Chat has been working great for the most part, (Thanks again for bringing it back to life) a few minor glitches hear and there but nothing insurmountable. One thing that finally hit me today was that the are 2 chat rooms, A Lobby and a Technical Dissussion. I was not sure what a dissussion was. Like I should be talking about spelling........

I was looking for a left cover a long time ago. But I did aquire one way back then. This was several years ago.

I have always wanted to try that method..........

Pinwall is not a user name, it is the name of a company that parts out bikes. http://www.pinwallcycle.com

For all of the Maybe procrastinators. There is a Maybe option on the Calendar. Even a maybe is better than nothing for the planners, you can always change the maybe to a yes or no once your situations firm up.

Very Purdy, That may be a direction I head when/if I ever grow up. Especially in red........ Condor; I thought that @Carbon_One had a hitch on his?

With the engine off, put the bike in gear. Can you move the bike? If you can move the bike in gear then the piston was likely over extended and got stuck there holding the clutch in a disengaged position. I do not know if you could push the piston back from the other side of the bike to free it up. If you can not move the bike, then it is most likely a seized piston in the slave. Maybe pull harder on the clutch lever to brake it loose or try getting it to move from the other side of the engine. But even if you do get it to move, if it got stuck once then it is likely there is/was moisture in the system that has caused corrosion to stick the piston and you may still end up rebuilding or replacing the slave. But from your descriptions, since you are certain that everything is assembled correctly and you do have fluid movement to the slave, the only thing left is the slave.

OK, I'll mess with the old puc to. Diodes also have an interesting property to take into account. They will drop up to 1 volt per diode depending on what type they are. Unlike a resistor where there are formulas to calculate the voltage drop based on voltage and amperage, the diode just drops a fixed amount of voltage, common is 0.6V, it does not matter what the input voltage is, it will drop the same 0.6V. So that bridge rectifier that has 4 diodes in series can drop 2.4V.

Sounds interesting. Even in progress pics are a good thing.

Threatening Frosty. That is a dangerous track to follow. Lets see, time for a little math. Just how much snow would it take so that MI was still busy digging come MD................... and then add in some additional for a safety factor.................. All in the interest of protecting Frosty ya know............. Got the wheels spinning on the old kaleidoscope now............. Ohhhhhh, that is a big number..................................

I never claimed to have a clue either.

In a meeting one time the CEO of the company was explaining that he wears rubber gloves that go up to the elbow when he is working around the battery in his car. It takes less than one amp to kill ya and that car battery has 800 amps.................

Most of the TVs do have a sleep timer. Unfortunately most of them are also buried in the menus and are not a simple one or two button presses like in the good old days.

It could not have a question cuz it did not end with a question mark, therefor it is just a statement. Your last post did end with a question mark so it is getting an answer. Yes I did notice. No I do not have a good answer. But I am good at bad answers...........

How are the pins and splines in the rear wheel. I had a similar vibration that turned out to be dry rusty pins.

Really? It is spring time? I think we need to celebrate. I am just so happy i could dump a foot of snow somewhere............. Now where to aim the nozzles................??????????? Eeni meeny miny moe, North south east or west, Where should all of the snow go? Have to find the place that's best.

I like canned worms. Diodes are rated for current and voltage. When the diode is acting as a check valve to prevent backflow the current is zero (at least close enough to zero for this discussion) until it hits the max voltage rating where the voltage can overpower the diode and make it flow backwards. Still kind of like a check valve has a pressure rating, if you exceed it you can force back flow, so the amp rating does not matter for reverse current. When the diode has the power flowing thru it in the conducting direction is where the amp rating comes into play. The amp rating the maximum amps that can flow thru the diode in the conducting direction before it will overheat and let out the magic blue smoke that makes all things electric function.

There is a good chance that you can reuse the valve cover gaskets. They are rubber and therefore are reusable. The only issue will be how old are they and are they dried out and cracking. If they are still the original gaskets they might be to old to reuse. The black RTV might work for a while but it will not be long before the cracked come thru again.

This has me thinking now. I often put the last load in the dryer and go to bed or even leave the house. I have to rethink that now. Glad no one was hurt. The company I work for makes a cleaner specifically to get smoke odors out. It is used by professional carpet cleaners for after fire cleanup. It does an amazing job and has no odor of its own. The longer you wait the harder it is to get the smell out.

The class stopped because the front pressure was maxed out. IIRC the front pressure is 7-21 lbs and the rear is 7-85 lbs. So the front was maxed out and the rear still had a bit to go. Edit; Dang typed to slow again.................

Well @cowpuc you are right, a diode is like a check valve for electricity, allowing current to flow in one direction only. As Bongo mentioned brake and turn signals are a popular place for diodes. I have them in the lights that I put into the reflector on the trunk of my bike. I have that reflector wired to be turn signals, brake light and running light. Since it uses the same LED bulb for both brake and running, so you would use 2 diodes, one in the line from the brake and one in the line for the running light. If you were to hook both lines to the same bulb without the diodes, the running lights power would back feed into the brake circuit keeping the whole brake light circuit energized at all times. The diodes prevent this. The Diodes are used any time you need to combine 2 or more circuits but you do not want the circuits to back feed into each other. There are other places they come in handy also. Especially if you try to retrofit cheap LED bulbs into the turn signals.

I see another killer ninga squirrel thread coming.

Now you have a bunch of isolation diodes for hooking stuff up on your bike.

You had me with the title.............. May you have at least one more good this season.
