Misreading several posts doesn't really make things easier in this thread either.

And I never asked for your entire 450 page copy. One page would be enough - and if you actually cared about providing info like you said, that wouldn't have been such a problem.
Well you are for sure no expert on how steel is expanding with heat and with discussing things like this we maybe learn something, what you think would happend if the steel in shaft expand more than bearing? Yes they would get stuck in heat, like i told you its best cooling down one of the metals for them to release from eachother. I have no info about the diffferent steel made and how they are possible operating in heat if you do please explain so we all can learn.

And you making this thread doesnt mean you decides whats beeing discussed here other than the info you need, some of the most importan thing in forums is that everyone can come with info and we find out togheter whats correct. Like i told you its not only one page about this subject lower end and its best you buy manual so you have all info to get this correct. There is special tools needed too!

Are you saying I didn't try?

I answered multiple of his posts even though the answer was already given before, or he simply misread.

I answered him and explained that the radius of a gear expands with heat but he doesn't believe me and says i'm wrong.

Then, when I ask him for some actual valuable info (1-2 pages from a manual) he refuses.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
