Sounds like you got it.
Is anyone well versed in motorcycles?
@here ☝🏻
What about them?
Just got a kawasaki ninja 500 and had some questions about the brakes
What issues are you having
No issues yet, I just done even know how to tell if I should change the fluid and when it's time to change the brakes
You can use brake fluid testing strips to see if your fluid is still serviceable. Also, you can look at your brake pads, if they look to be getting thin or almost touching the rotor, its time to replace them.
If you feel pulsations when you apply the brakes, that's a sign its probably time for new rotors, and most likely pads.
Okay, I'll probably have more questions soon, I have changed the oil and the coolant already and I'm getting my motorcycle endorsement on Friday, I failed the damn written test twice:( I'm motorcycle dumb I guess haha
I still need to get mine, I need a bike so i have something thats gets better than 12mpg. Lol
That's really all I drive down here, my motorcycle
Its not usually motorcycle weather where im from back in WA so i never bothered. But here in the south its almost a year round option.
Yes exactly why I got one
my bike gets like 50mpg when I ride normally, 70 when i cruise at 70mph on the freeway.
@Yuma County#0597 hey bro just curious how's your CDL training going?
is this road legal?
or a good deal?
It's legal, as long as the lights work. You have to be able to clear a speed bump, all the lights and safety equipment has to be on the car and working. Nothing can be hanging off it.
If the frame isn't bent and that's just body damage, for the price it's a good deal.
@Deleted User It looks like there are a few, but from what I've seen a cream called "LMX" may be the strongest. It looks like it's available at Walmart, Walgreens, and CVS over the counter.
Thanks brother. I meant to post this in <#322712621503479809> lol but you've answered my question so no need to move it
@Deleted User concerning that wrecked car. If it is in your state an your purchasing it is one thing but typically if you purchase a car from out of state and it has to be brought into your state they will have to inspect it and all of the lights and turn signals Horn cetera will have to work in order for you to get a title on it in your state
Just wanted to thank @Deleted User for picking up the slack! haha
And just a note, most newer cars have their oil filter on top of the engine
And newer cars have an inner cylinder that is the filter with an exterior lid that you do not dispose of, just snaps onto the lid, very easy
So you're just changing out the filter element, then?
Yes
nice
The process is very simplistic and avoids an unnecessary mess from dripping oil
yeah, I like it. I haven't encountered that yet but it makes sense.
o-ring gets replaced as well, comes in the box
that just sits on the lid
@Deleted User Why not connect your neg cable to the dead neg terminal?
I was always taught it was safer to do it that way.
Supposedly there's a non-zero chance of a battery explosion if you connect directly to the terminal.
That will severely hamper your game
Ah ok gotcha
Yeah, setting a girl's car on fire is not a good ice-breaker.
When the lady asks you why you're not connecting to the terminal, just give her the Marlboro man look, a quick nod, and continue with what you're doing.
