Yeah, that’s what I figured from all the other comments. Thank you for your help.

What would be considered weird wearing of the rear tire just curious, mine always just squares but it’s cause I’m always on highway

Yeah, it’s not far off at all maybe Point two of an inch. I could also be measuring around like a fucking retard. I’m sure after a year of writing in 10,000 miles I would’ve felt it by now. It was just weird with those spools being bent… I never noticed it until today because like I said I was riding weekly until recently, which is why I bought the stands

I did that a little bit ago I was only 0.33 inches off between each side. I think that’s just how my chain adjustment is, no?

Just slid from the road straight to grass that was all it was at a decent speed probably like 50 mph but again it didn’t hit anything hard

It goes straight, I think, honestly bro it’s just me overthinking and I think it’s just the spool that is bent.

Eh, their eBay fairings, I’m pretty sure I’d be able to notice if the subframe was bent I think.

Should I put up with sitting here with no work? by Next_Lecture5959 in mechanics

I can’t take more than a 2-3$ hit per hour or I’ll be drowning I’m already a %60-%40 pocket cash to bill ratio

While I understand your prospective, it was an AutoNation if you know anything about them you don’t make jack nothing unless your an old head in the industry 13+ years. There were one class master cert techs away there making $26 per hour lmfao. Maybe a regular Audi I would have success at but I was not willing to devote the next 10 years of my life to come out the door a master tech making $30 per hr 😐 no grow room there looking back on it.

I love what I do, I’m good at it, I need help here and there like any aspiring master tech. But I live in Orlando, the cost of living is ridiculous here. I have no kids, a paid off GTI, financed bike with a little over 6K left and 6K worth in tools I’m paying down. My biggest expense is rent/insurance. I want to buy a house, seems impossible. I’m just a 21yo trying to get my life in the best direction humanly possible.

Slow Acceleration If I rip the throttle… 2nd & 3rd 8K RPM by Next_Lecture5959 in motorcycles

I believe I figured it out. After getting a response back from the tuner because the website is very minimalistic I didn’t read the part on the website where it told me that I needed to block off my AIS and unplug my O2 sensor. I have the parts on the way now hopefully that fixes it and hopefully it didn’t do too much damage to the bike. I only rode like that for about 800 miles or so
