like the movie, that's dandy, but with all due respect, if you can't "get" why others

Where the hell is the insult or belittling coming from? What on earth is insulting about what I said? I said I don't get the hatred from it and you respond like I insulted your mother! Talk about an over-reaction. I didn't insult anyone and I've never suggested that anyone is in any way unreasonable for disliking it. But apparently I'm either belitting people or I'm severely intellectually challenged for liking it. Nice.
Get a fucking grip. It's a fucking movie and we're talking about differing tastes. I've never seen a more ridiculous response on the BBS than yours and there has been some serious competition over the years. The most generous thing I can say, allowing for the fact that it's Christmas, is that you have a seriously different meaning for the word 'gotten' than I have.
Edit - Oh, and I see that

Incredible Hulk Movie Reviews
Incredible Hulk
Release Date: Jun 13, 2008
Genre: Action/AdventureSciFi/Fantasy
Rating: (PG-13)
User reviews on Incredible Hulk
this is the best superhero movie i ever seen i watched it 2 times and the end is just so sweet i love this movie u have to see it!!1 5 stars
This version of the Hulk is much better than the first. The actors, the story line and pace far exceeded my expectation (since I came in with very low expectations after seeing the first version). If you like the comic book...you'll love this movie!
Okay not worth 20 bucks but it was good. My boyfriend fell asleep after the first 30 min. But I wish I would have waited till DVD could have bought them shoes.
I thought The Incredible Hulk was quite good actully. I saw it at midnight. I am not a big fan of hulk myself but this one was better than the first one. I give The Incredible Hulk 5 stars.
The Incredible Hulk was cool.It was better than the first one. In the first one I could not hear them talk very good but in the sencond one I could hear them. It was 100 percent better than the first one.
Well, I can see why they called it The Incredible Hulk because it was incredible. I dont see why y'all are giving it a hard time. If you compare it to the 2003 Hulk movie, This movie was way better. The first one was stupid and poorly done, but this one just blew me away. It's action packed, great special effects,and the acting was astounding. Edward Norton played his character well as did Liv Tyler, William Hurt, and Tim Roth. Tim Roth was an excellent villian. The chemistry between Edward and Liv was so good. They are one of the best superhero couples I've have ever seen. I'm glad that Robert Downey Jr. made an appearance because I like him. This movie made my day. I would definitely see this movie again in theaters.This movie was awesome.
P.S . Ok, I don't get how to do the stars thing. I want to give it 5 but if I don't then ignore it. 5 stars. no less.
I thought the hulk was realy good much much much better than the first one. I liked the battles in the movie. It was so so funny when they went in the cab.
This movie should be renamed to "The Incredible Bore." It was ok, but Ironman was way more fun than this. I say wait for DVD, you won't miss anything.
great movie. Was just as good as ironman2. lots of action. i love how they brought Tony Starks into the movie at the end i look forward to ironman2 or hulk 2.

I enjoy my life, and the only condition I would be willing to share it with someone else is if they enjoyed it too. :)
My closest friend would describe me as fun, sincere, intelligent, competitive, and a sensitive loving person who has an amazing ability to see the good in people even when they can not see it themselves. What makes me smile is the act of true appreciation and/or humility. I am grateful for the majority of experiences I've had in my life because I believe they have contributed to the person I am today. I'd like to attract a person who is aware of who there and is confident with what they know about themselves. I also would like them to be willing to explore more about themselves if need be. My social life is simple, and probably limited due to the fact I do not drink alcohol; therefore, I don't socialize to often where the common interest is getting intoxicated. I do love to dance and play sports! Reality shows make me laugh out loud, and when someone makes an honest mistake and they can laugh at themselves that usually cracks me up. I will laugh with you but not at you and I'd like you to do the same with me. Having the ability to laugh at yourself is a bonus and shows you are human. I love observing different cultures, music, moonlight, boating, sun bathing, Italian food, shopping, snowboarding, skiing, power walking and yoga. I experience comfort as a witness to people succeeding in life in spite of the challenges they may face. I have passion for life its self plus I happen to believe we all need to experience passion at one time or another to feel alive. :)

Lean Angle Jeans - Finally protective jeans I would wear!

