Like an inch an a hlf to where to you fill an screw in the dip stick Wow , yes it was way too full. If you do not screw the dipstick in , the oil should read halfway up the markings on the dipstick. |

An inch and a half from the top of what ? The top of the dipstick or the top of the oil port ?

I finally got the buell running pretty darn good. I adjusted the primary chain in the clutch and did a few other things . I had what felt like a miss at warm up but after drilling out the air fuel plug I finally found that it was way too lean . I also removed the valve cover vent hose from the airbox and ran it into a homemade catch can with a filter mounted up higher. I also installed new shinkos on front and rear. Went from a rear 120/80/16 to a 140/70/16 and I went from a 100/80/16 on front to a 110/80/16 .

What sucks now , is that I am unable to relax and take a nice comforting ride . I'm too busy scanning in front of me to be able to relax.

I don't know if I even was on morphine. First drug was Hya-something/Apap. Those were what I threw up. Second was Tramadol, which made me really loopy last time I had them. That's what made me afraid to take them this time. Although that other time, I'd gone through one bottle fine, and part of the second before it hit, so I might've been fine for a few doses at least. Instead, I downgraded myself to regular old Extra-Strength Tylenol. And right now I'm lying here with my right foot STILL complaining, wondering if I should've just taken a single Hya-apap instead of two Tyl. And I walked around far less than I had yest. Sigh. Although I did take a sort-of bath. I asked for this, I wanted this? >'Kat The first was prob " hydrocodone " which is vicodin. The tramadol is another narcotic that was at first not considered a narcotic but after people started getting addicted to it they recently changed its classification. Its a whole other drug then all the opiates . it has more of a mental effect and can cause seizers if overdosed with. The only good thing that came of my addiction is that , I'm now almost have the education to become a pharmacist , lol. |

Yes (I think). but the larger wheel will make it seem like you are taking off in 2nd gear instead of first gear. Engine will struggle because the "effective" gearing will not be as low. But once going the little wheel scooter will redline while the bigger wheel scooter is just catching it's stride. The difference is how effectively power is applied to the road. And the big surprise (to me, anyway), is that the little 10" wheel makes a REALLY big change in the effective ratio between the clutch shaft and the road. Yep, that's what I meant when I was talking about the power. This video is kind of helpful only backwards. The wheel in this case " in the video " is acting more like a gear since the shaft is turning the wheel at its outer edge. But since our power turning the wheel comes from the axle attached to the center , the wheel will make a full rotation the same time the axle does , no matter what size wheel. But yes the power needed to turn the bigger wheel is greater , that's why u can go with taller gears on the smaller size wheels. Both have their plus sides. You can hit 40 mph at a lower rpm with bigger wheels , but you can also reach a higher rpm quicker with smaller wheels. Its all a matter of getting the ratio that fits your scoots HP and wheel size the wah you want it . |

Another way to explain it is that if you push a 13 inch wheel scoot at a steady 5 mph , the inner gears will spin at a slower rate the what the gears in a 10" wheel scoot would spin. But the rotation ratio between the back wheel and the gears of both will stay the same. The whole thing is based on the axle. Your axle does not care what size wheel it has attached to it . it will make its full rotation at the same time the back wheel does. The ration of turns the axle has compared to the final drive gears stays the same no matter what size wheel is on the axle. It just takes more power to spin a bigger wheel. Thus it makes it easier to burn rubber on smaller size wheel.

