Just south of Whitehorse, Yukon, Canada are two small lakes named: Snafu & Tarfu. Good pike fishing too!

Lube'd the speedo and tacho... tacho seemed ok but speedo was definitely not looking right on Friday... hopefully a bit of DWF frees it up.1982 GS450E - The Wee Beastie

Decided to check out why my rear brakes were sticking. ummmm I had made a silly mistake and let the pads wear down too much, it was running metal on metal.
I was very lucky that I had not scored the disk.
Also waiting on a set of o-rings from cycleoring.com (love his sense of humor) and I will rebuild the carbs and then re-jet and fit pod filters.
Sad this needs to happen in summer, as we are having some pretty good riding weather

Turned up a new spacer for the rear wheel bearings as well as a couple of shims for the bearings.

Seems the speedo/tacho lube didn't really do the trick last night so after talking with John82q today I realised I'd never pulled the innards out and given them a good clean, so did that tonight.
Just gotta get some silicone based lube and they can go back on again.1982 GS450E - The Wee Beastie

What have you done to improve the engine?
Can you start a thread in the projects section please.

Sanded and primer'd the 1996 CR80 dirt bike I am rebuilding to sell for more funds for the 82 GS550 Katana I'm rebuilding. Will finish painting the frame tonight and finally start getting this thing together so I can sell it! Can't wait so I can get back to work on the Zook.
Oh, I did manage to loosen all the exhaust bolts on the katana earlier and they all came loose without breaking. Whoo Hoo!

Now if I could just work out how to get the tripmeter reset knob off I'd be laughin'...1982 GS450E - The Wee Beastie
