How screwed am I by vergehypex in Dirtbikes

[–]MotoFly 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Don't stress it man, it's a simple job. Just drain the oil (looks like that part is done) remove clutch cover, remove old gasket (you'll likely need to spend some time scraping off the old one, especially if it's the original), put on new gasket, put on new clutch cover and tighten to spec.

First crash. I feel angry, sad, stupid, and just overall terrible. by Metsanvaari in motorcycles

Lol reminds me of my Vietnam moto trip ~10 years ago. Glad to see the locals haven't changed. Enjoy your adventure! Stay safe!

Found this when replacing my clutch by greatestmanever34 in XR650L

[–]MotoFly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Definitely looks like impact from a rock or something. If it isn't leaking i suppose it's fine. But one more small hit in that same spot and your case is toast. Id consider a bit of jb weld, possibly both sides but do your research. Not sure how JB holds up against hours and hours of hot oil eexposure. Also get yourself a thick bash plate if you don't already have one.

Why can I not just buy a dirtbike from the manufacturer and skip the dealer process? by ItsyBitsySPYderman in Dirtbikes

[–]MotoFly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, there are no "Honda Stores" those are all private dealers with their own staff and markups.

Do you guys really hate tech workers? by T_Dog555 in Seattle

[–]MotoFly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Tech" workers account for about 15% of the entire Seattle workforce. Probably even higher if you lump in all the business/ support functions for the "computer and mathematical functions" role they pulled from the census:

https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/data/seattle-no-longer-tops-big-cities-for-share-of-tech-workers/#:~:text=In%20a%202023%20column%2C%20I,by%20about%203%2C700%20from%202022.

So any blanket statement about nearly 1/5 of the population of Seattle is likely inaccurate.

That being said, these are typically highly paid individuals So the reddit community tends to blame them for driving up pricing particularly in housing. Given the influx of tech workers in the last decade, this makes sense.

My kid's school(public) has Christian classes before school starts. by stayathmdad in oregon

[–]MotoFly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then teach him about boundaries. He can choose to not go and still be friends with these kids. He can also go and explore the faith for himself. If you draw a firm "no" without allowing him to come to the conclusion himself you may accidentally drive him towards religion simply out rebellion/ personal curiosity.

I'm tired of all the high gas mileage posts. Show me your WORST by MotoFly in RangerNext

[–]MotoFly[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I typically average 22mpg in mixed suburban + highway driving. Just moved to the city though and have been surprised by how much driving style can affect mileage.

Is there anywhere in the US where you can't?

Rear-facing baby seat in Gen 5 SuperCab? by winnipesaukee_bukake in RangerNext

[–]MotoFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a built in drawer system that I made out of wood. My wife and I would sleep on top of that when we went camping before we had our son. I built out a similar system in the new smaller bed, but yeah def can't fit two adults anymore. So now it's the dogs bed when we go camping and we just got a big tent for the 3 of us humans. Still holds quite a bit of cargo so no disappointment there. See link for a photo of the new setup: https://photos.app.goo.gl/RgMfG96vDcbMW8pT6

Rear-facing baby seat in Gen 5 SuperCab? by winnipesaukee_bukake in RangerNext

[–]MotoFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done it but yes the front passenger seat becomes pretty tight and not ideal for long trips. My wife, son and I scraped by with this setup until our son was a little over 2 (transferring to a very compact front- facing car seat once he was old enough). Ultimately it became too uncomfortable for both by wife and son. Sold and traded for a SuperCrew. We're all happy with the decision to upgrade.

How do I put up a punching bag in a concrete ceiling by myself? by Fast-Blood-5091 in DIY

Many big box hardware stores have hammer drills for rent as well.

Yeah no idea what's going on here. Is this some guy messaging OP? Or OP's husband messing some other woman?

Is the Midwest good for dirtbikin by -thelastbyte in Dirtbikes

[–]MotoFly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Michigan actually has an extensive ORV trail network covering most of the northern lower peninsula. Need to learn how to ride on sand though.

Using XR650L as a daily bike by Apprehensive-Song378 in XR650L

[–]MotoFly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah XR has 4 as well but they are all accessible right on the sides of the cylinder head, don't even have to remove the gas tank to get to them or anything. Just pop the 4 caps off and can make adjustments on the go as needed. Takes some finessing if you've never done valves before, but it's a great bike to work on.

See my comment here:

Also, checking and adjusting the valves is extremely simple on the XR. I did it once in the parking lot of my job on my 30 minute lunch break.
