Good for another 150k!

Once I made enough clearance with the razor blade, I could fit a credit card in there and with the much better grip/leverage/lack or concern using plastic, I cut through most of the remaining sealant like refrigerated butter. Then the flat chisel was used to pry apart the rest. Looks like the...

Success (if you can call it that):

I have a thin flat chisel I'm working up the courage to start hammering in. Based on how tight the halves are stuck together even jamming the razor blade between them, as well as the amount of dried sealant oozed out on the pulley shaft seals, I suspect I'll find a thick layer around the inside...

Hate to tell you, but I've always driven convertibles and have never been told I stink of "road smells". Riding a motorcycle, however, even with carbon canisters and cats, my wife always tells me I smell like gas.

Decided to try a razor blade and hammer to cut into the silicone and open up some space for something stronger to pry with. Going verrrrrrry slowwwwwly...

On a related topic, what would you use to separate the case halves? There are no tabs around the sealing surface to pry apart and no threaded holes (it's held together by bolts with nuts). The only exception is the oil filler plug, which I could theoretically use a long bolt to press/draw, but I...

When I used to commute on my bike, I always changed in the parking lot to get the gear off me as quickly as possible on hot days. Long zips on motorcycle overpants and they come off just like the Full Monty and they fold up into my backpack. Coiled lock through the sleeve of my jacket and...

What's the problem with wearing riding pants for the ride and changing when you get there, or wearing riding overpants on top of your all day pants and removing them in the parking lot?

Wow, now I know I'll never buy a Triumph! What an exercise in frustration trying to find a parts site that not only lists the 2025 800 Sport, but also has prices. Unbelievable.

2025 Triumph Tiger Sport 800 with 14,000 kms for $6900 with some cosmetic damage - left headlight and headlight fairing. Might be reasonable if no other major damage and you're handy. https://www.facebook.com/share/1D1huSqR6C/

I'd disassemble it before bring it in - 5 bolts and the top lifts off, then press out the bearing (or it will fall out because of the crack). OD is about 90mm, but where the neck sits when assembled, there may not be clearance for something like that. For all I know this has been like this...

Anyone used Vangro? They have the most reviews by far in my area, and 38 out of 39 ratings are 5-star, with a single 1-star rating relating to price. Never even noticed this place living in Mississauga almost my entire life and driving past it often. https://maps.app.goo.gl/aRnSnBbgyTLecMw3A

I disassembled my tire changer thinking all I'd need to do is change the bearings to fix a wobbling turntable, but found the upper gearbox case cracked at the bearing mounting surface. Any reputable places to get this welded or otherwise repaired instead of just throwing a band clamp around it...

There's a power band? Pretty sure I bounced it off the limiter and still nothing. I switched from 2-strokes to 4-strokes and then from I4's to twins to avoid gutlessness off idle, and expected more from a single. I have read/heard that the Ducati does need to be reved higher to make its power...

That's what I want to try, but only to confirm how underwhelming it is so I can stop being tempted by the unsold leftovers at 30% off. All the reviews say it's amazing and my heart wants to believe, but so did the 690 SMCR reviews, and that was hugely disappointing. So glad I didn't buy before...

You're doing it wrong. Go last, and go slow so the person in front of you is already through the corner before you enter. Unless that's what you mean by slingshotting, but then why would they care?

Trying to get away from freeform. I've accidentally "butt dialed" and deleted info.

I'm trying to find a good free/open source app to track this stuff that works on iPhone when I'm in the garage as well as Windows/browser for when I'm at my computer (hate typing on my phone). Until then, I've been using Zoho Notebook and just dumping the info in there. Works, but could be better.
