    Ghostly Adventures from Gecko

    Regarding salton sea race gas i got some last year. You have to go inside and get an attendant. They bring the key and have to pump the gas for you. End up paying at the little office in the back. Huge hassle i cant believe its still down. They told me an entirely different company bought the...

    450 Yamaha Fat Paddle big wheel camp bike

    Well thats good news!!! I havnt checked my race sag in years either. Simple and free adjustment could make for a much nicer ride. When i got a stiffer rear spring i think it was a different color than stock. Could find an online picture of your bike and observe the spring color. Or maybe take a...

    450 Yamaha Fat Paddle big wheel camp bike

    There are some things you can try to make it less harsh over the small bumps. They vary in price, some are free.  1. Fork Air Bleeders. The air gap inside the fork develops pressure from temp changes, altitude, and just from the heat of riding. You can bleed them with a flathead screwdriver, or...

    Flame King portable propane heater

    Yup i agree giving the 6v fan 5v wont harm anything. I ordered from amazon and the first unit was damaged. They sent a replacement and i just finally fired it up last night. Not sure i like the thermostat feature. It causes the propane flame to flutter, and then i believe the device that closes...

    Fuel filters 3.5L Honda

    Thanks again. I watched a video on AN fittings and have a decent idea how they work. Can PTFE hose ends be changed out? If yes, should i reuse the existing collar because its already seated into the hose?  Plan was to buy a 90* adapter. But ideally it would fit better if i could change out that...

    Ghostly Adventures from Gecko

    I think cameras on RVs will become more and more common. I see a lot of positive potential for them. Besides theft, think about how many lost dogs might show up on video and give the owner hope.

    Flame King portable propane heater

    Mr Buddy has been plowing away at keeping people warm for years. Then comes along a competitor by the brand name Flame King. Sounds like a Simpsons episode.  Watched a video on the Flame King and really like it!!! Here are some Pros and Cons i gathered from the vid.   PROS: 1. You can run the...

    Fuel filters 3.5L Honda

    Hi all you duners!! Hoping to get this motor fired up before vets. Hasn't started in over 10 years. I see a sticker that says 3PVF-AA5. They want to go filter, fuel pump, filter. We were about to buy another Bosch F5021, but then wanted to check specs to confirm it can be used on the...

    Carl Weathers stars in "Action Traction".  That thing is like the older brother to my tw200 that went into the marines and came back hard as a rock.

    kids on dirt bikes in the dunes?

    Im with ya great bike!! Its been a few years. Are you familiar with the conversion? I think the big wheel uses a longer swingarm and there is another main component thats different. Possibly front brake related?  If the OP was to go that route i think you want to buy the big wheel and possibly...

    kids on dirt bikes in the dunes?

    This part is awesome!!! Pretty much describes me at a mx track during practice. Little kids on 80s just flying!!! Hitting stuff im not even trying on a 250.  Did you sell the 110s? They do ok in glamis. Even an adult can ride the little dunes on them. Bummer part is they dont use a rim lock on...

    kids on dirt bikes in the dunes?

    Keep it clean man. The sand is pretty rough on stuff. Buy a separate sand machine for the kiddos if you can.

    Trailer mods i like.

    Clean air!! The stock foam filter is a joke. Last summer i used an anemometer to confirm the household filter is not more restrictive when you oversize it.

    How much difference in tire diameter does it take to harm rear diff?

    I heard it was bad for the rear differential if you do long straight highway drives with different size rear tires. Is that even true? Only with limited slip? If true how much difference does it take? I need 1 new tire for a pickup truck. It turns out that if the current tires have worn 1/4" of...

    Modern onboard generator maintenance

    Several months back i was reading about genny maintenance. Wish i could find the thread. There was a guy who seemed very knowledgeable talking about how generators are built out of different materials these days. Running the generator under load once a month was for older technology, even though...
