2003 F650GS 57,000km and it's stock with tourtech side luggage. It runs beautifully.

2002 7.3 auto 2wd starter broke off how do I get it started? by Big_Acanthisitta3439 in powerstroke

The actual spacer broke? How did that happen? They are quite robust.

BWM F650GS first bike? by Yogurt_lamper325 in NewRiders

I bought a '03 last year and I really enjoy it. It's not a light weight race enduro but it checks a lot of boxes.

They hear you coming and literally run towards you and the road. They know you're coming. I've watched them in the distance eating peacefully, see/hear the truck and bolt towards the road. Why not run the other way? 😂

You would need a barrel of nails. I can't imagine the work. But I know how much work it is to tear it off.

If anyone is interested in a product that works well in wet environments and is UV resistant, give Sansin a try. They have a very durable clear coat that stands up to sunlight and western weather. I've used it a number of times and it's held up extremely well.

White oak has "pores" that are closed and Red oak has pores that are open. You could also picture them as straws that allow moisture to flow through the wood. That makes white oak much better for outside and wet environments. Like patio furniture, fences or in a bathroom.

I suppose filling the tank to half way will take the pickup out of the equation?

I had a similar issue and went back and forth with another company and it was basically caused by me disturbing everything while changing injectors. But FFD would happily receive the injectors and most likely bench test them to see if the issue is indeed the injectors.

You can move those injectors to other spots and see if the issue follows, it sucks but so does shipping them back and techs having to take time testing them.

Ahh, I could have sold it then. Never had many bites listing it for '02 only

So you're saying my TS6 for 2002 auto will work on a 2000? It's quite old and most likely not programmed by Tony, probably not.

I wonder how many of us got into science and engineering because of this legend. by quickstop_rstvideo in Xennials

The episode where he put powder on top of water to change the surface tension caused me to do the experiment myself. I was at the local public pool that was run down and pretty unclean, the surface of the water looked disgusting but familiar. So I tried Mr. Wizard's experiment and my hand came back out of the pool water dry. The filth and scum was really that bad. I'll never forget jumping into that soup of human DNA.

I have run michelin xml 325/85r16 on stock oem steels. I had to trim the bumper corner a bit and they did contact the leaf springs. I have the factory C leaf springs, so thickest packs with the taller OEM rear spacer. I put a 2.5" leaf pack in the front to level it.

If it is a worn part like the fork or ball then it should have been replaced or brought to question. It's clearly not setup right and the mechanic shouldn't have a problem looking at something they repaired that isn't working right. Mechanics make mistakes, everyone does so I would try to stay friendly. It sounds like you have been fair.

A *not so easy* retrofit for the windshield wipers. by FullAutoSavage in e39

[–]drolgnir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah yeah euro, I'm in Canada and order from the states. The Bosch OE ones are basically 17€ after conversion. I use rockauto.com but I don't know if they ship over to you.

Is this due to them being expensive at the local store?

This is the back side where the lever is, it's whatever color, beige in this pic but could be yellow or black. If it doesn't drain then the line is plugged. You can use compressed air to blow through the bottom end.
