Motorrad:
wife walked out tonight.. and started laughing
I JUST got my KTM back together about 4 days ago..
and now its appart again..
top end off motor (replacing water pump seal).. have to pull the rocker box to do so..
Doing it as prevention... as when the seal goes.... it dumps the motor full of water..
also chaning the roller rocker bearings while Im there... (some guys have had problems)...
going through every single electrical connection, making sure we are 100% and dielectric greese its brains out..
font end is off... fork oil change, stem bearing maint...
wheels are off... for wheel bearing check, and grease.
swingarm is out.. to lube every single linkage bearing...
every single chassis bolt has been torqued (and motor mounts).. and marker painted (line) so I can keep a visual on everything..
new battery.
:roll:
Im getting excited now..
kwakman:
dont know if im weird but the fettling before a good ride is almost as much fun as the riding. until you sit on it and are ready for the off and up to temp, you cant beat that adrenaline dump as you drop the clutch, post up that your goin b4 you leave and have a good un, keep em rubber down.
SHLEPY:
