2000 Kawasaki XLR 650 . in photos.
any suggestions for easy cheap DIY upgrades and low cost mods?
anything up to $700.
im sure a Yoshimura might eat all that, so not exhaust suggestions, what about everything else and who does the carb or ECU tunes on this bike?!?
THANK YOU ALL! 🏍️ 🙏🤙😎
born and raised SoCal friend moving to the other side 🙁 & 😳. but I said I’ll take care of it for you in case you ever come back, you can have it back of course!
anyways - 1998 Toyota AVALON XLS- 247k miles.
has quirks- driver handle broken,
gas latch broken & have to open trunk and reach right arm thru to gas latch and push up, and pull open the gas tank door from the outside with left hand. 2 handed operation.
needs shocks & or struts, lube?
back window have less and less chances of ever going back up with each time you roll them down(well pushing the electronic window buttons down and up)
AC- doesn’t work, have the part but won’t pass smog when it’s installed. So he said leave it out and get smogged, then put it back in.
ANY HELP-TIPS- CAN I do any if these things myself easy? Best YouTube-ers for Toyota Avalon’s?
where to get cheapest parts- easy fixes?
he said trans fluid was done recently when work was done on trans.
maybe brake fluid flush and or top off and brake pads.
AN-Y-THING ELSE - HELP! 🙈🤷♂️😂
I did baby it for the first 600 and varying. im 50yrs old so I have discipline but over all I am an aggressive driver. I like to say calculated planned aggressive, not random spontaneous, erratic and spastic aggressive with no anticipation or prediction.
first oil change at 1760 after a long 800 mile trip. 400miles up to Mammoth Ski resort trip and 400 back.
yeah I know, should’ve done the oil change before the trip at about a 1000. but I hadnt gotten my tools and jack and stands and everything ready before the trip. so unfortunately did the trip first then the oil change after we got back,
DEFINITELY hit some high RPMs, heavy fast and a lot of passing up the 395. And coming back down the 15 that looonnggg steep grade downhill run thru the SoCal mtns hit the governor once. was very smooth and effortless. Got up there easy and very quick but again this was on a very decent steep downhill early evening with big distance in front and back of me. No one around me for about 2-3 miles.
And was in the range of 80-93 steady for long periods flat and down hill.
what do you all think the wear and tear is not having got the 500-1000 outta the way first??
I then did the second oil change at 3370 with 5w30 mobile 1 full synthetic. And I’m going to change back to 0w8 at 7750 before the dealers rec of 10k.
And then keep this same schedule Of putting the 5w30 in at 13000 approx and back to 0w8 at 17000 and then dealers 20k and keep doing the 23000 / 27000 - 33000/37000 and so on with the 5w30 in at the ‘3000’s mark and the 0w8 back at the 7000s.
Photo at Splash bar parking lot, Primo Tapia area, Baja Mexico Norte. The Cuota is FUN in nice cars to run them a bit, man that section down past Salsipuedes to Ensenada and San Miguel!?! Beautiful and very few cars on a weekday. woohoo! 🚙 💨
had to delete my previous post on the subject due to the complete incompetence and ignorance in the replies.
Take 2 : you can see right there in the letter it says 2021 through 2025. There’s no mistake about people talking of this only since October of last year bikes. It’s all bikes every single one all of them nobody is exempt. It says it right there in the letter. Please read before you comment. You’re only showing your ignorance people.
and then like my title says this is California. your Missouri Canada, and matter here and you’re off-topic and you’re off subject and on a conversation that you have no business being
So for the 2021 to 2025 Honda CRF 300 L owners in the state of California, what are you all going to do about your registration for next year? Because if you don’t know, no dealers anywhere ever will work on any bike that has ever been modded, especially if it has any sort of emissions related mods like the gas tank upgrade or an air box mod or the exhaust or anything like that that is on the outside of the bike that is easily viewable to the dealers Mechanic. You cannot even go to an authorized dealer to get a lightbulb changed if you have a Yoshi or Graves exhaust on your bike if you have an Acerbis gas tank that’s clearly visible just by the naked eye looking at your bike they will a tire for you. It would break their contract and risk their insurance and their dealers license. So for all you under 35-year-old kids in here trying to act intelligent please just stop. You don’t know what you’re talking about..
For the rest of the new, actual real mature, adult life experienced men in here, what are you all for your registration next year??
Are you really going to tear your bike all the way down and build it back up to stock to only tear it back down again and build it back up to your modded parts in triplicate??
YES. I just said that. if the CA DMV requires us to show the recall work done for registration renewal next year or next month whenever your Registration is due,,,,, Are you going to tear the bike down to stock so that the authorized dealer will work on your bike so that you can keep your bike, or are you going to take it off Road and dirt jail your motorcycle cause that’s all it’s good for For anymore.
Think this through people, that’s what this is saying is that our bike bikes are now dirt jailed. They are no longer legal on anymore because unless we tear it all the way down to stock and rebuild it up completely stock, you can’t get the work done for the recall, because no will touch your bike upgraded gas tank or an upgraded exhaust and especially if you did the canister delete or the pair valve that kind of shit you have to build all that back up for an authorized to touch your bike. They will not work on your bike modded I’ve already called around and asked a bunch of dealers and they all said no we do not work on modified bikes, especially emissions related modifications
I don’t know are having a hard time understanding what I’m explaining here, but your other states don’t apply to this subject. This is only for the people in the California only for people that have modifications done on their bike.
What are you going to do everyone???
what’s everyone gonna do? are these dealers really gonna deny us service with any mod part?
