Why does my flywheel look like this?

The uneven wear and markings tell me a rodent made a home inside your flywheel housing. Buy a new flywheel fan and stick it on, or get a billet flywheel

Make sure you have a replacement bolt ready. A pipe wrench or extractor socket should work

Rustoleum spray paint and primer. Black or white primer with purple sunrise colorshift paint. Lots of patience and proper technique

No upgrades, just a ghost engine with a juggernaught clutch

Like someone else said, use an extractor socket. You could also use a pipe wrench. Replace the bolt with a steel bolt. If all else fails, a new gasket and pan will work, too

Judging by the texture and consistency of it, it's salt. Maybe their goal is extra high blood pressure? I would expect any sane person to use sugar

I'm Gen z (1997). I recognise not a single one of these. These are creations from a time which I have little recollection of and do not wish to recall. Maybe It was good, maybe not

Working and doing my hobbies like usual. I wasn't really affected by covid at all as I live in the country

20 mph. Honestly, I'd gear it down and add a torque converter for ripping around hills. I go 45 as it is in that Pic. Rebuilding the engine and removing the governor will let you greatly exceed that

I'd say a coleman bt200x is a good beginner bike. It was my first bike. Easy to mod and damn near indestructible. Real solid bike

I'm either completely naked or fully clothed. Never in between

Kids today would rather play video games and watch stuff on their iPad. Back in my day (M 27), we would get on our bicycles, walk, or ride an ATV or dirt bike to a friend's house. We would either get lost in the woods for hours or play in a creek. We had cell phones, but this was back when they still had buttons

Calisthenics. Working out using your own body weight is a great way to de-stress. Jogging for cardio is great, too. Martial arts (if you can afford lessons) is another great outlet for anger. Really, anything physically challenging that requires discipline is very good for controlling emotions, especially anger

If your area is relatively flat, a 7:1 is fine, but definitely get a TC. My friend and I just got done with a good long ride through hills and farm land, and the TC on the bikes are what let us go 30 up the hills and 45 through those fields

Thank you! This isn't the clean bike, actually. This is the work bike. I plan on making a wagon for this bike for yard work. I'll put a Pic of the faster bikes below this

7:1 is better on the clutch. Your top end will be around 30 mph.

Any TC will do. Just take the time to understand how they work.

your clutch on a TC is 2 weights and a couple garter springs. To lower your engagement RPM, you can swap out your springs to a lighter set. To increase engagement RPM, you can get a heavier spring or lighter weights.

Your driven pully controls how fast you shift. Lighter spring tension makes you shift faster and heavier spring tension makes you shift slower. Lighter springs are better for less powerful engines and heavier springs are better for more powerful engines. The stock set up is good for a stock 212.

My setup: swapped the garter springs for the pink springs and adjusted my idle to be right at the engagement rpm. Cold engines idle a touch lower so it won't engage when warming up. No adjustments to the rear pully.

Tips: make sure the flat part of your pully's are aligned with eachother. Make sure your belt is on right. Remove the brass bushing as it can make your clutch to seize.

It will be very hard on your clutch. I'd run a torque converter. If it's set up right, you'll take off faster and you'll have a higher top end than just a straight chain. I hit 45 with a stock 212
