Good and bad news bros, work crush told me I was “hot” but said I “seem to be too good” for her given her “current situation” (whatever that means) no goth qt for me ig.

>>28528162
Bro you could easily work that

>>28528162
how do you fumble that brother what the fuck, you didn't chase after that???

>>28528162
What a strange thing to say.

so what, get a honda or a ducati to get pussy? how the fuck are these guys making it?

>>28528162
I was hoping to read the newspaper of your untimely murder by goth qt.

>>28528166
She is living with her ex apparently according to my former associate
>>28528169
I don’t chase if it’s not an absolute “fuck yes!” from the chick.

>>28528162
>seem to be too good for her given her current situation
shes either insecure or has something going on with a current partner either way move on bitches like that aren’t worth the time or effort

>>28528139

>mfw FB marketplace is full of people selling clapped out 2000's-era XR's, DR's, and DRZ's for 5+ grand

I might as well just fucking buy new. It'd only be 1 grand more expensive and I wouldn't have to wonder if the previous owner had done anything absolutely retarded to it

>>28528061
Nah, the 300 crf if that was your question. I think i would like a comfier ride. There isn't much to do offroad around me and I would appreciate something I can go farther on.

>>28528141
Maybe. The bike is serving me well enough for now and I appreciate the fact that it can kinda go anywhere. I'll look around more and see what appeals to me.

When stopping and or shopping somewhere where do you leave your helmet? Are there locks for it?

>>28528231
>do i have to secure my shit
nope, not at all

>>28528231
I was leaving it on the ground but I took it into my Dr appt and the nurse legit wanted to fuck me right there partially because I ride a motorcycle so I'ma bring it in with me now

>>28528179
>living with her ex
lmao think of it this way anon shes probably seething now that she’s currently tied down financially to a Joe that she isn’t with, only for a Chad on a Ducati to come in and asked her out kek the absolute state of women today. don’t lose hope anon, shes got a mid-tier likely possessive house sitter shes gotta get away from before she comes to you lol.

>>28528239
I'm looking into getting my permit, MSD cour and license in Illinois. I live in shitcago, I need to secure everything just shy of strapping the bike to my leg.

>>28528244
You can get a bike with a locking top box or locking panniers. Or even a Honda with a frunk

>>28528155
Don't call r3 a tranny, final warning

>>28528231
I just bring mine with me, if I’m shopping for small items it’s like a basket.
>>28528170
Yeah idk if it’s because shes living with her ex or something else. She seemed sad about saying that though. Not my problem either way.

>>28528345
A new DRZ400 is like 7-8 grand, I'm not looking at the DRZ4S. People are selling 2007-2010 DRZ's for like 5 or 6 and justifying the prices because of all the mods they've slapped on. Even seen a few XR650's and DR650's from 2002-2014 being placed for sale at 5k+.
I understand that dual sports retain their value, but I think asking almost MSRP for a 10+ year bike is fucking ridiculous

>>28528231
I carry it unless one of my friends lets me throw it in their car

>>28528361
Don't forget the damn dealer fees though. Shit's outrageous.

Pro tip: just get a squirt bottle full of water and keep it hitting it over and over, let it soak and eventually the water pressure should get it off after enough water has soaked through
Takes like 5 minutes to do but beats smearing

Years ago I got with a girl who was "just living with her ex until she could get her own place." Turned out she hadn't told him that he was "her ex" now and was just cheating with me at the start, but I didn't figure that out until after we'd dated and lived together for almost 5 years and then she did the same thing to me, and afterwards a mutual friend talked to her ex and compared notes.

Just got my hands on an '04 honda silver wing for a grand. No outstanding problems and the title is clean outside of a replaced motor. This is my first "bike" that I own and I plan to get rid of it when I can afford a car. Any tips, tricks, and what to expect? I heard its great for beginners and I could even take it on the highway if I ever plan to travel out of state.

