  1. do you have any idea how many girls send nudes now adays? hahahaha
  2. ignore me in the picture haha. i'm wanting to clean my bike up a bit, and i was curious as to how i can get these decals off without scratching up my plastics. the one on the tail should be easy i would think. do i use a credit card and heat gun of something? but i'm worried about the tank. the tank is cleared over. i'm not sure if there is a way to get the sticker off and get the tank re-cleared or what. i've been watching ebay for just an all red tank, but i haven't had any luck. any suggestions?
  3. i believe i've seen this bike in person once i know i've seen pictures it is clean
  4. just sign the title over to me i'll take care of her, promise
  5. white was a much better choice. welcome!
  6. ohh, i could think of some that would give you a run for your money
  7. i rebuilt a 22re, i don't remember the thermostat being like that. ahh, but i'm more of a honda guy. or was anyways.
  8. i'm glad we've finally agreed lol haha, what kind of engines are you speaking of?
  9. sometimes i find rtv a lot better than some oe gaskets (depending on what style of gasket). i would say use some sort of soft gasket scraper, then before applying gaskets, spray brake clean into a rag and wipe the surfaces.
  10. it may just be me, i'm just paranoid and dirt or whatever else getting in your engine. i'm sure that's what a filter is for though. i was just a clean freak when i built the last 3 engines.
  11. i would think it would be fine to choke it, but don't do it until you're ready to start it, not priming it. and take a lot of 1fasttc's advice, my main concern is just how clean it's going to be when reassembled.
  12. no no, i think you do have a valid point. make sure you brake clean off your gears (not bearings) before you put them in, then oil. you really don't want to have any dirt in there. i mean, i personally would be really skeptical of brake clean on certain things, but i watched a master tech at work the other day rebuild a tranny, he soaked everything in it, then made sure it was all lubed up and spinning properly before he sealed the casing.
  13. no arguing here, just questioning. as far as priming, you gave good directions, i'm just confused about the oil.
  14. 1. brake clean is not that corrosive, it's alcohol based. you're thinking of carb cleaner probably. you just have to be careful where you spray it. and if you are laying any new gasket, you have to use some sort of cleaner, you CANNOT have any type of oil on the surfaces. 2. secondly, why would he run non-synthetic? he's not building the motor, just simply swapping transmissions.
  15. 1. i won't answer for fear of being wrong 2. use brake clean and a rag, or possibly a pocket screw driver if you can be careful 3. i'm not too sure about this, but before you start it back up, prime the engine. unplug the coils and let it crank to build oil pressure. i'm sure someone else can chime in to help, but that is what little i can do.
