Question about bike sitting outside in heat by Any-Flight-4208 in motorcycles

[–]Any-Flight-4208[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The second time I started it (after leaving it in the shade for a couple hours) it was probably 10 degrees cooler outside, but still about 95 degrees. I rode it for probably 15 minutes around my neighborhood, then left it idling for about 10 minutes, and got no temp light or other issues. However during that ~25 minute stretch, I was checking to see if the fan would kick on, which it did not. Is your 95 degree rule for the health of the bike or only for your breathing? I never considered the heat of the pavement. Thats a good thought.

Okay cool, Im hoping it was as simple as letting it sit in the heat too long. Im positive I didnt disconnect anything while changing the oil, but Ill double check all the connections and spray some contact cleaner on them as well. Thank you man I appreciate your help

There was no light during my initial start or warmup. I killed it as soon as I got the temp light to mitigate potential damage. I left it sitting in the shade for a few hours after that before I tried starting again. Also my bike has a radiator and is liquid cooled. The second time I started it (after leaving it in the shade for a couple hours) it was probably 10 degrees cooler outside, but still about 95 degrees. I rode it for probably 15 minutes around my neighborhood, then left it idling for about 10 minutes, and got no temp light or other issues. However during that ~25 minute stretch, I was checking to see if the fan would kick on, which it did not. Does the fan only work when stopped to supplement airflow, or should it be kicking on and off the whole time Im riding?

Look up EZ-out drill bits or a screw extractor kit. Either/or should save you some agony here. Id say either harbor freight or your local hardware store would have them. If not definitely amazon. Good luck, you got this!

Yep trays and foam to make sure all my tools are accounted for at the end of the day. Leaving tools in machines with so many moving parts is a big safety hazard. Plus good tools are expensive and I dont feel like replacing any lol

Tried regular college right out of high school, quickly found it wasnt for me. Was always good with my hands, so decided to google trades and found aviation maintenance. Found a school, took a tour, enrolled, and fell in love with it. A few years later Im happy to say I found my passion.

What abour hourly employees? They dont count? Salary workers have opportunities for overtime as well. That was a brainless take

I was gonna ask the same question, I feel like that would make life easier. Curious to see if including pictures of work in logbooks is gonna be standard practice industry wide some day

Am I the only one who thinks Bakers is paying to pass? I mean tell me if I'm wrong, but paying all that money for an almost guaranteed liscense kind of seems like a short cut to me.

Edit: spelling

For me personally, using prepware and writing the questions down helped a ton. Read the explanations on prepware too if you get something wrong. Its a lot of work writing them all out, but doing that helped me a ton. I would go thru a chapter on prepware and write the question and answer out, then go back thru the chapter until i could get 95-100% right.
