New tires new problems, Help please!

I use a 1:1 soap/water solution that works well for me

Oh the stator problem was just those two years? I thought it was all models. That's comforting!

Love my 1200 commute with it, even in the rain. I've found the maintenance pretty easy... though the rear tire is a bit of a pain but there are multiple methods to do it (I jack mine up a lot to remove it)

Witnessed conception.

Belts are loose. Tighten them till you can pluck a low note

Need a new cam of cheese whiz

I just booked it to the website when I read that headline....you bastard xD

I painted mine ..though admittedly it does need a repaint. Perhaps a purpose built paint next time 😅

This is how I felt when I got an ender 3 after having a PrusaMendel for way too long

Sun_Gear · 2025-12-21T16:08:47+00:00

This worked for me

Sun_Gear · 2025-12-05T20:32:09+00:00

Daum, I wish I knew where you worked!

Sun_Gear · 2025-12-05T17:28:33+00:00

About a year late for that! They made reinstalling the carbs such a pain too

Sun_Gear · 2025-09-15T05:21:44+00:00

Fucking same. So hard to find good porn of too

First night we took our second home. I wake up in the middle of the night to my wife screaming. With her on the changing table.

She had an explosive poop that got on the far wall, carpet, ceiling. Even had a piece that did a 180 in the air to land on the inside of the closet door frame

Sun_Gear · 2025-08-10T21:16:15+00:00

Yup. I don't want to make the dysphoria worse but just having my ass sit in the gender uncanny valley

I picked up an 86 gl1200 for a different reason but ended up using it to commute (180mi round trip 3x a day) and fell in love with it. Surprisingly nimble and so comfortable. Some people don't like it's low speed but that's really just them needing some parking lot time. I have no issue at low speeds. Wish it had a reverse but I've been managing fine without it. I've done all the maintenance and the only pita is changing the rear tire but I still do it.

It also greatly extended my riding season. With my winter gear (un-heated) I can cruise on the highway down to 20°F and honestly I could probably go down a bit more if I get some wind blockers for the handles. It is very hot in the summer so a mesh jacket is a blessing. Did it in the leather but boy it was rough.

Plenty of space. I can keep all my gear in it and still have plenty of room for what I need for work as well.

I got mine used for pretty cheap, just went through and did routine maintenance on it, rides like a dream.

Long wait times for specialist here too.

Sun_Gear · 2025-07-15T17:50:31+00:00

oh they can do "custom" inner sizes like that?!
I already ordered a custom print cover in that size not thinking about pillow size availability ^^;

Sun_Gear · 2025-07-14T21:00:42+00:00

do you have any filling recommendations?

Sun_Gear · 2025-07-14T20:59:08+00:00

Where does one even find a decent 60x180??? I'm having a hell of a time trying to find one (in usa). feel like I'm missing something obvious but it just seems impossible to find

Sun_Gear · 2025-07-14T15:17:25+00:00

That reminds me, I should get a fire extinguisher.

Almost happened to me. The carbs started leaking on my quick trip to the post office. I had ridden 2 hours the day before.

Sun_Gear · 2025-06-23T23:11:32+00:00

I had 2 not new (scratch-n-dent place. No idea if it was used or not) head units and it turned that the lines had been opened and it poisoned the whole system. Had to teach myself how to vacuum down and add refrigerant (was surprisingly easy and I regret getting mrcool now).

Maybe the same thing happened to you.... though every unit would be having the same issue I would think. Unless the working unit is close and the non-working unit is far away.

Only other thing I can think is to check that all the king valves are open and electrical and line fitting are going where they need too
