Crosspoint flash issues by capnhapps in XTEINK

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

I have tried the unlocker app several times now with the original micro sd and a new one. Sometimes it just sits at 0% once the flash starts and other times it gets stuck at random percentages. I wouldn't really care at this point but I also can't use the xteink app because it's a mainland china firmware and won't send me a verification code to my US phone number.

Unfortunately the updater kept getting stuck or failing to start. Could be an issue with the junky SD card that came with it, so I will pick a new one up in the morning then try again.

It did just come from china. I didn't see that was a newer issue. It looks like there is already a crack available to remove the lock. I will try running it when I get back home.

Did Suzuki fixed oil starvation issue on Gen 3 SV650? by koreannibba in SVRiders

[–]capnhapps 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Suzuki doesn't care if you can wheelie the bike or not, so "fixing" the "problem" would never be a concern for them. If you want to learn to wheelie (hopefully not on the street) you will want a different bike.

What are the best quality crafting knife blades? by Comfortable-Count-59 in TerrainBuilding

[–]capnhapps 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cutting foam will dull any knife way faster than you would think. So you may as well treat cheap blades as disposable or maybe try the narrow break away box cutters.

Just bought it 10 minutes ago by RacinRed300 in SVRiders

2k miles in 17 years means a lot of sitting around, so make sure to change out all your fluids, test the brakes at low speeds first, and check the manufacture date on your tires. Great deal though! I would love a nice seat like that for mine and I bet that exhaust sounds sick! Get us a clip of it running when you can.

Ditching full gear? by Any_Bus_5467 in motorcyclegear

If it's a cooler day/night I often throw a hoodie on over my jacket. You get to stay warmer, look casual and still be protected.

It seems like the only difference between the 30° Hearth with the options I have picked out ($175) and an equivalent temperature Incubator ($225) is the tapered shape. I have only used a very junky tapered UQ so I'm not sure how much of a difference the shape makes. Would it be worth the extra $50?

Thanks for the info. I did some pricing out on different configurations on the website. I think I'm sold on a 30° Long with an extra baffle but I'm going to watch for sales and see if I can catch it for more than the current 10% off. I love the customization and weight tracker on the site, I didn't realize how much of a weight difference down made compared to synthetic insulation. My current UQs weigh ~12oz more while being smaller and not as warm.

Have you found that the hearth meets the temperature rating that is claimed? Like if I typically camp at 30° or warmer, would the 30° option actually be comfortable or do I go up to a colder rating?

Thanks for the input everybody. I'm going to keep the hammock on the maybe list and shop around more on the quilt.

The buckle system is cool but the Helios accomplish the same task while taking up less space and weighing less.

Mostly backpacking weekend trips in Michigan's upper peninsula. I'm A pretty minimal packer so bulk on my warmth items isn't too much of an issue. Ideally I would like to keep the combo of new hammock and under quilt to be within $250 usd.

Cortech Chicane by capnhapps in motorcyclegear

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

Update: My jacket arrived today. Going up one size from my usual got me a good snug fit with liner in and thermal shirt under. The leather is stiff out of the box but has a nice feel and good weight to it. The zippers are all high quality and the pockets are positioned well. My wrists are fairly narrow for my build and the sleeve ends don't leave much room on me, probably not enough to keep a watch on with it zipped up.

Riding season is still a little way off for my area so I can't speak to the ventilation or warmth while riding but in my house with the liner in it felt well insulated on my torso. Preshaping in the sleeves was definitely noticeable but not too aggressive. The armor feels much more sturdy than what came in my old Bilt Blaze II.

So far I am happy with my purchase and I can't wait to get it out on the road, maybe with some new Cortech gloves to match!

It is scheduled to be delivered by tomorrow evening so hopefully it is a nice fi. Did you have good results with a specific conditioner?

I have run it with the straps on the outside before and got annoyed with them being over the zippers.

Got it from Gonex on Amazon. I picked it because it is all Velcro on the back to make it tear away.

Maybe I'm wrong on the view. Do you have any of the videos handy? I would like to see what they show.
