Bike Maintenance

Since we have no photo for today, here is an exciting oil change. A good thread would be "What did you do to your bike today" in some general discussion title.

I changed oil...

We have fun with a "What did you do today thread" on other forums. This one includes all the essentials, oil pan, Old license plate oil diverter to keep off pipes, oil, funnel, IPhone, Pomeranian at the right "helper dog", tools and beer.

Changed fork oil, and in the process of replacing the steering head bearings. Got my steering stem in the freezer...

Darn, missed my chance to get in on this one, no photos but took wheels off to get new tires mounted, also swapped screens and grab rail for luggage rack.

Yeah, sure bro. That's what they all say.

No photos here either but I was reinstalling my carbs on the ST11. You do NOT want to do that! What a pain but it need to be done. I also fixed an oil leak (imagine that) on my Triumph Bonneville. It was minor but had to remove much to get to it. Tom McK

Some needed care for my WR250R-LTL PYG: new rear D 606 tire and Kenda tuff tube, new front sprocket, new oil and filter, cleaned air filter. Ready for DS adventure for Fall Colors Ride!

Can't be any worse that R&R Valk carbs....or is it?

License plate lamp. Was a cheap China model that failed. Replace it?, naw, not being part Scottish. Tore apart, soldered where broken, hot glued together, coated with silicone sealant, then tacked in place with dab of hot glue, followed up by more silicone sealant for a secure, yet removable bond.

Trust my work? Soldered an old GMA 3 amp fuse in line (used from an old VCR I tore apart years ago, I'm sure), tucked it all away under the mount plate.

Saved $6. More of a delivery issue than $$.