Joined: Apr 2008
Location: Californicator
Oddometer: 1,013
Mine arrived today...
My jeans arrived today so here is part one of my review of them.
The armor. This stuff is Forcefield so you know it's good. These pieces are triple layered and the knee armor pieces are stitched down the middle to hold it together. The hip armor is glued at the center. With both sets as you can see, the layers are able to move and flex. Hip pieces are marked left and right.
You get a couple of decals with your jeans.
The jeans. (ignore the color of the first photo of the jeans, I had the camera set to vivid color)
These are heavy! I was kinda surprised actually at the weight of them when I lifted them out of the box but I guess when you consider that there are the jeans, a layer of Kevlar and a layer of sport mesh then it makes sense.
I ordered the darker blue color.
Everything is well stitched together and the inner mesh feels nice.
Nice small touch.
The hip pocket opens at the center, and is held together with velcro.
The armor sits in the pocket nice and snug and does not move around a lot, ie: there isn't an excess of pocket for it to do so like some other brands. Even with the armor in everything sits snug and flat.
The knee armor feeds into it's pocket from the bottom and is easy to place. I just held my hand against it while feeding it in to stop the velcro from attaching itself prematurely, then laid it where i thought it should go and closed the bottom of the pocket with its velcro closure.
As to the sizing, well due to a mix up I got a size 36 instead of my 32's that I ordered so these are going back and my new ones will be on the way tomorrow. Part two of my review will be a few days away.

Durham pot-bust rate below average, paper finds
National statistics indicate police and sheriff's deputies in Durham County arrested people for marijuana possession in 2012 less frequently than was the norm elsewhere in the country or even in North Carolina.
Durham law enforcement recorded about 153 possession arrests per 100,000 residents, less than the national average of about 198 arrests per 100,000, according to an analysis by the Washington Post.
The Durham arrest rate was lower than that of many of the state's urban counties.
Authorities in neighboring Wake Country recorded about 210 pot-possession arrests per 100,000 residents.
In Mecklenburg County, home to Charlotte, the state's largest city, authorities made nearly 244 possession arrests per 100,000 residents.
Arrests rates were even higher in Forsyth and Guilford counties, home respectively to Winston-Salem and Greensboro, cities Durham officials deem among those most comparable to their own.
Law enforcement in Forsyth County recorded about 435 possession arrests per 100,000 residents, and their counterparts in Guilford booked more than 637 per 100,000.
Among Durham's near-peers, only Cumberland County recorded a significantly lower pot-possession arrest rate. Authorities in Fayetteville and other Cumberland communities recorded about 97 arrests per 100,000 residents in 2012.
Despite the figures, Durham's city government faces pressure from interest groups like the Southern Coalition for Social Justice and the FADE Coalition to declare marijuana possession its lowest law-enforcement priority.
The groups singled out Durham because "we're responsive to members of the communities that bring issues to us," said Daryl Atkinson, a lawyer and Southern Coalition staffer.
He acknowledged that the groups haven't mounted similar campaigns in Wake, Mecklenburg, Forsyth or Guilford counties.
Those are "not communities that we have strong partnerships with," Atkinson said, adding that the groups "haven't received" from them the same sort of complaints about excessive or racially disparate enforcement.
Atkinson added that the main concern remains that it appears Durham authorities arrest blacks more frequently for marijuana possession than they do whites. He noted the Washington Post analysis shed no light on that question, locally or nationally.
It did, however, make it clear what low-priority enforcement means.
In the continental United States, California and Massachusetts stood out for their low arrest rates, police and deputies in California's Los Angeles County for example making a bit less than 25 possession busts per 100,000 residents.
California's legislature voted in 2010 to make possession only a civil infraction, rather than a misdemeanor criminal offense. Decrimalization advocacy groups like NORML – that National Organization for the Reform of Marijuana Laws – say the decision encouraged law-enforcement agencies to direct their attention elsewhere.
At the other end of the spectrum, New York state looked like the marijuana-arrest capital of the United States. Most of its counties recorded arrest rates like those of Forsyth and Guilford counties, that would be atypically high for North Carolina.
For instance, Albany County, home to New York's state capital, saw about 446 possession arrests per 100,000 residents in 2012. New York County – Manhattan Island, the business center of New York City – saw about 804 arrests per 100,000 residents.
In Durham, City Manager Tom Bonfield is still weighing a package of recommendations the Human Relations Commission and the Civilian Police Review Board submitted in response to requests from the Southern Coalition and FADE.
The Human Relations Commission stopped short of endorsement the marijuana-enforcement-as-the-lowest priority idea, but said officials should study the example of other communities.
Bonfield has promised the City Council a report later this month.

