SuzukiSavage.com - Belt Chirp

SouthernMD Ex Member	Re: Belt Chirp Reply #30 - 01/26/06 at 04:58:33 BS I’d like to make two points here. First the purpose of this post was to answer some questions that the owner of a Suzuki Savage had about some problems with his bike not discuss the pros and cons of speed shifting. Second if you want to start a post discussing the pros and cons of speed shifting you are certainly welcome to.

I never said I couldn't read what you wrote. I said I could read what Greg wrote after you asked if he spoke English.

Okay,

Seems I can't post a reply without getting attacked. I don't think I enjoy being here.

You guys are a bunch of geriatric poser wannabes who don't like to ride your bikes. Strip your bikes or dress them up like Philipino taxis, I don't care. They still won't be HDs and you still won't be 1 percenters.

Bikes are for riding, not posing with.

The push rod from the foot leaver to the shift arm is bent. By the picture in the book it’s suppose to be straight. Yes, it is supposed to be straight. Well, this was a fun little discussion

Hi BS. Do you mind if I call you BS, for short?

Anyway, I don't think that anyone was "attacking" you, but is it possible for you to have a discussion without name calling or tantrums? Geez, if we're all geriatric, then you are simply childish. Get real.

What I said was based on my opinion AND my experience. Nothing more. Take it or leave it. However, while you're calling the rest of us posers, it seems that you don't state anything based your own experience, but rather you seem to only want to offer examples of or suggest what others do. Not much risk in that now, is there?

If you want to have a discussions and share your opinions and experiences, that would be great. If not, simply go away. I was riding long before you, and with your attitude, I'll probably be riding long after you.

Well I couldn’t wait for Saturday so I pulled the push rod off and straitened it after work today. What a difference in the way it shifts. I didn’t have a chance to ride it because my wife leaves for her work as soon as I get home leaving me to play daddy with our 4 year old all night. However just sitting still in the drive way with the engine running it has a lot more positive feel to the shifter, before it was real springy. It also gave me the chance to position the foot leaver where I want it. The next chance I’ll have to ride is Saturday. I’ll report back moving results then.

By the way BS37066 hope I didn’t heart your feelings. In other forums I belong to the person who starts the topic is responsible for keeping it on track.

here we pretty much allow things to run it's course, one idea leads to another, and the disccussion keeps on moving. all we ask is that we "agree to disagree" with no personal attacks. it's worked pretty good so far.

Now see, here's the thing....

Often people write that the bike is hard to shift thru nuetral to 2nd gear, which is a pretty long throw. Usually someone mentions the shifter adjustment. In this case you were needing to go 70 to get into 5th (that's determination). So, I said this and then others said that...we get into shifting techniques...and then someone (Rob?) mentions the linkage.

Isn't life wonderful?
