Sorry for the bad angle, first time with the helmet on the top of my head. My little brother is getting used to his crf in the video, and I'm getting used to riding the 125 until my crf's repaired.

Pulled the intake off the mustang. Chasing lean condition in bank 2 caused by a vacuum leak (with no smoke machine YAY) already checked the vacuum lines, egr, pcv ect. So i figured it was intake gaskets. Pulled it off and the driver side gasket looked a little goofy (which goes along with the issue...

you guys do know that the dyno should only be used for comparison purposes because the readings will be different based on altitude, temps, barometric pressure, molecules in the air, etc, right?

Right there with you. A Mechanical Engineer, also have the degree but nobody seems to want to hire me either.

service honda just sent the notification that my parts have shipped. UPS says that my parts will be here wednesday, which means I should be rebuilt a week from sunday and riding again after.

Some slow vids from Monday. I was riding my bosses 2003 kx125, and following her brother on a pos yz125, literally, it was a pos

...it does the same thing. There is where you went terribly wrong. My mechanical engineering co-op was at a specialty chemical company that produces additive packages for baseline oils; Honda, mobil 1, exxon, etc. Our job is to differentiate oils based on many different factors but gas mileage, pis...

all seem better than mine. Can't wait until I can afford another specialized bike, but for now I ride a Mongoose XR250.

we do, it's something like you can only hang out with managers if your a keyholder, and if your not a keyholder or manager or keyholder you must hang out with other employees that are in the same classification as you. But honestly we don't give a fudge. It's only retail after all.

@ 55.4 hours on the weisco piston, bike started sounding weird, my mechanic suggested a new piston/rings/camchain. Including the flywheel puller I'm only at $195 for OEM parts! Luckily my boss has a spare bike she let me ride yesterday and maybe beyond while I'm waiting for parts.

Is the stator timed correctly? I don't know on a '94 for sure, but on the newer two smokes the stator has a mark on it that should line up somewhere between two marks on the case for proper timing. That could be and issue if not correct. Also, have you tested all the wires for continuity through the...

So when do you start doing cool simulation stuff like this instead of differential equations I suck at? Just graduated in may, got to do fea in design 3 (2 semesters from finishing). I went through the design courses, if your in the FSAE program you would do more simulation though. The funnest clas...

To all you engineers in here! How on earth do I make Femap take into account a beam's own weight? I've tried doing it through giving the material a density and then applying acceleration(gravity) to the beam structure, and applying the mass through the property->nonstruct mass/length parameter but ...
