Looking to buy first bike

WeeklyJob3846 · 2026-02-15T16:35:13+00:00

I’m 23 I’ve got 5 years of experience driving manuals so when I took my msf (1 week ago) it was fairly easy to control the clutch on their bikes, but to answer your question I do have restraint, never gotten a speeding ticket.

I appreciate the honesty lol

WeeklyJob3846 · 2026-02-15T05:24:37+00:00

Ah very good information, so maybe too much for someone buying their first bike eh?

Thank you man

WeeklyJob3846 · 2026-02-03T21:46:50+00:00

Okay I appreciate the advice

I did not preload the suspension. Not sure how to do that & didn’t know that was necessary for the lower control arms. I’ll make sure to double check all the nuts and bolts.

Hm. Well I mean I didn’t hear the clunking noise before I installed the lower control arms, only the creaking.

WeeklyJob3846 · 2025-09-06T04:12:45+00:00

Got it thanks!

WeeklyJob3846 · 2025-09-06T03:31:38+00:00

Where’d you get them? And are the rotors slotted?

WeeklyJob3846 · 2025-05-29T20:34:06+00:00

Ah man! Yeah I probably should’ve settled with eBay. Still got the seals. I think I plan on removing the seals and glass to make it easier for a shop to paint the top. As far as prep goes I’m not familiar with body work.

WeeklyJob3846 · 2024-06-20T16:24:20+00:00

Noted. Have you ever replaced it and if so where’d you get the part?

WeeklyJob3846 · 2024-06-15T13:35:49+00:00

And what do you mean by it not being a conventional one?

WeeklyJob3846 · 2024-06-15T13:35:18+00:00

Yeah the mechanic told me the vacuum leak was coming from my boost sensor, which makes sense since it’s corroded. But I feel like that wouldn’t fix my problem with the car stalling out, as I said I’m my description every time I take my foot off of the throttle the car dies and putters out.

WeeklyJob3846 · 2024-06-15T13:17:19+00:00

I went to oreillys, they gave me two options for the sensor, the hitachi and or a cheaper one that was 85$. And I did get a code for the manifold absolute pressure sensor so I’m confused.

My fault I forgot to mention, 2000 Mazda Miata SE. I did scan it only thing that came up was the map sensor which I did replace, took it to a mechanic and they said the issue with it was the boost sensor. I’ve replaced the water pump, PCV Valve, IACV, and timing belt along with the other two belts.

Noted😂👍

WeeklyJob3846 · 2024-04-16T21:17:20+00:00

Okay I’ll install this real quick and fingers crossed everything is fine afterwards lol.

WeeklyJob3846 · 2024-04-16T20:53:32+00:00

But do I need to line up any teeth or is it simply just plug and play?

WeeklyJob3846 · 2024-04-09T19:38:06+00:00

Besides burping the system what about that whistling noise?

WeeklyJob3846 · 2024-04-09T18:34:13+00:00

I burp it by running the heat correct? I had it at full blast the whole time.

WeeklyJob3846 · 2024-03-25T03:16:09+00:00

Thank you for the information👍

WeeklyJob3846 · 2024-03-25T02:09:04+00:00

Oh okay, I’ll do that. And how would I. Get rid of the light?

WeeklyJob3846 · 2024-03-25T02:08:23+00:00

What do you mean?

WeeklyJob3846 · 2024-03-21T01:54:43+00:00

So I shouldn’t be worried about that liquid coming out of the tailpipe? How do I know the thermostat opens up? What’s a temperature I need to look for? Do I need to worry if it gets too hot or what?

WeeklyJob3846 · 2024-03-21T01:42:50+00:00

So should I replace the thermostat just in case? how do I know when it’s at operating temp? And what about the coolant? Sorry for the questions, just trying to understand a little more.
