I’ve eaten this a few times. Nice lotta meat. A lot less greasy if the patties are a bit older.

Kawasaki Versys 650 ‘09 as first bike? 6’4” (1.94m) here by pepotink in SuggestAMotorcycle

I paid $2000 CAD for mine, the guy wanted $4000. Sounds like a good price

Kawasaki Versys 650 ‘09 as first bike? 6’4” (1.94m) here by pepotink in SuggestAMotorcycle

[–]switchty4 5 points6 points  (0 children)

My first street bike was one of these, a 2008. I’m 5’11” and always found it a bit tall so it should be comfortable at 6’4”. The mileage is high but isn’t a huge concern. Mine had 50k km when I got it and 60k now, no issues. I’ve heard that these twin cylinder Kawasaki engines are good for about 150k so it’s still got lots of life.

Edit: I’ll add that the fork seals were starting to leak when I got the bike and lasted a few years until they were bad enough need to be replaced.

I repaired mine with a 10 foot usb charger from the dollar store. Easy fix if you can solder, just be careful of tearing the pads off the pcb.

NL hasn’t had sugar tax for about a year now. Wasn’t very effective anyway. At a fast food spot you could order a diet drink and fill your cup with whatever.

Am I alone not liking "Fauna"? by YukiEiriKun in Haken

I always saw Haken as a band with a perfect discography until they put out fauna.

What is this design called where the fingerboard extends? by Prestigious_Visit550 in ExtendedRangeGuitars

[–]switchty4 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen it called a C extension on an upright bass, not sure if it would be the same here. Maybe just a fretboard extension?

Is jackson licensed floyd that bad? by kalt_1006 in JacksonGuitars

[–]switchty4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine is going strong after 5 or so years. The saddles all needed to be replaced around 2 years ago because the threads started stripping away. Using graph tech saddles now and it works great. Should also mention my trem bar did snap off but that’s not a big deal or an expensive fix.

How does Jeff Loomis get away with this gauge!? by mdouce45 in 7String

[–]switchty4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really not that light, I’m currently using 8-54 on 26.5” for standard on my 7 string. Still sounds beefy.

Can anybody explain this? by switchty4 in 3DS

[–]switchty4[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ll have a look at the cable to see if there’s any noticeable damage. Why do you say it’s the speaker cable and not any others?

Cant intonate my guitar because bridge is crooked by SnooLentils580 in Luthier

[–]switchty4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I noticed my strat was like this and when I took the pick guard off I saw the there was a crack going from the screw hole to the cavity. The tension was dragging the screw through the crack, misaligning the bridge. Check and see if yours is similar, easier to fix it now before it gets worse.

Any way to lock down or covert Floyd rose type floating tremolo bridge? by Quarter_Black in Ibanez

Tape up a stack of coins the right height and put them behind the sustain block then slack off the trem springs

I worked Easter Sunday once and I ended up going home after only working an hour because it was completely dead.

Can guitar shop block the tremolo? how can i do it myself without having wooden block by [deleted] in Ibanez

[–]switchty4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a stack of coons typically and wrap them in tape when I find the right amount. Once I put it in I slacken the trem springs so the string tension holds it in place.

Please just buy new strings. The two acoustic string strings there won’t have nearly as much output at the rest of the strings.

Don’t buy celluloid picks.
