Ah, ok, so is the goal/purpose here a mental challenge, or to improve health? Two different goals, right? And if it's a caffeine addiction thing, then most tea is out? Or can I replace the coffee with a couple huge mugs of strong black tea? Anyway, I'm in. But I'm not sure I count since I already do most of it, LOL.

It should smell only as bad as on a cold start, right? Which I've never noticed at all. I'm leaning to the cat delete. I haven't found an ECU flash option for the later years. It seems like the ECU got locked or whatever, as all the options I find end at 2018 or 19 (before the Adventure model, which has a different program than the RC/Duke 390).

Also note that it takes about three weeks for an elimination diet to work, maybe five. So anyone expecting to see magic in a week will be disappointed. That said, cutting salt and processed junk was noticeable in my joint pain in a week-ish. I'm just now getting back to feeling normal after Salton Sea weekend and junk food.

I do 3/5 all the time, one randomly, but never the other. Hmm. Why coffee? How is that junk? I've yet to see anything correlating it with something bad, unless you drink a ton or fill it with sugar and milk. And does decaf count?

Oil consumption, or HV battery going up?

I picked up a cat-back system for the KTM (390 Adventure), which most people say makes a tiny difference in driving, but not much. You drop a lot of weight and remove this retarded huge resonator that makes the exhaust sound a little bit "off" and heats up the rear shock a lot. Common wisdom on all the 390 forums is that you can run this without a programmer, or you can pick up a little zip and better manners, such as off-idle response, with a programmer. So my two discussion points are which programmer, and do the cat delete too, or not? "Everyone" says that you gain around 7% HP and 10-13% torque if you do it all. But more importantly, the people who have done it say there's just more low-down zip and improved drivability. The engine is great as is, but there's always the fucking dragon to chase, right? This has a couple good reviews, and is inexpensive. The 'Murica made version is $350. There are design differences but I can't discern whether there's any effective difference. Probably not. And then, there are three programmers most commonly available for the 390. https://www.boosterplug.com/shop/boosterplug-ktm-390-864p.html Boosterplug, $170 shipped. It works by connecting to the airbox air temp sensor and modifying the signal to it. I can envision how this works, but have never heard of it before now. I believe it can work in both closed loop and open loop ECU modes (not sure if that's true). https://www.bestdualsportbikes.com/ktm-390-fuel-programmer-instructions Best Dual Sport Bikes, $250 shipped but currently shows out of stock. These guys talk up a good game, not sure how much to believe. Highly programmable and claimed to be self-learning. They specifically note that it boosts accelerator pump function for a crisper throttle transition. It goes between the injector wire and injector, so it can affect open and closed loop running. https://powertronicusa.com/products/powertronic-fuelx-pro-autotune-fuel-optimizer-ktm-adventure-390-250 Powertronic FuelX Pro, $180. This one goes between the O2 sensor and its connector, which I assume means it can only work in closed loop. Wouldn't the ECU ignore the O2 sensor other than in closed loop? So whack the throttle, and the sensor is ignore? Tunable and auto learning, with the option for a handlebar switch to choose two mappings. https://powertronicusa.com/products/powertronic-ktm-adventure-390-2020-2022 Powertronic V4, $330. The most comprehensive, it plugs into everything so it can access everything. So the install is harder, but I'm going to do this at the same time I do an electronic cruise so the bike will be apart anyway. It says it changes timing, and is the only one to claim a rather high dyne-proven HP improvement. Other than cost, this seems like the choice. "If it's worth doing, it's worth over-doing." It is highly tunable with an app, and firmware updatable.

So what is "concealed" in your state, any idea? Do you carry your auto, and how?

I know they are leaky, but do they also burn oil?

Apparently, at least for one hothead driven by a pointless grudge and unable to see the point of the OP at all. One of the oil test places did a bunch of comparisons of diesel oil in "every" machine they could find in their data, and they all seemed just fine.

And no. Shocker.

Honey or a bit of raw sugar in coffee, once a day, is mostly my only sugar consumption. Never been a cream guy, but Moriah used to make milk foam for coffee, and an unflavored macchiato is my idea of decadence.

They started selling Honda polish in their dealers so their riders wouldn't have the embarrassment of walking into a Honda dealer.

