Nice house, all I want is something livable but soooo cheap I can mostly be motohobo. 5.7 million is a bit out of my budget.

What can I say, I'm bad a grifting. I should probably get up and make coffee since I can't afford servants for that.

I have to say.. making a TON of coffee at home has me bored quite a bit . I think it's because I don't get out for the :coffee:

But , I also need to say, my current pour over is DAMN NICE. And the beans are not even from a special place: Trader (okay, I did buy a fancy bag at 9.99 from that store. ) 🥈

in other news: I haven't checked my oil level nor tire pressures today. 🥁🥁🥁 🎉
 
I'm gonna check those things on my motorcycle today. Might even drain coolant from the KTM and remove the radiator so I'm one step closer to checking valves :laughing maybe.
 
I've been making coffee at home for decades and I'm still not a millionaire.
Annoying.


I picked up a borescope to take a peek in the cylinder of the adv bike but the damn spark plug hole is too narrow to drop it all the way in. :mad I can see the top of the piston and there's no marks on it at all so I don't think I dropped a valve.
I put a socket wrench on the end of the crank and the engine spins about 358 degrees either way and stops.
:(

I should have it taken apart this afternoon and we'll see what's what.
 
Maybe it hydro locked? Maybe the starter is hung up somewhere on the teeths?
I make my own coffee AND avocado toast still not rich :cry
 
No fluid in the cylinder, no water in the oil, nothing that shouldn't be in the coolant when I drained it.
A failed starter would not cause the bike to quit running and the way the engine rotates then stops leads me to believe that the starter is not involved in any way.

I'm not good enough to diagnose this without seeing the innards so into the innards I go.
 
Mmm pour over coffee and whatnot, made at home. I',m not rich but I feel like I really should talk to a financial advisor to make sure I'm not screwing up with what I do have in the ol' 401k and whatnot.

I was think a broken bender would allow some uni directional rotation before jamming :dunno

If I had to guess (and that's all it'd be) maybe things got stick in there and a con rod bent or something.

That’s what made me think hydro lock doesn’t take much. Even a clogged up spark arrester could create enough excessive back pressure to corrupt a rod.
