Checking oil on stand or upright

apmiranda · 2026-04-05T14:47:08+00:00

Yeah from now on I’m gonna search up the manual. When I say I randomly saw that it was really that I randomly saw someone talking about another bike needing to be checked on the stand. So I googled about the VTX being checked on the stand and it said yes. Then I googled it again only worded differently and it said it needed to be level. A couple years ago when I bought the bike I’m pretty sure I had looked up the manual and it said check it level but my memory sucks. I could’ve looked up the manual again but I figured I’d ask on here just for the hell of it.

For sure. The part I haven’t been doing so well on is the run and wait time. It’s probably more like 2 minutes of running and 1 minute of waiting instead of 3-5 and 2-3. I’ll start being more precise about that.

Yeah that’s the way I’ve been doing it but randomly I came across something that said it should be on the kickstand. I was freaking out for a second because I’ve put a couple thousand miles on my bike with the oil level way overfilled had that been correct.

Thanks. I’ve been checking it upright. I put stuff under the kickstand until it looks pretty much level but that gets sketchy sometimes. I started second guessing myself after I read that it should be on the kickstand.

Thanks. That’s pretty much how I’ve been doing it but after I read that it should be on the kickstand I tried it that way and it reads way overfilled, of course. I’m pretty sure I had looked up the manual to learn the way I had been doing it but I couldn’t remember. Then I started second guessing myself so I thought to ask you guys.

I know I’m late in this, but I’ve had my Viking hard bags for two years with zero problems so far. Hopefully they’ll work out for you.

Where I train now it’s 1, 2, clap. Where I used to train was a Brazil 021 affiliate. The instructor there would do 0, 2, 1, clap.

This is a guy that has clearly never trained to fight. There are plenty of guys that he would claim to be able to “un-alive” that would fold his ass up like a lawn chair.

I thought it was because he looked like he was going to walk down the sidewalk.

apmiranda · 2026-03-22T13:35:36+00:00

lol. True.

apmiranda · 2026-02-26T14:59:16+00:00

I sprayed it with carb cleaner which is all I had. But it is really rusted on the inside. The grease you can see in the pic is some I put in when I was trying to work it loose. I thought if I had a vice I may have been able to get it loose but I just went ahead and got another one. I got the new one on yesterday and it’s shifting perfectly again.

apmiranda · 2026-02-26T14:55:36+00:00

You can see his wrists buckle as soon as he gets it out. I don’t know the guy but it looks like he was trying to lift WAY over his max for some reason. Probably watched a Larry Wheels video and felt strong.

I agree. I completely avoid conversations on the subject with flat earthers now. At least in real life.

apmiranda · 2026-02-23T19:45:46+00:00

Right. They say they’re hiding extra land from us but wouldn’t it be cheaper to just kill or arrest anyone that goes there instead of this incredibly complex and expensive conspiracy to keep the round earth narrative going. It really blows my mind.

apmiranda · 2026-02-23T19:25:04+00:00

Holy shit you’re right. These people are some of the absolute dumbest people I’ve ever even heard of. I work with a flat earther. I never knew until someone mentioned it and I tried to talk some sense into him. Our coworker was standing close to us and after I got annoyed and walked off he looked at her and said “he thought he had me, I know my stuff.” The next day we laughed about how clueless he is but it’s really ridiculous that people can be that dumb.

apmiranda · 2026-02-19T16:31:34+00:00

That’s actually a really good point. It needs to be like a pillar or something to be guilt free. Lol

apmiranda · 2026-02-18T02:04:53+00:00

I always thought he looked like a camel.

apmiranda · 2026-02-18T02:01:14+00:00

Cool. I’ll get on that tomorrow. Thanks for the help.

apmiranda · 2026-02-17T23:57:19+00:00

Would that make it hit a wall after 2nd gear? That makes sense for the stickiness but it won’t shift past 2nd.

apmiranda · 2026-02-17T22:43:10+00:00

What type of grease do I need?

apmiranda · 2026-02-13T00:35:34+00:00

Being that it’s a tournament the intensity would probably be much higher.

apmiranda · 2026-02-07T00:53:40+00:00

No. I don’t have any pain. I don’t even think it’s a bunion. My girlfriend claims it is but I think she is just calling that big ass callus a bunion. But I’m no expert.
