Motorcycles BS Thread 2.0

God I can’t wait for helmet light to come in. Deadfall plays tricks on you when you are alone in the woods.

 

That was a weird ass movie hah

 

I take it this isn’t what my clutch cable is supposed to look like? Lol. Had a minor pop in the clutch, and the slack grew. Now when I pull it all the way in, I can still feel it trying to pull the motorcycle forward ever so slightly, so full disengagement isn’t achieved.

 

Ooof. The ferrule came loose. Not sure if I’d trust a repair over a replacement.

 

Yeah I’m definitely going to replace. I hear it’s an easy job so gonna try it myself first before I take it to the nearby shop to have it replaced.

 

Hardest part about it is adjusting the cable after install. It’s worth doing yourself just so you can learn that procedure as part of your regular maintenance. I got lucky with my bike and the updated clutch cable tension adjustment is super easy compared to my older bikes.

 

Yup I had a buddy help me do the first oil change and basic service where he showed me how to adjust the cable tension, seemed pretty easy. Just need to order that new cable

 

okay I’m intrigued what movie

 

My post is from “The Ritual” on Netflix. The first picture just reminded me of it but I don’t know where that’s from.

 

Gotta add it to the list. If you want to watch some fucked shit, watch Hereditary.

 

Heredity is good, I also liked the directors follow up “midsommer”. Though it is a different feel. Folk horror is such a growing style right now. I’m also a fan of the way newer horror like those mentioned have used the idea of grief as the background or instigating act of the movie. Like the movie “Antichrist” or “don’t look now”.

If you want motorcycles and horror, try “nightmare beach”. It’s 80s spring break horror slasher with a killer on a motorcycle.

 

Looking now at a 2016 FZ-07 13k miles. Anything I should look for engine wise with a bike with that milage?

 

You mean with low miles? Just ask for maintenance records and get a feel for the person selling it

 

2nd owner and he said he's done oil changes. I just chatted with him via text seems okay just not face to face yet. I think Yamaha engines are well engineered and had an FZ 06 and ran flawless. Just didn't know if anyone here has personal experience with this model.

 

you can buy a yamaha with confidence

Super high mileage. Time to sell

 

Good info, thanks!