Originally written on AFC East Daily | Last updated 12/8/12
Lead writer Nick St. Denis and AFC East Daily contributors Dan Begnoche and Sean Donovan pick the Buffalo Bills' contest with the visiting NFC's St. Louis Rams. Nick's take: Only two quarterbacks have been sacked more times than Sam Bradford, so the Bills' Mario Williams-led front-seven, despite missing Chris Kelsay, should have plenty of opportunities to get into the backfield. On the other side, St. Louis uses a pretty stout rotation of defensive linemen to keep fresh for the pass rush, so that could pose issues for the Bills' makeshift offensive line. Home-weather advantage is the difference. Prediction: Bills 21, Rams 20 (Nick's record: 29-9) Dan's take:The Bills' rushing attack is hitting its peak, right as the Rams' rush defense has hit rock bottom. Buffalo has seen some fairly significant players on both sides of the ball go down this week, but its offense will be too potent to let it show. Look for a heavy dose of the dynamic tailback duo, along with another impressive pass ...

Building a Better Pipeline to the Principalship: The SABLE Story
Duration: 10:50
Program: POV #2211
Collection: The Principal Story
Urban superintendents are struggling to find enough effective principals and other leaders to staff schools in their districts. More principals are eligible to retire each year, and there are few qualified candidates in the pipeline to replace them. How can super-intendents address a leadership crisis in their districts? Every public school system presents distinct challenges, needs and reform priorities for school leaders. The crucial question is not just how can we train future leaders, but how can we train leaders that will succeed in specific school environments and be part of a sustainable reform effort.
In response to a shortage of qualified leaders, the Atlanta Public Schools developed the Superintendent's Academy for Building Leaders in Education (SABLE), which prepares aspiring principals with the specific standards, core values, knowledge and skills required to lead the district's schools. This video vignette looks at SABLE through the experiences of participants, district leaders and graduates, and demonstrates the benefits it has brought to the district.
THE PRINCIPAL STORY follows the journey of two elementary school principals throughout a school year as they strive to improve student achievement and implement school reform. Featured are novice principal Tresa D. Dunbar of the Henry H. Nash Elementary School in Chicago and veteran principal Kerry Purcell of Harvard Park Elementary School in Springfield, Ill. Their stories unfold in an hour-long documentary film that illustrates the struggles and successes these leaders encounter. In addition, a 23-minute clip reel, available on the film's supplemental outreach DVD and website, draws from the documentary to highlight four themes critical to effective school leadership:
1. Stewardship of a vision;
2. Leading instructional improvement;
3. Creating the instructional environment; and
4. Holding people accountable.

