I do work for various places that have access to expensive toys.

I've gotten a few fake things from le amazon, counterfeit us flag (made in China but used local name albeit spelled wrong), ram mount that was clearly not their logo (confirmed though ram), and fake Mobil 10w-40, wasn't even synthetic and had a cheap paper printed label. I no longer use Amazon for buying things I can source through proper distribution channels.

Yeah that's the way she goes on the fuel gauge, normal. Haven't heard about the light not going out tho, I bounce off almost empty more times than Id care to admit as well.

Just remember, you can't take your money with you when you die, but you sure can take someone else's.

Those foam or rubber?

That connects the swing arm to a position sensor, probably input for six axis abs/imu thingy. Probably faulted, therefore no cruise until a code is cleared.

Ding ding ding, commodity pricing on motorcycle gear with padding. Lots of margin on the latest and greatest tech is great for a distributor.

Enshittification. His non shill videos USED to be just a side project to fill content when it was just the two of them. I still wonder how much they got for the T7 video from mother yamaha.

The entire point of the video was that fractures are a quantifiable number and can be used as a solid data point to further elaborate on the lack of/development of "better" protection from the majority of the textile crowd, then goes to suggest said better protection at the end.

Check out the "gronk" here locally on the forums, might be what you are experiencing.

Hold onto your pants as soon as AI starts crunching chemical battery composites and membranes. Prepare for a solar panel boom if they get efficient storage ready to go, but that's a whole different story.

@Jayzonk If you have a die grinder and scotchlocs it's a trivial task.

That's also a thing of the past, most throttle tubes are ptfe and self lubricating, in fact adding a substance will only collect particles then turn whatever grease you have into a fine abrasive.

Yeah, just don't do it. I'm four years in with an extremely lightened return spring. Hasn't changed a bit. If I had a concern I'd replace the entire cable since it's only 30 bucks.

Disheartening to hear, difficult to get that trust back.

You bet, get that front wheel off the ground with your choice of ballast holding it in the air while on the center stand. Tape a pencil to your forks and get it a hair away from the rotor, then spin.

Throw a dial in there and measure the runout? Doesn't hurt to verify yourself.

Brrrrr. 36°F this am but high of 70!

New tire time, 4th set of road 5's and annual cleaning.

They will charge 150 but ETA is highly variable. I sent in my dirt bike throttle and clutch cables back in December and it took 3 months to get them back. On top of that they screwed up the clutch cable and I had to modify it (shorten) because they can't math but they gave me the option to send it back, to which i didn't since I wanted to ride.

That's one happy 5 year old.

People own their bikes long enough to get corrosion issues? Fluid film is kinda the gold standard in the great white north, that's what I use on our cars/trucks, I'd be hesitant on a motorcycle, shits slimy. Probably be better off with diligent wash downs instead.

I would also ensure you're seeing 12ish vdc at the starter motor itself when engaged easier said than done but I'd agree with skip.

Wife and I both sold our sleds before we got married. Logistically its a tough proposal living in the cities. Storage, trailer, driving to snow... it sucks. Would 100% have sleds over streetbikes if we had the resources/didn't live in concrete hell. Would probably keep the dirtbikes tho.

My mityvac lasted about 2 times before it just went to crap. I switched to a power bleeder setup with a bunch of different cap sizes and have been happy minus the cleaning of the container between uses but meh.
