My name is Shervin Rezaiy. I am studing Mechanical Engineering. My goal is to make a car (or any kind of vichle) which works with gravity. i plan to find a way to change the gravity energy to mechanical energy and make an auto mobil by it and start manufactring it so all people in the world can enjoy it. If i do that i will be happy of my life. This is my goal since i was 15 years old. I came out of my country to countinue my education in higher level. I got my AA in " Mathemathic Siences" from my country but for religon/political reason the goverment of my country does not allow me to study in university. however i got some other diplomas in computer,typing, automechanic, Karate,etc.... I can open a mechanic shop legally right now because i have the certification for it. I was in an "auto mechanic" training class which was very helpful. I got the highest grade in the whole city (congradulation!!) My father has a dealership who sells truck engines and i was learning/helping him since i was 7 just by the time that he purchased his first engines to start his businiess. I lived in Europe for a while. Beautiful place. I miss every thing from Europe. Majority People were polite and civilized. full of history and science. Regardless of your gender,age,race,location,etc... if you are polite, oriented, and civilized I would like to hear from you if you do something positive. Also if you have any questions about anything in the world ask me I will try to answer you. I am looking for peace,love,friendship,and discovering this wonderful life and the world around us and inside us and above us; There is sooo much to discover.

Shervin is my favorite:

quote:

However, since i did not take out the fork oil, rear suspention oil, tires's air,

quote:

For example, the upper head cover has a rectangle shape and instead fastening to the head with 8bolt, it gets fasten with 6bolts. The purpose of this head cover is to protect the engine parts and keep the oil inside. To give you a good understanding of what i am talking about, imagine you have a rectangle that the length of its length is 3times longer than the length of its width! so you can make 3 equal squre if you divide the length sides into3 equal pieces. Now, if you design the 3 equal squares inside the rectangle and dot the edges of each square, you will have 8 different points on the rectangle perimeter; The head cover of the 2005 Kawasaki zx-10r has a rectangle similar to the one i just told you and the 8 edges of the squares are not hard to find; However, Kawasaki only made holes on 6 spot and 2 spots have not been drilled. As you know, the first and most important duty of a head cover is to keep to oil inside and with having 2 points free from fastening of course the oil is going to leak from those 2 points! Therefore, ALL of the 2004 and 2005 Kawasakies ZX-10R around the world has oil leaking problem from under the head cover which make the engine, the whole bike, and its rider messy and dirty!

EVERY ZX10R IS LEAKING OIL

quote:

1. The bike look. Even though Kawasaki name this a Ninja and defention of a Ninja is a warrior who is wild and brave and bold, the bike has a smooth design and curves specially on the front lights which makes the bike viewer in more relaxing mode.

the GT750s were pretty cool. Liquid cooled anything was rare in the 70's in the bike world, let alone a liquid cooled 2-stroke. They were deceptively quick. More so with a pipe or three.

Hurrr!! Mine isn't an XL. My brains aren't THAT big, come on. I put on a million different helmets and this one felt the best; snug, but not too snug. Doesn't move around my head. Cinches up but doesn't prevent me from moving around.

It does look really large on me though :( I suppose I could start looking for a different one...

Some (a lot?) models have more than one shell size, especially higher end ones. They mitigate the need for more padding on smaller heads like mine, but they won't ever not look too big for a person. that's helmets for ya.

I wouldn't worry about it. I look the same in my RF-1100 except I hide behind a mirrored visor. Skinny small body frame + large looking helmet = Viewtiful Joe look alike. People are going to be distracted by your smiling and having fun on the bike to notice. If it's too much of a bother, Arai makes a pretty small helmet i think? Probably my next helmet upgrade.

Shell looks huge, is all...if you can't grab the chinbar and wiggle the helmet from side to side without it moving your head as well, then you're fine. If it moves independently of your head more than a little bit, it's too big.

The shock needs to be mounted more horizontal, I'd put the (bike side) mount to the center of that rear engine mount as that swingarm is going to compress in all the wrong ways. As well as tucking the engine up more, you could simply make it larger.

Also: I think it would look rad with air cooling, but that's a serious design choice to make.

Edit: Tit-to-arse ratio is perfect though.
