    Volt Meter

    EEvblog did a vblog on why they are so expensive and whether Fluke was worth the money. Recommend Uni-T UT61B or UT61C. Best value for money.

    Do you need an appraisal before transferring an 80s motorcycle?

    May not be relevant for this discussion but classic motorcycle insurance for bikes over 30 years old require an appraisal.

    Universal Tachometer/Speedometer?

    I sell an electronic circuit card for the BMW K-bike that adapts the signals on the bike to aftermarket gauges like this one. My circuit is compatible with the type of gauge and I have experience with it. It's no problem to interface this gauge to your ZX6R. The speedometer could be tricky...

    Cash or deposit Visa PrePaid Card?

    Square and Stripe are payment processors. They come between merchants and acquirers. They do have products and services that simplify merchant onboarding, and make the process of dealing with acquirers and payment brands easy. But you still need to be a merchant. I guess hookers and drug...

    Cash or deposit Visa PrePaid Card?

    Not for your average person. To accept credit card payments, you have to be setup as a merchant with an acquirer, and have a payment app on your phone. That's what Mobile Payment on COTS (MPoC) is for. The average person can pay at a merchant location with their phone if they have stored the...

    Total eclipse - April 8 2024

    Drove from Barrie to Waterford this morning. Took the 400 to 401 and 24 South to avoid the traffic s**tshow on the QEW. Sky cleared up 25 minutes before totality. Totally awesome sight!!! Worth the drive to Waterford.

    Knives - What are you using in the kitchen??

    I bought this diamond plate based on this Youtube review. Works flawlessly. I've struggled over the years trying to get a sharp edge on knives and woodworking tools using Japanese water stones and Arkansas oil stones but with no great success. Totally different experience with this product...

    Some Service Ontario locations closing

    Peculiar that the government is moving towards a self-service kiosk-based solution when many retailers are moving away from self-serve checkouts, primarily because of fraud and theft as well as bad customer experience/feedback. Most self-serve lanes at retail locations have at least one staff on...

    Bad boy furniture bankrupt

    @Mad Mike , you're absolutely right with that advice. The probability a successful chargeback being processed in the favour of the cardholder depends on all those factors you mentioned -- card, issuer bank rules, card brand rules, country and sometimes merchant vertical. @GreyGhost 's question...

    Bad boy furniture bankrupt

    The issuing bank is on the hook to settle the cardholder's dispute, and then they work with the merchant's bank to settle the chargeback. Reference: Chargeback: Get Your Money Back When a Company Goes Bankrupt (Update: Travel-Agencies).

    Is there a special way to charge a lithium battery?

    If the charger used had no BMS to talk to the battery and this resulted, the bike's charging system is probably even dumber. So why doesn't this kind of battery damage happen on the bike?

    Post up your liquor/spirit talk ?

    I found a cocktail recipe about. a year ago. This was the 2015 Bacardi Legacy winning recipe and is now my favourite. It's called Father's Advice - 1 shot white rum - 1 tablespoon Amaro - 1 tablespoon sherry - 1 tablespoon vermouth - 1/2 tablespoon banana or similar cordial Shake with Ice and...

    Starter relay: I chose violence. It worked... but why?

    Well, you may challenge my explanation, but it's what happens. Read about it in any of the BMW K-bike forums. The starter relay has a pickup voltage (the minimum voltage needed to engage the relay and close the contacts) and dropout voltage (the minimum voltage required to keep the relay...

    Starter relay: I chose violence. It worked... but why?

    A common problem on older BMW K-bikes is a sticking starter relay which results in continuous cranking of the engine even if the ignition is turned off. The cause usually is a weak battery. The weakened battery is not quite strong enough to hold the starter relay closed and the relay chatters...

    Angled Tire Pressure Guage

    +1 Agreed. I have a Jaco Elite Digital and love it. It's calibration is traceable to ASME Grade 2A standard and accurate to +/- 0.5% full scale. Fits in tight places with its swivelling angled ball chuck, for instance on the front tire valve with brake disks and spokes in the way.

    Any Ebay savvy folk help with currency question

    Hi, UPDATE: I found the exact same switch on AliExpress for cheaper and ordered it from that store. Still would be interested in an answer to my question though. Hit a situation in Ebay that I haven't seen before. Need help. I've signed into eBay.ca with my ID and put a motorcycle switch...

    Bike won't start after winterizing

    Terminal voltage you're showing during cranking is too low. Yes, it is indicating a ruined battery. Confirm it by taking the battery to a Canadian Tire store and they will be able to load test it for free.
