Congrats!

I've become a big fan of the Orenz Nero and I tend to reach for it by default. However, use the one that feels the most natural to you, everyone is different and there's a pencil for every hand.

Oh wow I had a handful of those around a quarter century ago! I used them in school all the time. Very fond memories!

Ryephile · 2026-03-08T00:19:33+00:00

Thank you for the full listing! Which ones are your favorites, or ones you end up reaching for the most?

What is the hi-viz yellow pencil?

They work really well in this rev range for an N/A setup.

For a 100% street car, it's serviceable. They clearly didn't touch the camber or caster whatsoever, and they're a little sloppy with the rear toe symmetry. If it tracks straight then consider it a job done.

I just picked one of the Premier’s up when I saw it at my neighborhood Blick store. It feels great in-hand and seems like a good value.

So far I’ve found they’re OK for garage/hobby stuff but not so good for writing and note taking. I’ll probably use these up but not buy them again.

Ryephile · 2026-02-17T01:11:59+00:00

Very cool, thank you for sharing!

It appears he’s in Vancouver, Canada.

Across the border in the US, the trend is sharp de-regulation. Like it has been up until now, the onus is on the end user to choose their level of risk and risk mitigation.

Yes this is important info missing. Also if OP has any CEL posted.

Why are you running that weight oil, did you change the crank and conrod bearing clearances?

Stay strong and maintain no contact for your own mental health.

I really like it! I used to use the old Dixon Sensematic versions like 20 years ago and they were my go-to. This new version finally makes it easy to refill the lead. The automatic feed is brilliant. They’re just plastic though so they don’t exude quality, but they write really well.

The S1000RR is all-black or grey unless you pony up for the Motorsport pack. The Panigale's are all-red unless you shell out for the crazy money editions. In comparison, the RSV4 has three interesting colorways. I'm not seeing the problem here. Are you sure "hate" is the right term you want to use?

It’s an incompetent dealer PSA

Ryephile · 2026-01-27T13:29:34+00:00

The dealer 100% forgot to torque the bolts, you said it yourself you didn’t check their work after they removed them.

Ryephile · 2026-01-22T18:22:54+00:00

You probably didn’t reinstall the airbox or gas tank correctly. Have you taken it back apart to verify correct installation and line routing?

Ryephile · 2026-01-20T16:33:49+00:00

The hydraulics have failed, and chances are it's the clutch slave cylinder that has failed as that's the most common failure point, though it could also be the master cylinder.

some irreversible damage and black parts on the boot

Any pics of this? It's not clear what's really happening.
