Adjusted my clutch lever to have a longer travel, bike runs again! I had adjusted it while riding and on the lowest setting there isn't enough clutch travel to disengage the switch.

The lights are strong when I turn the ignition then I press the starter and it dims. There is no dead battery noise, I press the starter and the lights dim and nothing else happens. I shorted the clutch switch, and I hear the fuel pump whir when I I push the kickstands switch.

Yes, the lights are strong and I just had a mechanic check the bike over last Saturday (just bought it - he said alternator and battery were good)

If it makes any difference I can bump start the bike. switches and fuse look good, is there a way to short out the kill switch easily to check?? When I turn the ignition to on there is a red indicator light on the instrument panel and the oil pressure symbol appears. I think that is normal...

li Yes, I have kickstands up, clutch in, key in on, kill switch on run and then hit ignition. Lights dim but bike doesn't start and engine doesnt turn over. Bike is in neutral and I see the neutral light on. There is a red light on beside neutral with the temperature thing on.

Was riding my bike and hit the kill switch accidentally. Bike obviously shut off, and then wouldn't start. What happened? SOLVED: I have adjustable levers, on the lowest setting it doesn't travel far enough to disengage the clutch switch, figured this out by sitting on the bike and just...

If it's a geometry problem, show your work. I don't see that solution.

Question about frame sliders. Would it be possible to build a frame slider that has a spring/damper system so that the energy was no transmitted to the frame/bracket?

WARNING: Extreme nerdiness occurring late on a Saturday night. Proceed at own risk. I would do it in 3 phases, knowing your horse power at the 3 phases of your acceleration is easier than trying to integrate the power curve throughout (although it is possible with software). I'd find your...

I think bills for fake calls, totally justified. If you make a call and no lives are in danger, just property, justified If someone else makes the call and you are the victim, unjustified. Its rendering of a service they are prescribed to do. It's the same with ambulances (at least from my...

Is there a way Deimos could have done this himself at home?

I used white lithium, easy to get from Wal Mart, cheap and it doesn't fling off. It's an alternative if you can't find the Dupont.

Thanks

You kind of were. I said I just was looking for tell tale signs before I took it to a mechanic to get it inspected. I know about using string front the front to back wheels to check alingment, but that doesn't lead itself to a quick inspection. What I was looking for is maybe a mechanic who...

nobody has checked a frame/forks for being bent before?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rain_tyre Was what I could find looking it up, I don't understand why the sharpness at the edge of the channel is so important. Understanding of course that those were race tires they were speaking about, intuitively it seems like tread depth and width matters a...

I think I'll echo what a lot of people said, the cop escalated the fight too quickly. Usually showing a weapon will stop people in their tracks. Firing a warning shot will make 90% of the world **** their pants with the other 10% being hardened Taliban soldiers who are either too high or fear...

troll thread became legit?

at 250 kph do you even need gear? I thought if you fall you'll ride the boundary layer to the ground.
