So ??

Bragger....... :>)

NO !! Use a socket that just fits the outer edge and place it squarely on the bearing. Tap gently with a ball peen hammer and it will slowly come out of the housing. Replace with a new one the same way. By the way, these bearings are sealed units. If you put your finger on the inner race and feel an...

Thanks for checking into it. Just a minor thing, but those (minor things) are what bother me the most.

Annually is fine as long as you don't see any oil buildup around the tranny. Only happened once to me and a seal was on the way out. Fixed that and no more problems. Always flush it annually. Sediment does build up and over time (probably several years) it would wear the bearings and the gears in th...

Install the Active-X, then it works

Stupid question.....
I used to display an avatar that was chosen from the gallery. I always upgrade my PCs and have updated to SP2 in XP.
Is this why I can no longer see the icons? If I go back to the gallery and try to display any, it just appears as boxes, even if I click on 'display picture'.

I prefer to see what the acid level is. Overcharging depletes the acid and you run dry and ruin the battery. I can always top up later if I can see it. Some of the newer maintenance free are actually filled with a jell and won't spill, making it safer, but I prefer being able to see it and know for ...

Yes, of course you can use auto tranny fluid in a manual transmission if it was designed for it. I'm just stating that the Mopar I had was factory designed for auto fluid and it wore out the transmission. Swapped to heavy gear oil and no more problem. Won't hold up under heat. I change the fluid in ...

I'm in the process of rebuilding a machine. I went to both and looked up ring/piston/rod bearings and gaskets. That's the price quoted by each. Yes, there is a big difference.

Ya'll say what you may, but I'm sticking to two-stroke in the tranny. Sno-mo injection oil, never had a problem, never have noise, never have to wait for a warmup before I get top speed on the bike. Thicker oil is going to really slow you down, that's a given. Tranny fluid for a car - no way. It's g...

Motor 'whirrs'.....Is it turning the engine over or not?
Could be the starter is not engaging the bendix.
Pull plug and check for spark. You can also listen for engine turning over.

I always get mine from the (dare I say) Yamaha dealer. $20, no core fee and NOT maintenance free. (I prefer to put in the acid myself).

They're pressed in. No big deal - just use an appropriate size socket and ball peen hammer to push out and same to push back in. It's easy.

You'll like what you get, believe me. Four ply vs two ply from Honda. Stiffer and much more rugged. Keep us informed of your experience with them.
