yeah it's the closest my budget can get to a big bore oil burner from the 60s and 70s....that and the smell of blendzall.....now that my Blaster is gone I rarely smell it. 'It's like music to your nose..." LOL It is the smell of times past but still works fine today! If I buy a big bore 2 stroke and restore it are you gonna drive clear out here again and show me how to ride it? or maybe BUY it? it will be too much for me to be sure...... i'll go buy more ribs and beer!!!!

didnt you throttle my 660? I have had more than one person fall off! pushin it in 2nd and 3rd, NO LIE ask Sean, his is still box stock. mine's not, tho it feels like it. Just give it a little push and hang on!

1. do you sleep? 2. a 4fiddy 4 stroke and a 500 pinger are 2 different creatures. 3.ride them both and you will understand, grasshopper. Do this, and you may earn hair like mine. and you will deserve it.

a good pair of 20s will make it perfect! you'll love it! send us videos!!!! please?

you don't remember? I do. It's something you won't forget! hahahaha:bouncing_smiles::bouncing_smiles:

Good for you! Sounds like fun! when it sucks the air out of your lungs then it's geared right!

the GMC in the front yard - that 2wd is goin' NOWHERE for awhile!

OMG it worked FINALLY! Merry Christmas!!!!! good luck crawling into THIS doghouse, it's in my back yard! [bring your own sleeping bag]

clean all the terminals first and check all the connections! batteries are not cheap, make SURE it is the solution, happy to help if needed.

I believe he would do it LOL

It looks correct to me, the question is... WHY? we're all knuckleheads, not scientists. most of us know this stuff: grab the plug wire and turn it over: if it makes you spit out your chaw, them it has spark. If you swallow your chew or stain yer shorts, then it has REALLY GOOD SPARK. then we just consider fuel and air. simple. tHANX FOR THE TECH!

Yeah like I said heart disease does the same thing to ya, it's scary as sh**, but doesn't hurt that much....so weird. Keep your lungs clear buddy and I'm sure the Doc gave you BPmed and blood thinners, plus anti clotting meds, so don't spring a leak! been there hated that! have they done a blood gas on you? it's that little clamp on a fingertip with a red light in it. Apparently you don't need oxygen at home or they would have prescribed it. Hopefully you'll be OK, but O2 is COOL when you are breathless, so complain until they prescribe it if you need it. I haven't got it yet but I'm workin on it.... If you don't know what a cannulus is, that's good: if you don't know what a catheter is, that's even better! LOL! [thats a joke] since I dont know your situation. SEE some of us old farts KNOW about this shtuff. Only the dumbass discounts the advice of a wiser man, because he will have only one chance to do it. Take your time and get better, think about SSI, which could lead to SSDI and after 2 years, medicare, regardless of age. You're young, you'll get better, all the best. I've been thru it, so feel free to PM questions to me. SORRY, this was NOT where I intended this thread to go but if it does positive good, then it was worth it!

Thanks for the updated info! I have not seen a carb [from Yamaha anyway] with a TPS on it. Our altitude varies so much here that we try to strike a happy medium...

you betcha! I'll leave my cane in the truck- all I have to do is get on the seat LOL:wink:

I died of a heart attack in the E.R. they defibrillated me 4 times before I restarted [5 and you go downstairs to the freezer]. I quit cold turkey, that was Dec29,1998. I have not smoked since then. There are some new meds out that work- he or someone should talk to his doctor. He'll feel SO much better after he quits. I saved so much money that after I year I bought a new hot tub for CASH $5K which would have been cigarette money...

YOU, my friend, go easy! I was thinking about welding smoke and yes, it is a product of combustion so you could be inhaling some nasty stuff. CO and CO2 in particular can hurt you and you can't even smell it. Take your time and let yer lungs heal. I'm kind of surprised welders aren't required to wear breathers like auto painters are now. IF you happen to smoke, give it up for Christmas OK? I'm within a week of 10 years smoke free now! I'd be pushin up daisies had I not quit.....

Yeah well, it's not the years but the miles, especially in your case! LOL:wink:

There is a tombstone on Boot Hill in Deadwood South Dakota that has stuck with me since I first read it as a child. It has a name and some dates and below it is written this: "Where you are now, I once was; where I am now, soon shall you be." In the blink of an eye YOU CHARACTERS will be the elders and the subject of humor. Despite all our hopes, we will not live forever......

if she peeked at the presents under the tree, perhaps this is a warning! there isn't a thighmaster among them is there? your future does not bode well....however DIAMONDS ALWAYS WORK! they'll get you out of nearly anything....

that's kinda strange.....It it's fuel infected, it'll have a throttle position sensor, but not if carbed. carbs have air mixture screws but fuel injection does not, at least not enuf to compensate for altitude. and 4 weeks? wow. we commonly rejetted them here for 4000' alt but most all will still glow red in the dark. Adam mentioned an EGA {exhaust gas analyzer} maybe the bike shop doesn't have one but most car dealers and better independents do. that'll tell you if it is lean in about 2 minutes..... Actually bringing them up the hill should make them run rich, not lean, since the air is thinner. it gets less air but the same amount of fuel.

I agree Bot! I sure miss my hot tub! maybe I'll come across a used one somewhere....

WARN is in Portland OR and I know they have a WATS line....should be no problem.

I agree with AJMBOY: I don't know much about ACs, but if you are piped then go with what Dynojet says- they do it for a living. Plus they have an 800 number you can call which helps a lot.

todays HIGH in Bend OR was +3.7f, that's -15.7c. didn't even make the news, cuz of NO power outages, NO traffic accidents, we are prepared for it. What is it with the northeast USA? Those ice storms happen every year and they are never proactive about it. That must be a total pain! I have my own generator for power outages, 4KW [i doubt it'll start, will have to drain race gas from a quad] but woodstoves in every building and plenty of firewood! All the high voltage lines are redundant so an outage usually lasts less than a second. I went to town today and tried to get into my snowsuit; I got it on but I had to pee every ten minutes!hahaha the bibs MUST have shrunk in the dryer last time....yeah that's it! they shrunk! All the crazy minivan moms were out completely unequipped and unprepared for subzero temps, SLICK roads, and slowed traffic. I thot this one 'humanoid' was trying to crawl right into the bed of my truck! She was so close I could only see the luggage rack....that is SO dense.....her minivan might scratch the paint on my chev K2500. It's up a couple inches and winter ready. I WONDER WHERE ALL THOSE TOYOTA PRIUS' ARE NOW? I ASSUME THEY ARE ALL BACK IN SUNNY CALIFORNIA CUZ I DID NOT SEE A SINGLE ONE! hahahahaaha yeah a great winter car just like Honda's little 'smurf shoe' man they'll bury ya in that one! spozed to be colder tomorrow.....Look at the bright side...I have fridge space now cuz I can leave the beer on the porch as long as I bring it in before i lock up......

someone stole the forks off the batcycle...... and that other one: electric super motard?
