Your bike has run out of Orgone Energy, and so will not start. If you are interested, I can supply you with a new Orgone Energy Generator that should last you another couple of years.

Their unique endless cylinder design ensures that they produce the highest quality Orgone Energy, and the cinnamon sugar just adds a nice touch.

Thanks for all the great info!!!

I was wondering, I hear people talking about Jets.

Where do these go, I've never seen any bikes riding around with turbine engines on them?!?!?! Also can I plug a power commander into said jets to get better tuning (you know, c minor, d major etc, i'm a budding musician so i know all about tuning)

Oh cool! 8) Do you know where I can get some of that riding gear tuner? The stuff you put on your leathers and helmet visor - so I can B natural and C sharp. :D

Daisy,

I'm trying to be serious here. Please don't derail my thread with this nonsensical babble.

Although, I do believe what you require is some once daily womens vitamin supplement tablets. This will also assist if you obtain the same symptoms as menopause (which I have been told can affect women... technologies of these days, women who can make men pause anytime.. gees!!!)

Also, I saw a thread about tyre repair, neko or neki used duct tape? is this the best stuff to use or will normal sticky tape do the job? (moneys a bit tight)

nah mate the normal sticky tape or xmas sticky tape wont do, it doesnt have the polarity of a good quality duct tape, tho if u can afford it, the "100 mile an hour" tape is even better, it gives less distortion!!

im also wondering if u had problem with handling last time u rode it?? cos i once heard that if the bike pushes thru a left hander and tank slaps, theres probably a problem with your alternator...but thats only after u get it going...

this could be a newbie mistake, but ur not by chance trying to start the bike whilst wearing no pants are u?? cos the "good taste" switch will not allow this to happen...

Neko

Thanks for the advises with the tapes

No, but I did have a problem where If i applied the front brakes the back end got really light.

I've heard this is to do with the headlights not being on highbeam, is that true?

I havent tried V but have been told that new one called 'mother' taste like shit but works as a carby cleaner. Apparantly this makes FI bikes run smoother??

No do NOT use Duc tape on anything but Ducatis, it wont stick and you will crash, thats WHY it is called Duc tape :roll:
I dont blame you I thought it was a play on Kwaka (you know duck) tape but boy did I learn the hard way, yep it come unstuck and you guessed it I crashed :evil:
And 100mph tape ONLY works UP to 100mph, after that it will come off and you will crash.
You need to use zip ties as they dont let go, just drill a series of holes each side of the puncture and zippy tie it up for trouble free riding :wink:

The reason the back came up is because you must have put Nitrogen in it at the car service station (do NOT go there again) and now it acts like a helium baloon, let ALL the air out now and the tyre will stay on the ground, AND have a far better contact patch too :wink:
Do not use jets at all unless you are running kerosene instead of petrol as it is jet fuel which will make your bike run like a jet. At this point your kill switch becomes an afterburner (a little know fact), It works even when not running kero, while cranked in a corner hit the red button for a big suprise. I assure you, you will be launched... :lol:

newbs sheesh (ps dont try this stuff at home kiddies)
Just because you CAN ride, doesn't mean you SHOULD

Mick,

Thanks for the advise however, the man at the mobil I got my last two bottles of go-juice from (redbull, the high performance stuff they use to race planes) told me not to shake the bike around too much after filling up the tank as it will cause the redbull to lose it's ignitability when all the bubbles go away.


Speaking of which, maybe we should start a thread for the cheapest redbull locations, I hear the price of a barrell of bull is going to sky rocket due to the war in iran or germany ????!?

I'm having some trouble starting my bike, Which way should the red switch be turned, also do I turn the key to lock or ignition. I'm not to sure.

I keep turning the key but the damn thing wont start, and what the hell is the green light?? I think I have a oil problem too because when I turn it too ignition (which doesnt start it, ?!?!) the oil light comes on, I have oil though.

I didnt have enough first time, so was i Ok in using sunflower oil? i figured if it's good enough for my insides, its okay for my kwaka??!

Also, my chain has this greasy stuff on it, is that normal?

If running Jets in conjunction with a Power commander, make sure of three things.

1. Must be run in conjunction with a flux capacitor! Failure to do so will cause engine damage.

2. Must be run through a front fork Gold Valve set up. With out gold valves the turbines will seize.

3. Must be run with the special order only piggy back "Ranger" unit for the Power Commander. Only the "Ranger" piggy back unit can handle the change in power from stock to these mods.
