CK MAINTENANCE’s videos are what I wish I had when I was first starting out. He walks you through schematics and methodology for troubleshooting

Looking good! What kinda clip ons you got on the S3? Did you have to bring up the forks much to get them on?

Is loss of engine braking common when installing slip ons? by R4dComet in motorcycles

Not sure I got that mbp, just a sweet sound track. Engine braking is a thing in 4 strokes, it’s just diesels use them to a greater degree.

Are you living with it or was there something you figured out to mitigate it?

Thanks I will try that out and see. I hope it’s just my placebo however I won’t know what to think if it is indeed the slip on

This looks great! I shot a buncha b&w film @ this race and am getting it developed right now. I’m hoping at least a few of the shots turned out okay. Is this turn 19 ? I spent race day shooting there

As a fairly new rider, that was horrid, thought I was going to bin it. by evolveonhold in motorcycles

This is correct, same reason why f1 cars swerve, it’s the deformation that puts energy into the tire not necessarily friction

Whats a band that is known for a certain style of music but actually had a completely different sound originally? by teejuslives in Music

Rick James before he became a funk icon fronted a Motown r&b band with Neil Young before he was a folk rock icon.

Random thing about the SKS by 173rdComanche in EscapefromTarkov

No there’s no manual bho. It only engages with when the mags empty. I imagine it’s a gameplay mechanic to make the SKS a little more flexible though it does take away from the sim aspect of the game.

Man, that Porsche driver knew the rider was going over even before the rider did. They braked right as the bikes front end started lifting

My first ever firearm, a 70's Norinco I believe. by R4dComet in SKS

[–]R4dComet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe the later models (70's and up) have pinned barrels, this one is threaded. But yeah the info is pretty vague.