FYI- I’ve called my SoCal local dealers, the one with the FUN word in it, and I’ve tried to just get simple unrelated work done on my bike for a weird knocking noise i started getting last year before this recall existed. they said NO. we cannot, not will not or don’t wanna, CAN NOT work on modded bikes.
so with this recall, how are we going to be able to get the bike serviced for the recall by authorized dealers if we don’t tear down all the mods and Acerbis tanks and install the whole bike back to stock!
what dumb logic am I over looking that is CA owners that ride on the street and have our bikes registered gonna do for this recall?
if dealers wont work on modded bikes, then what other option do we have than tearing them down and rebuilding again to stock! …and then building back up to our mods again!! That’s 3 total rebuilds on the bike in its life. That’s retahhded.
don’t let that one sentence “only if the DMV requests it” fool you. This is CA. They want fines and fees. Read the EMISSIONS WARRANTY info below that sentence. They clearly state they are probably going to fine you for not keeping your vehicle up to proper operating emissions standards…over a gas cap.
please make me the idiot Humpty Dumpty. The sky is falling. I wanna stay sitting on the wall whining about it and never fall off. If I stay crying on the wall. We win! If I fall off, we need to rebuild again! And that’s tearing the bikes down and building them back up again.
if one has done mods and especially the Acerbis tank upgrade how are we to get recall fixed to satisfy CA DMV for registration ?
im sure theres a few road ridden Acerbis tank guys if not way more mods!
as the title says. it’s not just cornered the market, it’s full 💯% manipulated outcome of advantage in their favor.
women have had all the focus of attention, ALL OF IT, on them for eternity. The stories are already out there, it’s already been determined that you could make a man’s year or his whole life just by simply complimenting his shoes or haircut, that’s how lopsided and imbalanced the market is. men are truly love starved, even married ones, sometimes the married men are the biggest voices saying all the things they do for their wife and she just couldn’t give a fuck to compliment him back, initiate sex once and make him feel desired and wanted.
ladies, you see it, you read it, youre not ignorant to it and you just pretend you didn’t see it, read it, heard it. you are that selfish.
HEY OUTLIERS OVER THERE IN THE NEXT GALAXY- NO ONES TALKING TO YOU. You ladies, all 2 of you total in the whole human race, this post isn’t for you. The 2 that one time ever in their lives that GOT THIS CONCEPT and are good women and have a heart did actually compliment thier man and maybe compliment a guy just walking to work looking good. THIS IS NOT YOUR POST. YOU COUPLE OF YOU >>>>>>>> way over there on the end of the scale, this isn’t for you. so politely, butt out. This is not your time to try and clout farm karma for being the cool civil sharing-the-care human. You’re gonna LOSE your coolness when you try to post here saying women do compliment men and initiate sex and make men feel desired and loved too. becareful- you’re in a good spot here, we like you, but don’t make that tempting mistake to farm clout and try to stick your nose in here, this ain’t for you, WE SEE YOU, yes you 2 are out there, Were aware of you, but this ain’t for you. please spare the intent and don’t DERAIL this post with your comments unless you’re in agreeance and you’re gonna come in here and help women break the mold of hoarding and hogging all the attention.
NOW- back to reality. women say they hate cat calls and unwanted attention and if a man could just feel what it’s like one day being you. DARE US!! I’ll take it! well the. why can’t you women share it since you got such a GROSS OVER ABUNDANCE of it?!? seems damn logical to me? but you’re Bill Gates and Elon Musk- you’re attention TRILLIONAIRES AND STILL DONT SHARE WITH THE NEEDY AND STARVING!!
that’s who you are. you’re the same billion and trillion Aires that you despise for being soo greedy that they don’t share but hoard wealth, you’re bill gates of attention.
since you’re all soo abundant drowning in it, why can’t you share it? I’m asking you the same question you ask and protest your billboard signs EAT THE RICH- well?? What gives?
Final- you complain about all the cat calls and unwanted attention. SIMPLE SOLUTION: ask the guys out that YOU DO LIKE. Stop going on half ass dates with half ass guys that you’re only half assed interested in?!? hello?!? Damn simple monkey logic. Seriously basic 3rd grader 101 remedial shit here ladies. This ain’t even algebra. This is 1+1. but you just hold that grip of attention dynamic like a vice! A sword of power you wield over your head. It’s really quite gross and ugly. When you get to my age and my life experience and it’s not an old one, it’s a very shallow easy goal to get to, you see the gross imbalance And how horrible the injustice is all while the king is crying about it! HOW DARE YOU COMPLAIN!
No one hurt me anymore than hurt you in your relationships, I am just more cool, caring, thoughtful and experienced and insightful than you though.
raised by 4 HIGHLY educated and successful women. Gyno mom, Veterinarian Oldest sis, Superintendent Middle, and dean/Director of dance youngest sis who’s still 3yrs older than me.
so I have more sex Ed than most If you all too. I am that guy that had an over zealous gyno mom cramming pamphlets down my throat by the time I was barely experiencing puberty symptoms. I’m the man you want, you wish for, has the experience(17yr airline employee been around the world a few times and dated women in their respective countries in their respective cultures) so I have seen more and it all and know better than you. There is that human out there. It may just be me. May just not, but just not—not as equally. It’ll take a quite exceptional AND experienced human to have the insight and experience. Just stop with the pathetic -boys can’t find the clit when you all can’t even find your own orgasm on average till you’re 30. 🫵😉 Yes I saved that for last for effect. I wanna see who can not be triggered and actually still discuss the topic and make concessions and come to resolutions. I wanna see who’s got real will power. All the rest of you will just show how sensitive and childish you are lashing out. If you think you got a real thesis as to my immaturity, I’d love to hear it, this isn’t a one way street, I’m open to learning, but you HAVE TO answer my premise of point first. You can’t just sling arrows and try to cut me down without staying on topic, stay on subject, address my points and then add your icing and cherry on top,
go
