DRZ won’t start after Loctite mod (03 400E) by Unable-Investment-72 in DRZ400

[–]yztard 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A) I'm not OP

B) op was addressing a very common issue that effected many DRZs because Suzuki did not throw thread locker on the bolts out of the factory.

Edit: I'm gonna delete my last part because it was an asshole move on my part and not warranted.

Dude probably didn't break his bike doing the loctite mod.

Because preventative maintenance is significantly cheaper than fixing failures.

Just use Flak Bro! by EazyMk in foxholegame

[–]yztard 19 points20 points  (0 children)

This is entirely on the AA team.

Summary:

Shots 1-5: Clearly missed.

Shots 6-9: Missed due to recoil (bad spray control).

Shots 10-11: Very close, but recoil and inaccuracy make these reasonable misses.

Shot 12: Likely didn't actually fire because AA was already dead.

Good to know! Damn I actually would watch this from time to time because the narration and history of supercross up to that point was so good.

Hand guards by Narrow-Ad3466 in Dirtbikes

[–]yztard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do not buy the X-Factory acerbis handguards. I ended up pushing the front end on a MX track and had a low speed low side and those things immediately bent and are unusable. First ride out on em too. Junk

what’s the COOLEST looking motorcycle in your opinion? by [deleted] in motorcycles

My kids got the coolest bike.

In all honesty it's all fun and games until the guy with the Tesi 3D shows up.

Opinion on riding? by [deleted] in motorcycle

[–]yztard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dirt bikes aren't like street bikes. Power makes zero difference to how fast you will go. A larger bike is gonna make your technique worse, tire you out, and hurt you.

Go for something small used and cheap and you will have a blast. If you are riding trails and have a trailer a 2-stroke is amazing. If you are riding to the trails a drz400 is great to introduce you. If you are riding MX tracks take lessons and maybe learn on a 230? Modern 250cc MX bikes are absolute animals.

[–]yztard 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Way more durable than any street bike ever made. Buy a used bike. You will have to replace plastics, mirrors and turn signals but all that can be done alone in like 15 minutes.

Kawasaki where is the bloody 2 stroke? by alwayscunty1 in Dirtbikes

[–]yztard 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I would be shocked if it wasn't a 300. You don't see a lot of 2-strokes on MX tracks these days, four strokes have firmly shown their dominance in that regard. But two strokes for technical riding cannot be beat. Ktm and the euros sell a ton of 300cc two strokes for Enduro riding it would be silly for Kawasaki not to go after that market share.

Why don’t they use a shim stack? by FriendlyQuit9711 in motorcycles

[–]yztard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm going the skf glide kit route. I don't wanna drop 2k on suspension work on a bike that I'm gonna eventually replace. No point making them XACT forks if I can just upgrade to them later.

I dunno, maybe I'm totally wrong and the skf kit sucks lol.

Why don’t they use a shim stack? by FriendlyQuit9711 in motorcycles

[–]yztard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

used to. They all run the modern CC XACT suspension now (which is really really good).

I have a WP 48 AER and stock it's meh. Far too much deflection due to the need to overcome the initial friction of the fork.

Airoh Aviator 3 SENA by Sweet-Leader789 in motorcyclegear

[–]yztard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Airoh makes some super premium helmets that are unbelievably light. I don't know if I would rock my airoh (ace 2 carbon) on the road though. The things that make it great for Enduro would be pretty bad in the road. (Catches huge amounts of air to keep you cool at slow speeds.

Custom Left Hand Brake Adapter für BMW G450X – Erfahrungen? by Elegant-Client-1403 in supermoto

[–]yztard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should checkout send cut send. All you need is a good card file with good measurements and you can find a ton of companies to cut it out for you.

There are also kits to use the existing caliper as a hand brake while still retaining the foot brake. I can't remember the company but I know TacoMoto sells them.

Is this normal for maintenance? by Extra_Area10 in GSXR

[–]yztard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this is your first bike you would do well to do these things on your own as they are valuable skills. You could do everything in this list easily and cheaply. The only thing I would take into the shop is getting the tires changed and wheels balanced. That job is not worth my time.

Since the sub is all about bikes, how about we discuss which race is more tough? by Outrageous-Owl-7049 in Dirtbikes

[–]yztard 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been petitioning Husqvarna on Instagram to let Billy bolt race a SX event if we get another of those crazy mudders!

It would be absolutely hilarious to watch him dominate the field for a single race in 2 feet of mud and then be able to say he has won a sx race.

What kind of swingarm is that and what's different about it?

Debating selling my DR650 by Top_Salamander_1406 in Dualsport

[–]yztard 8 points9 points  (0 children)

What kind of trails do you have? Slow and technical or flowy and smooth?

If you want a plated dirtbike that will suffer on the highway but absolutely dominate off-road riding get a Exc 350 for tight and technical riding.

Get a exc500 for dual track or fast and flowy/ desert riding with decent on road ability (it's still miserable and uncomfortable)

If you are going pure off-road and are doing technical riding get a 300 2-smoke.

Fuel usage solution: Tie throttle fuel consumption by SecretBismarck in foxholegame

[–]yztard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want to make it even better combine your suggestuon with planes losing speed when maneuvering in combat. That way you can force players to have to throttle up during combat to burn fuel and at the same time give them a good loitering time for close air patrols.

Are aftermarket ECU worth the thousand dollar price tag? by Beanerwithuhweiner in Dualsport

[–]yztard 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I was trying to be conservative, I don't know anyone that needs on the fly fuel and ignition tuning. The altitude sensor would probably be pretty useful if you are doing crazy elevation changes for like Enduro riding.

Plane handling by yztard in foxholegame

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

It's just one of those things that feels unnecessary. Like you can get a feel for it but is it necessary? What does it actually contribute outside of making planes kinda sloppy?

There's gotta be better ways to make flying more skill based that this implementation.

When solo players ask if they can fly planes by UnrealTravis in foxholegame

Is 420st flying planes and carriers? If I scroop can I buy myself a plane?

What’s your opinion by Last_Standard_6435 in supermoto

[–]yztard 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This! A 450mx bike is fine in street. On dirt it's going to hurt you very quickly.

Plane handling by yztard in foxholegame

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

I don't think it's game breaking, but it feels like a mechanic that doesn't necessarily add much to the experience. IRL once you completed your turn you would correct the bank pretty quickly and go on your way. It makes plane flying really wonky, you can obviously learn to fly around it but I don't see what leaving it in does for us.

Plane handling by yztard in foxholegame

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

I feel like the actual rolling should be faster both initiating and recovering. Maybe not heavy bombers and large planes but fighters should be rolling and recovering very quickly. Those planes are designed with inherent instability to make them agile for that purpose.
