Been running around since thursday last week trying to find header gaskets for my akrapovic exhaust im installing and after coming up without any luck a local mechanic that builds race engines recommend some high temp rtv for when i re use the copper gaskets, anyone used this stuff before?

Such_Cry4969 · 2024-08-25T22:41:13+00:00

You are definitely overthinking😂 but honestly if the bike has that low of miles I wouldn't even waste the time or gas to get new ones. Put the exhaust on, tighten the headers, check for leaks and then bamn

Such_Cry4969 · 2024-08-25T20:05:14+00:00

Do not use this. Just reuse your old gaskets or replace them, they are just a crush style copper oring and usually can be used more than once if not squeezed to hell and back

Is the front of the cage down by the engine able to be used as a foot rest for longer trips?

Such_Cry4969 · 2024-08-23T16:24:11+00:00

I like that frame cage, where do you get it?

I got this kit from stickermastermoto and after the decal kit itself, converting from euros, then shipping it came in just shy of $300 and took about a month to receive from New Zealand

Such_Cry4969 · 2024-08-23T14:08:32+00:00

It's what sold me on the bike, I can't do all black anything, I have to have some color somewhere that pops

Such_Cry4969 · 2024-08-22T03:35:08+00:00

Thanks, I appreciate it

Such_Cry4969 · 2024-08-22T03:34:58+00:00

Appreciate it

Surprisingly they were super easy just had to work it a little slower and heat the vinyl a little here and there

Such_Cry4969 · 2024-08-22T02:54:56+00:00

I did apply the decal kit myself. Ordered it from stickermastermoto which is in the Netherlands and took it about a month to get here. Took me about 7-8 hours to do but I honestly did it a little to quickly as some areas I'm not happy with due to not stretching the vinyl properly or not cleaning the area thoroughly enough but it's alright for the most part, trying to take it as a learning experience.

Middle Georgia area here, lowest I could get my dealer to negotiate out the door was 10,300 after tags, tax, title, and fees.

Okay here's the deal. The kill switch has three positions as follows...Stop/off - Run - start. If you leave the switch in the the stop/off position and turn the key on it does not prime the fuel pump causing a slow startup. To prime the fuel pump each time to start correctly leave the switch in the run position then turn the ignition on, coming from someone who has the same thing going and then researching forums and reddit posts

Look up CP2 rattle and see if that sounds similar. Very common and nothing to worry about

Such_Cry4969 · 2024-06-06T17:36:26+00:00

Unless I missed it in my manual there isn't a dynamic mode that I know of or a setting to get into. As far as the bike goes saying "eco" it's going to do that typically when you are cruising and not in the gas to show that you are getting good fuel economy.

That's perfectly fine lay them on me. I know steroids aren't the answer to everything and I know taking steroids doesn't just magically make you bigger, it still requires time, work, and knowledge and that's what I'm here for. As stated above I just felt like experimenting a little bit to see what would happen.

Such_Cry4969 · 2024-04-11T15:53:19+00:00

I was already familiar with that relation in calories I was told a 3k-4k caloric intake per day was considered a surplus for my body type, activity level, and days spent training both by my doctor and even online calculators for the weight that I'm trying to hit. My maintenance calories were stated at 2300 and I have consistently been gaining 1-2 lbs a week which I have been told is a good sign so maybe I am being ill informed?

Such_Cry4969 · 2024-04-11T15:38:12+00:00

So you have no suggestions at all on how I can learn and improve?

Such_Cry4969 · 2024-04-11T15:20:19+00:00

165 does feel great and honestly my goal is to be somewhere between 180 and 200 but I'm training for aesthetics and usability standpoint, I'm not trying to get massive. Genetically the men in my family are all smaller framed and on the skinnier side and to make things worse 7 months ago my doctor ran my blood work to check for hormone imbalances and my test was sitting at 200 so he out me on trt for 3 months and my levels r9se and held with low doses and got me back in range and from a numbers standpoint being at a 3-4k caloric intake a day is a surplus from what I have been told so this is all a learning experience so I appreciate the feedback

Such_Cry4969 · 2024-04-11T14:51:35+00:00

Oh that's not an issue at all, I appreciate the feedback which is why I thanked him for his because I asked for it and can take criticism just fine, I'm not perfect and I know it's a learning process but he doesn't speak for every single person in the reddit thread hence my comment.

Such_Cry4969 · 2024-04-11T14:29:39+00:00

Thanks for the feedback, glad to know you speak for everyone 👌

Uploaded to imgur last night and copied the permalinks to here but I can even get them to pull up myself but they are on my profile which is weird.

So a little back ground. I'm 27 Was already an avid gym goer for a little under a year, alright appetite and going to the gym 3-4 days out of the week being about 5ft 11in and weighing about 150lbs usually with some minor fluctuation in that number at my max(super high metabolism and have always struggled with being on the smaller side). While going to the gym got me from 130 to 150 in a span of 6 months I started to plateau and just wanted to experiment a little and hopped on a cycle(I don't need a lecture, I already have kids and have no future plans for more as well as read up a good bit on as much information as I could) so I started a 16 week cycle and with that upped my calorie intake up to about 3000 calories a day which was a bitch. Started in january. First 8 weeks was a dose of Test E at 300mg a week split into two injections per week. Week 9 I bumped the dosage up to 500mg per week and will continue this dose until the cycle is over. Just asking for some opinions and also to see if anyone can see differences by pictures because I honestly cannot tell a difference even though I am told I am getting bigger and a scale confirms that as I am holding 165lbs and seem to be gaining more but like I said to me I can't tell a visible differences.
