yea...title says it all.

I’ll make another post tmw with what I actually did with the suzuki and BMW today...

one the second thought...
Today consisted of Oil change, coolant change chain clean and oil, and spark plug change on the SV. and a oil change and chain clean/lube on the BMW

First thing to do when doing ANY maintenance on a fully faired bike? 20 minutes taking off body work.... which fucking SUCKS BALLS

Did you prefer Molson Canadian or Labatt?

bob and john > Round headlight enthusiast
08/25/2015 at 19:19

havent tried labatt. Molson isnrt great. but at least it can still pass for beer. now budwiser on the other hand *shudders*

Round headlight enthusiast > bob and john
08/25/2015 at 19:20

Never had Budweiser bit someday I may have to for science. IMO Molson is like a 5/10 and Labatt is maybe a generous 5.5

dude....just wait until a freind orders and then take a sip of his. i am NEVER spending money on that POS ‘beer’ in my life. (stole a can from a buddy....ewwwww)

Makes me wonder just how bad Busch and Keystone have to be.

What do you drink?

And why wasn’t it one of my whiskey recommendations?

08/25/2015 at 19:29

because its not whiskey :D

I normally drink ciders. I tried this strawberry ruhbarb one, and apple. pretty good. got to enjoy them as I was working today, 6 pack of each

Damn 6 pack of each?! Title explained. Who makes them? Strawberry rhubarb cider sounds kind of awesome.

Did someone say moonshine? I’m in

bob and john > MontegoMan562 is a Capri RS Owner

Growers. They have a bunch of different ones. apple, strawberry rhubarb, grape...they are pretty good tbh.

Rear brake on my 05 600rr stopped working, so I bought a rebuild kit. I had to use a hydraulic press to push the piston out of the cylinder. What’s up with that? Can I still use that piston after I clean it?

Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies > bob and john

Strawberry Rhubarb cider? Tell me more. Strawberry Rhubarb pie is one of my favorite deserts.

bob and john > Jordan and the Slowrunner, Boomer Intensifies
08/25/2015 at 19:41

tastes just like the pie. yea, its alittle girly. IDGAF

bob and john > Santiago of Escuderia Boricua
08/25/2015 at 19:43

erm. dam.

okay, if the piston is still round and true,you might be okay. but if you had to use a press to get it out, I would double check both the piston and the caliper to amke sure they are both stll round and not ovaled.

also, how the fuck did you just a hydraulic press to take it out? i would have just taken the pads out and kept pumped the back brake.

PatBateman > macanamera
08/25/2015 at 19:46

Upon retrospect, I have never had Labatt nor Molson. I'll stick to my Shiner/bourbon/scotch/vodka martinis.

Santiago of Escuderia Boricua > bob and john
08/25/2015 at 19:51

Haha, I took it to work. My team has a small (12 ton?) press in our build room.

How do I check for cylindricity?

macanamera > PatBateman
08/25/2015 at 19:52

Shiner isn’t great, sorry.

bob and john > Santiago of Escuderia Boricua
08/25/2015 at 19:55

not i mean, did you drill a hle in the back to push through>

get a bore dail gaue/micro meter.

measure the bor at 90 degree to each other (so one in a Y axis, one on a X axis) if they differ, its ovaled, and you might need new pistons.

You have 300 grand to assemble your 6-car garage. Go.

Also, where does one purchase strawberry-rhubarb cider? And what brand is it?

bob and john > 911e46z06
08/25/2015 at 20:12

growers cider,

does it have to be a car garage? or is it 6 car spots? cus i can fit a LOT of motorcycles there....

911e46z06 > bob and john
08/25/2015 at 20:13

I’ll let you go 5 cars/trucks and 2 bikes.

Nope. 5 cars, 3 bikes. Final offer.

JEM > bob and john
08/25/2015 at 20:19

Why did I just discover that bikes have TWO master cylinders the other day?

Actually, I can answer that, because I’m kinda new to this and kinda an idiot. I honestly didn’t realize there was a rear one until this week. Rear brake seems to work much better now that I topped it off.

Also, ever try Crispin cider? Stuff is delicious though a little expensive.

