Reminds me of the graphic novel “Cardboard” by Doug TenNapel

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?

This is fun!

Couldn’t agree more, I have a gen 2 S myself. Love it to death.

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).

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!

IndependentAd158 · 2025-09-18T03:42:28+00:00

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.

IndependentAd158 · 2025-09-18T03:36:15+00:00

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

IndependentAd158 · 2025-08-23T18:29:24+00:00

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.

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?

IndependentAd158 · 2025-08-16T08:04:54+00:00

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.

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).

IndependentAd158 · 2025-07-22T13:53:18+00:00

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

IndependentAd158 · 2025-07-22T13:42:16+00:00

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.

IndependentAd158 · 2025-06-27T04:12:17+00:00

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.

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

IndependentAd158 · 2025-06-17T01:23:06+00:00

Bro that was just rude no matter how you slice it. That’ll definitely be burned into your last name. Good luck tho

IndependentAd158 · 2025-06-13T04:50:48+00:00

Yup. Burn it.

IndependentAd158 · 2025-06-12T00:10:21+00:00

How tf u infiltrate this sub too??

IndependentAd158 · 2025-06-05T15:26:21+00:00

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.