>>28528392
Yep. Classic monkey branching. Always gotta read between the lines with what a woman says if it sound weird and doesn't make sense.

>>28528412
>This is my first "bike" that I own and I plan to get rid of it when I can afford a car.
Why? You're not gonna get more for it than you paid for it, and the bike is a classic. Just keep it.

>>28528439
I think I have worked with too many Indians to trust them to make a motorcycle.

>>28528439
Crazy to see how far a brand can fall

Yamaha motorcycles are the most customizable bikes out there, people invest their time and their money into those these, this is because Yamaha is the best maker and it's worth it.

>>28528441
>>28528450
Unfortunate, I like how they look and there's been a good amount of YT reviews saying they're actually pretty good and reasonably priced. Jeet distrust does run deep for a good reason tho

>>28528453
That's like, I've been looking at Nortons for a minute now and at this point I'd rather try out making one of those "hortons" rather than dealing with indian made engines in cool British frames.
instead I'll get a cool British frame with an american boneshaker.

TVS makes bikes for BMW. Norton is not lost.

>>28528470
My kurobaex has issues now. Kuroba is not maintained anymore.

>>28528472
What? TVS makes the indian bmw shitbike. How is Norton not lost?

>>28528474
TVS used to be TVS-Suzuki, they are known for quality over here. Much higher quality compared to KTM 390s and Royal Enfields. Enfield even hired TVS people to improve their quality. I'd presume that's why BMW chose them to make 310 and 450 with them. Norton being owned by TVS is a good thing IMO.

>>28528473
KurobaEx works fine for me with a pass.

>>28528474
>>28528477
The 310 is actually fine as an MSF bike. It's just comically underpowered for American highways.

>>28528477
>over here
>Norton being owned by TVS is a good thing IMO
Ah yes, what great news it is that a historically British brand is being made in a 3rd world country.
This is why 3rd worlders will never have the self awareness to correct their own state. They don't understand heritage or soul.

>>28528478
>The 310 is actually fine as an MSF bike
No it's not. If it were at all "fine" it wouldn't be assembled by some SEA monkeys for some irrelevant currency/hour wage.

India is not the same as China anon. I have family members Woking in these car / motorcycle factories. They earn enough to own houses, cars, put their kids though private school and lead a normal life. These factories even boast about being green. Not that I'm going to convince anyone about anything, India has top 10 GDP, top 10 military in the world and things are rapidly only getting better.

>>28528486
>I have family members Woking in these car / motorcycle factories
Yeah I can tell
That's great they can own Maruti Suzuki's and send their kids to ESL school so they can abandon their country in 5 years, move to Canada, and fail to make it and end up moving back to the Indian shithole they came from.
>and things are rapidly only getting better.
If you unironically believe this, you haven't been paying attention.
Indians are the sole race that everyone hates. Even lefty teenagers dunk on your shithole.

>>28528479
TVS has won Dakar in one of the classes and they have racing programs in India for smaller classes. They have racing pedigree if that's what you meant by soul. The company has been manufacturing bikes since 1976 and its older than that.

>>28528486
>India has top 10 GDP, top 10 military in the world
lmao. this is literally just a numbers game. India's attempting to out Ponzi scheme China, which hasn't worked for centuries now.
You're country is lucky it hasn't been nuked yet

What you retards will never learn is that no matter what you do, everyone will always be disgusted by your monkey level of humanity.

>>28528487

Anyone who read this itt, read it in an Indian accent.

>>28528492

Any thoughts on a honda hornet 919 as a first bike? Only things I've heard about it are the carbed models being a little touchy with the throttle input, but other than that, I've ridden a lot of other vehicles with power and it seems like the 919 is just a better bike than the cb600f overall. My other choice was an sv650 but I'm not the biggest fan of the vtwin. I had considered a katana 600 for a little while but it seems like they're a little old by now for the most part and its hard to find a newer one in good condition, and I doubt it'd be easy to sell once I grew out of it. There's 2 or 3 919's under $3k near me though, so I figure I might pull the trigger on one anyway. I'll mostly be commuting on it and probably do a handful of rides over 2 hours, so I like the idea of a comfortable seating position too

>>28528578
Get a cb300r or cb500r. 919 will take you straight to god.

