For the darksiders who have lights on their bikes
I've noticed a lot of repeat questions in the original "best street-tard" thread, and also that a lot of people don't want to read through all 47 pages. I've gone through all the posts in the previously mention thread, and I think I've summed it up fairly well. I've anyone has any more info to...

bdmmotard moderator edit, merge and pic: You may have noticed, oh a couple "what makes the best street tard?" threads. soooooo, I decided to merge all the good street tard threads into one uber thread. Newbies, this thread's for you. but to answer the question, the best street tard is a 98...
Ok, now that I am out of the hospital I am going to do my comparion of the two bikes that I own/owned. The Yamaha is mine since I have owned since new and the Suzuki I will be using is the first one I had, which I owned from new as well. My neighbor currently owns it so I know the interim...
Unfortunately my helmet was stolen out of my garage last night, the details aren’t important but i park my bike in a shared garage and it disappeared. My fault, humans suck. Anyway - it was kind of a mixed blessing. While i loved the helmet it was quite old and needed to be replaced. It was an...
Well, many helmets are just as unique as the bikes themselves. Here's mine, An AFX FX-18.
Im trying to decide if Supermoto is for me.... Currently I have this And this And this And this
hey was just wondering if anyone has a link to a site selling blue plastic frame guards for an 05 WR 450F. I dont want anything fancy, or expenive... my own guardsa re gone bad from my ankles rubbing them. Cheers! I didnt know where to put this thread so sorry if its in the wrong area!:thumbup:
I was wondering if I bought a used street bike brake caliper off of flea bay could it fit on the 320mm rotor on a SM? I know a custom bracket would have to be made but besides that, coul it work? They are so cheap and work really good. On my old ginxer 1000 (06) the brakes were awesome and I could...
I have given myself the unenviable task of choosing a new bike instead of my SMS630 (which I love dearly) but will not like my new journey of London to Manchester (probably twice a month) and as such I need a bike thats more suitable. Here's my stats and bike shortlist with some pro's and con's any...
Anybody put a keyed ignition on the BRP?
Are the 450 SMR's street legal in Washington? Anyone have one near Seattle? I live in downtown and was thinking of picking one up for an around town bike and maybe riding it to work on nice days. Pacific Raceways in Kent has a new kart/sumo track that I'd like to try out as well. If you have...
Hello folks, since I am now riding my latest project bike, I am now in the market for my next and newest love. I am an old school rider, and love big bore bikes. I like the entire series of XR bikes, just as long as they are open class. But one of the machines I have ridden a couple of times and...
She's not much...but I have had an amazing time beating the snot out of this little bugger....the 15 mile round trip to work gets better every day!...Its not very fast....but it gets 90 mpg and cruises at 65-70 without a problem....and corners like it should...:thumbup:
Hey guys, I'm new to SMJ. Before I begin, I must say this is an AMAZING forum. I've been following it for a few months now and it's full of great info. Anyways, here's the dilemma. What is the best position over the circular magnetic pickups at intersections? I can't count how many times I've sat...
I know this was asked awhile back, but I just finshed my puting together my husky 610. Now she is completely tarded and ready to hit the streets :bannana: I would love to have some fellow rides to show it off with. I'm in clinton and would love to hear about any up coming rides. new to the blog...
Well it appears as thought all of my streetbikes are sold so I can finally build me a street tard. I have a 02 yz426 and I was planning on building it as a tard, but I keep running into snags and im having a hard time finding someone that has done this. I keep finding people that say "it should...
Alright guys deals are starting to pop up and I'm done with sport bikes so I decided I wanted either a sumo or a dirt bike. Can you get a bike that does both (with the change of wheels & tires of course)? All my buddies that ride one or the other say you cant have the best of both... I dont ride...
I have wanted to build my own vintage supermoto for a while. A couple of weeks ago I picked up this 1980 Suzuki DR400 which came exactly as pictured. I purchased a pair of 17 inch supermoto wheels late last year with this in mind. Then I came across the 1974 KX450 engine you see pictured. Will...
