    A Special Note about Email accounts!
    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

not sure if this has bin posted or if any of you know about it. but sometimes ill hear a noise in an engine (not just on bikes) but dont know what it is. i use a 2 foot stick, press it against an area of the engine then put thumb on the end and press my ear against my thumb. you can hear the internals much better. today i located noise in my clutch by doing this. try it!
 
I've used this trick with a big screwdriver to check for alternator bearing noise on my car. Works well and free - can't beat that. :)

I use a long section of vacuum hose. One end in your ear, the other pointed at the engine. Its half a stethoscope.... 8)
 
They make a special stethiscope just for this. Looks like the same thing the Doc uses but it has a long aluminum tube protruding from a collector/amplifyer. Not sure if you can buy them anymore but I borow my fathers. FYI Dost use a regular stethiscope and if you do be smart and keep it away from the exaust or exaust valvetrain or you will be sorry
