It is a long swim...

Admin Jaap is bored...

Are you sure that the alternator and oil pressure lamps aren't switched?

A paraprosdokian is a figure of speech in which the latter part of a sentence or phrase is surprising or unexpected in a way that causes the reader or listener to reframe or reinterpret the first part. It is frequently used for humorous or dramatic effect, sometimes producing an anticlimax. For this reason, it is extremely popular among comedians and satirists. I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way, so I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness. Going to church doesn't make you a Christian any more than standing in a garage makes you a car. The last thing I want to do is hurt you, but it's still on the list. If I agreed with you, we'd both be wrong. (I have to remember this one) We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public. War does not determine who is right - only who is left. Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad. Evening news is where they begin with 'Good evening', and then proceed to tell you why it isn't. To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism. To steal from many is research. A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is where a train stops. On my desk, I have a work station. Dolphins are so smart that within a few weeks of captivity, they can train people to stand on the very edge of the pool and throw them fish. I thought I wanted a career, turns out I just wanted pay checks. A bank is a place that will lend you money, if you can prove that you don't need it. Whenever I fill out an application, in the part that says "In an emergency, notify:" I put "DOCTOR". I didn't say it was your fault, I said I was blaming you. Why does someone believe you when you say there are four billion stars, but check when you say the paint is wet? Why do Americans choose from just two people to run for president and 50 for Miss America ? A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory. You do not need a parachute to skydive. You only need a parachute to skydive twice. The voices in my head may not be real, but they have some good ideas! Always borrow money from a pessimist. He won't expect it back. A diplomat is someone who can tell you to go to hell in such a way that you will look forward to the trip. Money can't buy happiness, but it sure makes misery easier to live with. I discovered I scream the same way whether I'm about to be devoured by a great white shark or if a piece of seaweed touches my foot. I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not sure. I always take life with a grain of salt, plus a slice of lemon, and a shot of tequila. You're never too old to learn something stupid. To be sure of hitting the target, shoot first and call whatever you hit the target. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. A bus is a vehicle that runs twice as fast when you are after it as when you are in it. Change is inevitable, except from a vending machine.

I'm not sure one way or the other...just a guess. It's probably like Tom said, with the extra tach pulse. Not a huge deal here, but alot of you out there are pretty savy with this stuff. Figured I'd throw it out for consideration before getting rid of a working tach. There is a sticker on Veglia tachs telling you "how far at what frequency". As I can recall it was something about 366Hz@11000 RPM. If it is about cutting the frequency in half, then a simple counter can help you (Counter). Simple counter can be realised using something like 4013

Do you hear it when you blip the throttle? Trying to accellerate hard (WOT) in high gear? If yes, could be pinging...

New Treatment for Sunburn A guy fell asleep on the beach for several hours and got horrible sunburn, specifically to his upper legs. He went to the hospital, and was promptly admitted after being diagnosed with second-degree burns. With his skin already starting to blister, and the severe pain he was in, the doctor prescribed continuous intravenous feeding with saline, electrolytes, a sedative, and a Viagra pill every four hours. The nurse, who was rather astounded, asked, 'What good will Viagra do for him, Doctor'? The doctor replied, 'It won't do anything for his condition, but it'll keep the sheets off his legs.'

Where? Uploaded with ImageShack.us

I had RWB fail after some 5000km. Had the spacer checked and it checked out OK (so I was told). However, two things were out of spec: 1) Axle nut was tightened hard (90-100Nm). The service manual specifies 30Nm, which is claimed to be ridiculously low, so there is an ongoing dispute if this is a misprint or not. 2) Torque arm bushings needed replacing. Not sure if any of these things had anything to do with bearing failure, but at least according to the mechanic, neither did the spacer. I have to wait for the bearing to fail again (or for the wheel to come off) before I can report on some real experience.

If greased AND installed properly.

Did I miss anything? I was OOO for three days. Anyway, we want to see some pics.

And why is it bikini if there is only one part?

They say it is all downhill after 40-ieth. <!-- Merci de soutenir notre projet en laissant ce petit lien! -->Motoneige 0 - Montagne 1

Then left snot starboard. Fits again!

No waya!

I don't think I'll have the opportunity to try that out, as I just, as per your advice, ordered a rectifier bridge. Seems like this is the cheapest/simplest way to obtain a pair of sufficiently powerful diodes. Will keep you posted on how it goes.

Diodes/semiconductors have negative temperature coefficient, meaning their resistance will drop with increase of temperature. When two slightly different diodes (they always are) are connected in parallel, one will be drawing larger current then the other and therefore heat more. As a consequence its resistance will further drop and it will draw even larger current, thus heating even more. Unless compensated for, it will eventually spiral itself to death, starving the other diode. That's what I meant with "thermal death", and is usually the reason why two 1A diodes are not the same thing as a 2A diode.

Thanks! Are you talking of "thermal death" if a diode is added in parallel to a working one?

Thanks, K-Roy, I was looking for these PDFs as I have the regulator in my hands right now and am trying to figure out what is wrong with it. Are you suggesting to bypass the diodes externally (hook them up between yellow and red wires), in the case they are malfunctioning?

Have you checked alternator/regulator output? Alternator (yellow wires) - 15@1000, 40@3000, 80@6000 V/rpm Regulator - 14-14.6V

Just found one! http://www.acewell.de/zubeh%C3%B6r/elektronische-tachowelle-mit-sensor/acewell-ace-ta

There are things like that, however, the problem will be finding one that fits our bikes. The one from KOSO that I tried did not fit. Someone else was perhaps of better luck.

I, on the contrary, don't want to know.
