AIR FILTER
- From: scruffy
-
Description:
HI; The air filter is under the fuel tank. You have to remove the seat and tank to gain access. It is a pain to get to. You have two fuel lines and four electrical connectors.. Make sure that the tank is empty it will make things easier and lighter. Get a friend to help so you don't drop or scratch the paint.1 month ago

Tear down time!
- From: mjbearit

Description:
What a job! I swear it is over 100 degrees in the garage! Well I'm finally going to completely tear down the bike and work on it. I'm lowering it by an inch and going to progressive springs all around. The rear end is torn most of the way down, just gotta jack it up to remove the dog-bones and shock/spring. I thought I'd take a short break and get some water. I'm gonna have to get some pics I suppose so that those who have never done anything like this before will have some frame of reference if they decide they are going to try something like this themselves. Seats came off, followed by the gas tank, saddle bags, mufflers and headers were next. Then came the battery and battery box. Lot of electrical connections there, hope I get them all back on right! LOL! Next came the tool box on the other side. This gave me access to the nut on the top of the shock and the left dog-bone. I am considering removing the entire swingarm to grease that area real good since I hear Yamaha can be a bit stingy on the grease in this area.
Once the back-end is done, it will be time for the front end. Everything comes off! The fork springs will also be replaced by progressive springs (and of course the fork oil changed at that time to a good racing formula fork oil) and the stem bearings are to be replaced by All-Balls roller racing bearings. These are the roller type bearings as opposed to the round ball type bearings. While I am in there, I have a brake pad that keeps dragging from time to time so I will be disassembling the calipers on both sides in the front and cleaning them up, reassembling them and of course adding new fluid (I just changed it dangit!). So no riding for me for awhile, just work, work and more work!
Ya'll ride safe out there!

Motorcycle Detailing Top 10 Ti
- From: twest137
-
Description:
1. Let The Bike Cool Off Completely Before Cleaning
Spraying cold water or cleaners on a hot motorcycle can leave permanent spots on machined or plated parts or possibly crack your engine heads.
2. Remove All Ancillary Parts From The Bike
Pull off the seat, side covers, saddlebags, cup holders or anything else easily removed, so you can get into the tight spots with no difficulty.
3. Remove All Rings, Bracelets, Wallet Chains And Other Items
There is nothing worse than accidentally scratching your bike when trying to clean it. Also rings can get caught on a multitude of edges and injury can occur.
4. Use Good Quality Terrycloth And Micofiber Towels
Use the more porous terrycloth towels for the plated and chromed parts, and the microfiber cloths for the easily scratched or swirled painted and powdercoated finishes.
5. The Kitchen Is Your Friend
A kitchen scrub brush, non-scratching SOS pads and Scotch Brite sponges, as well as toothbrushes are great utensils to clean bikes with.
6. Find Good Quality Cleaners And Stick With Them
Though there are many good cleaners on the market, some of them when mixed can cause corrosion, dry out paint, and cause chalking. We prefer the bike cleaning kits like the ones Meguiar's and Wizards makes.
7. Pre-Soak Before Total Wash
Use a mild degreaser and hot water on the parts of the bike that really need it such as wheels and bug-covered front fairings. Wash the other parts with warm soapy water.
8. Buy A Bike Lift Already
Bike lifts are cheap insurance. Trying to move an 800-pound bike around with wet and slippery hands can have negative and catastrophic results. We like the Pitbull and Craftsman lifts.
9. Blow It Dry
Use an air compressor, shop vac or hair dryer to blow all the water out of the stubborn nooks and crannies before starting the bike. This water, if not removed, can play hell with the electrical system.
10. Wax On, Wax off
Don't be afraid to wax your bike; it's not the mess it used to be. Many companies have an easy way to keep a nice coat on your bike. We have used Eagle One Wax as U Dry and Turtle Wax Liquid Paste Wax with great results. - Blog post

You can't fix stupid, continue

Let's see if I can get back into some peoples good graces again.
Yesterday I bought a "bark collar" for my dog. She's gotten into the habit lately at liking the sound of her own voice and barks just to get attention. She's a German Shepherd and has a pretty hefty bark that really aggravates after awhile.
Anyway, I took the collar to work to punch some more holes into it and of course had a number of people come over to snoop, I mean, have a look. One of those people is someone I had thought of as a very intelligent man. He works in Quality control and inspects parts that go into our airplanes(we build Beavers and Twin Otters). He actually put the thing around his neck and made barking noises, then said, there's nothing to this. I took it back, put the batteries in and turned it on, to maximum!!! He again put it around his neck, smiled and barked, well, sort of barked, it came out as BBBBBBB, next thing you know he was clutching his neck, crying and blubbering something very, very quietly. We figured out that his hands were shaking too much to undo the collar and when he tried to ask for help, he got zapped again. It's interesting to see a grown man cry, he didn't sob, just tears, sobbing got him zapped again!! It took two of us to get the collar off him, mainly because we couldn't stop laughing long enough to undo the buckle.
He came back to work today and was writting notes to people for anything work related. We asked what was wrong, maybe a bit cynically and he only wrote to letters on the notes, one being an O. Seems his throat is too sore to talk and he has two little, ittzy, bitzy marks on his neck, looks like electrical burns to me.
He did write a note to his boss, seems that it is my fault his throat is sore, If I hadn't taken the collar to work, none of it would have happened.
You can't fix stupid...
P.S, I took the collar back to the store, couldn't do that to my dog.
