Looking to buy a mighty max. I'm assuming its frame, but is it welded or something I can take off and replace? This truck has surface rust everywhere else there is rust. Nothing this severe. Should I stay away? It runs and shifts nice. This is my main concern
I’ve been planning a trip from Istanbul to Japan on motorbike only (taking ferries as well). Maybe go off course and hit a few bucket list countries. I may go around Europe for a while before that as well.
Planning on riding no longer than 8-10 hours per day between destinations, carrying tools and parts as well.
I have never ridden a K100 of any sort, but from the research I’ve done, it’s looking like my main option. People say it’s very reliable as long as maintained properly.
You can’t really find any in Türkiye, so I’ve been looking in Germany for them and they’re everywhere. Would like to pick one up from there, service it and ride back to Istanbul. You also don’t come across many RT/LT models either. A sacrifice I’m naively willing to make.
I’d of course get the bike, do full tune up, change old hoses, parts, etc
Problems I’ve found about the bikes:
Old crankcase vent hose causing vacuum leak
Thermostat stuck open
TPS sensor malfunctioning
CO2 adjustment screw
Water temp sensor
Of course I’m going to properly inspect the bike and getting it to optimal condition. Prepared for things to go wrong anyway, as depending on which I find, could be a 30-40 year old bike.
Can’t recall exactly what they are, but I know BMW fixed a bunch of issues with the 91+ year models.
I’ve really come to like the bike. I’ve grown up around BMWs my whole life and when looking into bikes, you can’t imagine my face when I saw that BMW of all companies made a “Legendarily Reliable” motorcycle. Im looking for test rides to see if I like how it feels in the meantime. I’d love to get more insight and see what else I’m missing and what to look out for, or just don’t do it. I honestly don’t care about breaking down. So long as it’s not often. I have an E34, and that was my daily for 2 years. Would break down, but understood how to get it back up everytime. I’m very resourceful and patient. All part of the adventure.
Thank you for all insight and info in advance.
CONTEXT:
I know almost nothing about PCs.
My PC was built and gifted to me in 2016. It barely runs anything now.
It's full tower, i.e massive. I'm moving out of the US and want something small so it doesn't take up space, easy to transport and I want to be able to run anything smoothly. I've used PC part picker and read through other peoples builds but it's all gibberish to me and pcpartpicker keeps saying incompatible when I choose any motherboard with another CPU.
Here's what I have:
- DDR4 64GB RAM (gifted to me before the price spike) - Didn't make a difference. Friend said my CPU and Motherboard are just old.
- GTX 1080 GPU - Has 3 fans, says Republic of Gamers on it.
- I think 850W PSU.
- Corsair water-cooling system. Idk which.
- ASRock Motherboard - Idk which
- Whatever the higher end intel i7 cpus back in 2016 were.
Was also recently told I have to reapply thermal paste every 2-3 years or smth. I have never done that.
It's full tower, i.e massive. I'm moving out of country and want something small so it doesn't take up space, easy to transport and I want to be able to run anything smoothly.
What I need is a case, motherboard, cpu, and cooling. I think GPU too. I think my GPU won't fit a mini itx case. Idk, something like a 1080 or generally older works. I just don't want a slow pc. Mines been slow for the past 5 years.
I like the fractal terra case, but only because it looks better than the others I've seen. Would love suggestions on others too.
I've got a $700 budget, and don't mind getting used parts like a case or smth. Idm spending another $300 if it means I can run Distant Horizons + Shaders on Minecraft with less issues. That's just a benchmark I wanna use for intensive hardware use.
Idk if I could get ethernet in the apartment, so WiFi motherboard would be safer.
