My bike is a 24 year old trail bike. It was fine but lately it’s been harder and harder to start while cold, but runs fine and starts fine once warmer up. Could this be because of valves? Or would valves only affect hot starting? I have put about 35 hours on the bike, and I’m not sure how long it’s been since previous owner did valves before I purchased. It was okay up until my 2 most recent trips
What method do you guys use now to send money from the US to Armenia? Money gram charges crazy fees, Haypost as well. Anyone do wire transfer or something?
I’m completely new to this. I have a 2025 Chevy Colorado and I am looking for a small trailer I can take camping. I found the Coleman 13T. It is a toy hauler that also sleeps 4. I have 2 dirtbikes and we are a family of 4, the trailer itself is also light enough for my truck. It seems like the perfect fit. Is there anything I am overlooking regarding this? How are these types of campers usually? I have 0 experience in this field and I was looking for something I can sleep in, cook in, fits the whole family, and keep my bikes in while we travel.
Edit: I am in SoCal so air conditioning is almost mandatory, not sure if anything else regarding the camper is effected given my location
Looking to purchase a YJ for my dad as a gift because he’s been wanting one for years. It will be used for off road (as a jeep should) but will need to be driven on the street/highway to get to the off road places. Anything specific on these cars to look out for? Years to avoid? Engines to avoid? I live in SoCal so rust isn’t a big concern here but of course going to check that too. I’d also be open to a TJ if they would just be much better than the YJ. Thank you in advance
Would any alcohol I consume the night before a donation have a negative effect on my donated blood? Aside from the fact that I may feel dizzier than usual or more weak, could the alcohol ruin the blood I am donating? Say about 1 beer the night before, nothing crazy
Looking into buying a drz400S. Had a 2006 before so I’m aware of the carb overflowing into the engine and the stator bolts coming loose but I sold that bike a while ago. I live in North America so not sure if that makes a difference in the bikes but I read somewhere that the first couple years had something with them that would be better to avoid. Any advice or specifics on that? Any specific years to avoid?
Is there anyone here that legally rides a “supermoto” dirtbike (non street legal) anywhere besides a racetrack? Interested in doing a super moto build but not sure where I’d ride it besides a track as you can’t really off road with them either. Yes I know it’s a very niche and specific question
Looking for an older YZ125X. People saying 2005 and up is the way to go because of the frames. Also I live in Cali so I can’t register a new one to ride on the trails anyway so I’m limited to YZs from 2005 to 2021. Can’t really find an X model that I like from that time period. I was wondering what other bikes exist 2021 or older that are roughly like the YZ125X? Not asking for recommendations, just trying to see what exists. Preferably Japanese bikes. Thank you
2026 RZ350, under 5k miles. I feel like my cabin air filter needs replacement already because there is this smell within the car. Anyone else with an RZ or newer Lexus experience this? Car is only 6 months old, I feel like the filter should last more than 6 months usually no?
Currently have a 4 stroke 125cc bike and I would like to upgrade to a YZ125X. I was wondering what are some things people don’t realize or overlook when it comes to a switch like that? Obviously “don’t forget to mix oil into the fuel” but is there a lot of other things to note too?
I currently have most of my retirement savings in my Chase Roth IRA. I was wondering if there’s a huge difference between keeping it there, putting it in Fidelity, or vanguard or anywhere like that? To be honest most of my investments are in big tech as of now but working on adding more stable things (I’m 21 and thought I could afford that risk a couple years ago and it had paid off so far). “Long term” for me would be like 40 years since I am young. Would the placement make a difference in long term investment?
We have a water softener on our houses water, along with a reverse osmosis system in the kitchen for our drinking water. We noticed some of the tile in the shower is staining green. The water also has a very slight “greenness” according to my family but I didn’t notice that myself. The water softener company says the pipes could be corroding from something and we should contact our water supplier, Los Angeles water and power. What can we do in this case? We regularly maintain the softener according to the correct schedule
I got the letter for registration due for 2 of my vehicles around the same time. Both same color, Chevy, and similar vins. Got mixed up and accidentally paid the one I was going to do a lease return for instead of the one I’m keeping. Registration ends in October for both cars,ease return is also in October. Is there a way I can cancel the one I just paid since I’m going to return it before the current registration expires? Or have the payment be applied to the other vehicle?
How do I microfish for smaller fish? I’m assuming I’d need a smaller rod for convenience and some thin line (maybe 2 pound) and some small hooks. Aside from those, do I use small chunks of worm as bait? Do I wrap some string or something like that around the hooks to resemble a bug? Any advice?
Graduating soon with a bachelors in CS, wondering if it’s possible to go directly into some related law enforcement fields such as computer forensics with my degree or are they more experienced/promotion based?
2025 Colorado, I know it’s 5W30 full synthetic dexos 1. But what specific type do you guys use? I see mobile has advanced clean, extended protection, and a few others. Anything you guys prefer?
Can someone please explain the gps to me😭 I want to use it to show the speed on my bike. I have a hero 13 black. My understanding is I need to turn gps on and wait until the symbol changes color right? Now let’s say that happens and I turn it off, set everything up and hop on the bike. If I turn it on with the action button (button on top) to start recording right away, will the gps be working? Or would I need to turn it on with the power button and wait for it to activate again, then begin recording? Do I need to follow this process for every clip I record as well? And do I need to have any connections on for gps to work or only need the gps feature on? So sorry if this has been discussed a million times I just have some specific questions
I have an asylum interview for my i589 in the Tustin office in Los Angeles. Are these the types of places that ice may just take people from? Or is it other immigration related buildings where this happens? Just extra worried/stressed
Anyone else keep getting this with their 3rd gen? Seems to start happening after the recent update
I’ve gotten to that point where no child should be, but the thought of one or ever both of my parents being deported seems like it may be a reality now. For anyone that experienced this, how do you deal with the mental aspect of it? Like I just can’t think of anything else, hinders my ability to do basic functions. Idk how to proceed
