hard cold starting on '08 klrs

[fasteddiecopeman]

A fellow up here in Alberta's been 'moving mountains' to get his non-starting '08 fixed. Here's a para from a post he just did about the problem AND its fix: The issue is with the exhaust decompression lever working too well therby robbing the engine of compression on cold starts. It can be tested for by doing a simple compression test. If its too low as per Kawi standards the Decomp lever is your problem. Don't trust your dealer to contact Kawi Canada. It helps to call Kawi Canada and get them to work with your dealer to fix your bike. It lets them know you mean business and are not going to be brushed off with a simple excuse. If someone needs the VIN off of my bike to quote a repair to Kawi PM me. Somehow I doubt they are going to forget my bike for awhile. Cheers, Ed

Folks, I am need of a contact with a background in silicone - specific to a liquid injection process & factors such as environmental temperature, durometer & resistance to common household/DIY lubricants. I am researching material choice for a consumer product that has the latter 3 factors directly influential to its success and presumably will be produced using a liquid injection process. I am not an engineer & this product is very low-tech so I don't expect to have 'Stephan Hawking' level discussions. Just looking for some suggestions on material choices... Thanks in advance, John _________________________________________________________________ Climb to the top of the charts!

Hey John, I remember being told I could use silicone (and I mean the regular in a tube caulking stuff) for an application that was in my fire-place insert. And I mean inside the fire box where it would be exposed to full heat of the fire. So I have always thought silicone must be a very heat resistant material. My thoughts for what it is worth...

So, what kind of dildos are you planning to make? Are you going to be putting vibrators in them or just simple ones? Al A13 IA John Thompson wrote:
