The recession is going to hit us hard and all of those recreational items will flood the market at nickels on the dollar. Rest assured, DRZ prices will still be absurd.

There's a 2013 Speed Triple in my area with 18k on the odo going for $5k that hasn't been ridden into trash. This seems... sane?

MomJeans420 posted:Did her layer dan before he even got offroad? That's a good point, I always assumed he hit the verge with full brakes and lost the front end there, but the whole bike is still on the black stuff which seems pretty unlikely if the wheel had gone off. Didn't he blame it on the car ahead going too slowly or something, too?

I almost had a crash as bad as mootmoot yesterday, tiny 200' onramp onto a busy 60mph highway, line up from the stop line, give it the beans (I know I'll hit 65-70, the speed of traffic by the end of the section if I do everything perfectly) front wheel comes up a little to far, and I go into severe headshake because I'm looking over my shoulder while accelerating, and thus pulling on the bars a little. Got 'er settled down in the shoulder. Had I crashed it would have looked like I just crashed accelerating in a perfectly straight line. And realized the right lane had come to a halt staring at me.

That is a former police service motorcycle. BMW dealership quoted me $2,400 to replace a clutch on one of those. You can buy surplus ones with about 50k miles for under 3 Grand all day everyday. Because most of them need a clutch at least.

Is that one of the ones where you basically have to dismantle the entire bike to get at the clutch?

The clutch sits at the back of the motor, you pretty much have to pull the rear wheel + shaft drive to get to it. That's actually not that difficult, but I have no experience with what the actual clutch replacement itself takes.

The frame and subframe are kind of bolted to the engine/trans more than the engine/trans are bolted to the frame, and you have to pull the trans to replace the clutch so yeah about half the bike has to come off. 2400 doesn't sound too crazy for a clutch job on those. if you're comfortable with mechanical poo poo it's totally doable at home but you'll have to hold the whole bike up with an engine hoist or something and you might need a couple special tools. The airhead boxers (pre-1994) are less of a big deal but it's still a fairly big deal.

Completely random question (especially as there's literally zero chance I'd ever own one) but could you hold them up by the cylinders? I assume so because I know you can crash them pretty hard and generally just have to replace the rocker covers, so I guess there's plenty of meat there.

I would trust the cylinders to hold the weight of everything else, yes, but I can't remember how many connections there are between the motor and everything else when you remove the rear end. So I don't know if you might want a jack under the motor and a hoist holding the rest of the frame up as well.

cakesmith handyman posted:Bad idea or worst idea? I lost plat so I can't see if you've been posting in cycle asylum for a while, but I assume this would be your first bike because it's a 125 and the UK has weird rules. That thing is a piece of poo poo. The bottom of the forks are all hosed up but look at the chrome tubes -- there's corrosion there that you probably can't fix. The corrosion will shred your fork seals so you will have to buy new fork tubes. The side covers are missing and you'll have to buy those. It looks like the flasher relay is dangling from the goddamn gauge cluster. One of the engine coils is just dangling beneath the left turn signal. Tires are probably shot. Chain+sprockets are probably shot. Rear shocks are probably shot. Every fluid will have to be replaced, brake lines should probably be replaced, air filter + oil filter should be replaced. This is just for what's visible on the outside, who knows if the engine is blown. It's a high mileage bike that clearly wasn't maintained with any sort of care. So if you really think you want to take on this project, make a spreadsheet with the cost of all the missing parts from ebay or wherever, add that to the list value and ask yourself if it's worth your time to spend that amount of money for something that will still be a mostly lovely bike once you've finished fixing it up. Look at this:  See how the left cover is missing and there's cables just dangling? Someone started working on it and gave up. You'd be inheriting someone else's "this isn't worth it". e: the upside is from the listing it seems like it has a title, so it would be a good frame. If you had a parts bike with no title but mostly everything working, that would be a decent project.

Honestly I’m pretty guilty of under-riding my bike. I’m at like 2500 miles in 2 years and like 900 of those were down to LA and back and a little bombing the canyons down there. But I won’t ever commute on a bike again is probably a lot of why miles are lower.
