what did you wrench on today??

[kerrfunk]

I used an electric jackhammer today to repair some sidewalk at my church.

today i took off the rotor and checked the starter clutch as source of the noise i am hearing. Didint find anything amiss so i reloctited the bolts and torqued them in and reinstalled the left side.. The tore down the clutch all the way down to the oil pump and Rustybronco came by after work. We determined that the source of the noise is suspect loose spring on the back of the clutch basket AND the fact that she needs the guages on her to fine tune the sync a bit. Also, i listed the house for sale today. Hopefully when that sells i can look into finding a guru to rebuild the clutch basket. Was along day but very informative and learned a good deal as well..overall was a 9.5 out of ten. We buttoned everything up and i took a shower and rode the GROWLER up to our local bike night and spent 2 1/2 hrs answering questions from at least 40 or so people that stopped by looking her over and sharing their when i had my suzuki XXX back in 75 stories.. LOL

Got off work a bit early to trim down some overtime and spent all afternoon/evening in the man cave (well and driveway). Took the front bumper and headlight off of my Civic to replace the hood release cable and associated clips, replaced the fuel filter I've had laying around, took the gauge cluster out to fix the aftermarket gauges that haven't worked since I've owned the car, painted the GS frame and a few other bits. Been a productive evening. Tomorrow I'll get some clear on the frame and that chapter of getting the Skunk back on the road will be over.

Did a Chain and both front and rear sprockets on my bike... Was scary as while taking the old chain off a link about 6 up just fell apart. Convienant in the fact that I did not have to fight with the master... scary in the fact that I was riding like that *only once though from where I bought the bike home*.....


man she sure is smooth now.

I actually had a chain disintegrate while riding once. On the freeway.
new chains are our friends

Just finished up rear brakes on Effie still have time for a little ride before all the Friday crazy drivers get on the road.

Just replaced my pod air filters with the stock air box. Much better =)

Depending on the work schedule and parts delivery, I'll hopefully be tearing into the 1100 this Monday. Exhaust is supposed to be here by then, hoping the gaskets come too. Then it'll be the carbs and valve adjustments and a few basics. While it will suck to be off the bike, the work needs to be done and I'm looking forward to doing it.

*edit* Actually the reason Im looking forward to needed maintenance is that I won't have to work alone. The g/f is great in helping and loves to learn wrenching on bikes. Lord knows it'll make the laborious job of removing and replacing the carbs a lot easier.

Help is great alway better having an extra set of hands. My wife won't let my G/F come over and help.

Removing all the masking from the frame which I got back from the powdercoater.

I wrenched the card out of my wallet and ordered a new front tire

Believe it or not, i got paid to break stuff today

the Skills USA compitition is tommorow on the state level so we bugged a bunch of hvac/r equipment for a bunch of highschool kids to troubleshoot

[mike_of_bbg]

Couldn't take it any more: had too many parts sitting around not getting installed

Installed new EBC brake pads on the old GS550L, bled the system, and did the DIY A&N SS brake lines. The brake lever definitely has a much firmer feel, and I don't have that pit in my stomach of having a 28-year-old rubber brake line keeping me from the things in front of me Definitely shows off how saggy my springs are now.

Next in queue (once I build up the time and courage, parts already on shelf): full fork refresh with new seals, oil, and progressive springs. Plus a new tire and wheel bearings up front.

Eventually I'll get around to that weeping head gasket...
