There’s a 2019 FTR base with 8,000 miles, no wrecks, exhaust, PV3, and fuel moto tune, seller wants 6k for it. I’m new to this bike. I had an MT-09 a few years back I enjoyed, this bike is priced about 2500 less than all the others I’ve seen. Good deal? Anything I should be aware of? Like I know triumph triples have a very expensive maintenance requirement at 12,000 miles…which is why I see tons of them for sale with 10-12k miles on them…

I have an LG refrigerator with the bottom freezer ice maker. It’s about 4 years old now and the tray had gotten where it wouldn’t dump the ice anymore so it was just piling up and making a mess so I bought a new one. I installed it and pressed the test button, it did its cycle and filled up with water then dumped that and never filled back up water.
I tried the reset button again and it never filled back up with water. I turned it off and on and even unplugged the fridge, it would never trigger the water again (also the freezer is at 5 degrees). So I took it back out and unplugged the ice maker and plugged it back in. I pressed the reset button and it cycled and filled with water just like it did the first time I installed it, dumped that ice and never filled back up with water.

I just don’t know what else to try at this point aside from order another ice maker and try again.

I’ve been shopping for a Street Triple and have 3 good options to pick from from 3 very different flavors. I’ll add that I have pretty crappy roads, no mountains, and closest track is 5 hours away. So mainly just commuting with the occasional fast curve whenever opportunity presents itself.

1. 2013 Street Triple 675

ABS.

1. No frills just super clean with 9000 miles, lots of extras like bags and some leathers that’s never seen the pavement (should fit too) It also has an exhaust. $4,200
2. 2018 765 RS. 11,700 mi super clean zero modifications. I think I can get it for 6,000 maybe a little less.
3. 2020 765R 4,700 miles, super clean, has exhaust and a few little extras. I think I can get it for 6,200

I had a budget of 5,000 and I really think I’d be happy on either of these, just wondering if with the way I ride would ever benefit from spending the extra money on one of the 765’s

Also I do have some gear already, so that’s not part of the budget.

Thanks

I have two used bikes in my sights, one is a 15k mile very well maintained 2014 675r or for 800 more a 9k mile 2018 765 rs. Which would you buy? I’m leaning towards the 765 but I know I’d be happy with either bike.

Update: finally got the owner of the 765 to call me and we’ve come to terms. I’m meeting tomorrow, I’ll update with a pic when I get back, thank you for the input.

I have a REDTIGER f7np I’ve owned for about 14 months. I have a 2023 GMC Sierra. I powered this through the mirror power adapter kit and cable. Has worked great the past 14 months. Yesterday at lunch when the truck powered it up, it turned off. I tried different cords in different ports of the truck and nothing. I get home and plug it into a power adapter in the wall and it works. So I took that power adapter and plugged it into my trucks 110 outlet and it works. I plugged my camera into my wife’s Yukon usb port and it came on. For some reason MY trucks USB ports won’t turn on this camera anymore. They do still charge my phone so I know they’re working. It’s just really weird that all of a sudden they stopped and that it works everywhere else. The ONLY thing I can imagine is maybe there is an issue with the apple play handshake or whatever and it’s not sending the proper voltage…anyone experienced this?

Bought a 2002 Sahara recently that had the factory D44 with 3.73 gears in the rear. It also had the “use limited slip oil” tag on the diff cover. I decided to change the rear oil this weekend and it has an open carrier in it. I was a little bummed to see that, just wondering why it would have had the oil tag on it…?

It doesn’t LOOK as it’s ever been swapped out but then again why would you swap from a posi to an open? A little confused.

A gentleman nearby has what he claims is all original, aside from wear items like tires and brakes and carb rebuilds etc, but the engine, tank, wheels, exhaust etc is original to the bike. It has 16k miles on it and it looks really nice (sorry no pics to share). He says it’s ready to ride, has new tires, and will fire right up and take you where you want to go. It’s the beautiful orange color with the gold and black stripes. He wants 3400 firm, worth it?

PS he said for any less he will just keep it, he’s had it listed for a couple months now for 3600.

As title states, the roof panel on my 81 F150 had a couple of dings in it but when I got to working on it it’s suuuuper wavy, highs and lows everywhere like someone beat all over the roof over the years.

I’m not skilled enough to sort this out so here’s what I’m considering, use filler on the really bad spots (the noticeable dings) then roll on some filler primer really thick and sand it with a long block and just call it done.

Good news is that it is on a really tall truck so you’re not going to see it unless you’re standing in the bed or looking down from a second story. It don’t need to be perfect but it needs to be better.

I welcome other ideas.
