    I would have to agree. If any thing I would maybe consider adding a crank case breather filter inside the air cleaner like the early fords and gms used to use and just change it as it got dirty.

    WD-40

    saddlebum replied to DragonRider's topic in Watering Hole

    I was drilling tool steel one time while fabricating something and ran out of kool tool and in desparation I grabbed a neardy can wd 40 and used it as a substitute. Would you believe it it worked better then kool tool. The drills cut better and faster and I only had to sharpen them half as often since then it has been my number one cutting and honing oil.

In the mean time I will just have to enjoy these alone since I to be the bad guy here and tempt you all off of your diets. I am sure you will thank me in the long run. http://www.google.ca/images?q=tbn:rXAujvmOsvjJiM::www.hyderabadgift.com/images/10_strawberry_cheese_cake.jpghttp://www.google.ca/images?q=tbn:p-6EMkTF_ZebjM::www.freefoto.com/images/09/23/09_23_11---Cheese-Cake_web.jpghttp://www.google.ca/images?q=tbn:U7LJIvgibJkPKM::www.minosbakeshop.com/images/Cakes/Cheese-Cake-1.jpghttp://www.google.ca/images?q=tbn:UUg_i5RemGtj9M::mealdiy.com/images/cheese-cake.jpg

    I was just going through the maint. section and reading all the good info there. Your article on clutch slip was really good but you metioned how it was strange that the the clutch would slip in high gear and not in low gear. This is actually is not strange at all as the higher you go up the gear pattern the more load there is placed on the clutch. In transport trucks drivers will often complain that there clutch is slipping on hill climbs we verify this in the shop by placing the transmission in its highest gear then gently let the clutch out. This will either cause the clutch to slip or stall the engine. If we did this in low gear even a clutch that is starting to slip would tear out the driveline unless it was slipping really bad. One thing we really have to watch is as the engines come with higher horse power the force on the driveline increases. wouldn't want to explain that one to a customer. hope you dont tak take this the wrong way and as always keep up the great work.

    I do believe there are valid points on both sides of this discussion , yes it is good to be seen , and true also blinding someone to the point that they close there eyes or divert them from the road ahead in itself can be dangerous (true it may only be that 1% but Usually its that 1%er that gets you ), not to mention the fact that one can get charged for not turning high beams down to aproaching traffic ( which in some places such as Ontario it is a chargable offense). Perhaps a good compromise would be a farm tractor type flood light. rather than throw a bright narrow focused beam, it throughs a wide flood of light which would be very visible form any angle without blinding oncoming traffic. just a possible suggestion.

    yup better put a telephoto lense on it :dancefool:

    I used a relay and separate fuse as well . but I used power from the high beam to control the positive side of the relay so they would go off and on with my high beams and rather then run the negative side directly to ground ,I placed a separate switch on the relay ground wire . This way by switching the ground off and on I can turn them off independently of the high beams if need be

    Carb sync would be good even if i only get to see it done do to time and then i can do my own when i get home again . also non drinking volunteers to walk behind me and carry extra beer since I can only hold 2

    I was going to ask if you had any edible ones but remembering your pension for eating I suddenly realized you probably alrready devoured all of those :sick:

    these are all good suggestions in the case of the first one I agree but I prefer to go a step further. Remove the wheel hubs and bearings from the axle and measure from the end of each axle end to make sure it is centered to the body. Then measure from the center of each spindle end to the center of the hitch, the measurement should be the same on each side,the reason I prefer to do this with the hobs off is because it is more accurate then by checking with the wheels and hub on and it is a good time to check and repack your bearings while you have it apart. also check all fastners and u-bolts to make sure they are secure, and your axle is not moving around.

    Tongue wieght is a common cause but so is weight distribution load heavy items down low and light bulky items on top.A trailer that is too top heavy is as dangerous as one that does not have enough tongue weight. PS I prefer to substitute extra drinks in place of the ice:thumbsup:

    here is an e-mail I recieved from dunlop when I e-mailed them and made an inquiry about a front tire for my 1st gen Quote: Ben - Thank you for the additional information. We are sorry to inform you that we are unable to bring this tire to the market at this time. As you probably already know, Dunlop maintains the highest standards of product performance are we are not satisfied with the performance of this tire on the older bikes which use this tire size. We will continue to develop this tire, but unfortunately, it will not be available for this summer's riding season. We are very sorry for the inconvenience caused by this situation

    This morning on the Highway , I looked over to my left and there was a Woman In a brand new Cadillac Doing 90 km-per hour With her Face up next t o her Rear view mirror Putting on her eyeliner. I looked away For a couple seconds, and when I looked back she was Halfway over in my lane, Still working on that makeup. As a man, I don't scare easily. But she scared me so much; I dropped My electric shaver , Which knocked The donut Out of my other hand. In all The confusion of trying To straighten out the car Using my knees against The steering wheel, It knocked My cell phone Away from my ear Which fell Into the coffee Between my legs, Splashed, And burned Big Jim and the Twins, Ruined the darn phone, Soaked my trousers, And disconnected an Important call. Stupid women drivers

    soooo finally something a second gen can do fast:rotf::rotf:
  24. saddlebum
    well we all know you need it after all getting off and pushing a 2nd gen up hills is hard work ---- if you guys were nicer we would throw you a line and tow you up those hills instead we have to wait up the road and kill a few while we wait:rasberry::rasberry:
  25. saddlebum
    That would be a total waste of time and effort . If you really truly want to keep your eyes on 1st gens get a pair of binoculars and look straight ahead:thumbsup:
