Zero Knievel Posted January 18, 2011 Share Posted January 18, 2011 1. If you put some oil in each cylinder to do a compression test. DO NOT panic when you start the bike up for the first time and smoke pours out the exhaust. 2. When changing oil, a shot or two of brake parts cleaner on the oil pan and bolt after you get it back together makes cleaning the oil drippings off the motor a breeze.

WD-40 works great for cleaning the oil off the pan and bolt as well! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crazy Dave Posted January 21, 2011 Share Posted January 21, 2011 Drain oil on Monday and leave pan there till Friday. This way all oil in and on motor will have dripped into pan. Replace plug and fill with oil. This sequence may be altered during riding season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zero Knievel Posted January 23, 2011 Author Share Posted January 23, 2011 You make your poor dog sleep in the garage? Darn straight. He's an outdoor dog. Long haired too. No way he gets to come indoors for any length of time. Likes to shed and slobber on everything. If I ever get another dog, it'll be short-haired and much smaller.

You sound like a guy who would like a cat, not that there's anything wrong with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Longer hair and being outdoors a lot = lots of dust and dander that sets off my allergies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RXX Posted January 23, 2011 Share Posted January 23, 2011 Hell, I got 3 dogs that have never been indoors. Big old outside dogs. Hairy son of a bitches. Love to see me when I let them out in the morning, walk me to the barn at night. They are not little bitty pussy dogs like our 3 inside dogs. There only constarints are the barn at night. During the day they have the roam of the county, or at least our little part of it. Ain't nothing wrong with keeping a dog outdoors. How else you gonna keep deer away? Edit: pardon the spelling. Ran out of beer this afternoon and have been hitting the Bookers pretty hard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackhawkxx Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Ain't nothing wrong with keeping a dog outdoors. In your opinion, not mine. While your deal sounds somewhat better than most dogs kept outside, I see dogs on a six foot chain with a plastic dog house. They might get some food once a day. No interaction. Sad. Why do these people have a dog and treat it like that. Dogs need a pack either dog or human. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Krypt Keeper Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 Hell my dog is basically one of my kids. She sleeps next to me or at my feet everynight. About the oil.. I normally pull the plug and filter and go upstairs for an hour and come back down to finish the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mekanix Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 1. This thread is about maintenance, not family members. I'm sure the dog is fine. 2. Don't weld after using brake clean on the same spot... bad things happen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
