Righto,

the Maintenannce day is on, and there are only a few days left to get it done.

The Venue:-
Next to the Police Union Office, 639, Murray Street, West Perth.

When, Sunday 12, or 19, or 26 August. Or September.

It will be bring your own tools and and parts. I can bring some specialist crimping tools.

Put down what you want to do, but it will be easy basic stuff, as we dont want to disable anyones bike

Any is fine by me.

Does it have to be in August? Or can we spin it out into September (just thinking of the guys who aren't in the Metro area, it's a bit short notice for them) ?

I can amend for a Sept event

Excellent timing... I've got 1300km to go before the 18,000km minor service. I'll be interested in everything even though mine doesn't need much now - it is still new after-all!

I've put down for the 19th Aug, but I can do any Sunday after that - just not next w/e.

Here's my wish list anyway...

- fairing on/off - I have the instructions, but never done it myself.
- rear diff oil - done it once already, but would like to confirm I've done it right
- engine oil & filter
- air filter (not sure if mine needs it)
- brakes - checking/replacing pads
- brake/clutch fluid - bleeding & replacing (my clutch fluid is a little dark)
- all things electrical, esp. accessories (switched - I'm making my own fuse box as I type) & jump start

I'm more than happy just to watch, rather than work on mine... I'll bring my oils, filters, etc. and tools (incl. torque wrenches) - that I can carry anyway

Most importantly, I'll bring my camera.

Cheers, Rob.

I have nominated the 26 as the 2 is Fathers day I can also do the 9

Any day except September 2.

Looking at doing the HID side stand mod Brock and possibly the jump start leads onto the battery.

P.S. might have a tow bar on by then, so I can bring my trailer.

Just realised that Brock has put Slapper on my signature, which I can't remove.

There is only Slapper Brock, and you know who you are.

Christ Mal, it's sounding like a Malcolm Day instead of a Maintenance Day.

You can fix it but I wont tell you how.

I have some Anderson plugs left, and some wire for the battery, so you will need a 50 amp jumper lead from SuperCheap or the like. and a little money for the parts

Now all I need to do is spend the next 3 weeks reading all of the posts about oil. Then, I guess, close my eyes and throw a dart at them to pick which one.

Brock · « **Reply #17 on:** August 12, 2012, 11:37:43 AM »

Voting locked, date to be 09 Sep
