Deb at the office and junior hasn't finished his chores yet. But I did get the new EK on. it looks purty

I love you Nik but....... Step away from the tools before somebody gets hurt! But seriously, Ayers should be able to help with the part#. My guess is there's a change from Carb to FI. Order the pan, new drain plug and washer. O-rings for the oil return pipe and new exhaust gaskets(may not need them but good insurance) Then borrow Chris's Torque wrench but make sure he's attached to it when it arrives. Sit down and read section 4-4 and 4-7,8 of the manual. then read it again. It's not a difficult job, just go slow and take your time. And follow the torque specs.

Don't think the thought hasn't crossed my mind. Same deal as the Helmet Nik? :poke:

Nah, that would throw off the calibration of my torque wrench :wink: I'll just use a Johnson bar, instead. If it were my bike, I wouldn't fuck with oversized plugs. Remove the pan (or have somebody remove it for you) and have a machine shop install a heli-coil. Either that, or replace the pan. I don't want any of those filings in my motor trying to butcher the oil pan to fix it. Removing the pan is easy enough, but you might want some assistance when re-assembling. If you have some help, you'll be back on the road tomorrow afternoon. +1 on this Nik. An oversize bolt would just be a temporary fix if it works at all. Most likely it'll just finish of what ever threads are left. There use to be rubber replacement plugs for cars, don't know if they still make them. They looked like a bottle nipple. You press them in with a rod and when you pull the rod out the rubber springs back to seal the hole. Even if you can find one of these you should still pull the pan for a proper repair.

Ping Plasticweld. That's his business and he's near Watkins Glen.

If can change your Schedule a little you won't be the only bird there Saturday 8) http://cbr.geckobox.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=19420

Dragon next week, I figured I put on some new tires. http://www.tireexpress.com/category.cfm?Category=1252

Naw, looked in my parts bowl and said "where does this go?" DOHHHH!

Actually my tire is fine but my torque wrench is cupped After the air warmed up the bike fired right up. New battery time. But still gonna go through the charging system.

Boy the bike is sure quiet with the new CCT!!! What a piece of cake to install as long as you remember to re-install the sealing bolt before you button the fairing back up :oops:

It goes up on the stands tonight and gets the meter taken to it. I don't want to have have to worry about the charging system while I'm on the road next week. Hey Ken, since it's suppose to rain tomorrow and thurs, I'll probably do the sprockets while I have it up on the stands. You wanna come over this week for some dinner and chains?

Fucked!! Got to work to day and for no reason in particular I restarted the bike after I parked. Not joy! Rode all last week no problem. The only thing different was I had the highbeam on today. It did this once in february but not again until today. The only thing in common is that it was in the 30's and I had the highbm on. Wishfull thinking is that the batt needs replacing. But i'm a sceered that that the C/S may not be outputing enough to make up for the highbeam. Lie to me guys, tell me it's only the battery

I can't seem to upload it but pm me if you need the page for the headlight and I can Email it to you.

Thanks guys

Just out of curiosity... 110 links will work with 16T but has anyone tried an 18T? 45T rear Just wondering

Now you know I already told you I wanted to get my hands on your tool... (heh heh, I said tool) I went with the EK Dale. That and the Sunstar sprockets. And since ABM doesn't offer a rear I'll also be putting on a Galfer wave once I get my delivery from Tasty Nuts(thanks for the tip). Now if we could just get this suspension buy going 8) Thanks again for your work on these buys dude. I owe you a cocktail or twelve.

and sprockets are here. (thank you Louie "partmonster" and Paula). Now. Considering that the last bike I owned with a chain was a GT750, back when Carter was president, I know nothing about these O-ring chains. Is there any special prep before installing them? Should they soak before install in Oil K.Y Astroglide Hookers or just slap it on and lube it?

I think you're going to get something similar to the setup in the clear alternatives taillights.

Thanks Pete, I like the idea of a front and rear for 2 bills. D

Hmmmmmm. What kind of price can you do on a pint? 2k bird.

[-X :banghead: I'm already wearing down my free Road Attack rear. Since I wearout ANY expensive rear in 4 to 5K miles I'm going to run Contiforces. Got a set coming for $181 SHIPPED from: http://stores.ebay.com/EMOTOGUY_Motorcycle...1QQftidZ2QQtZkm Might try Maxxis, hell if they don't stick, maybe they'll last. :??sign: What do you think of the Attacks?

Just adjust the screw. Holds it fine on mine.

FWI, I don't bother charging mine unless it needs it. I think I've bought two batteries in the last 10 or 12 years.

Hey Brian you really don't want to be charging a battery inside the house. You could end up poisoning yourself not to mention that it gives off explosive gases while it's charging. If you're gonna take it out of the bike just keep it in the garage sitting on a piece of wood.

Yes
