Anyone up for a tech day at my place? Maybe burn some bird and kill a few beers. I got a few little misc things that i need to get done. Anyone else have any wrenching they need done? Or if you just wanna come hang out, eat some BBQ and drink some beer then carry your sorry ass out to Prairieville and join us.

[Bruce]

If I am able to go I will try to get there

[LiteHeaded]

Count me in

[Swampy]

Ill try to make it.... I dont need any work done but I have pretty good control of wrenches.....

[Timo]

I'll dang sure try, I need to do the doo, I guess, and valves maybe!?

I need to order a doo kit.

Thanks Juice, I'll help however I can.

[mattc]

If I haven't checked my valves by then, I should do that. Oh, nevermind, I'll be at work til 6. I'll swing by if there are still bikes being molested... I mean fixed :)

[Swampy]

Does anyone know if GN Gonzales is open on Saturday???/

If so someone wants to do valves on KLR .. Keep in mind you will need shims .. So either go buy some random sizes or be prepared to make a parts run..

[mattc]

I've been meaning to call Cycle Gear to ask if they stock shims... does anyone know?

[LAYNFRM]

i'll be at the fire station that day, otherwise i'd come shoot the shit.

[Swampy]

I dont think they do.. But they can prolly get the shim kits in....

[Klantz]

I'm a definite maybe, I have a friend coming in that week and don't know how long he plans on staying or if he would be interested in going as of yet. Nor will I know if my parts will be in, for sure the risers, but I think I'll do those when they come in this week.

[VM 2]

Ill try to make it.... I dont need any work done but I have pretty good control of wrenches.....


Ditto

[Bruce]

I need to do valve check at lease and doohickey if I can I do have a few shims but not many and was wondering what else you need anyone to bring

[Redbird]

Count me in. I'll throw the RD in the back of the truck and trek on over.

I could bring some snacks too ;)

[SVTFreak]

Ill be diving in cozumel that day, sorry..... ok not sorry, but you get the idea.....Ok you dont, but i aint even gonna think about you fuckers!

:D

Thanks to my wife!

[Redbird]

...but i aint even gonna think about you fuckers!

Ya think so huh? Wanna put $10 on it?

When you get into the water and look down at that white sandy bottom, you're gonna see a few rocks scattered in the sand, and you're gonna think to yourself... "Man, I bet this is what an arial shot of Rosie O'Donnels ass pimples would look like."
You'll try not to... but you will.

At that moment you'll say to yourself... "That fuckin Redbird is such an asshole for putting that thought in my head! I hope his fuckin bike falls over on him!"

And then you WILL have thought of us.
I'll take my $10 in small untracable bills please :D:D:D

[eddieM]

Count me in! I need to do my 15K tune up, most of it I can do, will need some help on a few items.

EddieM

[2Evil4U]

If we're in town, I can bring the stuff I have for GS maintenance if anyone has any they need to do. If anyone needs fluids or filters, you can PM me for a quote.

[VM 2]

Redbird, if you are definitely coming, i can bring that fish tank if you still want it for the snake.

Can you get 2-3 amsoil filters and 1 gallon of amsoil 20-50 for that day? I just did the oil change 200 miles ago with amsoil and OEM filter but I would rather pop in a amsoil filter now. That would give me an on hand supply for the next scheduled change.

[2Evil4U]

You have a PM.

[Redbird]

Redbird, if you are definitely coming, i can bring that fish tank if you still want it for the snake.

Yes, please do! Thanks :D

[SVTFreak]

Damn you!!!!!!

I did mine a while back, quite easy, just make sure you have all the parts to do it, gaskets, coolant, o-ring, oil and filter.

Here is the crap that came out of mine when I did it.

WOW! at how many miles?

[LiteHeaded]

9000, notice the broken doohickey spring. I discovered that at 7000.

[LAYNFRM]

looks like i might make it, depending on if i'm back at work or not

[mattc]

Bump.

I should be there for the duration, my new schedule has me off on Saturdays! :)

[Redbird]

Ok, while I'll still need help "sorting out" the little 2smoker 2fitty, I may have cured most of the problem...


