Really? I never would have thought.
When searching dont forget to try to search it both ways....i found my bike cheap cuz he listed it as XR 600. Not xr600r. If not, do you even CL bro?

I'm fine with crangslist dying. It needed better logic/analytics, and the ability to search by distance and/or multiple cities. Facebook, while not perfect, does those things + added ability to directly chat with an individual via messenger.

I dislike facebook because the radius is too small. However CL lets me select 14 cities if I so choose.

100 mile radius is useless unless you live in NYC and don't have a car or something. I'm usually willing to drive a few hundred miles or more depending on the item.

"relevant results" but nothing specific. If you want a Roland PD-120 snare drum, you have to sort through every drum on the whole market. I just did this, it's4zilch wrote:Facebook shows me relevant results beyond 100 milestroyguitar wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 9:38 am

An the app version of FB, it's easy to just drag your center point to where you want to search from if the "relevant results" aren't concise enough.

I live in a super small town and there are no cities within 100 miles. Its 250 miles to the nearest city.troyguitar wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 9:38 amBarnes93cb wrote:

CL lets me choose multiple options. I can look at san antonio, austin, dallas, houston all at the same time.

I was a msf instructor for a bit. At first I was amazed about the lack of knowledge and common sense some people had. BUT 99% of everyone new has the opportunity to learn, master, and have a blast.

This kid has some decent science going. I’ve always been about chain lube.
I run an RK gold x ring chain and ill hit it with wd40 once it is filthy and hit it when some motul...that can has been in my garage since 2007, so am i really ? Not really. I’m totally agreeing with him though.

The whole clean and line your chain every 250-500 miles is a holdover from the non-oring chain days and none of the manufacturers have really studied it to see if any update was needed.
I clean my chain when it’s looking dirty with a brush and some wd40 - even though the internet will try to tell that it will cause your o-rings to swell. Molecularly wd40 is pretty close to kerosene, which is almost universally accepted as a chain cleaner.
For lube I use DuPont PTFE chain wax - it doesn’t fling off nor does dirt readily stick to it. I do keep a can of Motorex white chain lube around as well if DuPont becomes hard to find again. The process has served me well for the better part of the last 10 years.

I got way over 25,000 miles on my original r6 chain ripping wheelies, slamming it into first gear and sliding the rear tire. I rarely oiled the thing. Maybe every oil change. Granted it didnt have 1000cc torque it lasted a long time.4zilch wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2019 5:54 amI didn’t watch the video but I’m sure it sounds like most of the forum discussions around chain cleaning and maintenance.NeonJonny wrote: ↑Sat Apr 20, 2019 4:25 pm

Yeah, I’ve never worn through a chain or sprocket - even with loads of track riding on 1000cc V-twin torque monsters.NeonJonny wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2019 1:36 pmI got way over 25,000 miles on my original r6 chain ripping wheelies, slamming it into first gear and sliding the rear tire.

The last time I changed a chain is when I changed gearing and the bike had a enough miles to justify the extra cost to replace the chain as well.

Scolded me for not changing my chain with ~4k miles on it when I changed the rear ratio. It looks fine, operates fine, so why mess with a good thing?4zilch wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2019 1:28 amYeah, I’ve never worn through a chain or sprocket - even with loads of track riding on 1000cc V-twin torque monsters.NeonJonny wrote: ↑Sun Apr 21, 2019 1:36 pm

I’m at 15/43 and would kind of like to go to 15/45 but I was paranoid about uneven chain wear. i don't do tons of miles on this thing so I doubt it would really be that detrimental. Probably put on 2200 miles since I’ve owned it in 5 years. Its kind of annoying never getting out of second gear in dirt lolBig Brain Bradley wrote: ↑Mon Apr 22, 2019 8:05 amScolded me for not changing my chain with ~4k miles on it when I changed the rear ratio.

I love riding a bike that is why I always aware of safe riding. I wear a helmet, boots, earplugs, gloves, a jacket so that I never put myself into a risk. If we don't use a helmet then we will be always at risk and if we don't use earplugs then we will fall into hearing loss/damage. That is why earplugs are an important part of motorcycle safety equipment.
I found some websites and want to share here because so that you can aware of hearing protection.
