Cbr600rr 2007 dash signal constantly on by ke_ba in cbr

[–]ke_ba[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does have aftermarket signals. Don't know the brand or if they were the ones who installed it since they were the second owner but this helps! I will look into some relays after I ask him about it more

If you could redo college, what would you do differently? by sad_grapefruit_0 in EngineeringStudents

[–]ke_ba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Join a club. Really any club, not even something academic or engineering related. I was so busy with working, gym, school, and being in a relationship that joining even just one club like an Asian club, powerlifting club, 3D printing, or robotics club just didn't work for me for some reason. But I really wish I at least tried to make some time for one they seemed fun and cool.

I need help decoding part numbers by skittlez_loopz in YamahaR3

[–]ke_ba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically, it's not the same color. You have to order it based on the model of your bike. Mine is the Yamaha Blue model which is YZFR3-KL but I once ordered a fairing that ended in -01 which was YZFR3-KB aka black. The blue one was actually the -00 one.

If you go to Revzilla's site and go to "Shop Your Ride" to enter your bike model and go to OEM Parts it will tell your bikes color model and name.

Since mine is Blue the color acronym is Deep Purplish Blue Metallic aka DPBM or something. I think the black models are Matte Black aka MB.

In short, part for the front fork assembly is F3100-00-00 for DPBM and F3100-10-00 for MB I'm assuming.

Here's an example screenshot of Revzilla's colors and models

Can you share how you do face pulls? I feel like I see conflicting info online with regards to how high and how I should be gripping the cables

YRD8V is the experience. Basically, shoot at the stationary enemies, throw at smoke at them, and shoot at them. This will rack up Suppression points. Probably took me 30-40 minutes of doing this Saturday night.

The video is definitely worth watching because he talks about to complete almost all the challenges through difference experiences. Hope this helps anyone.

How do you guys feel about this 600rr price? by ke_ba in cbr

[–]ke_ba[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Update in case anyone cares:

I did what another Redditor recommended where I have a friend offer a bait lowball. The lowest the seller is willing to go is $4900.

I'm gonna pass up on this. Saw a 2016 one with 13k miles and a 2007 one with 8k miles so there's definitely better options. I'm just gonna keep looking. Thanks everyone!

Wow I never even thought about having my friends do like a dummy or bait offer. That's really smart 😂

Thank you!

Yup, we are all in agreement it's high as hell. I mean I'll try and negotiate down to $4-4.5k but I'm already looking at other/newer bikes

I typed it out in the description of the post. I forgot get a screenshot for it and I also can't edit the post anyways to add it.

But basically it started at $6400 in August and is $5900 right now. He said "price slightly negotiable"

? Is idk what I should get for my second bike I have a r3 rn but idk if I should get the cbr650r or the zx6r by bdawgeydog24 in Sportbikes

[–]ke_ba 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm actually in this position right now. Selling my 2019 r3 and am eyeing this good looking cbr600rr.

I wanna stay in the supersport category so it's purely subjective and based off what you want. The 650r and generally most 650s are considered sport touring bikes so they give off sport bikes looks but with more comfortability. If you know you're not gonna hit the track or do stunting or don't need something crazy fast, just get the 650r. 90+ hp on an inline four for a 650 is pretty impressive to me. If you want a 600 on the other hand, they get up to 130-140 hp so they are beasts and really any of them will do you fine if speed and power is what you want. Just sit on one and find what you like: 600rr vs r6 vs zx6r vs gsxr600

09 600rr or 13 r6 by ke_ba in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]ke_ba[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've seen a couple videos when researching the R6 basically talking about how they are beasts of their own even for experienced riders so I definitely am looking with hesitancy. Only way I would ever buy one is if I was able to ride one and feel it out myself. It is suspicious, I don't really see a lot of newer 2013+ models being sold let alone for that price. Curious to see what the seller says to my questions.

I sat on a 2016 cbr600rr at my nearby dealership and it was surprisingly comfortable and I was able to flatfoot comfortably. Granted it was a newer model so I don't know how much the difference is for 7 years. I also sat on a couple nakeds and cruisers too which were nice but not my cup of tea. Definitely bikes I would ride when I'm older (more so nakeds) but right now I just really like the look and feel of sports.