I just bought a complete running engine off eBay :)
Hopefully it'll get here before the 21st.

[LAYNFRM]

what time is this here get together gettin started? that afternoon i've got my cousin's wedding at 5 out in pride.

[Juice]

You can come whenever you want. I will be out in the shop from about 9:00 am till.

[Juice]

Yea, hopefully the rest of the ignition system is up to par. Maybe we'll see it run before the end of the day!

[Bruce]

I am beginning to think I may not get to go unless my back and neck get better soon

[derf]

Anyone good at replacing spokes and truing wheels? The XR100 needs a few spokes and some truing, and some brakes, and a chain/sprockets. Brakes, chain, sprockets are not problem but and making rims and spokes good, tight, and straight are foreign to me.

[mattc]

I'm pretty handy with a spoke wrench, as long as the threads aren't frozen. Anyone have a truing stand, or something to hold the wheel with?

[VM 2]

Hey Juice, you gonna have the bbq going? If so I wouldn't mind marinating some chinese bbq ribs or something

[Juice]

Awesome, you can bring whatever you want. The pit will be roaring for most of the afteroon.

PS What the hell is a Vietnamese guy doing cooking Chinese ribs anyway?:stfu2:

Hmm, if I can find me a good butcher here that can slice me up some thin beef ribs, i can bring some korean beef

[Juice]

Ted, you going to make it? Might need your tire balancer?

[Ritten]

Ted, you going to make it? Might need your tire balancer?


If I'm in, then I'll be there. From now until I get on another long term project I'm pretty much "on call" so there's no telling when I'll be home or offshore.

[I_FLY_LOW]

As of right now, I have no maintenance squawks, but I may be in Shreveport that weekend... we will see...
If not, I can help out,... step n fetchit, tire guy, wrench bender, what have you...

[Flying Low]

i hope to see you there Ted.
...especially since I am the loser that would need the tire balancer. Bow12

all is not lost, if he doesn't make it with the real tire balancer... all you need is your axle, and 2 jackstands... works like a charm...

[Ritten]

A really defective charm if you've got a single sided swingarm! :RTFM:



LOL:bow2:

[I_FLY_LOW]

ahhh... well, that does throw a wrench in things....

[2Evil4U]

I'm on call that weekend, but if everything is fairly smooth I should be able to make it. I can bring the balancer I have. I've also got the doodad that allows balancing of 5-bolt BMW wheels if that will help.

[Redbird]

A really defective charm if you've got a single sided swingarm!

In that case, just use one jackstand! :Tazer1:

[Redbird]

"New" motor came in Friday. :D
I bought a Multi-meter to test the rest of the ignition system. If I can figure out what I'm doing, I may start checking that stuff Wednesday ;)

[URLOOZN]

DANG IT! Ya'll are killin' me! I got all sort of stuff to check on the KLR and here I am offshore for yet ANOTHER wrenchin' day. Ah well. I guess I'll just have to do it the way I always do....solo with Tiffany coming in and checking on me about every ten minutes.
As a side note, any reccomendations for a chain and sprockets? Brand/type etc? Most importantly, a vendor with good prices and service? Wouldn't want to use someone who gave a brother any trouble......

Thanks and ya'll have a great day next weekend!

P.S.: If anyone is interested, that's Tiffany's Birthday!

[I_FLY_LOW]

I just bought a set of sprockets and a chain from Motorcycle Pro Shop, for the KLR.
http://www.motorcycleproshop.com/?gclid=CPHJ-uPe4ZgCFRHBDAodYl_7cg
good aftermarket steel front and rear sprockets, and RK 520 chain for 121.05 shipped.
They were nice enough to call me, on their own accord, asap, when they discovered one of the originally picked out rear sprockets were out of stock.
They subbed with another brand that they did have in stock.
Very polite, easy to work with customer service.
I'd buy from them again.

