Title: Houston - Maintenance Day???
Post by: Pedro-bot on June 22, 2008, 10:51:38 AM
So how 'bout it? Anyone up for a Maintenance Day? I need to replace the front brake pads.  :P

I'd be willing to host the event at my place. Don't have many tools but I think enough of them to make this work.  8)

I'm in!  Anyone want to teach me how to properly change the oil?  We can wrap up the day with some of this, too  [drink]

Just leave the keys and make sure to stock the fridge. We'll make ourselves at home.  [evil]

I can't make it before Thursday but if people want to do that, its fine by me.

oops, I already did the valve adjustment on the monster (although there's one valve that could use a .001" adjustment on the opener that I didn't have the shim for, so I could go buy that and do it) this saturday and the 748's in pieces right now getting one as well.  I haven't decided if I'm going to continue the 4v valve adjustment little by little throughout the week or just finish it this saturday, but I'm more than happy to have a maintenance day at my place too, byob please, unless you're good with johnny black  [beer]

I've been meaning to tackle the fuel filter replacement on the 748 for a while now, so maybe we can go through that this weekend too.  I can probably leave my throttle body sync to the weekend too if that suits..

I've been really wanting to get one of those gunson gas testers from desmotimes too so I can start tweaking my CO levels properly, but we'll see...

I am so so down for a maintenance day for w/e. I may not have a place to live, but that doesn't mean I can neglect my baby!

I know the oil topic is somewhat subjective, but I followed the recommendation from other people on the boards and recently switched to Shell Rotella Synthetic oil (at Walmart for $16/gallon).  This is a great deal compare to other oils.  My bike seems to be running better  and without clutch slippage.

Regards,
Alvin

Sure thing David.  [thumbsup]

But just so you know, most of us here are still on Level 01. You've already flipped the game, a la Metroid on the NES.  :P
