    i call b.s.!!!!!!

    I don't mind, I could have stopped poking the hornets nest a long time ago, and chose not to. we all have our passions and most of us won't understand the next guys, that's the way motorcycles work. it was unfair of me to mock something you are clearly very passionate about. I...

    i call b.s.!!!!!!

    http://m.superstreetbike.com/features/0912_sbkp_200_mph_quarter_mile/viewall.html we all measure fast with a different yardstick... land speed records are lame, almost anything will go 200mph if you have 9 miles to get there and the wind at your back.

    i call b.s.!!!!!!

    ok, impressive, like an 8 second civic. I just can't see the Blast as a motorcycle, no matter how hard I try. sorry guys. besides, " fast Harley" and " fast buell", these are both oxymorons. pre Rotax anyways.

    i call b.s.!!!!!!

    Tools??? Uh, ur the guy bragging about how well he knows a fuking blast, lol. Anything you have to say about performance or racing becomes null and void the second you admit to knowing shit about a blast. lol. Really, if I want performance tips from a moped mechanic there is a...

    i call b.s.!!!!!!

    You can buy a tool specifically for this.... I'm not assuming, at this point I'm just fukin with jet, because he's getting so bent out of shape over a spark plug and I find it amusing. honestly Idgaf if someone wants to spend 100$ per plug to gain 1hp in their lawnmower. that's...

    I am very familiar with the Blast engine, it's exactly HALF of the one that's in my xb12. lol.

    i call b.s.!!!!!!

    No, I am just content winning races. lol. and we all know racing is about cubic dollars... no need to get your panties in a bunch. I see a 33$ plug the same as a 15$ quart of oil. not worth the added cost when ur measuring in seconds/dollar. this is just my opinion, and...

    i call b.s.!!!!!!

    I still want to know where the fuk you buy a 35$ plug??? I know guys running sub 9 second quarters (cars not bikes) that run crappy 3$ autolite plugs... so, tell me again how u justify 35$ / plug.... I'm sure somewhere along the line you have had some expierence that...

    i call b.s.!!!!!!

    wow, all of this clever banter.... race plugs are not suitable for the street period. reading plugs and truly understanding ignition tuning can not be learned by reading a manual, it takes expierence. I raced motocross for years, and track tuned on a weekly basis reading plugs...

    i call b.s.!!!!!!

    WTF??? 36$? I run NGK iridium in everything I own (except the lawnmower) and I have never paid over 7$ per plug! 5 cylinder blast???

    Range Rover Runs Over Bikers

    ^^^Sorry, I don't see the balance between being paralyzed and driving while suspended..^^^ I am positive his family (who will now most likely have to care for him for the rest of his life) doesn't either. A lot of bikers have lived through the transgressions of their youth as you have, some...

    Range Rover Runs Over Bikers

    I see what you mean, but the guys in front of the SUV had only been obstructing traffic (from a legal stand point) where as the second individual to enter your home has done just that, entered your home and thus has become a threat. I would liken the biker in front of the SUV more to the "third...

    Range Rover Runs Over Bikers

    ^^ My logic is this, if you use a vehicle to intentionally injure or kill a person it is no different than using a firearm. When using a firearm in self defense you are absolutely liable and accountable for injury to any person other than your attacker. In this case the biker that was was run...

    Range Rover Runs Over Bikers

    Having a wife (and mother to my children) that rides, this is one of my biggest concerns. While we don't ride with any clubs or sizable groups, I believe (and have seen) that in general drivers today will use their larger and safer vehicles to "bull" their way into and out of traffic, including...

    Clutch toast at 24k?

    Oh, one more thing to do, as you reassemble the clutch scuff the steel plates in two patterns (first a cross hash then a light circular). Do this with a piece of 320 grit sandpaper that you tape to a mirror or other piece of glass. If you have a granite gauge block this is best, but most people...

    Clutch toast at 24k?

    That's bad stuff right there. If it all checks out, I would clean, reassemble, and adjust the clutch then run the ATF that I had mentioned earlier (at least for a while). This should take care of any slipping. That goop could definitely be the cause of the slipping. I do like Barnett stuff...

    clicking noise when stopping

    You will need to change the steering head bearing. Once the bearing seals start to dry rot and crack they allow water to enter, and as the bearing wears you will start to hear the clicking noise you are talking about when you stop. Tightening the steering head nut will make it stop, for a...

    Clutch toast at 24k?

    The mileage you can get out of a clutch heavily depends on how much you abuse it, burnouts and clutch wheelies can shorten a clutches life dramatically as well as drag racing. I am running an Energy One clutch (plates and spring) with ATF in the primary and couldn't be happier with it...