All the evidence from doctors and nutritionists says that cow juice is bad for most people. The dairy industry has studies that prove it's good for you. Go figure. Pick your sources. Overall though, if you gain enjoyment from it, then it's just one of the compromises we make. I don't enjoy it much, and once being 100% clean of it, I could see the little problems it caused when I had some, so fuck it. Nope. We know for sure that routine milk and cheese fucks up Moriah's gut, so it's all out, why not.

Yeah, it pasted fucked up. Columns are: State Private Ownership Sale Open Carry Concealed Carry Balisong considered same thing? So you can have one at home in CA, but not in public unless it's under 2".

The beard comb above might be the most retarded. I don't think anyone could make a claim for the value, compared to my $15 version. Well, mine isn't full auto, just assist.

So an auto knife is legal in CO but an 11 round mag is not? Kinda surprised. Also now wondering how many states outlaw autos?

I forgot serving ideas. Avocado is fantastic with this. More fresh cilantro on top. More lime juice. Shredded cabbage Radishes are also really awesome with this. Corn tortilla, corn chips Thin sliced or small chopped white onion on top

Real food, real fun, not very hot unless you specifically use a lot of hot chiles. I use a variety of medium and mild, then I can add some hot sauce to tune it, and change the flavor for variety. Hatch reds, chilaquiles, ancho, etc etc. I typically use 4-5 types. The giant corn is savory, not sweet, with a very chewy and meaty quality. Very satisfying. Three medium onions (or about, whatever, not critical), diced but don't need to be super small. Again, whatever you like. Saute in the Instant Pot if you have one, or stove if you're still living in the 90s. Two pounds (ish) of peeled hominy corn, soaked for at least 8 hours but preferably 12-20 hours. This is called "mote pelado" and may be called nixtamal. But some nixtamal still has the husks, and I find that annoying to eat. All pelado has the husks off and is nixtamal (treated with an acid). https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B01MUUO5IU?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Cut the stems off a shitload of dried red chiles, shake out the seeds (not important to get them all out), and toast them in a wok or large pan. You want the pan on the hotter end, and for them to just slightly smolder and darken. Stir often. I use a LOT of them, because they are the star of this meal. You want a rich thick red heavy soup at the end of it. I use enough to about half fill the large wok shown below, twice, cooking each batch separately. Put them into a blender in reasonable sized batches along with 1-2 bunches of cilantro, and about 6 cups of broth or water. You can add more later as needed. Add a bit of potassium chloride, or salt if you must, 1-2 tbsp cumin, same amount of Mexican oregano, in the first batch. Also about 1/4 lime juice is good, not critical. Blend smooth. Add to the onions you already cooked, and put in the corn. Set the IP to custom pressure cook, 30 minutes, high pressure. Allow it to natural release (15-ish minutes). Set the IP to slow cook on low, cook at least three hours, but five is nice. Stir about every 30 minutes. If you don't have an Instant Pot, you can just slow cook or simmer it all for about 6-8 hours. You can, of course, add meat if you'd like to reduce the nutritional value...

The whole thing seems udderly ridiculous.

US regulatory authorities said it was fine, it's in the article. I know you trust them.

https://www.cbsnews.com/news/chinese-super-cows-clone-milk-cattle Snippets: Chinese scientists said they have successfully cloned three "super cow" calves that, once fully grown, are capable of producing 50% more milk than the average American cow. The cloning experiment began last year at Northwest University of Agricultural and Forestry Science and Technology in Shaanxi, China. Scientists sampled tissue from cows across China and used what's called the somatic cell nuclear transfer method to create embryos which were then placed inside surrogate cows. The calves will eventually produce 18 tons of milk per year, or 100 tons of milk in their lifetime, Chinese scientists said. By comparison, the average U.S. cow produces almost 12 tons of milk a year, according to U.S. Department of Agriculture data. Officials from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration have said meat and milk from a cloned cow is just "as safe to eat as food from conventionally bred animals." I mean, sure, yeah, since it's not really all that safe or healthy.

EFI? Sometimes I don't ride the motorcycle because I have to move two--TWO--ebikes to get out.

In the SW environment, I've never had tank issues at all. Even from years of old gas. But jets clog so fucking easily. I don't know how many neighbors I've helped with a wire and some carb cleaner. One summer of not riding, and a bike/quad/generator may be fucked when riding season starts.
