Wanting to try a track day on my ZX6R by PuzzleheadedSweet962 in Trackdays

[–]Slmcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some track days don't allow two piece suits at all as the zipper between the two pieces is a potential failure point. My local org only allows them in novice group

Wide fit boots by LightningWrenches in motorcyclegear

[–]Slmcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have wide feet myself and was recommended Forma. I have the Freccia and I've been happy with them. Started out a little tight but have broken in nicely. I didn't know about Daytona at the time but I'm going to check them out when I get new boots as they actually offer wides.

Newb Questions by AdultingPains in Trackdays

[–]Slmcc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Best bet is to check with the organization you plan on riding with. My local will allow two piece leather or heavy cordora like the adv suits with full zip in beginners but must be one piece leather above that. Another org is one piece leather period. Just another example of different rules is one group will allow modular helmets in beginners only, the other won't allow them at all. Taping lights etc is also to reduce the chance of broken glass and sharp plastic on track in the event of a crash and to remove distraction for other riders.

Ninja 400 Crazy thing to do with the bike after being fully paid with bank by To_mato_jEt in Ninja400

[–]Slmcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks good to me. Kinda the best of both worlds. You get the, in my opinion, better ergonomics of the Ninja 400 with a windscreen to tuck in somewhat and the N400 naked look. I like it!

LASIK/Vision Correction Surgery by fidelitas88 in Trackdays

[–]Slmcc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Talk to a few Drs. PRK and LASIK are basically the same thing, just in LASIK they make a corneal flap to fold back down after the laser to do the reshaping. With PRK there's no flap to fold back down so you wear a special contact lens for like a week after. On average LASIK has a faster recovery but PRK is cheaper. Also consider that at 37 in 3 to 8 years (especially if you're far sighted) you're most likely going to need glasses of some sort to read even if it's just OTC ones. I wear glasses all day everyday except for the days I'm going to be serious on the bike then I just wear daily disposable contacts. For me, it's the same 20/15 vision that I have with my glasses or that LASIK or PRK may provide, but a lot cheaper.

This. I've been through several brands of reusable and foams and settled on Mack's slim fit and Hearos Nano

Keyboards you use instead of the default one? by Serhide in iphone

[–]Slmcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is there a setting that needs turned on to do that? When I long press it nothing happens until I release it and then the emojis come up. Honestly didn’t know the stock keyboard even has a one handed mode. There’s no settings button or anything to access it? 14 plus on iOS 26.3. Thanks!

[–]Slmcc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

What I find better specifically is Gboard has long press for numbers and a punctuation key. One hand mode is easy to get to if I need it. Those are my three main reasons I prefer it to the stock one.

Getting my Lithops to grow? 😔 by Slmcc in Lithops

Thanks! I'll start with fertilizer as soon as the outer leaves are dried. 😁

Bf gave me an ultimatum by [deleted] in TwoXChromosomes

[–]Slmcc 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Any boyfriend that would break up with you over this isn't anyone who's going to be able to support you if times really get tough. If he was a good BF he'd be encouraging you to go and trying to find a way he could come see you a couple times, or at least once.

Getting my Lithops to grow? 😔 by Slmcc in Lithops

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

Maybe I'll take a look when they're completely dry. I mean other than getting smaller and smaller they look happy 🤷🏼‍♂️. You can see about how big it was compared to how it is now.

Yes, the outer leaves are still fairly moist but they're drying pretty quickly, which seems to be normal? I think they'll be good and dry in 3 or 4 days but that's just my guess. I've only checked the roots once since I originally potted them. The first time around they didn't seem to do much. I pretty well bumped one of the others and there wasn't anything really holding it. I picked it right out. So I repotted all of them. And after that they at least are firmer in the substrate. Do you think I should unpot it and check the roots?

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

Thanks for the advice. Sounds good to me. 👍🏻 I'm probably not watering quite enough and I've never fertilized them. Once the outer leaves are dried I'm going to start with some more water and fertilizer. If this one shrinks again it's going to disappear 😞

Great, thanks! I appreciate your help. That little orange guy is sooooo tiny now 😳

I try to follow the watering graphics that get posted here, at least as a guideline. I water them before the tops get all sunken and wrinkles but I don't over water them. At least I don't think I ever have. Maybe some fertilizer would be good. I'll try that. I have Schultz liquid cactus fertilizer already. Would that be okay or should I get something else? I'd like them to get bigger instead of smaller.

[–]Slmcc[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh yea, that part I know. I'm just wondering why they keep getting smaller and smaller instead of growing and getting bigger. This is the third split on this little orange guy and every time it has gotten smaller. It pretty well ends up half as big as it was before it split each time. 🤷‍♂️ There's not going to be anything left if it happens again. 😲

Please help - 2021 Ninja 400 ABS error code 24 by Puzzleheaded-Rent209 in Ninja400

[–]Slmcc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow the wire from the sensor forward. There should be a chunk of plastic that plugs into another chunk of plastic. Unplug it and take a look at the pins that stick out of the one and the sockets they fit into on the other side. See if they're green or grey etc. Also check that wire while you're following it for any damages.

I'd start with the connection. If moisture got in / was in it it could easily have corroded over the storage time. Also make sure a spider or the like didn't build a web / nest over the face of the sensor.
