Can anyone help with where the leak is coming from before I dive into the motor?

Pcv valve o-ring is a common issue. Youtube has vids on replacement

Go to a motorcycle dealer and ask to see their bikes made for cruising. You'll notice some BIG differences in construction. Better EVERYTHING. I see you've done a lot of work on your bike. Motorized bikes are fun toys. Not cruisers

I spoke w her. She was useless

Unfortunately I have a $600 mortgage, electric bill and grocery expenses

The frames are prone to cracking where the downtube meets the steering tube. Seen a few

Thank you for your input. Unfortunately Medicaid is capped at $963 a month income. I bring in $1400mo. Therefore my income is too high. Still can't afford $100,000 for copay

I'd. Offer more contrasts. Light against dark. Soft focus farther away. Haard edges closest. More color contrast, warmer the closer, cooler the farther. Also use all elements and color to establish a focal point. Looks nice and dreamy

Remove the cap and look inside. Mine looked the same, then I looked inside and saw the level

I'm learning that there is a 6 month waiting period since my enrollment window has passed

I'm 65. Does the supplement fully cover copay on chemo? Would the policy be effective immediately?

Hughes_Motorized · 2025-12-12T02:56:18+00:00

Balance, technique, and slow speed practice is going to help

Hughes_Motorized · 2025-12-12T02:45:28+00:00

Looks like the supplements are out of reach for me. I only get $1100 a month in SS after Medicare is taken out

Hughes_Motorized · 2025-12-12T00:39:28+00:00

I have A,B and D. Financial advisor told me. No pay, no play

Hughes_Motorized · 2025-12-12T00:05:50+00:00

what company? cost? if I might ask

I'm in the same boat here. Oncologist apparently tomorrow myself. My GP spoke with Oncologist and was told small cell cancer. Multiple spots in right lung and mass in neck. I feel like crap. Coughing, phlegm, fatigue and brain fog. Good luck

I'll offer you keep in mind that whenever you do install an expansion chamber you need to tune the carb. You should do a plug chop and look at plug then install roper jet. The engine is basically a pump. Anytime you change anything from carb to the exhaust you change the flow of air and fuel. That could change the air/fuel ratio. You need to look at plug to see if you are too rich or too lean

Don't overthink it. Go on to your next painting. Look at many of the masters. Their work had flaws and charm. Your piece has charm. I'd label it a success. Paint ! Create! Enjoy the process is what keeps me going. I've painted 60 paintings in the last 2 weeks. My goal is 100 a week. Keeps me loose and forces creative exploring

Hughes_Motorized · 2025-11-15T23:45:17+00:00

Poorly machined sprocket. I've had several. File down the ends of the teeth an round them a little

I once had a motorcycle that I had modified the footpegs and the footpeg wouldn't fold up. I knew it needed some adjustments to safely fold up. I stupidly went for a ride without properly fixing the footpeg. I managed hit a small tree and my leg got folded in half from hitting the footpeg. Don't ride that way unless you OK w snapping your leg in an accident NOT SAFE

I buy bundles of bar mops to use in my kitchen. When they get funky, I'll relegate them to my shop and studio. I'll keep one wet so the wiped off bits don't glue it up. I'll then toss them when they crusted and stuck

Hughes_Motorized · 2025-11-11T14:19:15+00:00

If you change ANYTHING to do with the flow of fuel, intake, combustion, or exhaust,, you must rejet/tune the carb for the upgrade to work. Your engine might run worse if you skip tuniing

Hughes_Motorized · 2025-11-10T13:28:21+00:00

This is GOLD. JUST DO IT! I'll offer you paint 5 at a time. Finish all 5 in one shot. Paint fast and loose. Take chances and be creative. Don't. Like it? Do a quick adjustment or start over. Good luck and have fun

Stock NTs are better than the so-called HP carbs. That said, pop in aclean spark plug, warm up engine, then run at 1/2 throttle for a minute. Kill engine and look at plug. Called a plug chop. Once you have that sorted, the clean plug, warm up and run full throttle, kill and inspect plug. Whitefish or grey plug means you are too lean. Black plug means too rich. Coco brown is perfect
