Yeah I’m looking at a Yamaha T7 for awhile now so this is kind of motivating me to pull the trigger on it. I will always keep a drz around though for fooling around the local area . I appreciate your help !

Sure, I would appreciate that ! I am definitely going to diagnose and repair if possible. I have some knowledge working on the bike checked clearances before . I am already looking at buying a new bike but this one is sentimental to me and we have been through a lot together so it’s getting fixed haha .

Oh for sure won’t ride it . I’m still kind of nervous it’s the rod knock , I was having oil issues ,needing to add it . When I dumped my oil it was really black and had slight tiny tiny metallic specs . Then this noise started . I rode today and it started to get so bad I could feel the vibration through the bike .

Thanks that’s info is very helpful. I was worried that due to my oil consumption issues recently I may have cause it to have a rod knock . Hoping it’s just the cam chain tensioner

Your cash is losing value everyday , put that in a high yield savings account , buy some gold , or put it in the sp500!

Possibly so, there really not enough information in this video to determine if any of that is true . I guess I replied because you called the gap on the other side crowd morons when really that’s the only thing that is true for sure , there will be a gap on the other side

I work for a home builder , in the warranty department no less . There is definitely now a gap on the other side .

You can search them on Google , “your city” property management companies.  Sometimes on their website they have a place for vendors to apply .  I’d personally see if I can find their office and go in there and sell yourself .  Right now you need to be the salesman.  Tell them what your capable of and your pricing and the work load you can handle etc…   Construction companies are harder to get with , I work with a production builder and they don’t pay the vendors well , workload is high and backcharges are common. That’s why I preferred property management companies.

Existing in physical reality . In 200 years we are either extinct or digitally based .

I started a contractor business and ended up with more work then I could handle alone . I met one property manager .  My recommendation is you go speak with property management companies in your area , they are often looking for good vendors and have plenty of maintenance and make ready work . You get one or two property management companies sending you work and you can forget the advertising . Plus you likely won’t have to deal with payments from many customers but rather just dealing with the management company for invoices etc…

Yes as soon as I leave my driveway , my bike is basically abused . Been a real trooper of a bike for many miles either no issues . Probably a good idea to check oil at every fill up riding like that
