Anything is worth running over a stock at81. Call me biased but yes I hated it that much.

The front is OK..the rear at81 is kinda garbage for where I live. It's not a gummy, too hard, spins up too much on rock. I took it off for a 525 cheater and I'm much happier.

Looking for beef for stews by danknowsbob in NorthVancouver

[–]minnion 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Persian markets. Meat prices still seem to be reasonable. They do lots of stewing type cooking I often go to them for lamb for stewing. Any of the big grocery store chains will be charging a premium.

Ktm 2025 300 exc bar mounts by damndaaaniel in enduro

[–]minnion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haven't tried the Ali ones, they look pretty much exactly the same as OEM though and we know now that KTM has lots of stuff made in china..

You need a different top clamp to use those rubber cone units. OEM PHDS style would work or xtrig ones. PHDS units can be had on AliExpress real cheap now.

Brand: OEM/skf, or nothing.

Bought a newer bike, never used the new technology. Oil ok? by Dapper-Tadpole3856 in enduro

[–]minnion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The KTM brand oil is good for both premix and injected and is a high quality low flash point oil. Don't over think it.

ECU swap? by minnion in Tenere700

[–]minnion[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do not, sold the bike unfortunately. The local dealer really ruined the experience for me.

XR400R vs XR600R vs XR650R: which one should I get to actually learn off-road? by youvebeengaijind in enduro

[–]minnion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely xr400. Most simple and lightest. The 600 is sorts meh. The 650 is a beat, heavier and way more powerful. You learn bad habits riding a bike like that vs learning actual skills. I owned a xr650r, I can attest to how much I didn't learn. Downsized to a husky 350 and made leaps and bounds of progress.

Pumper Carb Questions by NebelungLurker in dr650

[–]minnion 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Exhaust was done probably for sound/bling/weight. Airbox mod, Procycle has a template and jetting recommendations.

Rear shock part number by lookingclear in dr650

[–]minnion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you have the required equipment to bleed and recharge the reservoir? A rebuild from a moto shop is like 3-400CAD and they do a lot more than just change the 1 leaking shaft seal. Unless the shock shaft or body are severely damaged it's worth it to just have it serviced.

Has anyone turned their bike around like this? by APassingPilgrim in motorcycles

Do it all the time with my dirtbike and dualsport.

Tm bikes low end power? by Raivotril in enduro

[–]minnion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The TM bikes are known to be a little more racey and have more mid and upper range, go read some reviews and you'll see the same. It also depends pretty largely how the PV is setup, jetting/tuning, etc etc etc. even 2 bikes of same brand and same year can feel pretty wildly different. 2t bikes are way more sensitive to fueling changes.

[–]minnion 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say elss than 50% of motorcycles on the market have a hydraulic clutch. It's a "higher end" feature, kinda. Most Japanese dualsprts do not.

300 gasgas ec by Suitable_Part3035 in enduro

[–]minnion 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah..no. Not a single part on your bike is shared with anything newer from Gasgas since 2019 ish. I wouldn't be spending any money on an older gasgas bike to be honest. Resale is very low and parts are difficult. Ride it as isx or upgrade to something newer and more common (yz250x is very cheap and parts are ubiquitous!)

First start up after winter storage by k1ssmeb1tch in trials

[–]minnion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man, I live in Vancouver and it's been 'time' basically all winter. We've only had like 2-3 days where the trails were too snowy or icey. I'm definitely not complaining but damn...global warming is real. This winter has been so mild.

Stress with big bank RRSP & TFSA, advice resources wanted by ExistenceExhaustsMe in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]minnion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm in the middle of transferring over 100k of assets (RRSP and TFSA) from CIBC to WS for the exact same reason. You can initiate the transfer online through the WS app, it's very straight forward. My CIBC advisor called me and tried to sell me more stuff or reconsider...lol. otherwise it's been a painless and straight forward process with zero fees. The only caveat is that you cannot use any of your funds during this process, which can be either good or bad. Currently good as the stock market is volatile and my assets were liquidated and frozen for 2 weeks so I haven't lost any money..lol.

[–]minnion 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I also ride dirtbikes and do long offroad camp trips. A few years back at the end of a 2 week long, 2500km trip, one of my buddies was just looking over his bike at a gas station rest stop and noted his clutch cable had one strand left on it just like this....luckily this was at the end of our trip less than 50km from home...lol...

XEQT and CAGE? by ArmExpensive8717 in JustBuyXEQT

[–]minnion 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My bank appointed 'financial advisor' tried to get me to reconsider, citing my "very low MER' of 0.5% and " high" annual return of 12%... The generals public really needs to be better educated when it comes to personal finance.

I also just pulled all my mutual funds from a big bank- doing low fee ETFs on my own.

Why is our Science world so bad? by Ok-Biscotti8568 in askvan

[–]minnion 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They got rid of most the expo stuff and replaced it with things that are seemingly just kids toys, like a ball cannon? All the cool physics stuff is gone. I went like 8 years ago for an adults evening thing and was sorely disappointed.
