  1. Last yr it seemed like it dumped almost 7 feet on us in 48 hrs:confused: We drank the bar dry by Sat. nite.......The people that stayed for the Super Bowl were kinda upset:laugh: It would be kewl to meet up with ya......
  2. How far are you from Diamond Lake????? Gonna hit that again this yr Jan. 30-Feb 1:yes: No need for flags there:wink: Diamond Lake 2008
  3. Im not a Quad guy....Thats pretty well known......LOL.... However,,,,,Ive been around Lots of Blasters.....Most of them Modded to the hilt....Not sure if Ive ever been near a Stock one..... Anyway,,,, 400cc 4 Stroke Vs. 200CC 2 Stroke Motor to motor is pretty Even.....Now add the Weight of Rider and The rest of the Quad and there is where you will Gain....Lots of Races are Won in the HOLESHOT.....Straight line races that is.....I think you will take it..... Just remember......To make it fair....Have a 3rd person Do the Hand Drop.....and another at the end to Judge...... 300Ft is a Common Drag length for ATV's...
  4. I gave you the link:wink: Motorcycle Parts, Motorcycle Accessories by BikeBandit.com Punch in your Bike,,,,,,Go to Wire Harness and the labels correspond with the numbers on the diagram:yes:
  5. Something like this?????? www.bikebandit.com
  6. Very Good INFO....thanks for posting....I will Sticky this one:yes:
  7. You may be running a little lean.....Or you may have an Exhaust Valve open or Closing Slowly.....
  8. Hows your Valves for Clearance....????? Also,,,,,Sometimes you could be getting some Cold air into the Exhaust at the head....The Cold air hitting the Hot air inside could cause some popping....Have you done a Plug Chop to see what your Jetting is Doing????/ Rich or lean???? There are just too many things that may be wrong....I would suggest you seek out the Cheapest Fix First and move up the ladder....
  9. Just send them to me and I will take care of everything:wink:
  10. This morning, from a cave somewhere in Pakistan, Taliban Minister of Migration, Mohammed Omar, warned the United States that if military action against Iraq continues, Taliban authorities will cut off America's supply of convenience store managers and possibly candidates for President of the United States. And if this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be next, followed by Dell and AOL customer service reps, and then Motel 6 managers. It's going to get ugly
  11. Who would win in these games???? Swimming Hole Free Diving CHIT Shoes Is that a Plunger in your Pocket or are you just happy to see me???
  12. Great Subject To Bump!!!!!!!!
  13. BUMP for the THRILLBILLY!!!!
  14. Bump for the Big Move:yes:
  15. Will you be putting this on her "TO DO" list????
  16. THE SAND GODS WERE SMILING AT YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!! Great Roost:yes: Im hitting Pismo next Weekend...Not sure if I will be able to ride much because of my Neck and Back But If I do.....I will try to get some Pics....Maybe some Video too....
  17. Hmmmmmm,,,,,,,,If I had the Know How there would be more....But I dont.....Im sure there are people that Frequent the other side of this site that do....Just sad they dont come in here....you could probably say the same about me:laugh: Ive done lots of Event Logo Design on the other Sites.....Its a Tough road....Im just glad that we had Forum members that were in KNOW on how to do this sort of stuff....Even with their knowledge of this it took Months to do.....Maybe that is why no one wants to do it..... Here is an Example of this yrs T..... This Design changed like 10 Times before it was Finalized...... Now that I look at it closer....This isnt the Design we used.....!!!! LMAO!!!!
  18. Really!!!! :laugh:
  19. The numbers in the designations of the different oils being discussed refer to their viscosity, grade or weight. Don't confuse grade with quality. Viscosity and grade, for the purposes of this discussion, refer to an oil's ability to flow and lubricate. Therefore, a lower grade oil simply flows more easily than a higher grade oil. At the heart of this discussion is temperature. Temperature changes an oil's viscosity. Hot oil is generally thinner than cold oil. A good example is Margarine. Margarine is a vegatable oil (mostly) that congeals at room temperature. Put it in a hot frying pan and it becomes a thin liquid quickly. Oil in an engine operating at normal temperature serves several purposes. It helps seal unwanted gaps between internal engine parts, it carrys heat away from hot parts ...and, perhaps most importantly, it lubricates. To lubricate, oil forms a thin layer, or film, between two parts. The parts slide on the oil film instead of against each other. Since hot oil is thinner (lower viscosity) it flows more readily than cold oil. If it flows too readily, however, it will flow right out from between the parts you wish to lubricate. Therefore, there is a "minimum" viscosity the manufacturer recommends to ensure the engine's parts remain lubricated when it reaches normal operating temperature. Why is this important? Let's look more closely at the specifications. 5W40 means the oil is a base stock 5 weight oil (weight is the industry term describing an oil's grade) with Viscosity Index Improvers (VII) added to make the oil less prone to flow out when hot. VII's are special polymers that change shape when heated, thus changing the oil's flow and lubrication characteristics. When the oil is cold (the "W" stands for "winter" BTW, not "weight") it will flow like the 5 weight oil it is. When the oil gets hot, though, that 5 weight oil gets too thin to lubricate. That's when the VII's must do their job; they unfold and help the oil lubricate like a thicker 40 weight oil. An oil can only do its job when it is present. What I mean is, if the oil is too thick when cold, it takes much longer to pump it to the places inside the engine it needs to be to provide lubrication. In fact, unless you are a racer spending the majority of your riding time with the engine RPM north of 8,000, most engine wear due to friction between moving parts occurs right after start up -- especially when it's cold outside. Why? Because the oil takes a few minutes to flow to all those critical parts. Hot, thin oil is much easier to pump around your engine. For example, it's easy to suck milk through a straw. Now imagine sucking butter through that same straw. Cold oil is thicker, and takes longer to pump around the engine. Therefore, there is a "maximum" viscosity a manufacturer will recommend to allow oil to flow to critical engine parts when cold. This was posted on another board I frequent......Thought it might help here........:cheers2c:
  20. I moved this here......Might get a Better response than being in the 3 Wheeler Section:wink:
