Engine is an 03 hydro. With the bike straight and level, headlight off, water pressure correct, brakes oiled, color codes matched and synthetic bean oil in the bar end weights, What number do I want the needle on my adjustable fuel pressure regulator pointing at?

Depends on the level of your blinker fluid and the torque spec on your muffler bearings. ;)

3 bar

It won't work, you need whale oil in the bar end weights. Probly explode just sitting there. Call 911 and hide under the bed.

Sasquatch Jim · « **Reply #11 on:** March 13, 2015, 05:15:36 PM »

It won't explode just because you don't have whale oil. You can substitute oil rendered from Texas armordildos.

If it wasn't for the Friday the 13th part I'd complain about the quality of wit today. Surely you can do better than whale oil . . .. :-\

Thanks for 42. I knew it was supposed to be In the 2.5-bar area but wasn't sure on account of there are no 2.5 bars in town anymore. They all serve full strength.

Pi

Speaking of which -- tomorrow is pi day. That doesn't happen too often.

. . . and I found a valid example of division by zero!

When my bike is stopped (zero road speed) the engine 'stalls' (won't continue to accelerate) with the torque converter spinning at about 1800 rpm. So at maximum slip, the math looks like this: 1800/0. Blows the mind.

I guess you're one of the luddites who won't subscribe to the use of the hose clamp. You wouldn't need to check or confirm the setting if you were a "clamper".

This way is more fun, AND I don't end up with an unknown quantity in my new construction. :)

But I do have a hose clamp on my external filter, just for folks who think I need one. It also hold the karma bell on the bike.

John A · « **Reply #17 on:** March 14, 2015, 04:23:04 AM »

I believe you're gonna need a hose clamp on the nut sac housing retention assembly. Otherwise it's likely to blow up just sitting there. Call 911 and hide in the closet. :beat_horse

John A · « **Reply #18 on:** March 14, 2015, 08:34:16 AM »

Did anybody call 911 ? I'm going to hide in the tire pile ! I missed that there was a real question in the post until this morning. I still think it will explode at some point!

rodekyll · « **Reply #19 on:** March 14, 2015, 02:46:41 PM »

Yes, you seemed to be in distress, so I called 911 right after I read it. I told them it was the John in Wisconsin, and then they didn't want to go at all. So I told them you wanted to buy tickets to some policeman's balls. I'da thought they'd be all over it . . .

MotoGoosy · « **Reply #20 on:** March 14, 2015, 04:36:37 PM »

You need at least 3 pints of oil from the anal sacs of a Mongoose. Hard to get, but well worth it. Let me know how that works out for ya.

rodekyll · « **Reply #21 on:** March 14, 2015, 06:15:16 PM »

Hmmm. Could I substitute 4 pints from a canadagoose?

MotoGoosy · « **Reply #22 on:** March 14, 2015, 07:25:59 PM »

No, not same.

. Thanks, I'm still in the tire pile . They swat teamed the place this afternoon, last I saw of the wife she was cuffed and stuffed in a cruiser. I'm safe though......

Still snowed in up there huh? ;D

John A · « **Reply #25 on:** March 15, 2015, 07:50:21 AM »

Actually not anymore ! The wife and I are going to go for a ride today, maybe sanity will return after all!

rodekyll · « **Reply #26 on:** March 15, 2015, 04:07:09 PM »

Here it is mid-March and we're finally getting some snow. It started yesterday. There's a few slushy inches on the ground, but it's really too warm to last. Temps go back to the 40s tomorrow.
