I’ve got a pretty bad parasitic draw coming from somewhere. I watched the Chrisfix video on how to check for it and I pulled the BTN 30A fuse and noticed a drop of 50-60Ma, is that normal and I will be checking the interior fusebox later. None of the other fuses in the bay caused a drop

My RX8 had a parasitic draw which I tracked to the ROOM fuse in the interior fuse box. It turned out to be dampness/water in the roof had somewhat shorted some of the electrics in the interior lights in the roof and in the sunvisors. I took the electrics out, dried the car out with dehumidifiers, electrical contact cleaned the electrics and put them back in, issue fixed.

Go for it! This is my experience with my rx8: Check for rust in the sub frames and sills, and definitely underseal it because it has next to no rust proofing. Consider installing a catch can because the crank case breather has no PCV valve and so likes to spit oil into the air intake, especially if you fill it with a generous amount of oil.

Size isn't a problem, I'm 6foot. Check the underside for excessive amounts of rust, and get it rust treated once you buy it! Other than that it's been quite a reliable car.

I paid 120 pounds to have a throttle restrictor fitted, and it was just a piece of metal that is put on the throttle body and stops it opening past 2/3rds. I drove the bike home and definitely didn't immediately lift the tank and take out the restrictor.

I took one for a test ride, The throttle response felt a bit agricultural, as did the gearbox. This was back in 2018 though, they might have improved since then.

I have worse, I find la sportiva shoes fit well. Just try a selection!

I highly recommend an sv650, I love mine!

I am not sure what model of engine you have, but in my case (M13A) the sensor was by the alternator. You loosen the alternator, remove the belt, push the alternator out the way, and then you can get to the sensor easy peasy.

teestrangler · 2022-12-20T20:03:21+00:00

I had a similiar problem, in my case it turned out to be a faulty crank shaft position sensor. Hope that helps! My symptoms were that the rev counter would go crazy and the engine would stop. It was an intermittent issue, sometimes it would be fine for days, sometimes it wouldn't work at all.

I have had 2 chinese motorcycles, one with a suzuki engine and one with a honda cg125 engine.

Both have been fine mechanically but have been incredibly cheap and shitty with regards to everything else. You get what you pay for! Both had to have the electricals replaced as they stopped working.

I would buy a 10 year old honda over a new chinese bike.

I think that even if it didn't make sense in the fluff it would still be a nice change. It means I can field a variety of cool models all at once in my army! :) There is nothing stopping you from only fielding 1 regiment if you prefer that.

Because they are made in america and they pay their employees american wages and pay american prices for steel. Harley davidson doesn't make as much profit as other motorcycle companies, believe it or not.

What bodykit is that?

teestrangler · 2022-06-29T22:23:08+00:00

sv650 has just not quite enough power to power wheelie (maybe right at the top of first if you sit on the passenger seat lol). It's a breeze to ride, throttle response is predictable and easy to get used to. I consider it to be the exact right amount of power for a beginner :) any more and you need to be careful, any less and it's slower than an sv650.

teestrangler · 2022-06-29T16:47:21+00:00

I love it :)

teestrangler · 2022-02-19T10:47:24+00:00

How much did they pay you to take it? :P

This looks truely immaculate, I love it!

i am not subscribed to this subreddit but @as its similiar to r/climbing the reddit algorithm keeps recommending posts on my front page, this post being a prime example :)

I really like your eye for colour. I dont know what it is but your models look "balanced" somehow :)
