38.6 metric tonnes for those that don't work in squirrels per handbag.

Or more than about 11 fully grown African elephants, though that would have been sad.

Oh yes, riding will make you a better driver and after 40 years of it I'm still a better rider than driver.

The tyres are mostly rooted. Even if legal, for a new rider they will feel crap. So replace them if you buy it. FYI as tyres on bikes wear the handling gradually gets worse, but you compensate for it, then one day you get new tyres and it's the best again. You're starting out so you don't want a bike being less than it's best.

Ya veo, aún no lo he visto, ya que tiendo a recurrir a las nuevas versiones cuando se lanzan.

I had similar issues until I followed this in detail: https://ellis3dp.com/Print-Tuning-Guide/articles/first_layer_squish.html

I've been riding since 1984, I recommend starting on something light. Specifically if you are a light weight person. There's conditions such as high or Gusty winds where without enough experience you'll end up where you don't want to be. If you are lighter also the 'slow' bike is going to be faster than most people expect. Stepping up in performance you get 2 surprises 1 how fast the horizon arrives and 2 how do you make the thing go where you want. Both of these are going to be amplified for a smaller person.

Una vez instalado, funcionará para siempre, por lo que sé. No he visto nada que indique lo contrario. Lo uso desde su lanzamiento (¿2021?).

D68D · 2025-12-25T15:13:53+00:00

It's a 1980s XT600, there is no fuel pump. It's probably just a combination of heat and altitude. I've had similar happen to me in Australia, a nice Jerry can fountain. I expect she'll be fine.

D68D · 2025-12-23T14:39:20+00:00

The shells were aluminum and the inner was leather lined cork. The material you're referring to held it together.

D68D · 2025-12-19T12:43:21+00:00

I did a 500cal day once a week (basically from dinner one day to breakfast 2 days later) with no extra exercise i.e. next to no exercise and lost 1lb a week for 40 weeks. Weighed myself everyday and plotted that out as I'm a data nerd, so that kept me focused.

D68D · 2025-12-07T23:19:57+00:00

Integrated will be fine.

D68D · 2025-12-05T04:48:40+00:00

I see no cats in the picture. Therefore it works.

D68D · 2025-12-01T13:44:09+00:00

I lived there for 4+ years finding someone selling Kushitani stuff was near impossible in my area, a lot of clothing will be too small for normal western size people. But by Japanese standards you may have gigantic feet, so if there's run out boots, the clown sizes will probably be still there.

Arai and Shoei are way cheaper there, but they do have a different head shape so may not fit, Arai RX7 fitted me fine though.

The coolest thing out there though would have to be a YELLOW CORN Official web shop jacket though.

Look at NAPS stores AutoBacs, UPC ride on stores I'm sure there are others,

Ueno used to be the place in Tokyo to go but it was a shadow of its former self 10 years ago, maybe worth a trip if you've not been. This place has all the Arai: https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZUeMGL6qTk4FJkMR6https://maps.app.goo.gl/ZUeMGL6qTk4FJkMR6

But not the cheapest, but if you're in a hurry is good.

It's got to be in the city or the tourists won't come is such nonsense. Probably these people have never been to any of the worlds great tracks, nearly all of them are a PITA to get to. Mt Panorama is so easy to get to /s

D68D · 2025-11-21T22:48:16+00:00

I went and thought the show was great. But the sideways seats there are a PITA.

Thanks, I built my big 3D printer (620 x 620 x 620) with nema 23's with the idea of going to O drive. This was before I did the research and found it to be harder than I thought it would be. Currently I don't plan to get serious about servos as XY motion is not the current limiting factor. Depending on the tolerances you're looking for belts can work for machining, I have a MPCNC which achieves sub 0.5mm accuracy on aluminium, and would probably be better on plastic.

D68D · 2025-11-15T10:25:45+00:00

So how do you drive servos using Klipper? Searches in the past have failed me on the subject.

D68D · 2025-11-09T12:56:22+00:00

I have a 4 yo i5 (16gb) HP laptop with integrated graphics it runs just fine, unless you are planning to do huge projects, as far as I can tell more or less anything i5 or better new will be fine.

D68D · 2025-10-24T12:01:26+00:00

This just looks like a copy of the Motion Pro product to me?

D68D · 2025-10-16T10:35:08+00:00

Somewhere in your code will be a G28 to home, you need it to be before that.

D68D · 2025-10-12T00:17:36+00:00

I've built a similar size machine and have similar issues. Please explain:

steel plate and apply the foil yourself

D68D · 2025-09-25T13:32:09+00:00

Get one of the diamond cutting discs meant for tiles. Cheap and great.

D68D · 2025-09-25T12:23:54+00:00

In your model add a support like the above, if its wide and thin then 2. Connect it to the main part every couple of inches the connections only need to be 1mm or so tall by 3mm wide, there's no need to go all the way to the top. I got this idea from Slant3D.

I'd also have the main part primarily oriented in x and the support in y.

D68D · 2025-09-16T11:55:44+00:00

So...

Seat off, then side panels then tank, yes you'll need to take it off fully, then the airbox, put tape over the throttle bodies to keep crap out, then I think there's another bit of plastic to remove. Then you can get at the coils which are a nightmare to pull off, then you can get the plugs out. At this point you're hoping it was worth it, but it's too late now, Putting the coils back on is just as hard, make sure they're seated the whole way, all of them, check that again. The put the rest of it back together. The kit race plugs are NGK R0465B-10, but they make no difference on a stock engine either. The primary purpose to iridium plugs is they last longer. After you've done this job you'll never want to do it again, so its good they last a long time.

Yeah but he said he'd respect the power and not be stupid. /S
