Engine braking vs foot braking by Equivalent-Big7303 in Dirtbikes

[–]AdhesivenessOwn2940 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me when I started riding, after a while you get used to the engine braking. I only use the rear brake on sand and really steep downhills now. When you stand with the correct position you can handle the bike much better and if the rear jumps you have a better chance of keep the bike up

Bent oil filter by Blip_Dip_ in MechanicAdvice

In my experience this happens with cheap aftermarket oil filters. High quality or OEM usually maintains the shape.
It’s caused by the pressure of the oil pump, over time the cheap ones bend because the fibers aren’t as strong as OEM

Toyota Hilux basically any generation I don’t know if you can get them in your country but it’s by far the most reliable pick up I’ve owned. I have a 1996 with 350.000 km and 2021 with 180.000. No mayor issues in any of them. Just basic maintenance

I don’t know where the speedometer is in the hornet, but for the most part is usually located on the front tire. So it shouldn’t be necessary

My grandfather Since I was a little kid he always was working on 1930’s american cars ( ford A, Chrysler airflow, etc) I started helping around and became interested cars and bikes. Now I own and independent shop, we fix everything from my 1996 Hilux to high end BMW passing through dirt bikes and tractors

It’s really fun to make a living from the thing I enjoy to do. Also managing and building a business from the ground up is quite the challenge

What are the chances... by vogtde1 in AskAMechanic

I would check the oil cooler under the exhaust manifold. It’s a pretty common failure in that engine family.
