  1. I've heard, but to make the wire go bad seems a bit much. Corrosion at the connection maybe. If the terminal is only crimped and not soldered I guess that connection could go bad. The main reason I say it seems unlikely is because of the symptoms; the system looses power while running (fairly low amperage load), but then can carry enough power to crank/start, that makes me think the problem is in the ignition feed circuit, not battery cable. Electricity can do strange things so it's not impossible, it's just less likely. If there's a relay that carries all of the 'key on' running power, probably labeled main relay or ignition relay, that's where I'd start.
  2. The likelihood of it being because of a bad battery ground cable is extremely low.
  3. If your only issue with the stopper is that it becomes nasty, throw it in the dishwasher with the dishes. There are lots of plain stoppers out there without the metal strainer part. I don't know what you're seeking, your post read as if you were drunk or something, not like you.
  4. We don't pre-clean, run it whenever it's full, never cleaned the machine, and it doesn't stink. Maybe it's because we leave the door unlatched.-? We've never let it sit latched so I don't know if it would stink. The front load washing machine will stink if it's left closed so we leave that cracked open too, I had to rig it so that the door isn't sitting wide open and in the way.
  5. With most stickers, if you peel them slowly, sometimes painfully slowly, the adhesive stays with the sticker. Scraping or rushing is almost always going to leave a mess. Heat helps. Heating the object is much more effective than heating just the sticker. Luckily this object comes with it's own heat source, you just need to switch it to heat mode, a match down the hole is all it takes.
  6. Angle grinder with a 3M Cubitron grinding wheel. Use medium pressure to start, ease up when you smell gas. When it catches fire you can go on to the next task while it does all the work for you.
  7. You should remove the sheet with the small holes and leave just the expanded metal. Those little holes will easily clog up with leaves, the larger holes have a decent chance of letting them through or at least letting them bend into the holes so that it stays flowing.
  8. A few weeks back I did a cleanup day and tossed a bunch of stuff. On trash day I realized I needed something I'd tossed, but the truck hadn't come yet. I head to the driveway and when I round the corner there's my can, in the process of being tilted into the truck. Dammit, off to the store.
  9. If the cap isn't holding pressure the coolant can boil at a hot spot without changing the indicated temp so it'll burp some out of the reservoir.
  10. He begged his mom to teach him how to sew behind dad's back so nobody would find out that he's a queer.
  11. Being that it's a mechanical adjustment and that the MAP signal can't fuck with cylinders individually I don't see a reason to unplug it. I don't know why it says to do it on other bikes, maybe it's just in the way and needs to be moved. Oh...I guess it could make the synch process more difficult since every time you make a change it'll add a change. Especially if the MAP sensor is connected to only one throttle body and it's not whichever one is un-adjustable since every time you tweak that one it could make a pretty big change across the board.
  12. I remember seeing those and wondering if you were putting up more cameras, now it makes more sense. And I keep forgetting, if you decide to dump the electric cooler I might want it. I wonder what those finely aged beers taste like, they look pretty impressive...you get first sip 🙂
  13. Nope. I wash it to ride it pretty, not to park it pretty.
  14. Sponge baths for bikes...now I've heard it all 😆 Mine get washed, but not often. As soon as I'm done I use a blow gun to get the water out of the nooks and crannies, then towel it off. Riding it right after finishes the drying.
  15. The sound would probably be very similar to a single with equivalent packing/baffling...if it has any. Being that they're different lengths would change things a bit, but they're probably not different enough to make a big impact. I'm curious about the thing on the rear fender. There's a hose or cable coming down to the swingarm that probably connects to that thing. Goofy oiler placement perhaps?
  16. I stopped at the 4 minute mark, after doing some fast forwarding to that point, because right away I was guessing it would be somewhat retarded. You don't have to waste so much time doing what he did, and it's a bad idea because if the dead battery has a shorted cell the charger may not see it and keep trying to charge. Put your charger on the dead battery, jumper in the good battery, hit the start button, disconnect good battery. Option 2, do the same but use a dumb charger instead of another battery. Typically, once the smart charger starts it'll stay on when you disconnect the jumper, it just needs to see enough voltage to start. It's the same whether it's AGM or flooded, smart chargers all have a minimum start voltage. And as Carlos pointed out, damn near any battery will do the trick. It takes very little amperage to get the dead battery's voltage up, could probably even do it with a 9v alkaline battery.
  17. Aww, she was so sweet and innocent back then.
  18. Unique, potentially practical, and I don't know that I'd ever get over how much it looks like a retardedly oversized scooter.
  19. Ahhhh, the Precious...I miss her so. And I miss the the ChickenHawk/SuperChicken, but don't know if I'd want/enjoy it today.
  20. That salon cart looks pretty handy, enough space to be useful and not so much that it would become a huge clutter holder, something that would happen with me. I have a traditional mechanic's cart, two tier 30"x16" with a drawer that I put some tools on, pushed out of the way, and never used. It's in the process of becoming my welding cart. The old welder was on the same size two tier cart without a drawer and it was great, now with all the extra stuff for the multi-process welder the drawer will be quite handy.
  21. Hotels?? Riding that mosquito repeller through the southern states in spring should get me some free stays along the way, and maybe with the farmers' daughters for free.
