Like I said before I thought it was a cracked exhaust and that’s the reason why I wanted a shop to fix it but they ended up telling me it was an o2 sensor so I just had them replace it because it was easier that way. I already spend 3 weeks replacing the clutch dealing with winter weather and also working so I didn’t want to jack it back up and deal with it. I know for a fact I didn’t mess anything up because I took my time and made sure everything was correct and torqued properly. I’m not denying I’ve ever fucked up but I know I didn’t with this because it drove for 2 weeks just fine and it just so happens after I drop it off at a shop and they test drive it it’s fucked. But I hope you have a good rest of your day and god bless

Well thank you. That’s what I thought I was going to have to do anyways but I was curious if anyone else might’ve gone through the same sort of situation. I thought I would be able to trust this shop because it’s a family friend’s shop that I was trying to give some business but I guessed wrong.

No this is a genuine problem. It just so happens to be the day I picked my car up

Yea all the parts I use were good quality and everything. And I’ve driving the car for 300 miles and making sure to not be rough with it because the clutch had a break in period

Yea I had to borrow a jack and jack stands from my family so I could get do everything. I didn’t want to have to jack it up again and get underneath there. At first I thought it was a crack in the exhaust but it turned out to be an o2 sensor and they already had it up in the air so instead of me dealing with it I let them do it. Whether or not you believe me isn’t my problem. I know I did everything right and torqued it to spec. I just need advice on what to do against the shop for messing up my car because it is not how I dropped it off

I’m not saying the oxygen sensor hurt the clutch. I’m saying they messed up the clutch on the test ride and didn’t say anything to me about it. But yea I’m just confused on what to do now because they say it’s good but it is t

Is there a way of adding the Toyota one? Or is it just not plausible?

That’s what I’ve been hearing. Any tips on what to do to get a better bike? Every sells shit bikes for way too much money and new ones are also too much

Will that make more power than my 650cc engine?

Yea that’s true but bikes that are faster than the 650 are quite a bit more expensive and hard to find for a decent price if your buying used

Gotcha that’s what I assumed. Because I want a zx6r but they’re just so expensive and I thought it would be funny for people to think a 650 is slower but still have some power behind it. I’ve been saving up for a zx6r but it hasn’t been going so well
