Besides being hard to find spec for all the A cams, I read someplace, possibly on a buggydepot thread, that A8-10 are high RPM performers and A12-## are low RPM torqe monsters, or vice-verse. I tried quickly to find the thread but did not have any luck

Yea, who won the first one?
edit:
I guess we posted about the same time. So by "won" you mean the first person to add a caption is the winner?

That looks like mine, except I have only one icon separate form the task bar at the top or the tool bar on the left.
The reason I need to reload - during one fo the last OS upgrades, the video got screwed up. I have to start in a recovery mode or the screen will flip to black and stay that way until a reboot.
Possibly another reason - I have 32 bit running, but it is a dual core cpu and the Ubuntu seems to be running just one cpu.
I'm just being lazy. I need to back up my firefox settings and extensions and addons and faves before I wipe and start over.

I started using UPS's in 98. Made a difference on the win 98 machines! Win 2k was already more stable, but the power fluctuations were killer. I was logging the data from the big APCs, seeing 130+ down to upper 80V. After one major power outage where I was living then, finally it got more stable.
My parents were going through TVs. They have 60amp service for the entire farm. Even with nearly all CF lights, you can see other lights flicker when you turn on a ceiling light. Imagine what happens when the compressor kicks in! UPC for the TV and one for the desktop have helped a ton.
My current XP laptop came with Vista. That was horrible! Even upgraded from 512mb to 3gb ram, fast hdd, but it was pretty much unusable. Had all the security turned off but still, EVERY SINGLE TIME I opened Windows explorer or Internet Explorer (standard Windows applications) the dang thing would ask me two or three times if I was sure I wanted to open the potentially dangerous application. Vista should have never been released, and certainly not on a single core entry level laptop. I upgraded that back to XP and was much happier, until a friend gave me a 32 bit win7.
Since I had a new Win 7 HP, I wanted to use the older laptop in the garage, The EFI software doesn't work with win7, so I went back on that one to XP.
I know two people who had built to the hilt PCs and they loved Vista. One is a bit paranoid, so he didn't mind the insane security.
My Acer netbook came with Vista - probably why it was on sale. Never even started it on Vista, wiped it and went linux.

I like it, I need to do a reload, its been running ubuntu for like 4 years. Only use it for surfing. I use windows for the EFI data logging, in the garage. This laptop came with 7 and runs pretty well.
All the PCs and laptops at work are win 7, but only the very very newest ones, (like this week new) have 64 bit OS. And maimed with crap-tons of security that make you feel like you are running Vista .
My mom even had a netbook with linux that she managed to use.

There should be a gasket between the head and the pipe.
Both of my scooters came from the factory missing that gasket.

Look in the two stroke oil area, there is a larger syringe - maybe 300ml used for measuring the oil to mix with gas. And maybe will hold up to brake fluid longer than the rubber used on normal medical syringe

I do make some gaskets myself, paper or a Felpro exhaust gasket material, or RTV...
But I have not bothered to replace the worn and broken CVT cover gasket.

A sticking valve would cause it to not follow the rocker. New valve, dirty, new guide, something that was not clearanced correctly. If valve is stuck open, when the piston comes up, it would push on the valve and may cause it to release suddenly.
Seems to me someone said a while back they had got a new cam and the sprocket was misaligned to the cam, which would be bad timing for the valves.

Mom said I couldn't ride my bike with flip-flops, but she didn't say I couldn't ride Brad's!

My class was 200 I think, about 50 off the normal price. I got into the last class of the year. Transfers should work. Mayne they would require a new written test when it is time to renew.
Things that won't work: a rider from Wisconsin cannot just cross the boarder to Illinois to take a $20 course and then have a valid WI endorsement.
Is it Ohio that has a free MSC? Imagine all the new riders vacationing in OH just to take the free course!