>>28528581
I think it would be better if he meets god early.

>can order part from europe or american dealers no worries
>ask local dealers

>just needs to be delivered to the dealer
>monday comes around
>streets around the dealer are shut down because of a concert

It feels like god is trying real hard to keep me away from this bike. If the dealer doesn't receive it by today I doubt I will even have it by saturday.

>>28528617
Thats the bit that really irks me. I've worked in the industry and I know that you can place special orders for that sort of stuff at a cost. Its just that computer says no and thats the end of it now.

>>28528642

>>28528578
Yes if you want to meet jesus

>>28528728
It doesn't even make 100hp to the rear wheel, and it weighs around the same as an sv650. Its not even as bad as starting on a 600, and a lot of people start on 600s, especially in the US. I just wanted to know if anyone had experience with a 4 cylinder cb of a similar gen. Current midweight parallel twins are making almost the same figures. Its not a naked fireblade

You can run a chain lock theough a full face helmet with the visor up. Obviously, you do have to take any electronics off if you leave it attached to the bike, so it may just be less hassale to carry it, or to get a tail bag/box big enough to store it.

30yo boomer in UK, tall, just passed my CBT. I'd like to ride around on L plates for at least a few months to get a feel for riding, develop good habits.
I'm poor and don't own a bike yet. I have decent, full gear.

I'm mechanically competent and have my own tools. I have worked on engines before, but not bikes.

I want a Varadero 125 but the ones I see advertised below £1500 are rusted out shitters. That's still the - medium term - aim.

To reiterate - I'm completely fucking skint atm for reasons, so is there some ancient piece of shit I can pick up for under a grand to dick around on and work on in the meantime?

Any recommendations?

>>28528909
Note: for those not in the UK, or just because I didn't actually write it: 125cc

wait what the fuck

WR IS BACK?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zs9BV-CY1vQ


TNAK YOU ONSA, I LOVE YOU!

>>28528706
WR has normal intervals like any other street bike afaik, it's YZ needs a new oil every 6 hours.

>>28528909
You are on the right track with the based and reliable old honders

I assume you are a tallish anon and thats why you are looking at varaderos?

You should be able to pick up a running XR125 for around 1k (still taller rider friendly) there are plenty of parts available online and plenty of info

CLR125 (Honda cityfly) similar to the XR only less "off road" styling
CG125
CB125s
CBF125s /yamaha YZF125s(more the sportier looking ones, look rather uncomfy for general 125 riding tbqh)
Yamaha YBRs are cheap and plentiful

Avoid all the chink shit no matter how good of a deal it is or how little miles it has, they are ALL shit

Pic rel, its my based and quality NXR125 (its the same as an XR125 but with drums front and rear because that's is more "rugged" apparently)

I thought you nigges said it was discontinued

>>28528909
At that price you're mostly looking at Chinese bikes, and not the good kind, and scooters. With some searching you can probably get a decent condition YBR or CBF.

What is more fun WR450F or MT-07?

>>28528909
you'd be better off getting a bike thats easier to sell on once youve done the rest of your licence. i wouldn't pass up a varadero if it was local and the price is right, but at the same time theres surely a dozen ybr's in fair condition within 10 miles of you for less money and it wont be as much of a pain to find parts, as you know varaderos are fairly rare: https://www.howmanyleft.co.uk/vehicle/honda_xl_125_v

>>28528934
Thanks. Yeah, I'm 6'4" so not looking like a total prick on a 125 is a consideration. I'm pretty rural but it's still mostly commuting etc on A/B roads I'd be looking at.
>>28528939
>>28528943
Cheers, yeah. That's what I'm thinking re selling it on, which is part of the appeal of a semi-project, while I'm waiting around anyway. Cleaning carbs and replacing wear items is one thing, I can't be arsed with large amounts of rust and the cost of significant suspension repairs. Maybe the budget isn't realistic?
Is trying to find an old 125 Honda that isn't completely rusted a very bad idea ?

