I've got to get sleep though since the girlfriend wants me over for her family's Easter party tomorrow afternoon.
Oh and would you believe I passed physics 2 while I was taking calc 1?? The physics at our school is calc based physics too! I passed, but it was close. I'm a lot better at school when the subject is applied. So I do great in my mechanics, statics, etc, and horrid in Calc, chem, etc.

No, its when you're powering up your computer from off. It doesn't boot windows, it just goes to a very simple operating system that takes virtually no time to load. Its pretty neat! The auxillary screen is sweet too, It tells me when I get emails, who their from, and what the subject is!
I haven't had a chance to install any of my games yet.
Nice! Glad you like your computer too! What's an overclock?

All chips are basically the same. The really goods ones get labeled and sold as a higher speed the the rest. But sometimes you can buy a not-so-good one and still clock it up faster. Back in the day, overclocking was pretty useful. But now days they're so fast, what's the point? Its like getting more power from a 230... That's useful. But a thudercat??? What's the point?

Its been that way my whole life... Struggle to get to sleep and struggle to wake up at the appointed hour. I'm more tired AFTER 8 hrs of sleep than before. Now I just say to hell with it and catch naps whenever I want. I still wake up tired, but less time goes to waste.

Well, I didn't get a chance to dig into that 230 today. It ran great though, we ran it pretty good up and down the streets a few times. Lots of strong power and it pulls hard too.
Still wouldn't kick-start worth a dam though. Next time I have some time I'll check the valve lash, and if that doesn't work, we'll order that new primary coil. I watched that valve lash adjustment video, so I think I should be able to do it.
My 230's running great too. I ran it a few times up and down the road and I don't notice any drag from that new O-ring chain. Seems nice. My old chain was in terrible shape.

Your crankshaft is bent. 90% sure. It happens when you're revving out and the back wheels leave the ground and come back down on something solid. The irresistable force meets the immovable object and the crank bends. This is why high-performance cranks are welded and not just pressed together.
If its not that, then somebody put a different piston in or something to throw the balance off. Other than that, it could be the flywheel/clutch... But hard to imagine that unless someone was beating on it or trying to pry it off with a crow bar.

Other than that vibration issue at higher RPMS, she runs like a top, just finished replacing the front wheel bearings, swing arm bearings, and rear wheel bearings. The swing arm bearings were hooped (especially on the left side)
The new bearing fit in there tight, with no play, I will have to get another rubbinh block, but for now, this will work

ok, i got the lights working. headlight seems fine but when i rev it a little, the taillight bulb burns out. ya think it's shorting out or just wired up wrong.
used the old Pledge furniture spray trick on the fenders this afternoon. sooo much better than Armorall. dang it's looks sexay!

Could there be an AC/DC conflict in the bulbs? The magneto puts out AC.
Pledge works well on restoring scratched cds and dvds too. Spray it on and let it setup some, then wipe it around to fill the scrathes. It works!

I'll post some pics soon about the swingarm.... I'm in the middle of setting up a new computer n all.
The crank may not be bent per se, but its a 3 piece design and the rod bearing connects the 2 halves of the crank.
Here's a pic of Falicon's cranks.... You can see the welding to keep them from moving or "bending": http://www.faliconcranks.com/images/supercrank-2.jpg
