COLD SPRING, Ky. -- An Anderson Township man was killed Friday afternoon in a Campbell County motorcycle crash.Police said 30-year-old Stuart Earnshaw lost control of his Yamaha motorcycle on Licking Pike at Deer Run Road while riding around 2:15 p.m. with a group of 10 other motorcyclists.He skidded, struck a concrete wall and was thrown from his motorcycle, police said.Earnshaw was launched over the wall and into a creek bed about 17 feet below.Police said Earnshaw, who was wearing a helmet, died on the way to Saint Luke Hospital.No charges have been filed, and the crash remains under investigation.

we were riding with stuart today when he was killed. please keep his family and friends in your prayers

Now I'm also wondering if a bad injector signal or bad injector might be putting excess fuel in there. I remember that now from aircraft and car injector trouble shooting charts.

i talked over your theories with him and it seems like the most plausible one may be the exhaust valve. i have no loss of power from the motor and now that i have new plugs in, she feels like shes running a bit smoother. my initial thoughts were a bad plug or the secondary to that cylinder was spraying too much fuel, which sounds along the lines of your last post. im hoping that it was the plug, but somehow i feel i will have to revisit the injector theory

Back to basics. Blow by into the intake would be possibly:

A. intake valve leaking on the compression stroke

B. exhaust valve not opening or exhaust restriction on the exhaust stroke

C. cylinder not firing allowing fuel/air mix to blow everywhere when the valves open.

D. fuel injection timing very wrong on that cylinder

E. vacuum leak in or around the #4, between valve and injector.

I'll take A or E, that's my guess. Question is the blow-by carbon or fuel.

thanks recon for some plausible theories. im goin to talk them over with my mechanic neighbor and see what he thinks and what we should do about it. as far as the blow-by, its most certainly gas. the weird thing is tho its like a gummy gas like its been sitting there for awhile. the first time i noticed it i thought it was oil but according to my neighbor, its fuel

the real question is, do you know what you are looking at.

the cams go all the way across the engine. they are not on one side.

yes i do realize what im looking at and i realize the cams go across the motor. what i was referring to when i said the left side was the timing chain as a starting point as to which to label the cylinders in succession, 1-4. i misstated that, my fault

this is also why I'm so against people just buying a pc and have no idea how to use it. you can't just slap one in and load a map into it and call it good.

you need to get on a dyno and tune it for your bike. no 2 bikes are exactly the same, so using someone elses map is a waste of time and could potentially cause problems..such as yours.

yes im also aware of the need to have it tuned. a generic map, while not preferable, will allow me the leisure of time until i can have the bike dynoed and tuned accordingly. this thread also is not about me putting a pc on or a specific question about one. its about me trying to figure out why one cylinder is getting more gas than the others. it may or may not have anything to do with the pc. thanks for your input tho

nope its a pc3

hmmm...ill have to look into that.

Im pretty sure my PC has a cylinder balance setting that lets you adjust individal cylinders yours is prolly the same should be able to lean out #4

are you running a pc5? pretty sure the pc3 does not allow each cylinder to be mapped individually

i noticed that when i took my airbox off, i have gas blow by on the #4 stack inside the airbox. all my plugs looked good for normal wear except #4 is running rich (timing chain is on the left side?, so the #4 cylinder is where the blow by is coming from). i am running a pc3. what is the problem here? i dont understand why one cyclinder would be running richer than the other 3. is this something i need to address right now or is it not that big of a deal?

looks good man!

yeah i posted this a while back...

Happy bday bro!

I might have to see if I can take the day off.

you should. a few of us on the junkies site will be there as well. roll out time will be 11

I will be riding 10/22 on 10/22. Anyone wanna come down and ride with me post up

Hell no. That was a stupid cop on goddamn adrenaline rush!

If the cop hadn't jumped on the hood of the car' date=' he wouldn't have created the life threatening endangerment and therefore wouldn't have needed to shoot. I'm sure this has been brought to his attention if the stupid bastard hasn't already figured it out.[/quote']

-1. this stupid fuck was putting other peoples life in danger. cops are human too. put you in the same situation and see if your mind isnt running a thousand different scenarios as how to best handle it. this guy was a threat to the police and everyone in the vicinity and if the cops felt that the only was to stop this pos was to shoot him, then so be it. i cant believe anyone would defend an asshole like this. he got what he fucking deserved

damn i know where all that is! score one for the good guys

i can't believe this video is posted twice within a week. This video is like 4 years old, is it making its way around the interwebz again all of a sudden?

must be

It's a repost, but we should place nice. Mako was once #2 in rep.

lemme say that stripping an engine mount bolt is not a great thing, but it isnt the end of the world either. i cross threaded my engine mount bolt and had to heli coil it. but i agree to always use a torque wrench! just fyi, engine mount bolts on a gix are 39 lbs (at least on the 06-07's)

hmmm never seen it here before

Yeah, me and a couple friends will be over there this Sunday. Leaving Hillsboro area around 11:30-12, not sure exactly where the ride is planned. I can check and let you know. Where are you planning to ride?

will likely be the usual route. pm sent

Not sure if you're interested but a few of us may run nky this sunday. Riding days are becoming few and far between

If you aren't up on how to update BIOS, and install drivers, then send it back. Otherwise, I'd just say to get the computer and make sure everything is 100% updated and take your chances. If you do turn out to have problems, HP is a big enough company you can count on them making it right

see thats part of my problem, hp is not making it right with these people. some have complained that even their 4th repair didnt fix the issue. im no computer genius but i can work my way around one pretty well

macs are way too expensive!

last weekend i decided to buy a new hp elite pavilion e9180t with all the bells and whistles. i thought i had done enough research on hp but i realized i hadnt when 4 days later i run across this thread:

http://h30434.www3.hp.com/psg/board/message?board.id=lockups&thread.id=895&view=by_date_ascending&page=139

yeah thats right, 139 pages of people bitching about how shitty these computers are. everything from lock ups, freezes, stuttering and BSOD.

heres a more consice version from pcmag:

http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2353721,00.asp

so now this potential lemon is supposed to be delivered tomorrow and im debating on what i should do. should i open this thing up, plug it in and see if it works or not or should i just send it back unopened and get a dell? i thought hp had a really good name, but i guess not. anyone have this computer and had issues? what is your experience with hp?