The autopsy of John Travolta's 16 year old son Jett Travolta is officially complete. And preliminarily reports confirm that there was "no foul play."
Two doctors conducted the autopsy this morning, including a U.S.-certified pathologist, who flew in to the Bahamas just for this. The Travolta family doctor was also present.
"It is not a suspicious death. The body wouldn't already be turned over to the mortuary if there was anything suspicious," a source close to the investigation told E! news.
Jett suffered a seizure while vacationing with his family in the Bahamas over the holiday. He reported hit his head on a bathtub and was pronounced dead at the hospital.
Travolta and his wife Kelly Preston posted a statement on John's official website thanking fans for their support and condolences.
"We would like to extend our deepest and most heartfelt thanks to everyone who has sent their love and condolences.
"Jett was the most wonderful son that two parents could ever ask for and lit up the lives of everyone he encountered. We are heartbroken that our time with him was so brief. We will cherish the time we had with him for the rest of our lives," said John Travolta and Kelly Preston.
Such a tragic start to a New Year. We can't even imagine the grief they're going through right now.
Jett's body is currently at Grand Bahama's Restview Memorial Mortuary and Crematorium, waiting to be transported back to their family home in Florida. A press conference is expected later this afternoon, so stay tuned for more details!
According to the death certificate that was issued today, Jett, who had a history of health problems, was killed by a "seizure." Because there was no foul play, the body will be released to the Travolta family today.

Battle Creek, MI (PRWEB) June 04, 2014
In its new blog post, A Forever Recovery, an open-ended drug and alcohol treatment program that gets clients off to a great start and gives them a solid foundation in recovery they can believe in, is offering some essential advice on how to convince an addict to seek help.
"Words can't describe how difficult it can be to get an addict to even consider seeking help, let alone convincing them that it's the right – and frankly, only – thing they can do to reclaim their life and avoid a downward spiral that typically ends in hospitalization or death," commented A Forever Recovery's CEO Per Wickstrom. "However, despite the difficulty involved, family members, friends and other loved ones can dramatically increase the odds if they follow the advice in our latest blog."
According to the latest A Forever Recovery blog post, the best ways to convince an addict to seek help include:
The full text of A Forever Recovery's latest blog post entitled, "The Importance of a Strong Support System During Recovery" is available at http://aforeverrecovery.com/blog/addiction/convince-an-addict-to-seek-help/.
About A Forever Recovery
A Forever Recovery program is an open-ended drug and alcohol treatment program that gets clients off to a great start and gives them a solid foundation in recovery they can believe in. Not every treatment methodology works for every client. Some people are very receptive to 12-step principles, whereas others are more comfortable with faith-based treatment. Cognitive approaches have excellent success, whereas others thrive within a more holistic approach. A Forever Recovery allows clients to choose from a wide range of recovery methodologies, coupled with Moral Recognition Therapy (MRT), to achieve success rates unmatched in the addiction treatment industry. The bottom line is that there is no single therapeutic approach to recovery that works for everyone… until now.

Before he left on the Columbia shuttle mission last month, Michael P. Anderson had a talk with his pastor, the Rev. Freeman Simmons. On Sunday, congregants at Morning Star Missionary Baptist Church in Spokane, Wash., learned of their conversation.
"Don't worry if I'm not coming back," Simmons said Anderson told him. "I'm just going higher." For two hours this Sunday, the yellow clapboard church where Anderson grew in his faith was full of electric organ and hearty gospel singing as members worked through their grief at the loss of a son of the congregation. A robed choir sang gospel music, accompanied by organ and drums. A gospel choir brought the mostly black congregation to its feet with a rousing "Amazing Grace." The church bulletin bore a picture of Anderson in his NASA jumpsuit, an American flag and the space shuttle.
Anderson's parents, Bobbie and Barbara Anderson, were making plans to travel to Houston for a memorial service. "I can feel sure that, by him being a Christian man, he is in a better place than where he would be on Earth," Anderson said.
At the church, Rev. John Claiborne, another of the church's pastors, prayed: "We thank God for Michael because he died doing what he loved. I will that each of us could live a life like he did. Just yesterday, a tragedy came, but, Lord, we know that you have all power on Heaven and Earth.Don't let their lives be in vain. We pray now that some life will be changed. Someone will realize that there's more to life than right now."
Like many memorial services in African-American Baptist churches, the mood was exuberant. One member, Joan Johnson, explained it this way: "It's not ever sad here. We know Michael is with the Lord," she said. "It's like a home-going."