Well fellas, all the hard work has finally paid off!!! I got my first sumo today and at the same time enrolled in rehab for motard addiction.....THIS THINK IS F-ING SWEET!!! I'm pretty sure my girlfriends gonna dump me when she finds me in bed with this thing instead of her!! lol Sorry for the...
Just checking in to see if there are any SuMo riders in Iowa besides me!! If so, where are you guys hiding?
Has anyone run the Battlax BT 021s? they make a 150 70 rear I was thinking of trying a set. whats you guys opinions?
(this is just a bitch and moan thread) this shit is getting old... ok, the first 2 i guess i totally deserved since i was being a hooligan in a construction site. one tiny nail, then a week later a nice big staple... patched them both, all is well... then a couple weeks later im on my way home...
So i bought the tusk enduro light kit everything on it is great, but i can get my headlight to work on it, i know a little about electrical things but this has stumped me, i was wondering if any here has bought it and hooked it up, i have a 05 ktm 525 exc everything on it is all set and ready to go...
As most of us know, the DRZ comes with a 140/70 and a 120/70, but many run the 150/60 out back, or even a 160/60. I'm dying to try out some tires I found, and be the guinea pig for the group. Problem is, they don't come in any of those. Here are the sizes they come in, can anyone tell me what...
Back in May, at the SMJ rally, I had a flat tire mid corner on the Dragon. A friend took me to Wheelers, and when he pulled the tube out, it was rubbed clean through on the side of the tube. We started looking inside the tire, and the Pilot Powers have a rough, honey comb dimple pattern inside the...
Im living in Germany at the moment. In the Sennelager/Paderborn area. Im yet to see a single supermoto about. Is there any riders on here from around or near that area?
Hi there (still somewhat new to the site)... I tried searching both this forum and internet in general, and couldnt find a single thing on this topic. Im wondering what the law is on the (re)location of the license plate on a bike. In CA, both licenses have to be on the car at all time, i.e.....
Alright so I've been running the trail tech vapor for a couple of years now. I took it off this winter (so lcd wouldn't freeze) and put it back on the bike this spring when the temp. increased. No the LED backlights dont work and the rmp is very unresponsive. I am really interested in trying...
Im brand new here and I just have a quick question. I have been trying to sell my CBR 600 RR to get back into dirt riding but in this economy no one is really buying. I did however come across a guy who wants to trade me straight across for an Aprilla SXV 450. I know the RXV is the enduro version...
So I got my KLX about 2 months ago and have already gotten the mod bug. I ordered this fender eliminator last week. Link to page with Edge Tail Light Kit Once they came in I see that is says it will only work with motoled turn signals, not the stock. Has anyone used this kit or a similar on a...
Can anyone point in the direction of a good mechanic/machinist that can do head work/engine work on a XR650R. The motor blew and its time for a rebuild. I live in south Texas, but can ship to anywhere in the country. I would really prefer someone who is familiar with thumpers and might have...
HEY GUYS FAIRLY NEW TO THE SITE AND JUST GETTING AROUND TO POSTING SOME PICS OF MY BIKE! LETS SEE WHAT U ALL ARE HITTIN THE STREETS ON:bike:
Hey guys, so I'm sure this has been discussed before but I wasn't able to find a thread that talked specifically about this. So anyway I just got my drz which some of you probablly already know, and my first plan of attack is to pipe and 3x3 the bike. In the process of doing this, it seems like...
So I was on my home tonight and I needed to stop for gas (Imagine that) and I saw that I had some cords showing in my rear tire. I had another 40 miles home. I drove home and it was not that terrible. Just a little unnerving. Any way, how far have you driven on cords?
Anyone mount flush mount blinkers on their rear fenders? pics? Hate my massive stock suzuki ones, and thought flush ones on the sides of the rear fender would look much better.
Hi, guys, new to the site. I'm starting a 2-stroke super moto build using an Aprilia SXV and a Yamaha RZ350 engine. The build is still in the planning stages, but yesterday I went ahead and ordered the Aprilia SXV frame, subframe, swingarm, rear shock, shock linkage, front forks, lower triple,...
