The Krypt Keeper

Once a year or 4500 miles on average. Normally around same time I replace tires. Do everything at one time to not worry about it for rest of year. I will write mileage down on masking tape and stick to one of my tool boxes when doing tires and oil. When I went to bridgstone bto16s my mileage went up to 4500 miles. Will be going to bridgestones 21's next so will see how that goes for mileage comparison. Run it in track bike as well. Two track days on last change. Oil still golden in color just slight odor of fuel in it. Also prefer wix filters, napa gold are same filter.

That should be an easy fix for a welding shop with someone who can TIG weld or even cut that piece off and weld on a new inlet that will last another 100k miles.

Rotella T6 goes for on average $19 -$21 for 4qt jug at walmart and $28 or so at auto parts store

You wont blow out anything with a different exhaust for another bike. Take some measurements of the the muffler at connecting point. Check the ID or OD of the pipe and look for similar to mate up to the header pipe. The mufflers were all basically the same, headers were different. Take some pics and post of pipe and how they connect and sure we can find the exact muffler that also fit a kawi or yammer

The mufflers may not be listed for bird but they were all standard sizes mostly. The header pipe being the most bike specific part. If the connection between header and muffler are same size/style they will fit. Can contact 2bros about that and see what yrs and bikes were sold with that style muffler to widen search. Can take it off and depending on what type of metal, stainless, alum the end cap if you can have it welded up and smoothed back down. Titanium doubt will be welded, but can possibly be brazed. Repacking is easy, will lightly quiet down the note of it for a little bit. If rivited end caps are on the exhaust, drill them out, pull out replace wrap and pop rivet back using closed end rivet. Might be an opportunity to remove exhaust, have end cap welded and repack, two birds one stone.

Will try adding some eggs and see, probably get the walking farts. Doing my best to leave protein bars alone.

What about quantity? 2 eggs, or so many ounces. Wife tells me she hates that I only eat whatever bars and basically all my dinners are a baked or grilled form of chicken or turkey. I dont have much choice so I eat a salad, yard bird and typically some corn, broccoli or green beans. Feel 100% better but also not losing any weight.

Loved greek yogurt, however it hates me and aids in my kidney stones.

Can someone list some small meals to make or prep for an average week of real food. Trying myself to get away from Cliff bars and Kind pressed fruit bars for two weeks and failed terrible. Work out of town a lot so they are easy grab and go. Is easy for me to just eat 1 of each and then grilled chicken or turkey and veggies at dinner. Might snack on a handful of unsalted mixed nuts couple days a week. Diet restrictions are red meats, salt and carbs.

I agree, nobody if going to pay that for a 15yr old bike.

Messing with the suspension doubt everything will exactly perfect after the 10 hours of beating and shoving. If vehicle was ever aligned after first set of tires was replaced, thats easily 40 to 60k miles of wear and settling on oem equipment. Replacing with new will throw it off. Skimping of something so simple is just dumb. Most vehicles from factory are just ball park set anyways. If never aligned could benefit it still.. Yeah, fail on me for finishing the job correctly.

So much fail going on here. As I stated in my first post. " with proper knowledge and tools" this job will be easy enough. Fail 1 and 2 Now saying "technically worn out parts wont require an alignment" Fail 3 You will be back in 6 months bitching that the car tracks like crap, tires worn uneven and blame it on the design failure of the replacment parts.

I do my own. Did my personal and company truck in the past 6 month. Bilsteins are what I use. Easy to do with proper knowledge and tools. Did front end of my 4wd Ram in 2.5hrs Front of 4wd F150 in 3.5 hrs

Awesome looking bike. Kind of funny, seeing that RC30 and this bike makes me want a sexy honda classic. Then I remembered I have one sitting downstairs. The xx is a 20yr old design. In 5 more years I can run antique tags on it. 😨

Front fender

You guys are slipping Tool pouch band still good

There is a crap load of lines running throughout the XX, don't have to replace all unless you feel that some of the hard lines have issues. HEL makes a 10 line kit for the XX, its almost $450 clutch line is under $50 or go with spiegler and just replace all the rubber lines with stainless braided for less.

Snow playing is awesome, same as offroading in the mud but you stay clean. Just do it before the salt trucks head out.

Normal from what i understand as the left caliper activates the LBS If we are on tge same page

Was asking John, but thanks also. I have given away most of all parts pulled off my XX. Beats having parts laying around in a bin wasting away.

Wouldnt happen to have a front fender laying around would you?

Thinking about it many people would quickly go to a trike or can am spyder. Then you watch this vid of the same guy riding and realize the need to ride and still lean over. Pretty slick designs he has incorporated into a modern bike to assist him. His plate is also a nice touch... reads I'm Back

Upper hose has a slightly different part number on ron ayers.com But both arent available on there for a 98 but are for a 03 fi bike.. Might just have been an update of part thats all, both look the same. Less than $40 for both

Have read of people cleaning the motor and system out on cars and bikes. Worth a shot to do some research and attempt to fix it. Not like it works now... Also might gain some knowledge in the process for later use.