These were what I ordered for my 08 KLR650:
Item 1Product ID: JTF511-15Product Name: C/S SPROCKET-15Product Price: $20.95Quantity: 1
Item 2Product ID: JTR487-43Product Name: RR SPROCKET-43Product Price: $33.10Quantity: 1

Handling: $2.00
State Tax: $0.00
Country Tax: $0.00
Grand Total: $121.05

[URLOOZN]

Not bad..not bad at all. I'll look into it. Thanks!

[Flying Low]

Any suggestions on where I can get some weights to help with the balancing of my wheels?

[I_FLY_LOW]

For the easiest way to go, go to your local Hobby shop....
Stick on lead weights, is what most of us use...
If you go to the motorcycle shops, they charge more for em..
They're all the same stuff...
something like this:
http://www2.gpmd.com/image/g/gpmq4485.jpg
http://www3.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXK204&P=0
Your local hobby shop should have em.
Not sure if Hobby Lobby might have em, or not.
I would thik if they sell pine derby car kits, they might sell weights too...

[minig0d]

I think a few people are bringing tire balancers and prob have weights. if you need i have a balancer and stick ons

Thanks! I am going to go look for weights tomorrow. Just in case, I'd appreciate anyone's help who has extra weights and would be willing to part with them. I'd be glad to reimburse you.

Juice, will you be up around 8ish? I wanna swing you by a check for the site and the snake tank for redbird

I'm doing the "truck/bike" thing too... only because I wish the project was running.

I've got a case full of various snacks. Should keep us in munchies for a while.

[LiteHeaded]

What time is the grill starting? Is it a lunch thing or afternoon dinner thing?

[Juice]

I got a small pit so it will be roaring all day long starting up at about 10:00 am.

Well I guess if nothing happens I will be there too, will be nice to meet some of u

[derf]

I can't decide if I'm doing truck/bike or truck/bike/bike. The XR4 needs nothing but a new owner. The XR1 needs spokes, chain, sprockets, brakes, etc. I was planning to put a stator wound for light output in it but I don't have a gasket.

Forecast calls for chicken. What's the weather planning to do?

[Juice]

A shot from last years Tech day. We ain't skeered of no rain.

I fear no weather.

I only have one thing to say about this whole Tech Day thing:






Ya'll SUUUUUUCK! Here I am stuck offshore and the weather is absolutely BEAUTIFUL. I tell you what, sometimes I really, REALLY hate this job. But then I go home for two weeks at a time and I remember why I like this job.

Ya'll have a good day and I hope you get a lot accomplished.

[Ritten]

I just finished loading the bikes up and will be leaving Houma in a few minutes. I'm bringing the wheel balancer as well as some wheel weights in case someone needs some.

[Redbird]

I'm loaded up and will be leaving in about 10 minutes.

See y'all soon :)

I'll be leaving in a little while. I slept in and my breakfast cooker seems to be on the phone.

BIKE BATTERY======FAIL FAIL FAIL!!!!!


On charge now, shouldn't take that long. I am going to bring the charger so when I get there I can top it off, or at least get me back. See you in a bit.

[Dirty_Sanchez]

Guys-

It was good seeing everyone earlier.

Good to see that old two-banger come to life.

Still waiting for Stu to put a set of real knobs on that shiney blue hot rod dirt bike.

Hope the shim was finally retrieved from deep inside the bowels of that KLR.

Yes it was a good day.

[eddieM]

This was truly a great Tech Day! I’d like to thank Juice, and it was a pleasure meeting you all. I appreciate the help in learing more about my KLR.

Today was probably THE best tech day DSRL has ever had when it comes to weather and attendance! It was good seeing some of the older faces as well as meeting some new ones! Here's a few pics from today.

He burnt the chicken again??????? So fellas, I bought him an expensive gas grill two years ago. He burnt the chicken everytime he cooked on it. According to Mr. Charcoal he couldn't regulate the temperature on the gas grill very well. Soooooooo.... he buys a cheap charcoal pit and HE STILL BURNS THE CHICKEN. Glad to hear the excuse about the pit is working for you honey!

