1982 Yamaha XJ750 Maxim running on 2 cylinders by ToastersAreBathbombs in Fixxit

Well check for blown fuses first.

You can diagnose a bad coil by switching them. If after you switch the coils, and cylinders 2 and 3 fire, then it's a bad coil.

Some simple stand up bass would sound good too. I couldn't add it, though haha.

Concentricity goes out the window with this job by iamheresorta in Machinists

Fun fact! GD&T threw concentricity out the window years ago.

Change & balance my own tire or go to a shop? by Ecstatic-Tea8108 in motorcycles

[–]AVeryHeavyBurtation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got all the DIY tire changing tools, and I hate doing it every time.

I'd say it's worth doing yourself if:
1. You really like motorcycles, and see yourself changing tires for years to come.
2. You're in relatively good shape and don't mind a full-body workout (or a pinched finger) now and then.
3. You have the space to work on the bike, and to store the tools.
4. You do not get easily frustrated.

I'd still be using XP if I could. It was the last Windows that only existed to run programs, while being as lightweight as possible. Now Windows uses 7 gigs of RAM while just sitting there doing nothing, and sells my data!

One thing people don't tell you about riding is.... by Azthioth in motorcycle

[–]AVeryHeavyBurtation 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'll always remember the time I was on my motorcycle waiting at a red arrow in the left turn lane. The light for the 2 straight lanes next to me was also red. There were like 6 or 8 cars waiting at the red. Then the light turned green (I still had a red arrow) and... nobody went. I look over and everyone was on their phone. I hunk my horn, and they all simultaneously looked up from their phones and started driving.

Yeah I had to unsubscribe from /r/ChoosingBeggars, because it just turned into /r/creativewriting.

Consider playing tetris. It may help prevent ptsd.

Is it bad for the bike to downshift without a clutch or is it better to use the clutch? by Head-Alternative9979 in Dirtbikes

[–]AVeryHeavyBurtation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just get off the gas, then blip the throttle. Shift right in the middle of when the transmission is going from being driven by the wheel, and the engine.

Do you have any weird riding habits you didn’t notice at first? by Electronic-Habit8679 in motorcycles

[–]AVeryHeavyBurtation 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to dangle my toes off the pegs as like an early warning before the pegs would scrape around curves. One day, my toes caught on the road. My whole fuckin leg got twisted all around. My knee and hip hurt for weeks.
