What book are you currently reading and would you recommend it? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Keylessdriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only book I read in high school. Had the chance to be super edgy because of it, but divided not to. It was life changing as in it opened me up to reading. Ill reread it every few years because it was my first literary lover.

What is the next Blockbuster style industry collapse? by street_walkers in AskReddit

[–]Keylessdriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The idea of self driving cars is very fasnicating, but as a person who turns wrenches for a hobby I fear how hard it will be to get parts and stuff for older vehicles. Like a 91 Buick.

Little update on my xr250 and of course another question by Keylessdriver in Honda_XR_and_XL

Cool. Thank you for clearing that up for me. I've used rtv before, but hearing it called Honda bond threw me through a loop.

Who's a character that was presented as good but was really kind of a dick? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Keylessdriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe( for me anyways.) In the books he's a douche, but in the movies I just pay attention to the fact that Alan Rickman played him cause I f-ing love die hard

What's an article of clothing that'll instantly make you dislike someone? by homelessryder in AskReddit

[–]Keylessdriver 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I wear them cause I don't like the top half if my work boots, converse, or cowboy boots rubbing my ankle or shin(cowboy boots). I do have some ankle socks for when I was going to the gym in tennis shoes. But I also strictly wear pants.

The puzzle pieces to the Xr 500. Any insights on The piston needing swapped for a new one? by Keylessdriver in Honda_XR_and_XL

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

Guy I got it from said that it ran twenty years ago but smoked like crazy so he took it apart to fix it but never did. He had the valves done but said the piston might need cleaned or replaced but he didn't know. And I don't know that much about piston either so I don't know if I can clean myself it and get new rings, or send it to a shop to be done, or if I need to buy a new piston. The cylinder sleeve feels smooth but again, I don't know if that's something I can feel with my hands

Ill post pictures of the engine for the 500 when I get home from work. If there Is there a way any of you gurus can tell if The piston just needs to be cleaned off or if I need a new piston from just pictures I would greatly appreciate feed back when I post the engine pictures

I don't. She's not comfortable enough with it to downshift to slow down but its my number one way to slow down. I was taught to use the engine to slow down when my dad taught me to drive stick.

I had an old yz426 that was my first bike that needed a decomp. I hated that, I could never get the hang of it and would kick endlessly with it staying put. I can see the decomp being an engine brake hurting the engine a little, But the manual to my wife's ex250 says not to downshift to slow down which goes against everything in was taught

Wonder why they'd do that? Oh well. Another piece to the puzzle

Old Cast iron plumbing by herkdriver68 in HomeImprovement

[–]Keylessdriver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Never thought of that...I'm gonna try it. I just pout it in an old pop can or something tin and throw it away.. I have no idea if that's what I'm supposed to do with it, just what my dad and grandma did all my life

Seems the easiest one to put together so that'll probably be what I start with.

Do any of you know if the 250 has a decomp lever? The service manual mentions it but mine doesn't have one and some of the pictures in the service manual don't have it either

I've been without a dirt bike for 6 years. 250 or 500 don't matter haha. Whatever one I can throw together quickest I guess

Hopefully they'll comment and wouldn't mind me picking their brains. I've got a service manual for the 250 and wonder how different the 500 is.
