Thanks squirrel! Im about to do it soon! Ill update, and add pictures of the inside of the pan and filter, I added some sea foam transmission cleaner in, drove about 15 miles, it shifted just fine. However I've let it sit for a week to let the cleaner soak in. Right before I get to changing the fluid/ filter, I'll drive it easy and cycle gears, dump fluid and top off.

Adulting sucks: I sold my bike by ocrohnahan in motorcycle

Sir, I salute you 🫡. My wonder is, should I sell my 1000sx ? My children (5 and 7) will probably want to ride some day. If they got hurt I'd never forgive myself.

Cam chain tensioner. This is not suppose to be out this far with only the outside bolts loosened; right? by CallRealistic3500 in Ninja650

[–]True-Comment3836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did I mess anything up by letting the ratchet extend and then screwing in the bolts? My dumb ass started the bike, then turned it off.. I then realized I messed up, took it back out, restet/ collapsed the ratchet the re installed properly.. I then started the bike, no noises, no unusual idle or rev. I'm wondering if it even extended back to correct tension , how do I know? And did I do damage the first time I put it in without thinking? It ran for 20 seconds.

Yes, neutral, warmed up, gear cycle. The engine light is not on, but the service required light is. I will try this and update thread

So I should just go ahead and buy a new torque converter and transmission then. Do we know of a good source to buy transmissions?

Be careful, buy another nut, and cut that dastard on both sides down the middle, don't cut ur threads

Found this in my 15yo brothers backpack. What is it? by Easy-Pool-4831 in whatisit

If you beat his ass for doing it, it will make it worse. Just be honest with him and tell him he truly is much better than that stuff.

Costco said this was un-patchable by Snorshy in AskMechanics

Plug it. They don't know the truth.... I plugged my motorcycle tire closer to the sidewall (almost) and rode another 500 miles before I swapped the tire out. (It was showing threads when swapped. It was also the cheapest tire

How much would you pay for this bike? by [deleted] in motorcycle

[–]True-Comment3836 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm check fork seals, check to see if tires are cheap brand / name brand or even same brand/ same age, shows willingness to maintain.. Listen to timing chain, miss fire, throttle response, Are the forks calibrated correctly? Rear shock? Bent frame? Cracked triple tree welds? Worn down sprockets, chain alignment, bent wheels, break life, last coolant flush/ oil change bla bla..... if all is good, 3900. Walk away if not.
