    bullying? i dont get it

    I was bullied in school when I was young. I moved to Canada and started mid-school year, my cloths were different and I had an accent. It was really tough making friends as social circles in class were already defined. I was picked on and the friends I had weren't close enough to care or brave...

    sad that it takes death for ppl to rally around someone...

    Agreed, yes the girl acted in a stupid manner but she was a needy young teenage girl. She was failed by her parents and the social support structure around her. I can't get over the fact that five weeks after posting that video that she committed suicide. I've heard nothing about what was done...

    Please help diagnose an electrical problem. Is this a short?

    Both work. Using a voltmeter to measure parasitic loss is from the days of analog voltmeters and when most shops didn't have easy to use ammeters that measured such low draw. The voltmeter method works very well and you can tell by the needle deflection what type of draw is being measured.

    I have used lithium in my race bike and have a Shorai in my DRZ ... they're outstanding batteries. You can't trickle charge them like a lead acid though, once they're charged they pretty much stay that way (for a very ling time)

    Please help diagnose an electrical problem. Is this a short?

    What the OP described is a parasitic draw test. Generally anything under battery voltage indicates that there isn't a significant draw. That doesn't mean that showing 10 volts is good that could be battery voltage given the condition of your battery. A motorcycle battery, especially if older...

    Need car now that it's cold. Any good audi dealer in west end??

    Thanks, but that doesn't answer my question. Researching reliability ratings has nothing to do with making a statement that someone wouldn't want to own one out of warranty which is why I asked. I own an Audi, which is out of warranty, and I wanted t know if there was substance behind the...

    Stop recommending this ****, it's dangerous. It's not a permanent fix or safe fix.

    **** in my tire. What to do ?

    Best to leave it in there unless you;re prepared to fix it when you pull it out and it is leaking. Best advice if to leave it in there and take it to a shop to have it inspected, repaired / replaced.

    Brake bleeding/filling question

    +1 gravity is a wonderful thing. Once you have fluid flowing through then you may need to bleed the master cylinder as well. If you can't get fluid flowing with gravity open the bleeder on one of the calipers and use your finger tip as a check valve. Place your finger tip over top of the open...

    Sounds like you're just experiencing cold brakes.

    Brakes feel 'spongy' at highway...

    and run out on a rotor or a front end vibe can cause the piston further back in the caliper bore causing a weak or spongy feel on first apply and then firmer on the next. This just as likely as needing to bleed air from the system.
