I sincerely hope that the cord is somehow string in a way to interact with the circular saw's trigger because the safety is deleted, and the saw is both battery powered and has a battery installed.

My dealer is doing an Aprilia demo day tomorrow and I’m thinking about going to ride an RS660 because why not.

Good idea. Edit: there is this too if you’re near enough. https://www.aprilia.com/us_EN/aprilia-racers-days/ Toe Rag fucked around with this message at 17:54 on Apr 12, 2024 |

I know I've mentioned how much I like my Gsx-s750, but just riding around town running some errands, it struck me that this bike is probably all the bike I'll ever want. Other bikes do one thing or another better, but this thing is just so versatile, while still being fun as heck to ride. Comfortable, makes good noise, equally at home pootling around town in 2nd and 3rd gear as it is grinding highway miles, as it is carving through mountain passes and twisty roads. I'm sure it's not for everyone, but it's perfect for me.

I just finished buttoning everything back up, and then I find the almost 20 year old tech bulletin that says the flywheel sprocket shaft nut’s torque value has been increased from 200 to 250 ft-lb. Now in the face of actually nice weather and other motos zipping around my neighborhood I have to go all the way back in to heat that nut back off (red loctite) and apply what is the maximum value my torque wrench can muster. Part of me wants to “let’s not and say we did” but… it’s kind of an important nut and why would they release the bulletin unless a truckload of customers rode into the service dept with loose nuts. http://sportsterpedia.com/lib/exe/fetch.php/pdf-bulletin:tt0211.pdf

I kinda feel like, even though an additional 25% of torque is a lot, if you've made it this far without issues, and you used red loctite, you probably don't need to go through all that to re-tighten the nut.

Do yourself a favour and never replace it, get another bike, but don't sell that one.

The good one is an Arai, maybe a Regent-X based on some google images? The cheap one appears to be a dollar store vacuuformed cosplay accessory.

 Someone posted this on reddit and people were too busy jerking themselves off about how Harley Davidson doesn't actually make motorcycles and is just an apparel and merch company to realize that none of those are parts for Kawasaki motorcycles. They're all for lawnmowers. Supradog posted:anyone recognize the helmets? Run your hand across the keyboard in any direction and you'll type the company that makes the cheap helmet. Even if you're not currently right, you probably will be in a week or two as they collapse and start up as a new company, or someone else just whitelabels their junk helmets. Might as well be Amazon/Temu brand. Strife fucked around with this message at 18:43 on Apr 19, 2024 |

Not to defend H-D, but it's an extremely silly comparison.
