I'm calling all of you out

[anesthesia]

Since I've recently had some problems with my bike, I've come on here looking for help and trying to interpret my Clymer manual. Well, tonight I got out my owners manual and browsed thru it.

Now since coming here, I've done a lot to my bike, most of the stuff I've learned from this board and some I've figured out myself. Anyway I've done a lot of mods.

I'm looking thru the owners manual and one of the first things I read is:

We strongly advise you not to remove any original equipment or modify your motorcycle in any way that would change its design or operation. Such changes could seriously impair your motorcycle's handling, stability and braking, making it unsafe to ride.

Thanks a lot guys, now my motorcycle is most likely unsafe, according to Honda.

Then, I'm looking at the trouble shooting part and under 'If your engine quits or won't start' it says:
runs erratically, misfires--See your Honda Dealer
Blubbers (rich fuel mixture)--See your Honda Dealer

So basically, I've been fooling around with my bike to try and get it to run right and I had no business doing this. I'm obviously not qualified.

Under 'If you have a flat tire', it says this:

We recommend wheel removal be done only by your Honda dealer or another qualified mechanic. Do not attempt to remove the wheel on your own. Wheel removal requires mechanical skill and professional tools.

I've removed both of my wheels, but I don't think I'm a 'qualified mechanic'. Plus, I have tools, but not sure if they're 'professional' tools.

Again, thanks a lot guys. I've most likely totally screwed my bike up

lol SHIT!! hind sight.

[tonefight]

So you're saying I voided my warranty huh ?


Well of course Honda wants you to run back and give the dealer all your money, besides we know there are people out there that could screw up a wet dream and then turn around and sue the sandman right ? So if honda tell that person how to work on their bike and they screw it up and hurt themselves Honda would have to shell out a kazillion dollar law suite.

Maybe this site needs a disclaimer ?

Not only did you void your warranty, but you've probably screwed your bike up like mine is as well as pretty much every one on this board. I would suggest going back and buying a brand new one and following all of their instructions.

Let this be a lesson to us all.

Yeah well, I better not show this thread to my wife.

Sorry but that is the stupidest shit I have ever heard!!!!

The owners manual says that so you will ALWAYS take your bike to the dealer.. Almost anyone who buys a motorcycle or ATV modifys it PERIOD!!!

The dealer just want you to modify it through them so they can make you pay up the ass!!

The part about removing your wheels, thats easy they just dont want you replacing the tire by yourself and buying tire irons and trying using them and slapping yourself in the head..

Modding your bike is what bike are all about! If you think you were wrong on comming here and getting wrong info then your even a bigger idiot. Go buy a new bike and stay the fuck sway from here...

Have a nice day!

DUDE, you for real ????

Your right sorry I tried to help the moron out on how to get a clue but that isnt happening and what worse he has a nuthanger...

Sorry my bad!

[anesthesia]

WOW! Let it go ACE, it was just a dumb joke. Are you just embarassed that you were the only one that didn't pick up on it?

Trust me, I'm not the moron, here. I'm only guilty of making a silly joke. If you want something funnier, I've got tons of stuff, of course I'll probably have to explain the punchline so you'll get it.

[PatsAce]

Im cool next time put it in the joke section where it should be and if you cant find it im sure your nuthugger friend will help you.

Peace.................

[mrkuyukot]

:curtain: ahem, we're alright now right? Is it safe to come out? Maybe this'll lighten up the mood eh? :melvin:

[calicruiser]

knock knock douchebag.

[PatsAce]

knock knock douchebag.

LOL what a tool!

[mcvierh]

JOKE..Joke..my left nut, that was def some serious Claymor/ Owners Manual shit there...Duhhh how many sparks does my SS have, accordin' to the Claymor/Owners manual "2"...what joke?, that shit ain't funny., It's serious.

[anesthesia]

Im cool next time put it in the joke section where it should be and if you cant find it im sure your nuthugger friend will help you.

Peace.................
Ok, first off, yes it was a joke, but it obviously was one related specifically to the HONDA SHADOW OWNERS MANUAL, and more specifically to WORKING ON AND MODIFYING THE BIKE YOURSELF. That is pretty much why we're all here, which is why I posted it somewhere OTHER than the joke forum.

When I come up with a killer knock knock joke, I'll make sure and put it in the joke section. Otherwise, most of the funny jokes I know involve my dead mom, my dead grandma, pedophilia, rape and other things that the majority can't find humor in. So I'll just leave that stuff be.

BTW, I have no friends and I'm guessing that a nuthugger is some kind of underwear, I don't wear any, so don't accuse me of that.

Now let's just let this thread be and get buried in the back pages.
