Nostalgia4Dicks posted:Anyone got their dog on a bike before? Have a 6 mo boy. I have a general idea. Practice bringing him to and from the bike, maybe have someone pass him off to you, incorporating treats. I'm more worried about the noise. I have a luggage rack (DRZ 400 SM) so I'm not sure if I'm going to try to figure out a mounted box of some sort, a backpack baby carrier, or just have him sit in front. He might be slightly too large as an adult for a box on the back. Should be 25 lbs grown. If you still have the stock exhaust it should be ok, it'd be cruel to put a dog on a DRZ with an aftermarket exhaust though. My dog used to ride on my old BMW F650 sitting between me and my ex. I wanted to make something like this but he hates my DRZ with its current exhaust  http://i.imgur.com/RE1RvQQ.jpg http://advrider.com/index.php?threads/dog-carrier.733528/ echomadman fucked around with this message at 23:16 on Aug 12, 2015 |

Ola posted:Thanks guys. I wonder if I can by with just a sheet of neoprene (as sold for divers etc) and some zip ties.There's no special coating or layer on it, right? You can glue neoprene with wetsuit repair kits, use some stitching to hold the joint closed while it sets up

M42 posted:How many of you change your own tires? One of my friends who worked at a shop for a short time says never to do it yourself (with tire levers etc), you'll rip the tire, etc etc. Most other people don't seem to have such strong feelings. I ask cause I've got a track tire and a street tire now, and I can't really keep shelling out $40 every time I want to swap the two. I do my own, i have a diy rig for bead breaking and a diy version of the no-mar bar GnarlyCharlie mentioned. It still a pain in the arse, in a track day situation I'd buy a second set of rims/brake disks, mount the race tyres to them and swap back and forth.

Sagebrush posted:I wonder if shady used-car salesmen have figured out how to change the EEPROM values in a modern digital odometer yet? I really doubt there's any kind of serious security involved. Its big business clocking cars on the second hand market here. although now the annual inspection includes the mileage on the cert, so that at least sets a minimum value that they can reset to. That presupposes that you got a valid inspection cert in the first place though. http://nmr.ie/car-clocking/

HAMAS HATE BOAT posted:Bought a DR 650. Currently buying all the armors and things and stuff to git dirty. Apparently a PO has managed to lose the bar ends. The stock handlebar is regarded as flimsy and I don't like the stock grips anyway, and I think I want maybe another inch of height on it to allow more comfort while standing, so I think a bar replacement would be a cool thing to do. Pro tapers and Fatbars are all normal sized where the throttle/levers mount, but stuff like handguards usually need a different inside mount. As you said you need different clamps on the triple aswell. these guys are doing a DR650 build series at the moment https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEQwA8Brt84qNpRZ8nknm7xU8Q8R6yTPS

Jazzzzz posted:It's the season for wet piles of leaves in the corners too. Good times I have a nice big burn scar on the inside of my leg from hitting a patch of leaves while pulling out of a petrol station forecourt years ago on my first bike. I managed to fall in a way that tweaked the little finger on my left hand back to the point of almost breaking and trapped my left hand on the ground under the bars, while my right leg slipped off the peg, the peg caught and pushed my overpants/trouser leg up, leaving my bare leg to rest on the exhaust header. The pain of the finger outweighed the leg, and i spent a few long seconds wrestling the bike off my hand while my calf sizzled like bacon. I immediately jumped up, adrenaline lifted the bike up, started it and rode away before anyone could walk over and witness my rage/shame, which meant that my pants stuck to the huge open wound on my leg and had to be peeled off when i got home. gently caress wet leaves.

MomJeans420 posted:Had a bunch of work done on my bike recently, including a coolant change, and my bike runs noticeably warmer when I have slower speed riding after being on the freeway for a while. I'm assuming there's some air in the cooling system and it needs to be bled, but if that's the case would it make sense that my bike seems to be running normal temps while on the freeway? I don't know what else it would be though. Could be air in the system, moving faster is going to cool the motor more at a given rpm than slow speed traffic. might also be that your fan isn't coming on, which would have the same symptoms. Check the connectors to the fan and from the thermostat.

epalm posted:Well of course it's the same thing, I'm just fascinated that anyone would consider the stick part of a paintbrush to be the "head" instead of the "tail". New Zealand has a dearth of native wildlife with tails, so naturally the sticky outey bit is the head and the fluffy part is the arse
