Oh, I thought you were referring to the ones in the sockets aisle.

Are you thinking of the luggage rack? Not many adults weigh 30 kg or less, even in Asian countries. If it has a passenger seat, shouldn't it at least support twice that much, or whatever the average adult weight is in the country or origin?

Yep, 1/4" is pretty useless. Same impact gun couldn't get the rear wheel nut off the first time I tried, but as soon as I switched from 1/4 to 3/8, it spun off like nothing. I recently bought 1/2" hose because of Torque Test Channel.Would have bought 3/4, but can't justify the price yet. I have...

I bought those for my other bikes, but when I needed one for a Diavel (large hub), they didn't them in that size but I found one of FBMP cheap. BTW, the PA sockets are 3/4" drive, so you need a 1/2 to 3/4 adapter. Also, they have a pronounced chamfer on the end, so they slip easier than you...

Put some tape around the fasteners to lessen the marring. Mine are already chewed up, so I don't bother. Also, since it's a nut and not a bolt with a head you don't want to shear off, you can use the highest setting on your impact to get it off with as few beats as possible which also decreases...

That assumes the last person to put it on didn't over-torque it with an impact gun. I always use an impact socket even when I'm the one that torqued it properly. It's a major pain in the butt to remove with a breaker bar by yourself because you need to be standing on the rear brake (assuming it...

I started with a manual extractor, then got an air-operated one. It's nice to have stored vac and an on/off valve which my manual one didn't. I was constantly pumping trying to get the very last drops. But I recently got an electric one. Kind of getting tired of smelling like used oil after an...

So this assumes you and passenger weigh the same - you can edit to suit. Divide the total weight by the HP and torque to get the baselines in the bottom rows. Then do the same for whatever peaks your interest and redo the calc. This sheet assumes the same weight bike, and is just a paper...

OK, that didn't format properly.

I've never accounted for a passenger, but theoretically if you're happy with the S40 by yourself, then you can do a quick calculation of the difference in overall weight with and without your passenger to figure out how much HP/torque you need in the new bike to be equivalent ratio...

Maybe not demoted, but hopefully de-voted.

Love Hurts was OK as an action comedy. Something along the lines of a Jackie Chan Hollywood movie. The best part was realizing afterwards who the actor is/was, as I thought he looked familiar.

Yeah, I just finished it last night after 3 attempts to watch it and ending up falling asleep. It's sooooo slooooow. I still fell asleep three time last night, but kept rewinding it to get through it. If it had been a little faster pace, the end would have been worth getting to.

I air up the tube before pushing it into the tire. Just enough to give it a little roundness but still able to compress, which prevents it from getting caught between the rim and tire. Or by the mounting spoons or tire machine head. Which is what Dunlop recommends:

I edited my post after you replied. Tubliss isn't mousse. It converts your tire to tubeless by sealing the tire to the rim with a low profile air bladder that can be pressurized to 100 PSI to keep the rim round, while at the same time allowing you to run any (or no) pressure in the tire itself.

Check out Tubliss - lets you air down to zero pressure if you wanted/needed to. EDIT - that would only let you ride all the way home if you wanted, which you may not have. You'd still have to change the tube eventually, and a sufficiently long nail right down the middle like yours might even...

LOL, this brings me back to 1988!

I don't remember much about my NS400R other than loving the distinctive paint scheme with the yellow patch. It was my first sport bike after my first dual-sport, so I do recall a huge learning curve with the additional weight and alien riding ergo's. But then I only owned it part of one riding...

I'm looking for a walk-in showroom - do they have one?

I did some skeet shooting in California a couple weeks ago with the only shotgun I had available to me - my nephew's Benelli M3. I still did well enough, which has gotten me a little more serious about finally getting my own gun and membership at a club. I've lost track of all the old shops I...
