Had alot of rain here lately, so I decided it was time to do some maitenance. I was not quite due for fluid changes, but if you can't ride, you might as well be doing something to the bike...........
Stopped and picked up oil, filter, Spectro tranny 6 speed, and formula+ primary oil. While I was there, I decided to go ahead and get the Kuryakyn grips I've been wanting.
Day 1) Went for a ride around town to warm up the bike. Came home, got the tools out and was ready to drain. For some reason I decided to take the filter out of the box. It was not wrapped in celophane, had a dent on the bottom, and no gasket! Back in the house, and tommorow another trip to the bike shop!
Day 2) Came home with a good filter. Went for a ride, drained all 3 holes, and realized I have lost my #27 torx socket. Can't get the cover off, and it's past closing time for stores.
Day 3) Stopped and got a new socket, took off cover, went to put drain plug back in and see that the O ring is ripped. Back to the hardware store!
Finished everything off, and decided to tackle the grips. Easy job, did the throttle side 1st, removed the left side without breaking or tearing, cleaned the bars, and opened the glue. It was dried up hard as a rock!
Now its off to the auto parts store for some new glue. Spent $4.00 on a tube, that when I got home found that it was dried up too!!!!!
At this point I'm tired of driving around to get stuff. It's a good thing I have a case of beer in the fridge. I bet it won't let me down! :cheers
