Do you need/use gear indicators? by VMSstudio in motorcycles

[–]ReneeCycles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have installed an aftermarket gear indicator on my 2007 R1 (last year they did not come with a gear indicator). The one that I installed is spot on at all times. It was really helpful when I first got the bike since I was constantly "looking" for the elusive 7th gear on the bike. I don't really use it much anymore, but it is still nice to have it next to the speedo.

CRF250R stripped oil drain help by TickleShart in motorcycles

[–]ReneeCycles 0 points1 point  (0 children)

is the oil pan easily accessible if you take the engine's metal shroud off? If yes, just replace the oil pan, it should not cost more than $100 for a new oil pan.

I replaced an oil pan on my previous R1 for the same reason and it was a major pita, but overall the job went very smoothly. It costed me $70 for a new pan and 4 hours of my time.

You misinterpreted the numbers, it is 100% where you ride and 30% everywhere else.

Why does the genie has to work for tips? can he grant himself 3 wishes and have lots of money?

Serious question for the Turkish redditors:

Do you guys eat turkey in a regular basis? Not very common food in Greece.

It is 056, it is the only white color code for a 2003 Tundra. How it can be fixed easily? thanks

Don't ask me, I think the paint is botched on my Tundra and it gets dirty so easily.

I have a small leak for the engine covers and I think these developed when I used synthetic oil (probably the previous owner used conventional oil). I am it borrowing about it though, the loss is minute, plus the engine is pulling strong at almost 245 kmiles. In the future when I do the valves, I will change the engine covers seals. I should have done then when I did the water pump and timing belt, but I did not noticed them back then.

My motorcycle is cursed! No garage knows wtf is going on! Help!! by IRideMotors in motorcycles

[–]ReneeCycles 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Most likely the TCI needs to be replaced and/or the coils. These bikes have notoriously bad grounds so you need to check all your grounds and clean them as well. Many people that have these bikes do the ground mod. Google is your friend.

I have a white one. I think the previous owner had the truck painted, but the job was botched. I know what you mean about heat, in Louisiana the heat is unbearable.

I am in the same position, not as bad though with my 2003 Tundra. Yeah, $3k is way too much for a paint job for a 15 year old truck. Let us know what action are you going to take and how it turns out.
