    So then why is it i am getting alot of red rep?

    I could have kept information i had to myself. Did i? No...

    Great to see the appreciation guys truely really thats just great.

    Don't think i will bother coming to the chiller now.

    Skid.
    see, it's not really that u haven't been helpful. that's not the point we're getting at. let's make an analogy here....

    it's like u've thrown a dog a a bone. then 2 seconds later u shoot the dog with a tranquilizer. take the bone away, show it a stick and say "i've helped lots". see, though the friends of your friend's friend may have his bike, telling us this doesn't help. if u can pull a few strngs, awesome! and there u'd not only have helped,u'd have practically given andrew his bike... but procrastinating and then showing more sticks don't help the cause fully. it's not a question of us red repping u... more the method used.

    haha... that being said... that's just my thoughts on that little input of yours buddy.

    :P, yeah, the xs decided to stall again on the way home. Was riding with my mate, and we got to the bit just before cook street after aotea square, going straight through, on that little up hill bit, and it stalled. Luckily i was in the far left, so cars could pass me, then wheeled it slowly backwards, when there was no one there, turned around, adn was wondering how to hill start it.

    Saw a lovely wide slightly downhill empty footpath, thought to myself "when theres a gap", and rolled it down there. Sure enough it started first off since it was warm, rode the rest of the way home keeping revs at 4k. Its fine now

    There's always got to be one shitter that's a bitch to start and won't idle properly in the club. My bike used to be it, but I sorted it -- sorry dude, must be your turn!

    Nar, a stephen special mixed with some jafa, andrew and ej (i.e. He'll drop a valve, hole a piston, and chuck a chain all while 12 o'clocking)

    that's a pretty shocking intake system for it to take in water like that - did he mod the fuck out of it and ditch the filter or something or is this just the usual kawasaki engineering?