Kalpana Chawla — Hindu
"The first view of the Earth is magical. … in such a small planet, with such a small ribbon of life, so much goes on. It is as if the whole place is sacred. You get the feeling that I need to work extraordinarily hard along with other human beings to respect that," said astronaut Kalpana Chawla in a 1998 interview.
The 41-year-old Indian-American's sentiments about Earth's fragility — along with her achievements — resonated with people across the world.
A vegetarian who requested a Ravi Shankar raga (song) to be played during her first shuttle flight, Dr. Chawla rarely spoke about her beliefs. Of Sikh heritage, she could be seen at Hindu temples in California's Bay Area and in Houston, and maintained ties with Karnal, the conservative small town in northern India where she grew up. (In northern India, Sikhs and Hindus share many customs.) In a 1997 Hinduism Today interview, her statement — "Do something because you really want to do it. If you're doing it just for the goal, and don't enjoy the path, then I think you're cheating yourself" — echoes a guiding principle of the Hindu scripture the Bhagavad Gita — "Work, but work for the work's sake only. You have no right to the fruits of your labor."

Comment posted New local leader, Roddy McCuish, says SNP has moved from protest to progress by Ken MacColl.
Are Simple Simon and Simon related?
They seem to have a common predilection for passing on other commentators opinions of what Michael Russell stands for.
Ken MacColl also commented
- Robert,
Without the focus of "party" politics there is little prospect of the present "non-political" administration at Kilmory being replaced.
The late Oliver Brown declared that his party started to go downhill when someone joined it as he then had to copromise on his principles.
Sometimes a corrective word requires to be applied to the likes of the indignant and forgetful Gus MacKay who does not know me from Adam yet feels free to make judgements about my attitudes -quite incorrectly as it happens.
I am not bovvered, as some say!
Those who know me will know me.
At a hustings event prior to the last election it emerged that three of the four candidates for Argyll & Bute were English born.I am happy to report that one of them won by a mile!
Anyone interested in the media knows that Murdoch is only interested in selling newspapers and making money – a bit like Tony Blair. The Sunday Times and The Times are certainly not sympathetic to the present Scottish government.
- But you do not appear to have any problem with Labour
spin doctoring. I noticed last week that Labour were creating a great fuss up here about the First Minister's public meetings with Rupert Murdoch but conveniently overlooked the frequent back door visits that took place with Tony Blair -and with Mrs Thatcher. Similarly it is not generally known that the English version of the Sunday Sun's launch edition carried a column from Mrs Ed Balls -Yvette Cooper, MP – while Scottish Labour sources were attacking the Scottish edition.
- Gone all quiet all of a sudden.
Recent comments by Ken MacColl
- Alex due another delicious spanking from Nicola
How sad to see that what started some years ago as an informative and sometimes challenging website has descended to this juvenile level of political commentary.
Carries a distinct whiff of the Daily Mail.
Certainly has no connection to the late and great Spike Milligan.
"For Argyll?" In your dreams!
- Scotland's Big Voice and the 'One Vote' fight for the Union
I met a colleague in Oban this morning who advised me that the SNP had won three by elections on Thursday of this week. I knew that those contests were being held but had heard nothing in the morning news bulletins so I asked him where he had the information from.
"Oh" he replied, " I have not yet confirmed the news but I knew that as BBC Scotland had not announced the results or even put them on their website they could only be positive for the nationalists."
And so it proved, with substantial wins in Buckie, Glenrothes and Armadale.
- Scotland's Big Voice and the 'One Vote' fight for the Union
Just for the record, Plugit, Alex is of average height and he has an Honours degree in History.
Apart from that I imagine the rest of your comment is accurate.
- Scotland's Big Voice and the 'One Vote' fight for the Union
Never got to Vienna, Graeme, although I get the impression that there is a capital much closer to us that still carries delusions of empirical superiority exemplified by the idea that we are better together but we should not get notions above our station.
- Scotland's Big Voice and the 'One Vote' fight for the Union
This odd "wheel of (mis) Fortune" appeared first in the columns of the March Scots Independent late in February but attracted little attention at the time from our Unionist Press although it was also published in The National. News seems to come late to some parts of Argyll!
The wheel and its recommendations come from ScotLab activist Robert MacNeil from Tranent in East Lothian, billed as an office bearer in his local branch and of East Lothian CA and advisor to Scottish Labour. His particular reading suggests that in Argyll & Bute the most effective challenger to the SNP was the Tory candidate and you can deduce some of his other assessments from their placement on the wheel. Both Alan Reid and Mary Galraith's chances were dismissed out of hand! The predictions were quickly rubbished by his own party colleagues and indeed Mr MacNeil's standing within his party was also denied.
Can it be that an element of panic is emerging?

