Ponderisms

1.? I used to eat a lot of natural foods until I learned that most people die of natural causes.

2.? Gardening Rule: When weeding, the best way to make sure you are removing a weed and not a valuable?plant is to pull on it.? If it comes out of the ground easily, it is a valuable plant.

3.? The easiest way to find something lost around the house is to buy a replacement.

4.? Never take life seriously.? Nobody gets out alive anyway.

5.? There are two kinds of pedestrians: the quick? and the dead.

6.? Life is sexually transmitted.

7.? Health is merely the slowest possible rate at which one can die.

8.? The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth.

9.? Health nuts are going to feel stupid someday, lying in hospitals dying of nothing.

10.? Have you noticed since everyone has a camcorder these days no one talks about seeing UFOs like they used to?

11.? Whenever I feel blue, I start breathing again.

12.? All of us could take a lesson from the weather. ?It pays no attention to criticism.

13.? In the 60s, people took acid to make the world weird.? Now the world is weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.

14.? How is it one careless match can start a forest fire, but it takes a whole box to start a campfire?

15.? Who was the first person to look at a cow and say, "I think I'll squeeze these dangly things here, and drink whatever comes out?"

16.? Who was the first person to say, "See that chicken there?? I'm gonna eat the next thing that comes outta its butt."

17.? Why is there a light in the fridge and not in the freezer?

18.? If Jimmy cracks corn and no one cares, why is there a song about him?

19.? If quizzes are quizzical, what are tests?

20.? Do illiterate people get the full effect of Alphabet Soup?

21.? Did you ever notice that when you blow in a dog's face, he gets mad at you, but when you take him on a car ride, he sticks his head out the window?

22.? Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle?

The name ring is an atavism from when contests were fought in a roughly drawn circle on the ground. The name ring continued with the Jack Broughton rules in 1743, which specifed a small circle in the centre of the fight area where the boxers met at the start of each round. The first square ring was introduced by the Pugilistic Society in 1838. That ring was specified as 24 feet (7.3 m) square and bound by two ropes. For these and other reasons, the boxing ring is commonly referred to as the "square circle."

      I have this bike in my shop for a customer. It was sunk completely under water and left running until it killed. I did a complete engine rebuild. Replaced all bearings, crank, oil pump, and various other components. Engine starts and runs great. It will shift up through all gears perfectly in automatic and in ESP, but when slowing down it gets to 3rd gear and the MIL "-" light comes on and stays on. No flashes or anything and it will not shift gears. Kill the engine and restart in ESP mode and it is able to shift to neutral and start over. Does the same thing while down shifting in ESP mode. I replaced shift angle sensor with no improvement. Checked oil pressures as per repair manual "74psi" and higher with higher RPM's. With no MIL codes to point at an issue. I am at a loss as to what else to check or replace. Has anyone else ran across this issue?

      This covers most cases of backfiring, and by that I mean loud pops or bangs, not the un-burnt fuel spitting out the back of the carb that's sometimes observed.
      Ok, so there are two types of what people describe as backfiring, one sort is when it backfires out the exhaust, and the other is when it backfires into the carb and airbox.
      So, backfires out the exhaust happen under two different circumstances.
      First is as you are riding along, the bikes going fine, but when you are going at a steady speed or throttling off it makes a loud boom out the exhaust... and that sort is caused mainly by an exhaust leak up near the head or front pipe. It can also be caused by a lean mixture, or a rich mixture, but either way, the bike is generally going fairly well.
      The other circumstance is the bike is not going fine, it's missing, and then there is a loud boom out the exhaust... that is nearly always caused by an electrical miss... bad plug or coil something like that.

      Then there is the backfire into the carb. This generally happens when the bikes being ridden and the throttle is open. It's not the fairly common, occasional pop as the bike is being started or turned off.
      This backfiring is because the incoming mixture is getting ignited. There are a few possible reasons for that.
      It can ignite because the valve timing is out, and then they don't idle so good, and they are down or torque when you drive them.
      Or, the incoming mixture is ignited by carbon build up, or a real hot spark-plug tip, both of which needs the engine to run for a while till it's good and hot.
      Or, the incoming fuel gets ignited by un-burnt gases caused by real late ignition timing, which is super rare these days. That also makes them gutless.
      Or because the mixture is still in there burning because it was so lean on the last firing. That is the most common cause by far.
      There is another cause of burning still going on in there when the new charge arrives and that's raw fuel deposited on the cool head surface and smoldering away, but that doesn't get caused by a rich mixture alone. Iif the properly atomised fuel mixture was that rich it would be spewing black smoke, but it can be caused by badly atomised fuel getting in there in big globs. That can be because the slide needle is loose and jumping up and down, a vacuum hose to an auto-fueltap or a vacuum fuel pump is sucking in fuel, something like that.
      Hope that points you in the right direction when you are trying to figure a problem, or describing a symptom in here. Remember, there are symptoms, and there are circumstances relating to the symptom.. Take note of both and it helps mightily when you are seeking help or diagnosing the problem, and that applies to all problems, not just backfires..

      Anyone have any ideas how I could remove this drain plug from the front hub it's a little below the surface.

      Anyone ever try this method for removing a tire from the rim? I tried the bottle jack method, but the jack kept slipping down the tire.
      This option seems to focus the pressure right at the bead, but I'm wondering if there are other options that you've had success with.
