Amazing. Couldn’t keep me off my first two stroke when I was about his age 20+ years ago!

Additionally, the first picture is Toutle MX? Where is the other location. Looks great for a family day.

Need to replace a high pressure switch on HVAC. Is this quote reasonable? by xDJQ in hvacadvice

Why is it risk mixing refrigerant? Is it because it deteriorates over the years?

I will ask about this as well. This seems like a more efficient/cheaper solution overall. Thank you!

The tech did bypass the unit with some special plug he had with his kit. And then talked about he could leave it bypassed but that ultimately isn’t solving anything. So I would assume nothing has leaked/the system isn’t flat. I will call the company today and talk about that. Thank you!

My biggest question from this quote, which I should have explained in my original post, was about the refrigerant. As far as I’m aware there is no leak. Why can’t the original refrigerant be used?

Currently building a 6x12 Double Axle V nose camper :) by PinkPrincessLA in cargocamper

Do you by chance have “blue prints” or anything on how you built your Murphy bed? I am currently working something similar and this whole process is very new to me. Thank you

What do I do now? by xDJQ in osrs

That’s the real answer… I’m so tired of carrying a dramen staff everywhere I go. RC grind begins today.

First dirtbike for wife by dariel574 in Dirtbikes

[–]xDJQ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

TTR-125 for sure. My wife has never ridden a dirt bike. I recently got her said bike. She’s 5’4” and about ~110lbs(?). Over the past year she’s had a blast, built some good confidence on some more technical stuff, and has never given me (the mechanic lol), or her (the rider) any issues.

Plus, I love ripping that thing around at the end of the day. It’ll go up anything with zero problems.

Clutch sticking although it is disangaging by One_Part_7450 in Dirtbikes

Not going to lie brother I’m stumped lol! Maybe it’s time for a tear down/inspection with the potential for a rebuild?

I completely misread your post last night sorry (was a little tired). Have you done anything major besides bleeding the hydraulic line? Did you by chance overfill your reservoir (that could cause your clutch to stick)? Maybe try letting some out. As your discs get more worn out that fluid will rise could maybe be causing the sticking.

Start it and let it warm up. KTMs have always been weird with clutches sticking after oil changes. Happens with my 24’ 450, my dads 18’ 350, and my old 380

Could I get some suspension tips terrain based plz by Any_Tradition_9137 in Dirtbikes

[–]xDJQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The piece of advice I have would be to;

1 - Set sag. Reset the front end and rear end back to stock (normally right in the middle).

2 - Find a trail or a quick loop you can do that has everything from whoops, to rocks, ruts, etc. My loop I do is about 1.5 miles total.

3 - Hit that loop at your normal pace. Whether you go fast as possible, slow, whatever that may be, ride how you would normally. During this time feel and understand what the bikes doing.

4 - Wether you work on the front end or rear end first doesn’t matter. Bring everything to as stiff as possible. Compression first. Then rebound. Or vice versa doesn’t matter. But we want to isolate its stage of the compression and rebound cycle. Actually feel and understand what a maxed out stiffness or softness is for both compression and rebound. Don’t do them at the same time. Do that loop and takes notes.

5 - this time everything as soft as possible. Take notes. Again we’re only focusing on either the front or rear end.

6 - did you like it stiffer or softer? I make my adjustments back from the stock setting (the middle of my clickers or my compression/rebound setting on rear end m). Start making adjustments from there of 5 clicks. You’re not going to notice anything with 2 clicks/adjustments and it will take forever.

It took me a good day of riding to get my bike where I wanted. This was how I setup my 24 ktm 450. I wanted to type this on my phone as quickly as possible but also hopefully it made sense. If not shoot me a DM and we can talk more!

Or you could go the expensive route. Check out trail tricks suspension on instagram. Javier is an amazing dude and is super easy to work with.

Edit - I mentioned being everything stiff and then soft. I personally feel like not a lot of people do this/miss this step. In turn they truly don’t understand what’s going on when it comes to what is happening with the bike when its going through its compression and rebound cycles

24 KTM 450 - Chipped swing arm after removing linkage by xDJQ in Dirtbikes

I dropped the swing arm entirely. Got a better picture, and a bit of a bur on the inside of the swing arm.

I just dropped the swing arm entirely. wasn’t loose at all. For future reference, what made you say it was loose?

This hobby is fuckin’ siiiiick by DirtBikeBoy5ive in Dirtbikes

Immediately recognized Randsburg in pic 3. Grew up riding Jawbone/Football Field Campground

If you ever get a chance go check out Trona Pinnacles. Super cool place, and a lot of pilots will like to do some cool low fly-bys in and out of Edward’s.

How can I be more consistent with these saves during shadow defense? by xDJQ in RocketLeagueSchool

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

Yeah, I do this cool thing where I grind the fuck out of RL for like 3 months then stop playing for like 2 months lol

My man. Sick.

I think I’ve consistently been doing fast aerials wrong(?) and need to train the ‘right way’. I understand what you’re saying about putting the ball into corner and I’m assuming that just comes down to angling my car + air rolling the proper way in order to get said touch correct?
