so whats new tonight?

anything new come up?

huh? huh?

someone knows sumpin'

 

If I am getting mail order parts, they are the first I call.

 

I know 2 things.

 

1.Yellow and blue make green. (Thats a given[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-wink.gif[/img])

 

2.Don't eat yellow snow.(Not always a given, but good advise)

 

I don't know if anyone else on here has one of the newer 05/06 Zuki/Kawi 400's but it seems that with them switching to Magnesium clutch side cover's in 05, that the magnesium dosen't react too well with coolant and everyone who is checking their water pump covers that are part of the the clutch cover and finding them coroded and pitted. Looks like at least 50 (that I know of, prob even more) complaints have been filed with Suzuki and no bulletin or recall has been generated.

Another bad thing with this is that the new Zuki 450 has that same magnesium cover[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img]

I'm gonna get ahold of the step-son tomorrow and make sure he checks his, our warranty just ran out last month[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-frown.gif[/img].

 

MB if U could possibly help out some of these effected Zuki owners or potential effectee's that might come Ur way, seems that alot of dealerships are unaware or not helping out at all, since now bulletin is out yet.
There is a ton of pics and info on the effected quads at the letter Z with a 4 and a 00 followed by central district w/o the district . com

 

I recieved this today. All of you upset about the P5000 closure should read and respond to this.


To: CLOUT Administrator; Mark Reid; Jim Dupras; Santeford Gary; David Hiatt; Steve Johnson; Don Lambert
Subject: P5000 ORV Closure - Public Meeting Notice




Just got a call from JoAnn Chapman, assistant to
Representative Mike Sells (425-257-2168)

There will be a meeting on December 19th (Monday) at
4:00PM in Everett for the Public to meet with DNR
Management and share our concerns over the closing of
the P5000 ORV area.

Location of the Meeting:
Everett Labor Temple Building
2812 Lombard Ave
Everett, WA
Time: 4:00 PM
Date: 12/19/05

Please get the word out to all of your riding Friends
to attend and share their concerns. It would be best
to not get real nasty at this meeting or they will
stop listening. But express our concerns and solutions
to their issues. And our willingness to support the
changes needed to keep it opened.

It would be GREAT if you would each bring a copy of the EMAILS/LETTERs you have each sent to Doug Sutherland (his email is cpl@wadnr.gov ) who is the Commissioner of Public Lands (Elected DNR State Timber company president) AND your emails to your elected WA representatives (you each have two of those) and your WA senator. You can easily find your legislators and a special email form for contacting them using the link http://apps.leg.wa.gov/districtfinder/

WE NEED A HUGE PILE THOSE COPIES SO THEY CAN CLEARLY SEE THAT WE ARE CONTACTING THEIR BOSS AND THE LEGISLATURE!

Can't make the meeting at 4:00 P.M.? Then at least email a copy of your letters to Jeff Kenoyer [mailto:kenoj45@yahoo.com]

so he can present them for you.

I will contact the Everett Herald, put up signs at the
P5000 entrance (again). Contact Friends and the
Northwest Motorcycle Association, CLOUT, and get
notices to Lynnwood & Smokey Point Cycle Barn.

Do what you can to also get the word out.

Thank you! Your support is needed!!

I have no doubt that the Sheriff of Nottingham will be ready to deny us entrance if we allow the DNR to turn our public land into the King's Forest as seems to be their intent.

Thanks,

Dave Hiatt

Recreational Shooting representative on the DNR WAC Revision Advisory Committee.

 

Looks like I'll finally get to meet you guys...I'm going to be there doing some coverage of those races for atvriders.com. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img]