>>28528934
Thanks for the bike recs btw - I'll try and look at some geometry for them. Like that NXR!

>>28528951
>Is trying to find an old 125 Honda that isn't completely rusted a very bad idea ?

Not at all anon, they run forever , 6'4 on a cg125 or cub90 would look rather mad tbqh kek

>>28528923
No we want the R one

>>28528958
I'd absolutely love a C90, but for like the first 15 miles until the meme wore off

>>28528935
The wr250r is discontinued, the F is not.

Who was at fault here realistically?

>>28528598
Your country doesn't matter to them.

>>28528942
Gsx8s, CB750, Duke 790, 890 whatever you like.

>>28528764
Still too much. First bike should really be 50-70bhp. You will fuck up on your first serious bike, you dont want something that will launch you into the afterlife.

This thing doesnt put out that much more than 100bhp

>>28528942
I'd have to say 450, it's just a wild animal (less so than most 450's tbf whereas yhe mt-07 is just a good solid naked bike. Not bad by any means but alittle more vanilla

>>28528923
Rip wr, he was a good nonner

>>28528968
>>28528991
what is the difference?

>>28529123
The 450 and 250f are YZ motors and frames with different cams, electric start, little stuff like that that makes them very fast play bikes, but they're still maintenance intensive. The wr250r was an entirely different engine and frame built to be street legal everywhere, with a very long valve check interval, overgrown charging system, load bearing subframe, passenger pegs, turn signals, and a 3000 mile oil change.

>>28529137
I don't understand. I thought YZ was meant for racing and WR is just a street version with normal intervals

>>28529137
>>28529145
As I understand it, WR has a different engine and gear ratio (wr meaning wide ratio) to make it more streetable

>>28528031 (OP)
Any of you guys ever own an FZ6R? Reviews from the time seem to rate it roughly on par with the Ninja 650, but the main complaint I've read is that it's really top heavy. Is the weight distribution that bad?

>>28529145
Yz and wr-f are dirtbike intervals
Wr250r is gone but it was a dualsport like klx or Crf but better

>>28528392
Damn dude that sounds awful. Here in Colorado Springs that happens a lot with military spouses when their victim gets deployed. Dating sucks here.

>>28529185
this is basically a cbr650r but from yamaha

>>28529220
it was better because it had no vibrations

>>28529228
You rode one? Was it very top heavy?

>>28529151
>>28529151
That was only the wr250r. The F models do have a wide ratio gearbox, hence the WR name , but they are basically YZ engines with different cams.

I just spent nearly $3000 after taxes on helmets

>>28529284
Why so many helmets bro

>>28529285
Just two actually. One is an alien predator one for cool points and the other is a Pista gp rr

>>28528716
Sorry, I misread your post
New England is pretty bad, but even some Canadians ride year round. I hear you though, have to be a special kind of individual to put yourself through winter on a bike north of the mason Dixon

>>28529288
Do you have Down syndrome

>>28529288
Post predator helmet

>>28529302
No
>>28529305
I can once it arrives. Pic related is what it's supposed to look like but we'll see.

I don't really see how you can spend more than 500 on a decent helmet beyond brand stuff, especially for normal street use. Is there really that much of a difference between a 4000 dollar and 500 dollar Arai protection wise in regards to normal use? Real question btw, I legitimately don't know.

>>28529308
Bro don't. Please

>>28529310
>proection wise
Could be. Usually shell material which matters a lot
>otherwise
Often it's sound dampening and comfort/features. Shuberth costs a lot because they have a whole sound studio dedicated to testing designs for quiet helmets, for instance

Please don't wear that. Please please please send that thing back.

