PNW Fall Tech Meet

[escapefjrtist]

Can I come over and get in the way?

...come over and we'll put you to work!

--G

 

[escapefjrtist]

I'll sign up. I would like to check the valves if there is time. George I'd like to meet up again in Monroe.

Big rain and I'll bale. :lol:

As it gets closer to the event, we'll set a few places for folks to meet up for the ride down. Regarding checking the valves...we already have three (or four) confirmed so it might be a stretch to add more. With your '05, make sure you have a valve cover gasket and the coolant tube o-rings.

--G

You probably should add the thermostat o-ring to that list.

Gen I, thanks for catching that '007! Roll up your sleeves...you get to work too!

Please read post #1 reguarding valve checks and brake bleeds.

Reminder for those considering changing the CCT. Although the job isn't that difficult (or time consuming) it still requires stripping the gas tank, RT side plastic and oil pump cover. The gasket for the oil pump cover is not reusable, so have a new one handy.

See all y'all soon!

Please read post #1 reguarding valve checks and brake bleeds.

Oh...awesome. Thanks y'all. I'll need to order up the needed gaskets. I'll be sure to get there early.

The final drive hasn't been leaking all that much, but I have all of the parts and tools for that. If we have enough time i'll tear it apart.

I am sure we can do the final drive. There probably are many that would like to see what all is involved. Please bring the tools with you.

 

[Dr. Rich]

You can add me to the list... I will be bringing a new shock and anticipate that it won't take Dave and George much time to put it on! Rich

Thank you!

I thought so. I remember there being quite a few that had wanted to come and watch.

Time for the Fall gathering, bench racing and tech day. Holding it a little earlier this Fall so those from the North and East have a better chance of being able to ride in.

Saturday October 1st 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.

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.

Topics suggested so far are:

Grounding system

Tire changes (I have a No-Mar) for those who need to

TBS

PAIR system block off

Various electrical and electronic additions

Brake system flush - please RSVP this also (Barb,

Since there is a large demand in the area, a few of us are going to do our valve checks later and help others get theirs done during the tech meet. With that said, we are currently limiting the number of valve checks to 3. Sign ups are first come first serve (If someone has expertise with this and can assist others please PM me so we may be able to help 1 or 2 more)

Valve checks:

1. Low and Slient - Gen II

2. Tom Edison - Gen I

3.

The valve check folks will need to be here early (8 AM ) so their bikes can cool down and get the bike stirped down and ready.

Bring pictures and DVD for bench racing in the movie room

If you are traveling some distance and need a place to stay, I can accomodate up to 4 in the RV. Or there are motels about 5 miles away. Please RSVP if you want to stay here.

Lunch - BBQ (ribs and/or pulled pork - from Ahchiu) pizza and soda (please donate $5 to the cause), bring your own beverages for stronger stuff.

Count me in again.

Freakin nails!! Just found a slow leak on my rear tire due to a nail. Plugged it up with the Stop&Go plug. First time using the tool, pretty impressed with how easy it was to use. However long term, I have heard that the shift in steel belted tires may eventually cut off the mushroom head and pop out the plug. Though the tire still has a lot of life left, with 8k on the tires, will be buying a new one.

I am hoping I can make use of the tire changer at the meet if it is available?

Yep, no problem. Maybe use your tire for a demo on fixing a tire too.
