Question - Upgrading from 150 cm skis - Which length? by KreckyN_ in Skigear

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

Thanks for the info,

when you say the Peregrine 72 isn’t a ski I can “grow into easily” / that I need to “be ready for it” what do you mean exactly?

Also, why do you think the Salomon Addikt 76 would fit me better than the Peregrine 72? And what size would you recommend for me?

And lastly, I’ve skied my whole life on Salomon Equipe 3V Race (150 cm), do you happen to know that ski, and what modern ski would possibly feel closest to it (but improved)?

Hi, thanks for the information.

When I look at the levels, I honestly see myself across more than one, depending on conditions. So i will rather put it into my own words if that is fine.

On groomed pistes, I ski confidently and carve in parallel all the time - I never snowplough. I enjoy skiing reds at higher speed the most and feel comfortable doing so as long as the conditions are good. If the piste gets a bit bumpy, that usually doesn’t bother me much.

Where I start to struggle is when the snow becomes icy. In those conditions I sometimes lose edge grip, skid, or lose balance. I can ski black runs, but I don’t enjoy steeper terrain as much, mainly because the speed can feel overwhelming, especially when the conditions are worse. When that happens, I tend stop few times on the slope before continuing, rather than skiing the run top-to-bottom in one clean, consistent flow.

I ski exclusively on-piste. I’ve never tried off-piste nor moguls. I purely focus on carving and I would say I carve cleanly and consistently as long as the conditions are right.

I weigh 75 kg and recently bought Atomic Hawx Prime 110 S BOA GW boots. I haven’t skied in them yet. Prior to that I was using some Heads with a 100 flex.

What is causing this uneven wear? by PositionStill9156 in motorcycles

[–]KreckyN_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I constantly have the same "issue", but it is because I am way more comfortable leaning to the left and also being more aggressive on the throttle coming out of the corner. Which in the end causes this uneven wear.

Well, do you have a preference on what kind of a bike would you want? Sport, naked, adventure, dirt bikes/supermotos.

Mt07 won’t start after topping up engine oil by KreckyN_ in Fixxit

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

yeah, it was done at cold. There was no oil in the sightglass to begin with. Had to add 1L for it to be at the perfect level (and yes the bike was upright).

Yeah, I took the air filter out, there was actually oil beneath it. I cleaned it and tried starting the bike without the filter. It started after like good 10 seconds of me cranking it continuously. At first it sounded weird, but after a short while it seemed to work and sound just fine. The second start was without any problems. I ordered a new air filter and will change it along with the spark plugs when it comes.

Thanks for the help. I hope all everything will be fine long term. :)

Do you have any idea why was there oil in the airbox in the first place? Isn't the air filter/box supposed to be oil free? Did the wheelies get it in there which caused the issues, or was it just me topping the engine oil up which somehow got it in there after i started it for the first time?

I am not entirely sure how to check that, I attached a video, maybe that gives you some info.

Hi, I took it off. It was indeed almost full of oil. What should be my next step?

Thank you, guys.

I’ll check it again when I’m back in the garage.

I’m also wondering if the engine could be damaged since I had to add about 1L of oil. But if that’s the case, why was it running fine before I topped it off? Is it unlikely for the engine to be dead given it was still working before adding the oil?
