, despite what fags tell you about how "I can stop better without it". If the X tickles your fancy, you won't be unhappy. It's not as fast a super sport, it's not as comfy as a cruiser, but it's a great middle ground bike.
The seat is a fucking piece of shit though so either get yourself an airhawk butt cushion or get a replacement seat. Your ass will thank you.
Jeremiah Gonzalez
where are you? used market is shit around here too. was looking for an xsr700 and people are trying to sell them for nearly the same price as new lol
Elijah Foster

Suzuki made one back in the day but good luck finding/affording/maintaining it.
Brody Jackson
is that and (custom make one yourself) the only option?
Jace Reyes

Asher Martinez
Ohio and Minnesota. Also checked Indiana and Kentucky. Everyone, whether it's a stereo, firearm, jeans, or vehicles want way too much.
Andrew Taylor
>not male bait girls dont ride bikes, and if they do its fat cruiser trash
Jayden Hughes
Well that sucks. I guess new is fine then.
Same shit happens here with CRF250L's. Fuck all are sold and they hold their value (€4000 used vs €5000 new). That's why I got my KTM instead which was like 1/3 its original value.
Nathan Wilson
Thanks for the reply. As a beginner, the cruisers felt better. But I know it was an illusion of being closer to the ground and being flatter. I thought it fit all the bills for me as a commuter and tourer, not to mention I love the adventure aesthetic and matte tan paint job of the 2016 ABS
Caleb Davis
Have you sat on it? Are you able to flat foot or do you have to tip-toe it? I'm 5'11" and with the F I can flat foot the bike easy but idk if the X has a significantly higher ride height or not. I'm assuming most of the features are pretty much the same since the 500s are practically interchangeable bikes.
I lucked out and got mine used with very low mileage. I kind of got fucked by the dealership but you live you learn. At least if you had to go new to get the bike you wanted they're really not crazy expensive, but hopefully you'll be able to find someone offloading one towards the end of the season.
Good luck m8
Cameron Nelson
it's a fit meme
Eli Ramirez
I LOVE those indicators
And the instrument cluster
end everything
Jordan Gutierrez
I can't fully flat foot but I can get the front pads of both feet down.
Cooper White
Quick. An old rich guy says he'll take you to your local dealership and buy you any bike you want if he can touch your butt once. No penetration, nothing more than that. You can walk away with any bike (that you're going to find readily available, nothing super obscure) and insurance paid. What do you get?
Owen Ward
1299 Panigale. There's a ducati dealership with them less than 10 miles away from here.
I would get him to toss in the longest maintenance plan offered as well and ride the holy living fuck out of it.

Solution: get a normal bike for normal people
If you don't frequent the track then why do you have a sportbike
If you do then why do you care
John Jackson

Eli Johnson
I have finally disconnected all of the fucking hoses and cables from my carburetor and loosened the clamp bolts, but it is securely held in place by airbox and engine boots. Service manual is smug and succinct.
What do?
Nolan Myers
the rubber boots get stiff and stuck to the carbs with age. blow hot air on them with a heat gun or air dryer and start wiggling the carbs around to break them free
Easton Collins
also use tire irons or flat screwdrivers to pry the carb out of the airbox side boot
David Anderson
It wiggles and spins freely in the boots, it's just moving it left is impossible because engine and moving it right is almost impossible because airbox.
Hudson Wood
That's a great idea, I'll try this.
Xavier Flores
no he heavily developed the Texas Method
Aaron Sullivan

Elijah Walker
Does Veeky Forums know it exists?

yes but fit is easily distracted by the most recent meme program

Apparenty in NJ they don't chase bikes. You fags have it so easy...
Henry Williams
So "normal bikes" are for insecure people
Samuel Phillips
you've got to pull one side of the carb while wiggling and twisting it, user.
Jeremiah Thomas
I should note that it's going to take a fair amount of force.
Gavin Phillips
Anyone put those phosphorescent light strips on their wheels, with the uv activator light?
I destroyed my left shoe because of shifting gears a bit too hard. Is it possible to buy a rubber protection I can put for my pedal? What's the name in English for this?
I saw one in a manufacturer store but it's fucking 10€ for a piece of rubber.
Caleb Watson
Electric tape
Jaxson Turner
Haha it worked!
Josiah Foster
So someone hit my bike and it got totaled. After paying off the loan I'm getting about $3700. What kind of Super Moto can I get for around 3700+/-? Worth it to finance a $5k-ish used one from a dealer?
I've owned a sport touring, sports bike, cafe memer, cruiser and now I want to try a Sumo out.. but I don't really know much about super motos/enduros/dual sports/etc..
Julian Ward
Alright, now that I have successfully stripped the float bowl screws on it, it's time to take a break.
Christian Campbell
Gross. Don't do this. Sticky and will make the entire bike look like a POS courier special.
Have an SV650S, planing to buy another bike and dual sport bikes are capturing my interest. What's Veeky Forumss opinion on DRZ-400 and KLR650?
Henry Anderson
Buy a cb650f instead. And knobbies.
Josiah Richardson
The DR650 and XR650 are years better than both. That isnt even my opinion it's objective
Bentley Thomas
DR650 is awesome but beware. It has carburetor. Which leads me to this situation on a Saturday.
Andrew Walker
my friend has one, it survived a pretty good crash. He ripped off the fairings and it looks good. It's small, reasonably light, has actually pretty good ground clearance, and sounds good
that fender tho....
Nathan Cox
DRZ400 with a few simple mods
Cameron Myers
Buy a JIS screwdriver
Jonathan Phillips
I should have done this a long time ago, but I didn't. Good thing I have a dremel and flat head bits. It's a little scary to grind bolt on a carburetor that still has trace amounts of gasoline in it though.
