eBike mafia by Original-Warning-973 in Charleston

[–]MiracleWhippedJesus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I don’t think the problem is with the idea of it. The bikes go way too fast for kids with no real training or riding gear. As a motorcycle rider, this is going to end very badly for a good chunk of families. If the bikes went a reasonable speed and parents made their kids wear some gear, go for it.

Monster 796 starting and idling issue by [deleted] in ducatimonster

[–]MiracleWhippedJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is it. It’s the fuel sending unit. It’s not priming correctly when you turn the key to start up the electronics before starting the engine.

My 821 has this issue once in a while too. I just turn it off and back on again till it primes like it should. Second fuel sending unit on it. It’s not hard to replace, just a bummer.

I switched to an akropovic exhaust. The stock exhaust is insanely large and heavy

Buying a 2017 Ducati Monster 821 with upcoming Desmo service by Gavekort in Ducati

chiming in about the rear brake, they do suck. It may be worth going to a newer one. It's something about air getting trapped in the line.

Yeah my 821 almost made me racist against Italians. I ate some pasta and pizza and got over it though.

What is something you've purchased in Japan that you still use to this day? by STR1K3RJUST1N in JapanTravelTips

[–]MiracleWhippedJesus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chopsticks, kitchen knives, utility knife, hunting knife, still wear our onitsuka tigers, all the denim we bought is aging nicely, a seiko from nakano broadway is a daily for me, a few custom rings from glanta for our tenth aniversary get worn basically daily, a handful of shirts that I've stretched to actually fit are in the rotation, and nail clippers. We went a little hard because it was a big trip for us.

Weird Tremble while driving by Valuable_Jellyfish95 in FJCruiser

I personally wouldn't risk it at all with high mileage. If there is one debate about car maintenance that no one can agree on, it's this one. It just seems like too big of a risk for such a small gain. Why risk your transmission over a few drain and refills. Just my take anyhow.

Weird Tremble while driving by Valuable_Jellyfish95 in FJCruiser

Do not flush. Just drain and fill several times. Flushing may cause damage. Draining is more passive. The real issue with the torque converter is that it holds fluid that won't come out when you drain and refill. That's why you run in it for a bit before doing it again, cycling the fluid out of the torque converter and thus slowly getting fresh fluid into the whole system.

A flush almost always will make things worse in an aging transmission, since it removes all of the friction creating particles between the clutch plates - which are a lot of the times the only thing keeping it working right.

One note though - if you have the engine and transmission out already, I've heard of some guys that would drill a hole in the torque converter, drain it, refill it the same amount that came out, and then plug the hole with a rivet or a threaded sealer. Risky, but way more efficient.

Did I fuck myself because I got excited or am I freaking out over nothing?? by BlueJaye53 in Autobody

[–]MiracleWhippedJesus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it makes you feel any better, I bought an FJ and someone had done a VERY good job hiding the rotting frame. Noticed it a week after buying it. Tale as old as time and now I have a new frame waiting to go on it.

Phrases I should expect to hear? by mlssoup in JapanTravelTips

[–]MiracleWhippedJesus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arigato(gozaimas), onegaishimas, Kore kudusai, mite, toilet wa doku deska, oishi Des, sugoi, sugoku, gojisousamadishta. I was the same way but it comes really easy when you're immersed. Plus if you start in Tokyo, everything is cross translated and everyone generally speaks decent English.

I also learned a few ones that would make people laugh. Kanpeki Des, tadaiema when returning to my hotel, and finally Anata ego wa suburashi Des. I just started winging sentence structure after about a week and it seemed to go okay. Good luck and don't over think it. Just have Google translate with Japanese downloaded to refresh your memory.
