    Try buffing it down wth some polishing compound, (make sur it is one that is safe for plastic). Theen finish off with Migiures Plastx. If you use a power buffer be careful not to overheat the plastic. http://www.meguiars.com/estore/product_list.cfm?sectionname=Consumer (Meguiar's Brand)>Clear Plastic Care&sectionID=15101

    OOPS .. Sorry I forgot about that part. When I use loctite near plastic I put a small drop in the threaded hole,(the flat end of a tooth pick works great for this) instead of on the bolt (and a small drop is all you need, too much in a blind hole can cause hydraulic preasure.) this way the loctite is moved ahead of the bolt rather than dripping off the bolt onto the plastic. Do this before assembly, no need to rush loctite only cures after assembly, in the open air it can sit for days, so carefully take your time. As extra insurance you can even place a small square of masking or electrical tape, with a small hole in it, over the threaded hole, to act as a seal around the bolt threads.

    drink lots of water and a wet rag or cotton scarf drapped loosely around the neck works wonders. I have even worn wet rag Arab style over my head to keep cool when working in the hot sun. An occasional gaterade or similar helps replace lost electrolites in the body. Running cold water over your wrists during a heat sroke is also helpful.

    That was close for sure. When you put it back put some blue loctite on the screw threads, to keep them from backing off in future. Any parts store, Canadian tire and most hardware stores carry it. Loctite comes in blue (medium strength), Red (high strength for bigger bolts) and green (bushing and shaft mount). Make sure you get the blue ( medium strength) If you use red or green it may be difficult to undo in future.

    It is only noticable when the bike is hot after a short run and pulling the clutch in or even having it in gear with the clutch pulled in changes nothing. I first noticed it will idling up the driveway. I then left the bike running with it in gear clutch pulled in noise was still there put in neutral and tried it with clutch in or out no difference. The only time you do not hear it is when the engine is cold. P/S anyone ever use "gasket eliminator" or "the right stuff" instead of the gasket for the clutch cover. I am thinking of pulling the cover to inspect but the dealer would have to order a gasket in and if I don,t see an issue I would like to avoid down time.

    I have started to notice that at idle and only when hot, a dry metallic type rattling noise is coming from the area of my clutch cover accompinied by a slight vibration. I'm thinking clutch but before I pull it apart I am wondering if this could be an indication of more issues that I may find inside. Anyone Else ever run into this?

    Agreed but based on the video She was a passenger. Which leads to another question why the H do crotch rockets have passanger seats? IMHO this should not be allowed. It makes me shudder every time I see a pretty young teenage girl sitting perched on the fender wearing a halter top, hot pants and flip flop sandels. All the gear all the time, so true. But I must confess rideing in town I am guilty of sometimes breaking that rule. I have seen them in black and silver combo's and even blue and silver. Rocket wears a pair of denim jeans that contain some sort of abrasion resistant material. He claims you can drag him for miles and they wont rub through.

    An Elderly Newfie woman of advanced age visited her physician to ask his advice in reviving her husband's libido.. 'What about trying Viagra?' asked the doctor. 'Not a chance', she said. 'He won't even take an aspirin.' 'Not a problem,' replied the doctor. 'Give him an 'Irish Viagra'. It's when you drop the Viagra tablet into his coffee. He won't even taste it. Give it a try and call me in a week to let me know how things went.' It wasn't a week later when she called the doctor, who directly inquired as to her progress. The poor dear exclaimed, 'Oh, faith, bejaysus and begorrah! T'was horrid! Just terrible, doctor!' 'Really? What happened?' asked the doctor. 'Well, I did as you advised and slipped it in his coffee and the effect was almost immediate. He jumped straight up, with a twinkle in his eye and with his pants a-bulging fiercely! With one swoop of his arm, he sent me cups and tablecloth flying, ripped me clothes to tatters and took me then and there passionately on the tabletop! It was a nightmare, I tell you, an absolute nightmare!' 'Why so terrible?' asked the doctor, 'Do you mean the sex your husband provided wasn't good?' Lord tunderin, 'twas the best sex I've had in 25 years! But sure as I'm sittin here, I'll never be able to show me face in Tim Hortons again!'

    They likely slipped out while you were running the shears over the grind stone. Probably knew you would not hear them over the grinding noise

    If that is true why is that money is the biggest factor in determining guilt or innocence. The guilty people found innocent are usually pretty well off while the innocent found guilty usually can not afford a good defence.

    Glad to hear you are still with us and hope your road to recovery is not too harsh. Prayers are with you and good luck.
