    Recent movies you saw - recommend or no

    Last week I rewatched some of Clive Owen's earlier work: BMW Films' "The Hire" Series: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLsO2HF8sdQ9QMF-bOz_-qfw4dbeCBW6e7&si=rIc5Hm_0i3eO37F9 And my favorite King Arthur movie, mostly because it's a completely different take on the legend...

    Recent movies you saw - recommend or no

    Sorry to hear. I guess it's not for everyone, but it sure was for me! I'm watching TRON: Ares on Tuesday (hopefully). Would have seen it on opening night with all the fanboys if I didn't have so much prep for Thanksgiving. I saw TRON as a kid and loved the concept. To this day, I still want...

    Rear brake failure

    But that's exactly the problem - not being able to bled the section where the air is trapped, otherwise you wouldn't be resorting to trying to push from below. The correct way is to orient the system so that air bubble can float to the bleeder.

    What exactly are you trying to clean, and what's on it? That might helps us recommend a better product.

    Rear brake failure

    I think it comes down to how well the lines are bled at the factory or during a brake fluid service. I have noticed that my 998 rear MC still works well since I last bled it in 2022 while elevating the caliper to be at the highest point. But I only had it on the road for 2 seasons and not much...

    Internet Providers besides Bell and Rogers

    What I've found from trying various third party ISP's is that no matter how well-supported they are, there's nothing they can do (and can't even provide an ETA) when their upstream provider (Rogers or Bell) is the source of the problem. What's sad is that I tried to stay with Tek Savvy at one...

    Rear brake failure

    I don't use my rear brake much, so I haven't bothered to really look into it, but the leading theories are sub-par OEM Brembo MC design allowing air intake on the return stroke (as @Sunday Rider mentioned) in combination with the location of the MC near the hot engine and exhaust promoting...

    I never said it does. Please don't spread misinformation.

    Rear brake failure

    It doesn't look like the wheel needs to come off to unbolt the caliper.

    Daily sports car?

    I'd have no qualms about driving either of those in the winter. They're both all-alumin(i)um, with the Lotus also having some carbon body panels. I've never had a sports car I didn't drive in the snow, but always ended up selling them within a few years before any rust started appearing to...

    Rear brake failure

    Not to give you false hope, but it took me a LOT more than just 3 pumps to build pressure on the Ducati rear MC's I've bled starting from zero. Might have been because of the caliper being underslung below the axle and the line running around and under the single-sided swingarm. I'm happy to...

    Rear brake failure

    Common problem on Ducati's wherre the MC is by the engine and exhaust. Don't know how yours is set up with DSSA, but on SSSA where the caliper is underslung and goes through the other side and under the swingarm, the best way is to unbolt the caliper and elevate it while bleeding. Last time I...

    You replying to me? I don't know where you're buying your WD40, but my 4L can with bonus spray bottle was about the same price as that paint thinner you linked.

    V4R

    When did Ducati start offering a warranty on "R" models??? When I bought my 2000 748S, I was also considering a 748R, but was told by Brampton Cycle that there would be no warranty because it was meant for competition. I've ignored all R models since under that assumption.

    Degreaser Recommendation

    I should add, I wouldn't use it on my chain or anywhere else where there are rubber seals.

    Degreaser Recommendation

    For actual degreasing, WD40 is my go-to.

    We Know you Ride, But do you Shoot?

    Reminds me of the guy who sold me my first GSX-R750 back in the day. He sold it to finance a GSX-R7/11 build and we kept in touch. It was going to be a great project until he got a call that someone was coming to repossess it due to an unpaid lien that wasn't disclosed. The repo man arrived...
