FYI - LeDude's Burgman Center -- Google Snafu

[LeDude]

Alas what I was affraid of has come to pass, Google has updated their Google doc program which I had used to create the DIYs... and they have started converting all the old docs to the new formats.

not all the old DIYs have been affected yet, not sure about their logic, was hoping that they would leave the old DOCs alone but that doesn't seem
to be the case.

The content is still there, but the thumbnail function is gone for now which means you won't be able to see the larger pics until I migrate everything.
The formatting is a bit off too under the new format.

Note: one way to see the larger pics for now is to click on the smaller new pics and open the pic in a new tab on your browser, that seems to
bring up the equivalent full size picture.

The picture video links to my video library seem to be broken too, so you will have to go the video page for the time being to view the videos.
Use the link in my signature.

Not something I have any control over, you get what you pay for and you are at the mercy of Google when it comes to using their free stuff...

once I get over the CVT repair project, I will start the migration plan for all the old DIYs as time permits.

Thankfully I have all the old pics.

Do as you need to do. I for one am getting every penny I have spent. Heck I still using a laptop with Windows 3.11. Some day I may even upgrade to ME or Win 98 as I have both still in the box. Could'ent give me Win 95.

Snafu????????

Snafu????????

forgive the language:

Situation Normal (banned word here)-Up - phrase used to describe a less than desirable scenario when similar less than desirable scenarios seem to be the norm in the given environment. originated as a military phrase because soldiers report to superior officers using phrases like "situation normal.

I thought we were going to be in a TARFUN situation before long followed by a complete FUBAR meltdown .... but it doesn't look that bad ...

Urban dictionary definitions

[LeDude]

just spent some time going over Google's change to their Docs online app... not as bad as I had thought...

edited the DIY - Engine Oil Change to conform to the new formatting etc.... Let me know what you think about the new format.

The biggest change for me is that the HTML/CCS part of editing your content in raw format is gone, so it is now basically just a plain vanilla
document editor.

the picture thumbnails are gone, as are picture links.

They have married Google Docs to Picasa for picture content storage, which kind of makes sense, I would have done the same thing if I were
in their shoes.

I am going to resize the pics and enlarge some in the docs as I clean them up for now until I port everything to Google Sites which is now their full web authoring / publising tool.

To see a larger picture of a smaller picture in the document, you will have to open it in a new tab/window which will bring up a Picasa page for the picture, in some ways it is a bit better as in the past it would open the picture with your dedicated jpeg display program on your system, at least in google Chrome.

all in all not all that different from the past except that you have to request the open in a new tab/window instead of just clicking on the old thumbnail pics that redirected you to the larger picture. who knows maybe they will bring back the thumbnail functionality at some point.

Still a decent free tool.

Just a lot of unnecessary work for which I don't have a lot of time right now... and their conversions don't seem to be working all that well either.

[LeDude]

couldn't sleep last night so I went ahead and updated these DIYs to conform to Google's new format.

The contact me icon is gone but you can still contact/e-mail me through my burgman center.

Procrastinating about the scooter repair? (Says the king of procrastination)

Seriously, wasn't the purpose of tupperware removal to gain acces to the CVT ?

[Gbjbany]

Le dude - Thanks for all your hard work redoing this - i know its a pain

i found one broken link on the oil change - there is a tip at the bottom to resetting the change oil
TIP
Don't forget to reset your Oil Change Indicator / Interval, this way it wont come up when you least expect it.

Also whilst i have your attention - Might be nice to say Pre 2011 models - As the procedure changed on the new dash - Just a thought anyway

Thanks Again

alas I had a few previous life engagement that I had to honor, but things are back on track.. dropped the engine yesterday, will post some follow-up data on that...

I am not sure if I will repair the 650 or just junk it, but will definitely go through the CVT removal and diagnosis... and publish some DIYs and videos.

thanks, will fix that link when I get home tonight... somebody sent me some info on how to reset those on the 2011+ models, I have it saved at home, will add that to the DIY.
