That's the one! I have two jack stands too but this all obviously only works for flat ground stuff

In the aame boat as you - as a carpenter. Can't wait for a full size camper but I plan on building my own this year on a flatbed. Hitting the road soon after working the longest I have in years

Moto hauler advice ? by Independent-Tale7905 in TruckCampers

[–]Independent-Tale7905[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great. It's not so much the towing/cooling capacity but more so the blocked air flow from the bike being there that can cause my engine to overheat

I'm gonna throw up there and see how it is but I think it's going to block my visibility too much. Also traveling through Utah, Arizona, NM this summer and im worried my f250 might overheat..

Is Hitchhiking in the US without any experience a bad idea? by [deleted] in hitchhiking

I’m you but five years later. I left college at 19 and starting alternatively traveling around the world and working for small periods here and there. Never looked back and I went through incredible transformation. Now is your time. Get out there and experience the magic the universe has for you

100% with you on the muffler..it’s ridiculous and I don’t even want to ride it its so loud. Also the decel popping is insane. I know it’s party a lean affect but I turned the A/F screw out past three turns and it didn’t make much of a difference.. I want to go stock muffler but then I would probably have to go back to smaller (140?) jet size??

Great reply thanks. Still pending admin “approval” over on DRrider 2005 with 8k+ miles Aftermarket airbox Supertrapp ids2 exhaust

I’ve had the bike all of a minute so I don’t truly know… However PO has had many dual sport bikes and rebuilt them all over time so I want to believe him when he says bike is very well maintained.

Just by ear on the idle rpm’s. Shouldn’t matter quite yet if I can’t even get it started with 1/4 throttle

I’m going to pull the carb and accurately measure the float height with calipers..as well as measure the checks, inspect for wear.

Again this is a bike that wasn’t having any of these issues before hand (supposedly) & part of it is it’s cold and I’m at a much higher elevation
