> Reshimming the engine (once every 15k miles or so) costs a minimum of $1200 going up to $2000 if the engine needs significant adjustment. Wow, your dealer is really raking their customers. Mine charges about $200 to check valves on a p

Oh, I thought you were talking about motorcycles. My BMW motorcycle has only 2 of the 11 features you mentioned :)

In my experience most Suzukis other than the 2000s GSXRs have superior reliability to BMW at the tradeoff of lower sophistication. Though the new VStroms and Hayabusa are competitive with BMW on rider aids. Certain Kawasakis are uo there to

This doesn't make any sense. Many regular issues are not diagnosable by computer. I have legacy access to some current BMW service data and it does not behave the way you describe at all- I only have to whip out the scanner for certain

A legitimate reason is to move the service data online so it can be continuously updated and accessible from a web browser instead of the chunky Windows app they were using before straight out of 1995. But other manufacturers who do this ma

Belts are less maintenance intensive than shaft drives. A shaft drive needs an oil change every 10,000 miles. A belt needs a change every 60,000 miles or so, depending on storage condtions. The disadvantages of belts are efficiency (especia

Volvo's data is only available via digital subscription. BMW motorcycle data is not available at all to consumers anymore, only certified techs. Suzuki doesn't publish data, but Clymer usually fills the gap. By contrast, Honda wil

Yup, exactly. I was one of the last mortals to get a copy of the software for my BMW motorcycle and now field emails from riders worldwide looking for service data.

The edits are more likely to be accepted if you provide an on-the-ground photograph (presumably with EXIF data). I've gotten places updated by submitting photos of signage, posted hours, etc.

It depends. Cubesats and other small LEO satellites commonly use consumer grade hardware. They're going to deorbit and burn up before the radiation becomes a major problem, and they're often deployed in fleets so it's fine to

Old aircraft had the gun on a rail above the prop. To reload the gun or clear a jam, the pilot had to pull the gun down a rail, reload it, and push it back up. This was difficult to do during a dogfight.

The Something Terrible in this case is early DOS which did not have separate folders. So the device files were in the same namespace as the user's files, so the user couldn't name a file CON or LPT1. These are preserved for backwa

There's a weird reason for this- digital copies get access from hour one of the release, while physical copies had to ship. So you had this weird situation where the biggest fans of the franchise didn't get to play the game until
