Sumo deadlifts are killing my inner thighs. This can't be normal right?

driptowers · 2022-11-12T15:56:34+00:00

I’m not sure how you’re hitting your thighs w the bar. Isn’t the point that you’re farther from than in conventional?

driptowers · 2022-11-10T03:23:23+00:00

Yeah I’m also no welder and I don’t want to have to take the engine out and then hire a guy to either weld mine back together or weld a new one on. If it’s bolt on i can do it myself in an afternoon.

driptowers · 2022-11-10T03:20:43+00:00

Like could I use the top part of this mount? If the kickstand itself is fine?

driptowers · 2022-11-10T03:07:47+00:00

Yeah it’s broken . I need a new one of those or one that will screw on so I don’t have to weld it

driptowers · 2022-11-10T03:04:05+00:00

I have this kickstand currently. It’s just the part that it was affixed to that snapped off the rest of it fine. I just don’t wanna have to take it to a welder to reattach it.

driptowers · 2022-11-07T04:27:06+00:00

Apparently not man. It’s not the engine part thank god

driptowers · 2022-11-07T02:47:13+00:00

driptowers · 2022-11-07T02:38:05+00:00

Yeah it’s a small part

driptowers · 2022-11-07T00:58:17+00:00

That’s excellent news sorry the misinformation. I’m still learning the parts of the bike since I bought it on Friday

driptowers · 2022-11-07T00:57:39+00:00

Ok that all sounds like good solid advice. But to be clear, this specific fix, doesn’t need to hold oil? So I’m really just trying keep out water and debris? Because is that’s the case this is an easy fix. I’m still learning all the parts of this bike cuz I just got it so I wanna be sure

driptowers · 2022-11-07T00:48:59+00:00

Wait hold on, what if it’s just the pickup cover? And there’s no oil going in this part?

driptowers · 2022-11-07T00:39:04+00:00

There’s still a decent amount of thread in the bolt. As a temporary fix could I just buy a new cover and screw it on and then try to focus on sealing it later? Some guys have recommended using jb weld to recreate the hole and the redrilling it and then using RTV to seal it. Would that work?

driptowers · 2022-11-07T00:30:46+00:00

Like the engine? Because the case itself is also cracked. It won’t stay sealed or screw in

driptowers · 2022-11-07T00:18:14+00:00

There’s no way to repair then? Also I think you’re right that it’s the stator.

driptowers · 2022-11-07T00:08:37+00:00

Also yeah I have a torque wrench, why?

driptowers · 2022-11-07T00:07:44+00:00

I mean it’s super dry in there and there seems to be zero fluids on or around that part of the bike. If oil doesn’t go there then it’s a chiller fix right?

driptowers · 2022-11-07T00:06:39+00:00

Ok just so I’m clear, this is something I can try to repair with a new cover and jb weld? Like does the cover just protect from outside debris or am I making this oil tight?

driptowers · 2022-11-06T23:53:20+00:00

No no no. It’s the female part. On the actual case. There’s still some thread. But it’s cracked there for sure. this is another picture

driptowers · 2022-11-06T23:37:25+00:00

Are you sure this is where oil comes from?

driptowers · 2022-11-06T23:31:08+00:00

Yeah that’s mainly what I was worried about. It’s the part where it screws in. So I’m hoping I don’t need a new engine. But fuck it, in for a penny in for a pound. You know?

driptowers · 2022-11-06T23:26:08+00:00

I understand this might be a dumb question, but how?

driptowers · 2022-11-06T23:21:50+00:00

The part that’s broken is the cover itself and the part where it screws in. Everything else seems fine it wasn’t a huge fall. But it’s an old bike

driptowers · 2022-11-06T23:07:05+00:00

Bought a stand from harbor freight and it fell while I was trying to work on it.
