The latest AMA press release sez CARB fined Dynojet for selling Power Commanders that allow motorcycles to go out of EPA emissions compliance.... Dynojet has agreed to sell a PowerCommander that will meet EPA and CARB requirments for sale in California.

I'm not sure how that's going to work as recalibrating EFI for more power is usually done by richening the mixture and slowing the advance curve coupled with a modified free'r flowing exhaust and less restrictive intake, all of which are illegle under current EPA laws. Just tweaking the fuel injection isn't going to make much difference I wouldn't think.

Over on the HD Forums they're still arguing whether they should run loud pipes or not...Clueless as usual, the Gov'ment is three steps ahead of them all ready. Hope they all saved their stock parts LOL....

I usually keep my stuff stock anyway 'cause I'm not a tinker'r and I am a cheapskate, once you start changing stuff around it tends to snowball and before you know it you're in the bike for a couple of grand and it don't really run any better, just louder and less gas milage. The exception being my late lamented Bonneville and my Suzook with the Holeshot street can, which sounds way better than stock without jetting or intake work.

Mods I make are mostly comfort and handling, not engine...usually works better that way.

Yeah, I've done it myself and I have several friends who've thrown money at a bike and wound up with a small performance increase and a tempremental engine that ran like crap below 4k, I think other than very minor mods it's just a waste of time and energy. Espescially jetting, the Triumph and Bandit web sites are full of guys saying I rejetted my bike, cut holes in the airbox, added pipes etc. and now it runs like sh*t, what do I do?????????

I usually just ride the darn things, for the $3 or 4 k some people put in their Harley motors they could have went and bought a used GSXR and went as fast as they wanted.

Gut them baffles, get rid of that stupid balance pipe, bore a bunch of holes in the airbox with a hole saw and stick a K&N in there, run a 195 main jet... 145 pilot toss the needle and open the mixture screw up 10 turns, file the screw holes on the advance plate so you can crank in a few more degrees, grind a few thousands off the cylnder head to get the compression up around 14:1....she'll run like sh*t through a goose ga'dammit !!!!!!!!!

McCain looks like he's in with a chance from the other side. Probably the pick of the republican litter, better than some bible banging tub-thumper anyway.

I insinuated Hillary Clinton was a Lesbian, but claimed that would be no deterrent to my having sex with her, if proffered.

In vulgar terms. (i.e. - not "Politically Correct", and phrased in vulgar vernacular, or "common speech"). No Profanity involved.

Strictly speaking If I knew you fantasized about boinking Hillary I'd have banned you myself........

Somethings you just need to keep to yo'sef.....

 

[sarnali2]

You should have me tell you about my Fantasies of Janet Reno some time.

Oh, and - watch that "boinkin' " language, OK Bucko?

Ah yes, Janet Reno, Madeliene Albright, a box of wine, a vat of jello, some viagra and me.....