1. Yep - the bigger wheel's effect is that it travels further down the road in 1 rev .... 2. Nope, it's not just raw horsepower, otherwise there would be no gears in cars. 3. the smaller wheel, compared to the bigger wheel, is no different than having a final reduction gear that the bike with the larger wheel doesn't have. So the smaller wheel bike acts like it's in a lower gear at all times. All other things the same this means it will be faster of the line but top out at a lower speed. 4. What was surprising to me was the AMOUNT of impact the smaller wheel has (like a final reduction gear of 1.2 to 1). This means that even the tallest gear set - the 17/36 - acts like a SMALLER gear set on a 10" wheel than even the 17/41 gear set does on the 13' wheel (ratio on a 17/36 but with a 10" wheel = 2.6 to 1; ratio of a 17/41 on a 13" wheel = 2.4 to 1). I think we are talking about the same thing , but I'm just explaining it a little to much. Let's say we open the CVT cover. Next we put the scoot up on the center stand so the back wheel does not touch the ground. If we turn the bell with our hands , one full turn , the back wheel will make the same length of rotation on each 13 and 10 inch wheel. Of course if the scoot was on the ground the 13 inch scoot will travel further , but the rotation ratio of the wheels would be exactly the same. Now when it comes to the final drive gears , one can make a complete rotation without the other gear making its full rotation. So what I am getting at is , aa set of final drive gears will cause a ten and 13 inch wheel to make a full rotation at the same moment . the only 2 differences is that the bigger wheel needs more power to make its full rotation , and the bigger wheel will cause the scoot to travel further with each rotation. So the ratio from the final drive gears to the back wheel stays the same with both size wheels . or I can say the axle itself is spinning at the same rate with either size wheel. Since the inner gears turn the axle , and the wheel is connected to the axle , the the wheel will make a full rotation the same time the axle does. The easiest way to explain it is : if you make make a mark on the bell , and a mark on the 10" wheel , next push the scoot until the wheel rotates one full rotation. At the same time keep track how many rotations the bell makes. Next do the same with the 13" wheel . the bell will make the exact same numbers of rotations which both , as the wheel rotates once. The only difference again is the travel distance the scoot makes and while the scoot is running , it takes a little more power to turn the bigger wheel. |

Just got through changing fluids, plug and adjusting A/F, checked belt and its holding up but I notice it's not getting all the way up variator face( But I'm going to try a little heavier roller, I currently have 12g's in there now) so I may order an 842-20-30 and save the 835 for an emergency spare. Once again thanks for the feedback. Most on her will recommend the 842 , I never buy the 835 , but it will be good for a backup. |

There is a seal on the shaft of the starter that should keep water from entering the engine.

OK, see if this makes sense (this might be helpful to others in making gear set decisions) 1. First, we need to see what going from a normal (13 inch) wheel down to a 10 inch wheel does. The question is about the circumference of the tire - how far on the road it travels with ONE rotation. The circumference is from the diameter (times pi), and the diameter is made up of the wheel (say, 13 inches) PLUS the height of tire on the top AND the tire on the bottom. Typical 13" wheel and tire Tire - 3.58" on top and on bottom of wheel Wheel - 13 Diameter - 20.16 inches Circumference (distance traveled in 1 rotation) - 63.33 inches Typical 10" wheel and tire Tire - 3.31" on top and on bottom of wheel Wheel - 10 Diameter - 16.62 inches Circumference (distance traveled in 1 rotation) - 52.21 inches Effective reduction ratio = 63.33/52.21 = 1.22. So, if you are used to thinking about gear sets and ratios on a bike with 13 inch wheels, you need to think that going down to 10 inch wheels will be like adding another reduction gear of 1.22 to 1. Whatever ratio (on 13" wheels) you are thinking about, multiply it by 1.22 to find the "effective" ratio of the same gear set on 10" wheels.2. For the gear sets you guys have been speaking about: Ratio Gear Set Effective 13" Ratio - 10" 2.41 17-41 2.94 2.40 15-36 2.  2.38 16-38 2.  2.31 16-37 2.82 2.25 16-36 2.75 2.12 17-36 2.58 Makes a BIG difference going to 10 inch wheels! 3. Here is a chart showing how much the change to 10 inch wheels alters the "ratio"  So, for example: Say you have 13 inch wheels and a 16/37 gear set (ratio 2.31 to 1). If you put 10 inch wheels on, and didn't change anything else, it would be like having a ratio of 2.82 to 1 ~~~~ which is even a taller ratio than having 14/39 gears in the bike with larger wheels! (see the earlier chart) Please correct me if I'm wrong . this means using 17:36 gears will turn the smaller diameter wheel easier but have a higher ratio? Meaning 17:36 gears on 13 inch rims will be tougher on the engine and have a lower ratio . so 17:36 gears will have a better chance of succession on the 10" wheel . Wait a minute actually wouldn't it have no difference on the rotation of the back wheel " as in how many times to turns " but it would just make it harder on the engine to turn the taller wheel ? Let's say you have a thirteen inch wheel on one scoot and a ten inch on another . we are using the same gearing let's just say 14:38 like I have now. The axle will turn at the same rate on both , so when u install the different wheels the axle will spin the wheel at the same exact rate but the engine will have a tougher time making the back wheel turn on the 13" then the 10" right. If you make a mark on the ten inch rim and on the axle nut , the mark on the rim will turn with the other mark and never change. The only difference will be that the scoot with the 13 inch wheel will go further on one rotation then the 10" inch wheel scoot. Therefore the rate of rotations should be the same but because of the taller diameter of the 13 inch wheel the scoot will travel.further each rotation and need more power to be able to make the full rotation . So a small wheeled scoot will be able to except a taller gear set because its easier on the engine to turn the smaller diameter wheel . what's the plus to adding taller gears on a smaller wheeled scoot ? They keep the rpms from reaching the max therefore you have More room to gain more mph at top end . If we were somehow able to install a 50" rim on the axle , the rim itself will make a full rotation every time the axle makes its full rotation. When it comes to.the back wheel it all comes down to to horse power on how fast the rotation is made. So a smaller wheeled scoot should be able to use taller gears then a bigger wheeled scoot would be able too , because the engine on a smaller wheeled scoot isn't working as hard at each rpm. |

