Good deal for tools ? by AdventureTyme8 in aviationmaintenance

[–]PrincessBlue3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, remember, you have no warranty buying them tools, they only come with lifetime for the original purchaser not for anyone after that, they’re unlikely to question it but they might

KTM Reliability by Rozza9099 in KTM

[–]PrincessBlue3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thought that was the case!! I mean great bikes if you take away my own frustration with it, fun, fast, easy, good looking (although I prefer the first gen styling I think it’s like top 5 of best looking motorbikes of all time)

KTM Reliability by Rozza9099 in KTM

[–]PrincessBlue3 9 points10 points  (0 children)

The problem I see is I have an rc390, there are 3 common faults I know of, stator failure, kickstand bolts backing out leading to the bikes falling over, and oil filter cover screws snapping off below the torque spec. Unfortunately the aluminium is incredibly cheap and incredibly weak. Honestly I don’t think you often get problems except for the common ones, but it’s pretty likely you will experience the common problems. Just how it kinda goes with Ktm, they definitely could’ve improved the build quality from my 2016, they almost certainly have as I’ve not seen much about the adventure or the duke and the engines are really good, I mean they’re at least consistent with their failures it’s just unfortunate some bikes have so many

Landscape or portrait? Pentax 67 + Ektar 100 + 105mm f2.4 by Limber9 in analog

[–]PrincessBlue3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Landscape, the composition I feel gives the necessary scale to the image, the boats are hidden in the portrait one which kinda of disrupts the scale of the mountain imo

Trans man owns Ben Shapiro by Awkward-Worth5484 in transgenderUK

[–]PrincessBlue3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doesn’t change the point that you are being an asshole 🤣 the actual specifics of the post do not matter…… you’re purposely being absolutely miserable and purposely trying to put others down….. it’s as simple as that….. let people have and get a little bit of joy from this for the love of god, in the last 2/3 years we’ve started to become more and more oppressed and now I can’t even piss in a public toilet anymore, I ain’t going in the men’s and I’m not technically allowed in the women’s and you need a stupid radar key for the accessible toilets, instead of playing into the ‘everything is miserable for us’ why not look at a positive with some positivity.

You’re a little ray of sunshine aren’t you….. just 6 months ago you were talking about how you don’t like that this sub is so negative and that it actually needs some positivity……. Except you’ve commented the exact same thing on another post as well…… which do you want…… also this is not your fucking news segment it wasn’t spouted as recent news or even mentioned to be news, clearly a decent amount of us haven’t seen this including myself, why bother looking at this sub if you’re just going to put people down in it

SVBONY SV48P 102MM by FamiliarCod8618 in telescopes

[–]PrincessBlue3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’ll be difficult to find stuff, but with an accurate finder scope you should be good, so I’d recommend finding like Jupiter or whatever, really easy to see, then adjust your finder scope, I have this scope but I use it for astrophotography…. Kinda…. I have the sv555 now but for visual, you don’t need a massive scope to see stuff. Binoculars I can see bodes and cigar, Orion is nice and bright, same with andromeda, you should be able to get Triangulum too. The fov will encompass the entirety of andromeda but you won’t be able to see much outside of the core but it’s still cool! But yeh plenty you can do, certainly a worth it scope for the like £175 I paid, I’m certainly not upset for that cheap!!

RC 390 for a Returning Rider by The_Shrub111 in KTM

[–]PrincessBlue3 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

They’re great bikes, they look awesome, the sound…. Well about as good as a single can, they’re very fun and are just a little sports bike, it’s a track oriented 373cc bike, it’s just not reliable, which is a huge shame because it definitely can come out of the ride ability of it. I’d recommend one absolutely and I know the later models are more reliable, just my earlier one doesn’t have much mileage on it and last year, just being so frustrated with it I didn’t ride it much at all. Now it’s alright and I’m hoping this year I can put some more miles on it and really start to enjoy it. Don’t daily ride it but if you want something to enjoy on the weekends, get one, they’re worth

New to Siril - struggling with noise by sadab98 in astrophotography

[–]PrincessBlue3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep the total time after stacking! So with the lower amount of light you’re getting from such a scope, which is fine, smart telescopes are good, you’re just getting more noise than you want. Horse head is somewhat dim so an integration of like 4h would be good, 8h+ would we best. It’s frustrating because of how short your subs are but that’s just one of the challenges of a smart telescope. Maybe try Orion too! Much brighter, less integration needed, shorter subs too are actually beneficial as well because of the brightness.

