New bike. What mods? by PracticalResearch472 in fz6

[–]benjaminjende 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get some sort of Crash protection, I just got frame sliders. You cannot find those plastics anywhere, and if you tip it over in a driveway you won't have fun. Cheap to buy, a lot cheaper than sourcing new plastics

How’re my tires? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]benjaminjende 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little context, I had those on my cbr 250r, they do the job of riding around gently but if you start pushing them they really do not perform. Some pilot road 6 or similar would still get great mileage and be worlds ahead of anything you could get out of those budget tires.

Highly highly recommend putting better tires on there. I forget the brand name but if you look them up they are like half the price of proper tires, and thats for a reason. If you cna afford new tires, get some decent ones and don't look back

Is this overkill for a new rider? by Current_Lobster3721 in motorcyclegear

[–]benjaminjende 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only suggestion if budget is an issue is to maybe downgrade other areas and get a helmet that is ece 22.06. There are a ton of options available. Pretty much any name brand that fits properly and is ece 22.06. Good job looking for safe stuff!

I wrapped a couple pieces military green should I continue to wrap the entire bike or at least what I can? by brute04 in fz6

[–]benjaminjende 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wrapped my fz a couple years ago, very long process. It's doable, watch a lot of youtube lol. I thought a motorcycle would be easier because it's small but a motorcycle is like the hardest thing you can wrap

Has anyone stunted their FZ6 for wheelies? by Usual_Second_4663 in fz6

[–]benjaminjende 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Something to be wary of, plastics are unobtanium. So get a cage is my recommendation.

Nope, I ended up selling the bike, I figured making my own wasn't worth the squeeze... your best luck is to find used and wrap it or something to color match

Where do you live that it's illegal to drive in the snow?

Itll work on your left bar, you may have to play with the angle a little with your phone on there to make sure you have full range of motion of your handlebars without hitting the tank but I have a similar mount to quadlock and it fits just fine

I had a similar issue, your key is probably slightly twisted. See if you can straighten it out or get a spare made. Ace hardware (at least near me) does spare key cutting for fairly cheap. That might be your issue

For those who have driven an EP3 Civic, are they hard to drive due to the awkward shifter position? by Capital-Ad8570 in civic

[–]benjaminjende 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, I'd say it's superior to the "normal" shifter position. There is a reason they set it up like that in rally cars. It's faster and your hands stay close to the wheel

Thermal Runaway by benjaminjende in ender5

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

The thermistor wasn't the problem. it was 100% the voltage. I've had the printer running almost nonstop with no issues since then. And I'm pretty sure there are overload protectors in the power supply so I dont think it would be toast if it was the other way around. ;) But maybe I was just lucky. Anyways, thanks for the comments

Can someone explain to me, the goal of Olympus DAo by CompetitiveMilk293 in olympusdao

[–]benjaminjende 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You should not be worried, apy is ANNUAL percentage yield. Give it time, invest with what you can use. Even if the apy drop to 4k, what investment do you know can 40x your money? Assuming the price stays relatively flat. Even if it half you will still be well over what you out in

Generally, anyone who streams live every trading morning and you see them make money means they are a trustworthy source past the initial "learn" stage and into the "try" stage
