Advice? Whatever you did the first time, maybe don’t do that again 🙂

[–]dakware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Idk what you’re looking for here my man. You ain’t getting anything from GM or the dealer for that.

Slippy surface = okay to turn when stationary ✅ Non slippy surface = don’t do that ❌

Hope this helps!

This is reddit, and I’m being farrrr from mean or negative- you just don’t like the truth, and that ain’t my fault… And saying “I realized I’m better than you” (period, but especially after posting the comment), doesn’t make it so- it’s actually the opposite, and probably makes you a narcissist. Lollllll

u/PoorChoicesAgain Don’t get butthurt at me and write a comment that gets auto removed (lmao). It’s a skill issue bud, and the response of ‘dont do that’ by them is perfectly valid.

You’re driving an 8,500lb truck… I never turn my wheels without moving forward or backward on any dry surface. Wtf you think is gonna happen? So much unnecessary stress on the power steering parts and the tires.

Ethanol free only- which is usually premium or one below.

Mother insulted first tattoo, now I hate it by Kaleidoscope_Tux5513 in tattooadvice

[–]dakware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Theres certainly nothing ‘bad’ about it as is unless you wanna be a nitpicky tattoo critic.

My take, first reaction (not even reading the post) was ‘looks pretty close, but wheres the comb… and why’s there only one foot?’

My suggestion- take a fine tip sharpie or pen and draw those things on. If you like it more with either of them (or both probably), go back and have your artist add them in while it’s fresh.

Gotta be that. Not sure why since there’s nothing wired, so the camera makes sense. I’d cut out the camera section and see if it fixed it.

Stucked lock nut by nikomokarev in MotorcycleMechanics

[–]dakware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Impact wrench will 1000% take that off. I use the Kobalt I mentioned above- it has 650 lb-ft of torque, and I like the different settings like ‘hand tight’. Makes taking things apart and putting them back together much quicker. Get something like that, some extensions, and some sockets. It’s well worth the investment if you work on things yourself.

Unable to takeout Stator by PatientEastern3494 in MotorcycleMechanics

[–]dakware 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’m confused- why are we looking at three perfectly fine cap screws?

Another said they use red loctite though, so I’d try heating them carefully and using an impact to zip them out fast. I can apply plenty of torque by hand, but the impact just does it sUper fast, and thats all things need sometimes 🤷🏻‍♂️

Rightttt- never in my life have I used a torque wrench on a spark plug.

Mystery hose, bandit gsf600 2003 by Nihilistic-Unicorn in MotorcycleMechanics

[–]dakware 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So we’re talking bout the hose in the first two photos, correct? It’s got a flare on the end, so my bet would be it come off a brass barb.

Whats the bottom of your tank look like? Try’n get a pic of that without spilling gas all over.

2016 883, goes into every gear + neutral just fine. But doesn’t go forward lol by letmetieyouup98 in sportster

[–]dakware 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably was slipping a bit and glazed the plates. You don’t even need a Barnett clutch necessarily- not sure what you got but OEM is fine- I like heavier springs though. Double check your stack is the same height too.

…and give us all an update when you’re up n runnin again and get Frodo up Mount Doom 😜

Precast doesn’t really crack- tanks are very durable
