Uh-oh...I'm getting the feeling that this project will be more trouble than it's worth.
Don't listen to us. Do your thing and I'm convinced there will be more people for than against.
After all, I didn't say its the ONLY color I like  |

Just hit F11, it'll maximize it for you.
F11 again will take it back.
Sweet! Thanks Dave. |

Yeah if you want to change it and Blake's all for it... Go for it. It's not like sand and dark sand are my FAVORITE colors  . They just seem to work well . |

Yeah, Dago, don't pay any attention to me---I get to use this great board all I want for nothing and don't contribute a dime to its upkeep, so my complaining rights are nil. I'm sure any fixin' up you do will be much appreciated. |

That's how I feel too, 2stroke.

Hey, I can change the colors. That's a simple thing that discus offers. I can change the font too. You professional types will need to help with some custom programming I have in mind though. To start, ad a "next" and "previous" link at the bottom of each page. Actually I can probably even figure that out too.
So let's talk font. What font do you like? Verdana? Arial? Times New Roman (Times)? What? |

Arial is very legible on most monitors in the 11 - 12px range. Times or any other serif font (with the little feets) are more difficult to read... for most
I should add.. Tahoma is another nice font that isn't used too often and is very legible. Verdana works really well at super tiny sizes (10px and down) and is nice for headers but its really wide.

Blake - There are two threads currently running under Knowledge Vault » Drivetrain - Primary Drive. Those threads cover a number of topics and comments and replies can be hard to sort out by topic.
It seems like there should be an ability to create a new thread with a relevant subject under Primary Drive and keep the replies grouped with it. Am I missing anything here?
Thanks,
Jack |

Blake,
Tonight I ran into a good example of my difficulties with the search feature. I need to service the swing arm bearings on my S3, there are no instructions in the shop manual, so I searched the KV. I searched on "swing arm bearing service" with "and" selected, and came up with a load of hits. The problem is a lot of the hits will be on a ~30 post long thread with "swing arm" in one post, "bearing" in another, and "service" in another.
I did find a few relevant posts but not the info I was looking for (i.e.- to service your swing arm bearings- do this...)
Am I missing some bluntly obvious search feature for narrowing this down, or am I the only one who has this problem?
Thanks! |

a search module on the home page would be a great addition i think. I can understand why new visitors just see the listing... a big XB (or other) then click it and start posting away.
maybe a module with some good prominence will alert users to try and search the KV for answers before posting. I would assume threads in the KV that appear dead would come to life again. tons of great info in there and great conversation too! |

First, there indeed are instructions in the shop manual on how to service the swingarm bearings. Look under the "Swingarm" section of chapter two "Chassis".
Second, try "swingarm" as all one word and be sure to check the "whole words only" match method option. |

Blake,
In my 2000 S3 manual, there's a chapter 2, and a section 2.28 "Swingarm", but all it covers is removal and installation of the swingarm itself. It doesn't even show the bearings (luckily I have a parts book too). To contrast, there are detailed instructions for servicing the fork stem bearings.
I think I can figure this out, as the installation instructions cover the assembly and pre-load on the swingarm pivot, etc., but it seems like they just forgot to cover these. |

I'm looking at the online service manual for the S1...
Page 2-33 through page 2-34
SWINGARM
DISASSEMBLY
Figure 2-37 shows exploded view of parts.
Figure 2-38 shows how to remove the bearings. Shows the bearings, talks about removing them.
Appendix page A7 shows the removal tool.
Your S3 manual should have the same information somewhere. If not, I'd be surprised if you cannot figure out the best approach by referring to the S1 instructions. Pretty sure the basic mechanism is the same, just a different swingarm. |

Dago/Blake, re: font
The font you used on the Texas Motor Speedway site is perfect. I think its Verdana, right? Super legible.
I will clam up now. |
