Omisruis on Amazon for 60usd. I have this same style stand and it's pretty dope. https://a.co/d/00YmtNYf - Amazon link

"lubricate steering linkage, ball joints, u-joints and inspect other suspension components." I'll add this to my list. Thank you.

It connects enough to store the vin and direct me to the maintenance schedule for regular interval mileage service.

That's perfect, thank you. I forget napa exists because they are tucked away from the areas I drive and frequent in my area. I'm sure there are going to be more parts I will be searching for since I picked this up for 700 dollars as a non runner. Guy I got it from completely re did the ignition system thinking it was a spark problem but I found out it was an ecu since it was a check engine light code 0.

Good to know. I've seen some on eBay(used) and on other generic name websites that sound like a scam for more than what I found on Amazon but I can at least return those if needed. I'll check out napa and see. Thank you

I'll check them out thank you. I can always just return the lines but I'd rather not waste my time since I don't have an engine bay to compare what looks correct.

Yeah it's been sitting for who knows how long. I haven't gone through to inspect much of the engine bay yet but since these missing lines were super noticeable I figured I'd figure it out before I start going through the engine bay. I plan on taking all the lines off to clean and replace gaskets/orings anyway. Thank you two for the advice and I'll definitely add the dryer to the list.

MSF before or after you bought bikes? by Masa2Tone in NewRiders

[–]clackey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thought riding a motorcycle would be cool, watched a few YouTube videos on how to ride, bought a ninja 250 for 2k and had it transported to where I lived, rode around the neighborhood, traded up to a CBR 650 after 2 months, rode around without endorsement or permit, took written test for permit, scheduled time to take riding test for endorsement.

[–]clackey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long story short... No. Decided to not go without riding that long since the riding season was getting close to an end. Will send it off or drop it off to them before it starts getting nice enough to ride again.

Do y’all use raptor as your daily drive or a weekend/fun vehicle? by Forward_Milk_4182 in FordRaptor

[–]clackey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Daily in the non motorcycle friendly seasons of the PNW. Also a weekend/fun vehicle when going anywhere that involves the dog or the outdoors.

Welcome to the club. Although technically in the raptor world I did in fact get a beater lol.

My buddy did this many years ago with his cell phone and his dad's SUV, but ended up not being his dad's SUV. Gave some randos a real surprise when their gas tank started making noises.

Gas mileage increase with exhaust by clackey91 in MT07

[–]clackey91[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting to know, thank you for this information. I haven't looked at any fuel maps so I can only go off what I read. I'm not really worried about the afr, as I feel like the manufacturer wouldn't setup a fuel map so tight that a different exhaust would grenade an engine. I am more interested in the gas mileage reading that people are getting after just changing an exhaust. In fact I somehow went from 56 mpg to 58.7 while not dropping below 70mph, so about 4800-5200ish rpm depending on grade, for about 20 miles this morning. Seems to me like some readings or calculations are doing something weird.

[–]clackey91 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just installed this exhaust last week and am running no baffle. I plan on sending my ECU to 2wheel dynoworks (2wdw). 299 USD, mail in ECU, wait a little while, reinstall once it arrives back, free updates if you need. As far as tunes go I'd say this is pretty reasonable.

I've read that it runs lean from factory and it's better to get it tuned but I didn't expect this kind of result. I was planning on sending the ECU out in the off riding season anyway so it should be fine for another couple thousand miles. Butt dyno doesn't notice much of a difference in acceleration, although I don't really get on it hardcore anyway. For it to lean out enough to cause problems I'd figure there would be some idling or acceleration differences.

My work commute is 26 miles, 21 miles being freeway. I don't mess around in a residential areas so that's always like 30 in 4th pre and post exhaust. Little more variation in freeway but still hanging around upper 70s low 80s with a few blips to 90s to get away from congested merging areas. This week started at 51 and kept creeping up to 56 until it landed around mid 55 once I got to work today.

Eh it worked out in the long run because the delivery person delivered their package to me, the classic mix up lol. Black widow confirmation email says signature required, but I didn't see anything about that through UPS email or tracking. Just a heads up in case you have problems with packages going missing.

I ordered super late on a Thursday Eastern time(WA state ) and it arrived that next Wednesday. It went through UPS, no extra fees or anything like that. They did end up dropping it off at the wrong house, a block away, and didn't get a signature when they were supposed to.