Thread: Color problems

Color problems
I was working on a picture (in Painter IX.5) when for no apparent reason the color seemed to shift a little on the entire canvas, and now even if I select a color currently on the canvas with the eyedropper tool, when I try to paint it's a different color from the sample I took it from, which is easily apparent when painting over previously colored areas. Has anyone else encountered this problem or have any ideas on how to remedy it?sketchbook // tumblr

I've had that happen, but i have no idea how to remedy/avoid it. I usually have a previous version of my file i can reference the desired colors from and bring the file into photoshop to tweak color ranges, hues and values. Of course that doesn't really solve your problem since it requires a completely new program, but it's all I've been able to figure out on my own to approach the problem
"Today, a young man on acid, realised that all matter is merely energy condensed to a slow vibration. That we are all one consciousness experiencing itself subjectively, there is no such thing as death, life is only a dream, and we are the imagination of ourselves... here's Tom with the weather." - Bill Hicks

If either was the case, it would enable the Impasto layer (Impasto lighting and depth) and automatically change the lighting over the entire image.
Please do not PM me with Painter questions. Instead, post them here where everyone can benefit from them. Thanks!

Its official...I'm frustrated
Yes, another guy having a hell of a time with the clutch on his 950 ADV...I am about to light this beautiful bike on fire.
If you read all this, thanks in advnace.
Background: 04 950 ADV with 26K on it. Clutch developed a very slight drag at the tail end of the last oil change (Castrol 4T Syn 10w50). I didnt like the oil too much (notchy shifts after I put it in), wanted to fix the drag.
Changed oil with Lucas Full Syn 10w50. Because of the drag and research on clutch drag all over this forum, decided to pull the clutch plates, inner hub/booster and inspect.
Plates looked fine, no warping, discoloration, or burnt/glaze on any paltes. Booster looked a bit worn but not nearly as bad as some within this site...looked okay.
Inner hub and basket had tell tale signs of clutch plates notching/digging into the drive side of each.
SO...I saturated the plates in new oil, filed down the notches (basket and iner hub, drive side only) just enough to make it feel smoother/not as nothcy with a super fine file, cleaned the old grease/rust off the booster, put a small dab of Lucas Red Tacky #2 grease on the ramps/dogs of the booster.
Applied Permatex equivalent of Loctite 243 (I think it was 21200 or something) to the 32mm nut and re-torqued to spec.
Swapped the inner steel with an outer steel because the inner had a slight groove. Installed plates with all sharp edges in the same direction.
Placed all Fibers in the same meshing except for the last which I placed one meshing further. Buttoned up the clutch.
Inspected Push rod, looks fine (its a steel one piece), no corrosion.
Inspected the slave, no weeping, o-rings look good. Cleaned it up a bit and put it back on the bike.
Now the fun part...checked the clutch fluid...it was damn near black. So, replaced it with rip-off motorex fluid 75 (no 2.5wt fork oil locally in any shops, didn't want to use baby oil, ATF, etc). Bled it about nine-thousand times. Bled from the slave up to the master with a syringe (with hose clamps, no air) for about an hour. Wife removing excess from master as I fed it mineral oil from the slave. Bled until no bubbles appearing, then bled for another 5-10 minutes. Started bike, bike stalls when I put it in gear.
Went and bought a hand vacuum bleeder (MityMax) and tried reverse bleeding, sucking fluid from the master via the slave. Wife added mineral oil as needed, not letting it get low, as I pumped via the slave until no bubbles and then some. Started bike, bike stalls when I put it in gear.
Ditched the syringe and MityMax, tried it the old fashion way; attached tube/container full of mineral oil to bleeder nipple, cracked nipple, wife pulled clutch lever and held it to the bar, I closed the nipple, she added mineral oil to the master as needed, never let it get low. Repeated this for about an hour. Started bike, put it in gear, bike stalls.
Oh, gave the lever max play prior to bleeding, then removed all play when I tested it. Also pulled the clutch cover off to inspect movement. Looks like its getting 2-3mm of movement or so. Removed the pressure plate and checked the push rod. Push rod is sticking out and I can feel the hydraulic pressure on it when I push it into the slave from the clutch side.
