Gear Heads Unite

Ok so pulled my XR400r out to give it some TLC, it's been sat in my garage for over a year (or 2) with no lov'n.. Pulled off the super heavily oil coated UNI filter (got my brand new can of UNI cleaner I bought about the same time as the bike, pop off the top of the cleaner..no nozzle.. find a nozzle.. spray the UNI inside and out as per instructions.. left it 10 mins (instructions say 3 mins), went to wash up under tap...frigging thing disintegrated in my hands... is this what happens if you leave the cleaner on too long or do you think it was cleaned wrong before or maybe just old? The guy I bought the bike off was a complete numpty so... Going K&N but don't …

The United States is not running out of oil. In fact, nobody on the entire globe has more energy resources than the United States does. The truth is that we are absolutely swimming in oil and natural gas and we have so much coal that we have no idea what to do with it all. At current consumption rates, America has enough energy resources to completely satisfy all of its needs well into the 22nd century. If we would just access those resources, we would not have to import a single drop of foreign oil. But most Americans don't realize that we have plenty of oil. In fact, our education system has brainwashed most Americans into believing that our energy resources are r…

“Reagan said we can come to agreements if we have seven out of ten. I’m going to give three out of 20. Do you ‑‑ are you personally, or can you name a friend or a relative, anyone that has three of these?” Do you, or do you know of ANYONE who can honestly get 3 out of 10 of these? NObama is REALLY out there.... 1. Do you know anyone who has the understanding and gained their understanding of Jesus Christ and defend it, and they got that understanding from someone like Jeremiah Wright? Do you know anyone who is a good Christian that believes there is no salvation unless there’s collective salvation? 2. Do you know somebody who is raised and/or mentored by communis…

http://www.offtopic.forum/uploads/imported/2012/05/trx450rstockcarbvsfcr44-1.png Here is my before and after with the stock 2005 carb jetted right compared to a YFZ FCR straight bored to a 44. I picked up 2 HP across the board as you can see which actually seems low. I also ran a max speed test up Olds to compare the 2 carbs in the same weekend. Max speed with the stock carb was 49mph and max speed with the 44 FCR was 52 mph!!! I thought that shows how big of a difference the carb can make. My 2 dyno runs were not done back to back. The fcr was put on a couple of months later when the motor had more time on it so that could be why the difference isn't greater. Mot…

I've been looking to send out my head for port,polish,cam and valve job. who would you suggest and why? I,ve already talked with Charlie at Rossier. Thanks

After reading some posts about 2 seperate machines having metal shavings after running Rotella, i wanted to see if others are noticing the same thing. I've been running this stuff in lots of machines over the past few years and have never seen a problem, but i have heard just about every reason not to run it. My local buddies say not to run it because it's not designed for high revving motors, or wet clutches, etc.....this is all talk since these guys don't have any first hand experience, they are just assuming since it's labeled as a diesel oil and it's cheap, that it's crap. I personally love this oil and have not seen metal shavings due to running it. Does a…

I have not been able to find any facts on this either way but I cannot see this happening. A lot of the OEMs use Dunlops on their quads. This is easy guaranteed sales. I hope I can find more for an answer. Never bought a set myself but Im sure someone likes them.

Do you guys like the old way? New posts are there from your last login and will stay there until you log off, downside is that if your session times you out your New Posts will be refreshed. Or the new way that keep anything you haven't read in your New Posts however once you've opened it, it is no longer considered a New Post?

did a duner for a guy last week and figured I throw up the numbers. wasn't going all out on this one as this was one of my "budget port" jobs with the exception of adding +1 valves.

I am trying to keep a handle on this spam thing till after my wedding. I know many of you are sick of it coming through as trust me, I am too. I delete over 200 spammers a day at the rate of 1 every 4 minutes. When I sleep Ill wake up to over 100. Its almost $200 bucks for a spam plug in that checks an IP and email address against a big Vbulletin database that rejects it instantly. i guess it really controls the spam. Im severly tapped until after my wedding in a month. But this is getting out of hand now. All resources are going to getting a logo, stickers, and tshirts made. So I was asked to start a donation fund for it. I kind of shuned the idea but I figur…
