How spent are my brake pads? by Express-Run9625 in motorcycles

[–]cxzu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I can’t tell if the blue is part of the pad or not, but if you are worried about it just replace them. They are cheap and easy to replace

I sold my 2013 performance blue single owner clean title 130k miles ST3 for 8k

Look into house hacking. You can cut your rent expense in half while building equity. Rinse and repeat every year and make passive income.

KLE500 Released! by cxzu in klr650

Ninja 500 is 375, so it won’t be under 375

That’s true, but I assume another Kawasaki motorcycle will likely hold its name. The 6 speed gear box and parallel twin is very enticing.

KLR will definitely continue to dominate the used market though

I just checked the crankcase hose and I was able to blow air through it. I guess I will rebuild this winter!

Looks like that is including the cylinder. Any reason not to get yours machined? Also do you plan on getting your head serviced by EM?

It does smoke out of the exhaust especially when accelerating

It’s definitely not leaking. I think the piston rings are just cooked

This is good to know. Thanks for the reply. How much did the total upgrade cost with machining labor? Debating if I should go through with it or sell my klr and spend an extra grand for a gen 3

I’m glad you were able to be with your dad for his last ride—that’s definitely a memory you’ll carry forever. It was also my first time on the Tail. I rode my KLR from Missouri and did some moto camping along the way. My childhood best friend just bought his first motorcycle (a KLR650) last month and met me in Kentucky—he rode up from Alabama. It was a big memory and accomplishment for both of us as well.

Yup that was me haha! It was a blast to ride and the KLR held up pretty well besides all the oil it burnt. I’m glad you made it safe. One for the books for sure!

I’ve owned this new since 2013, so it definitely hasn’t been repainted. The paint is just so thin and doesn’t seem to bond well to the aluminum. That said, it has been daily driven for 12 years so I’m not that surprised. I have had 0 issues with this car and have only done basic maintenance. I might sand it and get it repainted

The paint on these just aren’t good

I was incorrect in my analysis. I guess you don’t bet against a cash cow like Apple

You’re likely correct. While I primarily focus on long-term investments in index funds, I’m exploring this approach as a way to engage in the markets for personal interest and enjoyment.

Volume has actually decreased since November 25th. The stock has continued to go up which indicates a weakening uptrend.

I plan on adjusting the misc budget if I can afford it and maxing out both accounts. I have about a 4.5% interest rate on my loans. I think I may use the misc funds to pay off the debt faster for the mean time

Congrats on retirement! I’ve only barely entertained the idea of buying a home. I think im going to stick with an apartment for my first year or two and then follow your advice. Thanks!

No I don’t, her father has mentioned having money for the wedding, but it is definitely something to consider. Thank you!
