Re: Ran the POS tonight.

lol what a fuckin weekend... shit man i am up the same crick! finally took time off work yesterday so i could get my GST up and running! well i got the new clutch fork and the throwout bearing in and i was on the way home to eat supper and i was fuckin around and i launched it at a stop light and once i hit second the car rev'd WOT! instantly i shut the car off but it was too late! i looked under the hood at all the connections and everything i could think of and couldnt see anything... so i got back in the car and tried to push the pedal to WOT and i heard click click... so i figured a cable came loose... nope! the spring on the throttle body broke and was holding it WOT! called up my buddy and he came with his truck and trailer and we trailered it back to my shop where i spent all of last night working on it...found out i got valve float on the 2nd and 3rd cylinders and bent all 4 of the intake valves out of those cylinders! so i spent the last 14hrs working on my car and trying to find out what the fuck happend, but i got the head off and its already at my parts store being rebuilt... at $89 a valve its not cheap! i took it to him an hr ago when they opened at 7am and i stayed there until he got the valves out and made sure everything else was fine... valve guides didnt get hurt nor did the valve seats! so i just needed new valves and springs which he has to order tomorrow morning and i should have it back by tuesday afternoon when i get back from goin to see gstclips! so there goes 6-700 (depending on what they charge me for labor) out of my pocket just cause a little fuckin spring! now i have to get all new gaskets and take off another day of work so i can hopefully have it running before next weekend!

as for the RST... clutch is so bad its barely even drivable, and i broke an oil line so i have to make another one of those! luckily that didnt wreck anything... so my only vehicle is my motorcycle right now and it has rained the last 23 days out of 30! I HATE FUCKIN RAIN! just my luck! oh well the RST will be up and running in a few months, i'll give that one a break and beat on the GST for awhile... anyways, i am off to bed, see ya in 8 hrs!

Re: Ran the POS tonight.

That 89 dollars a valve is a typo right? I paid 10 a valve for 1mm over nitride coated stainless! ~180 for all 16.

Re: Ran the POS tonight.

just roll on it and pull back! you'll get the hang of it... anyways i am getting sick of the bike, to slow, i have had it for a year and 3 days and i want a different one already... i am planning on either getting a 04 R1 or a 04 GSXR 1100 by the end of the year! i wouldnt mind the busa 1300 but they arent that fast out the hole... the GSXR will whoop its ass in the 1/4 mile and thats the length i like to go fast! just full throttle for 1/4 mile and i'm good...
