The problem is most likely with your flux capacitor.

Re: RC51 FI

could be the muffler bearring or your starting fluid might be low. your salad shooter may have a piece of carrot hung up in it also

Don't be silly, the carrots usually go through the shooter easily. It's the brocolli that usually gets hung up in there with all the odd shapes.

Check your brocolli output. I bet that's your problem.

Carrots, geez, what are you thinking?

It would seem you know nothing about this. If a carrot gets turned it will rip your O Ring and you'll suffer plenty of damage

that's ONLY if your magrooder valve is not fully lubricated. Surely the guy keeps the magrooder valve in good shape.

well, he didn't specify the year of the bike. The flipity flopity floos were only an add on for the latest models. And if it were that new, he could take it to the dealer.
On the pre flipity flopity floo models the magrooder must be manually lubricated. It's right next to the seventh fetzer valve.

Re: RC51 FI

Well some stay on topic and some are interesting then there are some like these. "I have a light on my bike that comes on. anyone know why that could be" the thread topic might as well have been "please gather here, jack my thread, and of course... enjoy yourself"

Re: RC51 FI

Yea I love those types of questions.

My boss is known for asking good ones. Monday he parked by my motorcycle, came in my office and saw my helmet, jacket and gloves on my desk and asked..."Ride the bike in today?"
I told him no, I had it towed here the night before and just wanted to ride it home. Took him a second to think about that one.

Re: RC51 FI

after reading such a perfect example of thread jacking i was almost scared i would ruin it if i added anything. oh well. i think he should check the blinker fluid, and if that's ok the oil distributor may not be calibrated properly. that's where i would start.

Re: RC51 FI

Of course if his rectinal rectifier is stuffed that would account for the magrooder valve not lubricating his O' ring.

The very first thing he needs to do is rotate his tires, that should help.
