Rego is registration.

 

Yesterday I installed my clock/temperature thingey. A little white paint and I think it came out good.

Today I rode to work, 27 deg F, took pics and posted them to the forum and then put it up for the snow tommorrow.

 

I like the white temp/clock, looks good. I looked at my bike when I parked the cage today. 6 inches of snow tomorrow, YUCK!!!

 

Yea calling for 2-4 inches here.

Anyone know where I can get a set of snow chains to fit my 'cane?

 

Swedish ice racing tyres and you'll be good to go........150+ spikes in each
Oh and I fitted a new battery and reg/rec - I'll have to check the old one. I've ordered another Stator/alternator cover off e-Bay too, in case mine is shagged. Always good to have a spare anyway, for $49 - cheap insurance.
The saga continues............

 

I looked for chains on e-bay, but could find none........

 

Got stuck into my 1990 again yesterday , temp went above freezing so got a few
hours in working on her. Had to rebleed the clutch line ......seems I left an iddy
biddy air bubbles in there, cleaned the rims , changed oil & filter, drained the tank
had some condensate in the bottom, lubed & cleaned the chain........fired her up
and she's ready willing and able for a good run .........soon I hope.

 

I have taken the forks out today to change the fork oil.
The manual says 14.1 fl oz so i measured that with water & marked it on the container that i have drained the forks into,
but there is more than that come out possibly 18 fl oz (iv not measured the old oil yet iv left it dripping over night).

I will check the springs also, i would change these now but short on pennies so see what they are like.

The bike handled OK just didnt like pot holes/bumps very much. Iv only had the bike a year its on 51k & not sure if the fork oil has ever been done.

Back in the garage tomorow.

 

ALL DONE

When i read the manual PROPERLY it is 14.7 fl oz per leg.
So after the oil drained overnight i took the springs out & measured them 446mm so all OK for now.




I measured out & refilled with AFT.




When i had done this i measured how much old oil had come out it was only 23 fl oz so 5 fl oz short, should feel a bit better on the bumps now.



It has been good to work on my bike it feels like summer is just round the corner.

 

I checked to be sure the breezway roof it's parked under didn't colapse from the 6 inches of snow on it

I could still see the rear tire peeking out from under the cover, so all must be fine

More snow/freezing rain/ 0 deg temps forcast this week so, ugh.
