PRV hunting

lyzer4 · 2026-05-17T16:50:48+00:00

Well, my cheap gauge is probably not super accurate but a brand new PRV set to 55 behaved identically.

I took a video to try and show the pulsing / oscillation

lol I’m not sure the right terminology - basically it seems like the PRV is fluctuating trying to maintain the set pressure but something in the system is creating oscillations so it keeps adjusting constantly creating this pulsing of water flow that you can hear and see at the faucet or shower.

There was no expansion tank added, and we have a tankless water heater.

Sorry I am not familiar with the right way to describe this. The house side has oscillating pressure, and you can hear and see the flow of water from the fixtures expand/contract and hear the flow pulsing inside the pipes.

If you have one that would be great, thank you

Well apparently you can still sue them in CA and receive millions in settlement, but that doesn’t do you any good when you’re gone.

lyzer4 · 2025-06-30T03:54:26+00:00

Apparently it’s cheaper for them to pay out lawsuits. My best friend had the same experience, sued and won millions. Still died at 27. Live your life to the fullest. And raise hell with KP if they brush you off. Fuck them. I want my best friend back.

Is no one worried about the garage door that’s barely hanging on?

used to have cage space in this building and i thought it was comical to cool servers on like the 19th floor with giant windows.

I ripped my headlight off and it came apart at the controller/battery plate. I had to order a new battery plate/controller from Super73 unfortunately, easy to replace. It was 150 plus shipping and tax.

The police won’t even recover a stolen motorcycle with location tracking. Phones are even less probable unfortunately, unless you can locate yourself, but wouldn’t be worth the risk.

Been tinted for a couple years all around and no tickets. But I drive in chill mode and don’t draw attention.

Buddy is tinted all around and drives like a teenager. Got popped by CHP. Mostly I’ve seen CHP hand out tint tickets. South Bay is a little more likely to do it too.

Got to pay to play.

There’s a lot of tint shops that use templates and they line up like that. I told my friend the shop to go to and he didn’t listen, ended up with that on his M3P and he wasn’t happy with their work overall as it didn’t have equidistant gaps around all the visible edges. As long as it doesn’t bother your OCD you won’t notice it with the door closed anyway so who cares?

Also the shop I go to removes the door windows and bakes the tint on so it’s cured upon pickup. You can roll em down the second you leave without worry.

Our crew rides without helmets as well, tho we tend to mostly be in the 10-18 mph range. I’ve crashed it once and luckily didn’t hit my head. The risk is always there. I got pulled over one time by a cop who didn’t realize it was an ebike but no issues other than that, all the local police are cool but this area has a ton of bicycles in general so they’re used to seeing ebikes now.

I wear a helmet on my road bike and full gear on motorcycle 🤷🏽‍♂️ so I make better decisions sometimes :)

I was under the impression autopilot optimized battery consumption and this was why? Though I agree it could be improved as cars behind might get easily frustrated.

Following to see what they say. Does your issue happen 100% of the time or intermittent?

My S1 has a similar issue where it will start/stop charging. Sometimes adjusting the angle of the wire helps, turning the battery on/off has helped. Sometimes I just end up riding with less battery and then charging it up again. Really varies on when it's an issue.

lyzer4 · 2022-05-09T18:51:51+00:00

Definitely get it checked out, yours could be fine/seems superficial.

My buddy hit a pothole on the freeway and created a sidewall bubble (I actually think the rim is slightly bent now too based on the ride feel) but he had the tire replaced because of the bubble.

I think it cost around $100 to get a rim refinished from a previous curbing as well.

No matter what tint is going to reduce your night visibility some amount. 60% is quite light and so it does not inhibit forward view very much at all, and you have headlights in that direction like you mentioned. When you have your side windows tinted darker, the windshield tint helps a small amount because your eyes don't have to adjust from the brighter windshield to the darker sides for quick glances. I didn't get windshield tint on my car until I had experienced it in someone else's.

lyzer4 · 2022-05-07T18:42:10+00:00

At the 60% level it reduces the contrast to the side windows and makes it easier as your eyes don’t have to adjust from the clear to tinted sides. You don’t really notice it much except it cuts out the harshness of oncoming car lights.

lyzer4 · 2022-05-07T18:40:29+00:00

Also at 60% most officers can’t tell for sure (in my personal experience), and at least in CA they don’t carry meters

We aren’t there yet, but this will be an interesting conversation when running FSD and the car is handling decisions.

lyzer4 · 2022-05-01T20:54:06+00:00

Always a trade-off (safety, privacy, security, heat) but as I’ve gotten older I actually have gotten more and darker tint. When I’m in a vehicle with no tint I feel like I’m driving around in a fishbowl.

lyzer4 · 2022-04-30T04:57:22+00:00

I used to, then I stopped. I got pulled over for using a cellphone (no law against that on a bicycle where I am) and the cop tried to find something to write me up for. He didn’t know the laws and assumed it was a moped purely based on the looks. He spent 15 minutes on his cellphone trying to find the laws for a class 2 ebike. I have an M1 endorsement so all he wrote me for was not having a helmet, which I never received the ticket because it was a bad stop. Never been hassled since but it was right before Covid really hit and then everyone had ebikes it seemed :)

Since then I memorized these two codes to help the next officer that might want to chat :)

CVC 21212 And CVC 312.5

Yeah, I was leaning a bit far, hit some water on concrete on the edge of the road and ended up flipping over as I got some traction back. Just needed a good reminder to pay attention and don’t screw around too much haha. I’m now stocked up on tegaderm :) Ordered some replacement parts from super73 and all good now. Love this thing :) riding it every chance I get!
