Don't call me a fuckin liar and then cop out like this. You chimp. I backed my shit up. I proved you a lying ass internet bully with nothing more than a purpose to swing from nuts and badger people.

I think the fun of you has run its course. Good day.
You are the only one Trying to be a bully !! look at your posts ... you sir are a fucking idiot trying to blame people for your LAME acts !:tard:
 
I regularly run my tank down to the last flashing bar on the gauge.
Bike has 80,000+ on the clock.
Fuel pump hasnt died.
Its a B Model.
You're a moron.
 
You just make friends wherever you go don't you my12r?

That being said (and please don't misinterpret this as saying I like you because I don't - you are an asshole) many manufacturers state the fuel is a cooling agent for the in-tank fuel pumps. You are not stating anything here that is not common knowledge.

Where I do disagree with you is on the lots of zx-12r (or other sportbike) fuel pumps failing (low fuel user or not).

I know a LOT of sportbike riders and a LOT of zx-12r owners and I have never once heard of a fuel pump failing. Ever.

Na. I only make friends with the special ones. The rest just roll on about their way.

There are many threads here of failed pumps. Not hundreds, but at least 30~40. Most of these being B model 12's. The association is when I see multiple threads also about running the tank down to find out just how far you can stretch the tank. Seems there may be an issue here. And being in the automotive repair field, I have seen hundreds of failed fuel pumps, and the lot of these had fuel guages not on full when they failed (thank god). These folks also cringe when you tell them the cost of changing a pump. I know they are cheap people, but aren't we all in our own little ways. So I know for a FACT that fuel starvation in a fuel pump is going to lead to eventual burnout. Seen it. Pumps in cars and fuel injected bikes are the same thing. Stands to reason that the same can happen, and considering you lean a bike into corners and the pump is centered in the tank, you have low fuel, you could suck air.

I know fuel cools. That is what I was reminding people of before the monkey showed up. Was a simple question really, that actually, not one single person responded to. Can't says I blame them at this point. How many folks who have actually had a pump fail (by fail I don't mean always dead) also run their fuel down to nothing before they fill up? Was a simple question really, but then we had to dive into oil pans, buffers, filters, regulators, physics...the usual bullshit I deal with around here. No one could just let the thread roll. Tis the season.
 
The point you are missing (which is typical) is I am agreeing with you in that fuel cools the in-tank fuel pumps. Science 101.

Does it cause premature fuel pump failure if you run the tank dry over and over? I don't know because I don't know anybody who has had their pump fail. Get it? Never heard of a fuel pump failing on a 12, R1 or anything else except my ex-wifes POS '80 Chevy Monza and even THAT was not the fuel pump but the oil pressure sending unit that shut off the fuel pump when it "thought" the oil pressure was down.

It's like you are are looking for an argument here or trying to make what you are saying is groundbreaking knowledge (it ain't).

I ain't trying to break any ground. But alas, there are some who do not know these things that ride, and this is a global site. This information could save someone a headache. Someone who has a lesser technical knowledge. Instead, you would assume, because you are aware of technical things, that it is simply common knowledge. It's not. And with gas prices, more and more non technical people ride. Then, there is the sect that doesn't even look at these forums, but maybe google "fuel pump" and see this thread, and have an "ahHA" moment. Never know. But, some would just rather try and point out their nonsense instead of seeing past their own damn nose. Savvy?

Just because you yourself have not seen it, doesn't mean it ain't there. It just has not directly affected you. This is how other issues, and much more severe issues like history repeating itself, happen.
 
Anyways, you're wrong. Stop posting.
 
I ride mine down to the bar all the time... but thats becuase i like , ride my bike places and stuff... you know like out of state , over night... things like that...

Havent heard of many pump failures either, tho you are quick to advise guys to go out and by a fuel pump when you are giving out your sage like advise to poor guys here that likely just need a bank of plugs...

as for the rest of things , see below...



4. No. I never said NOT using a helmet was safer than using one. I said you can be just as safe without as you can with.

So, if you want to be holier than thou about helmets and jackets, you look silly.

