So how crap an idea is it to buy and ride home a bike with no front master cylinder and no third gear from 100km away? 90% motorway journey on a sunday.

Full disclosure: already bought but might not be able to get a hold of a trailer/ute/van.


I'd do it.

I hope you didn't test this with a *running* car. The cars alternator will fight the rectifier and win.


If your stator is passing the resitance block test and your voltage from the stator doesnt. welp.

Check stator voltage at ~4500rpm. at idle you probably won't have much over ~20-30v. at 4500 or so you should see ~double that.

I'll pay to have sport/sm tires mounted. I do my own dirt tires.
Local shop charged 43.50 for my sm wheels, they'd charge an extra 20 for the dirt set. Both reasonable IMO.

That's likely not the case with this particular SV

Although I do need to get someone who actually knows things about suspension to look over this setup and adjust to my weight.






I have a Pirelli Diablo Rosso II with good tread in the rear, same tire I ran on m R1, front is a ContiAttack that needs replacing soon, both are kept at recommended pressure per label.

I'll put this down as being due to a light bike on a possibly too stiff suspension, thanks all.

yeah might wanna learn to set your sag and dick with the clickers from there...

Don't you have to start it in prime mode every time since it's a vacuum fuel valve? Or at least the first time you start it for the day? Carbs are hard :ohdear:

No. set it and forget it till you run out, then move it to reserve, and back to on when you fill up.

forged 2 smoke pistons are sometimes will shatter when cold. (see: wiseco) anything cast: don't lose sleep over it. Me personally? I just ride normally. Not like I'm bouncing it off the rev limiter/3/4+ throttle within the first couple miles of my commute anyway.

Jumping off a car has the potential for loving your electronics. Having said that, I've done it multiple times with no ill effects.
Some battery maintainers have a "deep cycle" that are supposed to try and bring completely fish batteries back from the dead. Always worth a shot.
Pull it out and bring it into a shop with a load tester to see if it's still good or has a bad cell, too.


Adding to this. Leave the car off and you're ok. a running car's alternator will fight the rectifier/regulator/stator on your bike, and the bike will lose.

They said jumping a bike of a running car is bad, because something something big alternator vs small rectifier. This is what I've heard many times, you can jump off a car just fine but don't start it.

haha even in the olden days you could throw a 12v battery on a 6v car and sorta be okay to crank it. it'd blow the coil/lights/radio, and eventually the starter, but it'd crank fast as gently caress.
