Ho about replacing the mid gear o-ring and outer seal? They tend to flatten out and leak with old age:

https://www.fjrforum.com/forum//index.php/topic/142983-gen-i-mid-gear-leak/?hl=%2Bthird+%2Bgear+%2Bleak%3F

Real easy to change while the new engine is out..Un-doable in the frame..

If there is an overage of funds after taking care of everything. I would propose that any extra be sent to support the forum itself. It is the glue that holds us all together.

Sorry...This probably isn't the time or place, but I disagree about sending overages to the forum. I have offered that in the past and never received a response.

The money I sent for this is for Patriot and only Patriot. I expect that 100% of my donation will go to his cause. If there is extra, send it to him for maintenance of his bike or for his family. Actually, I wouldn't object to giving some to Redfish Hunter for his time and fuel.

If the forum wants/needs money, all they gotta do is ask. I'll happily donate to that cause too.

I concur with Rodzilla. If the money sent pays for the new engine and leftovers can buy new tires then trow em on there too. All money should go to Patriots bike...

 

[Jeff Q]

I would vote leftovers for Mike as well.

 

[rogdeb]

Contribution happily sent

............. good on ya Fred and good luck Mike.

And yeah .... all monies should go to Mike.

Rog n Deb

 

[hppants]

Agreed here - Mike could use the leftover funds to purchase tires and wear and tear items. At least for a short while, he can enjoy his Patriot Guarding for less out of pocket money.

We've done a good thing here, my friends.

 

[Auburn]

agreed let the extra go to mike to keep him on the road!

 

[Patriot]

the necessity of a bike ride to that area. BTW, that is not a big sacrifice! While my area is flat and straight, where the mechanic is located is a beautiful area with plenty of wonderful motorcycle roads.

there it is, I knew it, too

you Bastard !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

 

[Blind Squirrel]

$ sent. Hope it helps get Patriot back on the road in short order.

 

[extrememarine]

I agree - what is left over should be sent to Mike for use as Mike sees fit - tires, maintenance, fuel on PGR missions - I don't care what he uses it for so long as he uses it. Thanks for bringing this up 'zilla.

[Redfish Hunter]

I would agree except that I don't like Zilla. If we pretend someone else came up with the idea, I will go along with the crowd.

Well, actually 'graler' suggested any excess going to the forum. Zilla, correctly IMHO, disagreed and woke up the whole asylum.

Does that work?

Al.

 

[Chuck35]

I concur, overages for tires and fish gas.

I'd suggest PR3's

Speaking of overages. I managed to tear a spark plug boot getting it out, If one happens to be left over....

 

[Redfish Hunter]

What are we going to do with the left over good parts? Do we send everything back home with Patriot? Surely he could find a place for an FJR block and heads, perhaps in the kitchen cabinets? Perhaps under his bed?

Seriously, if there is anything left over from all this that is worth saving, do we want to store it somewhere for the next unfortunate forum member? Maybe we could send them all to Howie and he could assemble a complete engine from all the parts? (Don't hate me Howie!)

 

[dcarver]

Volunteer Howie, great idea!

 

[Denver_FJR]

Volunteer Howie, great idea!

I second that! Thanks for stepping up RH!

 

[RadioHowie]

Hey, I'm up for it, but damned if I know how I could test the bitch...be kinda tough with no fueling system...or induction system...or starter...or spare ECU...or spare cooling system...or spare electrical system to run everything.

Never mind, it's a HORRIBLE idea!

 

[Chuck35]

I'd guess between all of us we have enough spares to assemble a full bike.

Well maybe not enough push pins...

 

[graler]

I guess I learned a lesson about quoting or in this case not quoting. There was a post a couple before mine that brought up overage of funds. That post suggested another proposal - keeping it around for a future rescue. I thought I would make another suggestion. I know that I would not want to be in charge of such a fund and that it would likely get complicated. The obvious full disbursement to patriot eluded me at the time. Over and out.
