Dion Posted June 6, 2005 Share Posted June 6, 2005 I learned that the XX's petcock is NOT vacuum actuated :oops: I learned that if you pull a NIK and over tighten the front fender bolts they tend to not want to come out ever again :oops: I learned that Craftsman bolt extractor kits cost 50 bucks but work quite well. I learned that the Speigler kit was really not a big deal to install. Just compare the fittings on the line you just took out and the orientation is fairly easy. I learned that if you use a large cresent wrench on the 3-way manifold for the front when you tighten the lines and then bolt it onto the bike you don't have to grind that nub off the delay valve. I learned that the two larger speed bleeders fit the rear caliper and make bleeding the system a piece of cake. I learned that the other 5 speed bleeders don't fit anything :? I learned that teflon tape solves the air leak problem around the stock bleeders. I learned that by going to stainless lines and a bigger bore master cylinder I'll have to adjust my front brake technique 8) All in all it took a day and a half to take the body work off the bike(because I was too ham fisted) and a half day to get the lines on and bled. Oh, one more thing I learned, Sears was giving 10% off this weekend and had the fridge we were looking for in the clearence room so if you don't want to spend the money don't call the wife :roll: Walked in looking for a bolt extractor and walked out with it, and a fridge, and a stove and a dishwasher.

Ken It actually took about 15 minutes to get the body work off. it was the 2 over torqued fender bolts that took the rest of the time. :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
02XXCA Posted June 9, 2005 Share Posted June 9, 2005 When I went to remove the left front Linked brake actuator, I stripped out the two M8x32 allen wrench bolts. I got pissed and grapped the vice grips and a torch and headed the bracket and unscrewed them. I guess the locktite did not want to come out. I had to order two new bolts.
