I'm sure there are plenty of people who haven't a clue what this thread is about ... me being one of them!!! However there are lots of "everyday" threads to read ... just skip the more complicated ones. Threads like this are relevant for some guys because they actually are capable of doing it and anybody else attempting it will be able to use the advice given.

There's no need to "limit" things - there will always be room on the forum for seriously complicated threads. A review of the technical discussions is already under discussion amongst the "staff" ... when I have five minutes (or realistically - an hour or two - probably over Easter) I shall be putting some sub-sections into the Technical forum... then (for instance) tyre threads will have their own area and people can find information far more easily.

Glad you replied to that, but I still stand by what I said and unlike some people on here I do have a life other than my TRX850.

If you like I'm sure that I can check some of your posts and come to the same conclusion about you, as you have of me.

But in the end we all have at least one thing in common.

Our bikes.

P.S I'm going to attempt to change my oil(something that I have done many times) but some one here may be able to do it better than me so can you help? :D :D :D

Jak managed a very diplomatic and correct answer, not sure I can though...

Are You a troll, or did You just have a bad hair day? :roll:

What exactly are You on about? What is it that You "stand by"? Are we not allowed to discuss technical matters that go beyond Your technical horizon, or what? The people that wrote in this thread are all interested in modding and learning about technology. There are plenty petrol-heads in this forum that find this (and other technological) discussion/s interesting, and also have the background to back it up with. And even if they don't, so far, we've all been happy to share or learn. I'm not put off with the fact that You find it too technical, we're all in to biking for different reasons. I can live with all of those reasons, and even understand them, without making stupid comments... But I am upset with the patronizing tone, indicating that people either don't have the knowledge or ability, or that they don't have a life... As Jak wrote, if it's not interesting, then don't read.

I am not telling You to feck off, on the contrary, step down from them horses, and enjoy the fully flavoured community, with all different tastes and interests instead!

Healthy discussion is fine here ... keep it in line though guys or I'll have to step in and I don't want to have to put my "Admin" hat on too much!!! There is room on this forum for everyone - both those who are accomplished mechanics and those who just ride and leave the complicated stuff to others. I am completely in the second category ... washing it once or twice a year is as close to technical as I get! I haven't a bloody clue about the mechanical side of things.

We all love TRX's - please remember that and play nicely 8)





PS ... will those who want to debate this please remember to use plenty of :D :) :o :shock: 8) :twisted: in their posts ... sarcasm and piss-taking doesn't come across if you don't and people will think you are being argumentative.

PPS ... anyone wanting to carry on this particular discussion (the off topic bit that has nothing to do with high velocity porting) ... please take it here :arrow: http://trx850.motomaniac.net/forum/view ... =38&t=2726

Saddo.

No, you just showed us your level of maturity. And it´s OK if you´re ~10!
But why infest a forum like this if you have 8 years left until you can ride a bike??

Have a nice eastern!

Oh yes, sorry, kenmore could have meant Hans.

Now will you all shut up and go ride your bikes ... or am I the only one round here who would rather do that than sit at the pc? :twisted: :twisted: :lol: 8)

even without the snowstorm, I' have a problem... My cylinder head has to be put back. Maybe it's gonna be a problem as it's not from the real world?
Trolbike or cyberbike, that's the question?
