I just wanna ride

[pandy]

Hugh:

Your post is just WRONG on so many levels.

LED taillights and some pimpin' PURPLE NEONS (Hi Pandy!),  part it out and buy a new one. Oh, and dibs on the gauges and clusters...

Wanting a purple GS = suggesting pimping out a bike in purple neon?    Did someone say they're parting out?? DIBS!!

we'd all be a lot better off if they were ALSO told that they're entitled to keep their opinions to themselves. Yes, that applies to me as well, but I don't bombard people with advice to bulk up my post count;

So, you suggest that absolutely no one speak up unless they're 80 years old and have been biking for at least 70 of those years? As for you not bombarding people with advice to bulk up your post count, I can't really speak to that part, since you only seem to have been here for mere weeks (if that....lurked for 4 years? I have a hard time believing that you'd be ABLE to be here that long w/o hating on someone! Dude, are you sure you're not just another nickname for JoeRockingChair?  

because I've wasted far too much time posting computer repair advice in other forums; it isn't bad enough that I fix the damn things all day, I also have to punish myself at NIGHT too, over the 'net, for free...

Is your time wasted because folks don't take your God-like advice to heart? If something frustrates you, don't waste your time! Problem fixed!  

Anyway, I'm tired of dealing with fourteen year-old pornhounds, so a few days ago, I decided to start posting here, where I'm in the company of pornhounds like davipu, pandy, and 97gs500e (the notorious racist);

This is simply over the top, Hugh. Do you generally introduce yourself to forums by insulting as many people as you can? You can have all the experience in the world, but if you're going to start attacking people, what little credibility you might have is going to disappear quickly. Do I have a lot of experience with bikes? No, but I'm learning, and I'm fortunate that there are many kind veterans on this board willing to help me learn. If you'll read my first post on this thread carefully, you might find that I suggested NOT changing the heat of the plugs, and it's possible that a newbie can buy the wrong plugs, so it's a simple thing to look for, and it's something that can make the bike run, in technical terms, like caca.

If you're like to be helpful to the newbies, how about doing it without slamming everyone in the process. If you want to see maturity, perhaps you need to demonstrate same.

[Hugh Jardon]

Good job, Shane; I hope you can guess why ** I ** didn't tell you to put a rag in the air filter, but I'm REALLY glad you figured it out on your own. For obvious reasons, I didn't want to drop any hints, so you've shown me that you're following the logic here quite well.

Checking the valves can't hurt, but I don't imagine they'll be too far out of adjustment, if at all. Let us know as soon as you can.

The IMPORTANT issue for me is that you've PROVEN that the Uni-Filter is flowing too much air for the existing jetting. Once you've got the valve issue resolved, you're going to have to decide if you want to rejet for the Uni-Filter, or get another stock air filter, and probably have to rejet for that one as well.

I understand your aggravation with the problems you're having, and I want to make a suggestion on how you could really speed this up, so you can get some riding in before the snow flies. Since you'll probably have to rejet the carbs anyway, you might as well sync the carbs at the same time, or have snrinath do it for you; I imagine he could also handle the rejetting if you send him the filter, though I probably shouldn't commit him to something without his knowledge. Since he's out of work, I imagine he'll have the time to help you finish the carb work without a lot of fuss and delay, so you might as well ask him and see whether or not he wants to generate some income soon.

You've done well with this so far, but you've still got a ways to go. Think about paying srinath to speed this up for you, OK? You'll help yourself get back on the road, and he could probably use the income.

Pandy:

First of all, you posted while I was typing my last reply to Shane, so it has taken me a while to type this reply. Let me explain something to you: You first started posting here on a date very important to me, and I've really enjoyed seeing you develop and learn as a motorcyclist. You're knowledgeable and intelligent, with a lot of enthusiasm and a great sense of playfulness; I always figured you must get a lot of standing ovations in bed.

However, it seems to me you should read that entire segment again, because I wrote almost ALL of it as a JOKE! Maybe you can't see the humor in it, but I was on the phone to a girlfriend / occasional riding partner (who lurks here often) as I typed it, and SHE thought you (and davipu) would COLLAPSE from laughing while you read it; well, I've been wrong before, but DAMN! Denise was SOBER, and thought that it was a funny (though admittedly subtle) tribute to you, with your love of purple motorcycles (now SHE wants one!), and your wickedly funny sense of humor. At least it seems like you got the joke about "parting out" a perfectly good motorcycle!

