Qualifications: Previous bikes o Yamaha SR 500 (640cc single) o BSA 650 twin (punched to 750cc) 1/2 mile bikes o Suzuki 500 (two-stroke) Road-racing bikes o Harley 750cc 1/2 mile flat-track bike o Kawasaki 550 (Lets pretend we have a two-stroke power-band, ie 8200 rpm horsepower peak?) o Various two-stroke motorcross bikes Also Road in the Baja 500 on a modified (we used the engine) Yamaha 350 Twin (circa 1975). Suggestions: The only thing that has consistantly worked for high-speed vibration (two-strokes and small multi's) and low-speed vibration (harleys and old Beesers) is the following routine. 1. Jucuzzi or whirlpool the effected area. 2. Drink a moderate to slightly excessive amount of alcohol (drink till the tingling is in your ears, not your limbs). 3. Massage said effected areas. 4. Take asprian, and get some sleep. Note: It is importent to follow the excact order of treatments to achieve the desired results (i.e. if Step 2 is preformed before Step 1, the other steps may become acedemic because of your subsequent drowning). Seriously, if the jacuzzi and massaging is done twice a day, the nerve problems should subside within two or three days. unreachable as fluke!nxs Bruce Golub John Fluke Mfg. Co., Inc.