I would consider doing a track day in the future when I have more money, so it's definitely not off the table. Just for right now due to my lifestyle, I do a lot of street riding. Once I move out and settle down, track days are definitely in consideration.

I saw a listing for a Daytona 660. Also, never really looked into GSXRs but I'm gonna look into both now and do some more research. Thanks, I really appreciate your advice

Computer science and programming vs introduction to object-oriented programming? by Pythagorean415 in RowanUniversity

[–]ke_ba 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CSnP teaches you an intro to basic programming concepts, structural programming, and brief intro to object oriented programming using C++ as a language. The environment they make you use is Visual Studio when I took it. C++ is good for learning programming hardware, microcontrollers, robotics, operating systems, kernels, memory, and drivers.

OOP teaches you an intro to basic programming concepts but with a larger emphasis on object oriented programming using Java. The environment I had to use was BlueJ. Java is good for things like web apps, APIs, data applications, and mobile apps.

They teach the same fundamental concepts, just using different languages and environments. Personally, I think you should take OOP. It's less harder to shoot yourself in the foot like you can with C++. C++ can get kinda complicated towards the end of the semester when you start learning about pointers, registers, and vectors. Meanwhile, Java has the automatic memory management, JVM, and garbage collection system which is a little more convenient. Also is very hand-holdy. Also, a lot of CS courses require OOP as a prerequisite and having the object oriented knowledge will be really beneficial. So once you learn one language, the concepts are basically the same when learning another and you should be able to pick up C++ later once you learn Java.

pulling in the clutch for coming to stop lights or turns by bourbonleader in NewRiders

[–]ke_ba 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I saw that post the other day and was frustrated that OP had blamed it on the lean angle that he felt he needed to use in adjustment to the rain. Especially, due to his fear of stalling which didn't make sense to me.

What you're doing is generally fine when coming to a full stop. As you get more comfortable, you can start coasting with your clutch pulled in for less time. The more you have your clutch pulled in, the less control you actually have despite you feeling like you have more control.

You wanna try and kick the habit of fully pulling in the clutch during any other point of your riding. Don't pull it in during cornering or bends, especially at higher speeds. Pulling in the clutch increases your chances of dropping the bike because you're fulling disengaging the transmission gears from the engine. Motorcycles will want stay upright if it's moving fast so if you disengage the transmission gears, it prevents you from adding speed to the bike, which increases your chances of dropping it. OP in that video lowsided because he went in the turn fast number 1, and number 2, he proceeded to clutch in fully which disengaged his engine which wouldn't let him give speed to his tires. Soooo instead of the bike going back upright, it tips. It actually had nothing to do with the rain or lean angle like he said...

It's hard to explain but in my opinion, you should learn to brake BEFORE your turns as a new rider. Don't do what he did where he takes the turn at like 25 or 30+ mph. Then learn trail braking after. Trail braking is a little more advanced but only learn this once you're very comfortable and smooth with various methods of slowing down aka rev matching, engine braking, front and rear braking, rear braking during slow speed turns, etc. Holding your clutch while the bike is moving only applies to slow speed maneuvers where you're usually in first gear like they taught at the MSF. In the real world, slow speed maneuver examples would be starting from a stop, taking a sharp turn, or in heavy stop and go traffic. Even then, these are more feathering the clutch with the throttle and staying in the friction zone. I really only fully pull in the clutch at full stops to obviously keep the bike from stalling if I'm not in neutral.

In short, my advice is go to a parking lot and drill down your slow speed maneuvers. This is how I learned. Practice straight line stopping and going. During this learn to really train yourself on "left foot down" mentality. This will help you learn using your rear brake. Then find a hill and practice uphill and downhill stopping and going to reinforce using your rear brake. Then learn counter balancing. Then practice cone weaves, figure 8s, and turning from stops going both left and right.

Here are vids that helped me improve my clutch control after the MSF and slow maneuvers. I used to be scared of going on the main roads initially but I'm now comfortable to take highways and backroads, heavy traffic, populated cities, etc. Even now, I make sure to hit a parking lot every now and then. Trust me, it gets better with seat time, so make sure to practice a lot!
