Garage Night. (4-1-2010)

[Juice]

I'm going to open up my garage and make my tools, lift and tire machine accessible to anyone who needs them. I got a handfull things that I need to get done to the GS before my two upcoming trips this summer. I will need an accurate count of attendees and what/if you will be needing done to your machine. If you will be needing tires balanced, be sure to run over to cycle gear and pick up some wheel weights. I can place a group order for tires (Save on shipping) and have them shipped to my place if necessary. I will also be providing BBQ for everyone attending.

Edit: This is the Thursday before Good Friday so most will have the following day off.

[SimplyOrange]

juice, how good is your tire machine? i will have a set of Carrozzerias with fresh powdercoating on them and i may need to swap tires onto them if i cant have them done sooner, i just wanna make sure i dont mess up the new powder.

We have a Nomar machine in the DSRL garage. The machine is rated the best manual tire changer on the market. However, the machine is only as good as it's operator.

[Juice]

Well, come on out then!

[eddieM]

Count me in. If anyone lets me know in advance, I'll be glad to bring some cigars. All that I (might) need to do is to change the oil in my KLR; and if anyone could talk me through how to adjust my chain, I'd be very appreciative. Thanks.

[mylife57]

[mattc]

You should PM weave and ask him if he remembers jetting it haha.

[Juice]

[SimplyOrange]

Fitty,

for Mc tires i have found that very narrow about 1/2" and flat as possible with 12-16" is fine.with a tire machine not very much bar is needed.and teflon covered helps alot.

[Juice]

I don't have Friday off, but I should be able to make it for a little while.

What Brand is yours?

[Fitty]

Mine is the No-scuff tire tool I think. Supposed to incorporate the best of the No-Mar and the MoJo bars.

[derf]

I'll try to make it.

[Juice]

Can I get a roll call?

[2Dogs]

I got some long handled flat head screw drivers. That is how mc and bicycle tire changes happened in my neck a the woods fer as long as i kin remember.

What does it take to do the valves on a DRZ 400.

[bigtattoo79]

And if anyone is going from around Houma with a trailer I would chip in some money for a ride. I dont think I will have my truck back by then.

[mylife57]

[I_FLY_LOW]

I have the motion pro chain tool set, but I'm having a difficult time laying my hands on it, since everything's been packed from the move.
I'll keep digging around my stuff and find it.

Nahhh. I started moving around and doing some light exercise today and now I'm just sore. I'll be fine. I was a little worried about my left leg for a bit last night but it seems it is only a deep tissue bruise and nothing broken...thank goodness.
I think I'll just go do some walking today to try to work this out.
[/threadjack]

[pi3832]

I'll be there.

I've installed a JD jet kit in my DRZ400SM, and I'm in the process of doing the valve lash on it. So, I can (in theory) be of some help for folks working on DRZ400s. If nothing else, I can tell you what *not* to do.

I've got the JD kit instructions as .jpg files, but they're too big for me to upload here. If I remember later, I'll try to resize and post them. I've also got the Suzuki shop manual as PDFs. Again, if my brain doesn't fail me, I'll bring them with me on a flash drive or something.

The DRZ400 forum on ThumperTalk.com has jetting advice if you've got something other than a stock bike with a 3x3 mod. Otherwise, the JD instructions are a good place to start, IMO.

Oh, and the biggest problem with the valve lash that I've found so far is getting new shims should you need them. Down South Motorsports (in Denham Springs) sells them individually, but they aren't open very late, AFAIK.

Anyone got a set of 9.5 mm shims?

PS: I'll most likely drive, so let me know if there's anything I can bring.

[LAYNFRM]

[Juice]

FYI, I will not be cooking tomorrow. I will be tied up at the office and will not have time to cook. We can order pizza or something. See you guys tomorrow around 6:00 pm.

You have to make a minimum of 25 a week (weekdays), and well 20 a weekend.

[Fitty]

I won't be able to make it.

[RidinBitch]

I thought about coming, but I told Zach I wanted to see if someone could help me jet my bike...(whatever that means-he keeps telling me it needs to be done)... but he said no one will be able to do that. BUMMER, but I may still come and bring my puppy.

[bigtattoo79]

I am out still havent got back my damm truck.

[Klantz]

On my way! Will need some help finishing the wiring of my heated grips and installation of a centerstand.

[mylife57]

Big thanks Juice for having all of us over last night had a blast! Big thanks to PI3832 for all the work done to the DRZ and everyone else for helping out!

[king4456]

Good times. Big ups to Richie for bringing canes and juice for opening up his home for us to make a mess. And to anybody who lent a hand to the low riding turd last night, thank you!

[Rocky]

Nice Job guys!

What he said!

[derf]

Sorry I missed it. There is this supernatural thing that keeps me from making it to events when TylerFK is there.
My XR250 parts came in yesterday, too. I just got sidetracked and never got back on schedule. I did grill some of the best burgers ever, though.

Love that Thrux.
Chopt got the German crotch rocket uncorked?

[pi3832]

Man, y'all ride some of the weirdest looking "dual-sport" motorcycles....

So, when's the next one?

[derf]

Next get together is Thursday dinner, I think.
Next event is Crawfish Boil, 4/17.

[Klantz]

Big thanks to Juice for the location, richie for the food and chopt for letting me practice center stand installation. Practice makes perfect right?

Oh and thanks Derf, I'm lovin it.

[chopt]

GOOD TIMIN,,,,,,,,
Now that we got everybodies bikes good to ride, let's schedule one..............

[I_FLY_LOW]

Good times for sure!
Nice to see you out and about, again, Free Bird!

[Badger]

sorry that i missed it i was camping with my paw paw

[Juice]

Do any of you guys that helped with my GS remember disconnecting any vacuum lines when we tilted back the tank? I got on the bike today for my morning commute to work and the damn thing will not idle. I looked and could not find any vaccum lines only the two lines that go back to the charcoal canister. Any ideas?

[I_FLY_LOW]

We saw one line that was disconnected.
If you're sitting on the bike, it's one of the two lines towards the right rear corner of the tank, that run along the frame.
Maybe 1/2" diameter.
There were 2 identical lines, the bottom one was missing a hose from a coupling, and there was a hose running from the tank, that looked like it went there.
Other than that, I don't recall removing any hoses.
I'm not really sure when that one was removed.
If you slid the tank back, it should have given it/them some slack, not pulled it/them loose.

PM Dean...he will be cranky at first, but he always has the right answer...

[allanj255]

Check the air temp sensor electric connection under the tank sits next to the air filter lid, Juice
Also if you disconnected the battery you need to reset the fuel injection memory - easy -switch on ignition without starting engine , fully open and close the throttle twice - job done.

[I_FLY_LOW]

We found the problem...
The flutastat was discombobulated, causing a out of band harmonic, which caused the thrush falve to go out of sync...
Freakin German engineering, for ya...
So after properly reseating the choke cable in it's bracket, it started to purr like a kitten...
Easy fix...

Thanks Phil, talk about a shot in the dark!!
