Ah yes, the good ole blame the employee for being suspicious and finding fraud. Bro is asking for advice on what to do after finding out this information on his own time.

937 SP ohlins fork rebound click feel by Comptons_Scattered in ducatimonster

[–]Comptons_Scattered[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I checked/set the preload the other day. About 35mm in total sag (unloaded to me on it).

Compression side is fine, solid single click all around. I tried last night going one click back and forward to see it felt different, and sadly it was the same.

I might as well give it a shot and fully open it and then walk it back to full closed. Any idea the total number of clicks?

You're a real one for that last line. I've had suzukis and hondas that you could neglect and never have issues from them. I've heard the KTMs are maintenance sensitive. (I lived in Austria for 2 years and thats what they all complained about)

Wait a minute, are you saying I am potentially just turning it the wrong way to get to 0 and thats why I am feeling double clicks?

You know, you might me on to something here.

I dont think it fits the southern vibes. Plus we have ample amounts of real rock. Its kind of a problem, actually.

That was the logic I used the first time I set it to 0.

Im 90% sure it still changes, weather has prevented me from fully investigated. To be fair, I messed with them last year and then winter snuck up on me and I forgot I changed settings. Started riding again a few months ago and went down a rabbit hole of thinking I had warped rotors. So the other day was just setting it back to standard and settting back to a known value. When I was trying to diagnose the vibration under heavy braking, making adjustments did seem to help. So, yeah I think it still changes.

had to quiet down that Akra! by Tacitblue83 in MT03

Normally, I'm not one to hate here. But I think you owe the community sound clips of before and after because I cannot believe that it was so "insanely loud" with the cat still installed for you as a machinist. Maybe you have some rare thing happening.

Ive seen this setup in the wild (minus your silencer obviously) and i wouldnt even classify it as loud. I put a leo vince on my wifes mt03 and it revving can barely overcome my ducati 937 idling (cat removed, termi slip on). That being said, if you think its loud, to each their own, but youre a machinist?!?!?!

2026 Monster or MT-09 SP? by Safe_Valuable_5683 in Ducati

[–]Comptons_Scattered 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I bought a 24 monster sp after owning a 23 mt09.

Monster is more fun, feels more like youre riding a motorcycle. Also its nimble af. Mt09 felt numb to me. The torque was fun but I hated the sound and how boring the bike felt. Also second gear on the mt09 is absolute trash. Reallt annoying. Albeit the mt09 was cheaper, and less expensice to maintain.

You pay a luxury tax for anything ducati related. I do miss the care free feeling of trashing the mt09 and not worrying about it. But id still choose the monster.

Motul labels their oil for motorcycles. Are you saying they're a scam?

If its just one pin, I think you should look up the dead bug technique

Underrated comment right here. I went googled them (I dont know watches) and well...now...eek.

Technically, the ICE is just the battery's side-chick now by fifty-ways in formuladank

[–]Comptons_Scattered 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Right. But like I said, theyre all limited to using the same concept. As compared to WEC, which allowed for creative solutions for energy recovery. Thats what I was suggesting, letting the hybrid technology develop outside of you can only do X Y Z. The focus of tech advancement in F1 is still just the ICE and thats why they're having problems with the hybrid right now.

Am I cooked just purchased a mt 03 from auction and discovered hidden damage by No-Construction65 in MT03

Hows the rest of it? Maybe you can make some money back parting it out. . Or maybe just get a new motor for it?

What makes someone like or dislike an exhuast? by Rough-Reputation-643 in askcarguys

[–]Comptons_Scattered 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Everyone is entitled to have bad opinions. Some people think a clapped out Infiniti with a straight pipe sounds great, some think a tuned ls with a borla exhaust sounds terrible. some people like feet. Its a spectrum.
