  • KDX locked engine due to fall, and once started makes rattling noise?

    Got a kdx dirt bike, and it fell on the kickstart / gearbox side. The kick start locked so I couldn't start the bike. Going downhill didn't solve the problem as the rear wheel was locking.

    After the engine cooled down and some ferocious kicking, the kickstart gave way and the bike started, but there was this metal to metal rattle in the engine.

    Seems like a problem in the lower part of the engine, a bearing, broken crankshaft... dunno

    Aslo ther bike lost power.

    Of course im taking it to the mech but I would like some tips / advice of what could have happened.

    thanks for your help

  • I disabled certain programs everytime windows starts. now i need to restore/enable again. please help!?

    about a week ago there was this feature on yahoo.com saying 'how to make your PC faster and windows XP run smoother..' I did what it said and disabled several (important) items from startup including sound manager. Next time i switched on Windows a confirmation message came up stating if i'd like these changes to occur or not.. and stubbornly I confirmes without noticing that I lost loads of important things. My question is I'd like to know where I went when disabling these, so that I can enable them again.

    Thanks thanks thanks please help

    -the best for everyday car.. ford \ toyota

    -performance and good price - honda \ audi

    -elegance and sporty - mercedes

    -classy and expensive - bentley

    -top of the range performance - ferrari..

    and after all what d u reckon is the ultimate 600cc and 1000cc

    bike.

  • How come official recording of time and years started off with the birth of Jesus?

    Now we're in 2007. 2007 years ago, some interesting guys organized a calendar and started off from 0 years. We say that Jesus was 33 when he died in 33AC. Or else we say 60BC for example when we mean 60 years prior to year 0. Is it true that christ was born on 0 years, that is the start of the first century? What about the 25th of December? Is it recorded in histroy?