How easy/hard is it to change a chain and what exactly goes into the work?

bob and john > 911e46z06
08/25/2015 at 20:26

hmmm.....fine.

bikes: Triumph dayton 675R with after market mods: 25K (dailey/track machine)
———- KTM 690 enduro R 20k (dual sport/supermoto/dicka round bike)
———- Turbo + nitro hayabusa 25K (because FUCK YOU)

total so far: 70K
cars: busa powered mini/caterham: 50?k
——- volvo V60 polestar: 65K
——- pick up trunk...probably a dodge ram 2500 w/ disel and lux package: 60K
——— lotus evora (used) 50K
car lift: 5k

BAM. done

bob and john > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
08/25/2015 at 20:30

kinda hard actually. you need some special tools (well...not really special, but BIG. a 32MM sokect for the front sprokect, and a heavy duty chain riveter)

remove rear wheel and dremel chain off. use impact gun on front sproket. remove rear with a small breaker bar. reinstal front and rear gears using the same tools. put wheels back on.

measure out new chain. remove as many links as needed by dremeling off a pin and removing those links.
use chain tool to re-rivet in palkce. DONE. do home, clean off packing grease, have a beer

bob and john > JEM
08/25/2015 at 20:31

because (usually) the front and rear braking system of a bike are totally and 100% separate. the only company that I know to ever combine them (even if its only during ABS activation) is honda.

I havent. I’m usualy either strong bow (first choice) growers (second...only because they have a lot of flavours) and alexander keiths.

911e46z06 > bob and john
08/25/2015 at 20:32

Interesting choices.

bob and john > 911e46z06
08/25/2015 at 20:35

:D. I’m not much for the ferraris and what not. the only hyper exotic i would buy is a kionegsegg or a singer or a LF-A, but you didnt give me the budget for it

Master Cylinder > bob and john
08/25/2015 at 20:37

Kinja'd!!!

I have up until recently avoided buying motorcycles with any fairings at all, just for this reason. But I broke that rule with a V-Strom 1000 last month. At least it’s only a half fairing, I guess.

bob and john > Master Cylinder
08/25/2015 at 20:38

not gunna lie, 1/2 the issue is taht i wored LED frame lights to them, with no quick release. so everytime I take them off, i have to cut and re-splice wires

Master Cylinder > bob and john
08/25/2015 at 20:39

At least it looks nice with the fairings on. And it’s a SV so you probably don’t have to take ‘em off that often.

bob and john > Master Cylinder
08/25/2015 at 20:41

bingo. not to mention the SV its a single MASSIVE fairing. until a CBR600RR. those things are fucking jagsaw puzzles

PatBateman > macanamera

Luckily this is what the master cylinder looks like so no drilling

I pushed through the banjo bolt hole on top

K-Roll-PorscheTamer > bob and john
08/25/2015 at 22:08

How long does that all take?? And 32MM? The largest socket I’ve ever used was a 24MM deep socket to remove the bolt holding the 944’s steering wheel in place.

bob and john > K-Roll-PorscheTamer
08/25/2015 at 22:19

Yea 32mm. And depending on how fast/annoying the chain pin wants to be, could be anywhere from 30min to 3 hours

uofime-2 > Round headlight enthusiast

Pretty bad but in americal they are like 60cents a can soooo theres that.

08/25/2015 at 22:36

If my new bars show up tomorrow, you want to come put the left grip on? I have blisters from getting it off still. And I have a new one on order to replace it so that will, be on me too. No fairings though. Just one fucked up gas tank

bob and john > The Compromiser

911e46z06 > bob and john
08/26/2015 at 00:30

I’m the same way. The only exotic that really blows my skirt up is a Zonda. I’m much more drawn to weird and interesting stuff.

911e46z06 > bob and john
08/26/2015 at 00:30

Also, couldn’t help but note there’s no Wrangler in your garage.

bob and john > 911e46z06
08/26/2015 at 00:39

It was never a reference to a jeep. It had to do with k-rolls ‘porchse tamer’ name. I thought it was cool, but instead of tamer, i went with ‘sv wrangler’ so i wasnt totally ripping him off

911e46z06 > bob and john

I was hoping for a more drunk Peter answer. Gargle fargle torque wrench and some JD. Get that right on will sum silly puttyn spit. Gargle fargle.

Truthfully it’s all good. I am finding the work cathartic. I did have a moment where I realized that I am responsible for the bolts holding large parts of it together and had visions of things falling off... now I am freaked out again.... great.

bob and john > The Compromiser

legit though, torque wrench. a good one. get it.

I drink the real moonshine from a still no one’s supposed to know about.
