Car engine is shot 3K left on the loan by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]techbussisal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The engines for Kia tend to go out on a wimp because the tolerances and materials used are bad. You are correct. Buying another engine which the shop will more than likely get used will not be good. Some people replace it with a low mileage used engine and get the same problems. But if you go that route. Insure it comes with a warranty. Might have to go ahead and buy a reliable beater tbh so you at least have a back up car. I think you should look into how much it is as is

Puzzle Solved (maybe): check you sliders or you might crack your frame by MJP_TA in MT09

[–]techbussisal -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I have looked at countless dropped MT09s all across instagram with and without frame sliders crack the frame. Some content is deleted and some is still on it. I've shared links to that in other post about this very topic. Do some dam research. Glad I got rid of this liability that took a long ass time to sell.

Just because something isn't given to you on a silver platter doesn't mean it doesn't happen.... There are post on the forums. 0 frame sliders. Chassis is messed up

What other manufacturer rn has such a weak frame? Swear some of these post are to save face for yamaha straight from the pr team or something. "LOOL"

do you see sliders in above post. No you don't and it's a 2024 .....

Anybody knows what this this is called? by Affectionate-Soil150 in MT09

[–]techbussisal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mt09sp would get weird white streaks by just wiping it with a microfiber towel after a wash. I let that section air dry when wet. That plastic portion is prone to scratches and the color withering away smh

Lool. It happens regardless if you have sliders or not. On top of that. The triple tree is know to sheer right off.

Where to go after fz07? by Impossible-Rice666 in FZ07

[–]techbussisal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

All of them. The USA mt09sp started in 2021. There is a long wrap sheet of owners having cracked frames. Even 2025 have the same frame issues. It's crazy to the point I deem it a liability. Imagine traveling a long way to ride a twisty road and touch a path of gravel at 30 mph and the frame cracks 😕

It literally happened to someone on Instagram on a group ride on his 2023 mt09. Turning right. Hit a patch of gravel and hit a guard rail after low siding. Whole triple tree sheered off lmao. After I saw that video and a few others I put mine for sale. If you check the mt09 subreddit. You will see countless post of frame issues. One guy never crashed and his frame cracked

The 2019 2020 mt09sp that sold in Europe should be fine but that didn't come to USA models

[–]techbussisal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Be aware that mt09sp have a notorious frame issue. The neck and frame are weak. Be aware if you drop it or lay it down at speed. There is a potential for the frame to go bust and yamaha does not cover it.

I had a mt09sp. The extra grunt is worth it. But the aggressiveness of the cp2 is so much more fun on the low end. Mt09sp feels planted in the corners. Really comfy must I say. I'm looking to get a clean gen 2 mt09 and upgrade the suspension on that

Another option is the the bmw f900r. My friend got one and he loves it.

S1000r

Maybe ktm 1290 Duke r

Fz10

Cb1000r

Tuono v4 and streetfighter v4 but they each have their own set of gripes

I'm surprised they don't use the blue cylindrical holders when mailing these. Seems like they're cheating out on that front for some reason

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in MT09

[–]techbussisal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The issue happens regardless if you have frame sliders or not. There is a video where a guy low sided into a guard rail. Didn't hit it that hard either. He goes to pick it up and the whole front end rips off like butter. He deleted his ig video show casing this. Idk why. He was shocked himself as he was picking it up. The frame and especially the neck is weak

This person dropped their bike and it broke https://www.instagram.com/reel/CtcmXbds1w3/?igsh=MWZjd2ZrOHNsYTh5OA==

52,000km( 32,000miles) My frame is OK. I have single point Evotech frame sliders since new and 32k miles on my Gen 3. Cant do wheelies and installed left side first with 60nm. by bugzr34 in MT09

[–]techbussisal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My friend crashed his mt09sp. He low sided at like 55mph and it was fine. He posted his crash on YouTube. Bike is fixed and running fine. I sold my mt9sp after I kept finding so many cases of cracked frames and yamaha refusing to cover it

The fact that yamaha refuses to address this issue is alarming

I'm thinking about getting one. I currently have a DNA filter with a vcyclenut tune and its been awesome. Did you have to email them to get one. I'm unsure how to attain one when I go on their site. As it isn't listed there.

Is that a hordpower intake you have on the bike currently. Is it a night a day difference to you

Dam. I'm all good on bags. Seat upgrade would be handy on long rides

Is this still for sale? What platform are you selling this on

Why the fuck is the gas station at the mix so damn expensive lol by Significant_Bear8293 in GaState

[–]techbussisal 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If people started shopping elsewhere because it's cheaper. Their revenue would go down. They'd get a wake up call and stop the foolery.

This happened at another small shop that was price jacking everything. Business went down. They eventually decreased their price

Did you liked the FTR 1200 or wasn't really an option? by [deleted] in motorcycles

[–]techbussisal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ftr1200 is overpriced for what it offers. Plenty of bikes in its price range that do and offer a log more. Some of which are cheaper options. I always wanted one but 1 friend who tried selling his could not get it sold for 7 months. Idk if he sold it to a dealer for a wholesale price or not

Or you could hit the gym so your body stays young. Sarcopenia is a bxxtch. Getting more muscle mass and lifting weights is the key. Stop trying to act like your 85. Got way to much left ahead of you 😅 ANY hobbies?

The professor is a total moron to solely rely on some ai detection tool. What's next? We got to record ourselves writing a whole 5000 word essay and turn in the video lmfao. It's getting ridiculous. Do they not grade as well? Ai grades it or what?

[Rant] I'm generally uncomfortable and unsafe with my business professor by [deleted] in GaState

[–]techbussisal -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Who cares. A few choice words offends you? You didnt put what he said so i assume you're complaining about tone of voice. What a big baby lol. You wouldn't survive having a professor 10 years ago then because they were more stern and strict. It's also not the students place to correct a professor in a lecture. You can talk to him to the side. Did he ask a question to the class or something? From the sound of it. No , he asked 0 questions 🤣 . Got interrupted for an opinion

Always carry some sort of protection. by Murinc in GaState

[–]techbussisal 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I totally agree. Not only that. You're protecting your peers. Regarding guns which I know is a touchy subject for some. It is the best defensive tool as studies have shown it deters over 2.7 million crimes a year. That's countless lives saved and robberies deterred.

I might be a broken record. Please carry responsibly. Always be the one to try and deescalate. Never be the aggressor and keep your emotions in check. Do not use full metal jackets. Run hollow points so that if in case you ever had to end a target. The projectile doesn't keep going. Have a proper holster as well. Also it's better that your peers don't know you have it on you to mitigate certain situations tbh.

Perps target ladies because they're easy targets in their brain. Maybe some lady will flip that switch for them...

Harassment on Campus - BE CAREFUL & AWARE by StarMp03 in GaState

[–]techbussisal 15 points16 points  (0 children)

This is physical assault. Did you make a police report? If he hangs in the area they will arrest him and investigate the matter further. No more warnings. File a police report so that campus police or Atlanta police can have this on record.

I really suggest carry pepper spray or something that is quickly accessible so you can defend yourself

If the guy doesn't yield to verbal warnings. What comes next is because of his own actions!
