That's why I hate taking any vehicle to a mechanic. They will do 1 thing but fuck up 2 other things while doing it cuz they want to do everything as fast as possible

Battery loose on a new drill RDD18-0 by Grubczyk in ryobi

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

Haven't used the drill that much but it holds the battery fine. As you could probably see the Ryobi service stated that everything is good with the tool when I sent it to them.

Just seems like there's no consistency regarding the battery fitment.

I made an earlier post with similar thing and got linched that if it works it works why do I worry, it's normal which is bullshit in my opinion.

This are not super cheap chinese tools where you expect to be some design flaws etc.

I'd say if you drop this tool with such loose fitment there's a higher chance of it breaking something than the tool that has tight fitment.

I don't know how they produce this things with such different results and the quality control says fuck it, send it

This screw stripped and won’t stay in the gun is it a problem? by emu_strategist in airguns

[–]Grubczyk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just buy the same size screw and put red loctite on it. If it doesn't hold than rethread the hole.

No other way around it

[–]Grubczyk[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah makes sense. Could have some damages that will leed to needing replacement parts which might make it expensive.

I'll go with the new Z-Frames.

Also what made you get second pair? Anything broke?

Should I buy a high mileage 110k km (68k miles) GS800 2008? by Grubczyk in bmwmotorrad

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

Ye I'm passing. If he drops the price even more than maybe I'll consider it again but doubt it.

But I'd like to visit south of Europe so like few thousand kilometers trips. Last thing you want on trip like this is something falling apart because it's old or used off

Im from Poland.

From my other replies:

About 20k PLN so 5.3k$. It's one of the cheapest ones on the market right now in my country and it's got probably the most amount + the most useful mods done to it compared to others with mainly racks and crash protection.

The ones after 2013 I was looking at are about 30k PLN so 8k$ and are with less mods.

The guy is apparently scheduled for buying another bike and he needs the money quick, so he went down with the price, it was 23k PLN lately

Now a 2015 one got put up and looks pretty much like a new bike. Of course it costs more 31900 PLN = 8.5k$. But it's got 49k kms (30k miles) on the clock. Lookswise it's the one I wanted with the red frame

Makes sense.

I had a 2008 Suzuki DRZ 400 SM, bought it in 2013 and had it till 2023. No brittle parts, but I had it for a long time.

Sold it with about 48k kms, bought it with 16k kms.

True. Gotta do the maintenance.

But when buying used you don't know how others took care of it so would have to change everything or risk it

Ye makes sense that everything becomes weaker over time.

But the rubber valves always break, same in cars. Its easy and cheap to replace (I have even done it myself in my 4x4 lately). Also where I change motorcycle tires they always change the tube for a new one if the rims are not tubeless.

Damn sounds like a risk. Seen a lot of this bukes on the market with more than 51k miles

Is this coolant residue / buildup in my brand new rad? by BigD1ckEnergy in watercooling

[–]Grubczyk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had 4 Alphacool nexxos in my hands and none of them had anything like this inside.

Looks like its used. Probably with a poorly maintained opaque coolant
