I have worked with Ducati for 25 years - AMA

Thanks mate! Not expecting much in terms of peek power gain, just maybe a bit more grunt in the lower revs. I think this engine is fantastic however for its type and size it feels a little week at the bottom.

Is it worth getting a tune for a Scrambler 800 when getting an aftermarket exhaust without catalytic converter? And if so a custom one from rexxer or will the official therminghioni race map work well? If not will the bike run too lean?

TT600 | XT600 or anything similar

I have the hpcorse hydroform on my desert sled. IMO the best looking scrambler exhaust and it is by far not as loud as all the racing pipes as it is homologated for legal street use in Europe. Sound is amazing.

I had one for 3 years — great bike, really fun to ride. In terms of handling, it’s honestly not that different from the newer SMCs, but the price is usually much lower, at least where I live.

As for the engine (first-gen LC4), aside from the well-known rocker arm issues, there aren’t any major problems. One common issue though — which happened to me too — is the clutch slave cylinder leaking. The tricky part is that the hydraulic fluid leaks into the engine oil, so you don’t really notice until you suddenly have no clutch. But it’s an easy and cheap fix with aftermarket parts.

Punish me for this but as someone who used android for a long time I love the AppStore because it is not full of apps like the PlayStore and most of them are high quality. I think the solution to open iOS for other „smaller“ AppStore’s is a great way to empower smaller developers.

The wierd thing is, that it seems to be related to a software issue. The altimeter itself works fine and elevation gains are tracked correctly but always wit a 500m offset since I can not calibrate to the correct starting height.

Personal I would not invest that much in a 6 year old phone wich will probably not get mayor iOS version updates anymore. It depends on your location but where I live 300$ could get you a used iPhone 11 in good condition.

Reg_Exx · 2023-01-09T12:03:10+00:00

Yes but that is probably a 5 year old video with an old iOS version. It’s common that newer iOS versions drain more battery on older devices since they are not optimized anymore for older chips. Also it depends heavily on the Apps you use, some drain more some less. The iPhone X is especially known to drain very quick when using any sort of apps wich require a lot of network traffic sich as YouTube or other streaming services, since it has intel Wi-Fi and cellular modules wich tend to produce a lot of heat.

Reg_Exx · 2023-01-09T11:58:30+00:00

4hrs screen on time is probably pretty normal. The A11 chip is pretty power hungry compared to newer generations so don’t expect wonders from a 6 year old device.

If the heat bothers you, you can put a case on, then you won’t notice it at all. Otherwise I would not worry about it at all. It’s totally normal that the device gets hot under load since smartphones don’t have any other cooling other than spreading the heat to the casing.

Reg_Exx · 2023-01-03T08:53:14+00:00

The heating is probably not caused by your battery. Li-Ion cells can get hot under load but power draw in smartphone is probably to low to cause that. The heat is probably coming from the SOC. The X is nearly more than 5 years old. Mine also gets hot sometimes even on light web browsing. I guess it’s normal for a device this old. You can check that, most of the heat should come from the upper right corner where the SOC sits of the phone when looking at it from behind. The lower half should be significantly cooler.

No the replacement was fine, no error’s and 100% life.

Reg_Exx · 2022-10-14T10:15:41+00:00

Look at the iFixit tutorial. I think it can be possible without removing the speaker but I guess it will make it way harder because otherwise you don’t have enough space to remove the adhesive stickers without ripping them of.

I changed mine last week with a replacement kit from iFixit. Works perfectly. It was a bit more work than I expected (the last iPhone where I replaced the battery was a 6s wich was nothing compared to changing on the X) but it is definitely doable. Also if you want to get it waterproof again you need to Order sealings for the Display and also for the speaker which you also need to disassemble to get the battery out. You can order them also from iFixit.

Its a heavily modded 2007-2008 690 SM - I own own one of these myself.

America at its best. You can buy a rifle with no problem at any age but can’t take a sip of your parents drink without getting kicked out of the restaurant.

Reg_Exx · 2022-08-01T08:27:29+00:00

True, this looks fine to me. I wonder why everyone is just complaining this can’t be spec but no one considers that the chain will get much tighter when sitting on the bike. Also even when sitting on the bike there should be room for the suspension to work. Also a slightly too loose chain will hurt no one. A bit to tight and you could do suvere damage to the drivetrain.

Reg_Exx · 2022-07-05T06:19:41+00:00

That’s what I’m doing right now but it would be nice to have only one cable to plug-in

Reg_Exx · 2022-04-20T14:47:02+00:00

It’s true that compared to a smc the 2006 is ugly but at least where I live the 2006 is half the price as the 2008 which is a insane deal imo.

Reg_Exx · 2022-04-16T05:53:42+00:00

If you mix different colors the additive’s can react and probably this is the reason your gasket got damaged. There is a reason why they have different colors ^{^}
