... the Space Shuttle? Or was that made in China ?

On a related note, this video is a good look at how crisis management SHOULD work. A company shouldn't be worried about their immediate stock price in a crisis, they should be worried about fixing the problem and restoring trust A Trusted Pill Turned Deadly. How Tylenol Made a Comeback | Retro...

I am surprised he has lasted this long too. My guess is they are just keeping him to weather the brunt of this, then when they start a turnaround, get a fresh face in? I think their reaction to this crisis was born out of the same corporate culture that allowed the MAX 8 failure in the first...

The Lifan and the Piranha have the same 2-bolt pattern. The Piranha I have is the 140, I believe the only bigger one is the Lifan 150 but I didn't want to be forced into using an oil cooler (though maybe I'll add one to the Piranha). Between the S90 and the CT90, DRATV has been very helpful...

Pardon the crowded garage! I got the roller together, for the most part (minus the fenders) So this pretty much brings me back to the start point? A roller! But at least its pretty sound from where I'm standing. Just to recap for the record, its now got new: - Wheel bearings and seals, front...

I have a 30L ultrasonic. I use it a lot, it does a pretty good job. It's not so great with big caked-on stuff though, so its best to clean as well as you can first and finish it up in the ultrasonic. That's my take, anyway. Use compressed air (a computer duster works) to blow out the larger...

Nice. That is one part that I am missing as well, but it will probably have to wait for the very end. I'm going to have to find a 12v battery that will fit in there first ? Is your S90 on the road? Or a project?

One last mockup with the 3d printed engine adapter. I just had to make a few tweaks to the original design. Now everything seems to go together well. Next up I will have to make them out of metal, now that I know it should work. With the fabrication (hopefully) being over, I primed and...

What a gong show

The instructions from Boyesen said that if the kit comes with retaining plates, don't use the stock reed stop. I thought this was a little weird myself, and considered just using the stock stop instead of that tiny retaining plate, but ended up listening to the instructions. Whats your take...

Ahhh I see. I remember reading recommendations on the yamaha enduro forum to start a light fire and chuck your exhaust in it to clean it out. Now I understand I could definitely try this, those carbs would need a good cleaning probably, but its definitely doable So today I got some time to...

I'll have to pull it for the pressure test anyway, so I'll be sure to take a look ? That's wild! I do shut the petcock off, but yea I'll be sure to check the exhaust like I stated above. Thanks for the heads up Thanks Bitzz. Yes, its on dino oil. The carb came with the motor, all internals...

I installed the crank before the transmission (not what you want to hear, I know) This is what I did: - Froze the bearings and crank - Heated up the right side crankcase with a torch (don't go too hot), you could use an oven too. I then dropped in one of the frozen bearings. When that settled...

I don't remember how it went in - but I paid very close attention to all seal orientations, especially with the crank seals because there are oil passages near there. Also, the pressure test I ran showed no leaks, so I think its unlikely. Not impossible, just unlikely........ I'm not sure I'll...

I actually bought one a while back (a PLX wideband kit). Tried to use it yesterday, with a tailpipe sniffer I built (as per the advice here and here). But I don't have the capacity to weld, so I used JB weld. It didn't work at all. On the 55 pilot/160 main, it was reporting 15 AFR, while spewing...

Hey everyone, I'm working on tuning my '75 Yamaha DT400 (2 stroke single). Stock jetting is #40 pilot, #160 main on a Mikuni VM32 round slide carb. I have the stock airbox (with a UNI filter), and an aftermarket pipe. On the pilot side, I went rich because I am new to this and have no idea...

Ah, OK. I was thinking about my little Honda 90 with the Lifan in it. I ran it for a while just on the race wiring, it worked fine. And I have bump started when the battery is low, just fine. But I suppose I have never tried with a totally dead battery. Edit: I forgot the Lifan was designed to...

I don't have FI on any of my bikes - so I don't know what I'm talking about - but if you jump one with a dead battery, shouldn't the alternator be outputting enough at idle to keep it going?

I like Bearings Canada Bearings Canada, The Ball Bearing Canadian Online Store I believe the crank bearings are 6306-C3. The transmission bearings can be pricey (and unique to Yamaha I think), luckily I didn't have to replace mine, hopefully your engine is the same. You shouldn't have to replace...

So its been a while I guess. Good news though - I got the bike titled in my name, with the bill of sale and an affidavit. I thought it was a long shot, which is why I've been dragging my heals on this one. No ownership, no history of registration anywhere. But by chance, I ended up at the...
