Chances of front tire exploding next ride
Hello,

Need to rev a little bit to disengage clutch fully.
Hello,
When I fully pull in lever when riding, then sometimes RPM are still holding and not dropping to idle and I need to rev very little so clutch properly disengage. When I don't rev it then it takes likes 2-5 seconds until it frees and drops to idle. Might sound like lean condition, but I jetted more on rich side for testing. I reverse bleed my hydraulic clutch just in case of air bubbles and lever is working fine, good consistent pull.
I think problem might be caused by grooves in clutch basket maybe? Is there anything else that could cause this?
Also clutch plates are very differently "orientated", one is higher than other, one is visibly more to left side, some are more to right side and so on. Is this normal?
In that video why is that second plate moving back and forward twitching like that?
Thanks for newbie help and sorry for bad english.

2 stroke - Gold shavings in transmission oil
Hello guys, I'm not sure, but I have been looking at it long time and it looks like gold colored shavings in my 2stroke transoil. On drain plug magnet there were silver shavings as usual, but inside oil is this. I change oil every 8-10MTH
What could it be from and what parts should I check out? It can't be crank, since it is separated from transmission oil in 2strokes right?
Thank you for tips.

Max value extracted from raid stat missing
Hello, I saw this in release notes, but I can't find it anywhere in game.. am I blind or they didn't add it in the end?
"After a raid ends, you can view the Highest Extraction Value for that raid—the one who extracted with the most loot might not actually have the highest value."
Thank you

Cylinder nikasil clapped?
Hello, I was changing exhaust orings and noticed my cylinder wall on carb side looks like this, piston on exhaust side doesn't look bad, I can still see original "texture" and few scratches only.
My bike doesn't smoke at all, like if there would be leaking head gasket.
My compression on WOT cold engine is still 160PSI riding good (125cc 2stroke).
I don't have much experience and couldn't find any images of good vs bad nicasil cylinder. Is this normal wear or beyond bad? I suppose I should take my head off and try to stratch it with my fingernail if its getting catch?
I'm just hobby riding I don't need to have perfect compression and stuff, but of course I don't want to seize it haha.
Thanks for bad or good news

ws-zylinder eBay piston+cylinder kits - scam?
Hello, does anyone have experience trying out this german ebay seller? It might look like a scam, because when I go into that website from watermark in photos, then they sell it for 430EUR not only 260EUR. They have a lot of good reviews though.

Can't take off front brake "pin" KTM
Hello, am I tripping or someone like welded this piece of metal on my front brake iinstead of using bolt clips (there are none)? These are no bolt clips and I can't move it either way. It should be possible of course if that metal thing wasnt there (third photo)?

Unable to create developer testing app
I just came here to say I have never seen worse developer portal. I spent like 4 hours and achieved nothing always getting errors and getting redirected to production website. The bigger the company the more broken are their solutions. Always getting some errors with no help.
My 27th try creating DEV shipment account 😉 Good job UPS.
Any tips other than switching to another shipping company?

Loud metal knocking kicking to kickstarter and front sprocket. 2 stroke
Hello,
it got hot outside for first time around 30°C / 86°F outside and I was riding in the woods as usual. I wasn’t even pushing the bike that hard, but while going up a steep hill and slipping the clutch a lot, it started making a loud metallic knocking noise coming from maybe between kickstarter and clutch.
The knocking was directly related to RPM, but it knocked was less than how fast motor spins. It didn’t matter if the bike was in neutral, in gear, clutch pulled in or released, the noise stayed the same. It felt like something was kicking back into the kickstarter because I could feel strong impacts through it with my fingers. Also, when the bike was in neutral, the front sprocket was rocking back and forth slightly.
The clutch cover was extremely hot, maybe even hotter than the cylinder. I waited for the bike to cool down, but the knocking never stopped.
When I finished pushing bike home, I changed the transmission oil. It had about 8 MTH on it and actually looked clean. Before changing the oil, the rear wheel was also extremely hard to rotate by hand while the bike was on the stand in neutral. After the oil change, the rear wheel spun normally again.
I left the bike overnight, and the next day the knocking was completely gone. Since then I’ve ridden another 2MTH without any problems or noises.
Any ideas what could have caused this? I usually run around 10 hours on my gearbox oil without issues. Maybe the clutch just got extremely hot and something started knocking because of that? Unfortunately I don’t have a video of knocking. On idle it was knocking like 1-2 times per second.

KTM 125 2stroke very sensitive to temperature
Hello, is it normal that early 2000 production 125cc 2stroke with Keihin carb are so sensitive to temperature that I can't even believe it? It is slowly starting to anger me, when I see my buddies with 300cc run same jetting all the time and it runs great.
For example:
15 celsius - I set perfect jetting. Next day 20 celcius - Smoking a lot, doesn't go at all, sounds like too much fuel = gotta change main jet, needle by half clip with help of washer. Also pilot jet, but I dont care about that much, since I ride high RPM
Next day 26 celcius - guess what? Rejetting. and it goes on and on
Idle is too low - I fix it mid ride and then I ride more agresivelly and it changes idle so much, so I have to turn it down. After few minutes of engine cooling idle needs to be rised up again, so it doesnt die
Got to a point where I have table with temperatures 0-30 celcius and jetting settings and I need to change it before 80% of rides. It doesn't take much time to rejet when Im changing only needle and main jet, but still..
Thanks for clarification