Thanks for a great day to all, Thanks to Chuck for all the hard work and Juice for having this event, and to everyone else. It was nice meeting you all. :1stplace:

He burnt the chicken again??????? So fellas, I bought him an expensive gas grill two years ago. He burnt the chicken every time he cooked on it. According to Mr. Charcoal he couldn't regulate the temperature on the gas grill very well. Soooooooo.... he buys a cheap charcoal pit and HE STILL BURNS THE CHICKEN. Glad to hear the excuse about the pit is working for you honey!


i have to admit i burned the chicken this time. i got anxious cause i had a little pit and a lot of meat to cook so i rushed things:baby:

[Flying Low]

Juice,
Thanks for hosting this event. We appreciate your hospitality. It was great to be able to join you all again. And getting some new tires mounted was a bonus. (Thanks Ted!)

Guys,
It was a pleasure to meet many of you for the first time and it was good to see some of my old friends again. I look forward to the next time we can meet up.

[Juice]

[Redbird]

Yea, I had a GREAT time :D
I was hoping to see that thing run, but I had resolved myself to the fact that it probably wasn't going to happen. I'm glad Walt was around to prove me wrong. He's my new Hero.

I finally stopped giggling sometime around 6pm... but I still haven't got the smile off my face yet :D


EDIT: And thanks for all the progress pics of the 2smoker. And especially the vid, that was cool :D

[Juice]

It was good to see you again Eddie. Glad that you had a good time.
This was truly a great Tech Day! I’d like to thank Juice, and it was a pleasure meeting you all. I appreciate the help in learing more about my KLR.

Wow! What a great turnout. Looks like a very productive day was had by all. Man, that old two stroke is sweet!

He burnt the chicken again???????

Actually, Juice wasn't cooking. It was good. Some of the sausage was little black but still tasted good.

[Redbird]

It wasn't "black", it was Presidential :D

[monkey's_love]

Greg...you are forgiven....first time for everything! Juice, however has burnt the chicken numerous times. Glad to see you guys had some fun.

Yep, I bet the neighbors were excited to see all of you. Especially my favorite lawyer friend next door who complains about nonsense and the tattletale chicklet next door. I am sure we'll get the homeowners association letter next week. Too loud.....yada yada yada! Next purchase = piece of land & NOT IN A NEIGHBORHOOD!

BTW, what are the screen names of the guy with the tongs cooking, and the guy who rode the red KLR and worked his butt off all day working on that other KLR?

The chicken may have looked a little dark, but it tasted GOOD. What was the marinade?

If/when you do decide to move we'll all show up and help you move and throw one heck of a party after.

Then we'll print up signs offering free legal services with his address and put them all over town. "DWI? Divorce? I can get you cash. Pro-Bone-O Legal Services Call 225-xxx-xxxx if no answer visit 38XXX Summerwood. Knock really hard."

[Bruce]

Have I got just the piece of land for you, plenty of room, totally REDNECK, on a small lake, near a wildlife area. What more could you ask for

[BradyM]

Looks like ya'll had a really good time. Wish I could have made it.

[Shaq Diesel]

great meeting up with everyone. I figured with the cold weather ya'll might just be changing oil and eating by the time I arrived. My assumption was straight shot out the window. :)

I think we probably had half of the KLR's in BR roll through at some point during the day. :)

[Bruce]

The guy who worked on my junk KLR is ChuckKLR and his help was very much appreciated:cheeseburger:

Looks like yall had a great time and turn out. Brian, I bet the neighbors will have you kicked out soon if you keep this up!!!

Your KLR didn't look too bad. Next time I'll bring my XRL and park it next to you so you will look good.
Then again, everything looks lame next to those GSs, V-Stroms, and big orange KTMs.

It did feel like a KLR fest.

[Juice]

"Fug um" they don't like me much anyhow. Nothing says I love you like a 2 stroke 8:00 am wake up call from the Badger. :Tazer2:

Hated to miss it, but I had other obligations in Shreveport...

Walt,

He's our man,
If he can't do it,
.....NO one can!
Yay, Team Redneck!

Man I wish I could have been there. Looks like a blast. Maybe we'll have to have one 'o those days at the new house when I get the 'Man Cave' built. It could happen!

