  1. The Easter Bunny might be late:
  2. Maybe you should hire an exorcist?
  3. 3 Japanese businessmen were just sitting down to lunch when the sky lit up with fire and brimstone. Moments later, the apocolypse was over and the 3 men found themselves standing before St. Peter. "I'll let you into heaven if you can answer my one question," said St. Peter. "What is the true meaning of Easter?" 1st man: Ahhh Eastah! Eastah where big fat man in red suit crime down chimney - give round-eye presents! St. Peter: No I'm sorry that's not even the right holiday. 2nd Man: Eastah...Hai, I know this one. Ritto bunny hop around - give candy and hide eggs for round-eyes! St. Peter: Um no, that's not the TRUE meaning of Easter. 3rd Man: Eastah...Is when, Jesus die on cross for our sins. They take him down, put him in cave. 3 days rater, he come back to rife. Come out of cave, see his shadow, 6 more week winter!!!
  4. Yeah I pretty much know all the Pagan origins of the holidays. They were alot cooler bunch than the shitty zealots we have now. I guess you could say that Christianity teaches you to "love thy neighbor" whereas the Pagan teaching was more like, "fuck the shit out of your neighbor and her hot mom".
  5. Course then there's the original celebration of Easter: Easter was a celebration of rebirth and of the goddes Eastre back in ancient Rome - celebrated on the vernal equinox (basically end of winter, beginning of nature's sex show). All the townsfolk would decorate eggs and exchange them as gifts symbolizing the fertility of spring (basically u gave an egg to somebody you wanted to bone). The single ladies of the town would make baskets and go into the forest to pick flowers for their boytoys. Then the men would follow em to hook up and have a good ol' orgy. Oh and the rabbit? Well Eastre was said to take the form of a hare, so people would construct mock-rabbits to symbolize her. The whole point of the festival was to get laid and maybe get pregnant. So which would you prefer?
  6. Before buying anything its a good idea to rule out as much as you can. No sense in replacing the plug wires if they're not the problem. Compression will depend on your elevation.
  7. There's kinda a process when ur trying to diagnose engine problems. Personally I like to start with the easy (and free) shit first. Start it up and hold your hand near the exhaust outlet. The one that doesn't have anything coming out is the one you need to focus on. First off switch plug wires to opposite cylinders to see if it changes sides. Have you done a compression check?
  8. Dremel will be about 50x more work than a die grinder w/ some roloc discs.
  9. I ran no crossover till I switched to a single carb. Worked fine for me. Benefit is its one less place for an airleak to develop.
  10. I've got a set of the old style ones. They've got notches instead of the normal nut shape. If you want em you can have em for free.
  11. No problem. If you want to make your own its not too difficult. The tube is 1.5" OD, I think I used 1/16" wall or thereabouts. The part that bolts up to the cylinders is just 1/4" plate. I drilled a 1.5" hole into the center of these and then corrected the shape with a rotary file after everything was welded together. Its kinda a pain in the ass fitting everything up even with a jig but its not impossible. Cut 45 degrees on each end of the V pieces - they're offset so you have to eyeball it. Once you get the 2 tubes welded up in a 'V' shape, just cut the tip of the V off and grind it down until a piece of the 1.5" tube fits against the hole nicely. Just remember you need to cut the tip of the V at an angle so that the tube going to the carb is angled down slightly. Just tack it and then hold it up to the bike and eyeball what looks right. Ideally the carb will sit almost level. Mine is tilting maybe 5-10 degrees downwards in the front. Once everything is welded up take a die grinder with a rotary file on it and clean up the insides of the 1/4 plate.
  12. I use this: Die Grinder With this (they sell the scotch-brite discs and roloc attachment seperately: Accessory kit Followed with this: buffer You'll still need some small fine grinding stones to reach into the tight corners.
  13. Yup, the stock stator puts out about 75w on the lighting circuit so as long as all your lights add up to less than 75 you're good. Ricky Stator has a 200w stator available w/ an adjustable timing plate for $180 or so. Definately a good investment if you like riding at night.
  14. PRM makes top of the line stuff. I've got their skid and front bumper. Some of the best quality work out there. Welds are textbook! I plan on getting one of their grab bars as well.
  15. Or carbs out of sync... There was a thread not too long ago where a member had only 1 cyl running. It went on for awhile so just about every possible reason was addressed. I'd search for that.
  16. Oh yeah and try to keep the front end just slightly wider than the rear or handling goes to shit.
  17. My extended family (which by the way are a bunch of racists), have always said that we've got cherokee in our lineage. Very proudly I might add. Supposedly there was a picture floating around of my great great great grandmother - not only an indian but an indian princess! I finally saw that picture - 1st indian I've seen with an afro...
  18. Did you try cleaning the carbs? My first guess by the symptoms would be a clogged jet. I know you said u switched em but did you double check that it was the same cyl that wasn't running? Another thing you can check is the exhaust pipes. People have left rags in there after a rebuild and even had mice make a home in there.
  19. Ok so its a camera phone picture. Looked okay on the phone but looks like hell on this shitty work computer. Is that good enough?

    if I had $4000

    In California you'd be lucky to get one that had been rolled several times. Semi-modded yfz's are going for about $6500 - $6800. I'm prolly going to be selling mine here in the near future but its super clean - I should fetch at least $6700. That's with full exhaust, nerfs, sand tires, bars, billet extended throttle, new intake and a few other goodies. I've got about $8000 into it.
  21. The last # in the tire # is the rim size. So 10" up front and 9" in the rear. Unless you want to change rim size anyway. There's pros and cons for running smaller or larger rims. As far as width, I always like to go as wide as possible but I don't have a problem with narrow trails where I am. For you it may be different.
  22. Normally they don't dyno top speed, just a 4th gear rollout. You can get a GPS for $80 that will tell you your top speed. Cheaper than a ticket.
  23. What kinds of jobs are illegals taking that would help our unemployment rate? Jobs that are so shitty that people would rather not work at all then do that! Part of what makes our economy work is the fact that we've got cheap labor to do all the crap jobs. Saying that you're unemployed because there are no jobs is bullshit. There's jobs, they just royally suck. So instead the government pays ur ass to stay at home. Really though, some people are better off staying at home. Say you roll up to Home Depot cuz you need a few guys to help you hang some drywall. Are you gonna pick the mexican or the white guy with tracks up his forearms? One will get the job done (and well) for $5/hr, the other is just gonna steal your dvd player. I do agree however that we don't need to help em out. They shouldn't quallify for assistance programs. If they wanna sneak into our country to try and make a living in the Home Depot parking lot, more power to em. Just 2 requests: Make an effort to learn english and stop waving the damn mexican flags around!
  24. If u got the money to spend your best bet for low end are the above mentioned mods and a stroker. Course that's several $g's
