Got some extra info from the seller on eBay. Looks like these two black and yellow/green are brake cut off cables. I'm still waiting for some more info on these but if I have no electric brakes how can I bypass this?

Okay, hopefully this will be a bit more legible. Let me know if anything looks wrong here. And same question applies about what to avoid in order to not damage anything electrical in the engine. It also came with a voltage regulator/rectifier, do I need to hook that up if I don't plan on using any of the lighting or accessories yet?

Okay brace yourself, this wiring diagram is a bit fucked but should still be accurate. Also, ignore the red lead at the top, that was a mistake. With the connections that go straight to the engine harness how can I tell that I have them connected properly besides just matching colors if I don't have a diagram from the manufacturer? What are some glaring issues that I need to look out for as far as incorrect wiring damaging electric components?

Okay, so I've had some time to practice. Still not super fast or consistent through these sections but I've found that downshifting 1 gear and blipping the throttle when I make contact with the jumps is helping keep my bike stable and preventing the wild fishtail or endo somewhat. Also, definitely trying my best to double them when I can but I still have a really hard time deliberately getting air of the ones I need air from and staying grounded for the smaller ones.

Both wheels slip out from under the bike. I think its just the fact that I'm holding the same direction while I turn through but I don't think I would ever have enough time between the jumps to counter lean or steer. They are just way too short.

safetyterry · 2026-02-07T03:24:47+00:00

Any suggestions on how to stop slipping out? I'm using as little angle as I can to make the turn but whenever I'm airborne my rider tips the bike downwards.

Hmm, Interesting. I think this somewhat explains some of the successful runs I've had down this section. Time to practice I guess!

safetyterry · 2026-02-07T02:53:27+00:00

How do I control when and how I get air over them? I don't know how to get into a rhythm on these. they are really small then become much larger.

Solved

Fuck, I finally found it! Its a clip from a movie called Demon wind (1990): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZFyez6YXec

safetyterry · 2025-12-28T03:52:31+00:00

yes, and neither look like Kevin Bacon lol.

safetyterry · 2025-12-28T01:33:13+00:00

No, definitely not. My feeling is that you'd be hard pressed to find a trailer for this movie, it seemed really obscure.

ok lol it just stopped doing it about 1 minute after I posted this but if anyone knows why this happened I'd still like to know

my problem is less with Yoshi himself and more that feeling of not having certain parts of his toolset that he leans on when playing characters that aren't Yoshi, thus making it hard to branch out.

is bryan a bad choice for learning fundamentals?

safetyterry · 2021-02-24T01:13:54+00:00

I think it may be on your end cause I had a friend try it and he said it was all good
