I'm losing count, but I bailed from this place for now. I'll make it official one way or another is pound the place, wakeup the neighbor next door, I am having a good time laughing with my 90% drivel 10% tech, they have to take the rabbit hole train to understand the insult. But more it's flat the fuck out, WOT in the fuck am I reading are gurus who can't figure out how to read the abstract in the book.
Another site with ex-current-retired techs at dealer level I have no clue? They're blabbing out things I already cleared as a variable and, called them out on it. And these are the gurus filling page after page of goes nowhere. Yeah, some of them stump me, but I'm not on top of the bike to work on, who has rechecked, throwing a huge list of parts at it, comes up with the same exact problem.
Problem is, someone makes comment and that's when the fun begins. One poster bought a modified bike, found a pilot, air, low speed screw, one of those out of the carb, the other screw 4 turns out. So the tech advice there is everyone touches that screw, first thing.
They are capped off because of how you have to set it. Need a meter to see a drop in rpm that can detect a 50 rpm drop or less. Most dont have that tool so it's all a guess from there out... or in.
Beautiful running bike when stock, but the typical pipe and no air box, loud, popping and shitty running once touched. Looked up the factory manual there, shows the abstract reading the air screw as an altitude needle, needing only to be removed if a needle is etched from gas, a carb clean, or altitude change is it to be touched. And remember how many turns in to reset it out there again.
The book also states to lightly seat the needle or render the carb body and/or needle useless. Owner after owner, fiddling with that screw, messing that needle up every time it has to be turn in or bottomed out, forget the numbers out, screw it back in, back out and how lightly was seated are those two contact points being crushed all the time it meets?
And I'm looking at all that fiddle fucking with that screw [no tool] and its right at its working opening of 2.5 turns out, +/- 1 turn to .5 a turn in or out, meaning, wait for the drop at either end for this 'idle drop' procedure. Book's abstract also states; 1 turn in if over 6,500ft.
Mind you, this is where I've been all dis time, flipping the bike I bought. Of course, had to answer tech question for cranial exercise, looking for a shop manual for torque and cam timing pages. Anyway, getting back to getting myself in trouble with the laugh police hot on my ass, laughing my ass of coming up with whack.
This one question was a guy who moved up to a 5000ft level and should he do a jetting change or something like that. Read the abstract saying you don't need to, got 1,500ft to go. Guru wannabe comes back and says, shouldn't he try to adjust it for 5... basically?
I gave them the old hubshit like I know it. I should have said, book does not say got fiddle fuck with it at 5. Instead I quoted the abstract's two words 'if sustainable' and said, I'm going for a ride up to 6.5 high mile cafe, but before I do, it's 1 turn in before the sugar hits the java, I'm only up there for a sip. I'm home, 1 turn out. And that's WOT I'm up against there and I'm out.
Fucking shittyits can't read the manual that's at the site. I used FF'screw as my term for how much fiddle fucking damage is going on with the body, the screw, the 50 rpm drop you can't hear it, oh my-my. They are not happy.
Was going back and forth with their expert guru. I mean both ribbing each other, he, asking the house for a little 'leeway.' Got to the point with a guy like Rook, was asking the right questions, and what the story with the glue was about. Told these fiddle fuckers to use a dab of glue so the needle doesn't fall out with all dis fiddle fucking around.
Was calling it Johnny Juice instead of the glue's marketing name. The experts name was John, thus, the last post to the Rook guy was something about taking John's dick and squeezing to shit, but instead it read, took Johnny's Juicer and squeezed the tube robustly, or something like that. Next post was another main guru crying about the 90/10, if I were a monitor, he'd be gone. Last post was, I'm out. Good luck kid. Nice gluing wit you, Johnny.
