GM Slammed In Latest Reliability Survey | Speed Sensor Chevrolet

John Buck’s ’56 started out with this nicely done 502-equipped engine compartment fitted with a 750-cfm Holley double-pumper. Buck just wanted something with a little different look and a bit more refinement.

The ZR2 owner told me he drove over the first bump at about 5 mph, then over the second, before realizing the undulations were a bit bigger than he’d thought, so he applied the brakes. “It was a very curvy, not aggressive, rugged jostling of the truck. And the airbags deployed at the end of the second bump,” he told me.

It sounds great, doesn’t it? Guess what? No matter what level rider you are, the clutch won’t stand the test of time. Stiffer springs will help, but the real fix is a complete Hinson or Rekluse clutch (which will cost around a grand). The rigid aluminum chassis is very busy under the load of the added horsepower. The forks are mediocre. Finding good balance between the front and rear can become a full-time job, especially as the track changes over the course of a day. The 2017–2019 chassis is very hard to find a comfortable setting on. This has a lot to do with the Honda engineers’ selection of the Showa fork valving, chassis rigidity, shock linkage rising rate, borderline front-end geometry and stinkbug stance. The CRF450 is fun, fast and exciting. It is heavy at 238 pounds but feels light in the air. On the downside, control is hard to come by on a bike that is loose on exit, prone to breaking the rear loose on corner exit and needs 108mm of race sag (and the forks slid down in the clamps) to bring it into balance. Full test of the 2019 Honda CRF450.

The Chevy airbag defect affected close to five million vehicles including the 2014-2017 Chevy Silverado 1500 and the Silverado HD.

Torqeedo co-founder and chief executive Christoph Ballin said: “Torqeedo is very happy with the cooperation with WhisperPower. The product synergy is perfect.”

I want a mandatory safety system, integrated with the regular headlights-vs-DRL switch, the hazard light switch, rain sensor, sunlight sensor (the thing that normally biases the air conditioning/automatic climate control on sunny days), vehicle speed sensor, forward and aft looking radar, and a new left lane sensor. This device will either blast the driver with an annoying, deafeningly loud screech or better yet provide real time electro shock therapy to the driver’s seat any time the person:

In 2016, Harley recalled more than 27,000 bikes, approximately 14 models, for a problem with a clutch master cylinder.

This nine-litre cubic capacity four-cylinder engine generates 300kW and has been designed for heavy-duty construction equipment and agricultural machinery.

Bleeding the system took forever, as I hadn’t bench-bled the master cylinder, so there was tons of air in the system. Still, it wasn’t rocket science.

Headed up a non-descript, small dune, I gave the truck just enough power to get to the top and as I got there it sounded like a gunshot went off and someone punched me in the side of the head.

I thought reverse cameras became mandatory this year? Sort of making annoying sensors unnecessary.. or maybe they are just mandatory in Canada?
