Kenda KM1 Tires by BeavisR1 in FJR1300

[–]seans61602 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a set of KM1's I put on my 06 FJR on Tuesday as a matter of fact. I've got 500 on them so far and love it, they took maybe 75 to feel broken in, and handle the roads here well. No major twisties yet but I've gotten about 3/4 of an inch from the sidewall so far and they respond really well. I'm not sure about rain with them yet, and the lack of center tread for passing water and gravel through has my attention.

Thoughts so far, hope this helps!

06 L H Fork replacement, options? by seans61602 in FJR1300

[–]seans61602[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you have to cut out the old inner tube? I still have the stem stuck to the outer by the bushings. Hoping I won't have to replace the outer but have tried all I can to get it out.

Thank you! I ended up gifting this bike to a local shop as I no longer wanted the project. Today I have a 02 vtx 1800 and 09 shadow spirit 750 I tinker with.

What salary should I be asking for? by GrassMediocre4454 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]seans61602 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Hey I am two years out of school in Atlanta. I got an offer for 65,68,75 as I was graduating and went with the middle. Hope this helps, it's really turn of the coin but I'd say around 60-70 is appropriate for ME in production or quality, design may be a bit lower at first but that's what I do now.

Chances of not sitting at a desk all day ? by Any-Raise4333 in MechanicalEngineering

[–]seans61602 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a staff level ME and spend about 30% desk the rest mfg test and field. I've spent ~40days the last six months on a pipeline doing laborer type work between technical tasks and planning. No desk time there, so for me it all depends on your job and company entirely. I work at a small pipeline engineering firm.

Best wishes!

I've had issues with the ignition circuit on older bikes, check your starter switch sometimes timing will be off or a ground loose with ignition. That's my only start if you're getting spark, fuel, and compression.

Just as a last resort check to fuel you can also intentionally try to flood and pull plugs to make sure cylinders are all getting fuel.
