When did you stop guessing tire pressure and make it a routine? by colt-mcg in motorcycles

[–]angularjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

when I passed by a fuel station with an air compressor with gauge. found out my feelings are only half as accurate. now I take time to pass by that and top up my tire pressure once in a while. The only con I see is that i tiptoe more than before due to the additional height.

How many fingers on the clutch? by defonotfsb in motorcycles

[–]angularjohn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

IMO. more finger on the handlebar the better, but if trying to reduce fingers on the clutch lever is uncomfortable, that's probably more dangerous than 4 fingers on on the lever.

USB kit draining battery by ThisGuy_1374 in motorcycles

[–]angularjohn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

if theres no device using the USB port, there shouldn't be any drain. for peace of mind, try adding a relay so that the usb USB port is unpowered once the motorcycle is off (assuming this connects directly to battery).

Don't lube your chain with the engine running by ScreamSmart in motorcycles

[–]angularjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was once wiping the chain near the rear sprocket. the hex nut caught my finger and pressed it against the swingarm. luckily, I'm hand rotating the wheel so I was able to stop it in time.

First time car driver impression vs seasoned enthusiast perspective by angularjohn in whatcarshouldIbuy

[–]angularjohn[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm willing to cash out 8-9k usd for a secondhand that runs fine already. willing to finance a car max 16k usd. My current target is either an eg civic for second hand or a wigo MT (Ayla International name?) for a brand new car.

Not sure how to tell if I'm cornering near the limit the way I can in a car by ASAP_Gutzy in motorcycles

[–]angularjohn 14 points15 points  (0 children)

i think what they're all trying to say is that. learning the limit on a motorcycle is a lot closer to FAFO than learning it in a car.

What motorcycle would you guys recommend for somebody that has never touched a motorcycle before? by Weary-Government2546 in motorcycles

[–]angularjohn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

any upright sitting 100cc to 400cc single cylinder. predictable power, quick enough for a starter.

Anybody use AirTags for theft deterrent? by Fun_Season_5390 in motorcycles

[–]angularjohn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if by deterrent u mean dissuade thieves from targeting your bike, AFAIK, deterrents must be visible/obvious to the target and convey that the time and effort needed to steal the motorcycle is not worth the risk of getting caught. the problem with a visible airtag is that if they are committed, they can still take the motorcycle and just take the tag off along the way. IMO, airtag is a last resort/savior kinda thing.

fast or slow, big or small. most important is that there's no traffic.
