im going to see miss ohio maybe get a blowjob out of the deal who knows.

fuck no. screw that then!

like what?

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu@#

ill be in OU. i could really use a dyno pull... anyway to get that price on monday the third...?

obviously thats just post season colors since he's still under contract with honda.

still being under contract means that he still has to follow the rules, which means no representing other teams. which is why their is not a SINGLE icon representing ducati or marlboro. it was just an agreement between the two teams to allow this test to happen.

same with marco and kawi, not a single brand on there at all.

we will see his true bike/leather colors come jan 1 when he is officially a ducati rider.

it is an HP Pavilion dv5000.

i remember finding a manual somewhere through HP and it looked pretty complicated... and the part for the fan was expensive too as it wasn't just a fan but one unit that containted the fan and other things as well...

even after letting the computer rest over night completely shut down, turning it on this morning the core temps were around 50C

running coretemp:

both core's are operating around 60C. but easily fluctuate.

from some research i've done i believe this is about 20C over what normal is...

what about needing reapply some thermal paste to my processor? viable idea or solely the fan dying?

and is the labor something i could do with good instruction or don't bother?

title says it but ill explain it in detail.

for the past year or so my fan has been getting louder and louder meaning its spinning faster than it should for the applications im running. for instance im just browsing the internet now and it sounds like im running a full on heavy duty PC game. also lately it sounds like the fan is off kilter or not balanced correctly anymore.

blew some compressed air in to the fan openings and that blew out a ton of dust but still didn't fix the problem.

when playing games most of the time is when it will shut down randomly, which blows... and it just started to shut down randomly while watching movies.

obviously i dont want to turn the fan speed down bc i know its protecting the processor etc. and the shut down is a safety measure to prevent it from getting ruined but this is annoying.

tried looking in the bios this morning to find some info stating my temperatures and fan speed but i couldn't find it for some reason. i could have been looking in the wrong place entirely.

its a laptop btw so i really don't want to take it apart to get a new one or fix whatever's wrong unless you say its easier than it looks...

so how do i check my temps and fan speeds? and what is your advice on fixing this (cost and labor in mind)?

even though this laptop is 2 years old now its still got some top of the line stuff in there so id rather keep it than replace it.

If you haven't written anything else to the disk, I can probably recover the files for you.

It's kinda my specialty. Just ask ColumbusRacing.com, cofba.org (which changed it's name to something else but I can't remember), dynotunemotorsports.com, etc. The server had a harddrive die. The motor went out. I was actually able to successfully pull the platters, put them in another drive, and pull the data bit by bit. Took quite a long time, but it worked.

thanks for the offer!

i got something called power data recovery that is currently doing its thing right now. kinda cool actually, its able to pull all my files that were supposedly gone and im now copying them onto another external HD. then reformatting my corrupted HD and putting the files that i saved back on.

hopefully everything goes to plan, i think it should work everything looked and worked good (movies, audio etc) when i tested it through this program.

ill let you know.

dude if she's there... that settles it then!

i just need to squeeze in a ton of studying time. midterm on the origins of WWI... seems easy but its not.

i know how you feel only on a MUCH MUCH smaller level. just lost a ton of crap off my external HD no thanks to linux:ubuntu...

but its my own fault i installed it wrong and now i have to live with 200 gigs of lost movies, music, games etc...

cheers for all the hard work you do! (and its not even your real job...)

thanks for emptying my PM box btw i was going to do that the day the server went down lol.

sooo i take it your not voting for obama then...

huh i never thought about that before. i bought a stem stand but now i might have to buy a fork stand. this bike is raping me

you could just not use your front stand... you could do what an old school track guy taught me is to just put the front tire onto a towel thats folded up a few times to use as a cushion for the tire.

towel is much cheaper than a new stand...

Do you really have to "winterize" your bikes as they say??? This was my second season with mine and I have never done anything to it. Answers/opinions anyone???

i just started mine and let run for a loooong time got fully warm and stayed at that temp for a while and then i shut her down. if the streets weren't salty i went up and down the neighborhood. also kept it on the tender all winter.

It's about time to tear down the bike. New coolant, new fork oil, springs, tires, valve check (26,000 miles on a 1.5 year old bike), and last but not least, carbon fairings.

valve check. heh i need to do that too, let me know how that goes... easy hard what?

ill be tearing mine down as soon as i get a front stand (xmas tgift!) hopefully she'll be a rolling chassis only by mid jan. it'll keep me sane during those cold winter months.

2x the limit is hard enough in a car, can't imagine on a big heavy harley...

hmm clutch springs. didn't think of that. yes i did make sure to keep them in the exact spot and order in removal and re-installation. ill have to check that out next time i open her up.

o and yes they are the correct friction plates to be installed on my model.

springs are only 4 bucks a pop, ill order those tomorrow.

generic things...

anyway to get different mounting brackets?

or is it model specific...

o and that O ring, is that something generic i can pick up at autozone, or do i really need to order it from OEM store...

UPDATE--thanks for freaking me out 12 haha:

pulled plates out, inspected them with micrometer and flush surface. all within spec and no bluing.

oil is draining as we speak...nothing unusual in oil, no metal flakes or anything of that nature

(i got a sudden burst of energy...)

for the timing/ignition cover leak, take cap off, and replace the rubber o-ring on the cap. Wipe cap clean, make sure new rubber o-ring is clean when putting back on.

What you described sounds like a serious issue man, unless you want to risk getting broken clutch pieces in your engine, and destroying the engine, I would take the clutch cover off Immediately, take out all the plates and fibers, inspect them, and the clutch basket. Drain your oil, Look for piece of metal in the oil. It's not going to take more than about an hour or two, and rebuilding or replacing an engine is NO FUN, been there many times, don't risk it! good luck man!

which part of what i described is serious?

this is the generic response im getting on my r6 board.

that smoke is normal. that's why engines have a crankase breather hose connected to the airbox.

gasses build in the crankase while the engine is running.

the sound you hear normal.

that cap on the cover has a rubber o ring on it. try taking it off and cleaning it. it just might be dried out and needs a new one. it's not anything major.

hopefully it will quit once you remove it, clean it, and re install it.

(don't remove the whole cover just the cap thing)

clutch--i have heard it before i just wanted to know what it was. again just sounds like the plates engaging and disengaging. its not a serious sounding issue, im not that great at describing what i hear. and tried the video, can't hear it on there.

smell--nothing burning so not worrying too much about this one.

Touchy, yeeeeoooow!

haha no touchy...

and no i don't have the number one amount of real problems nick. sheesh.

another description of the smoke out of oil cap issue:

it doesn't blow out like there is no tomorrow, think of it as if you smoke and inhale and then open your mouth without exhaling, and the smoke just kinda slowly comes out of your mouth. that kinda way.

(i dont smoke so not sure if that happens or not, just thought i've seen my grandma do it before)

thats cuz im still figuring this thing out. of course its going to have its "problem" if you can even call it that.

this may not even be a problem... just something i need to realize its normal. since im still somewhat a "newb" compared to some on here, i dont really know for sure what to worry about or not.

most of them im just curious and like to ease my mind...