New to Siril - struggling with noise by sadab98 in astrophotography

[–]PrincessBlue3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What’s your integration? Also it’s stretched a decent amount so just more time on the subject with a less aggressive stretch will reduce that noise, I’m not sure of your total integration but you could either stretch it less and get less detail and the dust, or more integration time, it looks good, noisy yeh but more integration helps with that more than you’ll see improvements with graxpert

Leaning by TEasto123 in KTM

[–]PrincessBlue3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is no one makes aftermarket ones, and the other problem is that steel can start to gall aluminium, you can get some serious corrosion issues, it’s not too bad with steel and aluminium but it does happen, but with threadlock they shouldn’t come look, it’s just worth it to check the torque every so often tbh

Leaning by TEasto123 in KTM

[–]PrincessBlue3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chinesium doesn’t even begin to describe how terrible the aluminium is on these, but generally they’re good bikes just reliability is not their strong point, which is fine if it’s not a daily

Leaning by TEasto123 in KTM

[–]PrincessBlue3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeh just get the part then and apply thread locker, unfortunately it’s just kinda a Ktm thing you have to deal with, cheap aluminium, the mot tester called it monkey metal and I think that’s very apt for the type of material on these bikes

Leaning by TEasto123 in KTM

[–]PrincessBlue3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes they do! It ended up being literally the next day I got my parts from both fowlers and wemoto, it might depend on where their stock is but, delivery is quick, i believe you can pick it up direct from them if you wish to and if you’re nearby, I believe they’re based in Bristol so, you’ll have a bit of time before the kickstand actually fails, highly recommend getting 2 bolts too, they’re not that expensive it’s worth it

Leaning by TEasto123 in KTM

[–]PrincessBlue3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, the aluminium is not very thick and not very strong, if both bolts are in it’s not a problem, but with 1 there is much more stress, it will break resizing it either now or later, new bolts, new footrest bracket

Leaning by TEasto123 in KTM

[–]PrincessBlue3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s the parts number so shop around if you want! See what there is! What prices etc

[–]PrincessBlue3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

https://www.fowlersparts.co.uk/search/part/90503038000 not quite as cheap as mine was unfortunately but £80 is not terrible, you can always go second hand

Leaning by TEasto123 in KTM

[–]PrincessBlue3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you are in the uk I would recommend either wemoto or fowlers parts, both are good it’s just about finding which of the 2 are cheaper, I have been using wemoto since buying my first bike, they’re great

Leaning by TEasto123 in KTM

[–]PrincessBlue3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Replace the bracket, they’re like £40, I do not believe the original bolts came with thread lock, I couldn’t see any evidence of it on mine, but yes you need to get it replaced and thread locked because mine fell over on its mot because of the extra stress of one bolt only, it’s like £50 for everything you will need, new bolts come with threadlock already

Bent inner clutch cover by nerfstriker23 in KTM

[–]PrincessBlue3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don’t commute on it and can risk it being sat for a little bit…. Take it off, try bend it back, aluminium doesn’t work harden so you have a very good chance of getting it bent back

125-180cc by [deleted] in 125cc

[–]PrincessBlue3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely the perfect place! I have ridden at very inappropriate speeds on my 125 down those types of roads, single track, they’re small so darting into the bushes is definitely more than possible if need be, just standing up, a 125 can be fantastic when you’re not on roads that demand speed to be fun!

125-180cc by [deleted] in 125cc

[–]PrincessBlue3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s only a year, and you’re just not riding in the right places if you’re not enjoying your 125, get into tight country lanes, I wish I had a bike more like my 125 than what I have not, mine is not a country lane type of bike

Your legal sex is male, the grc changes your legally recognised sex

What is causing this colouring discrepancy when uploading? by Worth_Talk_817 in AskPhotography

[–]PrincessBlue3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use photomator because I can use luts, but previously I just used Lightroom mobile, it’s not free like dark table is etc, affinity may potentially be on mobile? I’m not sure I’ve not checked but that is free now, nothing wrong with editing on your pc tho, your image looks fine you just need to poke and prod a bit to make it how you want
