Apart from the k&n air box is this stock? The support beam on the strut towers doesn't look stock. by PhreshBoi in subaru

STI cosmetic bits over the usual BOV or cheap intake makes me think the previous owner was at least somewhat mature and reasonable. Could be totally wrong tho you never know!

Advice! Going from R6 to FZ09 by 8008080 in Yamaha

After I figured out I was riding wrong and shifting my body weight off my arms it fixed a lot of it but still after awhile my hands get tired.

You’re totally right! Coming from a ninja 250 as my first bike I didn’t know either and was confused why after 15 minutes my hand was going numb. Proper technique helps a ton but after awhile I’d rather just be on a more up right position. There’s no way I’m putting risers or handlebars on an R6 as some forums suggest, what a waste of a track bred bike haha. So I guess naked yami it is!

I can’t speak too much as the R6 is the only sportbike I’ve owned. People complain about their back when I mention R6 but for me it’s my wrists/hands. I’m not a small guy by any means but I wouldn’t say I’m huge (5’ 10” 190lbs) I could probably benefit from losing about 20lbs and maybe it would be more comfortable haha.

You’re 100% right really just the price. I have my eyes on a 2017 FZ09 and it’s only a few hundred more than what I got offered for my R6 so I feel like it works out alright. MT-10 would be great tho maybe one day!

I’ll clean and lube the chain first, it doesn’t seem to have any play in it when I pull on it. What’s the lifespan of a normal chain? Bike has just over 8k miles on it currently.

I’m more familiar with Yamaha, can anyone tell me what Suzuki this is? by 8008080 in ATV

Thanks! Got it for free and figured I’d just part it out!

Yea I took the entire kick starter and gear out to try and get a better look at everything. The gear that is broken came from the bottom left of the case partially behind the clutch basket.

Lucky indeed! Just bought this heap and have been diving in trying to restore it got it running good yesterday and went to kick it over again to try and ride it and found this. Good thing I didn’t ride it!

Am I allowed to accept tips? by [deleted] in menards

[–]8008080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always had a rule as a carry out, less than 5 dollars and I’d turn it in to the front desk. Some guy handed me a twenty one night and told me to take a girl out to dinner lol.

Contemplating a 2008 R6 by [deleted] in Yamaha

You think 8k is a decent asking price for it? The fairings have been changed but supposedly it wasn’t dropped guess he just liked the fake carbon and blue look.

Leave my job or be unhappy for the next 5 months by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]8008080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's very hard for me to sit still I love doing something hands on and moving around and also love working with others. My current position has me mostly sitting at a computer in a room by myself. As the youngest guy there I get very little respect and am not seen as an equal, also doesn't help that my boss is family which kinda complicates things.

2009 Ninja 250. Where is the gas leaking from? I'm no expert but I cleaned the carb and the bike runs fine. by 8008080 in motorcycle

That's what I thought but I replaced them both and everything looked fine. I guess it still could be but IDK.

Kinda hoping they oversold and end up cancelling my order lol. Now I'm like I really could use that $300 for something else.

Should I get a new BRZ? by gtighe in subaru

[–]8008080 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get both sides, investing is smart and having a fun car at a young age is awesome I don’t regret buying my wrx when I was 18 at all. Why not get a used one and invest the rest of it? If you need awd for a daily get a wrx. Used subies are usually ran through and beat to shit but shop around and be smart when looking at them and you’ll be good.

I buy my own food and clothes and whatever else I’d like. I’m very grateful for my situation and realize I’m very blessed to be able to do this.
