Cactus Ghost posted:fixing a broken bolt beats the hell out of fixing stripped threads. i'd bet the soft bolts are them being like "nobody is ever going to torque this to spec, and the case is aluminum, so make the bolt of spun sugar" They are made of cheese specifically so they fail before the threads in the case do

Lots of (well designed) machines have intentional sacrificial parts like that. For instance, one of our lathes has a single nylon gear in its geartrain so that if it jams somehow, that cheap and easy-to-replace gear strips out instead of something much larger and more expensive self-destructing with a lot more energy. Also it must be time to post this video again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W8KpbCbOiYQ&t=922s Sagebrush fucked around with this message at 06:11 on Apr 30, 2024 |

I spent May day riding the old/new DRZ on gravel roads and logging trails.  I suck at this. When I have a bag strapped to the rack I find it very difficult to gracefully get off the bike. I forget to open the petcock. My gear smells like exhaust and I'm very tired mentally. I tried to find 6th gear every time I had to go on asphalt for a bit. Anyway this bike is great, wheel spin and skids and slides rule and I can't wait to do this again and slide around some more.

Am I shooting myself in the foot by getting a new battery for my Scrambler from Canadian Tire, rather than paying more for another Yuasa battery like it came with? Or am I overthinking this?

I got a cheap battery for my scrambler that ended up leaking acid. I'd rather pay a bit more than deal with that again. I'm using an Energizer now

Yeah that’s where my mind went too - I’ve got the new Yuasa charging in the basement now, I appreciate your help pals.
