Still beats the hell out of the 5.39 for regular and 5.99 premium ethanol free they had today

 

I run it in my motorcycles, pressure washer and lawn mower. I have never had a carb issue using this fuel so it’s worth the price we have to pay. Yes I would like it cheaper.

 

I just bought a brand new riding mower, you're damned sure it's only getting ethanol free. Damn thing was almost as expensive as my bike cost

 

Well looks like the master link will not show up today. Inquired about it again and they gave me another $5 credit. I have no idea when it will show up. I ordered another (rivet style) that supposed to be here in the morning. The one that didn’t show was a clip style. Rivet is stronger so hopefully that will show up and I can finally ride this bike.

 

Couple pics I took before we left yesterday. Wish we could have rode more but it got crazy hot and the gf wasn't feeling up to it.


I need to start bringing my actual camera around again instead of just my phone...

 

Nice pics! Only thing that could make it look better is a set of SM wheels on that Kawi!

 

tell me about it! ive been looking for a set of sm wheels for it while im on the street but atm no dice! and oem kawi sm wheels are rather pricey!


miss my old sm but dont miss the problems i kept having with it...

 

Have you used that tool to rivet before? In the market to grab either this one, or the DID tool

 

Nice weekend for some moto camping

 

I have. Worked as expected.

 

Yes I have. Works like it should.

 

Right on. Reading too much into reviews always gets to me, always appreciate a little closer to home type of commentary.

 

Master link just showed up. Looks like I will be out riding after I have my coffee.
24hrs late. $15 in credit, refund shipping , total price for the link? I made $4.08

 

Great pics, phone or not.

I'm betting it was hotter where you are, but dang, the 87 degrees we had yesterday while out riding was annoying enough for me. My jacket is pretty decent on ventilation, but the Helite vest blocks the whole back vent. Definitely coulda used more air flow.

 

thanks! i just like what i can edit on the pics with a camera. my phone does pretty good since it can shoot in raw so thats nice.

it was hot and humid af lol when we left the house it said 74 with a humidity of 85% then reached to 86 degrees out as we took those pics. all i was wearing was a t shirt and jeans and my ridding boots and it was still crazy hot! legit dripping sweat both of us in our helmets!

 

I drove across the state yesterday. Ellensburg/Vantage area was 95. Supposed to be 90 something here in Pullman today. Too early to be that hot. It’s going to be a rough fire year, mountain snow was gone already.

 

Update,,, Well my luck is crap. The master link pin diameter is too big to fit my chain. It’s made for a 520 chain so I am not sure why it didn’t work. Maybe it’s because it’s a clip style link?? Anyway I did place a back up order last night for a different master link that is a rivet type. That is out for delivery and should be here within the hour. Hopefully that one works. If not I will be ordering a new chain. Hopefully this link fits.

 

At least we don't have to worry about the humidity over here. Says 38% here today, and I just checked Pullman, should be around 26%. None of that 85% crap. We got one of them Ryobi misting fans for ourselves at Christmas. Just pulled it out last night to give it a try on our back deck. Definitely helped under our metal canopy/gazebo thing.

 

That's weird. Sounds like they mighta sent you the wrong one? Ask for a refund so you can get even more outta this situation, lol.

 

they arent all compatible between brands. pin diameters vary between brands as youve found out
