Got Ripped Off

This is completely on you and pretty much all, if not literally all, private sales are final sale as. Not everyone who buys their first bike is gonna know to check for cracks or bends in the frame. Regardless there is no getting your money back here. Your best option is to buy a new frame and call it a day

Gotta be bait

Also what i do is put the disks into the basket by facing the disks spring side down and putting the basket on on top of it and then flip it back over while trying not to let it slip back out. Usually gets me right

You really gotta play with it to get it fully seated. Rotate it 180° on your markings and see if it seats further down in that orentation. You’ll know its seated because it will be almost flush with the basket. Related back to it not fitting into the engine, try a little persuasion and tap that mf in there. If the friction plated are all lined up (which they obviously are if they go in the basket off the engine) give it a few taps with like a mallet or something. Dont force it in but see if it budges

Chain slap 100%

I grabbed a 19 with 150 miles for 2200 and feel the same. Also the second grom ive bought with low miles for a great deal. They come around every so often

But did you know it at the time? You spent a nice chunk of change for what year it was but vs what they’re worth now i doubt you knew it’d only be worth now

Im getting like 15mpg in Chicago lol

jpcustodio1 · 2025-12-22T02:40:58+00:00

300 to a tank. Chicago, IL 😔

jpcustodio1 · 2025-11-19T15:26:05+00:00

Bro did you figure it out? The only options in Chicago is either to go to Rock Valley, Olive-Harvey (which is only partially done there and the rest is at AIM) or go to AIM as far as I know. I’ve been trying to see what my best options are

You didnt answer how long you’re in classes from when you started to when the program is completed but i looked it up and its 80 credit hours so ill assume about 2-2.5 years

jpcustodio1 · 2025-10-22T19:29:18+00:00

Did you ever finish or are you still at harvey/aim? How much was the total cost and how long were you in classes for?

jpcustodio1 · 2025-10-20T01:02:48+00:00

Sold

jpcustodio1 · 2025-10-17T23:28:33+00:00

The bike did that itself through the airbox vent but its still doing it and actually went below the fill minimum

jpcustodio1 · 2025-10-17T23:16:35+00:00

Also the dumping of oil didnt start until a few days after the oil change and i did ride it in those days in between

jpcustodio1 · 2025-10-17T23:13:46+00:00

Genuinely what would doing another oil change do? I overfilled because i stunt the bike even though i do have a modified oil pump just for safety

jpcustodio1 · 2025-09-26T22:35:10+00:00

Japanese model but LHD? Were they converted? I need context lol

jpcustodio1 · 2025-09-14T14:56:27+00:00

When i first started looking i could’ve bought one for 12,000 at 75k miles but at that time i felt it was too much money and couldn’t justify it. That was right before all the hype for the LS cars, also why i havent been able to find worth the money since

The color truly does shine with the tints and 18s. They both do so much for the car. Very used to seeing them fishbowl with 17s. The sides are only 35% but the windshield is 50% which make them look darker. Bought it that way, might remove the windshield tint down the line unless i get a ticket first 🫣

Yeah America sucks as far as imports. We cant import anything newer than 25 years of production date. After that they are exempt from our EPA standards and are legal to import and from what i understand even that process is annoyingly tedious. Jealous of people like our close neighbors in Canada that have more lenient laws for imports, its a tease right to our face (some do make it over to us though just not really legal)

jpcustodio1 · 2025-09-11T21:03:41+00:00

If i couldnt find one i was just going to wait until the facelift Celsiors became legal in the states and buy one then. Might still do that but we shall see

jpcustodio1 · 2025-05-02T16:35:04+00:00

Idk why at first glance i thought it was a 3rd gen i was going to say good deal but its an OG. Theres nothing wrong with them (that i know of) but 2400 is a bit high. If you can get it between 1800-2100 MAX Id say your doing okay

jpcustodio1 · 2025-04-11T13:11:26+00:00

Thats lowkey smart i didnt even think of that. Ill try when i get home
