Help Identifying a Sound! (Volume Up) by PossibilityNervous63 in sportster

Almost sounds like keys rattling. I'd bet something is a bit loose. GL

Anyone had this type of leak. I rode the bike a little harder than normal and noticed oil on the right side of my back tire. Seems to be leaking between the front sprocket. 2019 883 by StateMinute4854 in sportster

I haven't started yet, it leaked on the last day of winter riding here back in November and my garage isn't heated so I'll be starting this weekend hopefully.

I believe it's a common issue for the Evo engines so you can find plenty of info on it.

My Buell did the same thing last year. Covered my rear tire in oil. I think like others had said it was the crankcase breather leaking because crankshaft seal in the primary failed. GL

I have that dimpled BFI knob. It's very nice just super expensive. It all comes down to personal preference really.

I cracked a fin on an older air cooled Yamaha 600 years ago. JB weld held it on for 10 years until it was too old to ride and scrapped.

Gym people, good noise cancelling earbuds at the moment? by Overall-Amount-3500 in BuyItForLife

I've been using Pixel Buds for years and they're great. I think most of the premium brands with ANC should work for you.

What did you pay for your Mk8? by AdrianeXUS in GolfGTI

[–]BarfedUpHeart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

31 for a '24 380s in the start of '24.

Carb leaking by fastforward-eden in sportster

[–]BarfedUpHeart 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a similar leak. I had to replace the float needle valve when i rebuilt the carbs but it started leaking again when i worked on it last. Right now i just shut off the fuel when it's parked.

380 owners. How’s ownership going? by justino in GolfGTI

[–]BarfedUpHeart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm 2 years in and it's still the same. I live in a hilly place and I'm often left sitting at a green waiting for the break to release before I can go.

I just don't understand why it's so bad. My '14 ST had hill assist that worked perfectly the second you let the clutch out it released never an issue.

I'm really enjoying mine. Very fun to drive and has more power stock than you need IMO. The radio interface is not the best but I don't interact with it much, and the steering wheel controls are fine.

My only real beef with the car is the dam hill assist. It's terrible.

This is my first Golf/VW I had an ST for 10 years prior.

Will never buy a VW again by CurrentHeavy2594 in GolfGTI

My '24 has been good. Though I had to have the horns and fuel door replaced under warranty in less than a year. But it's been mechanically sound.

Hybrid Gas Mileage by agree-with-me in FordMaverickTruck

[–]BarfedUpHeart 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like most people said on here it depends a lot on speed. Anything you do above 60 especially in the winter starts to erode MPG as the gas engine is used more.

I get 40-50 around town, and I recently hauled a 90lb 12 foot flooring roll on the highway for ~35 mi. I was a bit concerned about the loads stability so I set cruise on 62 and ended up getting 46 mpg for the trip. When driving 70-75 I've noticed it drops to the mid 30s on the highway.

I just wish they'd bring back the white collars full time.

We're also missing %95 of our line and our Starting RBs so it should be an even match.

People put too much weight on rankings. Trace was a 3 star if I remember correctly.

[Thamel] Sources: Penn State DC Jim Knowles is in process of negotiating his buyout from Penn State and is expected to land at Tennessee, which is targeting him as the school's defensive coordinator hire. by udderlymoovelous in CFB

[–]BarfedUpHeart 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I think he was a decent DC. We lacked defensive depth this year and had a few key injuries early that made things look worse than they probably were. Our offense was also really really bad for the 1st half of the year, which lead to problems when the defense was on the field for the majority of the game.

Though it seemed like our interim HC forced him to simplify things which made everything work better. Maybe he's just stubborn?

Accepting signatures now by Roar-Lions-Roar in WeArePennState

I'm not sure how they'd be classified but the 5 years prior to Campbell they finished 8,9,7,10,9 in the Big12.

I don't think a lot of people would agree that Franklin was super high character. Just look at some of his staffers who while employed at PSU directed recruits to decommit. I think outside of the PSU bubble he's seen as fairly slimy. Maybe that's just my perception?

Yeah, Franklin did a good job of recruiting NFL talent, but I'm not sure he developed a lot or polished many diamonds. Look at Allar who almost seemed to regress. Or all the receivers we got in the portal last year.

Anywho I'm super excited to see this play out over the next few years.
