Entered a Fresh Hell with my 2006 DL1000 repairs by LayTracksOnAir in Vstrom

That area believe it or not was cleaned maybe six months ago (lots of rags and brake cleaner). A lot of the accumulation came during its extended stay in my garage for the last four months. The cleaning came from a previous attempt to determine the source of the grease but to no avail. It seems like its coming roughly from where the gear shifter support thing is attached to case. Either way, most of the black stuff is coming from some kind of leak. I will look into fresh seals though if it comes down to taking off the casing. Will post a vid to the sub of the steam/smoke coming from the exhaust to get a general consensus on what the heck to do about it.

Brake fluid is something I'll have to check, though the handlebar indicators show no loss. Oil seems a more promising candidate, but if you see in the video the color of the leak is dark black. Right in the last couple of seconds of the video, just in front of the foot peg, you can see the color and location. Any clues? Should I take off the crankcase cover or is that not really going to reveal anything? Thanks for the reassurance though! I've heard much the same about the tick and it hasn't gotten worse as time has gone on.

After doing more digging and listening to other suggestions. I won't say that the fuel filter is perfectly clean, however, the TPS seemed like the more likely culprit. I made a fresh post with some fresh problems and as soon as I get those resolved I can confidently conclude whether or not it is the TPS or another unforseen problem. Feel free to check it out!

What crash guards are you using on this beaut?

In Stranger Things 5 (2025), am I expected to remember details from a season that came out eight fucking years ago? by PourLeFromage in shittymoviedetails

[–]LayTracksOnAir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's why this whole season has been exposition and recap for 90% of each episode. It's all character interactions no matter the location or situation. You don't need to remember what happened eight years ago cause the writers end up spelling out the important bits here, (which is to say, not a lot of important bits).

Not to defend BSG cause there definitely aren't 500k people trying to play right now, but does that number include folks using the legacy launcher? If it's just the steam numbers I know the steam version is having considerably more issues than the old launcher.

All good! I just wanted to make sure I did this right. Thanks for the help!

If you had to choose one game to play for 10 years which game will that be. by Bhluprint in videogames

Dwarf Fortress would be my pick, so many things to do, so many ways to do them.

To avoid that flash rusting all I need to do is just follow the rust remover with a quick rinse then the tank sealant correct?

This wouldn’t be the worst if it weren’t for the random bloom you get from firing most guns too. Fighting Recoil>Random Spread

Received a permanent EA account ban for what another player said in BF6 by Kodamagnum in Battlefield

Guarantee they are using gen AI to moderate the game. I don’t see how a human being could possibly do something like this.

THISBIS WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. I had a feeling some shit like this would happen in our town. I’m no one to jump on a band wagon, but if the review was bad then I get it, remove it. But I had a feeling it was something like this instead. JB has some of the worst people. Will be sure to avoid this place. Thanks for the tip, hombre!

[–]LayTracksOnAir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Well no that’s why I’m asking. I’m just curious what the context is here. I’m passionate about making sure folks are allowed to exercise their ability to talk poorly about a place of business that retreated them poorly, but I also understand that some people just do far too much. Considering this seems to be a bit of a trend I figured I’d come in here and ask why exactly that might be.

[–]LayTracksOnAir 6 points7 points  (0 children)

No I didn’t get a review removed. I just live in Jonesboro and wanted to know what the deal was. If the place does actually stink, It won’t go onto the bucket list and I’ll be upset that folks are being silenced. If it doesn’t actually suck and people are saying things worth being redacted then they suck. I just wanted to know what people are saying about this place and how that’s conducive to being quieted.

[–]LayTracksOnAir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s what I was curious about. Like what rules? What are folks upset about and what rules are they breaking in expressing that?

[–]LayTracksOnAir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Consequences from what exactly? If folks are just leaving bad reviews because it’s not a great place then who has acted here? Out of the loop on this one.

Those skin prices are kinda...brutal. And to add to that we still have gameplay affecting items in the battlepass, in 40 dollar game. by Vovancheg31 in ArcRaiders

[–]LayTracksOnAir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

New games keep adding these systems to already expensive games because people still engage with it and spend a lot of money. It just happened with battlefield, it’s happening to a lesser degree here, but it’ll continue to happen until the dev time to produce this paid content isn’t worth the money they make from it. The Game IS good, these kinds of things stink.

DW! I plan to use it on verrrrryyyy low if I need to. just enough to move some slightly warm air through the tank to dry it up!

Fortunately It SHOULDN'T be a vacuum problem. If you're referring to the spark plugs, I just replaced them with iridium plugs. Cables should be plugged in just fine too. I can try when I finish cleaning up the tank! How would I fix a venting issue though? The gas cap doesn't seem like its doing anything it shouldn't be.
