oldschoolsdime92 Posted March 10, 2013 Report Share Posted March 10, 2013 (edited) I hear squids bouncing their bikes off the rev limiter and harleys chugging through gears to get on 75.... Riding season is near. Ride safe everyone! Edited March 11, 2013 by oldschoolsdime92 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revelstoker Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I made it official. Took the plow off the tractor and put the mower deck on. Spring has sprung.Boldy optimistic as it is still officially winter and Easter snows are still probable.Though, I like your confidence.

Kmanlyst Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Most I did to mine was the new slipon and then I did a fluid flush but that was Monday last week. Yesterday and today was for running those new fluids through the bike. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snot Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I got a pass to the garage only, so eliminated the tail. Due to other circumstances we could not ride this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought mine like that, sometimes it's good and others it does get obnoxious. But i have to hear yours! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the weather holds like it is supposed to you'll get to hear it. Hope it stays nice on the 19th so I can do a birthday ride. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jst2fst Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I did close to 50 miles today for a shakedown to if I had done the coolant flush right an the new wrap on my exhaust is coming off so I've gotta fix that this weekend with some wire I bought just in case. But none the less damn it was nice to be back on two wheels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bad324 Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 I uncovered and started the bike, had too many things around the house I needed done just to get the bike dirty to sit in the garage another couple of weeks before real spring is here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted March 11, 2013 Report Share Posted March 11, 2013 Took me twice as long as normal to change the oil and put in new plugs yesterday... Kept stopping to look at the bikes going by on my road Ready for riding now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 Jamal (malasianinvasion) came over today after I told him I took the day off work. Got fresh Dunlop on the back of the shadow, greased the shaft splines, changed the gear oil in the rear end, bled and rplaced the clutch and brake fluid and gave the k&n a good cleaning. Only fluid I haven't touched is the coolant, probably tackle that this week. P.O. must have had mice, the air box was full of some sort of pelletized pet food... This bike definitely wasn't super maintained, the clutch fluid was kinda creamy, brake fluid didn't look great either. Accidentally put too much oil in, so had to drain some out. Dirty as hell just from sitting in the bike for a few days and running for maybe ten minutes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
granda080 Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 I rode Sunday for literally 3 minutes. I was trying out my new phone mount, usb port and gopro. I would have gone longer but my tags may be expired.I spent some time today installing a dual usb port in the inner fairing. Already did the oil. All that's left is brake fluid change.Tags and then tire pressure check before rolling it out on the next nice day! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnG Posted March 12, 2013 Report Share Posted March 12, 2013 P.O. must have had mice, the air box was full of some sort of pelletized pet food... Was it bright greenish blue? NOT pet food... more likely rat poison. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
