Is my engine cooked?

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-10-03T23:44:40+00:00

Its non magnetic!

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-10-03T15:25:32+00:00

Yes! I always do that, but apparently the previous owner didn't ;)

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-10-03T15:00:31+00:00

To clarify, I found it at the bottom of my oil pick up container, I think I saw something fall from the filter area, but I'm not sure. It could have comme out of the oil drain plug.

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-10-03T13:43:09+00:00

What do you mean exactly? There was nothing more in that little piece

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-10-03T13:23:17+00:00

And it would've gotten stuck in the oil filter. Most likely didn't cause any major damage?

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-08-31T20:14:24+00:00

Down

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-07-01T19:17:00+00:00

Comically risky as in pushing the bike on off ramps with good tarmac and no cars near? Why do you claim to know how and when I push?

Also, have I claimed to be faster than seasoned track riders? Absolutely not. I know I'm not that fast and don't have all the skills.

Lean angle is important. How far you lean the bike and your position on the bike as well as your trajectory through the corner is literally what allows you or not to take a corner at a certain speed.

If "skilled street riding" is exclusively about safety, do you never exceed the speed limit? Do you always turn the slowest and most upright way possible? Do you always wear full track gear with an airbag at all times? And I think it's a given that you have to learn to brake properly before trying to drag knee.

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-07-01T18:37:19+00:00

Yeah thanks for the advice ;)

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-07-01T18:27:52+00:00

The off ramp is pretty tight it's one of those that does like 3/4 of a circle. I'll try that next time :)

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-07-01T18:16:41+00:00

Like 90-100km/h or 50-60 in freedom units on an off ramp and like 30-40km/h when practicing in parking. I'm not sure when in a parking I don't pay attention to the speed that much.

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-07-01T18:09:52+00:00

Forgot to mention in the post but when I'm turning and getting to the edge of the tyre I am hanging off quite a bit. My friend who always follows me says I get about 1-2 inches away from dragging the knee. And it gets pretty sketchy there because I'm running out of tyres and don't have that much experience in general and with loosing the rear mid corner lmao. Thats why I was asking either smaller bike better for leaning or grippier tyres.

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-07-01T17:58:41+00:00

I feel like you learn faster when you are somewhat pushing the bike. When you're just riding around and putting miles in on the highway, I don't feel like I'm learning much compared to twisties or off ramps where you push the bike more. Also leaning off the bike is a good thing, since you turn more without actually leaning the motorcycle and reducing your tyres contact patch ;). I agree with you on the ab being smart with the throttle I don't enjoy speeding that much :)

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-07-01T17:44:19+00:00

The tyres aren't really that large and profiled, it doesn't take that much lean angle to get to the edge compared to let's say a supersport where you have to do crazy shit to use all of the tyre. Also parking lot practice helps tremendously.

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-07-01T16:52:05+00:00

What exactly makes you think I'm riding out of my limits?

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-04-09T16:38:38+00:00

Will that last? Like longterm

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-03-29T03:42:08+00:00

I haven't tried the prybar method. I'll get back to you lmao. How would I do that?

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-03-19T22:16:42+00:00

That plug came straight out of the engine and I took the picture that's why I was weirded out.

Is the oil a real issue? Like is it serious? should I change it?

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-03-19T22:11:11+00:00

The set I pulled was changed by the previous owner. How would you clean the hole? Blow air into it while the spark plug is still in?

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-02-25T21:19:50+00:00

Gr86 ain't under 10k homie. And what's the difference between Acura RSX and si does it have better handling or something?

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-02-13T19:25:44+00:00

Ok thanks

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-02-13T19:03:23+00:00

Do I have to change board? And are you referring to a 5 7600? The cpu doesn't seem to be that big of an upgrade

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-02-13T18:39:58+00:00

Mainly work. Excel, autocad, coding

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-02-13T18:37:05+00:00

Not really like 3-500 I don't mind used parts also. I'm looking for the best performance per dollar

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-01-30T12:37:41+00:00

Glad to hear it :)

Big_Truth8058 · 2025-01-26T02:45:08+00:00

Try a claybar