I refuse to encourage a falsity that helmets are some kind of miracle thing that crates a bubble of safety that folks seem to think they are.



4. I also said that I knew a couple people who were killed in motorcycle accidents because of their helmets.
Yea, you said you saw 4 people die because they were wearing helmets...


I called you a fucking liar...

So per the previous requests... please go play an nice long game of ' hide and go fuck yourself' :thumbup::thumbup:
 
If the guy had a brain JH, he would be dangerous.

Fortunately anybody that reads 5 minutes of his blathering knows he is a dumb fuck and hopefully just takes his posts for what they are - humor. :)

What does it make you? I am quoting folks who dedicate their lives to a particular science. You yourself said that science is never wrong. When I find and quote "science" that contradicts your theories, you start calling names. That is a defensive postition. Occasionally, I like to fuck with people and fire back a few names and pokes, but, most of the time, I just laugh at you. It says a lot that you even feel the need to comment on it if you really feel that way. The reason you pay it more than a second of thought is because you regard my stance and opinions as valid. This is psychology 101. You have no other reason.

Your demeanor in all of these threads says more about yourself than your derogatory remarks aimed at me. I didn't pull this shit out of my own mind. Someone else did. Someone far smarter than myself, and I'm quite sure, yourself.

Again, if you think you know better than an entire globe of engineers, then by all means, keep on keepin on. You know better. They world is wrong, and you're right.

But....you did say science is never wrong tho, yet, you keep saying science is wrong.....which is it?

I think his true intelligence isn't being fairly represented. I mean, he admitted himself that he is basically a psychologist AND a medical doctor , but he decided to live the incognito life of being a turd grease monkey for 30 years doing oil changes instead. That's really genius, to be able to hide yourself for that long. Who knows how troublesome his life would have been if he followed through as a doctor.

No, I never said that I was MD or a psychologist. I study both. In my spare time.

I like machines. Whenther biological, mechanical, electrical or any other machine type. I don't focus my attention on just one thing in life. I study whatever catches my fancy. In my youth, gear heads and computer technology, were the influence. In my teen years, psychology and biology were introduced via science class, and were pretty neat. Early adulthood, well, it seemed pretty much a slam dunk that I would just wrench on shit for a living, no matter what it was, boats, cars, bikes, trucks...whatever. Have supported myself quite comfortably with that. It has afforded me the ability to amass a very large library of volumes some of you would sweat just reading the cover of. As things pass by, if I want to learn about it, I do. Unlike some here, I don't lock myself into my own bullshit ways of thinking, and actually research what people smarter than me, people who make their living doing the stuff, are saying about things. This is how we learn. Ignorance is digging your heels in the dirt, refusing to learn. Refusing to grow. Whether out of habit or spite, it is of no concern. Why dedicate yourself to just one task in life. It can be a good way I suppose to master a single task. It wouldn't be a wasted life. Perhaps that wss your intent before you came into this life. I prefer to know something a bout a lot of things, instead of trying to know everything about a few things. Machines fascinate me tho. From the largest of ships, to the smallest of nano tech. We are all organic machines, as is all forms of life.

In order to really understand how anything works in this world, you have to at least have a toe in physics. Everything is bound by rules. Laws that cannot be broken. But even now, science is learning that maybe even those rules, well, have a bit of flexibility. New frontiers await.

Intelligence is not knowing big words. Intelligence is understanding. Words are just used to communicate ideas. If you can't understand the ideas, the words are useless. I don't use a lot of big words just because of this. Not everyone communicates on those levels. Keep it simple stupid. This way, the seeds of inspiration may land on many a firtile field and grow. Some of them seeds may even make their way back and educate the source. It's how it works boys and girls (and monkey).

Break out of the mold. Form your own thoughts. Don't be afraid to be wrong. Don't always assume you're right. If you really believe in something, then stick with it, no matter what. If evidence arrises that indicates you may need to revise your stance, use it. Learn from it. If your stance stands without contradiction, stick to your guns. Ignorance is the poverty of life. It destroys more than it saves.

:thumbup:
 
Your 'know it all' posts amuse me, does not mean I like you.
You're only ignoring us because you cant handle the truth.
