    Two Stroke Power Valves.

    Mine on the RZ sounded like a servo with cables. It only did it when I switched the key on. On my R1 this valve system is right before it breaks off into two underneath the seat. You cant hear it though, I hear if you go with another exh sys on these bike you have to toss the power valves...

    Printing ALL layouts

    I have found that I would have to go to each tab and set the layout, its pointless at that point I thought and gave up on the theroy. If I have to go to each sheet and set it up, why not just plot it too. Wait your on 2005, they use something called sheet sets now, and they dont call it batch...

    Two Stroke Power Valves.

    Will- you might want to check on the yamahas version the YPVS (i think) I had a RZ350 that had one of those and you could hear it when you switched the key. Its the same motor that is used in the popular banshees so I think you might be able to find a coulple of those around in parts to get a...

    Air Intake

    Also Patprimmer is right, increase in pressure is increase in temputure and then what is the point because you would have to back down the pressure to aviod detenation? I know its spelled wrong. Unless of course you plan on have a water injection system. There is a book out there called...

    Air Intake

    LQ- thats what these forums are for, finding answers. I heard from my engineering profs that "the difference in a smart man versus an intellegent man is the intellegent man knows where to get the answers" Keep plucking away, some of lifes greatest finds have been on accident. Alex

    AMD Athlon 64 vs Intel P-4

    I recently bought a laptop with the 64 bit AMD, and it ran real slow running autocad and inventor. So much that I too the laptop back, and got a similiar spec'd one with the P4 and it is a night and day difference. They both ran the ATI card. Then again I do a LOT of 3D design and assemblies...

    Addins for AutoCAD

    a lisp command is a simple way to do multi-functions in one step. you can get some amazing results, and with autocad being open architecture, there are hundreds of thousands of lisp programs floating around. Its quite easy to learn if you cant find one that is exactly what you want. To get...

    Can I print on 11x17 easily if created in 8.5x11

    if you wanted to print a "A" to a "B" size, scale to fit I would think would work if you choose 11X17 paper size on the printer setup in acad Alex

    Saveas to dated folder

    autocad has already quite a few of those scripts out for saving in older versions. about doing the dated folder you would have to some how find a way to get that information to the command line to use in a script. I dont think you can though.... Have you used the etransmit? It sends...
