Too right. Them carbs have always interested me. And same with that tapping noise :P

[Real_Wolf]

I'm up for it, only busy from 9-12 on Saturdays during the weekend

[Squiggles]

Having looked at the forecast, and lol'd at the fact that there is a fine period mid week then more weekend rain, saturday could be a go-er

[Timati]

I'll be keen to come around and give a hand. Need to pick up those brake pads as well...

[Slyer]

I have a certain pocket rocket that needs fixing. :P
Actually I just need an alan key..

[PirateJafa]

No allen key for yooou!

[Ragingrob]

Maybe we could organise someone to drive my tyre to cycletreads so I can get it put on and then see how it feels lowering the forks to match the profile difference...

[Slyer]

I work a 1 minute walk from cycletreads if that's any help. :P

[Ragingrob]

Really? Well I think my tyre's at Stephen's right now... You wouldn't be passing by his at all during the week would you? And able to leave the tyre at your work or somewhere? I could prob ring cycletreads and they'd keep it there for me fine.

[Slyer]

I was just at his with the cage on saturday and Jafa was just at his in the sentra today.
Missed opportunities. :pinch:

[Ragingrob]

It only got delivered to Stephen's (I believe) today :p

[PirateJafa]

I was at Stephen's today as it got delivered. :P

Can transport it easy on a bike though.

[Squiggles]

Do it on Sat perhaps

[klyong82]

It only got delivered to Stephen's (I believe) today :p

Just wear it round your waist and ride it to Cycletreads...you will then only know how comfortable your ride will be with the extra padding round ya waist.

[teamsuperoxide]

Fix-it day! Yes please. Is there anyone who could tackle the dodgy electronics on my bike?

[EJK]

If we can have a BBQ grill turned on, I could bring some MEAT ;)

Wouldn't I wanna have the bike there for them to put it on etc?

[Squiggles]

they can put on a tire without having the bike, they only need the wheel lol, quicker too, took all of 2 minutes to have hannes done

[Ragingrob]

Oh yeah shit I was thinking of the rear wheel, which would be a bit of a bitch ay, but front should be sweet doesn't need to be aligned or anything. So we'd hang my bike up at yours and get the wheel off?

What do ya reckon about trying to bleed that rear brake? Or leave it for another day?

[Squiggles]

i think we have a good read up on doing the rear

the only tricky part about the rear is the chain if it's a bit tight

but for the NC30, the rear wheel simply a case of propping the bike up (i got paddock stand:D), pulling the safety pin and removing the nut

i'll be doing my brakes when the weather isn't so wet/humid - full rebuild top and bottom

[shingo]

So it's saturday yea?

Anyone wanna go buy stuff from Repco in new lynn with me? Shaun should be working on that day and he should be able to give us discounts :p

Keep it on the down low mate, dont want too many people finding out.

P.S. if you do come, make sure it ain't during my lunch break, otherwise you'll be standing round for half and hour.

Pollion me! :lol:

[Phurrball]

I may pop along after work and see if I can't bugger up a 'westie screwdriver' chain adjustment on the big viffer.

I seek supervision as I've not done it one one of these single-sided swing arm thingees before...

[teamsuperoxide]

yep, ill sort your electrics

So besides the bike what do I need to bring? I still can't get the side-panel off because of a munted screw.

[Real_Wolf]

yeah good question. I'm betting mines gonna need a bunch of stuff, especially that clutch.

ridiculously easy and even easier if you have the right sized C spanner for it (same sort that you do the shock preload with but bigger)

beer, parts, beer, fluids, beer and tools if you have them...

[Squiggles]

dunno, maybe a 6 pack, ill sort the screw, it'll come out or we'll dismantle the entire bike till its the only thing left

seriously though, ill impact driver or easy out it

[BANZAI]

Hey dude, I'll join ya. Where did you want to meet up? Town?

Meet me at Stephen's, I'm going to fix day first and then decide lol

[Timati]

What time does the fixit do start? I'm guessing 10'ish....

[Squiggles]

10ish is good yeah

[Real_Wolf]

meh, I won't be there till after 12, though might leave work early if I can get away with it.

[motorbyclist]

i should be there 10 till 2

[teamsuperoxide]

Did anyone she the weather on the news tonight? Looks like it'll be a shitter tomorrow, fingers crossed for long fine breaks.

[Real_Wolf]

I"m hoping for a fine break at 12 when works done, cause it is POURING down, and I only have a waterproof jacket :P

[BANZAI]

It wasnt nice weather to ride in to work...

But yea lets hope for some sunshine in afternoon. See you guys at 1pm.

[Squiggles]

Stephen should be back in half in an hour or so, if you find yourself locked out give me a text 0210570749

-Hanne ><

[motorbyclist]

lol! late to his own house. again.

[BANZAI]

When's next one? I think my GN have carb problem...

[Real_Wolf]

my xs could do with a carb clean to help it start, but then again it also needs that back wheel fixed, since a wobbly back wheel means no pushing corners at all
