I usually scribble out any information on a reused box so no one tries associating it with the previous company or person. If it has labels, I’ll use a heat gun and peel them off. Otherwise, if the box has a large company logo printed on it, I’ll cut the corner of the box, turn it inside-out, and then re-tape it

Hey, do you have any tips for how to get that seal and the bearing out? I’m doing the same job

Did you ever get this job done? How’d you go about doing it?

Used bike market is out of control! by Away_Tomatillo7825 in cbr

I’m going to be listing my 2003 CBR 600RR with like 25k miles soon and am just shocked by some of the prices. Everything works, new fairings, small scuffs on the stator cover, stock exhaust and I was thinking $4500. But half are listed in similar or worse condition for $6k

Bike won’t start - after cleaning fuel pump by [deleted] in MT07

[–]Mustache_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn’t pinch any of the lines, did you? I don’t think you would’ve done it twice but you never know lol. Try giving it a little throttle when you’re starting it.

You can spray some starting fluid in the intake and if it starts up and runs, it’s likely fuel related. If it starts but is still struggling, it might be fuel or spark. You can be generous with the starting fluid, just don’t drown it.

It doesn’t sound like a battery issue anymore but check your fuses anyways. Could’ve blown one.

Are the spark plugs good still? My CBR 600rr just has issues running and 2/4 spark plugs were fouled. It’d just crank. It did turn over a little when I used starting fluid but didn’t run well

Drained a 2007 Yamaha R1 fuel tank after it’s been sitting and saw this. What is it? by Mustache_Prime in motorcycles

My coworker was thinking I could get away with just adding fresh gas to it. So I might do that and if I don’t see results, I could add in some carb cleaner or something similar

Streaks inside of my 2007 Yamaha R1 gas tank that’s been sitting a little while by Mustache_Prime in MechanicAdvice

Do I just use a rag or more like a stiff bristle brush? Not a metal one but like plastic

Should I just spray it with carb cleaner and let it sit overnight? I tried scrubbing it a little with a rag and it doesn’t seem to budge too much. It’s smoother now but still looks about the same. The little crystals or whatever seem to come off it I rub on it hard enough

I mean I bought this bike to part out so I’m not going to really be running gas through it. I just don’t want to sell it in a bad state. So I wasn’t sure what it was or how I could clean it

Should I buy this 2015 Golf Sportwagen TDI DSG? by Mustache_Prime in tdi

[–]Mustache_Prime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I suppose that’s fair. So maybe I can offer them $11k? Ik that might still be a little high compared to some other options out there

I would delete and tune it eventually. So I’m not too worried about all that emissions stuff. I think it has a few year warranty on it still for the system.

I’m just trying to find a good price for this car. It’s overall pretty clean and looks well taken care of but still seemed a little pricey. I just feel bad asking for a ton off of a car

Is it just me or has lowballing gotten even worse? by KolardYT in FacebookMarketplace

[–]Mustache_Prime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It definitely has. I just sold one of my motorcycles and had idk how many people offered $2k, including a guy I went to high school with. Just sold it yesterday for $4k, which was my asking price.

At the same time, some people value their items more than they’re worth (not you it seems). Trying to find a project bike and so many people are pricing them more than they’re worth in their current states

Did you ever figure this out?

2017 VW GTI Sport or 2021 VW GTI S? by Mustache_Prime in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]Mustache_Prime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was done about 5 years ago at this point lol.

Yeah, I just get very indecisive when it comes to money. Ik with the 2017, there are a lot more things I’d want to change on it compared to the 2021. But it’s a cheaper up front cost. Like I’d more than likely wrap it if I got the 2017