Think about it; I INTENTIONALLY used the COLOR purple in the WORD purple just for YOU (and ONLY you, you sweet thing) rather than simply leaving it white, and I put only YOUR name in YELLOW, so it would standout near the purple, since (I've been told) they're complimentary colors (but what the hell do I know about colors? All I really know is that I hate disco-white wheels). It was my way of letting you know how much I enjoy reading your posts, along with most of what Dave writes, especially when he's been drinking. Maybe it was funnier to me because ** I ** was drinking for an hour or two before I started typing it, but in my defense, I can only say, DENISE LOVED IT, so I figured, OK, pandy will REALLY get a kick out of this!

I don't know what to tell you; maybe YOU should have a few drinks before you read it again; it really was written to make you laugh. I even said "HI PANDY!", hoping that you'd appreciate the singular acknowledgement! I didn't do that for anyone ELSE, did I? Gee, am I now supposed to think that you can't even tell when someone has a crush on you? I HID that in this thread INTENTIONALLY; I figured it was the best way to see if you'd LIKE popping up (unexpectedly) as the STAR of a paragraph in a thread having NOTHING to do with you! After all, we're trying to fix a jetting problem here!

As for the rest of your remarks, I simply don't have the time to address them now, but I see nothing wrong with poking fun at a racist, so I'm NOT going to apologize for doing that; there's more than enough prejudice and hatred floating around, and it's high time we called these people out, rather than pretend they don't exist.

Anyway, I have a meeting to attend, so I have to post this and run; I guess this means that you won't be going to the GS Rider's Cotillion with me this year after all; DAMN! Maybe you don't like being thought of as arm-candy, so I'll put it another way: Pandy is Dandy, but she might not have such a great sense of humor after all; what a shame! :kiss: HJ

ok, well this morning i got up and went to the parts store and picked up new plugs (champion 809), starter fluid, and gas. when i got home i gapped the plugs to about .76mm and filled the gas tank. and i decided to try to put a clean rag into the air filter and started the bike. now the bike runs and there is no dead spot in the rpm range,  yea , but now there is an eratic idle. i will get the bike to idle with the idle screw and the bike will idle at about 1500 rpm for 30-45 sec then shoot up to about 3000 or more rpms then drop after about 10 sec or so. i think i've pinpointed my one problem and now it looks like i have a bit of a diferent one. my choke does work and i get to about 5 or 6k rpms with the choke on full when the bike is at normal idle. i think my next step is to check the valves. hope you guys are ready for this new problem cause i'm getting kind of weiry of problems . thanks again, shane
oh and when i finally had the bike kind of running i did get a chance to ride and went about half a mile when the bike died going up a hill and stopped on a flat part thankfully and thanks to my dead battery could not start again, so i started to push. i luckily had one last downhill before the longer uphill to my house so i decided to try to bumpstart it and boom it started and i was able to ride home(still no dead spot in the rpm range ) so at least i was able to ride the bike about 3/4 of a mile and got some exercise on the way  :lol:

OK so rag in the filter makes it run ... OK So its a shade lean ... now how did you have a black spark plug .... try this ... lose the rag ... see how it runs, your erratic idle may be valves, you may still get air in the vacuum line, and you may have a battery sucking up enough electricity to kill it ... yea internal shorting in a battery may kill the ignition ...
So ... Battery - see how it runs.
Lose the rag ... see how it runs.
Do valves, see how it runs ...
Check or replace vacuum line - see how it runs ...
Cool.
Srinath.

my00forest:

Apologies for this thread having gone toward "Tard Farm" status through absolutely no fault of yours.  

Hugh purports to have posted under the mistaken assumption that I'd be flattered. I have no doubt that it won't happen again (at least I hope not).  :dunno:

pandy

[my00forest]

wow, there goes this thread, but ding ding ding, time for round two. ha just kidding  :lol:

but i'm going to follow Srinath's suggestions and see how things go. and my battery is actually at battery warehouse (where i bought it) and getting a free recharge. so that'll knock that out. then i'm gonna do the valves tonight and knock that out before i get the battery back tomorrow. and then i can do the rag and vacuum thing, which vacuum hose are you talking about btw. is it the one that comes out of the T on the back of the carbs? thanks again, shane

[The Buddha]

Vacuum hose comes out of left carb only ... upper front side facing the right carb ... dont tell me you left it open ... that single handed will cause all your woes ...
Cool.
Srinath.

