About, 10 months late matter of fact. So if you are already using Ubuntu on 3 of your computers, why troll here? For your other problem, before installing Vista on your motorcycle, you should have applied WD40. Then you wouldn't have had those piston problems! > > -- > Stephan > 2003 Yamaha R6 > > ???????????????? > ?????????????? |

The piston is just collateral damage as a result of what happens when a piston slams into a broken valve. =) Secondly, I said I run Ubuntu on 3 "of my computers". I also run Windows XP (both dual boot and XP only on some computers) and I also run Vista in a virtual machine as it makes it convenient for my Windows development projects. So like it or not Bill, I *do* use Windows and Vista included. -- Stephan 2003 Yamaha R6 君のこと思い出す日なんてないのは 君のこと忘れたときがないから |

Looks pretty nasty. :( Me trying to make a 600cc bike behave like it has 1,000cc. =) Essentially, I've been riding that bike so aggressively that I managed to stretch out the timing chain about a month ago to a point where it had to be replaced. I suspect that at this point in time the valves in that particular cylinder suffered or already previously suffered minor damage. Then time and high rpms just did it's thing and eventually the valve bent to the point where it snapped and the above is the result. -- Stephan 2003 Yamaha R6 君のこと思い出す日なんてないのは 君のこと忘れたときがないから |

Take better care of your machine, or you could be the next casualty, and not just a valve or the head. Last time I blew a motor in my bike was on a road trip across the state in the middle of nowhere. I suspect I got some bad gas with water in it and it blew a nickel sized hole in the flat of one of my pistons. I then road the bike on the shoulder 10 miles to the next exit and sat on a gravel pile outside of a gas station in a tiny town for the next 8 hours waiting for my friend to get there with his truck to take me and my bike back home. -- Priceless quotes in m.p.w.vista.general group: http://protectfreedom.tripod.com/kick.html "Fair use is not merely a nice concept--it is a federal law based on free speech rights under the First Amendment and is a cornerstone of the creativity and innovation that is a hallmark of this country.

It's what is left of the valve that used to be there. =) Well I had the choice of either spending 2k to fix it, or selling it back to the dealer at a 2k loss over what I was going to sell the bike for anyway at the end of the year. So I took the sell option and the remainder will go towards funding my next bike. Probably a R1. =) -- Stephan 2003 Yamaha R6 君のこと思い出す日なんてないのは 君のこと忘れたときがないから |
