Well-known member
Time for the Spring gathering, bench racing and tech day. This will be our tenth tech meet!
Saturday May 4th at my house again. (If you haven't been here, PM me and I'll send you the address) Starting at 9 AM going until 5 PM. (Cost is $10 includes lunch and helps with shop consumables)
There will be a swap meet also. Bring your stuff you want to trade or sell.
Try to keep in mind if you are doing something that takes a lot of time, that it may not be the best place to do it. Some have tried to do a cruise control install for the first time and have not been able to finish.
I am working with Barry from KFG Racing (GP suspension) to come by for a couple of hours to talk to us about suspension set up and have him show us how to set the preload properly. I will confirm this once I have a chance to follow up with him again in a couple of weeks.
GP Suspension is CONFIRMED
Topics suggested so far are:
Grounding system
Tire changes (I have a No-Mar) for those who need to (please take your used tires with you or leave $5 per tire so I can take them to the recycler)
TBS
PAIR system block off
Various electrical and electronic additions
Brake system flush - please RSVP this
Fork rebuilds - Barb,
Note: To clear up any misconception on the valve checks - You are expected to do the wrenching, we just help guide you through the steps, and make sure you don't get stuck. This is one of the more difficult maintenance items on this bike. If you are not comfortable taking the body work off, removing the tank and getting to the valve cover, please consider having a mechanic do the work for you.
We are limiting the number of valve checks to 3. Sign ups are first come first serve
Valve checks:
1. jmgrif (gen II)
2. BC (gen II)
3. Speedyegg (gen II)
The valve check folks will need to be here early (8 AM ) so their bikes can cool down and they can get the bike stripped down.
Bring pictures and DVD for bench racing in the movie room
If you are traveling some distance and need a place to stay, there are a couple of motels in Auburn about 5 miles away (La Quinta Inn and a Pepper Tree Best Western).
Lunch - snacks, hamburgers, salad and soda. Bring your own beverages for stronger stuff.
Attendees: (Please RSVP that you are coming for a head count on the food)
