to the forum tylerman sounds like you got your work cut out with that RS.

its usually red in colour and is quite "pasty" in viscosity.

However complain at will if the temperature is unsuitable. 6: No man shall ever be required to buy a birthday present for another man. In fact, even remembering your mate's birthday is strictly optional. At that point, you must celebrate at a strip bar of the birthday boy's choice. 7: In the mini-bus, the strongest bladder determines pit stops, not the weakest. 8: When stumbling upon other blokes watching a sporting event, you may ask the score of the game in progress, but you may never ask who's playing. 9: You may fart in front of a woman only after you have brought her to climax. If you trap her head under the covers for the purpose of flatulent entertainment (commonly known as a Dutch oven), she's officially your girlfriend. 10: It is permissible to drink a fruity alcohol drink only when you're sunning on a tropical beach ... and it's delivered by a topless model and only when it's free. 11: Only in situations of mortal and/or physical peril are you allowed to kick another guy in the nuts. 12: Unless you're in prison, never fight naked. 13: Friends don't let friends wear Speedos.

Keep a stopwatch by the phone. Hang up if necessary. 22: The morning after you and a girl who was formerly 'just a friend' have carnal, drunken monkey sex.

But do you really know the difference between them? In an effort to keep you informed, the definition of each is listed below: * 'GUTS' is arriving home late after a night out with the guys, being assaulted by your wife with a broom, and having the guts to say, 'are you still cleaning or are you flying somewhere?' * 'BALLS' is coming home late after a night out with the guys smelling of perfume and beer, lipstick on your collar, slapping your wife square on the ass and having the balls to say, 'You're next fatty!'

some dimensions of yam wheels for any builders http://homepage1.nifty.com/246/yam_whel2.htm

well I have an old 250 case, so this morning I ground out the casting and split the lump around the plug and this came out; so its only a push fit (as opposed to interference fit) and has an O ring to stop the oil leaking out. I wonder what the casting was for?

Business Meeting Bingo.... 1. Before (or during) your next meeting, seminar, or conference call, prepare yourself by drawing a square. I find that 5″x5″ is a good size. Divide the card into columns-five across and five down. That will give you 25 one-inch blocks. 2. Write one of the following words/phrases in each block: synergy strategic fit core competencies best practice bottom line revisit take that off-line 24/7 out of the loop benchmark value-added proactive win-win think outside the box fast track result-driven empower knowledge base solution touch base mindset client focus paradigm game plan leverage 3. Check off the appropriate block when you hear one of those words/phrases. 4. When you get five blocks horizontally, vertically, or diagonally, stand up and shout “BULLSHIT!”

The wife got me a Philips 42 " for Christmas. What the fuck do I need a screwdriver that big for?

Happy new year to you all!!!

their stainless steve, my xs did that as they are single wall pipes. originals were twin walled. Anyhoo to the forum Fol

thanks I've emailed them Anyone else got somewhere nearer?

oops your right, i was looking at the NOS case when it was upside down thanks for checking!! I now need to get a plug made and seal the case, strange it wasn't already done in the first place!!

I had a Z400 once can anyone tell me how old that is (that's if you can answer curt92x question)

one's a bloke, i rekon that's Merv

I have a new xs case (NOS) which I am going to use instead of my currently (porous) one The only concern I have is that there is a machined hole under the case in front right quadrant ( as you sit on the bike) Mine has the casting, but is either had an alloy bung drifted in or it has not been machined out! there is no aparant use for this and is maybe for a future/past mod that didn't materalise with me so far? The reason I'm asking 360 owners is, what do you have there?, is it like my 400 or do you have someting else in its place. Cheers Drewps

anyone know of a decent dynamic crank balancer in the manchester/northwest area of the UK? looking to having it done when I rebuild the engine into new cases in a couple of weeks time drewps

I'd be inclined to leave standard so its easer to sell. cables need to be loobed yearly ( all you readers do that don't you?) you can loob a cable using a funnel and plasticene to seal it and leave overnight, you can use a small cableoiler which uses the power from the wd40 (or whatever) oil spray or you can get a hydraulic cable oiler (£18 from Frost) and these force the oil through in seconds and are great (cos I got one )

Nice one Merv

thought graphite was slippy? maybe put thread lock on your nut (not your head) maybe you could lap in the taper to get max friction using fine valve paste!!!

sounds like you also need to make sure the earthing is sound and not corroded. you would need to undo every terminal and clean using wd40. BTW to the forum
