[@linksgarage1985]

Yea man. If pissed me off!

[@xxgodofcornxx8911]

Just purchased a 23sm and been using your videos to help build mine along the way, thank you.

[@linksgarage1985]

Thank you!! I appreciate you watching!

[@CraigSmith568]

Laughed my ass off when you were shaking that middle finger at that part. I've done the same thing before. Made my whole day.

[@linksgarage1985]

Hell yea!!!! Pisses me off lol.

[@TTrident660]

Damn bro the tin foil is a great idea I didn’t even think of that

[@linksgarage1985]

Use it for everything! Ha. Thanks for watching!

[@Arcangelo_cr]

Had the exact same issue with starter cover, sucks bro, I will try to fix it somehow. I wish I had watched your video sooner 🥲

[@linksgarage1985]

This company reached out to me after this video. And sent me a new part. Update coming soon! Best of luck.

[@deezgex]

I couldn't use my smallest socket on the nicecnc oil filter cover similar to the one you put on. Had to use open end wrench for mine

[@deezgex]

Also the nicecnc oil filter cover doesnt allow socket to tighten the nuts on that cover. Had to use open end wrench ugh

[@mrsmel269]

nice brother !!! i seen some where on the web the oil cover failed hope it was a one off issue . ill try to find it when im off work and get you info to research . enjoy the weekend and hope it goes slow for you. great sending btw !!!

[@linksgarage1985]

Thanks dude! I always appreciate you watching!

[@BardstownJustin]

Loved this video!

Thanks for watching I appreciate it!

Yo man I dig the DRZ content. I notice you have aftermarket handgrips. Did you buy an aftermarket throttle tube or suffer removing the bonded grip from the OEM tube? I went to change them thinking it would be an easy task and it turned out to be a massive PITA. If you went for an aftermarket tube, where did you go and what did you end up getting? Appreciate the content and glad you’re in one piece after the deer. Ride safe brotha!

[@linksgarage1985]

Well bro. The grip was a pain. I ended up cutting it off with a razor. But if I had to do to all over, I’d do the Zeta 1/4 turn quick throttle tube. Thanks for watching I appreciate it!

[@k0d0kan]

It's a cool piece. My only concern is if it happens to get hit by a rock or a drop and breaks, you're stuck...

[@linksgarage1985]

Yea. For sure.

[@deezgex]

I reached out to them and they told me its possible for a defect here and there. To give them the sku number and they will check. Been over a week and not responded back to me again even after i sent the sku number to them.

[@Jeff-dc2xl]

Would the bushing out of the factory cover fit in the new cover?

[@linksgarage1985]

Negative. I tried it

[@deezgex]

Are you using a impact on the starter cover side?

[@eldurorapido3512]

how to change coolant

[@keldonator]

I know the weight difference in likely negligible, but it would be interesting to know the difference.

[@seanoleary1979]

Did you ever measure the id of both bushings and give the company a call? Is it possible there are different sized bushings for different years NiceCNC is unaware of? Pretty f-ed up to make a summary judgement like that without measuring/calling and letting them know so they can make it right.

[@linksgarage1985]

It’s not fucked up. Yes. I contacted the company. They made a mistake and made a huge batch of bad parts. These bad parts went to thousands of customers. They owned it. And sent me new parts. My summary stands. Other videos on the topic on the channel as well. Thanks for watching. Glad you didn’t make a summary judgment without seeing the follow up video…

[@seanoleary1979]

​@@linksgarage1985 Off the top of your head, give a rough 'guesstimate' of how many of your videos we should have to endure before we get it that you enjoy bashing companies mercilessly for their mistakes - and then stand by your atrocious lack of compassion for said simple mistakes. I understand exaggerating facts for dramatic effect, but I SERIOUSLY doubt bad parts went to THOUSANDS of people. I know I can't let "thousands" of mistakes leave my shop and still expect to be able to put food on the table for my family... NiceCNC wouldn't be in business today if that was the case.

[@linksgarage1985]

@@seanoleary1979 they sure did. Thanks for watching!

[@funshine3571]

There's actually a drain plug for the filter. Total of 3 drain plugs.

[@linksgarage1985]

Yes. I know. However, there are horrible stories of that bolt getting messed up, or issues with the case in that spot. So I leave it alone. Thanks for watching I appreciate it!

[@703CrailTap]

Contrary to the beliefs of some, that's not a drain plug - it's the main oil galley plug. Used for pressure testing. Not needed or recommended to mess with for an oil change.

[@funshine3571]

Thanks for the info. It saves me a lil mess but i'll take into account. 🤘

[@willknott4796]

Love it😂 blast it with the 7.62x39 🇺🇸

[@lionlocVanDwellington]

Could you just use the oem spacer in the clear starter cover?

[@linksgarage1985]

No. It would not come out of the nice CNC cover. I tried. They sent me a new one. I made a follow up video. All is well.

[@dcjano75]

you could of returned it? Again, you saved me from future aggravation... Keep the vids coming!

No. Wouldn’t work

Where did you buy this

[@phillipautwell5723]

Be very careful with there products such as clear cam cover windows with bolts on the inside.. the bolts don't have lock Tite and fall into the motor causing some severe issues..

[@linksgarage1985]

Good call.

[@phillipautwell5723]

@@linksgarage1985 I've actually spoke to the company there suppose to have a 2.0 version.. but I'd honestly just get the one from monster with the bolts on the outside..

Yes. The oil filter cover has been good. No issues! Thanks for watching!
