Jeff, family definitely comes first. Congratulations Grandpa! No worries, we'll have a beer in your honor. But, seriously, how often do you find yourself daydreaming about being in my garage? Might be construed as kinda creepy...
WNY Tech Day III, Saturday June 4, 2016
- Thread starter wnyfjr
- Start date
Help Support Yamaha FJR Motorcycle Forum:
Sorry to hear that Baloo, but I can relate. Hopefully we'll do another one next year, or someone else will have one that fits your schedule. Even if you have no actual work to do on the bike, they are a hoot just to hang around and 'supervise'!
WNY Tech Day III is just a week away!!
I know I sent location info to a few folks, but if there is anyone attending that needs it, PM me and I will fix you up. Ray compiled a list of tasks:
FJR Pittsburgh - Valve check (coolant) and watching the Pens in the Stanley Cup finals..... family commitments
Pista - CCT done in Owosso
Full House - fork oil and springs
deang - Clutch and brake fluid flush, TBS
TopSpeed1 - centerstand touch-up at the Beemer parking down the street.
Luis - Sag measurements
If there's anything else anyone needs to have done, let us know so we can be sure to have the proper tools on hand. Ray, don't forget that special tool you use to disassemble forks, as we will not have access to the collision shop this time around.
Laura was working on the menu earlier this evening. We shouldn't go hungry...

Sure looks like a great time. I'll miss you all this time around. Please post lots of pics so I can pretend that I attended. Have a great time and play nice.

OK gang, smoked the pork for 14 1/2 hours Sunday, pulled, vacuum packed and in the freezer. See you next weekend!

Since it looks like it will be a fairly light tech day, I may do some electrical stuff.
My LR4s go on and off at random. Best guess is a loose connection or two. Perhaps a faulty dimmer switch.
I'd also like to run some 12v/USB power from a fuse block under the seat to inside my Smuggler.
See you Saturday!

What time do you think you'll be ready for the circus to show up Saturday? I'm truly undecided on conveyance. Mel is not going to be able to make it. And her Buell needs a new head gasket. (Imagine my shock, when after about 5 miles on this thing, it starts puking oil all over.) I might ride the FJR down, and just point and laugh at you guys. Or, I might throw the Buell in the back of the truck and bring it down to be pointed and laughed at. I don't necessarily need help with it (Service manual and gaskets are currently en route) but I've never done a head gasket, and I believe it would be entertaining for the rest of you folk. And I definitely do not want to miss the clutch service and TBS on Dean's bike.

Hey Jon. I hope you can make it down with the Buell. I had one for a short period of time, never did any work on it however would like to watch/help with your project.

Jon, the head gasket job might be simple, might not. Need to read the manual to be sure. Valve check in order with that too, easy enough. Are you sure it's not just a valve cover gasket? That would make it a piece of cake. Since it is a lighter workload day, we can likely do it...... I'll be there Friday, so come on down early Saturday if you like.

I've got the perfect hammer for the job as well. We can take care of it for you Jon!
We'll be set up and ready to go Friday afternoon, so we can start early on Saturday...well, not TOO early...after the Canadian Invasion Forces have their morning Timmy's!

We can pop the lid off that Buell easy with that....... trouble is, that screwdriver is way on the other side of Torontarded and if it ever makes it into Billy's garage, it's gone for good.

Well then, it is settled. If all of my parts arrive in time, I'll bring the Buell down. You guys are the best.

I may do some electrical stuff too, some re wiring... I am bringing heat gun, solder tool, shrinking tube and the likes!
What time do you expect people there? For me it would be a 3.5-4h ride...
