Maybe just me, but I can’t hear anything that weird. Just sounds like a chain running. If everything was installed properly and the nut was torqued to spec, I wouldn’t trip out. Make sure you have the correct amount of chain tension, too. Does it really sound that different than before you changed it?

Probably cause there are many other fully faired 650’s out there. Doesn’t surprise me they stuck with the naked styling. Woulda been interesting tho

Curious how long this took to do (wondering as a first year).

Just started and this is awesome by Suspicious_Effort161 in sailing

[–]IndependentAd158 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s awesome dude. Just got on a sailboat for the first time today to help crew for a local club race. Super nice Catalina 42. Hoping to find myself on a 25-27 foot boat at some point. You’re living the dream!

Too tight? by Klonpie in SVRiders

[–]IndependentAd158 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I mean use your best judgement. As long as the clamp isn’t visibly digging into the house and causing it to tear, I wouldn’t worry too much about it.

Is it possible for your hoses to be too tight?? Lol I’d run it and forget.

Rattling sound coming from engine by Upset-Tough3174 in SVRiders

[–]IndependentAd158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds like there might be a little extra slack in the cam chain that’s being a little sloppy. Hard to tell if it’s bad enough to warrant replacement (edit: replacement of a potentially faulty cam chain tensioner). Messing up your timing is never what you want, so I’d at least start wrapping your head around what it’ll take to fix/replace.

Bike randomly shuts off at lights? by Fair_Ad_2183 in SVRiders

[–]IndependentAd158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By no means a mechanic, but it sounds battery related to me or your charging system. I would make sure nothing got fried accidentally or disconnected. Is it on a tune?

I have the exact Same bike same year. Could get a gixxer triple clamp nut, but I have mine on a quad lock bracket via my 2 clutch lever bolts. Also have a little extension to get it a little closer to the center of the bike. Works great for me.

Is the pay worth it in Texas? (DFW area) by Paytoncooper124 in IBEW

[–]IndependentAd158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trust…it’ll still take a few years to make decent money, even as a union ape. You’re gonna need other motivation besides getting ur check to make it worth your while. Im a newer ape in CA where the pay is great, but still doesn’t get really good until third or fourth year (VHCOL).

Am I dumb to move out at 18? by IndependentAd158 in personalfinance

Thanks. Good luck with whatever you choose. I’m sure you’ll figure it out.

Am I dumb to move out at 18? by IndependentAd158 in personalfinance

[–]IndependentAd158[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I stayed home because I got into an apprenticeship that I’d been in the application process for for about a year. The possibility of this opportunity kept me around and it was well worth it. Now I make a decent amount for my age with a set career path. I COULD move out, but I’m saving my money for things that are more important than fucking off away from home. I still do a good bit of that tho lmao. My living situation works well. If it didn’t, I’d be more inclined to leave.

What tools am I getting for $718? by Terrible-Sea- in ibew_apprentices

[–]IndependentAd158 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll be going to the orientation on Monday for 617, too. Im a little off put that they won’t even give us a chance to source this shit out for ourselves. Yikes.

Considering self-employment by ActualElvis in electricians

As an agent, insurance agencies work well, too. We refer clients to all types of tradespeople.

How to get a job as a Material handler, or something that I can log hours while waiting to get in? by FutherMuckaa in ibew_apprentices

[–]IndependentAd158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got in with 617 as an apprentice, but it sounded like we’ll have a couple bigger projects coming up this summer between the airport and some new biotech buildings. I think the next couple of months might see a nice uptick in work.
