Its something most of us never think about or ever replace on a bike. Oddly I believe mine is failing. It usually warms up pretty quick, within 2ish miles of riding with a good 30 seconds of idle while I finish gearing up but lately I have been able to make it to work (~6) miles and the temp...

WHAT? what GM (other then a square body pickup with the good old 350) is reliable? find me an impala, a malibu, a cobalt, a sunfire, a cav, a suburban, a tahoe, etc that is reliable and low maintenance like almost every honda? some hondas have ecu issues and main relay things and many, many...

If I remember right I did a writeup on it and none needed shimming but I want to say one exhaust valve was close to needing it.

I did it!!!!

o.O OH, do we get members only jackets!?!?!?! I NEED ONE! Regular maintenance is really helpful, It doenst hurt that Im a mechanic lol

Yep, I have been seriously meaning to swap that though, Ive been hearing a bit more of the Yami-tick then id like and it seems to come and go depending on engine temp so that IS on my list to do!

i generally just start it up and finish putting gear on before taking it easy till it gets to a decent temp, mine will cut and bogg down HARD if i try and step on it before shes warm enough. However, in winter, when its in the 40's and below for the high I will idle for a min, then opt to take...

So this evening this weird thing happened on my way home..... Im not sure but its this number that not too many have seen on their dash before. ANYWAYS BlahBlahBlahBlah all kidding aside I *knock on wood*** have done: Preventative: Head bearings 1 chain (never replaced...

I think I may be one of the few people to be able to say Been there, done that. lol and yes, i needed new pants too. Glad youre ok!

HELLS YEASSSSSS Something similar is on my list for me and my FZ, although with the mileage on mine I have some reservations :( id wire your cooling fan to a toggle switch (keep it so that the ecu can still kick on the fan tho!) of course a 12v power source and your suspension should be...

Norma Unger is my grandmother, the most loving woman I will ever meet (and she will make ANYTHING delicious at the drop of a hat). She will be turning 75 September 4th, unfortunately she will also still be in the hospital getting an aneurism taken care of. All I ask is for someone, anyone to...

+1 with hellgate. im sure they give feedback for hard acceleration/braking and im sure aide in wheelie control BlahBlah

If youre anywhere close to the southside of ATL I am more then happy to take a look at it and clear up or at least give some light on Frankenstein there. (my gf has a gsxr and my FZ6 so I have both to compare parts too :spank: and if you need I have almost any tool ever needed to work on...

to be honest I also cut the bike off at some red lights (i have actually had the time to pull my gloves off, start a timer, and stop it when i see the light turn yellow (well over 6 min) but when i do cut it off, the bike is put in 1st and the switch is to run, all i need is the start button and...

I had the sweetest old lady have her car come towed in because it wouldnt start, she gave me her house key and said it wouldnt start :eek: I asked for the key that had the "H" (it was an accord) and she said that none of her keys fit, after rummaging in her handbag she brought out the correct...

ok you guys have surpassed my nerd..... keep in mind im just a simple wrench monkey with a Bachelors Degree. Blah

I have actually had a similar problem, the most insanely implausible and stupidest thing ever. my parking lights, in each corner above the headlights both had a filament blow, (duel filament bulbs) the Left (drivers side in the US) bulb had the turn signal filament blow and flop DOWN and make...

replacing one brake pad????? I suppose you buy one shoe too?!?! I have people come in to my work all the time and want to replace just the brake pads on one side or replace one rotor, or (my personal favorite) they just want the oil filter changed. SERIOUSLY. also i had one lady whose air...

on the slim off chance you dont have the calipers or fixed dial indicator, I have some somewhere in my giant snapon chest if you need. :rolleyes:Blah

just put 1/2 sheet of paper across the radiator, I only earlier this month took mine off (been there since November) yes your mpg will suffer because cold air is denser and thus requires more fuel to compensate and run correctly (like mentioned) on a few COLD mornings where it was like...