>>28529328
its the gayest shit imaginable, especially for that price

I'd sing a different tune if it wasn't upwards of 900+ dollars my friend.

But honestly your move your groove and all that. Hope you have the physique to rock that shit.

I am a new rider and own a brand new z500 SE 2025

I want to buy a radiator guard, tank grips, phone holder and maybe an aftermarket exhaust

Should i just buy original guard and grips from kawasaki or can you guys recommend where to look for, what brands are good? What phone holders are good? I keep getting bombarded by quadlock ads

Im in EU if that matters

ps FAQ pastebin link is down

another day, no pussy

>>28529308
Lmao, what do you ride?
>inb4 supercub

Should I replace the stock silencers of my bike with a pair of these?
The stock ones "work", they leak, are banged and dented up and look like shit to be honest, but they work.
The bike sounds okay with them, but I really love the deep low rumble of my Gucci and started to want something similar on my Ural.
These turnout exhausts have zero muffler shit in them, they're basically just straight pipes and was wondering if it would just be obnoxiously loud with them.
Would it be worth it to weld up my manifold pipes with these things? It's an oneway trip if I do it and those manifold pipes aren't cheap.

>>28529357
My first bike was a grom, which I still have and ride depending on the mood. I had an R7 for awhile too but got rid of it and now i'm mainly riding a sportster s. I got a pretty good deal on it and it's enjoyable to ride desu.

>>28529364
what bike?
some bikes sound awful straight piped.

>>28529348
Congrats on the bike. Cant speak to the rest but quadlock are def the best phone mounts.

>>28529367
My IMZ Ural

What exactly is stopping me from just getting a new permit every year and avoiding my test forever? I don't ride at night so that's not an issue really.

>>28529370
Sounds pretty gnarly, up to you if you wanna put up with the straight pipe life for long miles.

>>28529375
Sounds like a lot more work and money compared just doing the test. The test is pretty easy, babies can do it.

>>28528031 (OP)
got my hands on a Supercharged 125cc scoot
been a month and put 1000km on it already
love this thing, has no issues keeping up w/ any traffic

why dont more small bikes have superchargers, its goated

>>28529379
>Ural
>Long miles
Lol, lmao even. The exhaust won't be a bother when you're mostly pushing the bike.
That being said I'm not really sure if I want to nigger up my Ural that badly.
I like loud bikes, but obnoxiously loud doesn't sound cool, just obnoxious.

>>28529385
Whip the baffles out the current exhaust see how loud it is.

>>28529391
There's no baffles really, it's just a "cigar" filled with wool, surrounding a perforated pipe.
You need to cut the silencers open to remove the wool if you want to nig them up.
I've heard old flatheads with emptied out cans and they sound mighty fine without being obnoxiously loud.
The flatheads in general sound frankly beautiful.

>>28529348
I like quad lock for phone mounts, mine has served me pretty well.
Maybe look into evotech-performance for guards.

Why are Harleys so expensive? What makes some of them cost more than BMW K1600 with thrice as many cylinders? What makes the cheapest ones cost more than comparable Honda Rebel?

thinking about selling my 04 Z1000 for something newer. love the bike and have put a lot of work into it, owned it for like 12 years now. a lot of fun to ride, but its got almost 40k miles now and i can afford something much nicer.

thinking about aprilia RS/tuono 660, some kind of KTM, ducati hyperstrada/hypermotard, yamaha R7, etc.

what else should i think about? maybe looking to spend 10k or less but might go over

>>28529412

>>28529412
Thats why theyre going bust, theyre a t shirt company now.

thinking about this its been up for awhile

>Valve clearance checks are recommended every 1800 miles (3000 km) or approximately every 30 hours, and full top-end rebuilds are suggested around every 50 hours

What's the single best do it all motorbike? The standard GS?

>>28529504
Prob this atm

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Fn6K_DsIMB4&

>>28529504
Define "do it all". ADV bikes are the crabs of the motorcycle world for a reason.

