Is There Enough Evidence to Indict Joe Biden?
Ralf001 replied to Yagoda's topic in Political Soapbox
There is no sufficient or definitive public evidence to indicate that U.S. President Joe Biden should be indicted for any criminal activity. Several political and legal challenges have been raised against him, but these are primarily tied to allegations of misconduct involving his son, Hunter Biden, and his business dealings, rather than actions directly implicating the president himself. -
The starter motor on your 10-year-old Honda Forza 300, with 62,000 km on the clock, is likely still good, but like any component, it can wear out over time. However, starter motors tend to have a fairly long lifespan, especially if they have been properly maintained. There are a few things to consider: 1. Signs of Starter Motor Wear: Slower Cranking: If the starter motor is starting to fail, you might notice the engine cranking slower than usual or struggling to turn over, especially on colder starts. Grinding or Whining Noise: If you hear unusual sounds (grinding or a high-pitched whining noise) when trying to start the engine, this could indicate issues with the starter motor or the starter solenoid. No Response or Intermittent Starting: If the bike sometimes doesn’t respond when you press the start button, or requires multiple attempts to engage, it could be a sign that the starter motor is failing. Electrical Issues: Problems like a blown fuse or issues with the starter relay could also be indicative of wear in the starter motor circuit. 2. Maintenance Tips for Longevity: Battery Condition: Ensure that your battery is in good condition. A weak battery can put extra strain on the starter motor, making it work harder and reducing its lifespan. If your battery is getting old (over 3-4 years), it might be time to replace it. Regular Use: Starter motors tend to last longer when the bike is used regularly. If your Forza 300 is sitting for extended periods, it’s a good idea to start it up every so often to keep the electrical components in good working order. Keep Electrical Connections Clean: Ensure that the connections to the starter motor, battery, and starter relay are clean and tight. Corrosion or loose connections can cause intermittent starting problems. 3. Preventative Measures: Voltage Check: Periodically check the charging system voltage (using a multimeter) to make sure the alternator and regulator/rectifier are functioning properly. A faulty charging system can put additional strain on the starter motor. Routine Inspections: If you're concerned about the condition of the starter motor, you can have it checked by a mechanic during a regular service. They can inspect the starter motor and associated components (like the solenoid and relay) to ensure everything is working as it should. 4. Replacement Considerations: Cost vs. Risk: While it's not common for a starter motor to fail suddenly, if you're worried about it, you can budget for a replacement starter motor as a preventive measure. Starter motors for the Forza 300 aren’t overly expensive, and replacing it proactively can prevent you from being stranded. Longevity: Given your bike's age and mileage, if the starter motor is still functioning well without any issues, it may continue to perform reliably for some time. Most starter motors on well-maintained bikes last much longer than 62,000 km, especially if there have been no major signs of wear. In summary, while starter motors can eventually wear out, they typically last a long time. If your Honda Forza 300's starter motor is still operating normally, it’s likely fine for now. Keep an eye out for signs of wear, and ensure proper maintenance of the electrical system to get the most life out of it. If you're still worried, you could consider having the motor checked or replacing it proactively during a routine service, but it's not a common issue unless there are noticeable symptoms

Jeju Air Flight from Bangkok Skids Off Runway at Muan Airport, 28 Dead
Ralf001 replied to Georgealbert's topic in World News
The "berm" was 250m out... seems it should have been minimum 300m out. The speed the plane was skittling along at, I doubt that extra 50m would have made any siginficant difference. -

Errr The plane touched down in the opposite direction of the initial approach and intended landing direction, That would mean the bern is at the beginning of the runway... not the end. -
