Ugh. That is bad news. What does "reasonably equal" mean? I don't think my winters are anything close to new, but maybe I'll check tread depth. I expected the tire shop to try and sell me a full new set, but they didn't even ask. Maybe they were just in a rush to get through their tire...

That's good advice. We'll double check the tires that came off again. I know my brother went over the set of tires that just went on, extra carefully after he noticed the first problem.

If it weren’t spinning, wouldn’t my car be pulling to that side hard? I guess I could also mark the front wheels, move my car a bit and see if the marks move the same. Or even just do that on the one wheel and see if it moves.

So the idea is get the wheel off the ground and see if I can spin it? Someone asked what car I have. This is a Lexus IS250. It has AWD.

Tire is gone. Took car to the nearest place to me right after I posted. Colour me impressed - Active Green & Ross asked me to come back in a week so that they could retorque the lug nuts. If I'm changing tires, I like to retorque them, but I have never had a shop or dealer *ask* me to bring...

No young kid getting the blame here. It would entirely be on me. Tire comes off, I bag it where it lies before it goes onto the rack. We usually inspect the tires going on - that's how my brother caught it - but we're not as good looking at things coming off. That will change.

I wouldn't know what to look for with a strut/shock, and don't have a good way to get under the car. I know once I ask my dealer about it, what they're going to say. LOL. However I can say that I noticed no issues driving the season with my summers (the problem tire here was with a winter I...

Thanks everybody. Thank you all. That explains why that one spot would wear out. I assume those quills are only found deep in the tire and that explains why we don't normally see them. Car is at the nearest tire place waiting for a replacement. They were suggesting an alignment but it...

We put my snow tires and noticed this weird spot. There are little sharp pieces projecting obliquely across the surface of the mirror. It looks completely bald in this area, and the profile looks all off. The rest of the tire seems fine. I'm scratching my head trying to understand what could...

Ah, that's good to know. I have read a hundred posts claiming the Chinese/Aliexpress stuff is not worth it. I really, really didn't want to put together anything like a list of needed screw sizes, but I went through the Honda parts fiche for one of my bikes, picked out a handful of screw...

I'm tired of having to run and buy screws every time I want to replace a rusted out screw. Years ago I had bought an assortment of metric screws from Brafasco (now White Cap?) but now the price for an equivalent assortment is like $185. The assortment I bought had lots of screws I would likely...

Thanks @Mad Mike - that's good - and very specific ! - intel. Do you have experience with these bikes in particular? I just ordered a set of rubber gaskets and o-rings on eBay based on the recommendations of a guy on one of the VF500F FB groups. Maybe should have done some more research as...

Yeah, I think you're thinking of me. I have an 87 F1. I had it running but not road worthy. And I bet I know who bought that bike in the ad. I have pretty much everything the bike in the listing had. What I don't have is - pretty much everything the bike in the listing doesn't have. That...

Decided to focus on one of my project VF500s, instead of working on both of them together. At first planned to work primarily on the first bike I bought as I had already done some stuff like change fluids, etc. Was about to take good starter solenoid from bike #2 and put it on bike #1 - which...

LOL. I'm working on it. Or should I say, I'm working on convincing my wife ;) Plan B is to sell a bunch of wood working equipment to make room for a few bikes inside.

On my way home with the bike, a guy pulled me over. Turned out he had a V65 Sabre, recognized the Interceptor, and wanted to talk. He said he had exactly the same problem - stuck fuel lock, which he solved by doing as you suggest: bringing the helmet lock to a locksmith. All that would...

Don't put it past me! I'm one to go down rabbit holes. Years ago I did order a cheap lock pick set online and downloaded some books on it. I couldn't get the set to work, a girl at work picks locks and she said the set was crap and the "gun" didn't work. So...anybody got a beginner's lock...