>>28529512
I knew someone was going to post the tenere but it's simply not powerful for its weight. Desert sled or f900gs and AT are all better all-rounders

>>28529512
That's just the cheapest

>>28529517
In that case

>>28529526
Definitely good performance but dimensionally huge and the heat is immense. Even the cylinder deactivation doesn't help that much.

>>28529504
Maybe an oddball choice, but how about an Africa Twin? Way better on pavement than something like a T7, enough power to be fun, good enough off road for 99% of people, has all the stuff you'd want for touring, and what really puts it over the top is Honda reliability and their dealer network.

Ok bros, all packages hqve arrived. Time to break the bike and become a hasbike again

>>28529532
Ryanf9 chose it as his rtw bike.

Id probably go with the Africa twin

>>28529544
You shouldn't be allowed near a motorcycle with tools

I won’t be able to afford an r6 until the 2027 riding season
It’s over

>>28529514
ADV bikes are pigfat. Give me one good reason to get one over a 500cc beta or KTM dualsport with a rally tower and bigger fuel tank.

>>28529574
Maintenance intervals, comfort, cargo capacity, touring-oriented features (cruise control, ABS, etc.), ability to do 85mph for hours on end without making you hate your life.

>>28529543
>>28529568
Yeah it's definitely close

>>28529578
>can’t name one reason an ADV bike is better

>>28529574
Adv bikes are way better on the road. KTM 500 would be a way better trail bike thoughbeit. I had a drz it sucked at everything

>>28529574
Weight isn't bad. It's bad in the extremes. When a bike is too light it is uncomfortable at high speeds for extended periods. When it's too heavy it's unwieldy at low speeds.

>>28529569
You shouldnt be allowed near a keyboard either but here we are

And yeah axle wont loosen and keeps spinnin, vice grips wont lock it in hmmm what to do

>>28529596
Weight is bad offroad.

>>28529544
glad to hear about the parts shooms. make sure to post wrenching pics

>>28529619
Definitely. But if the bike is light enough, it's better to haul/tow it to the dirt than ride it there.

>>28529639
>4cyl
Nah. A big twin always does the job better outside of a fast track

>>28528578
As a previous owner of a fuel injected 2002 I probably would not recommend it as a first bike. Even its smaller brother 599 would probably not be ideal. Good bike though. Considered a parts bike but better than the sum of it's parts imo. I had upgraded the front end with F4i forks and modified the rearsets and had sato titanium slip-on cans with a pc3. The bike is a bit under 600cc hp with more torque and no wind protection. Figure running low 11's with it. Again...great bike and I sometimes regret selling it but for a new rider it might make you shit your pants and meet Jesus. I didn't find the throttle too touchy but I also owned a literbike so the bike was a bit underwhelming as far as power. I did beat some 600's with it but a newer one with a good rider would show me his taillight.

Normalize rockstar parking.

Sure how the fuck do i overcome the fact my axle slider blocks sheared to fuck and will only spin? I cant untorque my axle lugnut anymore, just spins bros ;_;
Im struggling this one piece of shit, cant start any other work without this cunt motherfuck out of the way
Vice grips / pipe wrench wont hold a quarter inch and already sheared piece of shit aluminum

Fuck do you even do here boys???

protip you don't need:
abs
ride modes
tft display
hydraulic clutch
traction control
quick shifter
etc
just ride the fucking bike and get gud noob

>>28529684
try to wedge the thing stationary

>>28529689
What do you mean?

>>28529684
KTM?
how did you manage this?
you know the nut is supposed to be tightened with only 90 nm right?

you might get away with a strong impact wrench, worst case crack the NUTT

>>28529684
This>>28529689

worst case scenario just just hammer the mf if you already have the spare part

>>28529694
Crf450rl
The axle slider blocks sheared a bit a few weeks back when i was doing basic chain adjustment and ive never overtorqued it, this was when loosening
I limped back to here with about 75% what it was normall torqued and just sat here waiting for parts
It doesnt matter the nut part, the whole thing spins because those cocksucking sliderblocks have a 1/4inch aluminum which is shear noe, and the flat part of the axle is supposed to stay stationary within them
Thats why im at a loss of how to get this cunt out.