[my00forest]

uh oh , looks like i'm gonna find a schematic of where all the hoses go on and to the carb. i guess i'm lucky it runs at all. let me check on those before anything else

[The Buddha]

OK then, so what you did is ... let in a lot of air into the left cylinder, and none into the right via that hole, and you are also not having vacuum at petcock, whihc makes the thing not flow in any position except prime ... so no wonder ... cap that or run good hose to petcock ... the bike should run fine, ...
Oh yea do valves ... else I come by and beat you ... remember I ahve your address ...
Cool.
Srinath.

You came along and that whole thing went up in smoke ... (and glue  :lol: ) ... But now I'm back on track ... that's what I do ... BTW he sent me his carbs, so I owe it to him to set him straight ... so the yelling and threatening to come over and beat him etc ... yea part of that ... So like send srinath some money and he'll threaten to come by and beat ya ... that's how the mafia works right ... same deal ...
Now how's the valves looking dude ...
Cool.

Hope you're able to help my00forest before the mafia gets you.

The taxi hit was that terror bird or someone else seeking world domination ...
House - yea ... the mess was self engineered ...
Now netsurfing habit change = your fault ... yea It is ... OK ... Lemme refresh your memory "I'm a chick and I'm so hot, I wanna put up a pic but I am so afraid You guys will turn silly and start drooling at the Pic but I put it on BARF and you guys aren't capable of handling a hottie like me " ... Yea only took 10 pages and over a week ...  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  :lol:  
Yea yea we're rapidly tarding this thread too ...
Cool.
Srinath.
It is a joke ... as indicated by the smiley's ... dont go get your pandies in a huge freaking knot ...  :lol:

[my00forest]

ok, i checked all of the hoses and such and i can't see any problem with them. i am all out of things to do except doing the valves (please don't come and beat me up srinath   ) is there anything else i should look for. right now my bike is running fairly well except this happens when i start it:
i first start the bike on prime, won't start on anything else, then i have to turn the idle screw up enough to get it to idle around 1500 or so and the idle will sound real weak like it wants to die. then after idleing like that for a few seconds it will start to rev up a bit and run up till about 3500rpm then when i back down the idle screw it will idle about 1500rpm again. then after a few seconds the idle will go up again until i agian back down on the idle screw. after 1 or two times of doing this it will kinda hang out between 1500 and 2000 rpms just going up and down constantly between them. just like vrom vrom vrom like i'm blipping the throttle. it will do this same thing at no matter what rpm i am at. if i hold the throttle steady at say 5000 rpm it will do it also. i can ride it and everything rides fine but this problem with my idle. i think it is something wrong with my carbs but since i'm such a noob i still don't know. would syncronizing the carbs fix this or do i have to do my valves ? if so who has the valve adjusting kit now? anywho me needs help once again and you guys are on your way to making me a gs pro, well maybe not.

[my00forest]

well i finaly did it, no i didnt get it running but i did get an appointment to have my bike looked at at a stealership. thanks a bunch to you guys for helping me to try and get my bike to run properly but i am fed up and the longer i try the longer i cant ride. but i'm still gonna try and fix it but now i am going to have someone else fix it but the only problem is is that the appt is not until september 2. anyway thanks again, shane

[The Buddha]

Yea clown ... valves ...
The bike is cold, the valve clearances are tight ... one valve or more hang open ... you start it, it loses a ton of mix through that open valve ... and runs   like carp (yea carp - thanks billyblackout) ... then as the thing builds temp ... it begins to expand ... now they all build heat at different rates ... valves heat up first ... then the head catches up ... ergo a perfect 0 clearance bike will start beautifully and in about 5-10 seconds run like carp, then 3-5 mins later will start running beautifully again, if you keep it idling that long by blipping the throttle ... cos once the head gets its share of the heat, the aluminum in the head will have expanded enough to completely negate the valve's expansion and then some ... so you have perfect clearance ... just more than 0 ... Been there, done that, now you are going to be a man (Please dont tell me you're a chick too ... I'd have to go open a yamn-aha maxim site then) and crack it open tommorow ... we'll get you sorted out by saturday night ... in time for blasting down the street sunday 5:30 am ...
Cool.

I'm hoping that after my valve job this weekend, my bike won't run like carp anymore, too.
