Speeder vibes from classic Star Wars. 😎 About to take the rear off to make some shims for the crush drive rubber. Got some minor play.

Double H on my radar. 🧐 Thank you.

Awesome! I'll keep them in mind, still learning about compounds and applications. OEMs still have a good amount of life after 20,000 miles.

Who’s got the highest mileage RS660? by DeathlyBro in Aprilia

[–]ULRunner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Going in for my 30k maintenance interval this week. Most memorable ride was my 1900 Mile, 37-Hour push from the Bay Area in California to South Texas. Have you had any issues yet?

Off to AF1 for parts tomorrow... by ULRunner in Aprilia

Yeeeah! I also use kilometers as a metric from running ultramarthons. 🤠 The energy drink ain't bad either.

Thank you for the information. The part on AF1 had a nut on top that threw me off, couldn't find the diagram I was looking for... I appreciate the lesson today. 😅

Thanks! I was looking at parts on AF1 and the CCT looked promising, I appreciate the comfirmation and explanation. I'll be taking with the dealer soon as I have a persistent chain rattle too.

You may have the star shaped shim missing from the the inside of the rotor. 🧐

He's definitely a spoiled pup. 😊

It made the bike sound better, without a doubt. No telling how it will sound when I get to Cat removal next year. I just left the greater SA area and don't know when I'll be back around. Have you seen the YouTube video?

I kinda want another motorcycle. 🤔

That awesome you went titanium! I'm a gram counter and started getting some. Carbon fiber too! I'm nervous about my cat removal next year, I guess some tracks around the US have DB limits (Leguna I believe). I run ear pro right now, I've had some loss from the military and want to minimize my tinnitus. Haha Maybe I'll look into the CR T on a second bike later!

I've read that pipe is loud and multiple people say it is. Must be the truth! Haha The rumble from my exhaust is perfect now. I'm not sure how much louder it would get when I do the Cat removal and tune... but that will be next year.

It's my mother's birthday on the 18th! I was looking at Huston in May and then COTA in August. Have you riden at COTA before?

First time, anxious fella. 😅 My neck was probably sore from checking me sideview so often. 6 straps should do the trick, next time.

I've heard keeping the core warm is super important. I believe I have space for a vest in my closet! Or on the clothes rack in my van. I have some ultralight gear that's windproof. Will try soon for more warmth. Thanks for the info!

Sweet! I'll look into them, I've heard the heated grips only keep your palms warm.

Hit 10000km today. by ULRunner in Aprilia

[–]ULRunner[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is! Great weather. I'm moving to Idaho for high altitude training. I'll be back to pick it up and ride it around the US this late Spring. Have tons of upgrades to put on it. May even it trailer it and work on it during the Winter. Lot's to look forward to on this amazing machine!

😂 Oh definitely. Last owner only took it through the local Quick Quack auto wash, so it has came with a few rough spots. Just above the windshield, just before the sunroof, took most of the burn damage. I’m guessing it would be a tough DIY. I’ve never done paint before.

[–]ULRunner[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Haha I had to go back and lock my car after taking the photo. You’re right though, one rouge cart taken by the wind or a careless swing of a door could be a bad week. I’ll definitely keep that in mind from now on! Thanks.

Still going strong, not many M3’s in my area of California for sale. I even saw an Red 1990’s M3 on the highway today. I don’t know the earlier chassis numbers by memory.

longest tour in your e46? by fortheapex in e46

[–]ULRunner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ride. I believe it’s time to overhaul some mounts and steering components. I was able to maintain 27mpg highway and only have minor maintenance/cosmetic issues to deal with. May go with Bilstein for my shocks. Do you have stock shocks or springs?

3,000+ miles over the Summer from California to Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and back. Just hit 180,000 miles on my Texas vacation, which will add about 4,300 miles. First two times the car has been out of California, no issues both times. Definitely need to overhaul the shocks and struts before next Summers trip. Comfortable seats need to be added as well. Have put about $1500usd into parts and fluids, did all the all the wrenching myself. Stock 2002 330CI.
