    We don't know why you are still a trial member. There is always someone with an answer to anything, even if it is just a smarta$$ one... But since you have only been here 1 day we can cut you some slack.........lol

    I guess that I am more interested in meeting people, BSing, eating, relaxing and playing with the bikes than going for any long rides. If one of these is a short ride that could still be fun. I do have to rest my delicate tush for the ride home ya know .....

    Brake checking a cage (especially a LEO) while on a bike? What if his reflexes were just a little slow. The dash cam is all of the evidence that it was an obvious attempted suicide by cop...... In the cops TV show there were cases where they did take down the bike with a pit maneuver to end a chase. Followed up a a paramedic call.

    The solid black type of float is actually some kind of a plastic foam, over time the can soak up fuel and gain weight which will raise the fuel level in the float bowl. Just one more thing to check.

    Both are nice.

    There are 2 places I can park the bike at work. I can choose between dirty or vandalized. The bosses spot is dirtier than mine. A good coat of wax helps those spots come off next time.

    No. sort of. It will be most noticeable in the higher gears where it is easy to load the motor. It will still happen in the lower gears but acceleration is so quick that it is hard to notice.

    ???????????? I thought the bottom crush washer was for the Middle Gear cover on the other side of the bike??????

    Unless you are really good, you will want to have a little itty bitty torque wrench handy that will go down to 6 lb/in (IIRC). You would really hate to snap one of those "tiny" screws.

    Is this the same bike? http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=70960

    I am still XP Pro, FireFox, and have not had any of these issues.

    Flat black also make it very difficult to spot a cracking weld. When I was into stock cars the chassis was painted white or yellow to help spot cracks during weekly inspections. Especially since you said you are not a good welder. The only welding I did on mine was the tongue extension. Once I bolted down the floor the frame can no longer be sprung out of square. I left mine the red that it came in, the more visible the better. Welding the HF trailer can actually cause more problems down the road than bolting it together.

    I've heard that ones own foot can be tasty with the right sauce....

    When you took off the old filter, did you open the fuel filter to check for crud? If a filter has a lot of crud then some may have gotten thru to the carb. If the filter was real bad you may have a lot of crud in your tank. I agree with what others ave said, Fuel flowing out the overflow can ONLY be float, Float needle, or float needle seat. There is a slim outside chance of a possibility of a cracked carb causing this as well, but that is very unlikely. All of the rest of the stuff in the carb can not make fuel come out the overflow. I have seen gas boiling in a float bowl on a car once, but it was just driven 90 miles on the freeway, with NO coolant and the heads were glowing red hot.....

    There are a lot of faulse rumors floating around about the use of Nitrogen in tires. Some of the simple facts. Air is 78% nitrogen already. Nitrogen does not eliminate pressure change with temperature. What nitrogen does do for you is minimal. With DRY nitrogen you are getting no water vapor into the tire, this will slightly reduce the amount of pressure change with temp, We are talking fractions of a PSI here. It is the water vapor that makes the difference. Water vapor can be as much as 3% of air. It is the water vapor that can cause the biggest change in pressure with temp, but there is not much of it there. Since it contains no oxygen it is supposed to help not oxidize the tire from the inside out. While this is true, unless you plan to keep the same tires on your bike for 20-30 years, it wont matter. With the outside exposed to UV rays and air the tire will dry rot from the outside in anyhow. Bottom line is if you already have nitrogen for some other purpose then go ahead and use it in your tires, It is not worth spending any money on getting nitrogen just to fill tires.
