**Squiggles** · 9th April 2008, 22:33

Post trip to Hamilton, so probably 3:30ish

My shed, 26c Mt St John Ave, Epsom

Gives me a txt on 0212685528 when you plan on coming, if i dont reply instantly then we're still on our way and i will reply just before we get back.

Current list of to-do's:
Reseat Exhaust (GN + DR)
Change Brake Fluid (GN)
Redo taillight wiring (GN)
Valve Clearances (DR + GN)

Anybody else got some shit they need to do? Plenty of tools, etc BYO drinks but i've got saussies for the barbie if it gets to that time of night

I would like to do the valve clearances and the front fork oil on my vtr, only problem is i don't finish work till 7. I'm guessing you will be done by then.

Of course, your bike can be the first hyobag to pass through the shed, no beer payment necessary *looks at the pile in the corner*

I think i've even got the manual for the GT250R (not that its needed)

haha, yeah, just promise i'll be home before 5am this time

shingo; will the vtr require us to remove the radiator to get to the front cylinder? might pay to check first incase we need coolant. remember that if it's got shims there's not much we can do if we can't swap them around to get it all right. might have to buy/find some once we know the required sizes and have another arvo to install them.

oh, and find a service/workshop manual before we start. need the valve clearances and diagrams of which bolts are hiding where

I would still like to change the fork oil in the shocks, if your up for it? I don't need to change the seals if their not leaking, or should i just get some anyway seen as they should be pretty cheap.

**motorbyclist** · 10th April 2008, 00:25

forks should be a quick job, assuming it isn't built like a suzuki, and come to think of it i need to do the same with mine (or do some serious adjustment)

**HungusMaximist** · 10th April 2008, 06:29

Ah Stephen, I gotta separate the tank and get inside to the throttle so I can tigthen up my throttle cables to get rid that massive throttle free play that I have at the handle bar.

I've taken the tank off before not by myself as I don't have any hose clamps and those special pliers to remove the high pressure hose from the tank.

Is this a do?

EDIT: this is for the 929 btw.
