Carburetor, Intake, and Exhaust / Opinions on the ESR 9 pipe

« on: October 06, 2015, 06:29:16 PM »

I had a centermount 9B on for awhile and I liked the little bit more aggressiveness of it over the 5B regular mount.

Suspension and Chassis / Best tool to remove needle bearings?????

« on: February 06, 2015, 06:28:47 PM »

If your looking to remove the needle bearings for the clutch lever in the case then a blind hole bearing puller that can be rented (for free)at autozone worked for me.  If your talking swing arm bearings then there are some threads in this forum on those.

Sorry I see now this is in suspension and chassis so now im assuming swing arm bearings...
I split mine carefully with a chisel but I think there was better ways posted.

Suspension and Chassis / Balljoint Cross-Reference - Everything you ever need to know! STICKY Please

« on: January 01, 2015, 03:38:24 PM »

I used the ES419R that I got at autozone for my arms with a 14mm thread 1.5 pitch and they didnt work real well.  The problem I encountered was the 14mm threads were not long enough on the bottom arms for good adjustment.  They were about 1/2 inch shorter than the stock ends I removed making the nut barely get all the way on. There was enough threads on the top A-arm but after adjusting it to match for the bottom there were barely threads left for the nut there either. I red loctite'd just the nuts for a little extra peice of mind but I wont go this route again and Ive also got only about 5 hours of riding and the boots have already ripped.  Steering feels wierd with them too.  It was worth a try for $60 for 4 of them but I wasnt happy with the end result. I think the end needs a slight bend from where the ball joint and the threads begin also. Just figured I chime in with my experience with them.

Lounge / ADHD meds for your kids???

« on: December 07, 2014, 11:28:43 AM »

The Dr.'s need to do better health checks before prescribing these drugs to kids and using them as lab rats to "see if this one works"  Research some of the bad side effects that could be possible because the dr.'s do not know for sure what will work and will not.  For example I took my son to the dr. to ask him why they havent done blood tests and ask about family history when they prescibed him Ritalin. It was just given (at the time) a Black Box warning label because the side effects could be fatal.  He told me "well hes been on it for a couple years now so if there were going to be any problems you would have had them by now."  "Its stood the test of time" he told me since its been in use since the mid 70's. (My son was given Adderall at 8 years old, then Concerta at 9 , and then  at 9 given Ritalin) I then took my son (at 11 years old) off of Ritalin because I read other horror stories of kids having siezures with irr-reversable damage and I was not willing to take that chance.  Took the sugar away in the morning.. Put him on a Whey protien shake for breakfast, no sugar lunch, and the change was incredible. Teachers litteraly called me asking me what I did because he had been off the meds for about 6 months before I discovered this Un-medicated way of taking care of the issue.  Needless to say it wasnt easy keeping him off the meds for that 6 months but I was stubborn and determined to beat it another way.  Diet has so much to do with how our body and mind act.  Just like the air/fuel/oil mixture in our 2 strokes.  If you feed it the right combination it will run right.... same as our body.
My suggestion is to give some diet changes a try before running out and quickly medicating.  There is something in the diet that causes these kids to be this way I am completely convinced of this due to my own experience with my son.  He is now 23, married with a son of his own and is working in the medical field and I couldnt be prouder of him.  Im not against the drugs as a last resort but as parents we need exert the energy to find better solutions than just handing pills down to them.  So rarely were these drugs prescribed when I was a kid and now it seems 1 in 8 are on drugs..Its a shame.
