speedo is a little faster than you're usually.

oil flows thru the clutch cover so 150° F and above is normal.

Hexnut,  I highlighted all the various questions you posed in your first post.

Please try in the future to limit yourself to one (1) question per thread and try to only have one (1) open active thread in RSD at a time.

Also, please title your threads clearly to match your question.   This helps our search engine find information better later on.

See, I was kinder and gentler, kinder and gentler -- I didn't actually shoot him, I just showed him the shotgun.   I reworded it, see if this version reads any better to you.

I think there is a miss communication here.Oldfeller wasn't yelling at you.He is trying to make it so the next guy that has the same questions you have can be answered by doing a search with key words.
I've been on this site for about 6 years now.And have seen alot of changes...usually for the better.Don't give up on us yet.

 My my,.. we do get our feelings hurt needlessly, eh?

If you read what OF posted literally, instead of trying to find something nasty in it, it reads quite normally:

Please try in the future to limit yourself to one (1) question per thread and try to only have one (1) open active thread in RSD at a time. this is a very reasonable request, worded respectfully and, especially for OF, quite mildly.

...

Also, please title your threads clearly to match your question.   This helps our search engine find information better later on.  This touches on one of my pet peeves!!
-- Each of us owes it to all the others of us to carefully word the titles of threads as decriptively as possible.  
-- Some of us here don't have near enough time to open up every stinkin' thread to see what is in it.  
-- A descriptive and accurate title will not only save time for the masses, it will get much better responses to your issue.  
-- Folks naturally tend to skip over titles like "a problem" or "how to fix this" or "a question."
-- Wouldn't you be much more inclined to click on a thread with titles like these?:
   --- How do I reduce the blister size on my GF's behind after a 4 hr ride?
   --- My cylinder head blew off.  How do I fix the leak in the tank?
   --- My bike slows down when I step on the right pedal.
   --- Where do I put the gas?
   --- The trailer hitch won't fit
   --- My friends make fun of me for only having one piston

It is really easy to assume some sort of tone in cybercommunications.  Don't do that.  When you see something you are about to interpret as nasty, pretend you are having a beer with that guy, and he is saying whatever is saying with a twinkle in his eye.

I would have liked to have seen your original reply so I could make a judgement on it's appropriateness.
Also many many times I have seen multiple questions posted in a single thread. I can see no harm in it as long as the questions don't require a diagnosis, just basic information.
Even your "watered down" post seems a little heavy handed to me.
I'm sorry, I have to side with Hexnut on this one.

I’m with OF on this one.  None of his comments in this thread were at all nasty.  They simply addressed the subject(s) directly, which is the way it is supposed to be.

I also firmly support the idea that each thread should have but one subject.  When an original post is submitted to start a thread, it should deal with only one subject, and the title should be descriptive, accurate, and clear.  If this is not the case, a moderator should help the submitter tidy things up, or, if necessary, tidy them up.

hexnut - consider taking a break and staying with us - it's a great forum to learn and have fun with     I don't think Oldfeller was trying to be malicious   it's just his interpretation of the way things should be    in fact, a few days ago I responded to a post about "riding with the choke out"  because it reminded me of the time I did      Oldfeller stated that I was confused and hijacked this other guy's post   I didn't think either was the case - but I respected his opinion and his status as an elder(moderator)    and will try to adapt to the suggested methods   take a look at your post   it's you and me(1-star newbies) and a bunch of 5-star Generals  who have been around a long while  step back for a while and hang in there - it's a good site with a bunch of good people - including OF
