Hey Leopard cub ,

You should be checking your gears and chain adjustment right now . You said the mc dude showed you how . so go do it and post a pic of what it looks like.
Don't you want to know if that is the noise you are hearing. If you let it go and keep riding it can lock up the rear wheel and cause you to crash.

There are lots of video's on you tube on how to adj a motorcycle chain . You also have your repair manual.

If you do this now it will build some credibility for you before you get shunned .

You already stated you are an Idiot , so do something smart.

Burns, teach me how to corner technically one day, ok?

May your tank never touch Earth.  :drinks:

sorry, I'm no instructor ("technically")
There's nothing you can do that can't be done.

Ooh, popcorn time is the best time  :blush:  (popcorn)

Whats a PVHO? I looked at an industrial commercial diving compressor for class a few times. That was right about the time i got kicked out woth a 4.0gpa. Those rat bastards didnt even let me complete the welding course.

Burns, i will listen to damn near any advice you have to offer but 1) im an idiot and 2) you cant convince me to stop riding so bear that in mind while you whoop my ass woth knowledge.

Also, it's the chain. Or possibly rattling pipes. Does anyone want to sell me a non-op motor i can tinker with?

"What is a PVHO?......ummmmmm.....Not sure if you asked a question here. (You posted the following on June 13th......"School is going well too, although I got pretty hot when some guy snitched and signed my SOP for PVHO class today which pissed me off but then he was acting like a little kid which made me mad.")

....I had to google PVHO and so you contributed to my education...thanks

I have no idea what you mean by a "woth a 4.0gpa", but what`s interesting is that the Commercial Diving class you mentioned on June 13th turned out to be "rat bastards that didn`t even let me complete the welding course"....which I gather was part of the Commercial diving course you stated you were doing back then.

(As a duty of care I was hoping you didn`t take on Commercial diving Services!...let alone touch one of their compressors!)

....Do you see a recurring theme here? Lot`s of rat bastards around ya?  Is it always THEM, quote, "acting like a little kid and making me mad".

The good news here is that you`ve stumbled upon a lot of true rat bastards here that actually understand, and with some maturity we really believe that your a cock.....but that`s not so bad, I gotta tell ya I`m really enjoying your threads and hope we can help you.

Suggest you:-

1. Don`t start so many threads for the same subject, ("New motor" or "1174 overhaul" as an example...not both or even more)

2. Listen and act singularly (one prob at a time!) and report back on the results so we can enjoy further and lay the steps to FJ heaven & supportive Comraderie..(Your memory is obviously not good enough to ask and solve more than one thing at a time anyhow.)

3. Mate, you gotta make it to a Rally.... you`ll feel so at home and I for one would luv to sit around the campfire with you, seriously.
   
You`ve got character.  I`m sincerely hoping you`re man enough to take on all three suggestions. :drinks:

And do what?

What many of us do... When tired of a thread, we click on the "Unread" then click it again.... No need for intervention... Just ignore it and move on. What I consider self moderation.... Stop posting...
