Posts: 2581 London ontario Gender:	Funny thing about this forum: 09/04/11 at 08:03:30 A few times I have posted serious questions on RSD about jetting, carb setup and the like. I usually got very few responses. I go to the cafe and post silly things like how cold it is or what I had for breakfast and get pages of responses. Why is that? I am genuinely curious.

Exactly. I can talk to you about the weather and food and whatever but ask me a tech question and I am baffled. I come here to ask tech questions b/c I am fairly clueless. There is no way I could actually ANSWER someone's tech questions.

I agree to a point, but I would describe the number of people who have re-jetted a carb as more than "very few".
Maybe it has something to do with the fact that a lot of people feel uncertain about committing to an answer to a tech question, even if they know the answer, where they could do damage by being wrong, as opposed to a reply, or answer to a "cafe" question, where they can say whatever they want, wrong or right. Huh

(don't get me started about schmagnets or loud pipes) Other non-technical issues can get a lot of opinions (baseless and otherwise) and feelings involved. A factor maybe?

I bought two pilot and three main jets, took an educated guess, (the Dial-a-Jet either complicated things or simplified them, I can't decide which) put in a 55 pilot and 150 main and she runs very well.

Technical questions are very specific and are generally true and useful.
No pot stirring, no stepping on toes, no riling up, no purple veins popping up and pulsing on the forehead, no steam from the ears, no pounding on the desk with shoes, no religion, no politics.....no fun.

On the other hand there are currently 203 pages of replies on the "Tall Table" thread in the Cafe. Tongue

Cafe section is interesting.
