A cautionary note and a lesson re-learned

Post by KarlP »

For those of you running the stock SA, they can plug up.

I had no idea. Mine was so restricted the bike just would not GO.

Apparently this happend gradually over the years. When I put some RB Designs goodies on the problem became obvious.

I put one on off a different bike, and HOLY COW! Theres a motor!

A BTW...but 'ya ever notice how 'arrestor' and 'arrester' are not at all the same thing?

:hmm:

Kind'a btw...but an acronym is a word formed from ('fer example) the first letters of a name or thing. A word is going to be something you can SAY.

Get it? Ha...I'm so funny.....

'SAY' may be the phonetic rendition of SA, but prolly not.


Take 'WAVES'. That's a word. You can SAY it. It stands for:
Women Accepted for Volunteer Emergency Service.

Where'd you think the saying 'Join the Navy. Ride a WAVE' came from?

Had nothing to do with surfing........

Anyway....th'ar 'ya go.

KIPS!

There's anudder one.........

IEEE

There ain't one...even if the web says so.

Well, I guess you could say, 'EYE-YEEeeeeeeeee'........... :wink:

Uh...no. What a waste of a lot of product, but I don't.

Still...although Wibby evidently 'gets it', I don't.

The 'Huh?' applied to something in particular?

Something was said of acronyms. I chimed in with the usual obloviating (sic) goober.

So....what's the question?

Maybe it's me cc, but i just read your post and that's what i said to myself. I never really paid attention to the very beginning of the topic, because i don't have a stock sa. I'm lost :neutral:

It's not in the beginning.

The 'acronym' reference is in the second post...

Don't let your SA get PU or your MC won't RWAD and you'll be PO'd


I hate acronyms and regret ever using even ONE in this post.....