I am stumped. I thought it was air in the line but I have bled it over and over using various methods until I got no bubbles to no avail.
What do you guys think?
Didn't see it so gotta ask,, did you change/clean the clutch oil jet?
Not that it would matter that quick after starting..
If you put it in 5th gear, will it move without turning the motor when you pull the clutch lever in?
I tried a full synthetic in my old DR30 years ago,, it did the opposite, I had to drop to a blend to make the clutch not slip... Took a while for it to recover..
Can you describe "bike stalls" in more detail?
When you click it into gear, does the bike lurch forward (ie the clutch is dragging) or does the engine just quit - If it's the later, it sounds more like a sidestand switch cut out problem than a clutch problem.
I think you focused too much on bleeding the hydraulic clutch
I had huge clutch dragging problems when my bike was new. It was a Adv Dec 2003. My mechanic replaced the pushrod and installed the oil reduction jet. Nothing improved the situation. Finally the KTM moma stepped in after a complaint I did to them and they replaced the whole clutch assembly. I argued the oil reduction jet was installed after my clutch plates have been damaged. I never had the motor die though.
If you are sure you haven't misplaced the inner clutch disc with the larger inside diameter, where the belevil ring resides, I believe replacing your clutch assy would be the only option. However I cannot understand why you have so much drag to the extent your motor dies. That means you have no disengagement whatsoever. One surplus clutch disc maybe? 10 fibre and 11 steel IIRC.
How is the clutch feeling? Is it OK?
The pushropd pin is not binding the pushrod operation somehow?
Yes, you are spending too much time on the bleeding. It is not that hard and if it feels okay at the handle, your done.
If you do any adventuring at all, you should be carrying a sidestand bypass. Use this to eliminate that as a cause.
Clean oil jet. If this gets clogged, it is amazing how much this can affect clutch performance.
After that, if it is still "catching", you need to go back through your rebuild to though it sounded very thorough. 26K would be early for replacement parts but ...
I was going to say check the pin.
Kind of glad Im not the only one having drag problems.
I roughed up the steel plates with wet and dry which improves things quite a bit for a while. ie. no drag but dam hard to get N at stop.
First, thanks for all the replies I love this site.
Pdxmotorhead: I did not clean the oil jet during this last bout of maintenance, but just cleaned it about 800 miles ago. Not sure if thats it, but Ill hit it up today.
TrentW: Over the various bleeding bouts, the bike would stall both ways; either lurch forward, stall out right as I put it in gear, and one time it had incredibly strong drag that I could only stop with the front brake. Bike has a side stand bypass put on by PO.
gefr: thats sweet KTM replaced your entire clutch. After all this, last night I pulled the clutch cover to re-inspect the paltes, etc. I removed all plates and the belville washer and made sure I didnt slip up and put something in the wrong order. All was well/installed properly and put in according to the manual.
The clutch feels ok. What do you mean I believe replacing your clutch disengagement whatsoever?
I also pulled the slave off and re-checked the pushrod pin was seated properly in the slave itself it was.
DeepInIt: The sidestand is bypassed. Ill re-hit the oil jet.
rossguzzi: checked the pin, all is well.
I read of some guys removing the slave itself and bleeding it when removed from the bike thus getting out trapped air. I am going to try that. Also tracking not to pump/touch the lever with the stock slave off the bike. I know Ive bled this bike to death, but I dont know what else to do.
Do you still have the old style clutch pushrod???
Yes, it has the "new," one piece push rod.
With bike off, I tried putting it in gear, pulling the clutch in, and turning the back wheel. I can get it to turn, but it is hard as hell.
You sure the clutch bucket ain't jamming somehere?
Sounds like you've bled it to death so don't think thats your problem, this can only mean its a mechanical problem in the clutch (plates or springs are out of spec?) or your oil is contaminated? How are your cables looking?
I got a dollar that says the oil jet has unscrewed itself from it's perch.
I say stop bleeding the poor thing, save your sanity and look elsewhere. Have you checked the clutch oil jet?

