    If there is a whole in the back of the mic, try blocking it with some soft firm material, such as cork. If there is a lot of room on the front of the mic, try blocking some of that off.

    Yep, sure looks blue alright,, be able to see you coming from 5 miles away,, good thing too, for blue has been pro-ported to be fast,,, reeeeally fast,, not as nimble as brown, and maybe a bit slower on the takeoff,, but still fast enough to make some think that they are fast. Enjoy it Lonna, and make sure he rides it nicely and doesn't get it dirty.

    I'll have to go back and read my training instuctions, but I remember being taught for E-braking: jam on the rear, don't worry about it, you have enough other things to consetrate on, so lock it up and consetrate on steering balance and the front brake, just don't lock up the front, or you'll high side. Corner braking was practised as well, when in a curve, hit the brakes, straighten up the scoot and bring the scoot in a straight line, all in one motion as the bike slows. Everything is done progressively except the rear brake, that goes on and stays on. Haven't had any real experience with all this except for practice, but this comes from racing riders, I suppose they might have a better understanding of the issue than me. So for now it's just in my brain, and hopefully will be there when reaction is needed.

    Did an interview with CBC Ottawa last week Friday and it aired yesterday at 6 pm, in the News at Six segment. Thought I would post this as some of you would be interested. The item starts about 3\4 way through the mp3 file, so just move the slider until you find it. http://podcast.cbc.ca/w6_20090714_2100.mp3 You can also join our group on FaceBook: Save the Country Butchers

    Guess there is a good reason to be called a Canuck, it's just across the border, weather is about the same, we're on the same latitude as California, we do have some nice people over here,,, you can work here,,however,,do you want pay as well? and we do have houses to live in, along with teepee's and igloos,,,,,, the sun comes up in the morning and goes down in the evening, so you should feel at home,,, the government leaves you alone mostly, until they discover that you have something good on the go, and then they only want a small piece of it,, like yesterday, and then when they have their's they make sure they screw things up so that you have more reason to work... All that aside, we are going to miss the cheesecake, and the company, but you'll still be around because of this site. If there is anything we can do to be of less assistance, just let us know.

    Yep, can do and do your carbs as well. Bike needs to be running good before you do a sync, carbs should be working properly. I sync with a vaccum gauge, but I use only one gauge, as 4 different gauges will give you 4 different readings. I use a manifold to connect them together. Come on over, I wouldn't really mind meeting you anyways, and mostly I don't bite.. Carl

    So how did you torque the clutch basket back on?
  11. Marcarl
    You maybe should ask Black Owl, if a name change was worth while. I still think that you're awesome but you'll never get rid of Aussie. Once an Aussie, always an Aussie.

    With that much pounding on the steering head, you may have seated it further than was normal, not likely, but it's a shot.
  13. Marcarl
    Yep it's common, especially around 28 to 32,000 rpm. Varies in different bikes, either go slower or faster, depends on the road and the passenger. I changed my clutch basket to one from another scoot and nothing changed. Also, if you wear a headset the mic can pick up the noise and make it seem quite unreasonable, so then point the mic up a little.

    Sure glad this part is over for you guys, but it will take some time, and maybe never, to be able to put it in the past, lots of prayer still needed for that.

    Reef a little harder, then you get the wheelie gear, and boy can she take off,,,,,opps forgot, I was talking about a first gen.

    I thought washing hands was only required when oneself went pee,,, instructions don't cover what to do when it's somebody else's,,, so if there's no instructions doesn't that mean that it doesn't need doing??????????
  17. Marcarl
    Glad to hear everything went well and you two are eh ok. Now I have a job to do to get that image out of my mind,,,,,,,,oh what image,,,the one of Tom's humungus licker.
  18. Marcarl

    Thanks for all your input guys, I really appreciate your confidence, your trust and your willingness to help out poooorr little ole me. Just to inform you though, I have sold my Nuvi to a very deserving person by the name of Jim, and I'm sure that he will look after Nuvi just fine and will put her to good use. Now as far as Zumo is concerned, we are starting to wear on each other and it may soon come to the point where I become boss. It may take a little time, but I will persevere and the hammer is laying on the workbench just so there is no mistake as to who has the upper hand in this case. It's there all night long, so that it will be well inscribed upon the memory of the the one concerned.

    I guess you'll just have to go over there and give him a big hug

    KO so I screwed up, it's not an 885, it is an 855, one number difference, called dislexia or something like that, glad someone didn't buy it yet and already shipped before I was alerted to my error.
  22. Marcarl
    Maybe he just doesn't want to talk to you,,,,ever think of that????????? Course maybe he is just a way tooooo busy getting a real bike all gone over so that he can ride. Now that 2 reasons,,, pick which ever one suits.
  23. Marcarl
    He was in Canada again,????????? on Memorial Day Weekend,,,,???????? no wonder things got twisted, wrong place at the wrong time.....we need to make him Canadian,,, then maybe it will look up for him.
  24. Marcarl
