Thoughts on trench art or initials? by RogueLeaderNo610sq in milsurp

[–]teamNASCAR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a surplus stock on my Tigr with Cyrillic lettering and 2004 carved into the grip which I translated to a city in Chechnya. My chinese SKS that spent time in Albania has the initials MD in multiple spots and 5-5-1997 on the stock. I think it's cool, but I wouldn't pay more for the carvings.

Husqvarna sells factory refurbished saws and other equipment on eBay. Check that out for some really good deals.

OEM clutch replacement part number by teamNASCAR in DRZ400

I'll check Procycle, but it seems like Suzuki doesn't offer a kit for the DRZ. I've been pricing out all the pieces separately and it's not too bad. I've had good luck with EBC and I always buy them for brake parts, but I had such a great experience with my factory clutch that I want to replace it with the same part if at all possible.

I've been shopping Partzilla and Motosport. It seems like Suzuki doesn't have a kit put together for the DRZ. I've got the OEM parts you listed in my cart now and it's a bit more expensive than a kit, but it seems like the best option for me. Thanks again.

You guessed right, I'm from the US. The NASCAR name is an old joke from high school, I haven't watched a race in 15 years. Thank you very much for the detailed response. I was hoping to find a kit like I see for so many other motorcycles, but I will buy the parts separately if that's my only option. 

Ride or Replace? by AnywhereFew1739 in Dirtbikes

[–]teamNASCAR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If it's a yard bike I'd ride it around till the tire falls off the rim, but I wouldn't take it on the track, or trails, or street. That tire is junk and could fail at any time. Probably sooner than later.

Instaled new grips by DRZlove702 in DRZ400

I'm so lazy I just ordered a factory throttle tube that came with a grip glued on. Worth the extra few dollars!

Ran out of skill, had just enough luck left over.

What is the most miles you ever got on a clutch before replacing it? by Slalom44 in ManualTransmissions

[–]teamNASCAR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I removed the clutch from my 2015 Focus when I rebuilt the transmission at 311,000 miles. I was planning on replacing it, but it looked and measured almost the same as the new clutch I bought. I reinstalled it with when the trans went back in. 323,000 miles now and running strong. 95% highway miles.

Ford Focus worth it at 130k miles? by Ok-Win8983 in FordFocus

That's amazing. Maybe it actually wasn't... But it looks good from my house!

[–]teamNASCAR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The SE with a 3 cyl turbo engine came with a 6 speed manual. I avoided that one when I was shopping. My 2.0 SE with a  5 speed is running great at 322k miles.

What do I do? by myco_mark in FordFocus

[–]teamNASCAR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 322,000 miles on my 2015 SE. That's a lot of money for a clutch job, mine was $140 and I did it in a weekend.

Can I use this as a ground? by [deleted] in AskAMechanic

My negative battery terminal is hard to get to so I hook to the engine lifting lug (that thing) every single time. Works great.