AUSTIN, Texas — This week the Legal Affairs Debate Club has invited Professor
John Robertson, who holds the Vinson & Elkins Chair in Law, and who specializes
in law and bioethics to debate the ethics and legalities of sex selection with
Barbara Katz Rothman, a professor of sociology in the Ph.D. program of the City
University of New York, and author of such books as Recreating Motherhood
and the Tentative Pregnancy.
For a link to the ongoing debate, see http://www.legalaffairs.org/webexclusive/debateclub_sex-selection0306.msp.
Professor Robertson argues that non-medical sex selection for second and subsequent children should be recognized as an aspect of the reproductive rights recognized by the Supreme Court, and that choice of a child's sex is consistent with full protection of women's rights in other areas. Professor Rothman believes that sex selection practices are inherently sexist, and that encouraging them will further reify the significance of sex in society and make it harder to realize equal rights for women.
About the Legal Affairs Debate Club
More than a year ago, Legal Affairs magazine launched the online feature Debate Club (www.legalaffairs.org/debateclub) where top legal scholars and practitioners hash out current issues in the law in week-long debates. The Debate Club has attracted Richard Posner, Geof Stone, Sandy Levinson (UT Law), Brian Leiter (UT Law), Eugene Volokh, and Jack Balkin, among others to engage in an a debate with four to five postings a weeks with an invited scholar who has an opposite point of view.

The St. Marys Area Flying Dutchmen and the Punxsutawney Chucks battled through two overtime periods before the Chucks were able to come out on top 57-54 Tuesday night at the SMAHS Dutch Oven.
 The St. Marys Area Flying Dutchmen successfully defended their District 9 Class AAA title Saturday afternoon with a 33-22 victory over the Clearfield Bison in the District 9 Wrestling Championships at DuBois Area High School.

The St. Marys Area Lady Dutch outscored the DuBois Area Lady Beavers by a 9-6 margin in the four-minute overtime to record a 45-42 victory over DuBois in a District 9 League game.
Headed into Friday night's game, there was some discussion as to whether the Punxsutawney Lady Chucks would be the team to end the Elk County Catholic Lady Crusaders' undefeated run. ECC put that speculation to rest early as they built a large lead in the first quarter and pulled away for a 56-33 victory.
Headed into the final bout of the night, the St. Marys Area Flying Dutchmen held a slim three-point lead over county rival Ridgway Elkers, 31-28. At one point in the match, the Dutchmen had held a 22-point lead, but Ridgway had rallied and looked poised to steal the victory. Faced with a must-win scenario, St. Marys Area's Cameron Resch came through with a 4-1 decision over Ridgway's Drew Baumgratz to give the Dutch the 34-28 match victory.
The Elk County Catholic Crusaders defeated the Sheffield Wolverines by a 71-33 score on Little Dribblers Night and Senior Player Night at the ECCHS gym.