Hi, So I just bought the DRC Edge 2 Taillight kit and blinkers, anyone one have any idea on a total install time - or how long it took you. I looks like maybe a 2hr job, just dont want to start something I dont have the time to finish in the afternoon, has to be rideable later tonight. Any...
Would there be any adverse effects to removing the airbox completely, is it even possible on the stock carb? I know it would need to be retuned at the least. Would it be dumb to buy a 41mm carb instead of the 39mm to run in the open air-filter setup with a stock engine that will see a big bore down...
I did some routine maintenance on my WR400 yesterday and today. Last night I checked the valve clearance, figured that it had to be out of spec by now, especially with the thrashing that I gave it last outing 2wks ago.....they were still dead nuts, same exact clearance as last time, right in the...
Hey all! A friend and I are goofing around with a bike he found for very little. Its been mostly his creation with me being the 2nd opinion of how it looks. So far: Late 70s CB550 tank muffler delete drag bars hacked rear subframe and wooden seat!
Hey guys, I'm looking at buying a tricked out 05 drz 400 sm and I'm wondering if anyone knows of any problems the '05 models may have had? Engine, gearbox, anything you can think of? Or are they just as bulletproof as the newer models? I know the cam chain tensioners may have had some issues, but...
MX or streetbike?
I am sure this has been discussed in many threads but I cant find any using the search. Anyone here have issues street plating an XR400R in NJ? I am looking to buy one strictly for rding in the snow/salt as it seems to be the best low maintenance bike for how I intend to use it. But I worried...
Well I had the yz426 sumo (blown up twice) and the TTR 250 (needs more power) sumo, Cashed out of both of those projects and scored a nice Xr400 for $875! Its runs great .as i have been riding it in dirt mode for a few weeks. Really got comfortable fast on the bike as it has a good balance of...
Ello' As the title states, I have someone interested in trading me their 2000 XR650L w/ 4000 miles, no mods completely stock. I want a street-tard... Something I can rip through the city causing mad havoc, an urban destroyer... but i want something that has some size to it. I'm a big boy, 230lbs...
does anyone have an acerbis vision headlight. im looking to put it on my bike for road use. I dont care that its not legal. Im just wondering if someone could make a video of it in the dark for me to see how bright it is or tell me if it would be good or not. thanks, nathan
I wanted to ask the folks that have converted a DR650 to supermoto. Can you tell a huge difference in handling/grip by moving from the stock rims/tires to a SM setup? I am considering getting SM wheels for my DR and I am trying to mentally justify the cost. My DR is already one of the most...
Hey guys I have a 2005 ktm 525 exc supermoto, since iv had it the electric start has never worked, and i have since taken all the parts off except the start motor, so my question now, is does anyone know if they make a block plate so i can get that heavy pos off there, and just throw a plate over...
put a new timing chain in my 07 610sm at 18000km's now the tpo end sounds like a ducati dry clutch. do I need a manual cct?:hmmm:will it help?
I get off work at 10 every night, any one down for a night ride - usually hit downtown, golden, conifer and evergreen. usually ride for at least 1 1/2 +.
I'm trying to find a bolt on peg slider for my 05 yz450. NOT the weld on style as everything iv found says the pegs are titanium and i cant exactly weld that yet. Now i picked up the UFO slider not really that great good for one slide 2 will grind the peg and these are slow slides through a corner...
MagYvr007 posted a link to (a vid) the South Park crew ganging up on Harley riders. I posted a few pics of my Harley (project) and got some replying interests. So here it is: I took an 01 CR125 and was converting it into a 500 street sumo. I went a different direction on the build...
Ok, i just bought my first SM. 07 DRZ 400 SM, 35 cc athena BB, Full Yoshi exhaust, 3x3, jet kit, and hot cams, (orginal 36 Mikuni). As i dont have a tach on this thing, how high can i rev it? I dont want to damage the engine, but i have no idea what the rpms should be. Is there a rev limiter?...
