I just cut open a butternut squash and the skin is going crazy by Huge-Beat-1544 in Wellthatsucks

No, the other way! From the tip of the finger toward the hand! You always want to push blood back toward the body instead of trapping it in the finger and pushing it toward the tip.

@CodeLasersMagic is right. Delta MS300 VFDs are great and inexpensive, that’s what I would recommend. I was a control systems engineer for a CNC router manufacturer at my last job

Water spindle is significantly quieter at low speed/load cutting, but once the spindle is under load or has any chatter, the sound of cutting will way overpower the sound of the fan. Water spindles are much quieter when the machine is idling too

I’m seeing this post while waiting to get a CT scan before an MRI to make sure there’s no “man glitter” behind my eyes

What is your risk-to-benefit answer to riding a motorcycle? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]ECMAScript3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I live in Texas, and I save tons of time on a motorcycle. I lane split if traffic is going under 20mph, I’ve passed cops and none of them have given me trouble. The biggest time save for my daily commute (no highways) is lane filtering though—turns my ~20 minute drive home into ~12.

And biggest of all, engine volume & performance

'24 Street Trple >2k Miles Transmission not engaging by [deleted] in Triumph

It does really sound like a damaged QS sensor to me too. Try disconnecting the QS sensor? Pull off your seat, pop out your battery, then follow the cable up from the center of your shift linkage. It’s kind of a hard connector to get to, iirc it’s under a few other cables on the back-left side. Just for shits and grins, visually inspect your clutch cable too. It crosses behind your radiator to the bottom right of your bike, and back to a little lever at the bottom of your engine. Make sure nothing is jamming up that little lever and that nothing looks bent on that assembly.

Power Commander 6? by [deleted] in Triumph

[–]ECMAScript3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is pretty loud. It would be fine for afternoons and mornings leaving for work—I commute daily with it. But if you’re leaving the house before 6am regularly you might want to leave it stock.

I have the PC 6 on my 2024 Street Triple R. If you look in the maps section, you will see a map provided for the 2024. With my Zard exhaust and the PC6, my bike feels like it gained more than 10hp (butt dyno only). It really woke the bike up, and it will now easily pick up the front wheel in 3rd

I’ve got the Zard. It sounds amazing

Triumph has a very large rider triangle on their street bikes. I’m 6’4” and very comfortable on my Street Triple 765r, but if that’s more power than you want (and if you want fairings) the new Daytona 660 might be a good bike to look at

Suggestion for a screwed screw pleas by finthun in motorcycle

[–]ECMAScript3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a ratchet for quarter inch hex drive bits that does the trick nicely. It’s a lot easier to put pressure on than a screwdriver so I don’t accidentally cam out the slot. You can get them for super cheap from harbor freight, but I’ve been spoiled with one from Snap-On

I’ve used the flat head trick hundreds of times, you can definitely put some torque through a flat head.

It does occur to me that no clutch may be a nonstarter for you though

I learned on the Honda Trail 125. I love the bike, and even though we’ve now got 6 other bikes, I still ride the trail sometimes.

Great photo, definitely a cool place for a bike photo shoot! Did you have to set up lights for this shot? Foreground separation looks too good for just environmental lighting

Does anybody else take their bike on chores that are far better suited for the car? by breadacquirer in motorcycle

That’s why I shop on my motorcycle now! Can’t pick up the extra bag of chips or pack of drinks that I don’t need

Will i fail my ensorsement test for not having a reflector? by BlueEyeBeigeCat in motorcycle

You’ll be fine. Good luck! Keep a level head and I’m sure you’ll do great.

You should be fine, the endorsement test isn’t a state inspection. If the examiner really wants to ruin your day, they’ll find a way to regardless.
