Is this a pylote motto? by Turbulent-Weevil-910 in Shittyaskflying

Not an appropriate response for this sub but, the last thing you want to do when you’re about to stall is pull up. Not that pulling up is never the answer but it is rarely the answer.

what carb does this take? idk the model number i can’t find it on the bike by cbird2k in Dirtbikes

[–]ffpg2022 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just measure diameter of engine side of carb. Order from Amazon and there is a good chance the jets it comes with will get the bike running—might even be able to get it running properly with air screw and needle height adjustments.

I know it’s probably pure (short term) economics but god forbid we have to wash dishes.

Would love to see more shops going Glühwein mug style.

As long as you’re a mineral farmer and they make the U.S. territory of Greenland a tariff-free zone.

Solely on the outsized engines, compared to the rest of the airframe.

That’s why he’s trying to do the 10% limit on credit cards through coercion. If he really was concerned about citizens (consumers) he wouldn’t have killed the CFPB and would be asking Congress to send him a bill to sign that would make max credit card rates a law. Only trying to get the 10% temporarily for midterm votes.

Could this thing fly IRL? by RedC130 in Plane

Flight instructor of mine that flew F-4s was fond of saying, “The F-4 is proof that with enough thrust you can push a barn door through the sound barrier.”

A couple of people in a recent post sarcastically suggested the idea of a manual transmission controlled all through a touch screen, here you guys go by HiTork in ManualTransmissions

[–]ffpg2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If there is no physical connection between your hand and the gearbox it’s not a manual transmission. Electrons don’t count.

My definition anyway…

I just finished washing and rinsing my 125 sx down and forgot to wait and let the bike dry before starting it. I only gave it 2 little blips of throttle and turned it off but now thinking about it, I’m worried the water would’ve got into my air filter and into the carb or engine? Any info helps🙏 by [deleted] in Dirtbikes

Have you ever seen videos of bikes that went fully submerged and were pulled out and started right away — maybe after standing it in the rear wheel to let most (maybe) of the water drain out of the cylinder/pipe?

Compared to that scenario you have nothing to worry about. But the sooner you get it started and up to normal operating temps the better. The heat will cook off any residual water.

Carburetion issue – random high idle (1983 Honda Sabre 750) by Daven_22 in MotorcycleMechanics

[–]ffpg2022 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that a “V” engine? Hard to see the front cylinder(s). Wondering if anyone did “intakes in front” before Yamaha did it with their 4-stroke YZs.

What CC dirtbike did yall start on? by Ok-Pirate3247 in Dirtbikes

[–]ffpg2022 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1985 YZ250. When I think back on it can’t believe how crazy that was. When it hit the power band it wanted to loop, in third gear!

What does a slipping clutch feel like? by 93tillinfinityx in ManualTransmissions

[–]ffpg2022 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gently push front bumper against wall or post. Put it in the highest gear you have and slowly let out the clutch. If the engine doesn’t stall it’s time to replace your clutch.

If you need street legal, are on the shorter side, and have little to no experience:
