JustinNck1 Posted June 24, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2017 Rode 200 or so miles down to Hillbilly Hot Dog and back. Then stuck on a new registration sticker and decided to start my 2nd saddlebags sticker collection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nebbors Posted June 25, 2017 Report Share Posted June 25, 2017 Got the triumph back. Wow, what a difference! About 1/3 of the engine is new and it sounds awesome! Also got some size 16 boots from RD. Sigh, too small. I hate my big feet. Will arrange RMA on Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for change, pretty much been the same since I was 21 or so. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B-Mac Posted June 26, 2017 Report Share Posted June 26, 2017 (edited) Changed the rear tire on my wife's Spyder in preparation for our trip tomorrow. I was unable to mount the new tire with my No-Mar changer, not enough ass. Took it to a local shop "Big Dogs" $20.00 and I was good to go. What a pain in the ass it is working on the Can Am Spyder. Not friendly. 9mm, 13mm,15mm, 18mm UN-Common Canadian Hardware sizes. WTF. And the Tamper-Proof TORX . I hate this machine. I wish Honda would hurry up with the Neowing. https://www.asphaltandrubber.com/bikes/honda-neowing-hybrid-leaning-three-wheeler/ Edited June 26, 2017 by B-Mac Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted June 27, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2017 Got home from my trip, 1 customer bike sitting in the garage (07 R1) and another coming tomorrow (1800 Wing). Gotta get my bike ready for a trip in 2 weeks, new tires, oil change, and I broke down and ordered some exhaust(Birthday Present to myself). It's coming from across the pond, so who knows how long it will take to get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xsr900Rider Posted June 28, 2017 Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Cleaned and lubed the chain after seeing the post on paying attention to your chain. I've seen worse but I am going to put an effort into keeping up with it from now on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinNck1 Posted June 28, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 28, 2017 Rode to work this morning, nice brisk 52 degrees. Sitting here looking at camping gear. The idea of moto-camping sounds like fun, but camping gear selection is just overwhelming. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most extensive work I've done has been oil changes and replaced the battery. What should be done to the chain to keep it healthy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you don't have chain cleaner, kerosene or wd-40 are great alternatives for cleaning your chain. Won't damage the o-rings and gets it nice and shiny. Wait for the cleaner to dry and apply a nice chain lube/wax. Check tension (follow your manual) and let the lube/wax setup. Every 600 or so miles is good rule of thumb unless you ride in rain or really sloppy conditions and then do it afterwards every time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