[Rocky]

Looks like an awesome turnout. I only wish that i lived closer so that i could attend some of these events.

looks like you are fixing to blow yourself up...........but the chicken was good to eat.

Your welcome Bruce! Anytime you need a hand just holler.

Btw, checked my shim stash today. 4 245 shims on hand. Bring her by after you rack up a few more miles and we will set em a little looser.

Thanks for the tech day Brian. Hopefully I won't be so busy at the next one.

Ps

Not guilty on the adv post. Was too busy.

[LiteHeaded]

How is it that a KLR rider can afford a house in that subdivision?




:wall:

Sorry Juice, Didn't mean to bring you down just by parking my bike out front. Next time I'll park in the back so no one can see.

[VM 2]

It was good meeting everyone out there. Sorry I had to leave early. I will try to make it out this thursday to dinner depending on where its at

[Ritten]

I gotta give major kudos to 2Evil4U as well!! Aaron helped me change the final drive fluid on the GS and even brought the fluid to do it with. What I'm sure Heberts would have charged $150 to do we knocked out in 15min. Thanks again man and now I owe you a hamburger, a steak, AND a six pack.

[2Evil4U]

Anytime Ted. It was nice to see how the 1st gen FD oil change is done.

[Save-the-Manatee]

Nice job guys.

[Bruce]

Chuckklr sure worked hard on my junk

[chuckklr04]

I still have a bunch of spare free KLR parts at the house (thanks Dirtysouth!).

I you are broke, give me a holler. I'll see if I have it in stock.

A few $s to Juice would be nice,but not needed if you are truly broke. Ie: laid off.

[dewnmoon]

Does anyone know if GN Gonzales is open on Saturday???/

If so someone wants to do valves on KLR .. Keep in mind you will need shims .. So either go buy some random sizes or be prepared to make a parts run..

They are usually open at least part of the day

[Bruce]

I have a few spare parts for a KLR also

[Katy]

so, whens the next tech day, with the help of a few dudes, trey has my bike running again :)

[Juice]

I'm going to need some new rubber before Deals Gap. I plan to host another sometime in early May.

[thedrizel]

I hear ya man. I need new shoes for the R1 and for the Husky. I also need shoes for my KX450 but don't have the money. GOOD NESS, tire pricing has gotten outrageous.

[scootertrash]

I will need to throw some new tires on by then myself.

[2Evil4U]

Both GS rears will be due by then.

[Juice]

Hopefully we will have a No-mar in the DSRL toolbox by then.....:respect:
Both GS rears will be due by then.

[LAYNFRM]

i'm sure i'll have something broke by then. although it probably won't be the bike, lol

[I_FLY_LOW]

enough of that talk already.. stop breakin' shit n' ride more!

[Redbird]

If all goes well, I should have the project 250 roadworthy by then.
I'll drag it back out and charge a buck a ride :D

you won't be the only two stroke there.... depending on when it is, mine could be a 250 or 500.

[Juice]

The new tire changer should be here in a few weeks. I am going to be putting together a tech day before the Deals Gap trip for everyone who will be needing new rubber. Would anyone interested in a tire group buy? Might be able to save everyone a few bucks?

[derf]

No new tires for me, but I would be interested in some used tires, though.
18" and/or 21" to fit either XR would be appreciated.

[mattc]

Just FYI if anyone is looking for sticky wheel weights, Car Quest has them in boxes.

[Juice]

Awesome, thanks for the heads up Matt.

bump so richie can set a date!

[chopt]

Come on Richie, I have preliminaries on the possible requirements to pass tech, which isn't much and I believe the bikes that are gonna require it may already be set-up.

[Juice]

Anyone up for a small tech day? I got a few goodies that i need to install on the GS? I'm thinking Saturday March 13th?

Can I drag the KLR out? Is Walt gonna be there? :D:D

I am gonna try to make it... I dont have anything to do to my bike .. But it would be a good shakedown run and If I do find some problems (hopefully I make it all the way) I will have help fixing them... Sounds like a win-win.... LOL...