Did the morphine give you pleasant hallucinations, like you were driving the Taurus again, Kat? The morphine never made me hallucinate, but it was the only thing that relieved my pain. I definitely understand how people with chronic pain get addicted to those opiates and other pain killers. It sucks many who take the meds for pain , don't even realize they are getting addicted to it. If someone takes the recommend dose of let's say 1 5mg oxycodone every 4 yrs as needed for pain, and theyve been taking it for years , more than likely the are addicted and do not know it. That's why when they don't have it they feel even worse or need to take more because the pain seems to be getting worse. I know someone who has been taking pain meds for years but does not think they are addicted. They think the pain is just getting worse " maybe it is " but more than likely its because they have built a tolerance to the dose they were on. My own opinion , I believe methadone should be used for chronic pain besides other opiates. It does not destroy your organs and u do not build a tolerance to the dose like u do from most other pain meds. I do know a couple older people that are prescribed 10 mg every 12 yrs of methadone for their pain , and they have never increased the dose in years. And the good thing is that they do not have to go to some clinic to dose every day , they can just have their doc or a pain clinic prescribe it to them . |

One thing that really bothers me is the phrase " drugs and alcohol " I guess it makes everyone feel better about drinking, lol. Don't get me wrong , I'm not against drinking at all . yes I have not drank in nearly 13 years , I just don't have the urge to drink since the addiction took hold. I just really hate that phrase , lol. Alcohol is one of the worse drugs out there . its one of the only drug that has a withdraw that can actually kill you . I do believe it does take much longer to get to that point with alcohol but when someone does , it horrible. Not to mention, when we would drink , it alters the mind like no other. I'm not for legalizing marijuana " only because having alcohol and marijuana both legal , there will be much more drug related incidents" . that said , I do believe marijuana alone is not as bad as alcohol. If it wasn't for the quick and harsh Addiction, opiates would not be as bad as alcohol. You don't see people riding on top of cars and acting like a nut while on opiates and many other drugs. I know it sounds like I'm against alcohol , but its not the alcohol I'm against , its the ones who act like they are so against drugs while they are stumbling around with a can of beer in their hands. Hel , I'm sure at some point I'll have a few drinks , but its just been on the back burner for awhile. I agree with that, I don't do pot, never liked feeling slow and stupid, but it is proven that it is not as dangerous (physiologically as well as psychologically) as alcohol or tobacco, there are not reports ever of a dead by pot abuse, pot fries your brain, but that's up to the pot smoker if he/she wants to turn stupid, as long as they follow the same rules than with alcohol (like no smoking pot and driving, no underage smoking...) I don't care if it is legalized. The main issue I have with both being legal " alcohol and marijuana " are the many that will be using both together. I've done it a few times back in the day and every time it was an instant trashed feeling. I also never liked the feeling of smoking , but after about 12 or more beers in me I would tend to say " why not " . next thing , my head is spinning and when I fall asleep I always would end up throwing up somewhere other then in the bathroom . I as very good at staying somewhat civilized with just alcohol but mixing was not a good idea for me. Of course I do know many who , after just a six pack or so ,would be completely intolerable . they would have the occasional hit and run incidents while driving wasted, and this was one of the ones who were " so against drugs ". for some reason when we are younger we don't look at alcohol as a so called " drug " because it is legal . but when u really look at it , so are many opiates. Some would argue " well you need a prescription for those opiates " . but Its not that different from alcohol since it is also regulated, but by age. You need a prescription for many pain meds and u need to be of age to use alcohol along with all the other laws for both. Drinking your nightly or weekly alcoholic beverage , or even drinking heavier A couple times a week is fine , as long as it doesn't cause any type of driving accidents or doesn't lead to and illegal activity. |
