    No cracked head look in the coolant galley. You should be able to see it.

    Why do I question your mechanical skills, with the only tool in the pics being a big hammer?

    I guess it depends on the size of the hammer.


    Was this in the 650?

    Trev, when are you installing the new one? Or do you have a new one yet?

    We're just all so proud of you for spelling hammer correctly!

    I can make any bike keep up with a Kawi, just tie a large boat anchor to it. Normnally I would say tie the Kawi to it, as "boat anchor" and "Kawi" are interchangable terms, but in this case it would defeat the purpose, as the bike would then pull the Kawi along like a stubborn puppy, except faster.

    That's easy... pick the one YOU like and tell everyone else to piss off!

    just becuase some one is responsible with a kid doesn't always mean they can handle working with tools. LOL look at me I'm a great mom but give me a tool and watch out! I think I will leave any future car/motorcycle work to professionals. LOL

    Have fun though.

    Its really a Ford V Chevy kinda aurgument, its just fun to talk trash. Motorcycle and indeed motorcycling can be rationalized in a logical sense, but the pursuit is really an emotional one. So as it has been said before, get the bike that gets your blood pumping
