Bike Problems ? Read This First Please !!

GREENISBEST · 09-03-2007

SO OFTEN FORUM MEMBERS NORMALLY NEWCOMMERS ASK FOR ASSISTANCE WITH REGARDS TO A PROBLEM THEY ARE EXPERIANCING WITH THERE MACHINE AND WHILST WE ENDEVOUR TO HELP OUT IT BECOMES VERY FRUSTRATING THE LACK OF INFORMATION GIVEN IN THE INITIAL POST...

I READ EARLIER FROM StarGate IN ONE SUCH POST......

No one here can hear, see, smell, or feel what you do being there with the bike, so you have to be that link.

I READ THAT AND THOUGHT HOW APPROPRIATE TO THIS SITUATION !!!

SO PLEASE HELP US HELP YOU BY GIVING AS MUCH DETAIL IN YOU INITIAL POST.

I WOULD GO AS FAR TO SAY THAT THERE ARE OCCASIONS WHEN SOME FORUM MEMBERS WILL NOT ADVISE OTHERS THROUGH THIS LACK OF INFO..

Eg:-
~ Make, Model, Year, Milage.
~ How long you've owned the machine.
~ Events leading up to your problem.
~ Anything you OR others have done to rectify the problem.

Oh and a DMM (Digital Multi Meter) is a godsend for Diagnostics so it's worth investing in one..

DON'T BE OFFENDED, BE FORTHCOMING

THANKS FOR THE STICKY TOD

Excellent post and advice, GREEN.

We on this forum are truly blessed to have you and Zed and a few others that really know your shtuff so it makes sense to be thorough when asking for a diagnosis, prognosis or any other kind of gnosis.

But it lowers my post count. It's my official job to ask what year/make/model they have!

And Greenisbest can't put his great pics up!

Greenisbest I had you reply to a question I had regarding air filter replacement foe my 06 zx 10. I got the info you sent me but had to unfortunately reload windows on my computer and have lost the info you sent. It was relly helpful and I would really appreciate it if you could send again and this time I will back up and save the info. Thanks again..
