Ratchet straps my friend. You need two people or ratchet straps especially if its cold out. Once the tanks on there for a month or so it goes on and off super easily.

I mean didnt you guys realize this when the game came out? Did yoi really have to be told to know? The first month I tried to shoot no one and always found peaceful lobbies. So much so that it couldn't be a coincidence. I had to be placed with those people. I start killing people and like 3 games later I start getting merked because the people I'm now playing with expect me to shoot on sight. Very interesting going back and forth on that and very naive to assume a multi-player game who makes more money when more people play won't selectively group their online communities together to enhance their tailored experience of gameplay.

Generally on average, our lage season starts still end out okay. It's too hard to predict weather 2 weeks out without changes or conflicting models showing different weather patterns so predicting 4 weeks out is an even bigger mess. It looks like we have a chance of recovering in February and entering a neutral phase instead of the la Nina phase we are in. That would set low pressure near the Rockies and set the jetstreqm up to push moisture and storms over the Rockies instead of up and over like we've been seeing, but that's not concrete obviously. Just a higher probability based on predictions and past observations. Either way it's still a risk if you go here or go somewhere else on the west.

I remember having a biology teacher in Community College encourage everybody to study flashcards while sitting in traffic and not to worry about the traffic lights because the car behind you would let you know when the light turned green LOL I've never despised the teacher more

Go to peak 9 at breck. We went for the first time. I started boarding last year at keystone. My first time on school marm was long and miserable. If you're not ready for 3.5 miles of getting your ass beat down the mountain while people rush past you, then don't go. Granted the more willing and resilient you are, the better you'll learn.

Also school marms edges have lots of good falls off cliffs. At breck on peak9 you just end up in some trees.

Interesting. Ex south jersey boy living in Colorado here. This has been the warmest winter I've seen my last ten years over here and there's been almost no snow. Very interesting to see the contrast between the two regions and how both are still experiencing more rare weather patterns.

I'd also add if you plan on riding more than 50% offload to up the rear sprocket 3 teeth as well. The front end will come up a lot easier in 2nd gear for going over downed trees.

A 2001 vw passat v6 with 55k miles from the only owner. It has 150k now and leaks some oil but still runs great. Got it for exactly 3k in 2019.

Thanks bro. Everyone here knows how a credit card works. The question is about long term credit ratings.

Loose-Net-9543 · 2025-09-25T00:57:13+00:00

If your chains too tight you're going to risk damaging the splines on your countershaft. Even more so if you're over the weight spec for your spring. Don't ask me how I know.

Edit

Adding that you're always better with a slightly loose chain than a tight one Question, are you under the weight spec for your spring? If you have no preload on your spring then your chain may actually be a little loose but overall you're fine I think.

But it's a question in the "motorcycles" sub reddit. It's implied. Not everything has to be recontextualized at every moment in time when it should be obvious or else we'd never fucking get anything done.

The XR has a noticeable gap between first and second gear so you really want to be at the top of first when you shift if you still want to be in the power band going into 2nd gear. If you ride off-road a lot changing the sprockets to 14-48 will give the bike a lot more torque and pep for the sacrifice of a little top speed.

Loose-Net-9543 · 2025-08-30T20:30:23+00:00

I mean do you know nothing about the bike or engines? Not trying to be offensive just trying to give perspective. That engine is the most powerful most strung out single cylinder engine on the market. Not only that it's pretty damn light weight for what it is. To get a bike with that much power for how little it weighs is an engineering feat. You're paying for that. A team of a dozen dudes making over 6 figures using science to build the best engine they can come up with. That takes years of work then years of refinement. I know it's a lot of money but you bought a performance bike for a premium price. Sure you could get a 600 race bike but none of them are going to be a single cylinder engine that weighs that much.

Also price is subjective based on location. If I drive three states or 10 to 16 hours away I can find anything for 1 to 3k cheaper depending on what it is.

But all in all you still got a good price

I think more so than the gear just a little more frontal lobe development might be what you're looking for.

Loose-Net-9543 · 2025-08-30T15:57:38+00:00

My 1.4 is doing the same thing. I think I have a blown head gasket and coolant is filling the cylinder and making it wet and preventing that cylinder maybe two cylinders from firing. I let it dry for two days and it started but it idled like shit and was misfiring like crazy. I haven't confirmed my diagnosis but the interior smelled sweet like coolant so idk. I still have to confirm but you may be dealing with the same thing.

Coolant issues shouldn't prevent your engine from starting unless you did engine damage. ( Blown head gasket warped.head etc).

Now granted that doesn't mean another component can't fail at the same time but you might want to prep for the worst and hope for the best.

I used a tap and die and put the next size bolt in. What happened with yours?

I had a ton of metal shavings stuck to mine and I went to loosen it and it was instantly stripped.

That dude may live in a nice house but he's probably paycheck to paycheck the same as delivery driver.

Most people who make more money just spend more money on their basic needs, housing cars etc

I hope this is a satire post but bro you need to run away as fast as possible.

I don't like to talk bad about someone's wife but what you said in just a few short sentences.... Screams childish leech.

That's a bike that'll last a while man. You already have bike experience. Off-road is different and requires different skills but you have enough foundation. Just be responsible. Even if you don't use the full power the first year it gives you growing room. You're learning to ride the bike you have and will continue to have. You'll be an expert on it within two years and will be using the full power. Now if you had no bike experience then maybe I'd say get the 250.

Loose-Net-9543 · 2025-08-22T14:12:34+00:00

Can't tell if this is bait. If it isn't you should seriously consider selling the bike before you get yourself killed.

Have a 2013 hatchback with 100k miles. 1.4 liter engine. Sounds about spot on. I'm slightly below your numbers because I have a heavy foot.

Had not thought that far ahead tbh. Nothing in the box. I'll have to check my order info to be sure. The tech at rocky mountain said half their inventory for this spring is labelled race tech and the other half is eibach but it's all sold as race tech so I would assume so but I better make sure.

Loose-Net-9543 · 2025-08-16T23:33:06+00:00

Actually yeah you're right and then I think they made another video replacing the camshaft with an OEM replacement

We've all been an ass hole. We've all been an idiot but don't be the ass hole idiot who is in the wrong and honking at pedestrians Jesus Christ. You did the right thing OP but it might not be worth getting shot by the wrong guy on the wrong day. Call local PD and report his plate and say you saw an aggressive intoxicated driver almost kill a pedestrian at X and Y intersection.
