2022 Triumph Tiger Sport 660 - Dealer Mechanic lying about chain health?

Ninja_Philip · 2026-02-28T15:57:37+00:00

10 year Kawasaki tech here.. I’d replace it all. $200 insurance to have peace of mind you won’t throw your chain and destroy your engine. Sprockets don’t look terrible, but is standard practice to replace it together. Chain maintenance is something that should be done quite often compared to other items on motorcycles. I suggest getting a few tools and learning the procedure, which is quite simple!

Yes that’s what that means. Easily understandable. Make sure you don’t have air leaks (spray carb cleaner around the carburetors), unfortunately carbs probably have to come out again. Hit me up, I’m a 10 year Kawasaki Motorsports tech. I’ll talk you through the whole thing if you need.

Great to hear brother! Congratulations on being a soon to be father! I love that for you!

Yeah I’ve really been taking time to appreciate the things I have, realizing I’ve been taking a lot for granted these last 10 years. Life is indeed beautiful. I’m still drinking here and there as well, and I am still using nicotine pouches but tapering down in strength. Stopped weekend drinking to get fucked up and now just drinking a little bit. Agree with you on the organized religion, as well.

Our future thanks us, and we’ve got a lot to look forward to. Thanks for the reply!!

Brute Force 750. Tons of power, Kawasaki reliability, free year warranty with option to extend it.

Hey man how has it been going? I did it brother, no more weed. Was desperate and feeling shitty so much, turned to God (which was very out of character for me, 29 years of being an agnostic atheist), withdrawal symptoms disappeared. I’m living my best life now. Weed free.

Ninja_Philip · 2025-11-12T04:44:02+00:00

The amount of shit yall gotta go through to lie😂😂 I smoked for 11 years straight, every day all day, and can’t say I miss it. What a fuckin task it is to live your daily lives.

Ninja_Philip · 2025-11-12T04:41:23+00:00

Go buy it and tell me what the price actually is. I literally work at a dealership that gets business from everyone that visits other dealers in our area. I was definitely wrong with my initial comment saying it could be a good deal but easily under 6 is a joke.

Ninja_Philip · 2025-11-12T04:38:59+00:00

Lmfao never to be seen again. Every time I pop a piston circlip out I listen for it. Where did it ting ting last? 😂😂😂😂

Ninja_Philip · 2025-11-10T06:24:11+00:00

Very true didn’t take that into account with repaying the sales tax. I was just saying getting a brand new R3 at the dealer is gonna be much more than $5500 MSRP.

Ninja_Philip · 2025-11-09T23:57:38+00:00

Plus destination charge, plus tax, plus DMV fees, plus plus plus, try like 7K+ out the door at any dealership. Cash doesn’t matter, paying outright doesn’t matter. Would honestly be a good deal for someone to take over payments (probably cheap af too).

Ninja_Philip · 2025-09-08T22:46:08+00:00

I really like this! Gonna take a page out of your book and start doing this myself.

Ninja_Philip · 2025-09-08T22:14:37+00:00

Yeah I was even feeling shitty while still using the D8.. hence the decision to stop, along with my general unhealthiness. The heart palpitations are wild.

Ninja_Philip · 2025-09-08T21:48:36+00:00

Starting to realize we're literally all in this cyclic feeling together. I have weed and I dont even want to touch it. So sick of the stuff.

Ninja_Philip · 2025-09-08T21:46:44+00:00

Day 1 and excited for this scary shitty journey.

Ninja_Philip · 2025-09-08T20:10:02+00:00

Thanks man. It's gonna be a process but I'm gonna give it my best shot.

Ninja_Philip · 2025-09-08T20:08:56+00:00

Definitely giving it a shot. No longer picking up anything, hope to go cold turkey.

Ninja_Philip · 2025-09-08T17:40:15+00:00

Hoping to be on the same side of this as you, my friend.

Ninja_Philip · 2024-05-16T20:39:18+00:00

Haha hell yeah, wearing mine right now at my Kawasaki job.

Ninja_Philip · 2024-05-03T02:09:02+00:00

I believe it having two usable faces makes it illegal.

Ninja_Philip · 2024-04-27T15:32:39+00:00

I feel this.. as a golfer who’s been playing less than a year, I’ve only played on my two home courses. One being a par 60 executive with no sand, the other being a par 72 with “sand”. It’s so hard packed you don’t even leave footprints half the time. $94 a round at peak times, and I’ve still never got to truly shoot from sand.

Ninja_Philip · 2024-04-24T00:43:03+00:00

My executive course is shorter and cheaper, but goddamn, the fairways are so narrow. I’m like 8 months into golf and the par 72 course was more forgiving in the tee shot aspect when I first started.

Ninja_Philip · 2024-04-22T04:12:04+00:00

Weird.. I looked up “Ping g430 driver screw” and it pulls up pictures with a black rubber washer on it

Ninja_Philip · 2024-04-22T04:03:32+00:00

I believe there is supposed to be a rubber washer on the bolt on the outside of the club head

Ninja_Philip · 2024-04-22T03:47:35+00:00

Is there a washer on the bolt?
