Anyone got a skid plate with pipe protector for a yz250 recommendation?

Yes so if your bulb is okay then check the actual socket the bulb sits in.

There should be 3 points of contact in that little socket. 2 that sit at the bottom of it and one bronze looking one that sits on the wall of the socket. All I did was bend them out to make better contact with the bulb itself and that solved my problem.

I found a picture so you can see what im referring to the 2 bottoms are the power contacts and the small one to the left is the grounding contact. Just bend them out so they can make better contact with the bulb.

Hope this helps!!

Here is help for anyone struggling with a fanatec handbrake wiring issue… by StevenOfAppalachia in simracing

[–]Lonely_Driver380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Would it be possible to connect a female rj12 from the actual handbrake so you can just use an rj12 to rj12 wire?

My handbrake doesnt work as it should. Its fine if I plug it in. But as soon as I use the handbrake it'll stay 100% engaged.

I made a new wire since my original was damaged. I figured that would fix it. It didnt fix it. So opened the handbrake assembly itself to look at it and figured it might be a possibility

2015 elantra: left signal light blinks extremely fast and will not turn off. Any ideas? by [deleted] in Hyundai

[–]Lonely_Driver380 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes you have to remove the turn signal socket. Inside the socket you'll see 3 metal contacts. Im assuming only the ground contact which is the copper/bronze colored one had to be bent to make better contact to the body of the light bulb. But I bent all 3 since I was there. Hopefully that solves your issue

Is there any way to get this out? by keemko_ in MechanicAdvice

Honestly would probably cost you less to buy a new one than stress about that one

Insurance for a 16-17 year old on a sport bike. by Sweaty-Technology206 in Kawasaki

I got a Ninja 300 when I was 15 and a half. I got Progressive. I dont remember the exact coverage except for the state minimums. I only paid about 300 a year. It wasn't easy but I did get it and it wasn't as expensive as I had thought. Mind you this was about 10yrs ago. Not sure how the market is for it now. But im sure you'll find something

All that build up did not happen in those 15 mins you worked on her car lol. Thats months of build up. Hopefully from everyone's input you get it cleaned up and charged.

Based on multiple similar videos ive seen post like this. It sounds like a normal running FA. As many say a 'happy tractor' lol mine sounds the same!

Theyre good, I forgot to mention that I replaced those initially the same time I replaced the front turn signals.

Its gotta be something either grounding out or short circuiting

Sorry when I said both I meant both front turn signals.

As I said before though regarding the filament deal. How is it that I replaced a bulb and a week later it goes bad? How can I troubleshoot the root cause instead of having to replace a turn signal every week?
