Hmmmm
Verryyyy IInntarasting
How the did it get that bad?
I'm surprised it was anywhere near running to get that bad
But, a little gorilla glue and duct tape should fix it up just fine.
Ot, just get the 200 for 475.00
Can't wait for the next update

Thank you, Doug; didn't know about the possibility of breakage. Dave, don't suppose you taught at Lowry? I took my basic PMEL course (9 months) and two advanced courses there (Tactical Analysis/Identify Friend/Foe systems and Advanced Electronics Diagnostics, for about another 5 months combined). That was one of my choices, but I worked at DFAS, then it was the Air Force Accounting And Finance Center. In  , it was that big brick 3 story building way over in the corner of the base. |

When I turn over the kick starter when the bike is cold,there is resistance,not a crazy amount but you can feel it,when I ride for a bit the kick starter is very hard when it's on the compression stroke,why is this? The compression stroke is exactly that: Compressing the air and gas into a smaller and smaller area (that being the cylinder and the piston making the combustion chamber smaller and smaller), thereby creating resistance. But, I defer to alley |

Dave, you are the first person I have heard say that a battery operated 1/4 impact would work, you must have a good one. Sure the locking device like hypocycle posted is a good tool and it will let you use any wrench or ratchet you have in your tool box that will do the job. I have a Habor Freight 120 volt plug in that works well, I think I got it on sale for 50% off and gave about $20.00 for it several years ago, if yuou go with something like that it is always better to get the impact sockets that go with it or you might break your regular socket using it. Actually Abscooters said that. I'm asking what the tourque setting is and why a torque wrench and/or breaker bar wouldn't do the same job. I'm just afraid of getting it too tight and screwing something up, like not being able to get the nut off next time (whch I believe I read a thread somewhere about that, and the guy had to use a nut buster (like an ex wife) to get it off. I'll make a trip to HF and check em out tho, for if/when the time arises Thanx dave |

They are hard to get off because they have to go on so tight, and when you're tuning weights, it's on/off/on/off/on/off. Mine flew apart mid-ride one time; unpretty result. Dave did you ever serve at Langley? I was in -94, Langley then Eielson. (PS I was PMEL; used to calibrate torque wrenches haha... this is about speed of application for frequent changes though). Yea, they go on tight, just curious what the torque setting was, if any. No, never did Langley. But did Clark/Grissom/Nellis/Homestead/Bentwaters/March/Misawa and Lowry. Thanx for serving Dave |

I saw an Elvis scooter yes Elvis at my dealers shop and he said it was a nightmare to remove the body I know that's gotta be a play on words there, but, not sure. (knowing he was extremely bloated at the time of his death) |

I'm sorry you gotta leave em for a while. I had the same problem when I was in the military and moved from stateside to oseas and back. I paid a lot of money to take those animals with me/us But, a cute story (maybe:) I was talking with my brother last nite wishing him a happy birthday, and we started talking about his new cat. He named him Herpes!! I said 'Herpes, "  He said he named him Herpes..."cause he always keeps coming back" Adn that's a true story-only my idiot brother could come up with that That's the kinda thing you can't make up |

Or, if the Ins Co totals it, and you can repair it for less than the price of a new one, have em total it, pay you, then you buy it back at a reduced cost, and fix it for less. and put the xtra money in your pocket
But, you'll get a salvage title, and may have a hard time selling it in the future, if that's what you decide to so.

I'm confused (a normal state of mind)
Why are we using an impact wrench for the variator nuts anyway?
Don't they have a specific torque setting?
Can't a torque wrench do the job?
And can't a breaker bar remove it?
Yea, I know an impact wrench is great for removing/installing lug nuts, cause it's easier, but me thinks just slamming a nut on the variator can't but somehow overtorque it.
What am I missing here?
(No , seriously, I'm missing something, please tell me)