And i dont have an impact on me here

>>28528031 (OP)
https://www.harborfreight.com/heavy-duty-chain-breaker-66488.html

is there a better Chain Breaker tool?

>>28529698
If i hammer out the axle sliders, how do i remove said axle sliders after the fact
I do not have a spare axle but i couls get one if neccessary i suppose

I just dont see how removing it without getting this fucking axle lugnut off is going to do me qny favours unless i swapped rear tires lmfao

>>28529703
i have the motion pro chain breaker. works pretty good.

>>28529703
Thats not how you use that tool!!

>>28529684
share pics from opposite side of wheel

it is t-minus 24 hrs until my bike is back from the shop inshallah
I am moling on the fror and flothing at the louth

>>28529693
The axle spins because the block is cooked but you might be able to wedge something in between the axle and block to force it stationary while you break the nut loose. Wedge something between the upper left (flathead/drift/chisel/etc) edge of the axle and the block and lower right edge between the block and axle. Push in and even out at the same time tightly while someone breaks the nut loose. Recruit a friend to hit the nut while you and maybe even another gorilla wedge into those corners with something. The block is already cooked so who cares if you have to gouge into it to get a good purchase

>>28529686
>you don't need abs
Stay jelly, fat boy

Ive tried that already but idk what elae is left to try and pry into this cunt mother fuck
And yeah ive alreqdy tried that with all my yools avail including the ones you listed, there is nothing left for this mother fucker to grip without shearing more off the axle block slider
Literally theres nothing thin enough to stick it feela like, theyve all slipped and worsened the availabe space to grip from more shearing

Their strategy is soaking boomers on big bikes because the mere existence of non gay Harleys outside of the ADV segment agitates the boomers and makes them buy fewer bikes. When that cursed generation gets too old to ride we will have better bikes made here again.

Yes thank you for noticing the tools im forced to borrow while 1500km from home base
>>28529756
Oh ok, i misunderstood you
Yeah might have to here soon, but fuck i need a new lugnut and probably an axle at this point if thats the case

>>28529733
As was also suggested breaking/cutting the nut might be the way to go. You can also try heat to get the nut to expand to help when you are trying to break it free. Penetrating lubricant and heat can work wonders but i gotta tell you it looks like a rat was chewing on your nut and axle. I would try penetrating lube and heat on the nut and a wedge on the other side and if that doesn't work you can cut a line into the nut across the threads perpendicular and use a chisel to break the nut all the way through to relieve tension. Obviously try to localize the damage to easily replaced parts but if it's already smoked just do whatever you can because regardless it's going to need to be replaced. Do you have map gas/torch?

>rat chewed nut
Yeah i lowslides that last year i think with a dank ass whol but had my tires swapped aince then so its a recent shitshow on this ttip
I dont have all those other things

But bros its not that the lugnuts fucked its this opposite end sliderblock shearing to shit and i can jam anything in there to get a grip
Yeah looks like cutting the nut ia the way

>>28529756
I wish I could recreate the look I received from the black lady behind the counter at O'Reilly when I asked where the nut splitters were at. Splendid incredulity is the only description I can come up with

>GOOD LUCK SHOOMS OKAY
>SHOOMS IS BACK!!!!
>MAKE SURE TO POST WRENCHING PICS SHOOMS!!!!
nigga using a fucking pipe wrench ROMFLAMAHAHAHA

>>28529778
If I was there I would help you brother. I might try something i could get inside the axle to thread or expand to hold it stationary but prolly won't be successful. The block is fucked so I would again figure out some way to hold the axle stationary at the expense of the already jacked up block. Combined with heat on the nut to lessen the force needed it might work

good luck

>>28529780
