did I pull something loose or is this normal?

bluesinorbit · June 6th, 2011, 07:05 PM

I know this probably belongs in the tech talk but I really need a quick response. I'm at work right now sending this message over the phone. I washed my bike during the break and I just noticed a hose hanging from the bottom of the bike that I haven't seen before. I'm worried that I loosen something.

Thanks.

Perfectly normal. Nothing to worry about.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!

that's suppose to be connected to the alternator bi-hydroxide fluid capacitor!
you just lost 5 hp with that tube alone!

Yup, I was racing a vett and I blew that tube off, so I lost the race.

Did you put more than 1.21 gigawatts in your flux capacitor? Re-align your torque sensors and allow the positronic relay to discharge fully before putting the engine under load. That should relieve the pressure in the heissman chamber enough to allow that hose to retract itself.

Discharging the ol' flux capacitor never hurt anybody, kelly.
