What did you do to your Yamaha today?

All right 90 miles put on her. Just did an oil change and when I inspected the magnetic oil plug nothing on it
Gazed at the oil pan containing the old oil and no sign of glittering metal pieces-Even Better.
In retrospect the first oil change I my own opinion should be done with in 200 hundred miles. To remove all those small particles caused by the break in. Then again at 500 hundred just to make sure you got everything out of the engine.
Here is a picture of the saddle bags I am thinking about buying for 75.00 any thoughts good bad ?

 

This is just me in the middle of the outer hills enjoying the complete piece and quite.

 

Hauled a 750 motor into my basement for some TLC. God damn those things are heavy. I'm too old for that stuff, and require medicinal beer to cover up the really sore back. One more to go downstairs tomorrow >.<

I really wish I had a garage.

 

Maybe some block and tackle will work for you, like the ones they use for sailing ships. The more wheels the less physical force required ?
Or a young kid around the neighborhood for an easy 20 bucks.

Of course you can still have the medicinal beer measure.

 

I was thinking of some kind of block and tackle setup, as I need to bring another motor down there once I get it out of the frame, and I'll need to bring the first back up once it's had it's TLC. However, I'm in a rental townhouse with an unfinished basement, I've no idea how I would set something like that up (no straight drop down available, just an extremely rickety 2x12 staircase).

Heh... Turns out a 300 pound guy carrying a full motor is putting what may be too much load on 2x12's. There were some really alarming noises carrying it down. Maybe rig up some kind of sled. Hmm.

 

sled sounds like a great idea. Plywood and a good rope should do the trick.

 

Very nice work you have done there!

 

Reinstalled forks today after receiving dust seals. Thought I was just missing a pinch bolt on the triple tree bracket and had a replacement. Found out the original was sheared off inside. Tried an extractor without success. Now trying to soak in alum to dissolve it out. Arrgh. Another delay in getting things put back together.

 

Take her out for dinner, and tell her it was paid for by some of the parts you sold off the bike.........how do you think I can keep 40+ bikes around!?!?!lol

More bikes - more dinner dates

 

You must have a large barn for that many bikes.

 

No.... I have squirreled away around here, friends garages, etc.....

 

Makes it harder for her to keep track of, too
